Actor Bishop Ime Okon popularly known as Okon Lagos has slammed Jackie, the president of the dog lovers association in Lagos state for attacking record-breaking Hilda Bassey over her video about dog meat.
Hilda and her friend, Enioluwa recently visited Akwa Ibom for her welcome home celebration after breaking the Guinness world record for the longest cooking time.
While in Akwa Ibom, Hilda in a video shared on social media asked Enioluwa to try her tribe’s delicacy which is dog meat.
Jackie felt offended and made a video expressing her disgust at Hilda and Enioluwa.
Reacting to Jackie’s video, Okon in a comment shared on Instagram accused Jackie of chasing clout and trying to incite Western hate towards Hilda.
Okon in his video, pointed out that the dogs eaten are not pet dogs but wild dogs hunted by hunters.
Describing her action as witchcraft in ‘broad daylight’, Okon wrote:
“Who’s this one sef? Ok Madam Cloutina, before you began inciting western hate on Hilda, you should have first of all known that there is no proof that the meat on that table is dog meat. Most things on social media aren’t real. Second, even if it is dog meat, Akwa Ibomites and Cross Riverians eat dog meat and there is NOTHING wrong with it. They don’t eat pet dogs, but wild dogs. It’s either ones hunted as game in the forest or the local breeds that are somewhat wild, strayed and launch indiscriminate attacks on unsuspecting passersby. It’s not an ape that we are talking about here, that is a primate and in the same family with humans but lesser animals. If it is, then one may make a commonsensical case for cannibalism or something close.”
