The "longest cooking marathon by an individual" record was broken by Hilda Effiong Bassey, also known as Hilda Baci, a Nigerian chef.
On Monday morning, the cook broke the previous record of 87 hours and 45 minutes held by Lata Tandon, holder of the Guinness World Record.
On Thursday at precisely 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Hilda turned on her cooker and entered the contest.
Although she already surpassed the record, the restaurateur continues with her goal of cooking for 96 hours and becoming the first person to ever spend that much time cooking.
Political figures, celebrities, priests, and other well-meaning Nigerians have continued to show their support for Hilda.
This is despite the fact that Nigerians supported her despite a significant downpour on Monday morning.
On April 2, Hilda revealed in an Instagram post that she will finally realize her five-year-old goal.
She disclosed that she will prepare meals for four days and four nights to surpass Tandon's record, which was established in India in 2019.
The Guinness Book of World Records has not yet acknowledged Hilda's most recent achievement because it needs to analyze the supporting documentation.
