Negewo Jima posted his picture alongside that of Sulemana Abdul Samed on Facebook saying “never give up”. “Bring him if you want – this guy will not be longer than me,” he said in an earlier post. “From what I see on the pictures, I can say he’s not longer than me,” Mr Negewo later told the BBC. At 7 ft 4.6in (225cm) Mr Negewo is said to be Ethiopia’s tallest man. In the past other Ethiopians have said they were taller than Mr Negewo, but later found that this was not true.
