which tribe did he mention?

You guys are Not serious. Like I don't Get. Hall of Fame is now a child's play? What special thing has Hilda Baci done that others cannot do? Who she don epp?
What has he done for her immediate and extended family or her community. Yes, I appreciate the fact that she broke a cooking record and GWR recognized her efforts. Nigerians are also proud of her, but to induct her in the Hall Of Fame is unnecessary and wide off the Mark. It means the bar has been so lowered that any Tom, Dick and Harry can now be inducted.
