According to information released by Guinness World Records, approximately 1,500 applications were submitted by Nigerians.
Many Nigerians have adopted the trend since chef Hilda Baci broke the record for the longest solo cooking marathon a few months ago.
There have been numerous marathons, including the longest reading marathon, kissing marathon, sex marathon, cooking marathon, and massage marathon.
According to reports, Guinness World Record disclosed that after the record of Hilda Baci, there has been a hike in the number of would-be record breakers from Nigeria after receiving 1500 applications.
GWR said, “The attention and excitement that Hilda Baci’s cooking marathon gained was certainly an incentive for many Nigerians to consider attempting a Guinness World Records title. Since her record attempt, there has been a spike in applications from Nigeria, particularly for marathon records.”
