16-year-old Nigerian mechanic apprentice shatters 5 Guinness World Records

After Hilda Baci’s impressive 100-hour cooking marathon, the spotlight shifted to a remarkable Nigerian teenager named Vincent Okezie, who had captured five Guinness World Records.

This story gained traction when Lucky Udu, a popular Nigerian content creator, shared photos of Vincent on Facebook and shed light on his current situation, revealing that despite his extraordinary achievements, his life had not improved significantly.

Currently working as a mechanic apprentice, Vincent continues to pursue his passion for football alongside his records.

To verify the claims, Joseph Omotayo from Legit.ng contacted Vincent’s manager and coach, Chukwuebuka Ezugha, who confirmed the young prodigy’s accomplishments.

Chukwuebuka stated, “Vincent truly holds five records and supports himself by working as a mechanic and playing football after school.”

Now, let’s explore the five Guinness World Records Vincent Okezie has shattered:

1. Most consecutive backward handsprings with a football held between the legs.
2. Most consecutive passes of a football between the head and soles while maintaining balance on someone’s back (129 passes).
3. Most over-and-under passes of a football (soccer ball) with feet touching within one minute (team of two).
4. Most transfers of footballs (soccer balls) spun on the finger within 30 seconds (team of two).
5. Most football (soccer) ‘around the world’ tricks with arms linked (team of two), achieved by Victor Richard Kipo and Vincent Okezie.

Regarding one of his records, Guinness stated, “The most consecutive passes of a football (soccer ball) between the head and soles while maintaining balance on someone’s back is 129, accomplished by Chukwuebuka Ezugha, Victor Richard Kipo, and Vincent Okezie (all from Nigeria) in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom, Nigeria, on March 11, 2022.”

With these outstanding achievements, Vincent Okezie’s story has captured the attention of people, emphasizing the determination and talent of this young Nigerian sensation.
