Police finally realising they've shot themselves on the foot. Why kill the man's dog when the matter is in court?

amaechi1:


It very obvious you did not read the police statement completetly. Did you read after trying to settle the the case amicable, but was not successful, they decide to charge the case to court. May you never finf yourself in trouble that you think never matter.

SIRTee15:


the man ordered his dog to be killed so that it won't be used against him in court......
go and read the first police statement on this matter......
he has always denied he inscribed buhari on his dog while other people said otherwise......
the reason he had to kill the poor dog......
the guy knows what he's doing...... he's a troublemaker......
reason why I can never support him........

Seriously? You want to know how an area can heat up abi? You don't know ketere market is 99% Hausa market abi? I don't know where you stay. But please name your dog or pig Buhari or Danjuma that na popular Hausa name. Take a bust to lagos, drop at oshodi. Then from oshodi drop at sango otta. Make sure you drop at the last bus stop. Then walk further small. Don't climb the bridge oooo. Just cross under the bridge. Ketere market is your left.

When you get there enter the market and start dancing about with your dog. Don't forget the name should be written boldly on the dog. Sebi that Buhari guy was civil he had the patience to go and report at the station. If danjuma na pure aboki wey no send. Body go tell you. Then you'd have a perfect example.

He did the normal thing by reporting to the police. He didn't start fighting him. But I dont see a big deal in the issue. They should have resolved it amicably. At least the man will clean the name and apologize. That should have solve it. But those abokis too get strong head.

But the dog owner self suppose know Buhari is a popular Hausa name. And there's a 5% chance there will be Buhari in the market. Name your dog Buhari but don't write it on the dog. Some people might see the humor in it, but some won't.
As simple as that.

I totally believe this had nothing to do with the President. If he had picked danjuma or Sanusi. The samething would still happen.

OBAGADAFFI this is what I told someone. That igbo guy know sey na Hausa area. And he knows na go Hausa man sabi. Nothing concern them with come. Especially the illiterates among them. It's an unnecessary provocation. As we dey blame the Hausa man for getting angry at nothing. Make we dey blame the ibo man too for acting that way. But I still believe they should resolved it amicably.

SmartChoices:
the complainant should be arrested and tried for animal abuse!

neocortex:


Civilised society are abolishing death penalty even for the
most grievous offense such as mass murder but you think
a man who is ready to kill should be appeased at all cost,
you even suggesting you banish the potential victim instead
of the agrressor.

I am sure you are one of those who always blame the victim
for "provoking" their attacker.

You can't change violent men by kowtowing to all their wishes,
they are only changed when their is consequence for their action.

No one has a right to kill, not even in the animal jungle can such right be
enforced.

Any one that is ready to kill must be locked up not appeased, yes, that is the
only solution.

the man killed his own dog not the complainant.

The problem is, we Yoruba are sitting on the important issues. Ibos and the north are trouble makers. The ibos guy knew exactly what he was doing, the purpose and the reaction he wanted to get cos we know Hausa&fulani to kill for lesser provocation. And the Hausa&fulani whose emotions are running from their heads to toes and get provoked over just about anything. These two tribes are made up of mostly lunatics. And when two cripples (Hausa&fulani and ibos) bring problems to town, it's the able-bodied (Yoruba) that bear the brunt. This is one killing spree police averted. Yoruba monarchs need to start telling these suicidal ibos and others foreigners that they will leave and never be allowed to return if they cause any unrest anywhere in Yoruba land.

The belligerent Hausa&fulani and the paranoid ibos are just a deadly mix in a sane society like Yorubaland.

Getintouch2004:



All the rubbish you typed simply buttressed the fact that a typical Northerner is aggressive..... very aggressive.

Take the same dog and name it Ikechukwu (God's power) or Ikenna. Take it to Ariaria International market in Aba. If you like patrol in that market with your dog from morning till night, nobody go even send u.

Everything is all about tolerance.

Omeokachie:


There was a video posted on here earlier today showing a very angry Iroko remonstrating the killing of his dog, and why they had to do it while holding him in their custody. I suggest you watch that video and tell if that suggests a man who "ordered" the killing of his own dog...

Wyttcat:
If only you can think properly, you will see that my post went to the heart of the matter, but since you can't, stay ignorant.

Both men are responsible with the ibo man more to blame. How I wish the police didn't come to his rescue to save his neck from a dagger (who knows, he might still meet his demise if he goes back there). And who is running around and have his wife and kid restless now?

Taunting others is what you ibos are known for everywhere you go and you will continue to get the consequence of your actions from your fellow emotional wrecks.

cktheluckyman:
Bloody liars Mr Joachim stated he named his dog after his " hero " buhari and not after his neighbor.Whatever is the case, Mr Joachim committed no crime and there was no reason to charge him to court.If anyone were to be charged to court, that would be those who threatened him for exercising his fundamental Human Rights to name his dog whatever name he wants!!

Shame on the Nigerian police.You people suck

neocortex:


Here we go again, yet another pseudo-tribalist without principles but
judging right and wrong based on who the actors are.

Where in my post did I mention being igbo ?

I know it is difficult transitioning from 14th century to 21st century thinking,
but you must know that there is no room for violent individuals in the 21st
century, at least not in a sane society.

You might think that a an easily-provoked violent man has the right to kill you,
but not everyone shares your view.

Now run off to worship your gods before they put their dagger to your neck.

legba1:


I will advice you to name him buhari trully....inscribe the name on its body like ur friend did.....and parade him in sabo or hausa poulated area and see the end result....for naming his dog buhari, I sincerely dont grudge him, but for writing the said name on the poor dog'g body and parading it on the street of a hausa community, he goofed and could have been mobbed by those fellows and it is your likes that will come here and shout blue murder....must u purposefully look for trouble...haba. he has rights under the law as others do too.

madridsta007:



Let us not obfuscate a story that is so simple because we want to pepertuate a myth.

The man named his dog with the name of his "hero", Buhari. There is NO LAW in Nigeria against this practice.

The man went ahead to state that there was a precedence— he has named his dogs with names of other world leaders, past and present. Consequently, he has a "Mandela" and an "Obama."

There's no LAW against this.

The man has done NOTHING wrong, NOTHING illegal and nothing unlawful. Unless we want to deceive ourselves.

Nothing.

The police has not said anything about the illegal migrant who came to report a Nigerian to them. Nor about the people who killed his dog. (Where are the animal rights activists). Nor about the persons threating to kill a Nigerian man. Innocent man.

Rather it is the innocent man that was arrested.

If this doesn't describe a lawless and utterly confused society, I do not know what else would.

dadexcel:
........... And what exactly is your point my friend?.. That the young man committed and offense by naming his dog a name or what exactly?... Why are you trying so hard to justify a rather foolish and absurd scenario like this one.... Please in as much as most people are living in denial some of us still have brains and are highly irritated when issues like this are giving limevlightvinbthe place excruciating economic hardships!...

cktheluckyman:

The fact remains that no offense was committed!!! How old are you exactly? What portions of the law exactly did Mr Joachim violate by his conduct? Is there any portions of our law that forbids him from naming his dog buhari or inscribing it on its body?

OBAGADAFFI:


Did Yoruba men start fight when they named animal after OBJ?

Why are we always making excuses for intolerance.

Xapio:
Of course I know that one sabo will rear his head and spit rubbish... Tell me exactly the section of our constitution the man violated? That some ediotic set of people choose not to tolerate other people's freedom of speech should not be encouraged. The man simply named his dog "Buhari" which is his hero. He has other dogs that he named Obama, and Mandela, his hero too.. So the man violated no law and the Ogun State police command has no case..

omolola15:


I think that is what police are trying to do. Charging him to court might not be the best idea. But they just averted another bloodshed. I can't tolerate them as well. I'm tired of hearing about bloodshed. But the best way to avoid it is not to look for their trouble. Yoruba will say " mo iwa fun oniwa lounje ore jo ore" which means you should try to know everything about your friend. Know all his character so you can both live in peace.
