Masseur Ijeoma’s Collapsed Guinness World Record Attempt Raises Questions about Preparedness and Trivialization of Achievements in Nigeria
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The recent incident involving Nigerian masseur Joyce Ijeoma has sparked concerns about her well-being among many observers. According to reports, she suffered a collapse after reaching the 50-hour mark during her attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest massage on different people, which she began on July 1, 2023, in Lagos State.

While Ijeoma aims to surpass Alastair Galpin’s record set in 2015, there has been no official confirmation from the Guinness World Records organization yet.

It’s worth noting that Ijeoma had livestreamed her entire process on Instagram, allowing viewers to witness her attempt firsthand. However, the endeavor did not go as planned, as she seemingly fainted with 22 hours remaining.

This incident has led many to question her level of preparation for the event, especially when compared to the achievements of Nigerian chef Hilda Baci. Baci, who successfully broke the record for the longest cooking marathon, underwent extensive trials and endurance training as part of her preparation. This stark contrast in approach raises doubts about the readiness of participants in Nigerian record-breaking attempts.

Furthermore, it is disconcerting to observe the tendency to trivialize record-breaking in Nigeria. Even before Baci’s record was officially confirmed by the Guinness World Records, rumors began circulating about other individuals attempting to break it. One such attempt by an Ekiti Chef was marred by inappropriate conditions, inadequate tools, and a lack of originality. It later emerged that this chef had not even registered with the Guinness World Records and was soliciting funds from Nigerians for another cookathon.

While competition is healthy and encouraged, it is essential for participants to compete in a manner that is both respectful and noteworthy. The sky may be vast enough for all birds to fly, but true competition lies in performing well and making a significant impact.
