Popular Nigerian chef and former Guinness World Record (GWR) holder, Hilda Effiong Bassey, better known as Hilda Baci, has joined the Ghanaian versus Nigerian jollof debate.
According to the celebrity chef, the Ghanaian jollof, “has no flavour” and the ones made in her home country, Nigeria tastes much better.
Baci aired her opinion on the controversial topic recently while featuring on the latest episode of the 90s Baby Show.
In her words, after tasting both Ghanaian and Nigerian jollof, she was able to confirm that the Nigerian version is the best.

Speaking during the chat, Hilda said, “Nigerian jollof is actually better than Ghanaian jollof.
“I’ve been to Ghana and I’ve eaten their jollof. I’ve done a jollof competition with a Ghanaian chef who made his best representation of Ghanaian jollof and I’ve seen the recipes.
“But with Nigerian jollof, Nigerians don’t play about flavour.”
Hilda Baci prior to breaking the Cook-a-thon GWR, defeated Ghana’s Leslie Kumordzie to emerge as the winner of “Jollof Face-off Competition” in 2021.
She was later awarded $5,000 prize money for her feat.
