Actress Ruth Kadiri Slams Chef Dammy For Trying To Break Hilda Baci’s Cooking Record

Nollywood actress, Ruth Kadiri has reacted to the attempt by a Nigerian chef, Damilola Adeparusi, better known as Chef Dammy, to break the cook record set by her colleague, Hilda Baci.

On May 15, 2023, Hilda Baci achieved a remarkable feat by surpassing the previous Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time held by Chef Lata Tondon from Rewa, India in 2019.

The Akwa Ibom chef, not only broke Tondon’s record of 87 hours and 45 minutes but went on to cook for an astounding 100 hours and 40 minutes, making her the first individual in the world to spend such an extended duration of time cooking.

Although the Guinness World Record is yet to officially confirm Hilda Baci as the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon, her remarkable achievement has set a benchmark in the culinary world, inspiring other chefs to either break her record or take on the challenge.

On Friday, June 9, 2023, another young lady named Chef Damilola Adeparusi kicked off a cook-a-thon attempting to break Hilda’s record by cooking for 120 hours in Oye Local Government Area in Ekiti State.

As of the time of writing this report, Chef Dammy has cooked for over 35 hours and counting, but some Nigerians have called her out for envy, saying she should have waited for Guinness World Records to confirm Hilda’s record.

In a now-deleted post shared on her Instagram story, Ruth Kadiri backed those questioning the chef’s actions, suggesting that she should have allowed Hilda to relish her victory before attempting to break it.

The actress wrote: “They won’t think for themselves but the moment you do it… Every one starts realizing they can do it to. They cant even wait for her euphoria to settle. Meet nigerians my people.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Hilda Baci recently cried out over continued delay by the Guinness World Records to confirm her cook-a-thon.
