A light-hearted drama has trailed popular Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci, after her cooking pot reportedly broke during her much-publicised Jollof rice preparation, sparking a wave of humorous reactions online.
Among those who waded into the incident was Ossai Ovie Success, Special Assistant on Media to the Delta State Governor, who took to his Facebook page to express his disappointment in the development.
According to Ossai, while Nigerians had expected Hilda to break a Guinness World Record, it was ironically her cooking pot that gave way.
“I am disappointed in Hilda Baci’s pot of Jollof rice. Instead of her breaking the record, she’s ended up breaking the pot. All break na break,” he wrote.
The aide went further in jest, suggesting that whoever manufactured the pot should be held responsible for failing the celebrity chef at a crucial moment.
“The person who made the pot should be arrested for disappointing Hilda. Now her chances of getting Guinness World Records is shaking,” he added.
The post has since generated mixed reactions from social media users, with many joining Ossai in making jokes about the broken pot, while others defended Hilda’s resilience and focus on her craft.
Hilda Baci, who gained international recognition in 2023 for setting the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon, has remained a household name in Nigeria’s culinary and entertainment space. Her latest attempt, despite the pot mishap, continues to attract widespread attention and support from fans nationwide.
