FUOYE VC gifts Chef Dammy N200k as she attempts to become world record holder for the longest cooking marathon (Photos)

The Vice-Chancellor, Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Prof. Abayomi Fasina has visited Chef Damilola Adeparusi, a student of the institution who is attempting to become the world record holder for the longest cooking marathon.

Chef Dammy who has surpassed Hilda Baci’s 100-hour Cook-a-thon record on June 9, 2023, began her 120 hours cook-a-thon

She became a cynosure in a viral video after she reportedly completed 15 hours of the 120 hours earmarked for the cooking.

While some netizens have criticised her for attempting to break Hilda’s ‘yet to be confirmed’ attempt by the Guinness World Record, some have showered praise on her for believing in herself.

Fasina is among many individuals or groups who have shown her support.

Fasina visited the student chef with members of the University Governing Council and the Management team in Ilupeju-Ekiti to further encourage her on her resilient spirit to achieve greatness with her skill.

The vice chancellor and his entourage arrived at the venue of the marathon cooking at 12:30 pm with cheers by a crowd of excited students who received him.

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.

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.

The tweet reads;

“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.”
