Hilda Baci, celebrity chef and former Guinness World Record holder, has launched a new attempt — this time to cook the largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice.

The challenge began on Friday at Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos, after being moved from Muri Okunola Park to accommodate a surge of attendees.

Baci, who previously set the record for the longest cooking marathon, is using a custom-built pot measuring six meters wide and filled with 250 bags of rice.

On Instagram, she confirmed she personally washed the massive pot, calling it “squeaky clean” ahead of what she described as “thousands of servings of Nigerian jollof history in the making.”

Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Paul Enenche, has cautioned Nigerians against relying on online loan applications, describing them as “agents of the devil in covenant with the spirit of debt.”

Delivering his sermon on Sunday in Abuja, Enenche expressed worry over the rising cases of depression and suicide reportedly linked to the operations of loan platforms nationwide.

According to him, many Nigerians are lured by promises of quick financial relief but end up trapped in cycles of harassment and humiliation.

“Once they fall into the trap, they face constant intimidation and embarrassment, which sometimes leads to depression or even suicide,” he told the congregation.

The cleric explained that borrowers often endure persistent calls, threats, and messages from lenders. He added that some platforms go as far as publishing defamatory statements and fake obituaries online to shame debtors.

Enenche urged Christians to resist the temptation of easy money, warning that such shortcuts were spiritually destructive. He said: “These things are demonic covenants with debt, and no child of God should have anything to do with them.”

His remarks come at a time when online loan providers in Nigeria face mounting criticism over alleged privacy violations and aggressive debt recovery tactics.

Popular Yoruba actor and filmmaker, Ibrahim Chatta, has announced the death of his son.

The actor broke the news on his Instagram page on Saturday, expressing grief and submitting to the will of God.

“Inna liLlahi wa inna ileyhi rajiun. Ya Allah, You are the Knower of all things. Rest on Dear Son, Champ,” he wrote.

Chatta’s loss comes only days after fellow actress Peju Ogunmola also lost her only son with veteran actor Sunday Omobolanle, popularly known as Papi Luwe.

The twin tragedies have thrown Nollywood into mourning, with condolences pouring in from colleagues and fans of both families.
