All roads lead to Eric Kayser Restaurant, Bishop Aboyade Cole Str., Bendel Close, Victoria Island, Lagos this weekend as another Nigerian plans to break Guinness World Records.

 

Akinsowon Faderera Edwin, an accountant and a chef, will be making an attempt to become the world record holder in Grill-A-Thon Berbeque for 82 hours.

An indigene of Ondo State, the parents are retired civil servants in the Sunshine State.

When successful, he will put the 48-year-old state on the world map.

Akinsowon is a passionate griller and aspiring world champion, with a background in accounting and a deep love for the culinary arts. His journey from an arts student to a record-breaking hopeful is a story of perseverance and unwavering belief in the power of dreams.

 

With a burning passion and an unyielding spirit, Faderera, an accountant-turned-restaurant staff, is set to embark on a remarkable journey to break the Guinness World Record for the longest barbecue marathon.

Drawing from his diverse background and motivated by a deep-seated belief in achieving the extraordinary, he aims to grill for over 82 hours, surpassing the current record of 80 hours.

 

Inspiration and Motivation

 

When asked about the inspiration behind this ambitious attempt, he shared, “Motivation is an inner drive that pushes you beyond expectations. I’ve always believed that nothing is impossible. Though I was an arts student in secondary school and later studied accounting in higher education, I found my true calling in the restaurant business. Learning to grill from my grandfather in Ondo town ignited my passion for barbecue.”

 

Preparation and Planning

 

His journey towards this record-breaking attempt began two years ago. “From childhood, I envisioned myself as a world champion. Working in a restaurant solidified my dream of achieving greatness through grilling,” he explained.

To ensure his success, he enlisted the help of an expert trainer last year, who dedicated a month to honing his grilling skills.

 

However, the path has not been without challenges. “Financial constraints and a demanding work ethic have been significant hurdles,” he admitted. “But my determination to succeed keeps me going.”

 

Details of the Attempt

 

According to him, to break the record, I must grill for over 81 hours in a public area, adhering to specific guidelines set by Guinness World Records. “I plan to grill for more than 82 hours, using only charcoal as modern grilling machines are not permitted. The event will be open to the public, and I’ll have a medical certificate to ensure the quality and safety of the food.”

Logistics and Support

 

Managing rest breaks and staying active throughout the attempt will be crucial. “Guinness allows only rest breaks, not sleeping time. I aim to remain active for the full four days,” he stated.

The Lagos State government is providing emergency services to ensure safety, and all foods prepared will undergo government approval to maintain high standards.

 

Personal Experience and Impact

 

Staying motivated during such a demanding task requires strong personal support. “My mother has always motivated me. Her encouragement keeps me focused, and I want to make her proud,” he shared. Professionally, he hopes to establish a global presence in the grilling business and inspire others through his journey.

 

Community Response and Future Plans

 

Despite the lack of widespread support, he remains hopeful. “It’s challenging to get support, but I’m determined. If successful, I plan to build a grilling empire alongside my comedy ministry,” he revealed.

He also intends to share his experience and techniques with others, drawing on his teaching background from his institution days.

 

Celebration and Advice

 

When asked about celebrating the record-breaking achievement, he smiled and said, “Let the day come first, and you’ll see.” His advice to aspiring record-breakers is simple yet profound: “Never lose hope. Start planning and believe in your dreams. Even when the odds are against you, your belief will make it happen.”

 

“My determination to break the Guinness World Records for the longest barbecue marathon will be a testament to my dedication, resilience and unshakable belief in my dreams. The event promises to be an inspiring showcase of skill, determination and community spirit, featuring free barbeque, free drinks, games, music and entertainment, give away and lots more.

 

“I solicit for public support, private and public company support, federal and state government support as I will be embarking on the journey starting from 1am on Saturday 15th of June till I break the record. We are inviting everybody to come and experience greatness at the venue, Beside Eric Kayser Restaurant, Bishop Aboyade Cole Str., Bendel Close Victoria Island, Lagos”.
