Nigerian chef, Hilda Bassey Effiong, popularly known as Hilda Baci recently gained popularity after breaking the Guiness World Record for cooking non-stop for 100 hours.
Recently, she held an interview with TVC, sharing with the public the journey that led to her stunning acheivement.
In a bid to set a new world record for the longest cooking time by an individual, Hilda revealed that she had to work very hard to get to where she is right now. The record breaker went further to share on how she was homeless at a point in her life.
Speaking on her historic achievement, she said,
“They don’t know I was homeless at some point. A lot of people see this buzz now, and most of them think I dropped from the sky. They don’t know I was homeless at some point. There’s an entire phase and journey that got me here, and I’m not even done.
“This is still part of a journey. I’m still on a path, and I’m still going. It’s not always going to be rosy. It’s not always going to be easy. But we need more examples like this so people can say, ‘Hilda did it, so I can do it as well.” She said.
