Damilola Adeparusi began this feat under the auspices of Spirit Global Mission on Friday, June 9, 2023 and has been at it for over 105 hours.
This means she has spent more time cooking than Hilda Baci who cooked for 100 hours and 40 minutes in May.
The news of Adeparusi's record attempt was first received with shock because Baci's attempt was barely a month ago, but she soon sent the internet into a frenzy as she continued cooking.
There have been unconfirmed reports that she puts off the cooking gas, goes to bed for extended periods, and does other actions which they deem should have her disqualified, but this will be up to Guinness World Records to decide based on evidence presented.
While there are many controversies around her record attempt, Adeparusi has also received some support, notably from Hilda Baci who wished her good luck.
The First Lady of Ekiti State, where the cook-a-thon is taking place, also sent her a message of support.
Adeparusi has 15 more hours before she reaches her goal of 120 hours.
