Tonye Solomon, a Nigerian man, has achieved a remarkable Guinness World Record by demonstrating his exceptional skills in ladder football.
He recently earned the title for climbing 150 steps while skillfully 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.
