In a joyful Instagram post, celebrity chef Hilda Baci disclosed that her record-breaking jollof rice dish in September 2025, has made her a three-time Guinness World Records holder.
Hilda has broken three records so far in the last few years.
The chef broke her first record in 2023 for the longest cooking marathon, with a total of 93 hours and 11 minutes of nonstop cooking.
Similarly, she achieved another record on September 12, 2025, at the World Jollof Festival in Lagos State, in collaboration with Gino Nigeria. The event drew thousands of attendees, including celebrities and dignitaries.
This recent big pot jollof rice cooking, which weighed about 8,780 kg, also earned her record for the largest serving of rice overall.
Celebrating this recent achievement, Hilda expressed gratitude to Guinness World Records, stating that her jollof rice feat has added another record to her career, emerging as largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice.
She also appreciated her team, and everyone who supported her, describing these wins as God’s faithfulness in her life.
She wrote: “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.
“This morning, I was just doing my usual routine, casually scrolling through my emails, when I saw the message come in. I was shocked and happy at the same time, completely caught off guard. Five months after the initial record announcement, I was just finding out that there was more.
“When I and @ginonaija broke the Guinness World Record for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice, I thought that was it. What I didn’t know, until now, is that on that same day, we had also broken the record for the largest serving of rice overall. So what I thought was one record… turned out to be two. And now, officially, that makes three Guinness World Records in total.
“The very first person I called was @oreoluwa_atinmo , because this journey, this vision, and this record would not have been possible without her. We did this together. From idea to execution, side by side, fully aligned. Sharing that moment with her made everything feel real.
“Honestly, God is faithful. The kind of faithful that still surprises you. This feels like such a beautiful reminder that even when you think you’ve seen the full picture, God can still say, “There’s more.” What a blessing, and what a way to enter this new year.
“To my incredible team, this is OUR win. Every long day, every detail, every push, it all mattered. To Guinness World Records, @guinnessworldrecords thank you for the recognition and for honoring this achievement. And to everyone who supported, believed, and stood with us, my heart is so full. Still processing. Still grateful. Still in awe”.
