Former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, showed support to Nigerien Chef, Grace Nwaokobia, for breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest home kitchen cooking marathon.
Obi attended the event early this morning to celebrate Chef Grace’s achievement.
The marathon, which began on Friday, saw Chef Grace cook for an impressive 86 hours, surpassing the previous record of 68 hours and 30 minutes.
The cooked meals were largely donated to charity, including The Little Saints Orphanage in Ilupeju
Obi praised Chef Grace’s accomplishment on X.com, emphasising the need for a supportive environment in Nigeria that empowers young people to unlock their entrepreneurial potential.
Obi said, “In consonance with my commitment to encouraging our young people towards entrepreneurship and expertise, I showed up this morning to cheer on Chef Grace Nwaokobia #chefgraceggk as she made us proud by breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest home kitchen cooking marathon by an individual.
“The old record stood at 68 hours and 30 minutes. By the time I arrived at about 6:40 am, she had already broken the record and extended it to 86 hours and counting.

Interestingly, the food cooked has largely gone to charity. I gathered that on Saturday, the food made was supplied to The Little Saints Orphanage in Ilupeju, in line with Chef Grace’s dedication to charity.
“Let’s create a supportive environment in Nigeria that empowers young people to be productive, unlocking their entrepreneurial potential. By doing so, we can build a new Nigeria which is now very possible! -PO”
