Filmmaker Ugezu Ugezu has berated Nigerian chefs conducting fresh cookathon while Hilda Baci’s own is yet to be ratified by Guinness World Records. Some Nigerian chefs including a certain Chef Dami in Ekiti state, have begun their own Cookathon as they attempt to also break the Guinness world record for the longest cooking hours.

Displeased by their actions, Uzegu wrote

‘’They didn’t even wait for Hilda to get confirmation. They have regrouped to stage another and deny her the confirmation. How else ca wickedness be defined?”
