The Nigerian chef Hilda Baci extended the existing 100-hour record for a marathon cooking session.
After cooking for more than 87 hours and 45 minutes on Monday, Baci broke the previous record established by Lata Tondon of India back in 2019.
The achievement took place in Lagos’ Amore Gardens, Lekki.
The chef decided to go one step further by setting a new record of 100 hours after shattering Tondon’s cooking record.
A 96-hour objective to beat the current Guinness World Record holder for the “longest cooking marathon by an individual” was originally set for her to cease at 4 p.m. on Monday.
But by 8 pm, the chef completed 100 hours of non-stop cooking.
While Nigerians celebrated Baci’s achievement on Twitter, the Guinness World Records disclosed that it will review all the evidence first before officially confirming the record set by the Nigerian chef.
“We are aware of this amazing record attempt, we need to review all the evidence first before officially confirming a record,” it wrote on Twitter.
HowNG earlier reported how thousands of Nigerians took to Lekki to rally support for the Akwa-Ibom chef.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos state governor, also visited the Lekki venue, while Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president, hailed Hilda for “standing at the crossroads of history”.
Some celebrities like Dremo, IK Osakioduwa, Eni Adeoluwa, Timini Egbuson, Liquorose, Tiwa Savage, Spyro, Charles Okocha, and Skiibii also visited the venue of the competition to cheer up Baci.
