Criticisms, controversy plague Chef Dammy's cookathon
This is coming as controversies and criticisms have continued to plague the cookathon, which started on Friday, June 9.
Some people called her out, accusing her of desperation to shine like Hilda Baci, who cooked for 100 hours in May.
On June 12, a businessman offered to give Dammy N1 million to call off the cookathon. The man said Dammy should wait for Hilda to get her record verified before cooking.
Despite the flowing criticisms, Chef Dammy has vowed to stay in the kitchen and cook for 120 hours.
Many Nigerians support Dammy, show her love
But some Nigerians have also rallied support for the Ekiti chef, with one supporter even offering her GHC12K and a cooking tour in the United States.
Some young Nigerians also found their way to Oye-Ekiti to be physically present and witness the cookathon.
One lady who attended the cookathon accused Dammy of not following the rules and charging money for the food.
However, Hilda Baci broke her silence and tweeted her support for Chef Dammy on Sunday.
What's next if Chef Dammy cooks for 120 hours?
If Chef Dammy succeeds in cooking for 120 hours, her record will still be subject to strict verification and confirmation by the Guinness World Records.
Even Chef Hilda Baci is still waiting for her 100-hour record to be verified, having submitted the evidence.
This means that the verified longest cookathon record is still held by Chef Lata Tondon, who cooked for 87 hours and 45 minutes in 2019. Her record subsists until the Guinness World Record says otherwise.
