We’ve Received Over 1,500 Applications From Nigerians – Guinness World Records Reveals

The Guinness World Records (GWR) has made a revelation about Nigerians following the recent trend of record breakers.

The GWR disclosed that they have received approximately 1,500 applications from Nigerians.

This is coming after chef Hilda Baci’s succeeded in the attempt.

Chef Baci recently got the title for the record-breaking achievement for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.

Having experienced this, ‘considerable’ number of Nigerians have enthusiastically embraced the trend.

In a chit-chat with Legit NG, the record body said: “The attention and excitement that Hilda Baci’s cooking marathon gained was certainly an incentive for many Nigerians to consider attempting a Guinness World Records title.

“Since her record attempt, there has been a spike in applications from Nigeria, particularly for marathon records.

“We have received over 1,500 record applications from Nigeria since the start of May.”

Hilda Baci in May hit the spotlight after setting a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest cooking marathon (cook-a-thon) by an individual.

The Akwa-Ibom native cooked for 100 hours to beat the 87 hours 45 minutes record previously set by Lata Tondon, the Indian chef, in 2019.

Hilda was certified by the British reference book in June but with a time of 93 hours 11 minutes having critically found some loopholes during the attempt.

Baci’s feat opened the floodgates of desires by some Nigerians to break her cooking record while others from neighbouring Cameroon sought to set world records in various fields.

From ‘Kiss-a-thon, massaging, lecturing, praise and worship, crying marathon to ‘sex-a-thon, attempts were made to break world records, prompting the GWR to issue a warning, which reads: “Please enough with the record-a-thons”.

In recent weeks, Several attempts have been made by some persons to break Hilda Baci’s record.

The first was Damilola Adeparusi, (Chef Dammy) who did not seek Guinness World Record, GWR, permission before starting her competition.

Dammy claimed that she cooked for 120 hours but this could not be verified as there were times she switched off live video during the contest.

With the aim of surpassing Baci’s 93 hours and 11 minutes record, another lady from Ondo State, Chef Deo, revealed that she had informed GWR of her intention and received the green light before commencing the cook-a-thon.

Deo completed the challenge of cooking for 150 hours.

I wondered what if people listen to my music and this is how they feel? I made a song that day and it was a beautiful song and I’m like you know what, I’m going to carry on with this energy. I’m going to let people feel this way after one shot.”

‘Tequila Ever After’ is AG’s fifth album which will fully usher in his Tio Tequila artistic era.

“I’m on level five of my adventure game and it’s all fun. It’s happy, it’s a party, it’s more confident, all better off. When you take tequila, it’s all better off you don’t give any damn, you just say whatever you want to say, and that’s what ‘Tequila Ever After’ means.

“It’s a metaphor for where I am in my life right now. I’m in a very happy state – like very, very happy and I want it to shine through the music.”
