Unfortunately, Ebere went “partially blind” for 45 minutes during his attempt. he also suffered swollen face and puffed eyes.
The comedian added that he had to “restrategise and reduce my wailing”.
“I had headaches, a swollen face, went partially blind for 45 minutes and had puffed eyes,” he told BBC.
“I had to re-strategise and reduce my wailing.”
Taking to the insta-stories section of his official Instagram page, he wrote; “It’s not been easy. Was really blind for hours. God saved me. But we must reach 100hrs”.
Reacting to this, Guinness World Records via its official Twitter handle said they will never monitor a record for longest marathon crying.
“Just to quell some recent rumours, we wouldn’t ever monitor a record for the longest marathon crying. Here’s what can be monitored by our team ????.”

kim556231: Only a dysfunctional country turns everything to a joke. The leaders have failed them so they become irritated with decency.
