Nigerian Celebrity chef, Hilda Baci has announced plans to cook the world’s largest pot of jollof rice on September 12, 2025, at Muri Okunola Park, Lagos.
She revealed the six-meter-wide and six-meter-high pot has been two years in the making, adding that the event will also serve as a cultural festival celebrating Nigerian food, music, and community.
“In 2023, the Hilda Baci cookathon took the world by storm. This year, it is Jollof, the heartbeat of West Africa,”
“A taste that tells our story. It is more than cooking, it is a celebration of our food, our culture, our music, and us. We are making history again, and I want you to be there when it happens.
“Two years ago, I imagined the largest pot of Nigerian Jollof rice the world had ever seen. Today, with Gino, a brand we all grew up with, my dream is becoming a reality.
“Hi, I am Hilda Baci, and on September 12, 2025 I will be making the largest pot of Nigerian Jollof rice the world has ever seen in this six meters by six meters pot, of course with my Gino and you. Because what is my Gino without you to enjoy it?” She said.
