22-year-old Nigerian content creator and food consultant Munachimso Brian Nwana has achieved the world record for the most fast food restaurants visited in 24 hours.
Brian visited 150 different establishments, surpassing the previous record of 100 set last year by American YouTuber Airrack. Prior to that, the record was held by TikTok stars Nick DiGiovanni and the late Lynn “Lynja” Davis.
Both of those record attempts occurred in New York City, whereas Brian’s took place in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
The Guinness World Record shared the news on their official social media pages.
No private transportation is allowed when attempting this record, and with the city’s limited public transit options, Brian completed the entire route on foot.
He walked more than 25 km, starting at Chicken Republic in the Gwarinpa residential area and ending at the Kilimanjaro fast food chain in the city center.
He chose 5 p.m. as his start and end time, taking a nine-hour break from midnight to 9 a.m. to sleep.
To successfully achieve the record, at least one food or drink item must be purchased and consumed at each restaurant, with the requirement that at least 75% of the orders are food.
Brian says he ate “probably enough to last a week” and made an effort to taste something – even if just a mouthful – from the majority of places he visited. The remaining food was all consumed by his team and members of the public.
He undertook this challenge to promote Abuja’s restaurants and showcase Nigerian cuisine.
Although he ate a variety of foods including shawarma, pizza, fried chicken and burgers, his favourite meals were Nigerian delicacies such as moin moin (bean pudding) and àmàlà (a dough-like swallow food).
