Pictures – Hilda Baci turns 30, reflects on milestones, gratitude

Published

on

Celebrity chef and multiple Guinness World Record holder, Hilda Baci, has marked her 30th birthday with a heartfelt reflection, describing the new decade as a fresh beginning filled with gratitude and strength.

“This is 30, and it feels like stepping into a brand-new book, not just another chapter,” she shared on Instagram on Saturday.

“I carry every lesson, every tear, every win with me, but I walk forward lighter, stronger, and overflowing with gratitude to God. The woman I’ve prayed to be is the woman I’m becoming.”

Her birthday comes on the heels of yet another groundbreaking achievement. On September 15, 2025, Baci set a new Guinness World Record for preparing the largest serving of Nigerian-style Jollof rice. The monumental feat saw her and her team cook a pot weighing 8,000 kg (approximately 17,637 lbs), an event that drew thousands of spectators in Lagos.

The confirmation from Guinness World Records solidified her place as a trailblazer in Nigerian culinary history. This latest record builds on her earlier accomplishment in May 2023, when she cooked continuously for 93 hours and 11 minutes to set the record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual — an achievement that earned her international recognition and widespread media coverage.

Baci’s remarkable journey has not only placed Nigerian cuisine on the global map but also inspired millions across Africa and beyond. As she steps into a new decade, her personal reflection mirrors the resilience, ambition, and gratitude that have defined her career so far.

Popular Nollywood actress cum filmmaker, Ruth Kadiri, has spoken about why she separates her private lifestyle from her professional life.

It was reports that, with over a decade in the movie industry, little is known about Ruth Kadiri’s private life.

Aside from being married to an unknown husband and the couple welcoming two kids between 2019 and 2022, the thespian has never shared a photo of her husband on social media, but only posts pictures of their children on their birthdays.

In an interview with media personality, Jay OnAir, the mother of two stated that the last thing she wants to do is to lose herself in the process of being an entertainer.

Ruth Kadiri explained that she cherishes her private life so much because she wants to keep the wealth of happiness or fulfilment for herself while building her career.

The filmmaker added that she would not allow anyone to sway her into putting her private lifestyle on public display.

She said, “The last thing I want to do as a person is to lose myself in the process of being an entertainer. I need to be able to keep the wealth of happiness or fulfilment for myself whist growing and building what I want to build. And I’m not going to let anybody sway me.”

Published

on

Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has cautioned her fans to be alert following the creation of fake social media accounts.

According to her, the account is using her name to deceive people with a false UK job offer.

It was reports that the veteran actress took to her verified Instagram page to inform her followers that she has not asked anyone for money or personal details through any other account apart from her official one.

She made it clear that a post recently shared in her name about job opportunities in the United Kingdom was fake and should be ignored.

Bukky Wright expressed concern that some people may have already fallen victim to the scam and urged her supporters to immediately report and block any suspicious accounts pretending to be her.

She wrote: “Dear friends and supporters, Please be cautious of fake accounts pretending to be me. I never requested for money. Then, I will never request for personal information or private chat on any other account. This is my main page!

“If you receive any suspicious messages or offers, kindly report and block those accounts immediately.

“NB: A post was made on my account offering a job vacancy in UK and in turn we realize was fraudulent please disregard!!!”

The 58-year-old actress, known for her roles in movies like Omotara Johnson, Red Hot, and Unforgivable, joins the growing list of Nigerian celebrities warning their followers about online impersonation.

Her warning comes shortly after actress Iyabo Ojo also spoke out about a fake Facebook account operated by a blogger impersonating her.

Nollywood Actor, Williams Uchemba Demands Public Execution Of Kidnappers

Published

on

Nollywood actor, Williams Uchemba, has called for public execution of convicted kidnappers in Nigeria.

It was reports that the thespian made the call in the wake of kidnappings happening in the country, and many have expressed fear as the yuletide draws closer.

In a video shared on his Instagram page on Friday, Williams argued that if people do not see the consequences of crimes such as kidnapping, the crime rate will continue to flourish.

The film star also cited China, stating that the capital punishment for kidnapping and corruption in the country is death.

In his words, “When a child begins to steal meat from the mother’s pot and the mother upon catching the child does very little in terms of punishment or showing the child this is the consequences of this, what the mother is doing is she is breeding a hardened criminal that will eventually grow up and even destroy her own life or become a national disgrace to the family.

“We have a constitution that governs this country and I do not see why when it is time to execute that constitution, we are not as vocal as we should be.

“The capital punishment for kidnapping is death. Some of these kidnappers are caught. We don’t hear anything whether they are being imprisoned or executed. If you ask me, there should be a dedicated Channel just like BBNaija that is dedicated to catching some of these people that do these things and are publicly executed because until we start executing consequences to certain actions, we cannot see the results.

“We want to be like China but we do not have the balls that China has. The punishment for kidnapping and corruption in China is death.”
