Some Nigerians questioned whether Chef Dammy followed the correct procedure or whether she intended to break the world record.

“Once an application is accepted, the record claimant receives a set of detailed guidelines specific to that record category that must be adhered to.”
“This also details a list of evidence that must be submitted for our team to verify the record. Guinness World Records maintains a rigorous review process to maintain the integrity of each Guinness World Records title.”
While some have said Dammy had to wait for one year before attempting to break Hilda’s record, the GWR said there is no waiting time before one can attempt to break an existing record.
