Reality TV star, Queen Mercy Atang has defended Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci after she was criticized for consuming dog meat.
Queen Mercy Atang argues that eating dog meat is a norm in places like Akwa Ibom and Calabar and being part of their culture, dog meat is commonly referred to as “404.”
While defending Hilda, she stated that this practice has already been approved by NAFDAC. Therefore, Hilda should be allowed to continue without further interference.
She wrote: “What’s all this ma’am in AKWA IBOM state it’s called 404. I mean 404 with fresh palm wine. Yummiest. 😋 😋 😋
“Come and change our culture for us na Culture that’s NAFDAC APPROVED w mbok ku yad esit oh. Try leave Hilda and our 404 alone for us Mbok”
Reacting to this, Nollywood actress, Eve Esin commented: “Abeg I no listen finish I eat 404 wella.”
