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.
Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.
Sandra has spoken out and broken her silence on the alleged affair involving Chike. She shared that she was faithful throughout her marriage and claimed that only Frank Edoho cheated.
Sandra revealed that Frank allegedly cheated multiple times and even claimed that a particular woman was frequently seen around their home, stating that he was definitely involved with her.
She also stated that she has evidence against Frank, including receipts from hotels and places where he allegedly met with his dates.
Popular singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy have reportedly released “Daidia,” a song linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It was also noted that the two artists are expected to perform during the event, and the song for the occasion has now been released.
This will not be the first time Shakira will perform for the World Cup. Whenever her name is mentioned, many people remember “Waka Waka,” the iconic World Cup song released for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Many fans are already excited and cannot wait to see the live performance on the big stage.
