Adeoye Adeyolu Blessing, a chef from Ondo state, has kick-started her mission to break the world record for the longest cooking marathon, currently held by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci.
However, the news has sparked reactions, with many netizens condemning the Ondo State chef for attempting to unseat Baci so soon after she broke the record in March 2023.
The Ondo State chef’s 150-hour Cook-a-thon has began in the state and Nigerians have been streaming her live video session to see how far she can go.
Despite the controversy trailing her mission, the Ondo State chef remains determined to break the record, as she claims to have been preparing intensely for the cook-a-thon.
Hilda Baci, a Nigerian chef from Akwa Ibom, currently holds the record for the longest cooking marathon, having cooked for 93 hours and 11 minutes straight.

It’s so sad. Allow the girl breathe and enjoy her time! Jeez!!! If you were so creative, you should’ve done yours before hers. She even copied her outfit, video style, etc! Just so sad.”
