Social activist Verydarkman has responded to claims that he is envious of celebrity chef Hilda Baci’s growing influence following her record-breaking Jollof rice event.
Baci recently made headlines after organizing one of Nigeria’s largest cooking gatherings, earning recognition from the Guinness World Records for preparing the biggest pot of Nigerian Jollof rice.
Speaking about the occasion, Verydarkman reflected on the history of rice distribution in Nigeria, noting how politicians often hand out rice to appease citizens after wrongdoing. He clarified that, while the event wasn’t a “distraction,” it was more of a women’s affair suggesting men should simply applaud from the sidelines rather than participate.
Addressing accusations of jealousy, he dismissed the claims, asserting that his own reach is significant, adding that if he wanted to, he could fill an entire stadium with supporters.
He said …
“Nobody has the decency to call it a distraction. Hilda Baci has made Nigeria proud by putting us on the map. And then one person go dey one place dey say Verydarkman is jealous that he cannot pull that crowd. What crowd? I can full a stadium if I want to. I can full it. I will full a stadium if I say I have something to do there. I will have thousands of ratels that would come there.”
