Hilda Baci Set to Break Guinness World Record with Largest Pot of Nigerian Jollof Rice

Nigerian celebrity chef and restaurateur, Hilda Baci, is gearing up for another historic culinary feat—this time, by attempting to cook the largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice ever made. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The announcement was made via her Instagram and TikTok accounts, sparking excitement among fans across West Africa.

This record-breaking attempt comes just two years after Baci captured global attention with her longest cooking marathon in 2023—a Guinness World Record that was later surpassed by another chef.

The Dream Pot of Jollof

Standing beside a 6 by 6-meter pot, Hilda expressed her passion for the challenge:

“Some dreams keep us awake until we make them reality. In 2023, it was the Hilda Baci cook-a-thon that took the world by storm. This year, it’s jollof—the heartbeat of West Africa. A taste that tells our story. It’s more than cooking; it’s a celebration of our food, our culture, music, and us.”

She revealed that this event, in partnership with Gino, will hold on September 12, 2025, at Okunola Park, Victoria Island, Lagos.

“Two years ago, I imagined the largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice the world has ever seen. Today, with Gino—a brand we all grew up with—my dream is becoming a reality. On 12th September 2025, I will be making the largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice with you, because what is my jollof rice without you to enjoy it?”

Social Media Reactions

The news has since gone viral, with fans reacting in their usual witty and humorous style:

peculiar: “My problem is where are you going to stand to turn the jollof rice 😏😩.”

Nyarkoa: “This has already happened in Ghana before.”

1PROMPT (1PM) CUISINE: “She was standing in the pot 😭😭😭.”

pelumib37: “Imagine accidentally falling inside the pot while the Jollof stew is boiling 😩😩.”

Nana: “The amount of Maggie cube will be astonishing.”

Kwansema Quansah: “It’s a WIN for all of us WEST AFRICANS. Proud of you Queen. Love from Ghana 🇬🇭.”

The euphoria from her record has died down. Time for a new record.

Desperately needs it to come back to the limelight. Unfortunately after this, many Nigerians will have a reason to break her record with a pot as big as national theater
