    A Nigerian man Babajide Israel, has set a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest duration of twerking after twerking for three hours and 30 seconds in Lagos.

    The GWR made the announcement of the new record set for twerking a form of dancing that involves bending low and moving the bottom and hips on its website.

    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.

    GWR said Babajide attempted to set a new record for twerking to give comfort to those suffering from depression all over the world.

    GWR wrote: “This record attempt was personal to Babajide as it was a way for him to get out of his comfort zone and to raise awareness for anyone suffering from depression all around the world.

    ‘‘His message is that no record is too crazy, too big, too great or too little to achieve. There is always space for everyone and their unique attributes.”

    According to Babajide, he wants to show that any pursuit 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.

    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.(NAN) (nannews.ng)

    Nigerian media mogul Mo Abudu is set to deepen her global influence as the EbonyLife brand prepares to launch EbonyLife Place London, a major cultural and creative hub dedicated to amplifying African storytelling and entrepreneurship in the United Kingdom. The new venture, situated in the heart of London, is designed as a multi-purpose space that will serve as a meeting point for filmmakers, content creators, investors, and creatives of African descent. The project reflects EbonyLife’s long-standing mission to project authentic African narratives onto the global stage while creating sustainable opportunities within the creative economy. Speaking on the development, Abudu emphasized that the initiative is more than just a physical space, describing it as “a home for African creatives in the diaspora and a bridge connecting talent from Africa to the rest of the world.” She added that the hub would foster collaboration, innovation, and access to global markets, noting that “the time has come for African stories to take their rightful place at the center of global conversations.” EbonyLife Place London is expected to host film screenings, industry events, training programmes, and business incubation initiatives aimed at nurturing emerging talent while supporting established creators. The facility will also provide networking opportunities for stakeholders across film, television, fashion, and digital media. Industry analysts say the move signals a strategic expansion of EbonyLife’s footprint beyond Nigeria and reinforces the growing global appetite for African content. By establishing a permanent presence in one of the world’s leading creative capitals, the brand is positioning itself as a key player in shaping how African stories are produced, distributed, and consumed internationally. The launch marks another milestone in EbonyLife’s evolution from a Nigerian-based media company into a globally recognized creative powerhouse, underscoring Abudu’s vision of building platforms that not only tell African stories but also empower the people behind them.
