5 funniest Nigerian records in Guinness Book of World Records

These are the five most amusing Nigerian achievements recognised in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The 27-year-old chef aimed to surpass the previous record set by Lata Tondon, an Indian woman who cooked for 87 hours and 45 minutes in 2019.

Hilda Baci not only shattered that record but also established a new benchmark by cooking for an astonishing 100 hours and 40 minutes! This remarkable feat has filled the hearts of Nigerians with immense pride.

The country has witnessed numerous instances of its citizens breaking world records in the past. Among these remarkable achievements, there are some Nigerian records in the Guinness Book of World Records that are simply hilarious.

Some of these records may appear absurd, making us question their authenticity, but they are proven facts.

Without further ado, let’s delve into five of the most amusing Guinness World Records with ties to Nigeria:

Nigeria holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest breed of domestic goat — the Nigerian Dwarf.

In fact, the Nigerian Dwarf Goat Association provides even more specific guidelines, suggesting that bucks should ideally range from 48 to 53 cm and does should fall between 43 and 48 cm.

One of the funniest Guinness World Records attributed to Nigeria is the claim to the title of the fastest monkey.

The patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas) holds the title for the fastest primate on land, with its maximum speed surpassing 30 miles per hour. The patas monkey not only secured the crown as the world’s fastest monkey but also provided us with a previously unknown insight into the natural world of wildlife in Nigeria.

This record was set in 2015.

Nigeria holds an amusing Guinness World Record for a goat breed that produces milk with the highest ever recorded butterfat content. With an average butterfat content ranging from 6.1% to 6.5%, this breed surpasses full-sized goat breeds by a significant margin.

During lactation, the butterfat percentage can even reach 10% or higher. This milk is widely used in cheese-making due to its richness.

This record was set in 2015.

An achievement from Nigeria recognised by the Guinness World Records is that of Senator David Omueya and Cynthia Esella Dafinone. Their three sons and two daughters all achieved qualifications as members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

The children are Igho Omueya DafinoneEde Omueya DafinoneDuvie Omueya DafinoneDaphne Omueya Dafinone, and Joy Ufuoma Dafinone.

Notably, Senator Omueya had previously obtained membership in the same institution back in 1963.

This record was set in 1999.

Nigeria proudly holds another remarkable Guinness World Record, and this time it’s for the longest drinks pouring relay.

On June 1, 2018, an event hosted by Arla Foods Nigeria took place at Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island, Lagos, to mark World Milk Day. A staggering 650 enthusiastic participants came together and successfully achieved the record. This event set a new global standard for the Longest Drinks Pouring Relay.

Remarkably, the Academy of World Records acknowledges and celebrates this extraordinary achievement, which is well-deserved.

Overwhelmed by his success, the boy made a life-changing decision to pursue his dreams further by relocating to Canada to pursue a bachelor’s degree.

The tweet reads;

“He wrote JAMB twice with no major headway, but his folks noticed he had a flair for writing, hence his brother who’s my close pal, also a software Engineer, advised he starts hoisting the comic books he writes on this Amazon thingy, Etsy and one other one.” He has made so much money from it.

“Yes, you didn’t misread, he made $19k (N14.5 million). Two years down the line today, I got news he’s moved up to Canada for his bachelor’s and I couldn’t stop but feel happier.”
