Tartenger Victor, also known as Chef Naira Victor, is a Benue State-born chef who has embarked on a six-day, 135-hour cooking marathon in an attempt to achieve a Guinness World Record.
Victor’s cook-a-thon, which began on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, in Makurdi, Benue State’s capital, is set to end on Sunday afternoon, March 3, 2024.
Aside from the free food consumed by hundreds of supporters and well-wishers at Tiger Bar, the cook-a-thon’s venue opposite B Police Division, food was sent to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in Makurdi and surrounding areas so that they could taste it.

Prominent Nigerians, including the speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Hon. Aondona Dajoh, and others, have flocked to the cook-off venue to sample the meal.
Victor is hoping to beat the current Guinness World Record holder, an Irish chef named Alan Fisher, who set two Guinness World Records for the longest cooking marathons with a time of 119 hours and 57 minutes.
The Irish cook broke the previous record set by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci by more than 24 hours.
