Hilda Baci, confirmed on Tuesday by the Guinness World Record, for the longest cookathon record, on the same day revealed how she spent more than N80 million on the exercise to achieve the feat, which has now drawn a lot of global attention.

In response to a brand’s claim that she broke an N3 million agreement for a meet-and-greet event in Abuja, Bassey, who broke the record on May 11 at 4:00 pm, after a four-day cooking marathon aimed at breaking the previous record, denied having such an arrangement in place.

She said: “I spent over N80m of my hard earned money for my cookathon so people could eat and drink for free.”

At last, the expected reply has come to Hilda Baci, the Nigerian sensation, who set the social media ablaze and gained global attention with her sheer tenacity and resilience, as the Guinness World Records (GWR), on Tuesday, finally confirmed as the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon, more three weeks after she performed the fat.

The global institution for recognising special feats across the world, made the confirmation on their official website on Tuesday, crowning the efforts of the Akwa-Ibom born chef, popularly known as Chef Baci, which she achieved on May 15 before hundreds of cheering Nigerians who watched her for days.

The post reads: “Following a thorough review of all the evidence, Guinness World Records can now confirm that Hilda Effiong Bassey, better known as Hilda Baci, has officially broken the record for the longest cooking marathon (individual), with a time of 93 hours 11 minutes.

“The 26-year-old Nigerian chef began on Thursday 11 May and continued through to Monday 15 May, cooking over 100 pots of food during her four-day kitchen stint.

“Hilda attempted to set a record of 100 hours, however, almost seven hours were deducted from her final total because she mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.”

The previous record of 87 hours 45 minutes was set by Lata Tondon (India) in 2019.

A 24-year-old woman was reportedly been shot in the clitoris after a stray bullet entered her home while she was sitting in her living room.

Medical operatives at Erdoğan Hospital in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, have extracted a two centimetre bullet from the vagina of a 24-year-old after she was rushed to hospital in severe pain.

The bullet, which reportedly came through the ceiling pierced her clitoris, while she sat in her living room and the operation took place through the help of Computerised Tomography (CT) scans, which revealed the bullet had become lodged inside her clitoris after being fired into her vulva.

Having decided that she needed surgery to have it safely removed, the obstetrics and gynaecology team, who heard of the strange story from the woman, who told them that she sat in her lounge when the stray bullet fell through the ceiling, got to work and with pelvic examination showing where the bullet had penetrated the clitoris and lodged, successfully removed it.

The operation was said to have been carried out using  local anaesthetic, adding that following its surgical removal, with no complications observed, the woman was discharged home the following day “in good condition,” the reports, which stated that subsequent visits showed no further complications, say, quoting medics.
