Hilda Baci Begins Jollof Rice Festival with Gino Today at Eko Hotel

Hilda Baci, Guinness World Record holder in cook-a-thon begins her much anticipated  Jollof Rice festival with Gino with larger pot today at Eko Hotels in Lagos.

Hilda wants to cook 250 bags of rice in a massive 22,619-liter pot on Friday, the 12th of September 2025, in Lagos!

Hilda Baci has announced a change in her cooking location for Friday’s Jollof Rice Festival with Gino

According to Hilda, this change is necessitated by the unexpected number of registrations received.

The previous venue was estimated to accept about 3,000 attendees but over 20,000 people registered to attend the festival on site, hence the need for the change for security and space for everyone.

The new venue is now Eko Hotel and Suites.

Hilda assures everyone that the festival is free and all meals will be free too.

She is ready once again and excited as she gears up to break the Guinness World Record for cooking the Largest Pot of Nigerian Jollof rice.
