Hilda Effiong Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci, a Nigerian cook, has surpassed the 96-hour mark and now holds a 100-hour record time.
Supporters at the cook-a-thon competition, which is taking place in the Amore Gardens in Lekki, are currently sharing videos of themselves cheering on the young chef and congratulating her on reaching the milestone.
Hilda was originally supposed to stop at 4 p.m. today, surpassing the current Guinness World Record holder for the “longest cooking marathon by an individual” with her former 96-hour objective.

If certified after the 100th hour, she will be displacing the current world record holder, Lata Tondon, an Indian chef who achieved the feat in 2019 with 87 hours 45 minutes record uninterrupted cooking.
