The Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci, who ignited excitement across Africa in 2023, has once again made her way into the record books, Guinnes World Records has confirmed.
This time, her mission is to secure Nigeria’s edge in the long-running Jollof rivalry.
In a statement on Monday, the GWR confirmed that Hilda, who teamed up with Gino Nigeria, prepared a record-breaking 8,780 kg (19,356 lb 9 oz) of Nigerian-style jollof rice last Friday.
The Akwa Ibom-born chef, real name, Hilda Bassey, completed her attempt for the ‘largest pot of jollof rice’ during an eight-hour open cooking session at Eko Hotels and Suites, VI, Lagos.
