REUTERS/Seun SanniLAGOS, July 13 (Reuters) - A Nigerian man has completed more than 200 hours singing, another managed a 100-hour live video on Instagram, while a masseuse's bid to massage people for 75 hours ended in exhaustion. The three are among more than a dozen Nigerians aiming to set Guinness World Records in the latest craze to hit Africa's most populous nation. Then Lagos-based gospel singer Oluwatobi Kufeji took to singing for 200 hours to help boost his career. Still, she managed 50 hours and said that would be enough to make the record book.

The recording features Rivers State governor Nysesom Wike and former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose. They are overheard discussing an incident at a vote collation centre in Rivers State (here). It was uploaded to Sahara TV on Dec. 29, 2016, in relation to violence during a Rivers State election re-run (here). The audio is at least seven years old and is unrelated to the 2023 Nigerian presidential election.
