Celebrity chef, Guinness World Record holder, and social media sensation, Hilda Baci, has issued a heartfelt and urgent appeal to residents of Lagos, urging them to come and collect the leftover plates of food from her recent world record-breaking cooking event. The event, which took place at the prestigious Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos, saw Hilda attempting to set a new Guinness World Record, drawing large crowds and widespread media attention from across the country.
Despite the meticulous planning, packaging, and distribution of the food prepared during the event, a significant quantity of food remained unused. Hilda, concerned about waste and determined to ensure that the culinary efforts were fully appreciated, reached out to the public to take advantage of the surplus.
Hilda Baci Appeals to Lagosians to Bring Coolers
In a series of posts on her social media platforms, Hilda implored her fans, well-wishers, and the general public to bring coolers and containers to the event venue in order to collect the remaining food. The chef emphasized that the food was still plentiful, freshly prepared, and should not be wasted under any circumstances.
She stated, “There’s still food, please you guys come and get it. It’s a lot and I can’t waste it. The food is good, so come with your cooler. We still have so much left, even after all the packaging. The venue is Eko Hotels, and I won’t leave this place until everybody in Lagos has tasted this food.”
Hilda’s call to action quickly gained traction online, attracting thousands of engagements and comments as her followers debated and shared their reactions to the generous offer and the logistics of collecting the food.

Netizens flooded social media with mixed reactions, ranging from excitement and praise to constructive criticism and suggestions for broader distribution.

Rexymania said: “Carry ma come mainland.”
sprints1 commented: “Simple thing: call Naija yeyebrities to leave their buses or cars for their driver and they should drive the food in plenty coolers. If she sees 30 vehicles with 10 big coolers, the food will finish. They should take to mainland suburbs like Egbeda, Mushin, Paja, Orile, Agege, Ogba, Somolu, Shitta – the food will finish.”
OgbeniOja1 said: “All the ebin pawas and hungry omoluabis should pls take great advantage of this offer ooooo. I’m sure na the major reason for situating it in Lasgidi. The cosmopolitan state. Poverty alleviation that is effective.”
OgbeniOja1 further stated: “Oshodi, Yaba and Ojuelegba boys will appreciate it. Then all those people seeing shege at Ago Palace, Ejigbo, and Ikotun down to Igando. Hunger deyshaaaa. Then some should be exported to Ogun at Mowe and Osun state, most especially at Irabiji.”
ednut1 reacted: “Lets be honest, this was unnecessary and badly planned. They could have taken it to Jakande, Lekki, or motherless babies homes.”
