Hilda Baci Begins Cooking Largest Pot of Jollof in World Record Attempt
Celebrity chef Hilda Baci has officially begun her latest Guinness World Record attempt by starting the cooking of what is set to become the largest pot of jollof rice ever made. The event kicked off with her pouring the first ingredient, groundnut oil, into the massive pot, signaling the beginning of what promises to be a historic moment for Nigerian cuisine.
Hilda, who has already gained international recognition for her 100-hour cook-a-thon in 2023, is once again capturing the attention of millions. This time, she is accompanied by her mother, who has been a strong source of support throughout her journey. Her family’s presence highlights the personal dedication and teamwork behind this ambitious culinary challenge.
The atmosphere at the venue was filled with excitement as large crowds gathered to witness the record-breaking attempt. Nigerians from all walks of life turned up to cheer her on, while several celebrities also made appearances to show their support. The event has quickly become a cultural celebration, drawing both local and international attention.
According to reports, Hilda Baci plans to cook around 250 bags of rice to achieve the record for the largest pot of jollof rice. This massive task is not only about breaking records but also about showcasing the cultural importance of jollof rice as a dish that unites communities across Africa.
Originally, the event was scheduled to take place at Muri Okunola Park in Lagos. However, due to the growing size of the crowd and the need for a more prestigious venue, it was moved to the Eko Hotel car park. The new location offers a larger stage and better facilities, making it suitable for what is expected to be one of Nigeria’s biggest cultural events of the year.
Beyond the Guinness World Record attempt, the festival has been designed as a celebration of African identity and creativity. Guests will enjoy food exhibitions, cultural showcases, live entertainment, and interactive experiences that highlight the rich heritage of jollof rice. The event is not only about cooking but also about telling a story of resilience, pride, and unity.
Hilda Baci’s journey has continued to inspire many young Nigerians who see her as a role model for breaking barriers and chasing dreams with determination. Her bold attempt at this record is another reminder that Nigerian talents can shine on the global stage while preserving cultural identity.
With the event already making headlines, anticipation is growing as the world watches to see if Hilda Baci will once again inscribe her name in the Guinness World Records. Regardless of the outcome, her effort has already placed Nigerian food culture in the global spotlight, turning this into a moment of pride for the entire nation.
