A Nigerian youth and record holder, Saidu Abdulrahaman from Yobe State, is preparing to attempt a new Guinness World Record for the “Most Self-Portrait Photographs (Selfies) Taken in Three Minutes.”
The current record of 184 selfies in three minutes is held by Indian Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar.
Abdulrahaman has set his sights on surpassing that mark with a target of 200 selfies within the same time frame, describing the attempt as both a personal milestone and a platform to showcase the creativity and resilience of young Nigerians.
He said the initiative is aimed at projecting Northern Nigerian youths and Nigerians in general on the global stage through innovation and determination.
The record attempt is scheduled to take place at Eagle Square, Abuja, with organisers expected to announce the official date and time in due course. The event is expected to attract spectators, media representatives, government officials, and corporate supporters.
Abdulrahaman is not new to record-breaking feats. He previously set a record for the Most Headshot Photographs Taken in One Hour, achieving 897 photographs within 60 minutes, an achievement that earned him public recognition.
He has called on corporate organisations, sponsors, and well-wishers to support the attempt, saying it represents an opportunity to place Nigeria in a positive global spotlight.
Abdulrahaman expressed confidence that, with preparation and support, he is ready to bring another world record to Nigeria.
