Regarding the endeavor, Fasipe stated that he is trying to break the record in order to demonstrate “talent, endurance, and perseverance.”
Jeremaiah Abiola Fasipe, a Nigerian student studying in the UK, is trying to shatter the record for the longest ironing in history.
Fasipe declared that the 155-hour attempt will start on July 1st, 2024, and go through July 6th.
The drill will take place in Sheffield at 350 Petre Street. Guinness World Records (GWR) has given its approval to the exercise, according to Fasipe.
Regarding the endeavor, Fasipe stated that he is trying to break the record in order to demonstrate “talent, endurance, and perseverance.”
In addition, he expressed his desire to encourage young people to pursue their dreams and go above and beyond in their chosen fields of endeavor.
“I am thrilled to announce my desire to break the GWR for the Longest Ironing Marathon. There is no doubt that this record-breaking event will be spectacular, demonstrating endurance, talent, and perseverance.
“I am motivated not just by the challenge itself, but also by the potential benefits and encouragement it could provide for Nigerians and youth in general,” he said.
Fasipe said breaking the record would inspire countless young Nigerians to pursue their dreams, no matter how ambitious they might seem.
Fasipe recalls his challenging journey in the world of fashion designing back in 2018 in Kirikiri town, Lagos. “I remember when I was learning to make clothes, I was responsible for ironing all the customers’ clothes at my apprenticeship site. I developed my passion for ironing here.”
Fasipe, who is a former president of Sheffield Hallam University Students Union and National Union of Students delegate said he was proud of what he was able to achieve during his time as president. My achievements are source of pride for me. We set many goals during my time, and I am proud to say that I met 90 percent of them. “We improved academic support, mental health and wellbeing support, and worked together with other team members to resolve visa issues that international students faced,” he said.
Fasipe is also the pioneer of the Abiola National Development Scheme (ANDS), a foundation aimed at remembering and keeping the legacy of his late mother Mrs Fasipe. The foundation recently empowered over 100 young people to acquire free vocational skills in Lagos, Nigeria.
