Speaking about her quest while standing beside the 6 by 6 meter pot, she said: “Some dreams keep us awake until we make them reality. In 2023, it was the Hilda Baci cook-a-thon that took the world by storm.”
“This year, it’s jollof, the heartbeat of West Africa. A taste that tells our story. It’s more than cooking; it’s a celebration of our food, our culture, music, and us. We’re making history again, and I want you to be there when it happens.”

She added: “Two years ago, I imagined the largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice the world has ever seen. Today, with Gino, a brand we all grew up with, my dream is becoming a reality. On 12th September 2025, I will be making the largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice in this 6-meter pot, with Gino and with you, because what is my jollof rice without you to enjoy it?”
