Security agencies are also not available to safeguard the environment except a few private security officers popularly called bouncers.
It was gathered that besides being a chef, Adeparusi is also a poet, songwriter, and editor. Her official social media pages carry these titles as well.
She is a curious person and has passion for researching and learning about new things.
Adeparusi is representing a church, Spirit Word Global Mission, in the cook-a-thon and she is attempting to surpass Hilda Baci’s 100hrs record with her 120 hours goal.
She has been able to make varieties of food such as: rice and beans , beans porridge, Semovita with vegetables, porridge, spaghetti, among other delicious meals.
According to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports, the Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ),Ekiti State Council, Rotimi Ojomoyela, has sent words of encouragement to her and urged Ekiti indigenes to show supports for her to make the state proud.
