According to Guinness World Records, individuals seeking to set a record must first submit an application through their official website.
This application then undergoes a thorough review process by the records management team.
Once accepted, the record claimant is provided with detailed guidelines specific to the chosen record category, outlining the requirements and evidence necessary for verification.
In the case of Damilola Adeparusi, Guinness World Records confirmed that no application had been received for her attempted cook-a-thon.
Consequently, they were unable to provide any guidance or assess her record claim. The organization emphasized that adherence to these procedures is crucial to maintain the integrity of each Guinness World Records title.
It is worth noting that Damilola Adeparusi had commenced her cooking marathon in Ekiti state with the aim of surpassing Hilda Baci’s 100-hour cooking record.
However, while Hilda Baci’s achievement was certified by Guinness World Records on Tuesday, Damilola Adeparusi received a negative response.
As the organization expressed no prior knowledge of her record-breaking attempt.
The recent disclosure by Guinness World Records (GWR) regarding Nigerian chef Damilola Adeparusi’s 120-hour cook-a-thon has ignited a flurry of discussions on social media platforms.
Users have taken to these digital spaces to share their diverse sentiments and opinions on the matter.

Reports suggest that Damilola Adeparusi was encouraged to take on the cooking challenge by her pastor, who sought to promote both the chef and his church through this endeavour.
Nevertheless, without adhering to the necessary protocols, her record remains unrecognized by Guinness World Records as of the time of writing this.
Even if she had submitted her application they wouldn’t have let her because the rule states that the record must be held for atleast 3 years before anyone can be allowed to make an attempt in breaking it
