Nigerian herbs seller, Eniola Fagbemi who previously announced her plan to set a new Guinness World Record (GWR) by cooking Agbo for 300 hours, has decided to cancel the attempt.
The 25-year-old entrepreneur cited the well-being of her baby as the primary reason for her change of heart.
Eniola Fagbemi, a native of Oyo, had initially declared her intention to undertake the marathon cooking session on November 26, scheduled to take place in Ibadan on December 1.
However, in a recent Facebook post on Monday, December 4, she revealed the challenges she faced as a mother that ultimately led to the cancellation of her Guinness World Record attempt.
The herbs seller explained that her responsibilities as a mother, coupled with her child’s health concerns, played a significant role in her decision.
Eniola disclosed that her toddler, currently going through teething, ended up in the hospital due to the strain caused by her marathon practice sessions.
In the Facebook post, Eniola shared a photo of her child, emphasizing the child’s vulnerability to the adverse effects of prolonged exposure to smoke during the cooking sessions.
She expressed concerns about the potential danger to her daughter’s health.
“AGBO-A-THON has been canceled !!
I regret to announce the cancellation of my proposed cooking of Agbo for 300hours to break Guinness world record.!! Motherhood restricted me, I have a breastfeeding baby at hand. Exposing her to long hours of smoke is a danger to her health, and she’s currently teething, more clingy to me. Just for the past few days of me doing rehearsals for the Agbo A Thon,
has landed her in the hospital because she was lacking my attention.
I don’t want to loose my daughter because of fame. The decision for me to cancel my Agbo A Thon was a hard one, but i believe my daughter will be proud of me in the future that i chooses her health first before any other thing.
Thank you all for your support人, Eniola wrote.
