OP don't worry, the north know how well to deal with them, they have done it before, by the time they deal with them, the will shout are we not one nigeria again? Biafra etc. They cause the trouble they can't solve. You see the bragging online as if they can kill a fly.

But Adekunle named his goat Ojukwu.

If you love the Ikemba of Nnewi so much that you name your dog Ojukwu in Anambra state and write it on its body, nobody would call the police to arrest you. They would Lynch you. If you doubt me, let somebody try it and you would see the result. The same thing is likely to happen, if you name your dog Buhari in Kano. Nobody would go through the formalities of reporting to the police. Then again, if the father of your neighbor bears Nnamdi, and because you love him so much, you decided to name your dog Nnamdi to express your love. You even wrote Nnamdi on the dog's body for the father of your neighbor to see how much you love him. The son of the man you named Nnamdi may not remember police do exist before he engages you. While it may be wrong to react aggressively to such Irresponsibility, human nature may prevail over reason. Irresponsibility is not exercise of right to freedom. There is no right without responsibility.

Whynotthetruth:


Sorry bro, I find your assertion very hard to believe...Many still name their strong and big he-goats; "Okwadike" today after Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife( Okwadike) former governor Anambra state because of his white legendary moustaches...without any hullabaloo...Even when you go to market and say you want Okwadike, they already know what you need... That's fun not carrying so much burden and bitterness in life...Same reason why you fight for naming a dog is same reason you will butcher people for Mohammed cartoon...

Oklander:
First, the same reason you attack the leader of a region or a religion hiding behind a so called freedom is the same reason you would be butchered! That is, you are looking for trouble unnecessarily and you will get it!

Now back to the matter! The example you gave isn't of the same weight with the topic! Take for instance Ojukwu or Zik, and an Hausa man would WRITE the name on a goat or a dog and be PARADING it in a community filled with Igbos! Let's be realistic please, the guy was just looking for trouble! You are free to insult the president, in fact, call him names but not to the faces of his kinsmen!

One thing you fail to understand is that Igbos don't worship their fellow man. What you are saying can only happen in the north and west where one man lord over others. In igbo it is a common belief that what ever nomenclature you give to your pet, that is what people will call it. Already they have given you an example where he goats are called names of prominent igbo men due to the treat they possess. By the way I don't know why you Yorubas take this issue so serious as if the dog was named awolowo or tinubu. Is yoruba land now belong Hausa/fulani.

Oklander:
First, I am neither Hausa nor Yoruba, so stop the unnecessary assumption. Secondly, it is hypocrisy to ignore the fact this fellow did this to ridicule the president. Again, it would not have mattered if it were just name calling and insults just like it was done to the last president, however, doing it in a Hausa filled community is clearly asking for trouble! The example you referred to doesn't stand in anyway as that is a case involving Igbos! An Igbo fellow naming his pet his fellow Igbos name in an Igbo community, how do you compare this, smh!

Is there any law in Nigeria that forbid people from naming their pet what ever they like, haven't you seen or heard of a dog named Obama. The guy did not call his dog President Buhari because the last time I checked the president is not the only person that bears Buhari.

ariesbull:


You can name your dog Ojukwu in East without consequences because in Igbo land there is an adage that goes like this

Whatever you name your dog, is what he bears

Meanwhile Ojukwu is a name of diety....so if you name your dog that, you have the diety to contend with not Louis per say

mightyokwy:
The gods you said and not police or one Malam that think he owns Nigeria because his brother is the president.

mesoprogress:
mrrights : are you implying that Yoruba land is now owned by hausa /fulani? For all I know, one can safely name his dog Ojukwu in yoruba land. I wouldn't know what would happen if he tries it in Nnewi, just like the story might be different if someone names a dog buhari in Kastina. So Op, unless you are telling us that yoruba land is now owned by hausa fulani, I don't get your point.

Imind:
That young showed high sense of inmaturity, how can u eat a bone in a lion cage.

kutchs:
The South Easterners aren't violent beast. Name your dog whatever you wish, they will just laugh it off and move on. Who has time to waste on such irrelevant thing when the main is to survive. Igbo have no time to waste.

EFX001:



Its amazing how much Nigeria as a nation has fallen. ...the worry is that a citizen has been arrested for calling his dog a name. I mean are our law enforcement agents so void of ideas that they would do that? In a nation of corrupt politicians driving around with police escorts. ...I mean really? wow!

Wadeoye:
You can say whatever. This one has been caught trying to provoke ethno-religeous violence and he will be dealt with accordingly.
It will be a lesson to all flat.heads anywhere they might be.
