Chef Damilola Adeparusi has surpassed Hilda Baci’s 100-hour cooking time for the Guinness World Records.
Adeparusi, who is based in Ekiti State, broke the news on Tuesday in a video shared on her Instagram page while celebrating the feat.
In the video, the cook is seen carried by her male assistant on his shoulder as they rejoice over the feat.
Adeparusi began cooking at 12am last Friday with a target of 120 hours.
She became a cynosure in a viral video after she reportedly completed 15 hours of the 120 hours earmarked for the cooking.
While some social media users have criticised her for attempting to break Hilda Baci’s yet-to-be-confirmed attempt by the Guinness World Records, some have showered praise on her for believing in herself.
Wife of the governor of Ekiti State Olayemi Oyebanji took to social media to celebrate Adeparusi’s attempt to break the Guinness World Records in the category of the longest cooking by an individual.
The cook also caught the attention of a Nigerian doctor Ayo Arojo who gifted her N500,000 and a two-week cooking tour of the US.
Announcing his offers, Arojo wrote on his Facebook page, “Chef Dammy will be invited for a two-week cooking tour in the United States. I can’t wait for her to start the process! Let us continue to support her.”
