Tonye Solomon, a Nigerian man, has achieved a remarkable Guinness World Record by demonstrating his exceptional skills in ladder football.
He recently earned the title for climbing 150 steps while skillfully balancing a football on his head atop a towering 250-foot (76-meter) radio mast.
He dedicated two months to rigorous training, utilizing all his available free time to practice until he felt confident in his abilities.
