Nigerian chef, Hilda Bassey Effiong, popularly known as Hilda Buci has broken the Guinness World Record for longest cooking hours.
Hilda broke the record which was previously held by Indian chef, Lata Tondon on Monday morning at 7:45 am.
Tondon had made meals for 87 hours, 45 minutes and 00 seconds.
However, as of the time of filing this report, Hilda has cooked for 88 hours, 19 minutes.
She aims to cook for 96 hours.
She will complete the task at 5pm on Monday.
The chef has been getting massive support, especially from Nigerians, celebrities and politicians in the country.
Hilda kick-started the competition last Thursday (May 11) at exactly 4pm.
The event, which is taking place at Amore Gardens in Lekki, Lagos had many Nigerians defying the rain to cheer up the chef.
Actor Charles Okocha; actress, Kate Henshaw; singer, Tiwa Savage; media personality, Enioluwa, and many others appeared at the event.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu also visited the venue on Sunday to cheer up Baci.
Baci is no stranger to breaking records as she won the maiden edition of the ‘Jollof Faceoff’ competition back in August 2021.
On why she embarked on the latest task, Baci said it is one of her biggest aspirations, adding that it is also an opportunity to tell some positive stories from Africa through the meals that we eat.
