In the same vein, Indian chef and Guinness World Record holder, Lata Tondon, is asking Nigerians to be patient as they await the official announcement from GWR.
“A humble request to all my brothers and sisters in Nigeria to maintain peace and wait for Guinness to officially announce if the current record is broken or not,” She wrote on social media.
“Please don't make it a competition. It's just a record, my friends.”
It can take up to 12 weeks before a record is announced as either accepted or rejected.
Nigerian Chef, Hilda Bassey began cooking on Thursday and continued through to Monday, cooking for 100 hours in the process.
