Since Hilda Baci defeated her predecessor to achieve a new record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, more Nigerians have given the GWR a try.
In May, Baci pulled off a 100-hour attempt to set a record for the longest cooking marathon.
The chef challenged the record of 87 hours 45 minutes previously set by Lata Tondon, an Indian, in 2019.
Following days of vetting by GWR, Baci was certified to have instead set a 93-hour record.
A second chef, Damilola Adeparusi, began her five-day cooking marathon shortly after Baci\’s achievement.
Adeyeye Adeola then made an attempt to break Baci\’s record by casting a 150-hour spell.
Temitope Adebayo, an Ibadan-based chef who is also competing, announced publicly that he intends to cook for more than 120 hours.
It also came as a shock to many when Hassan Joshua Bature, a computer science lecturer at the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), announced plans to embark on 150-hour teaching marathon.
At about the same time when Joyce Ijeoma, the Nigerian masseur attempting to break the world record for the longest massage on different individuals, collapsed, GWR issued a very important reminder to participants.
In the short statement, the GWR advised participants to properly confirm with “our team” before attempting to break any world record.
Polite reminder that you should probably have your world record title confirmed by our team before attempting it
here’s how our process works 👇
