Chef Dammy, an undergraduate from Ekiti State, gained viral attention on social media when she embarked on an extraordinary feat of cooking continuously for 120 hours.
Many people assumed that her endeavor was an attempt to surpass Nigerian chef Hilda Baci’s record for the longest cooking time by an individual.
However, during her interview with the BBC, Chef Dammy clarified that her remarkable endeavor was simply a personal challenge driven by her love for cooking.
“I did it because I enjoy cooking. I didn’t do it to be recognized by the Guinness World Record or to break Hilda Baci’s record,” she said in Yoruba.
Meanwhile, Guinness World Records has finally broken its silence regarding Nigerian chef Damilola Adeparusi’s 120-hour cook-a-thon.
