Guinness World Record: Hilda Baci Extends Cooking Record To 100 Hours

Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci has ended her marathon cooking at 100 hours, setting a new Guinness World Record for ‘longest cooking time’ by an individual.

Recall that Hilda had on Monday morning equaled and surpassed the record held by Indian chef Lata Tandon for the longest cooking duration.

The Akwa-Ibom-born chef will then go on to hit her initial 96-hour target only for her to go extra four hours, peaking at a new world record of 100 hours.

Hilda started cooking on Thursday at 4 pm Nigerian time when she turned on her cooker for the cook-a-thon.

Her feat has attracted praise from Nigerians with top dignitaries in the country hailing Baci’s exploits.

President Muhammadu Buhari, President-Elect Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP)’s Peter Obi, governors, and other personalities have also lauded her for creating the record.

On social media, her name dominated the top trends as tweeps heaped encomiums on her for the sterling showing in the commercial city.

The atmosphere at the Amore Gardens is quite lively as Nigerians poured in to cheer her. Despite the rains in the state, the crowd defied the weather to support her in the cooking marathon.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State; a former Akwa Ibom State governor Godswill Akpabio; Margaret Obi, Peter Obi’s, and a host of others also stormed the venue to show their backing.

While many were in the tenth just outside the cooking arena, others were dancing, and singing, to entertain the crowd as the clock ticked to a new record.
