Nollywood actress and producer, Ruth Kadiri, has reacted to the news of an Ekiti chef, Damilola Adeparusi’s, attempt at breaking Hilda Baci’s unofficial 100-hour cook-a-thon record.

News surfaced a few hours ago that Chef Dami is set to break Hilda’s record. Chef Dami began a 120-hour cooking marathon in Oye Local Government Area in Ekiti State on Friday.

In a now-deleted post, the mother of two wrote:
“They won’t think for themselves, but the moment you do it, everyone starts realising they can do it too. They can’t even wait for her euphoria to settle.

“Meet Nigerians, my people.”

Hilda Effiong Bassey, fondly known as Hilda Baci, broke the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time in May. She beat Indian Chef Lata Tondon’s record of 87 hours, 45 minutes, and 00 seconds to emerge as the new record holder.
