Reactions have trailed the moment Hilda Baci’s jollof pot collapsed during her new Guinness World Record, GWR, attempt.
The Nigerian chef on Friday, September 12, attempted the GWR for the largest jollof rice pot in Lagos State.
A dramatic scene, however, occurred as her massive cooking pot unexpectedly collapsed while being lifted for weighing.
Given the importance of scaling in validating Baci’s record attempt by GWR after a successful cooking, a crane was brought to lift the gigantic 22,619-litre pot to determine its weight together with the rice.
After the pot suddenly gave way under its weight during the process, the crane operator was instructed to halt the lift to prevent further damage.
The incident, which happened on Friday night, leaves uncertainty about the official submission to the GWR, as the final measurement of the pot is essential to certify Baci’s attempt.
DAILY POST reports that Hilda Baci had, during her analysis, announced that she would be cooking 250 bags of rice.

@khykheloormuur said, “Kaaaiii, after all that effort? Didn’t the engineers that made that pot put into consideration that 200bags of rice will weigh more than 10tonnes without the condiments added? Omoor, we are anyhow in this country”.
