20 Things To Know About Hilda Baci


1. Her real name is Hilda Bassey Effiong. She is a young Nigerian chef from Akwa Ibom State. She owes a food brand in Lagos called "My Food by Hilda"

7. She cooks round the clock, no sleep (Morning, afternoon, evening, and night. So, for 4 nights, she won't sleep) 

8. She has just 5 minutes rest per hour [meaning for every 1 hour, she is entitled to just 5 minutes rest or break,  that's an hour break in every 12 hours].

Other sources claim she gets a 30-minute break every 6 hours, she spends the 30mins in a medical van which is just close by, within which she can nap, use the restroom, and also get a medical assessment or checkup by the medical team available on the spot.

9. Whatever she cooks is shared to the people at the venue for FREE. She is not selling the food. 

10. She cooks different meals simultaneously. She is at liberty to cook any meal she likes. There are no restrictions as to what she can cook or not cook. The World Record title is about cooking within a time frame, not about what is cooked. As long as she is cooking, she is on track.

17. Most of the food items, ingredients, utensils, etc she used for this project are provided by her sponsors. So, the money expended on this project is not 100% from Hilda or her Food brand.

Back to our discussion. Does Guinness World Record pays for record broken? Read on to get the final answer. 

Does Guinness World Record (GWR) Pays For record Broken?

Guinness World Records (GWR) does not typically pay individuals or organizations for breaking records. GWR is an organization that verifies and documents record-breaking achievements across a wide range of categories. Their primary role is to provide recognition and maintain a comprehensive record database of notable achievements.

While GWR does not offer monetary rewards for breaking records, the recognition gained from holding a world record can have various benefits. It can generate publicity, enhance an individual's or organization's reputation, attract media attention, and potentially open up new opportunities for sponsorship or endorsements.

In some cases, when a record attempt is organized as part of a specific event or campaign, there may be sponsorship or prize money associated with that event. However, these rewards are typically separate from the recognition provided by Guinness World Records itself.

If you are considering attempting a world record, it's important to research and understand the specific guidelines and requirements set by Guinness World Records. They have strict criteria that must be followed for a record to be considered valid, and it's advisable to reach out to them directly for guidance and official record verification processes.
