Nigerian culinary sensation Hilda Baci is back with yet another headline-making challenge, but this time she’s trading marathon cooking for a cultural celebration that promises to unite food lovers across the country.
On Friday, September 12, all eyes will be on Muri Okunola Park as Hilda partners with culinary giant Gino Naija, makers of the beloved Gino Tomato Paste, for the Gino World Jollof Festival.
The goal? To set a new Guinness World Record for the largest pot of jollof rice ever made using a massive pot that is 6 meters wide and 6 meters tall.
For many Nigerians, jollof rice is more than just a meal. It’s a dish tied to culture, identity, and celebration. That’s why this partnership between Hilda Baci and Gino is more than just a record attempt.
It’s a fusion of passion, heritage, and brand storytelling. With tomatoes at the heart of every jollof recipe, Gino’s sponsorship feels like the perfect match, anchoring the brand to a dish that every Nigerian feels emotionally connected to.
This isn’t Hilda’s first time chasing history. In May 2023, she captured global attention when she cooked her way into the Guinness World Records by completing the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
That remarkable feat turned her into a household name, inspiring millions while placing Nigerian cuisine on the global map.
Now, with the Gino World Jollof Festival, Hilda is taking things to the next level. Beyond endurance, she’s showcasing culture.
This challenge reflects her evolution from a global culinary star to a cultural ambassador, reinforcing her influence both at home and abroad.
As the countdown begins, food lovers and fans alike are gearing up for a day of flavor, festivity, and record-breaking history.
