Wale busari03 mins

Nigerian chef and content creator Hilda Baci has become a three-time Guinness World Records holder, following her record-breaking jollof rice cook in September 2025. Announcing the achievement on Instagram, Hilda revealed that her jollof rice feat not only set a record for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice but also broke the record for the largest serving of rice overall. This adds to her existing record for the longest cooking marathon, set in 2023, when she spent 93 hours and 11 minutes cooking continuously. The monumental 8,780-kilogram pot of jollof rice was enough to feed over 16,600 people and was officially verified by Guinness World Records on September 15, 2025. In her post, Hilda expressed immense gratitude to her team, Guinness World Records, and supporters: “Woke up a three-time Guinness World Records holder and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. What a way to step into 2026. Five months after the initial record announcement, I discovered that the same day we broke the Guinness World Record for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice, we also set the record for the largest serving of rice overall. What I thought was one record turned out to be two—now officially making three Guinness World Records in total. The first person I called was @oreoluwa_atinmo. This journey, this vision, this record would not have been possible without her. From idea to execution, side by side, fully aligned. God is faithful. Even when you think you’ve seen the full picture, He can still say, ‘There’s more.’ To my incredible team, this is OUR win. Every long day, every detail, every push, it all mattered. To Guinness World Records, thank you for the recognition and for honoring this achievement. And to everyone who supported and believed in us, my heart is so full. Still processing. Still grateful. Still in awe 🤍✨” Hilda’s accomplishment cements her status as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated culinary talents and a global record-breaker.

Nigeria to Attempt Guinness World Record for Longest Dining Table in Abuja

Fola Badmus03 mins

The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to attempt a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest dining table, as part of a landmark cultural and tourism initiative in the nation’s capital. The ambitious record attempt will headline the upcoming ‘Oriki: Taste of Culture’ Gastronomy Festival, featuring a 3.6-kilometre-long dining table stretching through parts of Abuja. Abisoye Fagade, Director-General of the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR), disclosed the plan on Thursday during a briefing attended by Hannatu Musawa, Minister of Art, Culture, and Creative Economy. According to Fagade, the event — scheduled for December 6, 2025 — will host between 2,000 and 3,000 participants and serve a dual purpose: a world record attempt in the morning and a grand communal dining experience in the evening. “We plan to break the record in the morning of December 6 and use the same table for a dining event later. There will be food, culture, music and comedy in the evening,” Fagade said. “It will show that Abuja can also host major cultural events in December.” He explained that the festival aims to strengthen Nigeria’s tourism and hospitality value chain, focusing on skills development, entrepreneurship, and youth empowerment while attracting local and international investors. Minister Musawa endorsed the initiative, describing gastronomy as an emerging driver of economic growth and youth engagement comparable to Nigeria’s film, music, and fashion industries. “When we talk about economic growth and youth development, gastronomy plays a role just like film, music, and fashion. People eat every day, and Nigeria has made significant progress in showcasing its food globally,” she noted. Musawa also commended Nigerian chefs and food entrepreneurs for enhancing the country’s cultural influence through creative cuisine and culinary storytelling. The festival and world record attempt will be formally unveiled by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Abuja. The current Guinness World Record for the longest dining table stands at 3,189.93 meters, achieved in Cairo, Egypt, in 2019. Nigeria’s proposed 3.6-kilometer table would comfortably surpass this milestone if successful.

Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci has been officially presented with her second Guinness World Record plaque, recognizing her achievement for cooking the world’s largest pot of jollof rice. Guinness World Records confirmed that during a Lagos cookout in September, Baci prepared 8,780kg (19,356 pounds) of jollof rice, setting a new global record. This milestone follows her first Guinness recognition in May 2023, when she completed a 93-hour, 11-minute cooking marathon, making her Nigeria’s first chef to hold multiple Guinness World Records. Posting photos of the plaques on Instagram, Baci described the accomplishment as a story of “faith, fire, and history,” celebrating Nigeria’s culinary talent and creativity. “Our plaques are finally here! Two records. Two plaques. One story of faith, fire, and history. Twice, God showed up for me. Twice, we made history for Nigeria. And not just any records—two of the biggest culinary records ever set. Together with Gino, we created something bigger than ourselves, a story that reached over five billion people and reminded the world what’s possible when passion meets purpose. I’m a two-time world record holder, someone pinch me,” she wrote. She also quoted Isaiah 61:7, saying her journey proves that “instead of shame, you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.” Baci’s record-setting jollof rice event attracted more than 20,000 attendees, including food enthusiasts, celebrities, and influencers. In accordance with Guinness standards, all portions of the massive dish were distributed to guests and charitable organizations.
