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.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
