Temitope Adebayo, also known as Tope Maggie, has reportedly broken the Guinness World Record for marathon cooking, surpassing the previous mark set by Irish chef Alan Fisher.
Tope achieved this feat, lasting longer than 119 hours and 57 minutes, as announced in a celebratory TikTok video captioned ‘The record is broken, congrats to Nigeria, Oyo State, Chef Tope Maggie.’
This achievement holds significance for Nigeria, reclaiming the title of longest continuous cooking from Alan Fisher, who had recently surpassed chef Hilda Bassey’s 93-hour record.
Tope Maggie, who studied Hotel Management at the Federal Polytechnic in Ede, Osun State, earned the nickname ‘Maggie’ from his mother, who imparted her culinary skills to him.
Currently, Tope manages a chain of restaurants in Ogbomoso.
