Una no go let these people rest? Lol.
Anyway, Guinness World Records has replied a Nigerian, Tembu Ebere who recently granted BBC an interview where he explained he went partially blind for 45 minutes during his attempt to cry for 100 hours.
Tembu later quit, but his almost lost of sight got many talking, which has now included a RESPONSE from Guinness World Records.
In replying Tembu, they also EDUCATED Nigerians who still intend to break one record or the other.
GWR’s response suggested Tembu would have CRIED IN VAIN, as they do not monitor such.
To stop the back and forth waste of time and resources, GWR finally left a link for Nigerians on their Do’s and Don’ts and captioned it;
”Just to quell some recent rumours, we wouldn’t ever monitor a record for the longest marathon crying.
Here’s what can be monitored by our team”.
Read what’s in the LINK below;
Each record title must fulfil all of the following criteria. They must be:
Measurable – Can it be measured objectively? What is the unit of measurement? We do not accept applications based on subjective variables. For example – beauty, kindness, loyalty.
Breakable – Can the record be broken? Our record titles must be open to being challenged.
Standardisable – Can the record be repeated by someone else? Is it possible to create a set of parameters and conditions that all challengers can follow?
Verifiable – Can the claim be proven? Will there be accurate evidence available to prove it occurred?
Based on one variable – Is the record based on one superlative and measured in one unit of measurement?
The best in the world – Has anyone else done better? If your record suggestion is new then Guinness World Records will set a challenging minimum requirement for you to beat.
We assess all new record titles against our values of integrity, respect, inclusiveness and passion. As such, we have a number of internal policies that all records must adhere to. For example we do not endorse:
Unsuitable activities or those which could cause potential harm or danger to spectators.
Any records that endanger or harm animals.
Excessive eating. All of our eating records are limited to short time periods and small quantities of food, such as fastest time to eat three cream crackers.
Food wastage. We require any record relating to food to follow strict policies regarding food consumption and donation.
Any record involving the consumption of alcohol as part of drinking contests, binge drinking or speed drinking.
Illegal activities in pursuit of record breaking.
People under the age of 16 to attempt or hold records which are considered unsuitable for minors.
