My Dad Abandoned Me when I Was In 300 Level – Hilda Baci

Popular Nigerian chef, Hilda Bassey well known as Hilda Baci, has revealed that her Dad, whose name is Effiong Bassey Edem abandoned her moment she was in 300 level second semester in University.

According to her latest interview with Taymesan on the ‘Tea with Tay’ podcast, The Guinness World Record holder explained that her dad had been present in their lives since they were kids but things changed after a huge misunderstanding happened between him and her mother which had an impact on the children.

She said: “For me, I will say one of the biggest issues was when he abandoned me. He didn’t abandon me from on set. He was present for us to some extent.

“But when it dawned on me, was when my dad and mom had issues, and I was in 300 level second semester in University.

“I pretty much remember my conversation with my father on one matriculation day. I called him, I was like, you didn’t bring food for me and his response was like, ‘Who’s your dad?’.

“It later dawned on me years after that he was not actually joking.”
