<h2>Have you ever wondered how to break or set a Guinness World Record? What do you need to know or do to get your name in the prestigious record book?&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Here are the guidelines <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/lifestyle/food-travel/nigerians-in-guinness-book-of-world-records/306m8fd">for breaking the Guinness World Record</a>, according to the website.</p>

<p>Can someone else replicate the record in a standardised manner? Is it possible to establish a set of guidelines and requirements that every challenger can adhere to?</p>

<p>Can the activity be verified? There must be enough evidence and proof that it happened.</p>

<h3>You must be the best in the world</h3>
