Nollywood actress Esther Nwachukwu has said Nigerian chef Hilda Baci, who broke the Guinness World Record for the Longest Cooking Marathon by an Individual, was being overhyped.

The Daily Post reported that President Muhammadu Buhari, the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, and several eminent Nigerians have been singing the praises of the chef since she achieved the milestone.

But reacting via a video message shared on her social media page, Nwachukwu advised Nigerians to stop overhyping the Akwa Ibom-born chef.

According to her, she did nothing spectacular.

Sharing a video of her kitchen set, she said, “So guys, it's not only Hilda Sabi who cooks. You guys are just hailing Hilda. What did she even do? What did Hilda Baci do that you guys are hailing her like only she can cook in this world?

“Do you know that we have people in this country who know how to cook more than Hilda? We can stand for 100 hours, and we will cook non-stop. And that’s me. "I can stand for millions of hours, and I will cook non-stop.”
