Disgruntled Nigerians have stormed the Twitter page of the Guinness World Records (GWR) over its announcement stating that Hilda Bassey’s cooking marathon is still being reviewed before confirming that she has indeed broken the longest cooking hours for an individual.
OsunDaily News reports that the chef had on Monday morning smashed the 87 hours 45 minutes record set by now-former Guinness World Record holder, Lata Tondon.
Bassey launched into the competition on Thursday at exactly 4 pm when she put on her cooker.
Nigerians have since been waiting for the Guinness World Record to announce her as the new record holder.
However, GWR in a response, said it was reviewing evidence before it can confirm her as the new record holder.
This response has, however, infuriated netizens who warned GWR against tampering with Bassey’s victory.
