Hilda Baci begins her challenge to cook world’s largest pot of Jollof Rice
Celebrity chef Hilda Baci has begun her bold attempt to set a new Guinness World Record by cooking the largest pot of jollof rice, using 250 bags of rice for the challenge.
The record-breaking cook, who first captured global attention in 2023 with her longest cooking marathon feat, kicked off this new journey at Eko Hotels, Lagos, where an excited crowd gathered to cheer her on.
Before the cooking began, Hilda shared a heartfelt moment with her mother as they prayed together for strength, protection, and endurance. The touching scene moved many in the audience, who praised her mother for being a strong support system in Hilda’s rise.
Sharing the excitement online, Hilda revealed she personally washed the giant pot, joking that it was spotless and ready to hold thousands of servings of jollof that would make history.
The event, originally scheduled for Muri Okunola Park, had to be moved to Eko Hotels due to the massive interest it drew, with more than 20,000 people registering to witness the milestone.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
