However, Anderson clarified that their pursuit of Waweru doesn’t automatically anoint him as the record holder.
“Hopefully, he or anyone with longer nails can earn themselves a place in the next edition of the book,”
Back in 2013, Waweru’s remarkable nails not only garnered attention but also proved lucrative, with earnings ranging from Sh2,000 to Sh10,000 daily.
His nails, meticulously painted in the vibrant hues of the Kenyan flag, became a symbol of national pride.
Initially met with skepticism by his parents, Waweru’s earnings swiftly converted them into avid supporters of his unusual pursuit.
