The Public Relations Officer of the Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe, has criticized Nigerians who mocked celebrity chef Hilda Baci over her recent attempt to break the Guinness World Record for cooking the largest pot of rice.
In a statement posted on his verified X handle, Edafe expressed disappointment at the attitude of some Nigerians, noting that instead of rallying behind Baci to support her effort, many chose to ridicule her for online attention.
“A Nigerian is trying to break a World Record, but other Nigerians who are supposed to help and support her are doing their best to bring her down. A set of people with misplaced priorities in the name of looking for impressions and engagements. Social media influencers my foot. What are you influencing? Kudos to those supporting and motivating her,” his statement read.
Edafe’s remarks come amid a wave of mixed reactions on social media regarding Baci’s record-breaking attempt, with some commending her determination while others questioned the value of the feat.
