The famous reverse news headline "Man bites dog!" is old news to some restaurants in Nigeria's capital, Abuja.
Mr Eze then hungrily gets back to tugging his chunk of dog meat.
He is standing under a mango tree in "South Africa", the name of an open-air restaurant hidden behind the living quarters of a Western construction firm in Abuja.
"It is called South Africa because behind those high walls you'll find rich Europeans and outside here is Soweto, where we, ordinary ma**es, struggle with dog meat," Mr Eze explains with a smile playing on his face.
Mr Eze says he eats dog meat because "e dey protect person from all those nyama-nyama disease them" - it gives you immunity from different diseases.
....
"Eating dog meat gives you a special protection against the most potent juju (charm)," he claims, reeling off the benefits of dog meat.
"Dog meat also improves your sex life. And if you eat dog meat, you cannot be poisoned."
....
"People who eat dog meat have no business with malaria," Mr Nnkwo says. "So, I was introduced to the meat as a cure for malaria and I can testify that it works."
...
Asked how tasty the meat is, Mr Nnkwo beams and says: "Oh la la! You don't know what you are missing."
