GWR reacts as Tembu Ebere attempting to cry for 100 hours goes blind
Guinness World Record (GWR) has reacted to a video of a Cameroonian man attempting to set a record for the longest crying marathon.
Tembu Daniel Ebere, who embarked on a “100-hour nonstop crying spree” on July 9, recently revealed that he went “partially blind” for 45 minutes during his attempt.
Ebere, better known as Town Cryer, said he also suffered swollen face and puffed eyes.
The comedian added that he had to “restrategise and reduce my wailing”.
“I had headaches, a swollen face, went partially blind for 45 minutes and had puffed eyes,” he told BBC.
“I had to restrategise and reduce my wailing.”
On his Instastory, he wrote: “It’s not been easy. Was really blind for hours. God saved me. But we must reach 100hrs”.
Just to quell some recent rumours, we wouldn't ever monitor a record for the longest marathon crying.

But on Wednesday, the GWR dissociated itself from Town Cryer’s quest. The British reference book added that it “would not ever monitor the longest marathon crying”.
“Just to quell some recent rumours, we wouldn’t ever monitor a record for the longest marathon crying,” GWR wrote.
“Here’s what can be monitored by our team.”
