Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr Udom Emmanuel, Sunday evening, reached out to Guinness World Record candidate, Hilda Bassey (Miss Hilda Effiong Bassey), and has commended her for representing the best attributes of the Dakkada philosophy of the State.

The Governor, according to his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Ekerete Udoh, spoke with the Chef via a telephone call from Uyo shortly on arrival from an official engagement outside the Country.

Mr Emmanuel was full of praises for Hilda’s passion and determination to break the Guinness World record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual. He said, “This is what our Dakkada philosophy is all about; the determination to dare and conquer what others assume to be impossible.

“We salute you for putting our culinary skills on full display and of course, our nationally and internationally celebrated cuisines. You are an inspiration to millions of Nigerians, and especially our dear fellow Akwa Ibomites.

“We are all solidly behind you as you embark on this inspirational moment. We look forward to hosting you soon,” the Governor reportedly told the Chef.

Hilda, 27, hails from Nsit Ubium local government area of Akwa Ibom State.

Earlier, the Akwa Ibom State Governor-Elect, Pastor Umo Eno, had sent his message of encouragement to Hilda. The Governor-Elect in his message celebrated “the passion and ingenuity of the renowned chef.

“By embarking on this great and historic undertaking, you have brought to the fore, our unique and nationally celebrated culinary skills and rich cuisines.

“As the world celebrates you, I want you to know that Akwa Ibom State is on the cusp of further explosion in tourism, which is a key component of our A.R.I.S.E. Agenda, and we look forward to working with resourceful Akwa Ibomites like you, who are willing and ready to break the glass ceiling of accomplishments. You have done our State proud, and we are all behind you.

“Akwa Ibom will always roll out the red carpet to celebrate you and your likes in the years ahead,” Pastor Eno added.

The restaurateur kick-started the competition on Thursday at exactly 4 pm after she turned on her cooker. She aims to beat the 87 hours 45 minutes record set by the current Guinness World Record holder, Lata Tondon, an Indian chef who made the feat in 2019.

The event, which is taking place at Amore Gardens in Lekki, Lagos, is being live-streamed on YouTube, and several celebrities are in attendance.

Hilda is a role model of the "can do" spirit.

If you go to Tiktok now,it's as if God made "mistake" in giving girls breast and bumbum.

God bless Hilda Bassey, God bless Akwa Ibom state and God bless Nigeria.

It's unfortunate Christians have become something else! Considering the indecent images of the girl that has suddenly become their messiah, i came to a conclusion that the Christians of nowadays are not different from those who plot against Jesus. If Jesus were to be around today, he will surely wage war against these Atheists parading themselves as followers of Jesus!
My question to genuine Christians:
Would Jesus be happy with those banging, naked and uncultured pictures of the girl in question?
Why are you promoting evils?

Oga, come we are not in the herders period. Allow Christians be and keep your trash archaic law to yourself, and your religion.
The way you people pretend like you aren't worse off, or na by to put on hijab cover body? 🤷‍♂️

Which naked pictures of the girl, or do you expect everyone to follow a useless book that doesn't allow freedom. She dress the way she wants, and never you expect everyone to be like you or your religion. No go condemn the bombing and slaughtering you guys keep doing everywhere, dey here dey cry about how she choose to dress! Or your kinsmen that keeps sleeping with underage girls na wetin?

Wearing canopy doesn't make you holier, it's only to give you that useless feeling. This same hijab has been used for suicide bombing and all sort of terrorist attack all over the world. This one think say na northern Nigeria or Pakistan you dey where you can impose your trash shariah on everyone. Keep that nonsense within yourself and shut up abeg!

Your religion account for most terrorist attack and their group, Boko Haram, ISIS, alqueda, she do reach like that? You people keep disturbing us with your nonsense, but never condemn your brothers who are so good in the terrorist act. Is that not evil?
What's more evil than killing in the name of a useless god that can't fight for himself?
Tuehh, you get brain. Use am! 😏

Later one Yiibo lady go say nah dem sabi cook....pass...in the whole world....we never see their name of the list...

Akwa IBom people should except greater criticism from one region...i don't want mention...Always greedy and jealousy about other tribe achieve is one of this particular region's tribal heritage
