Speaking with Legit.ng, the brain behind the event, Mrs. Rita Asuquo, explained her motive for organising it.

When asked what inspired her to cook the largest pot of banga soup, she shared a very motivating statement.

The chef said:

"Well, I was inspired to make the biggest pot of banga soup to bring unity among the tribes in Delta state. The main motive was to make sure that we all eat together. I personally witnessed the Warri Crisis, and I wouldn't wish it on any ethnic group to have such a conflict."

She also mentioned in the chat that it took her about three months to put the whole thing together, including the pot design and everything necessary.

"It took me about three months to put it together."

Legit.ng asked about the process and method she used to turn the plan into reality, including the ingredients she used and other factors that contributed to the event.

The Warri chef shared:

"It is pretty basic. I had my team help me pound the banga and extract it. I also went to the market myself to get the ingredients for the food. The pot was a major work, and it all came to light in an amazing way."
