Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci has officially broken yet another Guinness World Record; this time for preparing the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice. Guinness World Records confirmed the achievement in a post on its official X account, stating: “New record: Largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice, 8,780 kg (19,356 lb 9 oz) achieved by Hilda Baci and Gino in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.” The record-setting feat took place on September 12, during the “Gino World Jollof Festival” held at the prestigious Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos.

Several leading women’s organizations are calling for the immediate suspension of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill following fresh allegations of domestic violence made by his estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro. According to reports, the National Organization for Women (NOW) has taken a strong stance, with its president, Kim Villanueva, expressing outrage over the NFL’s silence. “Tyreek Hill should not be playing while these charges are being investigated,” Villanueva said. “The NFL itself proudly proclaims that forty-seven percent of the NFL audience is women, and women are watching to see where the league stands today.”
Villanueva criticized the league’s handling of domestic violence claims, saying the failure to suspend Hill sends a dangerous message. “The NFL doesn’t just have a Tyreek Hill problem—it still has a violence against women problem,” she stated. The allegations come amid Hill’s checkered off-field history, which includes a 2014 guilty plea for domestic assault while in college and a 2024 arrest for reckless driving. Although court documents claim Vaccaro accused Hill of multiple violent incidents, no criminal charges have been filed, and neither the Dolphins nor the NFL have issued disciplinary actions. Hill is currently still slated to play this Sunday against the New England Patriots.
