Nigerian-born Eche set new World record

A brilliant Nigerian kid, Chinonso Eche, has put the country on the map.

According to Reuters the 12-year-old boy from Nigeria has set a world record for the most consecutive soccer ball touches in one minute while balancing a second ball on his head.

This is coming shortly after another Nigerian, Blessing Amidu, maked history for making the country’s first 3D feature-length animation film. The 80-minute animation produced by Chris Ihidero, “LadyBuckit and the Motley Mopsters”, costs her team over $1m and two years, and it is now showing in cinemas worldwide.
