An Ebonyi State indigene, Celestine Onele, has commenced a 150-hour marathon ironing since Monday, April 22, 2024, in his quest to break the Guinness World Record. Onele, an electrical engineer by profession hails from Ezza South Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
He is currently pursuing his Master's degree at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State. The young engineer told newsmen in Abakaliki, last Sunday, that he has secured approval from Guinness for the marathon ironing with rules that must be strictly adhered to for the record. Residents of Abakaliki have since been assembling their clothes for ironing at the event centre, Real Exclusive Garden, in Abakaliki, the state capital.
'Currently, I am on the verge of attempting the Guinness World Record for the longest marathon ironing in the world. If I surpass the current holder of the record, I will be the new holder for the longest marathon ironing by an individual in the world. I am an engineer but I love being inspired to do different things to put my name on the map.
