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.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
