A Nigerian masseuse has gone viral after she failed in her attempt to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest massage on different individuals.

In the video that has gone viral, Joyce’s assistant was seen catching her as she fell to her knees while massaging. The assistant called for help and was assisted by another individual on the set.
