A 22-year-old Nigerian content creator, Munachimso Brian Nwana, has made history by breaking the Guinness World Record for the most fast food restaurants visited on foot within 24 hours.
Guinness World Records (GWR) announced Brian’s incredible achievement across their social media platforms. He visited an astounding 150 different fast food restaurants, surpassing the previous record of 100, set last year by American YouTuber Airrack. Before Airrack, TikTok stars Nick DiGiovanni and the late Lynn “Lynja” Davis held the title.

While previous records were set in New York City, Brian accomplished this feat in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. Reflecting on the challenge, Brian noted, “New York has clusters of restaurants and a well-developed public transportation system, so attempting this in Abuja was much more daunting and challenging.”
The rules of this record do not allow the use of private transportation, and given the limited public transport options in Abuja, Brian had to complete his entire journey on foot. According to GWR, he walked over 25 kilometers, starting in the residential district of Gwarinpa and finishing in the city center.
Brian began his journey at 5 p.m., taking a nine-hour break from midnight to 9 a.m. to rest, before resuming and completing his mission.
To meet the requirements for the record, Brian had to purchase and consume at least one food or drink item at each restaurant, with at least 75% of the orders being food. He humorously remarked that he ate “probably enough to last a week” and made an effort to taste something, even if just a mouthful, at most of the locations he visited.
The remaining food was shared among his team and members of the public, ensuring that nothing went to waste.
