Man Goes ‘Temporarily Blind’ Attempting To Cry For 7 Days To Obtain Guinness World Record

Nigeria has been gripped by the Guinness World Record mania, with people going to extreme lengths to claim a record.

From cooking for over 100 hours to crying non-stop for seven days, Nigerians are obsessed with setting world records.

But now, Guinea-born influencer Tembu Ebere added himself to the mix of things to break a record by crying non-stop for seven days, but unfortunately, he went “temporarily blind” during the attempt.

Despite his setback, he says he was crying for African youths to show them that there is no limit to what they can achieve. And while some people view this trend as a passing craze, others are using their attempts to promote causes such as reading culture.

The record frenzy erupted in May when a chef called Hilda Baci attempted to cook continuously for 100 hours to “put Nigerian cuisine on the map”.

Her attempt was so widely followed that it caused the official website guinnessworldrecords.com to crash for two days. She was cheered on by celebrities and Nigeria’s vice president.

The 26 year-old managed 93 hours 11 minutes, which was enough to break the previous cooking marathon record set in India in 2019. Her success inspired a wave of similar attempts for activities including the longest time spent singing, praying, and even kissing.
