Nigerian chef Hilda Effiong Bassey, also known as Hilda Baci, has said she does not want any man who possesses culinary skills.

She added that while she doesn’t mind her partner ordering food for her, she does not want a man who will outshine her in the kitchen.

Speaking in a viral podcast video that was circulated on X (formerly Twitter), the former Guinness World Record holder declared: “I don’t want a man who can cook. It’s not what I desire. I have a great love for cooking. My friends would tell you that Hilda would send you food as a way to express her affection for you. That’s kind of one of the things I like to do for people that I care about, especially for my man.

“You can wake me up in the middle of the night and say, ‘Babe, I want a doughnut. I want meat pie.’ And I’m flying to the kitchen to make it for you. That’s my thing. I want a man that can order me food. If you don’t have a problem with ordering me food, I’m in love.”
