In a glorious celebration of culinary mastery, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, bestowed his heartfelt admiration upon the exceptional Nigerian chef, Hilda Effiong Bassey, fondly known as Hilda Baci.
With awe and reverence, the monarch lauded her extraordinary achievement of shattering the boundaries of the culinary world by claiming the illustrious Guinness World Record for the longest individual cooking marathon.
Baci’s unparalleled dedication and unwavering perseverance paved the way for her remarkable feat—a breathtaking 100-hour marathon of gastronomic excellence.
