Popular reality star, Queen Mercy Atang has expressed displeasure with aspiring chef, Dammy for starting a Cook-a-Thon when Hilda Baci’s accomplishment was not acknowledged.
The Ekiti chef recently attracted attention after she took on the audacious goal of cooking for 120 hours in an effort to beat the record of 100 hours achieved by Hilda Baci, another Nigerian chef, less than a month earlier.
There have been a variety of reactions to this, with some expressing dissatisfaction while others have cheered and noted that the sky is big enough for everyone.
She claims that while she respects chef Dammy’s zeal, she disagrees with her action, which she has characterized as premature.
According to her, it was like depriving someone of their long awaited dream and goal.
She wrote;
“While I appreciate Dami’s passion, I must express my disagreement with her actions. Hilda Bacci patiently waited for five years after Lata Tondon set the record for the longest cooking time. Unfortunately, the Guinness World Records (GWR) has not yet recognized Hilda’s achievement by awarding her the certificate she deserves. This situation feels like depriving someone of their long-awaited dream and goal. It’s unlikely that anyone else would have considered attempting this feat if Hilda hadn’t done it. While competition can be beneficial, it should always be healthy and fair.”
