A Nigerian chef, Damilola Adeparusi, better known as Chef Dammy, has started a new cook-a-thon attempting to break the previous record set by her colleague, Hilda Baci.
On May 15, 2023, Hilda Baci achieved a remarkable feat by surpassing the previous Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time held by Chef Lata Tondon from Rewa, India in 2019.
The Akwa Ibom chef, not only broke Tondon’s record of 87 hours and 45 minutes but went on to cook for an astounding 100 hours and 40 minutes, making her the first individual in the world to spend such an extended duration of time cooking.
Although the Guinness World Record is yet to officially confirm Hilda Baci as the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon, her remarkable achievement has set a benchmark in the culinary world, inspiring other chefs to either break her record or take on the challenge.
On Friday, June 9, 2023, another young lady named Chef Damilola Adeparusi kicked off a cook-a-thon attempting to break Hilda’s record by cooking for 120 hours in Oye Local Government Area in Ekiti State.
As of the time of writing this report, Chef Dammy has cooked for over 24 hours and counting, but some Nigerians have called her out for envy, saying she should have waited for Guinness World Records to confirm Hilda’s record.
See some reactions below:

Chef Dammy from Oye in Ekiti State is trying to break the cooking marathon GWR. I carefully observed her back view and saw why she will never trend even in her own village, so I took it upon myself to trend her. I hate injustice and discrimination against the flatrodden. pic.twitter.com/oXgbyRJu4d

I don't see this challenge as a competition with anyone rather a platform for her to project her brand too. It isn't about the @GWR certification but the PR she gets from it. It's a win for all even if 100 people participate. So, go girl 👍
120hrs is the goal Chef Dammy. 🥂 pic.twitter.com/r9rWgQJL6P— Rotr. Faoye Seeker #Foundational MC 🎤 $BEYOND (@Seeker0502) June 9, 2023

If you won’t support Chef Dammy, it is fine.
Spewing hate just because she dared to excel is not sensible.
If you have an excuse for why she shouldn’t do it, keep it to yourself.
It’s her dream not yours.If you’re waiting to see her fail, so you can rejoice, you’re just sick. pic.twitter.com/yo8JJ5BldH
