From Thursday, May 11 to Monday, May 15, Nigerian chef, Hilda Effiong Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci, headlined the African, nay global media with
her bold attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the “longest cooking marathon by an individual”.
The attempt, which was one of the most publicised in history attracted congratulatory messages from former president Muhammadu Buhari, ex-VP Yemi Osinbajo, president Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Lagos State Governor Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and hosts of other bigwigs. Expressing anxiety over the situation, the Akwa Ibom-born chef wrote, “Not me refreshing my email every second since we submitted all the evidence to Guinness World Records.”
Similarly, Lata Tondon who Hilda is seeking to displace, said during an Instagram live session in mid-May that it took two months before her record was confirmed and a certificate was presented to her by Guinness World Records.
