“It should be free” – Mixed Reactions as chef Hilda Baci charges N25K for meet and greet in Abuja

Popular Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci, has been slammed heavily after it was alleged that she charged N25,000 for meet-and-greet sessions in Abuja.

Hilda Baci made headlines on May 15, 2023, when she reportedly broke the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon. The previous record of 87 hours and 45 minutes was held by Chef Lata Tondon from Rewa, India in 2019.

However, the Guinness World Record has not yet officially confirmed Baci as the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon, despite her impressive feat.

The Akwa Ibom chef has been involved in different controversial actions that have triggered criticism from Nigerians.

According to recent reports, Chef Hilda Baci is allegedly charging a significant amount of N25,000 for personal meet-ups in Abuja. It is said that individuals will have to pay this fee to have a brief encounter with her on June 24, 2023.

Although Hilda Baci has not spoken publicly about these allegations, many Nigerians have expressed their disappointment and concern over what they see as an exorbitant fee to meet a chef.

@DanielRegha: Hilda Baci is nothing without Nigerians. If the masses didn’t support & get her trending, many celebs won’t show-up to fake hype her Cookathon. It’s the sad but honest truth. Her Meet and greet should be free, as a way to show appreciation. Charging N25k (if true) is ridiculous.

meerah_cul: Even person wey cook 👨‍🍳 last supper no charge such amount😣🚶‍♂️.. Hilda nwa no discount ?😣🚶‍♂️😂.

amina_minaah: Meet and greet, cooking , food tasting and after party !! You no see those ones abi ??? Make she do am for freee????

official.jessicageorge: Even influencers in Abuja charge same price range when they want to do meet and greet especially because of the space or restaurant, food and all. Those people aren’t even celebrities like that so why shouldn’t Hilda charge. People pay more for events here in Abuja sef.
