He has challenged the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) which originally reported about Sulemana Abdul Samed and speculated that he might be the tallest man in the world. While the Ghanaian is reported to be 9 ft 6in (2.89m) tall, his Ethiopian counterpart is said to be 7 ft 4.6in (225cm). Following the reports, Nagawoo Jimaa posted his picture alongside that of Sulemana Abdul Samed on Facebook to make his case. If the Ethiopian challenger is indeed 7 ft 4.6in, then it makes him taller than Sulemana Abdul Samed. Reports say some Ethiopians had claimed to be taller than Nagawoo Jimaa but they turned out to be shorter than him.
