Nollywood actress, Ufuoma McDermott has penned a sweet note to former Guinness World Record cook-a-thon holder, Lata Tondon.
It could be recalled that the chef was bullied by some Nigerians after Hilda Baci started her cook-a-thon event. She was also mocked online after Guinness World records announced Hilda as the new cook-a-thon holder.
Taking to her Instagram page, Ufuoma McDermott hailed Lata Tondon for paving the way for many young ladies to thread on.
According to her, the chef lit a torch to light a path and now many can see on that path.
The actress described Lata as a beautiful inspiration, stating that her title of being the first woman to hold the record will forever be known.
In her words;
“Today I choose to celebrate an inspiration @cheflatatondon. Because she did, our awesome #HildaBaci could Lata, you lit a torch to light a path and now many can see on that path.
First woman to hold a @guinnessworldrecords for the longest cooking by an individual is no mean feat.
Please forgive our overt excitement. We simply pointed out our own to “win”. But even our own has acknowledged that you were the inspiration for the journey.
Your title is NEVER lost. Posterity will remember that you were the first woman and you held it for a long time. In the same vein today. Hilda is inspiring many others. Keep speaking to young people about their dreams. Keep encouraging them. Because indeed, you are a beautiful inspiration”.
