Hilda Baci, the Guinness World Record holder, has compared the cost of preparing for her cook-a-thon to a very luxury car.
She said this on Cool FM Nigeria’s ‘The Big Friday Show,’on Monday hosted by reality TV star Tacha.
Baci, in the video shared Monday, revealed the money invested into her four days GWR attempt can conveniently an expensive luxury cars around.
“I’m not going to put a figure to it but, just think of a very expensive luxury car. Go crazy,” she said.
Baci continued, “I’d rather not put a price to it. I wouldn’t want to discourage anybody . I could have done it on a smaller scale but I chose not to.”
When asked if she felt threatened by Dami, the popular Chef Dammy, who went viral on social media for attempting Baci’s feat in May, Baci said she was not threatened by her.
She said, “At the time she was attempting the record, we were still trying to submit evidence so in truth, the major focus wasn’t what was going on social media. Few days down the line, we had gotten a mail from Guinness requesting for extra evidence and it was a lot of evidence that was required for us to submit so honestly my main focus was just trying to make sure that all the evidence was put together properly, submitted and pretty much waiting for the review.”
“I wasn’t thinking too much about Dammy. Social media brought it to my consciousness.” she said.
The chef also disclosed that before her Guinness World Record victory, she auditioned for the Big Brother Naija reality show for about four to five times but was never selected.
“I tried to get on Big Brother [Naija] for a while. I think I auditioned about four or five times. The plan for the cook-a-thon was still in the pipeline, so my goal was to go to Big Brother and then come out and do the cook-a-thon.”
