A Nigerian,Babajide Breaks Guinness World Record For longest Twerking

According to Babajide, he wants to show that any accomplishment is achievable, no matter how big or how special it is.

The new feat is already generating reactions  on social media, with some applauding his commitment and others expressing surprise at the  odd  nature of the record.

The previous record holder  for the longest twerking is Elena Sofie Sterlini, an Austrian who twerked for  two hours and one minute  on 3 January 2023.

Since June 2023, when Hilda Baci, achieved a new GWR for the longest cook-a-thon, many Nigerians have attempted to break world records in different spheres of life.

Adebanjo’s feat comes on the heels of Fola David, the Nigerian doctor and visual artist, who broke  the existing Guinness World Record (GWR) for the world’s largest drawing by an individual.

The drawing, “Unity in Diversity”, showcases the diverse ethnic groups of Nigeria through their unique attire, languages, culture, and artistic expressions.

The Lagos-based visual artist began the six-day project on July 16 at Onikan Stadium with the goal of sketching 1000 square metres of art to highlight Nigeria’s numerous cultural traditions.

Earlier in April, Tunde Onakoya, Nigerian chess champion, emerged victorious in his quest to set a new world record for the longest chess marathon.

Though originally set out to do 58 hours, Onakoya persevered for a gruelling 60 hours before finally halting his historic challenge in Times Square, New York City.
