<\/p>\nA Nigerian pedicurist, Olusanya Samuel, known as Sam Pedicures, is set to attempt a Guinness World Record for the longest pedicure marathon by an individual.\n<\/p>\n
The Anatomy graduate from FUOYE, Samuel is scheduled to undertake the 48-hour marathon from October 29 to 31, 2026, at Njay Beauty Spa & Salon, located at Akure, Ondo State.\n<\/p>\n
The event, according to a statement released on Tuesday, is aimed at showcasing the potential of Nigeria\u2019s beauty and wellness industry and raising awareness about foot care and hygiene.\n<\/p>\n
Samuel, who is the founder of Sam Pedicures, said his background in anatomy had helped shape his understanding of human physiology and foot care.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy background in anatomy gave me a deeper understanding of human physiology and foot care structure.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding a business alongside my studies showed me that young Nigerians do not have to wait for employment; we can create it through skill mastery,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Samuel said his entrepreneurial journey began in his second year at university, when he started learning manicure and pedicure techniques. <\/p>\n
Over more than five years of practice, the venture grew from a side enterprise into Sam Pedicures, a brand focused on foot hygiene and professional foot care.\n<\/p>\n
The record attempt is also intended to encourage young Nigerians to develop practical skills and explore entrepreneurship alongside formal education.\n<\/p>\n
Organisers said the event would feature live entertainment, a red-carpet experience, food, drinks and free pedicure sessions for attendees.\n<\/p>\n
Samuel completed his primary and secondary education in Ondo State before studying Anatomy at FUOYE.\n<\/p>\n
He is the son of Olusanya Adeleke, from Epe, Lagos State, and Adubi Mercy, from Akunu Akoko, Ondo State.\n<\/p>\n
The proposed marathon comes as Samuel seeks to use his professional skills and the international attention associated with a Guinness World Records attempt to promote Nigeria\u2019s personal care industry.<\/p>\n
