I Almost Gave Up 6 Hours Into Contest – Hilda Baci Speaks After Her Cooking Contest

Record-breaking Hilda Bassey Effiong, better known as Hilda Baci, a chef from Nigeria, has described her experience in the competition where she broke the world record for cooking for 100 hours.

She said that she nearly quit the competition six hours in, thus getting into the Guinness Book of Records was not simple.

The graduate of Sociology from Madonna University who came out from the restaurant after completing the 100-hour mark was full of gratitude to God and those who gave her support, especially her mum and brother.

Revealing that she almost gave up six hours into the competition, Hilda said she was drained of all energy to continue, but she didn’t despair.

She said:

“I am so grateful to God. I almost gave up in this Record breaking contest six hours after I started last Thursday, I was tired and couldn’t go on but I was encouraged by my mum who stood by me for 14 hours and gave me strength. I am here and made it because of your support and my mum who raised seven of us.

“I want to tell you all that dreams do come alive as I had planned this five years ago but could not at that time but did it today because of you. Hold on to your dream folks because dreams do come alive”.
