Since Nigerian Hilda Baci cooked for over 100 hours, breaking and setting a new record on Monday, May 15th many Nigerians have asked Guinness to announce that she has broken the record.

Some Nigerians have also harassed the former record holder, Chef Lata Tondon, who cooked for more than 87 hours, by going under her pictures on Instagram to comment many unsavoury things.

Yesterday, Guinness said that they were impressed, but they needed time to verify and review the evidence. Now, the previous record holder is asking for people in Nigeria and India to maintain peace and wait for Guinness to announce first.

Nigerian Guinness Record Holder, Kaffi and her group, who broke the record for the longest time a group danced, dancing for over 55 hours 40 minutes, said it takes about a week for Guinness verification to be made and a certificate given. 

However, we wonder if the verification might be sped up because of the pressure from Nigerians online.
