Hilda Effiong Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci, has made history by breaking the Guinness World Record for the “longest cooking marathon by an individual”.
Hilda smashed the previous record of 88 hours 00 minutes set by the current Guinness World Record holder, Lata Tondon, on Monday morning (today).
The competition began on Thursday at exactly 4pm when Hilda turned on her cooker.
Despite having already broken the record, Hilda has continued to cook on for a total of 96 hours, aiming to set a new world record as the first human to spend such an amount of time cooking. Her endurance and passion for cooking have received widespread recognition and support from government officials, celebrities, clerics, and other well-meaning Nigerians.
