Hilda Baci Painfully Opens Up on Her Father Disowning Her at a Young Age, and the Changes It Brought

Nigerian-renowned chef Hilda Effiong Bassey, best known as Hilda Baci, has detailed her broken relationship with her father, Effiong Bassey Edem. In a recent episode of the Tea with Tay podcast interview, the Guinness World Record breaker said her only complaint about her father was his sudden absence.

However, she reminisced about the presence of her father during her childhood days and his activeness in her life and that of her siblings before the sudden change that was born as a result of a significant disagreement between him and her mother. Her father’s abrupt abandonment, especially when she and her older brother were halfway through university, hurt her deeply, as the celebrity chef mentioned.

Hilda recalled a heartbreaking incident during a call with her father regarding school expenditures. To her surprise, he answered the phone and asked her, “Who is your dad?” disowning her at that moment. She first believed her mother and father would reconcile and her father would return. Unfortunately, reconciliation never occurred.

The food enthusiast said her father’s abandonment inspired her to greatness. She claimed she organised the Guinness World Record cook-a-thon to make her father regret his actions and for personal development.
