Reality star Queen Mercy Atang shares her opinion on chef Dammy's Cook-a-Thon, acknowledging her passion but expressing disagreement with her actions. Queen Mercy highlights the fact that another Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci, had previously set a record of cooking for 100 hours, but her achievement has not been officially recognized by the Guinness World Records. Queen Mercy believes that starting a Cook-a-Thon without recognizing Hilda's accomplishment feels unfair and deprives her of the recognition she deserves. While competition can be healthy, Queen Mercy emphasizes the importance of fairness and giving credit where it is due.
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…
