Nigeria, known for its vibrant culture and diversity, has witnessed an unprecedented surge in record-breaking attempts in recent times. Fueled by the success of Hilda Baci’s awe-inspiring cooking marathon, enthusiasts across the nation have taken up the challenge to leave their unique mark on the pages of history.
