Guinness World Records confers rare honours on those who have achieved world records in recognized fields of human endeavours. These records are deemed to chronicle the first time in our human race that some one or a group of people has done something so extraordinary that they deserve mankind's recognition. Based in England, Guinness World Records rarely looks to Africa and Africans for its selection of record-making achievements.

The recognition of our own Senator David Dafinone and his children for being the first family in history to produce the largest number of chartered accountants in one  family is extraordinary. This is a profession that is not native to Nigeria. Chartered accountants are peculiarly a British club of talented men and women. Urhobo Historical Society proudly celebrates the fact that an Urhoboman has beaten the odds and is so honoured with his entire family.
