Nigerian chef, Prince Temitope Adebayo, also known as Tope Maggie, has successfully reached the 135-hour mark in his 200-hour cooking challenge.
This challenge aims to surpass the existing Guinness Record held by Alan Fisher.
Tope Maggie commenced his quest for the longest cooking marathon on Nov 9, 2023. In June, prior to the cook-a-thon's kickoff, Tope Maggie announced that his application to break this cooking record had been approved, revealing his initial plan to cook for 140 hours and 20 minutes.
However, with Alan Fisher breaking Hilda Baci’s record, Tope Maggie decided to up his game to 200 hours instead.
With the cook-a-thon set to span approximately eight days, five days have already passed, leaving Tope Maggie with three more days to secure his position as the newest Guinness Record Holder.
While numerous Nigerians have attempted to break various world records and faced challenges, like Joyce Ijeoma, who aimed to achieve a 72-hour body massage but unfortunately collapsed before reaching her goal, Tope Maggie remains undeterred.
As Tope Maggie continues his cooking marathon, the question looms: will he achieve this great feat? With a promising start, we eagerly await to witness if Tope Maggie will emerge as the newest record holder for the longest cooking marathon.
Best of luck to Tope Maggie.
