Last week Saturday I had the honor of celebrating my mother’s “50th.” It came five years late but it was right on time. At 55, God allowed me to give her the kind of celebration we couldn’t afford back then, and I feel so blessed to have done it while she’s alive, strong, and able to truly enjoy it. When I think of where we’re coming from a time when my mom was embarrassed, looked down upon, even disgrace and now I see her smiling, radiant, celebrated and honored, my heart overflows with gratitude. God has truly lifted her. @theowambecompany understood my vision and brought it to life in every detail @the.esiaga told our story with such emotion that I found myself reliving every moment. @kanzysmith mc/hype man extraordinaire well done This wasn’t just a birthday. It was a testimony. A celebration of life, resilience, grace, and God’s faithfulness. 🙏🏽❤️
Guys!! This morning I woke up to the sweetest surprise from my mum 😭❤️ She went all out: printed shirts, teamed up with a content creator, and came up with her own unique way to promote me. This is the woman I’ve had by my side my whole life. My biggest cheerleader. My forever supporter. Not just for me, but for all her many children (and trust me, there are a lot of us 😅 So when people ask me, “Hilda, how do you come up with these crazy, incredible ideas?” my answer is simple: I got it from my mother. And now guess what? Her daughter, yes me 😏, is about to cook the largest pot of jollof rice the world has ever seen with my amazing @ginonaija! I need you all to pull up in your numbers. Let’s make this historic. Let’s make my mum proud again. Mummy, @c.a.l.a.b.a.r_p.o.t this one’s for you. Thank you for being my strength, my inspiration, my everything. I love you endlessly. ❤️
Every historic achievement starts with preparation, and last week Friday, we took a major step toward history. Carried out the first dry run for the largest pot of Nigerian Jollof rice ever, and it was such a learning experience. From testing the massive 22,600 Ltrs custom-made pot to fine-tuning our cooking process, every detail is coming together. We’ve faced challenges, yes, but each one only makes us more ready for the big day.come with us on this journey because this isn’t just about Jollof, it’s about making history together. ❤️ #hildabaci #ginoworldjolloffestwithhildabaci

And now, with @ginonaija and YOU, that dream is coming alive 6 meters by 6 meters wide . 12th September , we make history together. Because what is Jollof without you to share it with? #GinoworldJollofFestwithHildaBaci #worldjollofday
