Nigerian-Canadian Chef, Beauty Obasuyi’s Recordbreaking Mission
For some time now, Nigerianborn Canadian chef, Beauty Obasuyi, has made Canadian culinary space a whole vibe, particularly in the bustling city of Toronto, where Obasuyi’s Naija Jollof has turned into the coolest spot for Nigerian grub.
This real estate agent-turnedfood queen has been slinging the best Jollof rice in town. Obasuyi, who came to Canada in 2009, is now gearing up for a significant challenge. Starting from January 10, 2024, in the city of Brampton, Ontario, Obasuyi aims to break the Guinness World Record for the Longest Cooking Marathon.
Diving into the history of this record-breaking endeavour, Hilda Baci from Lagos, Nigeria, cooked tirelessly for 100 hours, surpassing the previous record set by Lata Tondon of India, who cooked for an impressive 87 hours and 45 minutes. However, Alan Fisher from Ireland recently elevated the bar by cooking for an astonishing 119 hours and 57 minutes.
With this in mind, Obasuyi set her sights on surpassing Fisher ’s record, aiming to cook continuously for eight days or 192 hours. This determination only underscores the global passion of chefs like Obasuyi who aspire for this prestigious title. Obasuyi’s aspirations transcend mere cooking. Her mission is deeply rooted in supporting families in need.
In the heart of Brampton, the pretty chef has been recognised for her philanthropic endeavours, especially in aiding homeless families or those in shelters. Her marathon is not just about setting records but emphasising community solidarity and the unifying essence of food. Residents of Brampton and neighbouring areas are urged to stand behind Obasuyi in this significant undertaking, acknowledging her cooking passion paired with a genuine commitment to philanthropy.
To some, 2027 feels like a billion miles away. But to politicians that are serious with their ambitions, 2027 is like a few ‘days’ away and the permutation has started in earnest.

Top society woman, Jokotade Oni, has continued to glow and radiate warmth and youthfulness despite having bestrode the social circles for close to five decades running.
Apart from being one of the top Lagos high society women, she is also one of those lucky women who have continued to age gracefully. Her love and passion for looking good have remained constant, even as the years rolled by.
The boss of Goldrush also has a penchant for quality jewellery and an admirable sense of fashion. Her jewellery store is a onestop shop for quality and premium gold jewellery. She has carved a niche for herself as a fashion connoisseur, socialite and jewellery magnate who ranks high among her peers. Her dress sense, aura, poise, elegance and beauty are still top-notch
So, when such a society matriarch plans a party, it is indeed something to watch out
How time flies! Segun Ogunsanya started on a very eventful note in 2021 when he took over as CEO of Airtel Africa. The news of his appointment didn’t come as a surprise to many. It was well deserved and applauded by all stakeholders. So far, he has distinguished himself in various capacities. As a result, stakeholders were confident that he would keep up the momentum that the telecommunication firm is known for. The very brilliant man did not betray the confidence thrust on him.
It is not an exaggeration that Ogunsanya, the outgoing Chief Executive Officer of Airtel Africa, is one of the brightest minds in corporate Africa. When he took over Airtel Africa’s reins, no one doubted his ability to turn things around in the company, having performed wonders as the CEO of Airtel Nigeria.
Ogunsanya, an engineer of repute, was chosen as the right man to help stem the tide of the telecommunications company, which is known to have metamorphosed several times.
He was seamlessly captaining the ship of the Nigerian Bottling Company when Airtel Nigeria challenged him with another challenging position as its CEO. Known to take challenges head-on like a bull and surmount them, Ogunsanya could not resist the temptation of a fresh challenge.
Today, he is commended for his efforts to pull the company from the precipice, thanks to his managerial skills. Industry watchers affirm that it has been the longest period of stability without another change of ownership since the company first launched its network as Econet Wireless in 2001.
