Nigerian chef and social media sensation Hilda Baci has secured another Guinness World Record, this time for preparing the largest-ever serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice weighing an impressive 8,780 kilograms (19,356 pounds).
The record-breaking culinary feat took place on Victoria Island in Lagos, where Baci and her team worked with industrial equipment to process thousands of kilograms of rice, tomatoes, oils, and spices in a giant pot under official Guinness World Records supervision.
The achievement was confirmed after officials verified the final weight on site, with the massive serving carefully transferred to weighing stations for certification. The event attracted large crowds and generated significant social media attention as images and videos of the monumental cooking effort circulated online.
Supporters have celebrated the record as a cultural milestone for Nigeria in the light-hearted but passionate West African jollof rice rivalry, with many hailing it as a symbolic victory for Nigerian cuisine.
This latest accomplishment solidifies Baci’s status as a record-breaking chef, having first gained international recognition in 2023 when she set the record for the longest cooking marathon, sparking a trend of culinary record attempts across Africa.
The achievement adds another chapter to jollof rice’s story as a continental culinary touchstone while providing Nigeria with a headline-grabbing entry in the global record books.
