5 Ways Hilda Baci’s Life Has Changed After This Weekend

If you’ve been disconnected from the internet or unaware of recent events in Nigeria, let me provide you with an update.

A Nigerian chef named Hilda Effiong Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci, embarked on a remarkable mission to break the Guinness World Record for the longest individual cooking time. This was no small feat, as the previous record was set in 2019 by Indian chef Lata Tondon, who held the title for the world’s longest cooking marathon, lasting 87 hours and 45 minutes.

Starting her cooking marathon on May 11th, Baci took up the challenge. As of now, Hilda Baci has already surpassed the previous world record, having cooked for over 96 hours. This achievement is truly remarkable considering the physical demands of staying on her feet for such an extended period, with only minimal breaks permitted.

Nigerians worldwide have rallied behind Hilda, with many individuals showing their support by physically attending the cook-a-thon and enjoying her food.

While there are individuals who fail to recognize the significance of her endeavor and believe that the record can be broken again in the future by someone determined, it’s important to acknowledge that Hilda Baci’s life has already undergone profound changes, regardless of whether the record is broken again in the future.

Here, we outline five ways in which Hilda Baci’s life has already been transformed by this weekend’s events.

1. She Has Gotten National Fame and Notoriety.

It is a well-known fact that marketing poses a significant challenge for any business owner. Gaining visibility and capturing people’s attention can be an arduous task. Prior to undertaking the cook-a-thon, Hilda Baci, like many Nigerians, was relatively unknown to me and others. 

However, following this weekend’s events, her name has become a prominent topic of national discussion, earning recognition from various individuals ranging from everyday citizens to politicians.

2. Her Followers Have Skyrocketed

Prior to initiating the cook-a-thon, netizens estimated that Hilda had less than 100,000 followers. However, in just a few days, her follower count has skyrocketed. 

Starting from 127,000 followers, it quickly surged to 426,000, then further escalated to 727,000, and currently stands at 872,000 followers as of the time of this update. The growth has been phenomenal! At this rate, she is on track to reach and surpass the one-million follower milestone by the end of this week.

3. She is Now Verified

Prior to undertaking the cook-a-thon, Hilda Baci did not possess the level of recognition necessary to obtain verification on Instagram. 

However, following the events of this weekend, Hilda has now attained the verified status on her Instagram account.

4. Her Business Page is Booming

The surge in popularity extends beyond Hilda personally. Her business page, Myfood by Hilda Baci, is also experiencing a substantial increase in followers and customer engagement. 

What was once a relatively unknown venture is now thriving, with an impressive following of over 882,000 individuals.

5. She Broke a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
