Social media users who thronged the video's comments section shared varied opinions.

Adjei Darko stated:

If he had won,would you have been here saying he's not a member of your association? You would have rather associated with him in the glory. Let's not be doing this just because he's had some issues. This statement is useless

Sayh MiMind commented:

So why are you saying it now??? Didn't he do amazingly well in his cooking? Didn't he cook for the number of hours we know??? Do you think he will waste his time and resources if he had known he was dealing with the wrong people???

Amoh Samuel stated:

And when they realized he was using their logo bt wasn't a member, what stopped them from making us aware so he cld either decide to join or remove their logo?
