The masseuse aimed to dethrone current longest-massage world record holder Alastair Galpin, who broke the record in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, with 25 hours and 4 minutes.
Hilda Effiong Bassey, also known as Hilda Baci, broke the record for the longest cooking marathon (individual) in June, with a time of 93 hours 11 minutes, according to Guinness World Records.

However, almost seven hours were deducted from her final total because she mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.
Although Ijeoma’s record will be a first, the Guinness World Record for the longest full-body massage was about 25 hours, 4 minutes.
A South African, Alastair Galpin, recognised as the second Guinness World Records breaker of the 2000s (2000-2009), set the record in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, in November 2015.
In the now-viral video seen, Ijeoma who has done over 36 hours, collapsed.
A video of the unfortunate incident posted on social media platforms, seen by SaharaReporters on Tuesday afternoon, saw a colleague of Ijeoma trying to help her through the ground while she struggled for balance.
The Instagram Live, which aired her activities, ended abruptly. No official statement or update about the incident has been issued by her team as of the time of filing this report.
