Hilda is on her way to breaking the Guinness World Record for the “longest cooking marathon by an individual”.
This is coming after the chef hit the 85-hour mark on Monday morning, with less than 3 hours remaining to set a new world record.
The restaurateur kick-started the competition on Thursday at exactly 4pm after she turned on her cooker.
She aims to beat the 87 hours 45 minutes record set by the current Guinness World Record holder, Lata Tondon, an Indian chef who made the feat in 2019.
The event, which is taking place at Amore Gardens in Lekki, Lagos is being live-streamed on YouTube, and several celebrities, including Nigerians who have defied the rain to cheer up the visibly tired chef up.
