Famous Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci, has pleaded with Nigerians to not judge or assess her by her dress sense.
She told them it was her decision to slay but it doesn’t stop her from offering something valuable because she is also intelligent.
This response came as a result of the massive criticisms she had received because of her dressing after her pictures were unearthed in Youtube reports.

The Akwa Ibom-born chef in Lagos, on Thursday defended her choice of clothing, insisting that one can look sexy and beautiful, and still be a revolutionist.
She said, “I don’t have to be dressed like a nun to make it in life. One can be sexy and still amazing, beautiful, and smart.”
“I shouldn’t be taken back because of my looks or dressing as this does not determine my values or endowment. I’ve volunteered myself to say I slay and I have something up in the brain.”

Baci, also revealed that her record has been validated, and certification was what as left.
“We complied with all the guidelines and never left any stone unturned. We didn’t fall short in any area and this is quite evident and clear. The cook-a-thon is a deliberate attempt and not a child’s play. Our preparations were robust, hence I don’t expect to be disappointed”
She disclosed her future plans during the interview:
“By expanding my business ,I want to create jobs and contribute meaningfully to the economy. I’m anticipating a situation where the earnings of chefs in Nigeria will be as competitive as employees in the oil company.”
“I feel the culinary space is under-rated, I want to change the narratives. I intend to work with a lot of brands to add value to their customers and brands towards their sustainability.”
She also thanked her team and Nigerians for their immense support.
