Celebrity chef Hilda Baci began her attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest pot of jollof rice at Eko Hotel in Lagos. The ambitious project requires 250 bags of rice, following her 2023 achievement when she set the record for the longest cooking marathon. Thousands of supporters gathered to witness the historic cooking endeavor.
Before beginning the challenge, Baci and her mother shared a prayer moment, seeking divine guidance and strength for the demanding task ahead. Spectators responded with enthusiastic cheers as they watched the emotional scene unfold. Many attendees recognized her mother as a vital source of support throughout Baci's culinary career. The chef personally cleaned the massive cooking vessel before the attempt commenced.
Organizers relocated the event from Muri Okunola Park after more than 20,000 people registered to attend. The overwhelming public interest required the larger venue to accommodate the anticipated crowd safely.
