Currently, Nigerians are not able to access the website of Guinness World Records as the website has been configured to block traffic from the country.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports a visit to the website returns a “403 Error” page with a message boldly written, “The request could not be satisfied”.
The message on the website also contains the following information: “The Amazon CloudFront distribution is configured to block access from your country.
“We can’t connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner”.
However, a visit to the website using a virtual private network (VPN) went through.
TNG reports this is coming after Guinness World Records made a publication on the website with the title, “Nigerian chef Hilda Baci bids for longest cooking marathon with 100-hour kitchen stint”.
The publication posted by Vicki Newman quoted a Guinness World Records spokesperson as giving reasons why Hilda Baci was yet to be recognized as the record holder for longest cooking hour by an individual.
“We are aware of the record attempt and are looking forward to receiving the evidence for our Records Management Team to review, before we can confirm the record is official,” the spokesperson was quoted to have said.
Hilda began cooking on Thursday and continued through to Monday, reportedly whipping up 55 recipes and more than 100 meals in a whopping 100-hour stint.
She snapped up the record title for longest cooking marathon (individual) which currently belongs to Lata Tondon (India) with a time of 87 hr 45 min.
