Guinness Book of Record—Longest Hour of Cooking by Hilda Bassey

 

                              HILDA BACI----- " THE COOK-A-THON"

There's a saying that goes if you raise a girl child you have raised a nation. 

Hilda Bassey Effiong has been no exception. These last few days have been a moment of pride for Nigeria as well as an inspiration to grown women and young girls. 

Hilda chose to showcase her culinary skills to the world and break the Guinness World record for the Longest Hours of individual cooking.

   

This action by her has indeed Inspired a lot of women to be more thriving, and believe in themselves with consistency and confidence even when no one else is positive about the process.

A clip from TVC News Nigeria showed a woman expressing her support for Chef Hilda and stated that Hilda had really inspired her as an older Chef to do better; just by seeing her there and the crowd that turned out masse in full support.

I have surfed the Internet to really understand why she chose this path. I’ve understood that Chef Hilda is a woman of aspiration, a go-getter, and she is determined judging from her interviews with  Breakfast Central TV #NewsCentralTV #NewsCentralAfrica. 

She had a lot to say about why she choose to challenge the former record holder Lata Tandon.

For one, she has been obsessed with Guinness World Record and wanted to be a record holder. 

Hilda has dreamt of doing this for the past five years to prove that there is more to women of her tribe and to create this precedent for other women to follow and accomplish.     

Surprisingly, it was also noted that she trimmed some weight so as to have the stamina to carry on the cook-a-thon without breaking.

Days before the scheduled cook-a-thon. Hilda Baci did a 24hrs dry run to ensure she was ready and everything is fit. Hence, her four days of marathon cooking commenced on May 11th, 2023, and ended on 15th May 2023  is supported by brands such as Food by Hilda, Uber, Gino, the Culinary Arts Practitioners Association of Nigeria (CAPA), etc.  

Furthermore, graced by Politicians and leaders who came out to support her; 

President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu described her via his social media space as "Idan" who doesn't break, She breaks records, ‘we are rooting for you Hilda’. 

Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu who commended her in person and had takeout.

 2023 Presidential candidate Peter Obi and his wife Margaret Obi encouraged Hilda Baci in her Dialect

Alongside, Akwa Ibom state governor, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo who also did a video call session with her.

   

Brand influencers, Chefs, and celebrities came out with flying colors to support her. The media has been filled with so much love and support for her. 

Not to forget the massive crowd that came out to support and encourage her. The initial time was 96 hours as against the former record holder but Chef Hilda surpassed the 96hrs to 100hrs. 

It is commendable to mention that in all of the stress, and long hours of cooking, amidst her menstrual cycle, she maintained and delivered her utmost tasty and flavored dishes

 In my opinion, Hilda Baci has gotten the well-deserved recognition she deserves not just from owning "Food by Hilda" (her personal brand and restaurant) but from putting Nigeria as a whole on the forefront and making it harder for the next person to beat her record. 

In conclusion, she gained deals and endorsements from brands as well as rewards.  The cook-a-thon created a platform that brought people together to have fun, make content, showcase their talents and bring high vibrations to the whole moments endured.

GO HILDA!
