The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has congratulated the Nigerian chef, Hilda Effiong Bassey, known as Hilda Baci, for breaking the Guinness World Record for the ‘longest cooking marathon’ by an individual.
Hailing Hilda, who has set a new record for a 100-hour marathon cooking via his Instagram handle on Tuesday, Ooni said she demonstrated the inexhaustible perseverance that every woman possesses.
The monarch added that Hilda’s resilient spirit exemplified the toughness but special grace women possess.
Ooni wrote, āToday, like millions of Nigerians, I’m intrigued by #hildabaci resilient spirit, which exemplified the toughness but special grace that our women possess. What she demonstrated to our nation and every young person out there isn’t the glitz or reward system of breaking the Guinness World Record for “longest cooking time,” but the inexhaustible perseverance that every woman possesses.
āEvery little girl in all our communities and local governments, like Hilda Bassey Effiong, deserves a chance to show the world her capacity to wrap us in her spirit of excellence. She has the ability to influence us, to break new ground in the most complex environments, and to substantially contribute to our nation’s economic prosperity.
āAs a nation built upon family values, we must continue to recognise the significant contributions made by women throughout our country’s history. Their words and actions are cornerstones of our existence.ā
Hilda, whose evidence is yet to be confirmed by Guinness World Record, beat Indian chef, Lata Tondon, who had completed the task in 87 hours, 45 minutes, and 00 secs in 2019.
