Nigerians have reacted to a plea from Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci to residents of Lagos to come forward and collect food from her recently concluded Guinness World Record attempt for the largest pot of jollof rice.
Baci explained in a video message on Instagram that there was still an excess of food and encouraged people to bring containers to take portions home.
She stated that she would remain at the venue until the giant pot was emptied, stressing that the food must not go to waste.
Reacting to plea, some netizens advised her to distribute it around while others.
