Man tearfully begs Nigerians to stop attempting Guinness World Records
Meanwhile, popular Nigerian website Legit.ng reported that a man had tearfully begged Nigerians over the surge in record-breaking attempts.
In a TikTok video, the content creator, who attempted a crying marathon, expressed concern that Nigerians would tear the book.
According to him, since Nigerians learnt about Guinness World Records, the body has not remained the same.
He made reference to South Africa's Amapiano music concept which he said Nigerians bastardised after getting wind of it.
