Despite being dethroned by Irish chef Alan Fisher for the “longest cooking marathon (individual)” record, Baci maintains her status as a record-breaking chef.

In a heartfelt message shared on her social media platform, Baci explained that her bio update was a gesture of respect towards her successor, just as her predecessor, Chef Lata, had done when she was dethroned.

She said; “Just as Chef Lata respectfully acknowledged the new record holder by updating her bio and later fine tuning the wording I’ve adjusted mine too.

Achieving such a record is no small feat, and I know this firsthand. I have only the greatest admiration for the hard work it took for Alan to reach such heights. Sportsmanship is about recognizing progress, whether the accolade is in my bio or not. I remain a record holder in spirit and in history. Let’s celebrate achievement and the spirit of competition.”

While the official title may have changed, Baci’s legacy as a record-breaking chef remains intact in the history of Nigeria.
