Temitope Adebayo, popularly known as Tope Maggie, is credited for shattering Irish chef Alan Fisher’s record of 119 hours and 57 minutes to establish the Guinness World record for marathon cooking.

In a TikTok video captioned ‘The record is broken, congrats to Nigeria, Oyo State, Chef Tope Maggie,’ he was greeted with applause from his fans.

Tope’s accomplishment is noteworthy for Nigeria, since it reclaims the title of longest continuous cooking from Alan Fisher, who had just dethroned chef Hilda Bassey following her 93-hour record.

Tope studied Hotel Management at the Federal Polytechnic in Ede, Osun State, and got the nickname ‘Maggie’ from his mother, who taught him how to cook.

He currently manages a chain of restaurants in Ogbomoso.
