On Thursday at 6pm, Tope began his attempt. He had been in the kitchen for more than 12 hours at the time of this report.

The flyer also implies that the chef has tried to get Guinness World Records (GWR) to sanction the event.

The Nigerian hopes to beat the Irish chef Alan Fisher, who cooked for 119 hours and 57 minutes, and set a new world record.

After Fisher beat the previous 93 hours and 11 minutes record set by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci, the GWR officially recognised him as the record holder on November 7.

During a chat with BBNaija's Tacha, Hilda revealed she tried to get on the reality show and auditioned about five times but did not make it.

The chef, who caused a stir after she was spotted with a mystery man, said the rejection made her channel her energy to Guinness World Records before she finally got her name in their books.
