She described as incredible and profound the support and love received from Nigerians during the four-day cooking marathon.

Hilda said, "I am honestly still in awe. I honestly just think I am still in shock. I am so happy, and I am so grateful to everyone. I mean I am just thinking about the attempt and the experience, and I am just reliving the whole thing. I can't thank you people enough.

"I honestly don't know what I will do without you guys. And it's just so incredible, and it's so profound. The love is so true, with nothing expected in return. You guys still came through for me, online, offline."
