She said she decided to go back home after seeing the unusual queue, despite her plans for the event.
The lady said:
“Going home because no jollof rice was worth the line. But I am very proud of what Hilda is about to do though.
“I wasn’t going there for just the rice to be honest I actually wanted to create a couple content and to be able to say proudly that I was at a world record breaking event but honestly this line was just waaayyy too long and wasn’t even moving so I gave up.”
