Hilda was with influencer, Enioluwa Adeoluwa.
The duo were captured in a viral video sitting at a table where dog meat was served. Hilda admitted that she eats dog meat while persuading Enioluwa to try it but he declined.
Reacting to the video, in a video message shared on her social media page, Idimogu accused Hilda of cruelty against animals.
She faulted Hilda for eating dog meat despite members of her group and their dogs coming to support the chef during her cookathon.

Idimogu said, “Members of My Dog & I group wore their shirts to go and support Hilda, dogs were present at the cookathon to support Hilda. I know that there were about two or three dogs because when my group members went there they made sure to take pictures and videos with every dog there.
“Now, imagine my surprise this evening, scrolling through Instagram and then I see on a news blog that this same Hilda posted that she is eating a dog.”
“Hilda in her infinite mercy and wisdom, thought that the best thing for her to do after the world celebrated Nigeria through her relentlessness. And now that the torchlight of the world is on Nigeria through you, you decide that what you want to show the world is that Nigerians are dog eaters? No, no. I’m making this video to refute the fact that Nigerians are not dog eaters.”

Na wah. Stalla this one you put attampted Guinness world record.... E be like say her village people don collect the award from her. Anyway. She don make name. All join
ReplyDeleteThe lady is a passionate dog lover so I get her feelings but she should also consider that it’s some peoples culture
DeleteI think she should have spoken from a point of enlightenment, rather than castigation.
I also think hilda shouldn’t have made the post public because she’s seeking an international public recognition and those that would grant you global fame do not support “dog eating” because dogs are not livestock meant for consumption.
The whole thing just get as e be
Push up (original)
Hopefully she didn't cook dogs as part of the dishes she cooked for the Guinness world records, if she did, I don't know if they will give her an award for cooking dogs.
DeleteZaram, Stella used attempted because Guinness world records have not approved her record. No statement yet to confirm her as a record holder
DeleteWho told her Nigerians are not dog eaters? Abeg this woman Dey find story.
ReplyDeleteEezi
*some Nigerians please. I’m sure even where you come from, not everyone eats dog.
DeleteCorrection noted. I also don’t eat dogs but some tribes eat it.
DeleteEezi
I'm not a dog eater. Neither is any member of my family.
DeleteWorld people with their mentality.
ReplyDeleteYou should know that the international community that might endorse her will frown on her dog eating video. She should have kept her video on her device not publish it.
DeleteShe was wrong and she doesn't need this type of controversy following her now.
I am trying to understand this
ReplyDeleteWhat about those other animals we kill and eat like cow, chicken, ram, sheep etc? Isn't that also animal cruelty?
ReplyDeleteThey're livestock and are meant to be eaten.
DeleteCastle in some areas, dogs are reared as livestock too. There is a section of Mile 3 market, Port Harcourt where dogs are sold like chicken for people that eat them.
DeleteI don't eat dog(as a matter of fact I forbid it) but it is my personal choice and I can't judge others based on my personal choice.
Well, as for the chef, she is now public property. She enjoyed their support, she should learn to take their scrutiny too.
You cannot rear what is not livestock as livestock. Dogs are not livestock and cannot be reared as livestock.
DeleteI just tire, anon. So if we start rearing crocodiles and selling them in a section of my village market, it automatically makes it a livestock?
DeleteGrasscutters are not considered livestock yet they are reared and put for sale to make delicacies in Nigeria. Crocodiles are also reared and sold for consumption in some parts of the world this is known as captive breeding.
DeleteEvery society have their traditions and culture rather what we should be mindful of is the legality of the act. Dog eating is not a crime. Some people see consumption of any kind of animals as cruelty too.
That's their stand it doesn't make it wrong.
Chicken, cow meat, goat meat etc are they not animals too?
ReplyDelete☝️
DeleteWahaa have showed face on this geh matter
ReplyDeleteLol ....
ReplyDeleteI don't get it. Is there a difference between eating cow meat and eating dog meat? Are they not both animals? Someone should pls kowatiate because e be like say e get something wey I no understand.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you eat human meat and vulture meat since they are all meat?
DeleteYes, some people do eat them.
DeleteCow is livestock, so it can be eaten.
DeleteAnon@10:21 you harsh oooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣. All meat no be meat wey dem fit eat oooo.
DeleteShe shouldn't have made it public.
DeleteIt's a not everybody that eats dog meat.
A lot of stuffs are better left unsaid abeg.
The fact she made it public now many can never be caught eating from her kitchen.
The fact cow and dogs are domestic animals doesn't mean everyone can now eat dog.
Some persons ordinarily get irritated by any kind of meat.
Nothing will make me hire a caterer that I know eats dog.
Even if she is the best, even if she will cook for free
Eww.
Why don't you eat cat?
Not understanding, where she comes from, eats dog 🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶
ReplyDeleteAlways Ibombeats dogs no doubt, she could have kept it private.
DeleteOuttie
Every tribe, state and county with their taboo. In Akwa Ibom we eat dog and some other people or country enjoy eating cat. So this person should go and sit in the mud. For all I care Hilda has made a name for herself.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she only criticized Hilda because she's more like an internationally recognized figure. Posting herself eating dog meat online is not good for her image.
DeleteTrue @ Castle
DeleteThat name is stained by the video of eating dogs. I didn't think you needed PR to advice on this but in a world where people spend tens of thousands of dollars to maintain a pet dog a year, seeing you munch a fillet terrier as a fun thing is not going to open doors but shut them. Award never ready and you are making it harder to grow.
DeleteHilda isn't wise in this matter
DeleteAnimal right this, animal right that. Yes I get the part of it being a pet to SOME. can the world EVER tell china not to eat dog, frog, bat, etc ? Now he reach Nigeria one mumu woman want flex her unknown yeye power. Na today Nigerians begin eat dog meat ?
ReplyDeleteI tire for all of them. I'm not even a dog eater nor a dog lover and I see nothing wrong with what Hilda has done. If Guinness WR likes they should withhold their award because of the dog post.
DeleteWho them don epp before?
The girl is from Akwa Ibom. They eat dog there.
Hilda has made a name for herself. Some persons can't even stand for 5 hours straight.
I am still awed by Hilda's cookathon. If e easy make GWR run am.
Bianca Bruno
I think the problem here is she shouldn't have posted it.
DeleteSome people eat pussy cats while others keep them as pets.
ReplyDeleteWahala
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣 you people should be very careful where you take your dogs to...poor dog came to support Hilda without knowing she was only thinking of how much the dogs weigh and the amount of pepper and ingredients to use on it.
ReplyDeleteThank God the supporting dogs made it back home in one piece.
JUSTICE FOR BINGO!
😂😂😂😂😂
Delete🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣na real Justice for bingo
DeleteJustice for bingo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

DeleteJustice for bingo I Stan
Delete🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Delete🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteIt's their culture, and should be respected. Albeit, I can't imagine eating a GSD or Chihuahua.
ReplyDeleteSo what was she really cooking all those hours?
ReplyDeleteNa dog meat abi na camel🐫 That's why e no quick done 🤣🤣
Delete🤣🤣🤣🤣 anon 17:05
DeleteMake ona dey support her, just pray d body responsible for d award doesn’t frown at eating of dog, otherwise, if they decide to withhold d award ,nothing ona fit do. Not a crime to eat dogs for any tribe that enjoys it ,but we know that 99.9% of developed countries see killing of certain animals as a crime. With ds alone, people like me will never eat from her pot . Never!
ReplyDeleteNot a crime to eat it, but if she cooked it for the record cooking attempt and they find out, they will take the record from her. It is not acceptable to publicly state you are a dog eater around strangers, in some cultures dogs are considered very unclean, in others they are man’s best friend.
DeleteKnowing this fact now,I'm sorry me as person I'll not eat from her pot and I'll discourage people also . this my truth..
ReplyDeleteGuessmeey
Hahahaha!!! Justice for Bingo indeed @anonymous:10:51
DeleteShe shouldn't have posted it. Who is her Manager? He or she should be fired.
ReplyDeleteShe is a cook for God's sake. Some people will not patronize her because they now know she eats dog and they don't eat from a pot that has been used to cook dog, especially Muslims.
She sure has lost a lot of potential patronage.
DeleteThat's the problem with people likes and views, must you post that time she wanted to go for the cookton some said that birthday video she shouldn't have posted it and now this dog meat own ,some can't live their lives without posting everything is out there, you see this making money on social media it will really put some people in trouble
Delete💯
DeleteWe don't eat dog in my family line abeg.
ReplyDeleteEww 🤮🤮🤮
We can't and will never eat dog.
After looking for all the meat I will eat its now dog that I will eat? God forbid bad thing.
Fish full everywhere.
Chicken plenty.
That is why I don't eat food anyhow outside.
Rubbish.
Dog and pussycat are two Very irritating animals that I can't touch.
Why post it tho? I thought she was smart
ReplyDeleteIndians worship cows, my grandma could never eat her pet chickens. People are different and these differences should be respected. Hilda eats dog meat, this should not hold back her award, that would be discrimination, except of course they can criminalize eating beef too.
ReplyDeleteIf you are seeking international Validation like GWR records, ABIDE by global conventions else your record is not validated and you just wasted your time. You are free to cook or eat dogs but it’s repulsive to the countries that sponsor GWR. Why even make it public? FYI dogs guide the blind, help law enforcement solve crimes and are treated here almost like humans by FBI and law enforcement. Google Michael Vicks that went to jail for 5 years for “dog fighting” in the US. I don’t get my people.
ReplyDeleteWe want validation so desperately but speak with both sides of the mouth. Chinese eat frogs but don’t care about international validation, besides they developed their country and economy so they are now globally respected. We are still buying tricycle ambulances and having public school kids who sit on the floor to learn in 2023 while trying to impose dog eating on GWR? She should take it down. “Critics are the unpaid guardians of our souls” - Corrie Ten Boom, founder of Salvation Army.

DeleteThank you @ 21:51, you said it all. The international community will frown seriously at her dog eating video because a lot of people here treat their dogs as human beings.
DeleteIt's not a crime to eat dogs since it's her culture but she shouldn't have made it public.
What's stopping the government from banning eating dog meat in Naija, especially in those states that are known for it?
ReplyDeleteWhy would someone who eat cow frown on someone who eats dog? Why would some one who eat pig abi pork frown on someone who eats snail or iguana? Who even made all the rules of livestock and pet animals? They eat pork and say don't eat dog. Are they not all animals?
ReplyDeleteAll the major religions have been guided by their religious texts on what is appropriate to eat. Jews, Christians, and Muslims all follow some kind of food restriction. Added to that is the norms of the general culture they belong to, and ppl’s own personal preferences. There are things that is normal in my culture to eat that I have never and will never eat even though everyone around me eats it. There are things that are naturally just repulsive to even touch much less eat. I couldn’t eat dog, because one of my best friends that I had as a child was a dog. I don’t condemn those who eat it, but I wouldn’t eat at a restaurant where it is on the menu. I couldn’t even date or marry someone who eat dog.
DeleteCows cannot be trained to help the blind navigate life, cows cannot be trained to help law enforcement solve crimes, dogs have been known to dial “911” when some owners were in serious trouble! Only God knows why dogs seem to be able to understand humans more than any other animal and I don’t own one because the laws governing the care of your dog here can land you in jail if you fail to treat them almost like a kid. However based on what I have seen them do in the daily lives of mankind, in research etc, it’s kind of creepy to kill and eat a dog in my opinion. As I said above as Anon 21:55, if you are seeking international approval, validation or record, KEEP to the norms that govern those societies. It’s the least you can do. When Nigeria develops to the level of China and India, we can create a Nigerian “Palm Wine Book” Of World Records and it won’t matter if you cook dog or any non livestock. For now, he who pays the piper, dictates the tube. She did not have to post it.
ReplyDeleteAs someone with minimal to zero digital footprints and not for lack of achievements (to God be the glory), I think a sign of maturity is to know what to post on SM with your full chest knowing it’s archived till kingdom come. If they don’t give her the record or invalidate her cooking (if dog was part of what she cooked), some will cry foul but wisdom is key in life. People go to JAIL for mistreating their dogs here.
*dictates the tune*…..not tube. Typo
DeleteAfter seeing the pics I said I would never eat at her restaurant. To avoid dog meat or stock being accidentally mixed with my food. Tufiakwa
ReplyDeleteYou know the funniest thing, I never got into the hype with her. I just wasn’t feeling her at all. And now to read this, it’s like something was warning me.
DeleteIt is for this reasons like this why I stick primarily with seafood and vegetables when I travel. And in its plain form where it is clearly visible. I read that a lot of the tourists in Thailand eating street meat on skewers were being told it was chicken, when in fact they were actually eating dog. Once they deep fry and put sauce on or bbq on an open flame how will you know what you are eating.
