August 27, (THEWILL) – The Guinness World Records (GWR) has certified Munachimso Brian Nwana, the Abuja-based food consultant, as the new record holder for the most restaurants visited in 24 hours. GWR revealed the 22-year-old visited 150 fast-food restaurants in Abuja in a day. The British reference book said the Nigerian man trekked to the restaurants since no form of private transport can be used while attempting the record. Munachimso walked over 25 km, beginning at Chicken Republic in the residential district of Gwarinpa and finishing in the city centre at the fast-food chain Kilimanjaro. The record was set last year by American YouTuber Eric Decker who visited 100 restaurants
Munachimso said his goal is to promote Abuja’s restaurants and showcase Nigerian cuisine. Also, as an Abuja-based food content creator, he works with a lot of Abuja food businesses, so he has seen how the economy has negatively affected them. His aim is to use this opportunity and attempt to promote the food businesses.
Before Decker’s record, TikTok chefs Nick DiGiovanni (USA) and Lynn Davis (Japan) held the record for the most fastfood restaurants visited in 24 hours with a total of 69. The feat was achieved in New York City, New York, on August 10, 2022.
