Nigerian man, Tonye Solomon, has achieved an extraordinary Guinness World Record by showcasing his incredible ladder football skills.
He recently secured the title by climbing an impressive 150 steps while expertly balancing a football on his head atop a towering 250-foot (76-meter) radio mast.
He dedicated two months to rigorous training, utilizing all his available free time to practice until he felt confident in his abilities.
During the record-setting attempt, Tonye exhibited remarkable composure during the steep ascent, completing the climb in a mere 12 and a half minutes.
Fish Jombo, a radio presenter who witnessed the event along with a large crowd, expressed astonishment, stating, “I was astonished because it’s never been done by anyone before.”
Upon reaching the pinnacle of the 150-step climb, Tonye jubilantly threw the football down and celebrated with a triumphant fist pump.
