@c5news: A Nigerian man has danced for seven days straight in a marathon effort to get into the world record books. Benjamin Daniel, known as Ben Dancer, set out to dance for 168 hours, to beat the existing Guinness Word Record – held by Srushti Sudhir Jagtap from India - by 41 hours. Having finished his attempt on Tuesday, the exhausted dancer was said to have gone to hospital for a medical check-up. The 33-year-old got just five minute every hour to eat, rest, and change his clothes in an attempt that began last Tuesday, and which ignited street party like scenes around him and went viral online. Mr Daniel incorporated both African traditional dances, krumping and trendy routines from internet culture during his record attempt at Freedom Park in Lagos. Guinness World Records has confirmed it has received Mr Daniel’s application for the title, but it is yet to verify it. #5news #dancer #nigeria #afrobeats
