Nigerian chef and entrepreneur Hilda Baci has once again set social media abuzz after revealing that she broke two Guinness World Records on the same day, officially becoming a three time record holder as she steps into 2026.

Hilda made the announcement on Tuesday via her X page, sharing her excitement with followers as reactions poured in across social media. 

“Checked my email this morning and found out I actually broke TWO records on the same day. Now officially a 3 time Guinness World Records holder. What a way to enter 2026,” she wrote, tagging Guinness World Records and describing the moment as special.

According to the email from Guinness World Records, Hilda’s record for the “Largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice” also qualified her automatically for another global title, “Largest serving of rice,” making her a three-time Guinness World Records holder.

The email, signed by Andrew Fanning, Head of Client Partnering at Guinness World Records, congratulated Hilda and explained that the second record was awarded proactively after internal comparison of record criteria. The message described her as “Officially Amazing (again),” a phrase that has since gone viral among her supporters.

Almost immediately, Nigerians and fans from across the world took to social media to celebrate the latest milestone. Many praised Hilda’s consistency and discipline, describing her as a symbol of focus and global excellence. Others expressed curiosity, eagerly waiting for Guinness World Records to formally publish the categories of the newly achieved records.

Popular entertainers, food enthusiasts and influencers joined the conversation, reposting her announcement and congratulating her for continuing to place Nigeria on the global map. Several fans noted that Hilda’s latest achievement shows she is not slowing down after her initial global breakthrough.

The excitement was also driven by the timing of the announcement. With the new year already underway, many described her accomplishment as a strong opening statement for 2026, reinforcing her reputation as one of Nigeria’s most internationally recognised culinary figures.

Hilda Baci first rose to international prominence after completing a record breaking cookathon that captured global attention and sparked conversations about Nigerian cuisine. Since then, she has expanded her brand beyond the kitchen, becoming a sought after speaker, entrepreneur and cultural ambassador for African food.

Her journey with Guinness World Records has remained a major reference point in her career. Each recognition has further cemented her place in history, not only as a chef but as a Nigerian woman pushing boundaries on a global stage.

While Guinness World Records is yet to release an official breakdown of the two newly confirmed records, Hilda’s message indicates that the confirmation came directly from the organisation. Fans expect formal documentation and details to follow in the coming days, as is customary with Guinness announcements.

Hilda Baci first captured global attention with her historic cookathon, but her relationship with Guinness World Records has continued to evolve since then. Each recognition has strengthened her brand, positioning her not just as a chef, but as a cultural figure whose work resonates far beyond food.

With three Guinness World Records now officially attached to her name, Hilda’s journey continues to inspire conversations around discipline, preparation and global representation. Industry watchers note that her ability to turn a single attempt into multiple recognised achievements reflects both strategic planning and world-class execution.

As reactions continue to pour in, Hilda has maintained a tone of gratitude, acknowledging Guinness World Records while allowing the milestone to speak for itself. The confirmation email has now become a defining document in her career, closing the gap between speculation and official recognition.

For many Nigerians, the moment represents more than records. It is another instance of local excellence receiving global validation, with Hilda Baci once again at the centre of the conversation.
