Nigerian Chef Hilda Baci’s eyes could not stay dry when she saw the Guinness World Records name her as the current holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
The 26-year-old garnered a lot of support from many people in Nigeria and beyond when she went on a journey to break the previous record held by an Indian chef, on Thursday, May 11.
The Nigerian Chef, following the official confirmation, was captured in a car with a friend when the news first broke.
“Oh my God, oh my God,” she repeated numerous times while jubilating excitedly in the car, staring at her phone.
Seconds later, Hilda started tearing up as the reality of the news hit her. “Thank you God,” she said.
Hilda also took to her Twitter account to acknowledge the news and support she has received from everyone, writing “This is the best news ever omg omg omg thank you so much.”
