British-Nigerian Designer Liz Sanya Attempts Guinness World Record for Largest Sandal
In a remarkable feat of creativity and determination, British-Nigerian shoe designer Liz Sanya has successfully completed her attempt to set a Guinness World Record (GWR) for the largest sandal. Measuring an impressive 3.156 meters (10 feet 4.2 inches) in width and 8.147 meters (26 feet 8.8 inches) in length, Sanya’s massive pink clog challenges the previous record held by a group of artisans from Municipio De Sahauyo, which measured 7.45 meters (24 feet 5.31 inches) long and 3.09 meters (10 feet 1.65 inches) wide.
Sanya embarked on this ambitious project on January 2, 2025, following confirmation from GWR, and completed the sandal within a remarkable 72-hour timeframe, concluding her efforts on January 4. The event took place at Pixel Park in Lekki, Lagos, and garnered significant attention, attracting numerous celebrities, including Pheelz, Mayorkun, Korty EO, and P.Prime.
Reflecting on her journey, Sanya expressed profound gratitude to her supporters, emphasizing her deep connection to Nigeria. “I’ll never be able to put into words what any of this means to me. None of this has been possible without the support and compassion of the people who believe in my vision,” she stated. Born in Ibadan and inspired by the vibrant culture of Lagos, Sanya felt it was only fitting to return to her roots for this momentous occasion.
As the world awaits official confirmation from Guinness World Records, Sanya’s achievement stands as a testament to her innovative spirit and dedication to her craft.
The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer. The news was announced by his family on his official Instagram page, stating that he passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, after a long illness.
Peters, fondly known as KP, was celebrated for his contributions as a filmmaker, actor, and producer. He was known for his role as Koko in the popular sitcoms “Twilight Zone” and “Flatmates” in the early 2000s. His work also extended to stage plays and sitcoms like “Extended Family” and “Being Farouk,” significantly impacting Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television landscape.
He is survived by his wife, Alexander, and their children. Funeral arrangements are underway, and further details will be shared by the family in due course. The industry and fans alike will deeply miss his warmth, generosity, and contributions to Nollywood.
Popular Nigerian skit maker, Carter Efe, has reportedly lost access to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This development follows recent criticism leveled against Afrobeat artist Wizkid during a TikTok live stream.
Efe’s comments, in which he accused Wizkid of pride, triggered a backlash from Wizkid’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.
Gabriel Oche Amanyi, known as Terry G, has asserted his significant contribution to the Nigerian music landscape. The “Akpoko Master,” pioneer of the “Street-hop” movement in the 2010s, stated that his influence is undeniable when discussing cultural impact within the Nigerian music industry.
His comments, made via social media on Wednesday, arrive amidst ongoing discussions regarding impact and legacies, spurred by the recent exchange between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In his statement on X, Terry G declared, “You can’t talk about cultural impact in Nigeria without talking about Terry G. I am the culture!” This pronouncement underscores his belief in his lasting effect on the evolution of Nigerian music.
