The Guinness World Record has distanced itself from a Nigerian man who went partially blind for attempting to set a new record of the longest crying marathon by an individual.
Tembu Ebere, attempted to break a Guinness World Record of crying for seven days non-stop.
Recall that Politics Nigeria had earlier reported that Ebere, claimed that he went partially blind for 45-minutes while attempting the challenge.
Ebere said he had to reevaluate his approach and reduce the intensity of his wailing as it was causing him headaches.
Reacting, Guinness World Records stated that they did not approve it and would never be able to monitor such record.
“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,” the body wrote.
