Nigerian Chef, Hilda Effiong Bassey, otherwise known as Hilda Baci on Tuesday, called on people seeking to break her 100-hour record time for the “longest cooking marathon by an individual” to wait until she receives her certificate from Guinness World Record.
Baci stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’.
Recall that Kanyi Daily reported that the chef broke the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual with a 100-hour record time.
By the feat, Hilda surpassed the current world record holder, Lata Tondon, an Indian chef who achieved the feat in 2019 with 87 hours 45 minutes record uninterrupted cooking.
She said, “If people are trying to break the record so soon, it means that I have been able to achieve, if not a little bit, an entire goal and dream.
“So in the normal human sense of it, please they should just wait for me to collect my certificate first. So that they can actually break the record because again people say they want to break Hilda’s record but what that means is, I have to get my approval so that that is actually the record that they are breaking.”
Below is the video of her interview:
Since Hilda broke Tondon’s cooking record, she has been receiving congratulatory messages from the entire country.
President-elect, Bola Tinubu in his message felicitated the chef and hailed her for showing the spirit of excellence in the cooking marathon.
