While Teddy A appreciated her for being hardworking and also acknowledged the support received from Nigerians, he, however, took a swing at some of her supporters. In his words; “I’m so proud of Hilda the chef. Personally I don’t know her but iv seen her work. It’s also a great thing that Nigerians are supporting and showing up to support.
However I have only one question. And this is for the clout chasers. And fake souls. Now ask yourself. The way you left your home and drove all the way to the location where she’s cooking have you ever done the same for your friend who also cooks? Just to support their business and hustle ?
Have you left the comfort of your house to ever go support a friends canteen or buka or even regular business ? But you would drive miles to go and take pictures and hide under supporting one another. The fakeness for this una blood go die with una!”
