Aiyenuro Joshua, official barber to the Super Eagles, is set to break the Guinness World Record for the longest barbing marathon. The initiative, backed by AFRICSOF and T-Jos Signature, aims to inspire youth empowerment and job creation in Nigeria.
- Joshua's record attempt will run from June 10–17, 2025, at Abuja’s Moshood Abiola Stadium.
- Organizers aim to address Africa’s low Guinness World Record visibility and spark a continental youth skills revolution.
- Joshua plans to launch 10,000 barbing hubs nationwide, training thousands of unemployed youth.
“This isn’t just about cutting hair for days,” said AFRICSOF’s Blessing Akinlosotu. “It’s about cutting a new path for Africa’s youth. Joshua’s story reflects how passion, skill, and purpose can transform lives.”
If successful, will Joshua’s initiative shift national focus toward vocational skills as a sustainable youth empowerment model?
