New Contenders on the Horizon

But the excitement doesn't end there. Several Ghanaians have stepped up with their ambitious plans to set new Guinness World Records, adding to the growing anticipation and amusement on social media. Here's a brief rundown of these upcoming attempts:

1. Delay's Kiss-A-Thon

Joining this wave of record-breaking endeavors is none other than entrepreneur and television show host Deloris Frimpong Manso, popularly known as Delay. In a light-hearted post on her Twitter handle, Delay humorously expressed her desire to undertake a kissing marathon — a "kiss-a-thon" — and called upon her fans to nominate a suitable partner for this entertaining endeavor. The post sparked funny reactions from her fans, who playfully suggested potential candidates for this unique undertaking. Her tweet added an extra element of humor and enthusiasm to the ongoing record-breaking efforts in Ghana.

2. Dela Gomey: This Ghanaian nurse and makeup artist is gearing up to take on the Guinness World Record for the most lipstick applications in 30 seconds. Dela plans to apply lipstick on five models within the designated time frame, aiming to surpass the current record of four applications held by Chinese makeup artist Li Jiaqi. The event is scheduled to take place on January 6, 2024, at the Efa Guest House in Dodowa, Greater Accra Region, promising an exciting spectacle for all involved.

3. Isaac Amoako: A Ghanaian graduate and passionate reader, Isaac Amoako is preparing to challenge the Guinness World Record for the longest reading-aloud marathon. His ambitious goal involves reading aloud for an astonishing six days, totaling between 145 to 150 hours without a break. This endeavor showcases his dedication and determination to push the boundaries of what is possible.

4. Adu Safowaa: This Ghanaian actress and media personality has decided to take on the Guinness World Record for the longest speech marathon by an individual. Confident in her ability, she has shared her intention to speak for more than 90 hours, challenging the current record held by an individual from Nepal. Her official approval from Guinness World Records and her declaration on social media with the hashtag #ADUSAFOWAAH_SPEECH_A_THON have generated considerable anticipation among her supporters and the general public.

While these forthcoming attempts are generating significant excitement and intrigue, it's worth noting that other announcements have surfaced, albeit yet to be confirmed. As such, these new potential endeavors should be taken with a pinch of salt until further details emerge. The growing interest and participation in record-breaking attempts show the widespread enthusiasm among Ghanaians to leave their mark on the global stage, creating an atmosphere of excitement and support across social media platforms.
