She started on the 11th of May, last week Thursday.
She was determined to break the former record of 87hours 45 minutes set by an Indian Lady, Lata.
She began cooking, cooking and cooking. People cheered, people came to support and of course you will also see negative people who condemned the act and questioned why she was doing it.
This act of hers, brought individuals from different tribes all over the nation together in one place, to join hands and support her.
The cooking act that some people questioned and asked what she’d gain from it, made more than 18 brands to partner themselves with her.
The first day went by, second day, third day…she was visibly tired. I mean why won’t she?? She has been cooking nonstop and only have 5minutes of rest every hour, that is approximately 2 hours worth of rest per day.
Did she give up? No, not at all!! She continued. With the help of her staff and the cheers of Nigerians, she pushed further.
Word spread, now not just Nigerians, people from all over the world, our African brothers, those in other continents, even the initial world record holder, Lata took to their phones, came online, supported and cheered on Hilda to push harder.
This was a motivation. Yes she was tired, but the strength of thousands and possibly millions of souls around her, gave her strength. She didn’t give up, her staff didn’t give up, she pushed further, pushed harder, even when her body tried to breakdown, she continued cooking.
Now, it’s the 4th day, it has surpassed the former record time..Hilda has officially broken the record of longest cooking and did she stop there? No, she’s still cooking.
She wants to set her own record. Her target is 96hours..that is 9hours longer than the initial record.
Of course everyone is still there physically and on social media to cheer her on.
It’s no longer a matter of “if” but a matter of “when”.
4 days ago, she started a journey that seemed impossible. 4 days later, she has officially broken the record. Now she’s on her way to set her own record and put her name in the history books.
