Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci has denied reports that she is charging a fee of N25,000 for individuals to meet her in Abuja.
Heraldviews recalls that an e-flier had
surfaced on social media, insinuating that Hilda Baci is demanding N25,000 for
personal meet-ups, live cooking, and food tasting in Abuja on June 24, 2023.
The reported fee ignited outrage on social
media platforms with many Nigerians expressing their disappointment and concern
over what they perceive as an exorbitant charge to meet a chef.
Reacting on her Twitter page, Hilda dismissed
the report saying, “Hi everyone, This is to inform everyone that I’m not doing
any meet and greet in Abuja. I would also never ask anyone to pay for such.
Thanks.”
On May 15, 2023, Hilda Baci achieved a
remarkable feat by surpassing the previous Guinness World Record for the
longest cooking time held by Chef Lata Tondon from Rewa, India in 2019.
The Akwa Ibom chef, not only broke Tondon’s
record of 87 hours and 45 minutes but went on to cook for an astounding 100
hours and 40 minutes, making her the first individual in the world to spend
such an extended duration of time cooking.
Although the Guinness World Record is yet to
officially confirm Hilda Baci as the new record holder for the longest cooking
marathon, the Nigerian chef has engaged in controversial acts that have
triggered widespread criticism and debate within the country.
Heraldviews recalls that Hilda Baci recently
faced backlash after she revealed that she was on her menstrual period during
her cook-a-thon for Guinness World Records.
