A Nigerian lady, simply identified as Big Tresh, is attempting to set the Guinness World Record for the longest Instagram live video.
The 23-year-old lady aims to be live on Instagram for five days (125 hours) without a break in order to set the record for the longest Instagram live video.
According to her, she will be live streaming herself engaging in various activities, including cooking, playing games, and more.
Big Tresh began this attempt on Wednesday, July 5, and is currently live on her Instagram page @big_treshlyn.
While her record will be a first in this category, the closest existing record is the Guinness World Record for the longest live-stream (video) of 624 hours, 37 minutes, and 55 seconds.
This record was achieved by Zhejiang Luyuan Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. (China) in Jinhua, Zhejiang, China, from August 16 to September 11, 2022.
In other news, the Ekiti State government has prohibited the planned three-day kissing marathon aimed at setting a Guinness World Record in the state.
A group called Sugartee had advertised the event around the state and on social media, with the event set to start on July 7 at a popular amusement park in the state capital.
However, the state government, in a letter dated July 3, 2023, from the Ministry of Arts and Culture addressed to the Ekiti State Hoteliers Association, placed a ban on the scheduled kissing marathon. The letter emphasized that any facility that hosts the event would face severe sanctions.
The letter, signed by the Director of Tourism, Adebanji Adelusi, on behalf of the permanent secretary of the ministry, Dele Ogunsemoyin, expressed concerns that the planned event, called ‘Kiss-a-thon,’ had the potential to denigrate the image of the state.
