First of . . . you need to get the story straight.

I posted the bellow on same thread.
The complainant was a Mr. Buhari, a neighbor who felt offended. Agreed, the dog owner has the legal right to name his pet any name, fine, the northerners are easily offended (which I find appalling), but incitement to disturb the peace is a serious one.

According to the report, the man not only named his dog 'Buhari', his neighbor's name ( probably they were best of enemies), he wrote it on both sides of the dog -- that's overly mischievous, and a threat to public peace.

The location matters (he has a neighbour by that name). I remember naming my dog Hitler in the mid 90s (thinking he will be fierce, dog was as timid as a mouse . . . ended up being stolen and eaten by some neighbour), but that was in Ibadan (the average resident in my area then could careless, that is if they even know who or what Hitler represents) it would have been f00lish and insensitive to do that in a Jewish community, German community, even anywhere in Europe, or have a jewish neighbour.

We need to learn to live with each other in peace, even we think twice before naming our kids, checking to see how it will be perceived, that does not mean we do not have a right to.

It is not everything you have a right to, that you exercise your right on.

BTW, I think this should be a civil case, and the guy shouldn't be behind bars for over a week now, but this is a reflection of our immature justice system, that protects only the rich or influential.

I woke up to a thread with the caption"An Igbo Trader Arrested For Naming His Dog Buhari". https://www.nairaland.com/3293032/trader-arrested-naming-dog-buhari/8#48553955

This trader was arrested for not only calling his personal property buhari,but also inscribing the name buhari on both sides of his dog. He was arrested by the police for provocative behaviour capable of causing ethnic rivalry. The purpose of creating this thread is to use this particular scenario in comparing two countries (America and Nigeria) both practicing democracy and showing why they both advanced differently. Whatever judgement you reach after reading is a function of your IQ.
In 2010,an American pastor in the person of Terry Jones threatened to burn the koran,reason being he thinks Islam is a religion from the devil. He was condemned internationally,one would think he would be getting arrested sooner than later for threatening public peace by the FBI,but no arrest was made. He wasn't arrested because America as a country understands the principle of rights and privileges. It took a phone call from President Barack Obama to Pastor Terry Jones,appealing to his sensibilities to understand the consequences of his action on the safety of U.S troops serving in the Middle East,the planned koran burning wasn't to be after this emotional phone call.
Coming home,this igbo guy was arrested and kept in a cell,simply for naming his dog buhari,who is buhari?
On a closing note,by now we should be able to tell why both countries developed differently. One understands the conversation of dialogue,the other understands the conversation of force.
We can see the conversation of force in the way ipob,nda,this igbo trader cases are being handled.

Mynd44, reading this might help your sensibilities. Btw,i never insulted you. Gracias!

Excellent submission.

Where one's right ends is where another's begins. You have a right to stretch your arms as you wish but you have no right blocking me from passing. The Igbo man was provoking a reaction which could have led to serious fight. The Hausa man did well by reporting him. The police didn't handle the issue well by detaining him beyond 24 hours for a civil offence but that may have saved him from being attacked by the Hausa man.

This is by far the daftest shhh i have ever read in my life


What really is the matter with Nigerians It's like for every sane person you see, there are 10 insane people like the poster above I just quoted.

Freaking disgusting, wish i could slap ur wretched face, but alas i can't and that irks me

so naming my property whatever I want should depend on my location

what the fvck is wrong with the citizens of this country

Well they elected Buhari a man who only shot his way into office in the past, so that should give you some insight to their intellectual capabilities. Electing a gun toting criminal again in 2015, daft bunch.

i hate u all, daft murrafvkers, bish nigggah, panzie, assswipe, shhitwad, the daftest murrafvcker that ever lived, mtcheew

Buhari security agents goofed in arresting the igbo man. He did not name the dog president buhari. There thousands of buharis in nigeria. Someone must obtain waec.period.

You can name your dog Buahri
You can name your Pig Ojukwu.

But you have to consider your Location first for your own safety.
You can hide in your village and enjoy any stupidity you can come up with.

At the rate Nigeria is descending , only God knows what Nigeria will be by 2019, When Obasanjo named a Chmpazee Patience and handed it over to a game reserve in Cross river state , the whole Nigerian hypocrits kept quiet as if nothing happend , now somebody buys a dog and calls it Buhari and the whole Nigerian Hypocrits take sides and demand for the man's head, i can see why this country is cursed and called a zoo and while some people want to opt out by every means possible, Nigerian problem is hypocrisy which has eaten deep into the societal fabric , there is nothing like human rights , right to expression and freedom fo speech , it is as if the spirit of hypocrisy has taken over Nigeria
,i even saw during APC campaing how a monkey was named PDP and covered in PDP attire.

Some uarmed demonstrators are shot for demonstartion while pigs masquerading as herdsmen are busy ransacking , killing and brutalling oppressing other peopl and not a single arrest is made.
i only have a mesage for the hypocrits supporting this level of of abuse of personal rights.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me

It was exactly the same kind of uncivilised behaviour of citizens from the Eastern part of the country that started the riots in the north before the civil war.
