Nigerian chef Adeyeye Adeola, also known as Chef Deo is currently undertaking a remarkable culinary endeavor in an attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual after Hilda Baci.

This feat follows another Nigerian chef, Adeparusi Damilola, also known as Chef Dammy, who recently embarked on a 120-hour cook-a-thon in the Oye Local Government Area of Ekiti State, aiming to push the limits of culinary endurance. The current Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon (individual) is held by Hilda Effiong Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci, who achieved a remarkable time of 93 hours and 11 minutes. Her record-breaking attempt took place from May 11 to May 15, during which she prepared over 100 pots of food over the course of four days. The Guinness World Records has officially acknowledged Hilda Baci’s achievement after conducting a comprehensive review of the evidence. However, if Adeyeye Adeola manages to complete his planned 150-hour cook-a-thon, he will surpass Hilda Baci’s record and establish a new world record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual. Hours after the commencement of the event, a Nigerian identified as Alakowe took to his media page to react. He wrote “Another chef from Ile Oluji, Ondo State Chef Deo, commences her 150hrs cook-a-thon to break Hilda Baci’s current record. She has cooked for 5hrs 40mins now.” SEE POST:  Another chef from Ile Oluji, Ondo State Chef Deo, commences her 150hrs cook-a-thon to break Hilda Baci’s current record.

Kristaps Štãls and Patriks Zvaigzne, as well as Leonids Romanovs and Tatjana Fjodorova, engaged in a 54-hour and four-minute conversation, delving into subjects ranging from the power of the mind to social dynamics. Cyprian and Sarah surpassed this record by a remarkable margin, solidifying their place in history.

Many have commended them for their ability to maintain a deep connection despite the challenges posed by distance.

Arsenal submits British record £105m bid for Declan Rice

Arsenal submits British record £105m bid for Declan Rice

Arsenal has submitted a third bid for West Ham’s Declan Rice worth £105m, which, if accepted, would make him the most expensive British player ever. The record was previously held by Gareth Bale, who left Tottenham for Real Madrid for £85m in 2013 until Jude Bellingham moved to the Bernabeu from Borussia Dortmund for an initial £88.5m earlier this month.

The Gunners have already had two offers turned down for Rice, while Manchester City have had one rejected. City’s offer of a £90m package, with £10m of it paid in add-ons, was rebuffed by West Ham on Tuesday morning. Rice has indicated a preference to move to Arsenal this summer, where he would be a key part of Mikel Arteta’s project. The chance to play for Pep Guardiola’s Treble winners will be attractive, though, and City are in the market for new midfielders after captain Ilkay Gundogan joined Barcelona for free.

Rice has played more than 200 games for West Ham and also earned 41 caps for England since his international debut in 2019.

Charly Boy accuses record company of breaching contract signed 35 yrs ago

Veteran entertainer Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has threatened to sue Premier Records Limited over alleged violation of terms of an agreement in musical contracts signed about 35 years ago. He made this known in a letter written to the record label by his lawyer, Mr Rockson Igelige, which was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja.

Charly Boy accuses record company of breaching contract signed 35 yrs ago

Charly Boy In the letter dated June 19, 2023, the lawyer said Charly Boy had signed Artists Recording Contracts with the company in 1988, 1990 and also recently. He, however, alleged that the contracts had since expired, but Premier Records was still breaching his client’s copyrights to the musical works. “On our client’s instructions, we demand that your company hand over our client’s master tapes, artworks, promo collateral for the music and other relevant and confidential information with your company within 30 days of the date of this letter. “We also demand your company’s payment of our client’s outstanding royalties,” the letter read in parts. According to Igelige, the albums affected included, the one recorded in 1990 containing songs such as Big Bottom, Aids, Sexy Lady, Mama, and Nwata Miss. He also listed an album titled “U-Turn” with songs including Akula, Sheri, Comfort, Civilian Barrack, Akula (Instrumental). Also in the list is an album titled “Reality” which contains songs such as Monkey, Family Support, No.6 Man, Give Mv Life, Lagos Life and Baby Come Back. He contended that the terms of the contracts entered with the company as Polydor Record in 1988, Polygram Records Limited in 1990, and currently Premier Records Limited had ended by expiration of time. “In this wise, we have our client’s instructions to formally inform your company to stop further breach of our client’s copyrights to the musical works under the musical albums and single(s) produced during the aforesaid expired contract period. “This is a result of the fact that the condition precedent as well as the consideration for the contracts were not met and furnished. “This serves as a legal notice that further breach after the receipt of this letter will attract legal action.“We hope and trust that your company will comply with our client’s modest demands,” he said.
