‘Please Enough With The Record-A-Thons,’ Says Guinness World Record Amid Record-breaking Craze
The global verifying records body, Guinness World Records has advised Nigerians and indeed everyone attempting to break any record or ‘record-a-thon’ enthusiasts to first get the record title approval from its team before embarking on it.
GWR is a British reference book published annually, listing world records both of human achievements and the extremes of the natural world.
The verifying world records body in response to Love, Ajoke (@livingwithajoke) who had announced interest in attempting ‘puff-a-thon and idea-a-thon,’ on Threads, said, “Please enough with the record-a-thons.”
GWR further advised in response to a tweet by @instablog9ja, saying, "We love the record-a-thon enthusiasm but we would suggest getting a record title approved by our team before attempting these marathon records!"
Earlier in July, GWR advised prospective record breakers to properly confirm with the Guinness team before attempting to break any world record.
Guinness World Records made this known on its Twitter handle.
“Polite reminder that you should probably have your world record title confirmed by our team before attempting it,” GWR tweeted.
