Nigeria my country, i pray we reason out of sentiment and address issues the way they are presented. Because people blaming government, i wonder where government was mentioned in the write up.

Why parading a dog where Northerners and Muslims are? You know quite well that there religion is against it. Yet you tag it Buhari flaunting it.

I beg lets callable spade a spade. Bible says give what belongs to Caesar to Caesar and God to God

It is rubbish. Buhari is truly what he is odggdo

This is why men of the underworld murder policemen like chickens. I don't think Nigerian police comprise of human beings.

Look at the speed with which they swung to action, arrested and prosecuted this innocent man, over a dog. Shameless goats headed by the Dullard of Daura.
