Highlights of Hilda Baci’s Giant Pot of Jollof Rice Event in Lagos
Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci once again proved her flair for pulling crowds after hosting a special jollof rice event in Lagos. Known for her Guinness World Record-breaking cook-a-thon in 2023, Hilda gathered fans, food lovers, and well-wishers around what became a massive feast built around Nigeria’s most beloved dish.
The event, which took place at Amore Gardens in Lekki, saw Hilda and her team prepare a giant pot of jollof rice that quickly became the star of the day. With music, dancing, and a vibrant display of Nigerian culture, the gathering turned into more than just a food festival.
Attendees were treated not only to plates of smoky, flavorful jollof but also to a lively atmosphere featuring DJs, entertainers, and performances that kept the energy high. Social media buzzed throughout the day, as photos and videos of the giant pot circulated online, drawing admiration from people across Nigeria and beyond.
Hilda made sure to interact with fans, take photos, and speak about the importance of food as a unifying force in Nigeria. She also highlighted her passion for showcasing Nigerian cuisine on a global stage, noting that dishes like jollof rice deserve recognition far beyond West Africa. The event also had a charitable angle. Portions of the food were shared with communities in need.
