A Nigerian lady has made the country proud again this morning in Lagos
She is no other than Hilda Bassey Effiong, the chef popularly known as Hilda Baci, who broke the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest cooking marathon by a single individual.
Baci achieved the new feat in the early hours of Monday at the Amore Gardens, Lekki Lagos.
The competition — better known as cook-athon — started on Thursday at exactly 4 pm after the restaurateur turned on her cooker.
Baci’s aim is to beat the 87 hours 45 minutes record set by Lata Tondon, the Indian chef who is the current Guinness World Record holder.
Tondon achieved the feat in 2019.
But on Monday, the Nigerian surpassed Tondon’s time to set a new record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
