Hilda, Dami and the game of stoves

Barely one month after Nigerian chef, Hilda Bassey Effiong — popularly known as Hilda Baci, made a much-publicized and celebrated attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, another Nigerian and a self-styled “chef”, Damilola Adeparusi, went viral for taking up the gauntlet and launching her own cooking marathon. Interestingly, Damilola announced that she would attempt to cook for 120 hours in order to surpass Hilda’s record of 100 hours.
