Congratulations to Hilda Baci who has been presented with her certificate as a Guinness World Records ICON. Celebrity chef Hilda from Nigeria broke the Guinness World Records title for the longest cooking marathon in May 2023. Her 93 hour and 11 minute attempt took social media by storm and inspired others in Nigeria to be part of it and attempt a record of their own resulting in thousands of applications in the months that followed.

The impact Hilda’s attempt had on record-breaking from not just Nigeria, but other countries in Africa was profound and her influence still lives on to this day. Hilda achieved a second and third record titles in 2025 for the largest serving of jollof rice and overall largest serving of rice, weighing in at 8,780 kilograms (19,356 lb 9 oz).

Chef Hilda Baci cooked up such a storm she became a Guinness World Records ICON and will be featured in the upcoming #GWR2027 book.

"Being named a Guinness World Records ICON means so much more to me than holding a title. It represents resilience, passion, discipline, and the power of dreaming boldly.
What started as a personal challenge became something that inspired millions of people around the world, and that is incredibly humbling. I’m deeply grateful to Guinness World Records for recognising not just the achievement, but the impact and journey behind it."

What happened to that her restaurant again where she sells one spoon of jollof rice for ₦22,000

She's selling her brand not the food.

Nice one.

But it seems the craze for attaining a Guinness World Record has died down. A couple of years ago, it was absolute madness...every Tom, Dick, and Harry wanted to set a Guinness World Record.

Nigerians realised it's all scam. There are places you can buy same type of rice or better ones at less than half that prize. It's food afterall.

it usually start with hype and bragging. You will see ladies with Opay account balance of ₦890, posting pictures of how they prefer eating at Hilda Bacci, just to attract men and make their fellow empty heads jealous.

Bobloco:
Nice one.

Nigeria has humbled many Nigerians who has such ambitions.

I'm aware that the Guinness records used to give a cash reward along with the certificate.
Is this still in practice?

The OG private chef

Pple that can afford aren't complaining, so instead of wasting ur energy focus on eating ur 200 naira per plate food while those who can afford her restaurant continue to patronize her.

When are going to the moon 😥😢😥

Na "brand" people dey buy abi food?

Una dey talk for this country o

Gbadugbakun:

If it's on social media everyone has a right to talk about it.

If not let her only show it to the "people that can afford it"

Stupîd classism

Seriously. Once they put pop, chandeliers and colour bulbs, suddenly it's "luxury" and you start hearing exorbitant prices.

And then you see the lapping dogs on social media saying "people that can afford it don't complain"

Like what justify a plate of rice for 22k? Is it special rice or special oil?
