A young Nigerian, Tonye Solomon, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, has set another Guinness World
Record.
Mr Solomon, on 10 August, set the record for the most steps (150) climbed on a ladder while balancing a football (soccer ball) on the head, according to the Guinness World Records.
“Tonye attempted this record to challenge himself and to inspire others to do great things. He spent two months training for the attempt until he was confident he could achieve the record,” the global body stated on its website.
The Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, congratulated Mr Solomon for the “feat”.
“Such a great feat is inspiring, and it’s worth celebrating. We are proud of you Champ!” Mr Ewhrudjakpo said on Twitter, on Thursday.
