A young Nigerian student, Samuel Chinecherem Ezeh, has set a Guinness World Record by creating a robe with 50-metre sleeves.
The 400-level student of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University told Guinness World Records that he hopes to travel the world to showcase his talent.
“That’s longer than the Statue of Liberty is high (46.5 m; 152.5 ft) and longer than an Olympic-size swimming pool (50 m; 164 ft).”
“Samuel, who works as a fashion designer and tailor while studying at university, overcame numerous challenges to complete the garment.”
He added: “I wish to take it on a tour to display it in different countries and cities to show the world what it looks like.”
As news of his achievement spread online, social media users flooded the comment section to share their thoughts.
