Peter Kalu Ndem explains why he took up audacious challenge
The Nigerian screenwriter, in an exclusive interview with Legit.ng revealed he took up the challenge, scheduled for Saturday, March 30, in Lagos, because he wanted people to know every dream was achievable.
He said:
"I am a born writer who has come along way despite all odds and frustrations from venturing into my passion. And today, I finally conquered, doing what I love best and doing it perfectly. Now, reason why am embarking on this challenge is because I have every thing needed to achieve it. Secondly, to show the world there is possibility when people often doubts your ability. Also, to encourage and inspire everyone that its easy to achieve your dream if you don't give up."
Peter, confident of becoming the world's youngest screenwriter record holder, added that he intends to take his career to the highest level once he attains his goal.
In his words:
"Furthermore, to build my career and take it to the highest level I had ever dreamed of. As a matter of fact, I have got good plans to forge ahead after being announced as the world record holder and not just to be called the record holder."
Age is not a limit to Peter Ndem's dream
The screenwriter, who has worked on more than ten movie projects, was born on October 4, 1994, which means he would turn 30 in October by 2024.
Because Peter will be the pioneer of the world's youngest screenwriter record holder, age restriction does not apply to him.
However, whoever would want to unseat him would have to be younger than him.
He said:
"One of the criteria or evidence to be submitted to GWR, according to them, is birth certificate or marriage certificate if the person to attempt the record is married, meaning my age is not a restriction since I am the first."
Details on Guinness World Record's specific guidelines revealed the age of the record claimant will be taken at the end of the record attempt.
