iam_linchpin: Chef Dammy & her Ekiti people were the pioneers of this embarrassing “A-Thon” records. GWR will start seeing us as a country without aims & serious objectives. Ekiti & Ondo states started this sham of “A-Thons” Mugu states.
director_martins: 1499 a yoruba people.
danielreg_ha: Hilda just received her GWR confirmation not quite long, let the lady breathe; If foreigners are attempting to break her record that’s understandable, but it shouldn’t be Africans, at least not this fast. The rate at which Nigerians are embarking on this cook-a-toon is shamefu!.
slickricky5: We Nigerians have the tendency to abuse opportunities until we lose them. Quite unfortunate. That’s why people especially abroad find it difficult to share info, cos once we get wind of it, na to just go spoil am for everyone else. We need to change.
babajideedges1: Lol. If only they knew what Nigerians did to Aloevera & Moringa, & still doing to Amapiano… Everyone loves the spotlight in this part of the world. the moment they are clapping, they already thinking “that could me”. Wo! GWR, Una never see anything-a-thon😂.
drbtgar: They need to give Nigeria as a country the record holder award on Guinness book for records for – Country with the most application in 2 months. Oh no! The country didn’t follow the guideline, they didn’t apply 😂😂.
