In the wake of Irish chef Alan Fisher shattering the Guinness World Record held by Hilda Baci, a spirited Nigerian chef has emerged, ready to seize back the glory for the nation.
Tope Maggie, a chef hailing from Ogbomoso, Oyo, has plunged into a formidable 200-hour cooking marathon to etch his name into the annals of a new world record.
Maggie, in a Thursday evening Instagram post, officially declared his audacious cooking marathon attempt to reclaim the record Hilda Baci lost early this month. He accompanied the announcement with numerous pictures and videos, with Maggie earnestly seeking support for his ambitious endeavor.
