Large crowd show up in Lagos to cheer Hilda Baci to Guinness World Record

A large crowd in Lagos has trooped out to support of Hilda Baci at Amore Gardens, Lekki, as she attempts to break the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.

When I came here on the first day, I met barely 100 people at the venue. There was enough space for everyone to sit, but today is the third day and Hilda has become a viral sensation.
