Recently, a 19-year-old Nigerian woman named Lisah Dachor attempted to break the world record for painting the most nails in 72 hours. She painted over 4,000 nails at an events center in Plateau state, northern Nigeria. Her three-day marathon came to an end on Wednesday and now she is waiting for the Guinness World Record (GWR) to review her attempt.
Lisah has been working as a professional nail technician for almost three years and hopes that her record attempt will put Plateau, her home state, on the map. She decided to take on this challenge to change the narrative about teen mothers like herself and give them hope. She believes that Plateau is a beautiful place beyond its ethnic issues and wants to showcase its positivity to the world.
According to GWR rules, Lisah must paint 60 fingernails per hour in order for her attempt to count. She hopes that her evidence will soon be ratified by GWR so that she can officially break the world record. Despite facing challenges and conflicts in Plateau due to its ethnic issues, Lisah received support from all ethnic groups during her record attempt.
