Nigerian Sets New World Record

The Guinness World Records has announced Nigerian, Tonye Solomon, as the new record holder for the most steps climbed on a ladder while balancing a football on the head.

Solomon achieved this feat by climbing a whopping 150 ladder steps.

A post on the organizations’ X account read “New record: Most steps climbed on a ladder while balancing a football on the head – 150 by Tonye Solomon (Nigeria),”

GWR reports that after Solomon completed a 60 km journey from Amassoma to Yenagoa with a football on his head, some people doubted his story.

To prove them wrong, Tonye set a Guinness World Record title by climbing 150 steps on a ladder with a football on his head.

However, he successfully achieved this impressive feat last month by climbing a 250-foot tall radio mast while keeping control of the ball on his head.

Solomon said he spent two months training for it, using all his free time to practice with the desire to set this record as a challenge to himself and an inspiration to others to do great things.

Tonye, who appeared unaffected by the steep climb, finished it in just 12.5 minutes.
