Omokri described Adeparuasi’s attempt as a crab mentality common in black Africa, making its peoples compete with one another.
In a tweet posted on his handle, @renoomokri, on Sunday, June 11, Omokri noted that there are over 40,000 records to be broken and wondered why Adeparausi should choose the feat that a fellow countrywoman just achieved last month, The Nation reported.

The former special adviser said:
“There are over 40,000 records in the Guinness World Records. A Nigerian broke one. If another Nigerian wanted to be in the Book of Records, should she not have looked for some other record to break other than Hilda Baci's potential record? Why must her target be the feat achieved by her fellow citizen?
“This is all too common in Black Africa. Crab Mentality. We prefer to compete with our brothers rather than cooperate with them. And if we can't beat them, then we pull them down! I have seen this happen so many times. Nigerians do not like each other when they meet abroad and will even undermine each other in full view of other nationalities.”
According to PM News, the social critic said Adeparasi is not industrious, and she’s disastrous.
According to Omokri, those in charge of the Guinness Book of Records will see Nigerians as mean-spirited people.
“From what I see, this new cook is not industrious. Some people may even see her as jealous or envious. Whether or not they are correct, one thing is clear, she is disastrous. What she is doing will not bring joy to Nigeria. Hilda Baci united Nigeria and Nigerians.
"This new challenge will disunite us and bring strife while further exposing our cultural trait (I pray it is not a racial trait) of undermining each other. Even the Guinness Book of Records people will see us as a rather mean spirited people. What a pity!”
