Temitope Adebayo, widely known as Tope Maggie, has reportedly achieved a groundbreaking feat by breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous cooking, surpassing the previous record held by Irish chef Alan Fisher, which stood at 119 hours and 57 minutes.
The historic moment was captured in a TikTok video titled ‘The record is broken, congratulations to Nigeria, Oyo State, Chef Tope Maggie,’ where Tope is seen surrounded by cheering supporters, celebrating his remarkable achievement.
Tope Maggie's accomplishment marks a significant win for Nigeria, reclaiming the title for the longest continuous cooking from Alan Fisher, who had recently dethroned chef Hilda Bassey after her 93-hour record.
Tope, who studied Hotel Management at the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Osun State, inherited the name ‘Maggie‘ from his mother, under whom he honed his culinary skills. Currently managing a chain of restaurants in Ogbomoso, Tope Maggie has not only showcased his cooking prowess but has also brought international recognition to the Nigerian culinary scene.
