staaari: We still have colonial mentality reading some comments here.!!

Nobody own this world, we all own it together.

We dont need OYINBO to validate our practices!!!!!

We should be able to think and act for ourself.

Now it took a goat arrested in Australia for us to believe our Osun Police were not acting stupily!

AFRICANS wake up! We can shape the world as we see fit.
True.
Unfortunately,we are too brainwashed to act otherwise.
It is Sad.

free13: By Jonathan Samuels, Australia correspondent

An Australian court has heard the bizarre case of a goat which destroyed a flowerbed - and has found in favour of the peckish animal.
Gary the goat was accused of eating flowers outside Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art and his owner James Dezarnaulds, was fined \$440 (£295) by police.
However, the comedian, also known as Jimbo Bazoobi, contested the fine.
As he delivered his version of events to the magistrate his sidekick waited nervously outside court surrounded by reporters and photographers.
Magistrate Carolyn Barkell said the accused had been eating the flowers when police arrived.
"I accept that he did eat garden plants," she said.
However, she said there was no evidence Mr Bazoobi took Gary there with the intention of vandalising vegetation.
"He may have preferred to have an ice cream," she said.
Gary's lawyer Paul McGirr told the court police had issued the wrong infringement notice because it related to a person and not a goat.
He also said it could not be proved that Mr Bazoobi put Gary up to the act.
"We can't guess what he might have been whispered in his goat ear," he said.

Mr Bazoobi tours Australia with Gary and told reporters he bought him for a case of beer last year.
Speaking after the verdict Mr Bazoobi said: "Gary's name has been cleared of all this slander. He was simply eating and I want to thank everyone for coming down here.
"Gary the goat taught the cops a valuable lesson today, don’t bite off more than you can chew."

Mr McGirr said: "Think about the waste of taxpayers' money that has been spent on prosecuting a person because a goat is eating some grass or some vegetation.
"I've always been an advocate that all police should be out doing real police work. I'd also like to know what other police who are working hard would think about their colleague actually writing a ticket to someone whose goat is feeding."
The magistrate dismissed Mr Bazoobi's application for the Crown to pay his legal costs but cancelled his fine.
[b]Gary was not required to give evidence and made no comment on the verdict.[/b]

Police nah police. But the Nigerian goat died in custody. May his goatish soul rest in peace. Amen.

Nigerian police should learn from australian police how to treat an arrested goat until conviction of crime. Ex-convict goats on parade...

Not so FAST!


It is THE OWNER OF THE GOAT that was issued with the Fine ...which "He" refused to pay and was then hurled before a Judge!

In Naija's case, the "Foolice" actually arrested the Goat and detained it, awaiting prosecution (But left the owner out of it).

Lastpage!


BTW; I once warned my neighbor: If your Goat eats my Flowers, you will have to pay for it ...or else, l eat your Goat (to recover my Flowers) as well. wink wink
This good neighbor has a habit of unleashing his herd of Goats on the neighborhood every evening, not caring where they went, whose food/flowers they ate or on whose lawn they defecate! angry angry
