Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong has expressed surprise that another Nigerian is contesting the 100 hours, 40 minutes set by Hilda Baci in the marathon cooking without her certification by Guinness World Records.
Inibehe Effiong in his Twitter handle on Thursday wrote ‘‘Hilda’s record has not been certified. Yet, a certain chef in Ekiti State is reportedly trying to upturn her record.’’
Recall that Baci had embarked on the cooking marathon in a quest to break the record set by Indian chef, Lata Tondon.
Baci broke the Tondon record of 87 hours, 40 minutes, after cooking for four days.
According to the lawyer, ‘‘Yet, a certain chef in Ekiti State is reportedly trying to upturn her record. Why are people like this?
Why can’t this person wait for a reasonable time after Hilda’s certification before trying to upturn her record?
This is ridiculous!’’ Effiong tweeted.
This is as chef Damilola Adeparusi has begun a 120-hour cooking marathon in Oye Local Government Area in Ekiti State, weeks after chef Hilda completed her cook-a-thon.
Meanwhile, Hilda Baci had lamented in her Facebook page ‘‘still awaits GWR response:::::’’
Hilda has stated that she keeps refreshing her email in anticipation of confirmation from Guinness World Records.
However, Guinness World Records is yet to officially recognise her as the new world breaker.
According to them, ‘‘they need to review all the evidence first before officially confirming a record.
Baci said she has been refreshing her email constantly for the latest response from Guinness World Records.
“Not me refreshing my email every second since we submitted all the evidence to Guinness World Records,” she tweeted.
