An unidentified lady has kick started Snail-A-Thon during which she would be frying and cooking snail-related meals for 200 hours to set a Guinness World Record.
Already, Nigerians have called on the relevant authorities to intervene and stop her.
Over the last few months, Nigerians have taken to using every means accessible to them to set one Guinness World Record or the other.
While the pace had been set by Hilda Baci who began the Cook-a-Thon trend in Nigeria, many a citizen have brought up different ideas.
A video currently making the rounds online captures a lady who began a 200-hour Snail-A-Thon during which she’d be frying nonstop for 8 days.
Many have, however, considered the trend to be spinning out of control and have called on the authorities to do something about the recent GWR frenzy.
One person wrote: “Nigerians don’t have sense. Must it be this year someone started cooking,,, which means all of you must cook can’t you break another record by being the first person to share money for 200 hours, just to pass the first person that’s what you people are after.”
Another wrote” What is wrong with us? Especially ladies, all they want is the kind of publicity, fame, acceptance and support that Hilda got during her cook a thon. This is getting old and embarrassing, must we all head in one direction? Look at the lady that passed out during her attempt to break one of the GWR. Abeg, make una stop this, other countries have GWR holders, how many of their citizens are competing so hard to shadow the success of one of theirs so soon after becoming a GWR holder.”
