By Oluwarantimi Oludase

Popular Nollywood actress, Jumoke Odetola, has blown hot over some negative comments following popular chef Hilda Baci's latest achievement.

Recall that Hilda Baci, last week, shook the internet with her biggest pot of Jollof rice attempt at Eko Hotel, Lagos.

The cooking event was well attended by many Nigerians, including celebrities like Tomike Adeoye, Funke Akindele, Enioluwa, Ogun State Governor’s wife, Bamidele Abiodun among others.

However, despite the milestone, some people have been bemoaning that the rice wasn't sweet.

Reacting to the negative comments, Jumoke Odetola, via her Instagram page, stressed that she has been angry since she saw the negative comments.

She stated that it is heartbreaking when negativity overshadows greatness, noting how she has been seeing numerous posts and banters everywhere about Hilda Baci's latest achievement.

Praising Hilda, Jumoke stated that it takes real courage to attempt something extraordinary, courage to dream big, and finally bringing the dream into reality takes even bigger courage.

Praying for those sharing negative comments, she prayed for peace and happiness beyond human understanding, calling on healing from past pains that have transcended into bitterness.

She wrote:
“The Jollof Rice no sweet.
I have been angry since yesterday, and if I don’t express my thoughts, I won’t be fine.

It is heartbreaking when negativity overshadows greatness.

Since yesterday, my timeline hasn’t rested, posts, and banters everywhere, people saying things like “e no sweet”, cooking na achievement? And I keep asking – what is going on with us? What has changed in our mindset as humans?

It takes real courage to attempt something extraordinary.

It takes courage to dream big.
But bringing that dream into reality takes even more than courage. It demands a whole lot of preparedness mentally, psychologically, emotionally, and financially.

I have just been angry since yesterday
Go somewhere private, where no one can distract you.

Place your right hand on your left chest. That’s where your heart beats.

Now ask yourself, slowly but honestly:
WHY AM I TRIGGERED BY THE SUCCESS OF A WOMAN TRYING TO MAKE A MARK IN HER FIELD?

Sit with that question.
Your answer might just be the doorway to your healing.

May God give us peace and happiness that surpass human understanding, and heal us from past pains that have transcended into bitterness, tox!city, and hatr€d."
