Guinness World Records also announced the achievement on its official X account, with a post that read, “New record: Largest serving of Nigerian style jollof rice – 8,780 kg (19,356 lb 9 oz) achieved by Hilda Baci and Gino in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.”
The event, which took place on Friday, drew a large crowd of supporters, celebrities, and food enthusiasts.
Nollywood actress Funke Akindele joined Baci on stage to “stir the tomato base for the rice,” while the First Lady of Ogun State, Bamidele Abiodun, was also present.
According to Baci, she used 200 bags of rice because the “measuring crane and scale designed to weigh the final dish” had a limit of 20,000 kilograms.
She told newsmen, “If you notice, when we started, we weighed the pot, and we need to weigh every single thing that goes into the pot when we’re done… The goal was that by the time I was done making 5,000 kilogrammes, I was hoping to achieve about 17,000 to 18,000 kilogrammes. Right now, if I include the weight of the pot, that’s about 20,000.”
