Okon Lagos berates Dog lovers president for calling out Hilda Baci

Popular actor and comedian, Okon Lagos roundly berates president of Dog Lovers Association for calling out famous chef Hilda Baci over her dog meat delicacy.

The lady had berated her for preparing dog meat as meal as she expressed her displeasure. Okon who reacted to this tagged the woman as cloutina, further noting that she wants to dim Hilda’s shine by inciting western hate. He pointed out to the lady that eating dog meat is a delicacy in Akwa Ibom which happens to be where Hilda is from.

Okon added that if preparing dog meat is a crime, then the same argument could be made of other animals which are pets to other people. In his words: “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 ts, then one may make a commonsensical case for cannibalism or something close. It’s a dog and not a pet dog like you are carrying to chase clout with. People eat pythons and other kinds of animals which are pets to many. I’ve seen many Python pets in Florida. So should a protective movement be flagged off for all animals? Are you vegan? Even if you are, what if someone comes with a claim which is a arguably a truism, that plants have life and deserve to live and it is cruel and destructive to life to allow it end up as food just because u are at the top of the food chain? As much as this is a mischievous and selective justice for animals, it is also broad day light witchcraft to put a clog in someone’s wheel of progress.”

It is about whether someone was voted in. Erdogan might be a dictator to the rest of the world but he was chosen by his people.
Tinubu on the other hand is an impostor who stole people’s mandate through rigging and violence,” she added.

Bakare said; “Last Wednesday, I was at the Glass House where he (Buhari) has been restricted now because the main house is being renovated. I said I have done that for you. I want you to know that, because of the circumstances of your flying into power on the wings of integrity and incorruptibility, but you’re now passing onto someone who does not have that value. “At any public lecture anywhere, before this mess is cleared off, I will address Asiwaju (Tinubu) as a President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria but I will never call him my president.

President-elect Bola Tinubu. Source: Web “I participated in the primary, and there were hundreds (of persons) who participated only by stepping down, so there is no shame in what we have done. We spoke truth to power. “I wasn’t there when they voted, I wasn’t there when they scored (me) zero, but we won that badge of zero and badge of honour.” On if he would accept a nomination to become a Minister, Bakare said; “I am not desperate to be a minister, not at all. I was offered before but I turned it down. My life is not just to take photographs with the president and shake hands. But we will do if it will benefit even one citizen.”
