Chef Dami Adeparusi has been gifted the sum of N1 million by a US resident for her attempt to cook for 120 hours.
Chef Dammy embarked on a 120 hours cook-a-thon a few days ago with the aim of breaking the record of fellow Nigerian Hilda Baci who cooked for over 93 hours a few weeks ago.
Sadly for the young undergraduate, she did not follow the right procedure for embarking on the contest. She was therefore not recognised by the Guinness World Records.
After the attempt was made by Chef Dammy to cook for 120 hours, several people who admired her resilience despite the backlash she got for challenging Baci’s achievement without waiting for the latter’s official certificate.
In the latest update, an Influencer identified as Maria Ude Nwachi made public the financial pledge to Dammy by the US-based donor, saying it was from a client of hers.
The influencer shared the screenshot on her page where the client said that the N1 million was ‘support for Damilola’s outstanding attempt at reaching a record in the Guinness Book of Records for longest cooking hours by an individual.’
