Guinness World Records (GWR) contender, Atinga Nsobila Joel recently addressed rumors about his submission for the “Longest barbecue marathon” record. In a Facebook post, he shared a screenshot of an email from Guinness World Records (GWR), confirming that his evidence had been received and was under assessment.
Atinga assured his fans and followers to disregard any claims that he had not submitted the necessary evidence. He stated, “Hello Ghanaians, this shows that myself and my team have successfully submitted evidence to @GWR so kindly disregard any claims that we have not submitted any evidence.”
The email from GWR acknowledged the receipt of his submission and detailed the next steps in the verification process. A Records Manager will thoroughly evaluate his documentation. Upon successful verification, Atinga expects to receive an official confirmation and a Record Holder Certificate. If additional information is required or if the attempt does not meet approval criteria, GWR will continue to communicate with Atinga via email.
Atinga’s response comes amid public scrutiny over recent GWR attempts by Ghanaians, particularly following the controversy surrounding Chef Smith’s unverified claim of holding the record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
As the CEO of God’s Time Kebab, Atinga embarked on his record attempt by grilling 10,000 sticks of kebab over 90 hours. The event, held from April 11 to April 14, 2024, during Eid-ul-Fitr, aimed to surpass the current 80-hour record held by Jan Greeff (USA & South Africa).
