In a remarkable feat, renowned Nigerian chef Hilda Effiong Bassey, widely known as Hilda Baci, has shattered the Guinness World Record for the “longest cooking marathon by an individual.”
Surpassing the previous record set by former title holder Lata Tondon, Hilda embarked on this culinary challenge on Thursday at precisely 4 pm, demonstrating her extraordinary dedication and passion.
On Monday morning, Hilda triumphantly surpassed the impressive mark of 87 hours and 45 minutes, cementing her name in history.
However, she remains undeterred and continues her remarkable cooking journey, determined to reach an unprecedented 96-hour milestone.
Should she succeed, Hilda will secure her place in the record books as the first person ever to spend such an extraordinary amount of time cooking.
Hilda’s outstanding achievement has garnered widespread support and acclaim, with government officials, celebrities, religious leaders, and fellow Nigerians rallying behind her.
Their unwavering encouragement and admiration have been evident, even during the challenging moments, such as a heavy downpour in the early hours of Monday.
