A Nigerian pedicurist, Olusanya Samuel, known as Sam Pedicures, is set to attempt a Guinness World Record for the longest pedicure marathon by an individual.
The Anatomy graduate from FUOYE, Samuel is scheduled to undertake the 48-hour marathon from October 29 to 31, 2026, at Njay Beauty Spa & Salon, located in Akure, Ondo State.
The event, according to a statement released on Tuesday, is aimed at showcasing the potential of Nigeria’s beauty and wellness industry and raising awareness about foot care and hygiene.
Samuel, who is the founder of Sam Pedicures, said his background in anatomy had helped shape his understanding of human physiology and foot care.
According to him ““Building a business alongside my studies showed me that young Nigerians do not have to wait for employment; we can create it through skill mastery,” he said.
