Guinness World Records has reacted to the increasing number of Nigerians aiming to break new records.
This surge in interest came after 26-year-old Nigerian chef Hilda Baci broke the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time by an individual.

One curious Nigerian, using the New Threads app, recently asked Guinness World Records if it were tired of Nigerians constantly attempting to break different records.
“Aren’t you people tired of my country?… Nigeria, we’re trying to break all records.” The user wrote, to which Guinness World Records replied, “We welcome applications from all over the globe. We can all be friends.”

Popular American actress and Nickelodeon star, Jennette McCurdy has revealed she was showered by her late mother until she turned ’17 or 18′.
The former child actress, who is now 31, claimed that she never showered alone until her late mother, Debra, started battling cancer and passed away at age 56 in 2013.

When her brother suggested showering alone, their mother reportedly broke down in tears and said she didn’t want him to ‘grow up’ so he never mentioned it again.
Three suspected kidnappers have been reportedly struck dead by lightning in Oro Ago, an agrarian community in Ifelodun local government area of Kwara State.
The Nigerian Tribune reports that the incident, which occurred three days ago, is believed to be linked to the efforts of a local vigilance group in the Igbomina Kwara axis, focused on addressing security challenges in the area.

A Badagry Chief Magistrates’ Court A mild drama unfolded in Badagry court on Wednesday when the complainant, James Bassey, broke down in tears to beg for leniency for Puis Savoir, a dry cleaner who had been given a one-month term for stealing a pressing iron and N20,000.
Following Savior’s admission of guilt and the presentation of the evidence, Chief Magistrate Patrick Adekomaiya found him guilty.
Ikem Uko, the prosecution, stated to the court that the offense was committed on July 6 at around 7:00 p.m. at Yeponnawa Str. Church-Gate, Lagos, by the defendant.
Uko claims that the accused took a pressing iron and N20,000 from the complainant, Mr. Bassey. He said that the offense was against Section 287 of the Lagos Criminal Law from 2015.
The Chief Magistrate ruled that the court would be lenient because this was a first-time offender. As a result, Savior was given a one-month jail term, with seven days spent behind bars and the remaining three weeks spent performing community service at the Morogbo Police Station.
Mr. Bassey sobbed profusely and begged that the offender be pardoned immediately after the sentence was pronounced.
“My Lord, I don’t have a wife or children; it is this convict that always takes care of me. He used to help me do all my domestic work and massage me, but the habit of stealing my things is too much, that is why I reported him when he stole my money and pressing iron. If you sentence him to prison now, nobody will be assisting me, and this could lead to my death,” he said.

Nollywood actress, Esther Nwachukwu, has shared her thoughts on reports that actor Yul Edochie’s first wife, May, has filed for divorce from him.
You will recall that May Edochie, who has been at odds with her husband of 18 years since he took a second wife in April 2022, is reported to have initiated divorce proceedings.
It is also alleged that, pending the finalization of the divorce, the court has granted May Edochie full custody of their three children and their mansion.
In response to this news, Esther Nwachukwu posted a video online where she criticized those who support May in divorcing her husband.
According to her, Yul Edochie did nothing wrong in marrying a second wife, and it is not enough reason for May to end their 18-year marriage.
She questioned who would be willing to marry a woman after four children.
Esther Nwachukwu also pointed out that while the court may have granted May full custody of their children, the Igbo tradition might not favor her, as Yul’s presence will always be required for important events in their children’s lives.
“All of you encouraging May to divorce her husband, I just dey laugh… husband no dey street, you guys are supporting her now but time will come…” She said in part.

Jacob Olalekan Ponle, popularly known as Mr Woodberry, has been sentenced to eight years and three months in prison for organizing a multimillion-dollar fraud.
The convict, who is a well-known associate of imprisoned Nigerian fraudster Hushpuppi, was sentenced on July 11 in Chicago by Judge Robert Gettleman of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois after being convicted on one count of fraud.
It was gathered that seven other counts were dropped as part of a plea agreement in April. Mr. Woodberry is now expected to surrender to the United States Marshals Service for transfer to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, where his family members, particularly his American fiancée, will be permitted to visit him.
Mr. Woodberry, who will be deported after serving his prison sentence, will pay $8 million in restitution to seven victims. This comes after the court discovered that he is financially capable of making the payment in full, without interest.
Prosecutors, who learned he had 152 bitcoins, asked the court for permission to sell them and a 30-day notice was provided to the public for anyone with a legitimate interest in the assets to register claims, but no one showed up at the time of his sentencing.
He is expected to forfeit his assets in Dubai police custody, including a Rolls-Royce, a Lamborghini Urus, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG G55, four Rolex watches, one Patek Philippe watch, and three Audemars Piguet watches.
Mr. Woodberry will also hand over 3 gold and diamond-studded rings, 5 gold bracelets and 2 gold bracelet keys, 6 gold neck chains, 1 gold and diamond-studded necklace, 1 small gold nugget, 2 bank cards, about $1,835 in Emirati dirhams, and approximately $15.45 in South African rands.

A Nigerian pastor, Femi Aribisala, has reacted after his son’s babymama, identified simply as Imoteda, called him out for allegedly being a deadbeat father.
Imoteda had taken to Twitter to express her displeasure in her babydaddy, Femi (Jnr), for allegedly failing to play his fatherly role.
She said this in response to a viral tweet warning single women not to use their babydaddy’s surname on their children’s documents because they will require his approval for everything.
She posted screenshots of her chat with her baby-daddy, in which she begged him to be present in their daughter’s life but he failed to respond.
Just recently on May 8, 2023, she asked for a picture of his passport so their daughter’s visa could be renewed, but he also ignored it.
She wrote,
“PLEASE O! So that you will not be begging one useless deadbeat. Cause money they will not drop, visit the child, they will not visit, respond to WhatsApp they will not respond. But Nigerian immigration will be telling you that you have to bring a useless man’s passport.”
“Anyways, if you know Femi Aribisala please beg him to try and be a father small. And to stop lying that I moved his daughter without his knowledge and I don’t keep him updated. Here I am begging somebody’s father to pretend to be a father. I don beg tire,”she added.
See her tweets and screenshots of her chat with her baby daddy below,
However, Femi (Jnr) failed to react to the allegations and did not say anything for several hours after she called him out. His father, on the other hand, went online to respond to Imoteda in a statement released on Tuesday, July 11.
Read his full statement below,
“I am Dr. Femi Aribisala, the “old man” of Femi Aribisala, and the grandfather of Rayne. I have asked Femi not to respond to all these comments that Tomi Aladekomo, alias “@Imoteda”, has been posting here on Twitter. I, myself, will only respond once.
I have no time to join issues with Tomi Aladekomo (@lmoteda). Those who want to believe Tomi’s (@lmoteda’s) stories are welcome. They should know, however, that Tomi’s posts on social media are not the whole truth.
Rayne is not an abandoned child. Femi has paid virtually all of Rayne’s fees for 15 years. She went to expensive schools. Rayne lived with Tomi but stayed with Femi every other week. We all took Rayne out to lunch every other Sunday. On occasions, I personally took her shopping and bought her lots of different outfits. She stayed primarily with her mother but spent some weekends with her father.
Tomi’s father is also wealthy, so. I am quite suite surprised she is giving the impression here of a destitute ab@ndoned mother.
A while ago, Tomi suddenly decided she was moving permanently with Rayne to Canada to take advantage of her citizenship, house, and free schooling for Rayne. She gave the impression that, with her rich pedigree, she no longer needed our financial contribution for Rayne’s upkeep.
I don’t know what happened, but suddenly we are made to understand that Tomi has brought Rayne back to Nigeria.
Tomi did not tell us about this. It was just randomly discovered that Rayne is in Nigeria again and is enrolled in a different school without Femi’s knowledge.
In addition, it is worth stating that Tomi and Femi have only one child together. They are not married, and it was Tomi who broke off the relationship with Femi 15 years ago. He did not break it off with her.
Tomi, as you know, my door is always open for you. If you were genuinely interested in Rayne’s welfare, and you could not reach Femi, the ideal thing to do is to get in touch with me or my wife. Both families have a cordial relationship, so it is sad to see that you chose to resort to all this unnecessary mudslinging on social media. For the sake of our granddaughter, I would suggest that you both find a better way to resolve this issue.
If necessary, we should arrange for more formal arbitration where there would be a mediator present. We and your parents are on the best of terms, so it is good to also involve them. We would also like to see our granddaughter, Rayne; we have not seen her for a while.”
Massive congratulations are in order for a young Nigerian lady, Udeh Chiamaka Victory, as she emerges best-graduating student from a Russian university.

Eve Tilley-Coulson, a US Attorney who has been single for five years, is offering $5,000 reward to anyone who finds her a husband.
The 35-year-old corporate litigation attorney based in Los Angeles, extended this enticing offer on social media because she is tired of being single.
She revealed in an interview with The Post that she initially made the offer to her close friends, stating that she would pay them $5,000 if they successfully introduced her to her future spouse.
However, she has decided to widen the scope of her offer, making it available to anyone who can help in finding her a husband.
“A while ago, I told my friends I’d pay them $5,000 if they introduce me to my husband,” she said.
“If you introduce me to my husband, and I marry him, I will give you $5,000,” she said in a Tiktok video.
Speaking to The Post, she said, “I’ve been single for about five years now, meeting people in person and on the apps. But since COVID, there’s been a weird shift in dating culture — guys don’t approach you in person, and most of the men on apps aren’t swiping to seriously date.
“So I feel like paying $5,000 for a husband who’s vouched for, meets my needs and is ready for a real relationship is totally worth it,” said Tilley-Coulson with a laugh.
She also explained that she will make the payment once the marriage is official.
“You get [the $5,000] as soon as the marriage certificate is signed,” said Tilley-Coulson in a subsequent TikTok video featuring her no-nonsense friend Lara Bahr.
“He has to be eligible,” added Bahr, a lawyer. “That means he cannot be already married,” she continued. “This can’t be his second wife.”

Today 8th of July I was supposed to officially be called a Mrs.
Friends blamed me for leaving and ending things with a wealthy ma instead of enduring. But I wasn’t interested in what he had to offer physically because the emotional pain got the better part.
I stopped focusing on my brand and almost had to shut it down. Its been 3 months, I’m fine now, (I guess)”
Media personality, Daddy Freeze, has reacted to the post by Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo criticizing the frequency with which prospective partners connect and begin having sex right away.
According to Kingsley Okonkwo, young people have fouled up the order of events in relationships by starting to have sex before getting to know one another or defining their relationships.
He argued that the appropriate partner should be found first, spoken to, known well enough, have a defined relationship, married, and then have lots of sex with.
He wrote;
“Meet a fine boy/girl , start talking, start talking alot , start having sex , then know each other better & check if you want to define the relationship
This generation is something else , they have the order all messed up , undefined relationship has been normalised
Guys a more reasonable order is -meet, talk, get to know each other , define relationship, marry and then alot of sex”

In the comment section, a Facebook user, Clara Chinyere Oguibe, wrote, “This is just a cover-up, a make-believe for people to believe he’s happy while he is full of regrets.”

Ivanna Bay, the French lady who claims to be carrying popular singer Davido’s child, has shared an update about the status of her pregnancy.
It will be recalled that Ivanna caused a huge stir after she revealed that she is pregnant for the married singer, and also showcased her pregnancy test strip.
Few days after sharing the surprising news, the France-based lady travelled to Portugal to watch Davido’s performance at the Afro Nation in Portugal. She shared photos and videos of her trip to the European country.
Shortly after the concert, Ivanna took to social media to reveal that she woke up with an excruciating pain in her stomach and had to rush to the emergency room (ER). This generated miscarriage rumours online, with many believing she had miscarried.
In a more recent and devastating update, the young lady has revealed that she is in a fatal medical condition and that she either has an ectopic pregnancy or has miscarried the baby.
She also took a swipe at those who chastised her for making her purported pregnancy public, saying she hopes they are happy now.
Ivanna wrote on her Instastory today, July 11,
“Here’s your update …
Bc you won’t see me coming crying on the internet no way!
They told me that I am either doing a ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage.
My body is failing me and there’s nothing I can do.
I hope those who wish me hell are happy now
… You won!”
Reality TV star, Victoria Abiri Oluwabusayo, better known as Khloe, has fired back at a man who claimed she is being bankrolled by men.
The troll made the accusation on Snapchat and slammed Khloe for allegedly pretending she is not being funded by ‘men’.
“Oga shut up and quit acting like it’s not men” not even a man! Bankrolling you! All dis delusional girls Lol”, the man wrote.
This message apparently infuriated Khloe and she lashed out at the troll for claiming her lifestyle is being funded by different men.
According to her, if she is indeed being bankrolled by men, she would be living large and flying private jets as against her current lifestyle.
She further added that the troll believes she relies on men because his mother most likely sleeps with men for money, so he believes all women are the same.
Read her response below,
“If a man is doing things for Me, he is nothing more than a small boy. Because if a man is financially supporting me, I will only travel in private jets. Don’t be foolish! I am not one of your unmotivated mentors or an influencer. I own businesses.
TripleC mother got to sell pussy to raise him so I can’t blame you. Let your mama get a real job ok”
