The historic Jollof rice cooking, done and dusted, Nigerians and non Nigerians eagerly await results that show a world record was achieved by Chief Hilda Baci.
The large and excited crowd made up of fans, foodies, celebrities and social media influencers, cheered Baci September 12, 2025 as she attempted a Guinness World Record for the biggest pot of jollof rice ever. They were with her from 12 noon Friday to 4am Saturday morning. People say that’s true definition of having faith in her culinary skills.
Baci didn’t disappoint as she and her team cooked up a storm with the aroma permeating the environment where the historic endeavour took place.
Although the massive 6×6-meter pot, for the expedition caved in slightly as they tried to lift it for measurements, an important step for Baci’s record-breaking attempt, the Jollof rice was not affected.
