A 16-year-old Nigerian boy, Vincent Okezie, with five certificates from Guinness World Records, has revealed that he currently works as a mechanic apprentice in Abia state.
Following Hilda Baci’s world-record-breaking cooking marathon at Amore Gardens in Lagos, Vincent’s tale started making the rounds on social media.
Vincent’s life has not improved despite breaking the world record five times.
The photos of Vincent was shared on Facebook by a popular Nigerian content creator, Lucky Udu who revealed that he confirmed from Vincent’s coach and manager, Chukwuebuka Ezugha to know if he was indeed a world record breaker before posting online.
According to Vincent, he did not get sponsorship to advance his football career, causing him to resort to life as a mechanic’s apprentice.
Here are the five records broken by Vincent:
Most consecutive backward handsprings with a football between the legs.
Most consecutive passes of a football between the head and soles while balancing on the back of a person (129 passes).
Most over and under pass of a football (soccer ball) with feet touching in one minute (team of two).
Most transfers of football (soccer balls) spun on the finger in 30 seconds (team of two).
Most football (soccer) ‘around the world’ tricks with arms linked (team of two) by Victor Richard Kipo and Vincent Okezie
