TV presenter Ojinika Okpe has said she will never eat dog meat if given the opportunity to.

The model made this known on What's Trending with Ojy Okpe on Monday, June 5 as controversy continues to surround the viral video of Hilda Baci eating dog meat.

Hilda Baci, a chef came into the spotlight after she attempted to break a Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.

In the video that has since generated loads of concern, Hilda admitted that she eats dog meat while persuading Enioluwa to try it but he declined.

Several reactions have trailed the video.

A social media commentator, Nnamdi Abana has opined that Hilda Baci might not be recognized by Guinness World Record over her viral dog-eating controversy.

He wrote: "Hilda Bassi, the Nigerian record-breaking celebrity Chef will most likely lose this Guinness Award over the viral dog-eating controversy. This singular incident may mar her success story as animal rights activists are already putting up a fight against her action."

She should have been more circumspect with her actions and exuberance till she becomes the recipient of the highly sought-after recognition. May God help her."

Other activists including renowned animal rights activist and President of My Dog & I group, Jackie Idimogu have berated chef Hilda Baci for eating dog meat.

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.
