Chef Dammy has now applied and we will review all her evidence – Guinness World Records
After 120 hours of cooking, Chef Damilola Adeparusi, also known as Dammy, finally received confirmation from Guinness World Records.
On Friday, June 16, the GWR said the body is now in possession of Chef Dammy’s application and would review her evidence
After finishing her cook-a-thon, Chef Dammy has reportedly submitted an application to the Guinness Book of Records.
As of Wednesday, June 14, the Guinness World Records confirmed that the chef did not submit an application prior to beginning her 120-hour cookathon. According to some sources, she might have applied before she began cooking, but this is false.
Chef Dammy embarked on a courageous cooking journey which organisers said lasted for 120 hours between June 9 and 13.
In the latest information made available on Friday, June 16, the Guinness World Records said the body is now in possession of Dammy’s application.
GWR PR manager, Madalyn Bielfeld said:
“I can confirm that Chef Dammy has now made an application.”
Also, the GWR said that the body would ensure Dammy understands how to submit her evidence and that the evidence would be reviewed.
The body wrote:
“We will ensure she understands the process and method to submit the evidence. We will then reviews this quickly.”
This is coming after Chef Dammy told the BBC Yoruba that she did not cook for Guinness World Records or to be a record holder.
She also said she was not competing with Hilda Baci. Dammy told BBC Yoruba: “I just love cooking.” Earlier on Friday, June 16, FIJ quoted the GWR as saying it was “aware” of Dammy’s cook-a-thon and that evidence could be submitted after a record attempt has been completed.
The body told FIJ:
“We are aware of Chef Dammy’s cooking marathon. It is possible to submit evidence after a record attempt has been completed.”
Only the Guinness World Records can confirm that she cooked for 120 hours and take a decision after Dammy must have submitted her cookathon evidence.

17-year-old Nigerian boy defies UTME failure, makes N14.5m from comic books he writes
A Nigerian boy who faced disappointment after failing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) twice has found immense success by tapping into his talent as a comic book writer.
The inspiring story, which went viral on Twitter thanks to user Dev Tobs, sheds light on the young boy’s journey to financial prosperity and academic pursuits.
According to the Twitter thread, the unnamed boy attempted the UTME twice but did not achieve the desired results.
However, his family recognized his gift for writing and encouraged him to explore it further.
In a fortuitous twist, his brother, a close friend of Dev Tobs and a software engineer, advised him to publish his comic books on popular platforms like Amazon, Etsy, and others.
The boy channeled his efforts into his newfound passion and began publishing his comic books on the online platforms. The response was overwhelming, with readers appreciating his creative storytelling and unique artistic style.
As a result, his comic books started gaining significant traction and popularity, leading to substantial financial success.
The Twitter thread revealed that the talented writer amassed an astonishing sum of N14.5 million (approximately $19,000) within a span of two years.
Overwhelmed by his success, the boy made a life-changing decision to pursue his dreams further by relocating to Canada to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
“He wrote JAMB twice with no major headway, but his folks noticed he had a flair for writing, hence his brother who’s my close pal, also a software Engineer, advised he starts hoisting the comic books he writes on this Amazon thingy, Etsy and one other one.” He has made so much money from it.
“Yes, you didn’t misread, he made $19k (N14.5 million). Two years down the line today, I got news he’s moved up to Canada for his bachelor’s and I couldn’t stop but feel happier.”
