A large crowd in Lagos has trooped out to support of Hilda Baci at Amore Gardens, Lekki, as she attempts to break the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
When I came here on the first day, I met barely 100 people at the venue. There was enough space for everyone to sit, but today is the third day and Hilda has become a viral sensation.
There are large crowds at the gate and inside the venue.
The support is clearly not only online, but on the ground, there are hundreds of people struggling to enter and even inside the venue every square inch is packed with so many people.
The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has been here, and many celebrities and influencers are also at the venue.
Many people online have commented on how it shows the camaraderie of the Nigerian spirit as Hilda Baci attempts to break the world record.
At the time of this report, Hilda Baci has been cooking delicious meals for close to 75 hours and is very close to breaking the world record of 87 hours and 45 minutes set by Lata Tondon in 2019.
