Hilda Baci, former holder of a Guinness World Record (GWR) for marathon cooking, is set to cook 250 bags of rice for a new world record for the biggest jollof pot.
Hilda made the plan public on Monday in a trending video shared on her Instagram page.
Analyzing the scale of the project, Hilda explained that she would be using a 22,619-liter pot for the cooking.
Speaking about the cooking process, she said, “I’m making the executive decision to cook 250 bags of basmati rice. The pot is 6 meters wide by 6 meters wide, 1.1 meters tall, and about 1.3 meters deep. I’m sure the pot is not going to sink.”
The event which is set for September 12, 2025, aims to feed 10,000 people.
This came two years after Hilda Baci cooked for 93 hours 11 minutes to break the record for the longest cooking marathon by individual.

Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has opened up about a very depressing heartbreak and how her pain inspired her tattoo.
She shared that she had to fly in the tattoo artist from Los Angeles to her house in Lagos because she didn’t want to express her pain publicly in a tattoo parlor.
In a recent interview with media personality Katy Igwe, Savage disclosed that the session was bloody and the tattoo artist was worried.
“I flew in my tattoo artist from LA to Nigeria. And I did it [the tattoo] in my room. So I was in an environment where I was comfortable. When you are in a tattoo parlour sometimes, a lot of people are working and then you are going through that pain. I wanted to make sure that I was in a comfortable place.
“My tattoo artist walked in and was like, ‘What are you doing?… Is that going to come off?’ He he started tattoo my body, there was blood everywhere. So he was more concerned for me like, ‘What are you trying to do?’
“I did that [the tattoo] from the pain I felt from a heartbreak. I just wanted to do something to scream,” she explained.
Savage added, “Last two years was a very hard time. The relationship I experienced was crazy. I’m so happy I’m out of that relationship.”
