Nigerian man shatters Guinness World Record for most fast-food restaurants visited in 24 hours

A 22-year-old content creator and food consultant, Munachimso Brian Nwana has set a world record for the most fast-food restaurants visited in 24 hours.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Guinness World Records (GWR) confirmed Nwana’s achievement, which involved visiting 150 fast-food establishments.

An American YouTuber, Airrack previously held the record.

Nwana’s accomplishment is remarkable because he completed the entire 25 km route on foot, starting at Chicken Republic in Gwarinpa and ending at Kilimanjaro, taking a nine-hour break between midnight and 9 a.m. to sleep.

The 22-year-old at 5:00 p.m. on April 24 concluded the challenge 24 hours later despite the guideline that contestants cannot use public transportation.

Reflecting on the experience, Nwana said: “New York has clusters of restaurants and adequate public transport systems, so doing this in Abuja was much more daunting and challenging.”

Although he ate a range of cuisines like shawarma, pizza, fried chicken, and burgers, his favourite meals were Nigerian delicacies like moin moin (bean pudding) and àmàlà.

Brian ate a lot of food, “probably enough to last a week,” he said. He tried to sample something—even if only a mouthful—from all the places he visited.

The remaining food was devoured entirely by his crew and members of the public since waste isn’t allowed.

Brain’s motivation for breaking this record was to showcase the variety of Nigerian cuisines. He said, “I would like to encourage people from around the world to come and explore the Nigerian food space.”

He hinted at future plans, saying “We are not stopping here; we are going to be having a food tour across the different states in Nigeria,” said Nwana.
