Hilda Baci Plans to Cook the World’s Biggest Pot of Jollof Rice in Lagos
Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci is set to return to the spotlight with another bold challenge by cooking the largest pot of Jollof rice ever made. The record attempt is scheduled for September 12, 2025, at Muri Okunola Park, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The star chef, who captured global attention in 2023 with her marathon cooking challenge, revealed that this new project has been on her mind for nearly two years. According to her, the idea started as a dream to showcase Jollof rice on a grand scale, and now it’s about to become reality.
At the heart of the plan is a specially designed pot, six metres wide and six metres tall, big enough to hold thousands of portions of Jollof. Videos of the pot’s construction have already gone viral online, with fans marveling at the size and creativity behind it. Also, Hilda teamed up with Gino to make the project possible.
To ensure everything goes smoothly, Hilda and her team recently carried out a test run. The practice session gave them a chance to figure out how such a huge meal will be cooked, stirred, and served on the big day.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
