Hilda Baci Ends Cooking Marathon in Lagos After One-Day Feast

Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Effiong Baci has officially concluded her latest cooking marathon in Lagos, which began on Friday, September 12, 2025, and ended in the early hours of Saturday, September 13.

The event drew massive attention as Hilda and her team prepared large quantities of food, including a giant pot of Jollof rice that excited the crowd. At one point, the leg of the pot bent under the weight of the rice, but her team quickly managed the situation and continued serving.

Videos circulating online show the moment the meals were packed into coolers as supporters cheered.

Shortly after, Hilda announced she was done and even washed her massive pot, inviting people to share in the food.

The marathon attracted a lively crowd in Lagos, with fans, celebrities, and well-wishers turning up to show support.

Social media was equally buzzing, with hashtags such as #GoHilda and #HistoryMade trending throughout the day.

Hilda, who became a household name after breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon in May 2023, once again reminded Nigerians of her resilience and passion.

Though official record-keeping bodies are yet to confirm this latest attempt, many already see it as another remarkable achievement in her culinary journey.
