<p>This all underscores the physical and mental rigour it takes to complete a Guinness World Record.</p>

<p>This Guinness World Record attempt mania began after<a href="https://www.pulse.ng/lifestyle/food-travel/hilda-baci-finally-collects-her-guinness-world-records-certificate/499pgbs"> Hilda Baci</a> broke the world record for the longest cook-a-thon in May. She was declared a record-breaker and given her certificate in June.</p>

<p><strong>Alastair Galpin</strong> currently holds the record for the longest full-body massage at 25 hours and 4 minutes. It was held in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, in November 2015. </p>

<p>Since Ijeoma went for 50 hours, it’s possible that she has broken the World Record albeit painstakingly.</p>
