Peller Reacts to Hilda Baci’s Jollof Rice Record, Says Nigerians’ Hunger Was Exposed

Nigerian TikToker and Live Streamer, Peller has shared his reaction to Hilda Baci’s Guinness World Record attempt for the largest pot of jollof rice, noting that the event highlighted the level of hunger in the country.

Speaking about the massive turnout, Peller recounted how a friend traveled all the way from Ikorodu to Eko Hotel just to attend the cooking marathon, joking that the trip was motivated by the lure of free food seasoning.

“Hilda Baci’s record for the biggest pot of jollof made me realise how hungry Nigerians are. My friend came all the way from Ikorodu to that event because of maggi,” Peller said.

The remark has since gone viral, sparking conversations online about food insecurity, poverty, and the lengths many Nigerians go in search of free meals. While Hilda Baci’s record-breaking attempt was a celebration of Nigerian cuisine, Peller’s comment underscores the socio-economic struggles many citizens continue to face.
