In a recent podcast appearance alongside fellow Ghanaians, Nigerian chef Hilda Baci expressed her opinion on the popular Ghanaian dish, jollof rice, claiming that it lacks flavor.

Chef Hilda Baci, known for breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time, shared her views on Ghanaian jollof during a discussion about a past jollof competition between Nigeria and Ghana.

The chef reminisced about the competition, proudly stating that she emerged victorious, and emphasized her disappointment with the taste of the Ghanaian jollof.

According to Chef Baci, despite being a competition where each participant put forward their best attempt, the Ghanaian jollof she sampled had no discernible flavor.

She asserted that having tasted the dish, she was confident it represented the best effort of her Ghanaian counterpart.

Netizens Reactions…

@TheDoublestar_: “I overheard someone saying Ghanaians don’t understand good English. And I thought it was a joke but I’m here to comfirm because wtf. What Hilda said is true and I see no insult I’m what she said so why are they quoting with negative write up?”

@tobyasky: “Hope you know she’s done a lot of things before GWR? Hope you also know she runs a restaurant in Lagos? Do you know what that means? By the way, Nigerian jollof > Ghana Jollof. I can send you different versions of Ghana Jollof I’ve eaten. They’re really nice but Nigerian Jollof.”

@14_Jersey_: “Ah this girl no dey pect how u go compare Nigerian Jollof wey dey look Sand to Ghana Jollof ah ah.”

@BongoIdeas: “Tell Hilda Baci that she should focus on hiding her not-so pretty face under makeup. At least Ghana jollof has more flavour than her no-make up face if she reveals it. She should focus on shaking her hard ass and taking bisexual kisses cos right now, that’s her only record!”

@Ahlexmoralex: “Wait we go come. Back to una we still dey deal with South Africa. Shey that una rice we be like una pidgin English.. upside down?”

@NkechiKwenu: “LOL Ghanians stay pressed over us. I agree with Baci, tasting Ghana jollof is like eating white rice while someone screams “JOLLOF!!” in the next room.”
