The ambitious lady believed to be from Ekiti state, commenced her Cook-a-Thon event precisely at midnight (12 am) on June 9, and it has already started attracting media attention.
The motivation behind this culinary challenge appears to be Hilda Baci’s achievement of cooking for 100 consecutive hours, breaking the previous record set by Indian chef Lata Tondon.
The aspiring chef is gaining viral recognition and has set up an Instagram live video under the handle @spiritworldglobalmission, allowing fans to witness her determined endeavour to surpass Hilda’s record.
Since the news broke, the post has generated mixed reactions among netizens. While some criticize her severely for seemingly attempting to overshadow Hilda Baci, others are captivated by her ambition and eagerly following her progress.
