In May 2023, the name Hilda Baci entered the mind of Nigerians. She was on course to break the record for the longest cooking marathon, and the entire country was rooting for her. Prior to her celebrity, only a few social media netizens who followed the culinary subculture on Instagram were aware of her infectious grins and voracious enthusiasm for cooking.
Baci smashed the record set by Lata Tondon, an Indian chef, thanks to her careful planning and the overwhelming support of the country. Baci cooked nonstop for 93 hours and 11 minutes, according to the Guinness World Records (GWR). It was an incredible feat, but she did it in front of a crowd of Nigerians cheering her on.
Baci also received numerous awards, endorsement deals, social media recognition, and, most significantly, influence. Shortly after, her accomplishment sparked a frenzy of Nigerians aiming to break the several records recognized by GWR. The trend persisted across industries and ranged from the practical to the absurd.
Baci’s influence, however, did not end with the GWR craze. Her great sense of dress was another draw. The 27-year-old arrived prepared for the seductive flash and glamour of show business.
Her taste for stylish, finely crafted gowns enhances her joie de vivre attitude. Baci slays whatever garment happens to be wrapped around her well-trained physique.
