    We’ve received over 1,500 applications from Nigerians-Guinness World Records

    Following the recent trend of record breakers, The Guinness World Records has disclosed that they have received approximately 1,500 applications from Nigerians.

    This is coming after chef Hilda Baci’s succeeded in the attempt.

    Chef Baci recently got the title for the record-breaking achievement for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.

    Having experienced this, ‘considerable’ number of Nigerians have enthusiastically embraced the trend.

    In a chit-chat with Legit NG, the record body said:“The attention and excitement that Hilda Baci’s cooking marathon gained was certainly an incentive for many Nigerians to consider attempting a Guinness World Records title.
    “Since her record attempt, there has been a spike in applications from Nigeria, particularly for marathon records.
    “We have received over 1,500 record applications from Nigeria since the start of May.”
    Hilda Baci in May hit the spotlight after setting a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest cooking marathon (cook-a-thon) by an individual.

    The Akwa-Ibom native cooked for 100 hours to beat the 87 hours 45 minutes record previously set by Lata Tondon, the Indian chef, in 2019.
    Hilda was certified by the British reference book in June but with a time of 93 hours 11 minutes having critically found some loopholes during the attempt.

    Baci’s feat opened the floodgates of desires by some Nigerians to break her cooking record while others from neighbouring Cameroon sought to set world records in various fields.

    From ‘Kiss-a-thon, massaging, lecturing, praise and worship, crying marathon to ‘sex-a-thon, attempts were made to break world records, prompting the GWR to issue a warning, which reads: “Please enough with the record-a-thons”.
    In recent weeks, Several attempts have been made by some persons to break Hilda Baci’s record.

    The first was Damilola Adeparusi, (Chef Dammy) who did not seek Guinness World Record, GWR, permission before starting her competition.

    Dammy claimed that she cooked for 120 hours but this could not be verified as there were times she switched off live video during the contest.

    With the aim of surpassing Baci’s 93 hours and 11 minutes record, another lady from Ondo State, Chef Deo, revealed that she had informed GWR of her intention and received the green light before commencing the cook-a-thon.
    Deo completed the challenge of cooking for 150 hours.

  • Why I turned down Kizz Daniel’s N50,000 offer – Music producer, Philkeys

    Why I turned down Kizz Daniel’s N50,000 offer – Music producer, Philkeys

    Renowned music producer Philip Ahaiwe Chukwuja, aka Philkeys, has narrated how he turned down Kizz Daniel‘s offer to pay him N50,000 for a studio session years ago.

    He said Kizz Daniel was still striving and an up-and-coming art when he made the offer, which he declined because he was already working with legendary musician, King Sunny Ade.

    Philkeys, however, said he later linked up with Kizz Daniel and made several songs together after the ‘Woju’ crooner hit stardom.

    Philkeys stated this in a recent interview with MTV Base Africa.

    According to him: “Kizz Daniel reached out to me. He was not signed then. He told me that he had a certain amount of money, I think N50k, that he wanted to work with me.

    “But my charges don pass N50k by that time wey I come dey work for Sunny Ade. That time I be big boy. I was like, ‘No o, I’m not doing.’
    “I was gonna see if he was going to call me back but he didn’t call me back, so we just allowed that part to slide. “Then, when he blew up, he called me back saying that he wanted to work with me.”

    He swore that such a man be struck by a combination of thunder from the South East and South West.

    KOK emotions were heightened causing him to react heatedly after he shared a video of a young lady whose lover coerced her into undergoing butt enhancement surgery.

    Unfortunately, she developed an infection after the procedure which led to her death.

    He said: “On this note, anybody in the name of boyfriend who will cause my daughter Uloaku to do bumbum enlargement, holy ghost thunder!

    “May Amadioha from Igbo land combined with Ogun from Ijebu Ode kill that person.

    “If this bumbum enlargement was good, why are husbands not paying for their wives to do it?”
