Jackie Idimogu, an advocate for animal rights and the president of My Dog & I group, has strongly criticized Nigerian chef Hilda Baci for her viral video involving dog meat.
The 26-year-old chef, known for her extensive cooking sessions lasting four consecutive days in an effort to set the Guinness World Record for the longest individual cooking time, has attracted attention due to a recent video she shared on social media.

The controversial video depicted Hilda, alongside influencer Enioluwa, seated at a table where they presented a range of delicacies from her region, including dog meat. This footage caused a significant uproar.
Within the clip, Enioluwa hesitated to try dog meat for the first time, while Hilda attempted to persuade him and even forcefully feed him.
In response to the video, Jackie Idimogu shared a video on her social media platform, accusing Hilda of animal cruelty.
She criticized Hilda for consuming dog meat, despite members of her group and their dogs offering support during her lengthy cooking endeavor.
“Members of the 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 of 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.” Idimogu said.
She said she was initially skeptical of supporting Hilda during her cook-a-thon when she heard she was from Akwa Ibom, but decided to give her the benefit of the doubt because she thought the chef was exposed.
“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.” Idimogu added.
