A 17-year-old senior secondary school three student (SS 3), Philip Solomon and a student of Oyemekun Grammar School, Akure in Ondo State, has been declared as the Guinness World Record holder for most skips on one foot in 30 seconds. Guinness World Record in a statement on its website stated that the most skips in 30 seconds on one foot is 153 and was achieved by Solomon in Akure, Nigeria on 24 January, 2023.

The record was officially confirmed by the Guinness World Record on Tuesday, four months after Solomon’s attempt on January 24.

“Solomon was inspired by the previous holder of this record title, Rasel Islam of Bangladesh after seeing a video of his record attempt,” Guinness World Record announced on its website.

“He has been training to achieve the record and was honoured to attend a skipping world championship.”

This is coming a few weeks after Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci was declared as the current holder of the Guinness World Record for marathon cooking after reaching 100 hours.

Nigeria’s rope skipping Guinness World Records have now increased to two following Solomon’s latest achievement.

Nigerians across the globe has acused Emdee Tiamiyu of ruffling their chances of migrating to UK for studies. Tiamiyu is a UK based Nigerian Youtuber who specialises in helping Nigerians relocate to the United Kingdom. During his interview with BBC, he disclosed that Nigerians migrating to the UK use schooling as a ploy to gain entry into the country for greener pastures.

He granted the interview in the wake of the new immigration rules that will prevent foreign students studying in the UK, from bringing their families as dependants except under certain conditions.

Under the new rule, which will take effect in January 2024, the UK will remove the permission for international students to switch out of the student route and into work routes before their studies have been completed to prevent misuse of the visa system.

Nigerians, who felt displeased with Tiamiyu’s disclosure has been berating him for ruffling the chances of those who genuinely planned to study in the UK. Tiamiyu has since apologized.

UK woman Blade Silvano allegedly tricked a female lover into thinking that she was a man for two years, even during sexual intercourse!

“He was using sex toys on me; it was not allowed the other way around.” Her partner alleged.

Sivano’s victim reported to friends that her lover who she knew as Blade Mendez prohibited her from touching him because he was “insecure,” the court was told.

According to one witness, the un-named lover said that Blade never took his top off when they were together.

“She said she had not seen Blade’s penis as he would never have the light on when they had sex.” The witness added.

Cambridge Crown Court was also told that Silvano used an “unknown object” to penetrate the woman twice. He also allegedly kept the partner blindfolded in the bedroom and prevented her from touching her underneath her clothes.

The duo met on dating site Plenty of Fish in late 2016, after Silvano updated her status on a dating site as a ‘man looking for a woman’. They later met in person in December of the same year.

They eventually decided to get married, but their wedding was postponed due to the defendant’s supposed ‘illness’. Two years later, the complainant claimed she discovered Silvano’s true identity on Facebook in September 2018.

Silvano vehemently denies two counts of assault by penetration, claiming she had only met her accuser online, never in person. The trial is expected to last five days.
