She claimed Guinness World Record (GWR) approved her application to attempt the record and appealed to people for kind wishes.
Eniola said she didn’t actually apply to GWR
When quizzed on her earlier claim about applying to Guinness World Record, the Oyo indigene told Legit.ng it was a publicity stunt. In her words:
PAY ATTENTION: Сheck out news that is picked exactly for YOU ➡️ find the “Recommended for you” block on the home page and enjoy!
“I have not applied to Guinness World Record, to be sincere. It’s a publicity stunt.”
On the cost of planning her ‘agbo-a-thon’, Eniola said it would cost her N150k. The young lady also spoke about her motivation to attempt the record.
“My passion for agbo inspired it.
“My grandmother was into herbs and she started training me from age 12. I enjoyed cooking herbs due to their healing properties.”
Despite GWR decrying that they received over 1,500 applications from Nigerians, this has not discouraged people from seeking to enter the body’s prestigious book by attempting new feats.

Apart from aiming to set a world record, Daniel gave more insights into his writing quest:
“In addition to this, I am expected to write 16 books with a minimum of 25 pages each, producing two books each 24 hours during the period.
