“You Try, But No Try This Nonsense Again” — Man Criticizes Hilda Bassey’s Jollof Record After Tasting It
Reported by Suzan Daniel | Sele Media Africa
Lagos, Nigeria — A Nigerian man has stirred online controversy after publicly criticizing celebrity chef Hilda Bassey’s recent Guinness World Record attempt for cooking the largest pot of jollof rice.
Though the event gained massive attention and applause across social media for its scale and ambition, not everyone was impressed. One attendee, after sampling the jollof rice, shared his disappointment and questioned the impact of such events on Nigeria’s development.
“Hilda Bassey, you try — but next time no try this kind nonsense again for this country. Other countries like Nepal, China and so on are fighting for their destiny, and Nigerian youths are dragging pot of rice,” he said in a now-viral video.While many Nigerians hailed Hilda’s effort as inspiring and patriotic, critics like this man argue that the country should focus more on innovation, employment, and governance reforms rather than food-based record stunts.
The incident has reignited debate around the value of high-profile record-breaking attempts in a country grappling with inflation, unemployment, and insecurity.
