Renowned celebrity chef Hilda Baci has officially launched her ambitious attempt to set a new Guinness World Record by cooking the world’s largest pot of jollof rice. The culinary star is aiming to prepare the massive dish using an astonishing 250 bags of rice.

Hilda, who shot to international fame in 2023 after breaking the record for the longest cooking marathon, unveiled this new challenge at Eko Hotel, Lagos, where a lively crowd of fans and supporters gathered to witness history in the making.

In a heartfelt moment before the cooking began, Hilda and her mother prayed together, asking for divine strength, protection, and endurance. The touching scene moved many spectators, who hailed her mother as one of the strongest pillars behind her success.

Sharing a glimpse of the preparations, Hilda wrote:
"Yes, I can officially confirm this pot is squeaky clean! I rolled up my sleeves and washed it myself. In just a few hours, this same pot will carry thousands of servings of Nigerian Jollof—history in the making."

The event, originally scheduled to hold at Muri Okunola Park, was relocated to Eko Hotel due to overwhelming public interest, with more than 20,000 people registering to attend.

Mr serious man, I guess you are working 20 hours a day to prove you are a workaholic

I know within first five comments attacks and lamentations will crop up.

Even in USA and other advanced economies, where there more than enough jobs, people still going out to refresh themselves.


World would have been peaceful, if everyone leaved and let others leave.

Most of the attendees are just there because of mere hunger, no sensible person will leave his house for this....

Hygienic keh?

Where are you from? You no get natural immunikoko for belle?

We wouldve eaten if we were in Lagos and nothing will happen.

Oyaaa!
Let the carnival of jollof begin!🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉


Wailers, the floor is yours. 😌

To those asking what will happen to the food, one of the ideas behind this is also to feed the people.
Looking at this setup, how are they planning to stir the rice inside this big pot, and what type of cooker are they planning to use? (gas?, electric fitted to the pot?)

What if bird poops inside while flying as a means of support.

Nah you think say they’re jobless..

That they’re not working 9-5 doesn’t mean they’re jobless..

Is she using gas or charcoal? How dem wan turn the rice? 250 bags is like half a truck of rice.

Rice alone, 250 bags will cost over ₦20m

Enough jellof rice to probably feed a whole state.

Let assume...50,000*250=12,500,000

Just for Rice
Is she going to sell the rice after cooking it

Award is coming from Lagos State government Sha gate fee

Come back to Nigeria and have a bit of fun, so that you can know what it feels like to live again.

On a norms, Nigerians no too send hardship.
One thing they'll do is live and enjoy their lives.

We're like Brazilians in nature.
