Ghanaians Lament Over GWR Attempts So Far: "They Are Not Reading The Rules"

  • Two Ghanaians, who attempted to set various Guinness World Records, have failed in their quests
  • Five other persons have embarked on other attempts and are hopeful they will succeed in their endeavours
  • Social media users have shared their opinions on why Ghanaians have failed so far in their pursuit of Guinness World Records

The desire by some Ghanaians to etch their names into the Guinness World Records has been nothing short of failure.

This is against the backdrop of an announcement by Chef Failatu Abdul Razak that her attempt to become the individual with the longest cooking time was unsuccessful.

I think this is for the rest who are yet to join the queue of marathons….to learn from those who took the initiative to start. Inquire about what they did right and wrong, all the mistakes etc.You should know that rules are rules nd guidelines are guidelines

Abena Gyamfuah commented:

The thing is this record breaking should be one at a time. See this cook-a-thon one person is attempting and another one started. Copy copy nkoaaa.
