Hilda Baci’s Dog meat video

Celebrity chef Hilda Baci, who captured the hearts of Nigerians during her cook-a-thon, experienced a major backlash from the Dog Lovers Association due to her culinary choices.

The founder of Food by Hilda recently made a trip to Akwa Ibom, uploading a video that showcased her and media influencer Enioluwa presented with a plate of dog meat. In the video, she advises Enioluwa to try out dog meat since it’s a delicacy.

The video received negative criticism, particularly from the president of the Dog Lovers Association, Jackie Idimogu.

With a claim that Hilda’s choice to consume dog meat is a betrayal and offence to dogs and members of the dog lovers association, Ms Idimogu recounted how she, the association, and a few dogs offered their support to the chef during her Guinness World record attempt.

She also explained how the action performed by Hilda would shed a negative spotlight on Nigeria as it would be perceived as a “dog-eating” country.

However, the actress denied the report, citing that the blogger is out to tarnish her image and admonishing Nigerians not to believe everything they read on the Internet.

“How could you be this bold about falsehood? How can you lie confidently?

“How can you intentionally tarnish people’s image and damage relationships because you want to attract people to your blogs?

“This funny post is evil and false in every sense.” I won’t dissipate energy fighting you. Karma is already dealing with your destiny because if you have one, you won’t be all gassed up about other people’s lives when yours is tattered.

“How does deleting my photos on my page give off anything?” The audacity to mention my son set, I suppose, give you one dirty slap,” she wrote alongside a photo of the alleged wedding.

Bukola Arugba, Damola Olatunji end nine-year ‘partnership’

Fans of Nollywood actors Bukola Awoyemi, also known as Arugba, and Damola Olatunji, have been left perplexed as the actress announced that they had gone their separate ways.

Although cases of breakups have become commonplace, especially in the Nigerian entertainment industry, what left fans of the actors in shock is the revelation that they were not legally married and had been cohabiting for the past nine years.

News about the duo parting ways filtered on Tuesday when Arugba made a post announcing their separation on her Instagram page.

Earlier in 2023, the actress had moved out of the actor’s house over alleged infidelity. Olatunji, who was married to Raliat Abiodun, another actress, denied the news, describing it as a rumour.

There may be some truth to the speculations as the actress has now officially announced that they are no longer an item, despite having a set of twins together.
