Recently, popular Kumawood actor Yaw Dabo called on Ghanaians to show him their unwavering support as he prepares to embark on a new world record for the longest kissing marathon. He stated that his kissing marathon will set a new Guinness World Record, as he is set to engage in non-stop kissing for a remarkable 30 days, equivalent to a staggering 720 hours.
Currently, Chef Failatu Abdul Razak is aiming to cook for 120 hours or more and has entered the 5th day clocking over 106 hours in an attempt to break the current Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon.
The current record is held by Alan Fisher from Ireland, who cooked for 119 hours and 57 minutes in 2023 after beating Nigerian Chef Hilda Baci’s 93-hour cook-a-thon record.
The event is currently taking place at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale. Chef Faila began her attempt on January 1, 2024, and is still going strong.
Before that was Afua Asantewa, who just completed her attempt at a Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon.
Other Ghanaians have also announced their plans to attempt various records, such as the longest speech marathon, the most lipstick applications in 30 seconds, and the longest reading-aloud marathon.
Their announcements have attracted the attention and support of many social media users.
