As Hilda Baci wraps up her Guinness World Record attempt for the largest pot of jollof rice, the internet has found a familiar name to revive — Chef Dammy. The Ekiti-born cook, who once went viral for her unofficial 120-hour cook-a-thon in 2023, is back in the spotlight, not for a new feat, but as the subject of nationwide banter.
Dammy’s rise to fame was anything but conventional. Her cook-a-thon, launched the same day Hilda Baci broke the record for the longest cooking marathon, was never filed with Guinness and lacked the polish of Baci’s event. What followed was a wave of viral reactions — not of admiration, but of comic relief. From shaky logistics to questionable presentation, Dammy’s effort became a meme magnet.
She later admitted the attempt was just for fun, never expecting it to leave her local community in Illupeju, Ekiti. After the frenzy, she stepped away from the spotlight and quietly enrolled in culinary school to sharpen her skills.
Now, with Hilda’s jollof cook-off dominating headlines, Nigerians are once again drawing playful comparisons. Social media timelines are flooded with memes, jokes, and imagined scenarios of a “Chef D” comeback. Posts range from mock predictions to exaggerated fan fiction, casting Dammy as the chaotic counterbalance to Hilda’s polished execution.
But Dammy has made no announcement. The buzz is purely organic — a reflection of Nigeria’s meme culture and the public’s love for remixing viral moments. Whether she responds or not, her name remains etched in the country’s culinary pop culture as a symbol of ambition, humor, and unexpected fame.
