Hilda Effiong Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci, has surpassed the current Guinness World Record holder.
The Nigerian chef began her quest in what May have been seen as a joke of sorts, her feat today establishes the fact that she has not only broken the world record but is going ahead to set her own new world record.
If she does, she would then have set the Guinness World Record for the “longest cooking marathon by an individual” after hitting the 87 hours 50 minutes mark and still going on live.
The restaurateur began the competition on Thursday after she turned on her cooker at 4pm and surpassed the current world record holder on Monday morning. (Moments ago)
If certified by the Guinness World Record, she will be displacing the current world record holder, Lata Tondon, an Indian chef who achieved the feat in 2019 with 87 hours 45 minutes record uninterrupted cooking.
Baci’s cooking marathon is currently ongoing at Amore Gardens in Lekki, Lagos State.
In her ongoing record-breaking attempt, Nigerians, including several celebrities defied the rain to physically cheer up the visibly tired chef.
Baci hit the four-day mark on Monday morning.
