Babajide Isreal Adebanjo: Nigerian man twerks for 3 hours for GWR title
A Nigerian man called Babajide Isreal Adebanjo has achieved Guinness World Records (GWR) glory.
Adebanjo went on an unusual adventure twerking for close to four hours during the New Year (January 14, 2024). He performed in Lagos, Nigeria.
According to an official statement on the GWR website, Adebanjo twerked, primarily "to get out of his comfort zone" and secondarily "to raise awareness for anyone suffering from depression all around the world".

The message of Adebanjo's 3 hour 30 minute twerking was "no record is too crazy, too big, too great or too little to achieve. There is always space for everyone and their unique attributes".

Twerking is a sexually suggestive dance mostly done by women, involving assuming a squatting posture, hip thrusting and wiggling of butt-cheeks.
The previous GWR title holder was Austria's Elena Sofie Sterlini (2 hours 1 minute, January 2021).
