Hilda Baci (Hilda Effiong Bassey) has shared bright photos to mark a new honour. The chef has received her Guinness World Records plaque for the world’s biggest pot of jollof rice.
Her update follows months of checks after the bold Lagos cook. Guinness had already confirmed the feat and set the record in public posts. See our report here on Guinness confirms biggest jollof record.
In her caption, Baci kept the tone proud and calm. She wrote that she is “a two-time Guinness World Record holder” and thanked fans for steady support. Her feed quickly filled with kind words and short cheers.
The chef’s journey to this point drew huge eyes this year. She planned the cook for weeks and moved it to a larger site to hold the crowd. The push brought star guests, loud chants, and wide online buzz.
How the jollof record was set
Baci led a large kitchen team at Eko Hotel in Lagos. They cooked through the night and served thousands of plates with strict counts.
Guinness later published the verified weight of the pot. The body listed the exact figure and the Lagos site for the cook.
The new plaque now sits as proof of that long push. It shows the chef’s skill, grit, and care with food safety rules. It also stamps her name on a record tied to a loved West African dish.
Baci first rose to global fame with a long cook in 2023. That marathon later fell to a fresh holder after a tougher run. Still, the chef stayed focused and built a new clear mark.
Her team says the plaque crowns a year of work and hope. Partners who backed the cook have also sent in good notes. The chef’s page shows more smiles as friends share warm lines.
Fans recall her calm way with big stakes and noise. Many say the plaque fits a story of steady growth and bold plans. Others point to how she kept the event neat and safe.
In recent weeks, Baci has also used her reach to give back. She sent funds to a justice drive tied to a late schoolgirl case. Read our Hilda Baci charity drive update for details.
What the plaque means now
For Baci, the plaque locks in a clean win that fans can see. For young cooks, it shows that careful plans and teamwork can pay off.
The chef closed her note with thanks and a hint of more work. She says there is more to build, and the kitchen lights stay on
