Adetunwase Adenle is one of such citizens. He is the only Nigerian citizen who has four Guinness World Records to his name. The teacher and artist holds records in different categories.
According to the BBC, he holds the record for the biggest painting painted by the largest number of people. This record was made with the aim of teaching less privileged kids how to paint, draw and celebrate Nigeria at 50.
His next record was for the highest number of children reading together in one place at the same time. This was done to encourage children to read.
He also holds the record for the highest number of children washing their hands at the same time. This was done to teach children how to be clean in order to escape diseases.
His fourth record is for the world’s biggest post office stamp which was also used to celebrate Lagos at 50.
Adenle has worked with the Lagos state government as well as NGO’s and other organisations to make his records happen.
He has also said he will continue to break records so as to touch people’s lives and bring better things for his country.
