Watch Live: Hilda Baci Sets New World Record

Nigerian Chef Hilda Baci is currently trending for cooking for 4 days straight without sleeping. She is a few hours away from breaking the record for the longest hours of cooking.

She has been cooking for four days, and now, the fourth night. She is set to break the 87 hours, 45 minutes, set by Chef Lata London in Rewa, India, in 2019.

It has been streaming live on several platforms for 4 days now with several celebrities and politicians supporting it.

1. Her real name is Hilda Bassey Effiong. She is a young Nigerian chef from Akwa Ibom State. She owns a food brand in Lagos called “My Food by Hilda”

2. She will be cooking for 4 days non-stop.

3. She must stand to cook. She is not permitted to sit while cooking.

4. She’s not allowed to take coffee, stimulants, or any energy drink to artificially boost her energy and bodily strength while cooking

6. The cooking is taking place at Amore Gardens, Lekki, Lagos State, Nigeria.

7. She cooks round the clock, no sleep (Morning, afternoon, evening, and night. So, for 4 nights, she won’t sleep)

8. She has just 5 minutes rest per hour [meaning for every 1 hour, she is entitled to just 5 minutes rest or break, that’s an hour break in every 12 hours].

Other sources claim
She gets a 30-minute break every 6 hours, she spends the 30mins in a medical van which is just close by, within which she can nap, use the restroom, and also get a medical assessment or checkup by the medical team available on the spot.
