"I have not applied to Guinness World Record, to be sincere. It’s a publicity stunt."
On the cost of planning her 'agbo-a-thon', Eniola said it would cost her N150k. The young lady also spoke about her motivation to attempt the record.
"My passion for agbo inspired it.
"My grandmother was into herbs and she started training me from age 12. I enjoyed cooking herbs due to their healing properties."
Despite GWR decrying that they received over 1,500 applications from Nigerians, this has not discouraged people from seeking to enter the body's prestigious book by attempting new feats.
