That is fine. However, you mentioned the phrases, 'Igbo', 'Hausa', 'Northerners', nearly ten times, so forgive people for thinking that it is the issue at hand for you. Linguists call that the 'permeating theme' of your message.

The Igbos will not be offended by one of their own naming an Animal after a Northern President..

The Northerners wouldn't take offense to a Northerner naming a Pig after a South-South president.

And it goes on..

REMEMBER: The person who reported the matter to the Police is a Northerner. So the underlying theme of this saga remains tribal, maybe religious and definitely political.

[b[s]]Stop with the insults..[/b] I neither insulted nor disrespected you or anyone else so I don't see why you feel the need to be disrespectful in your post directed at me. Kindly refrain from such foolishness going forward.

Secondly, I know the Igbos very well as I am also Igbo. If an Hausa Man living in Upper Iweka or Aba dares to name his Goat or Cow after Dim Ojukwu and even shaves the name into it's sides, shiit is going to get real very fast. Such clashes have been sparked by far less issues in the past talk less of disrespecting an Igbo icon of the civil war especially by a Northerner who they consider to be the enemy.

I didn't say he was Igbo, I simply cited an example of how such an incident would play out should a Northerner try it in the East.

And since when has riots ever been sensible? Once shiit hits the fan, everybody is gonna get hit.. And his name is "Joe Chinakwe", I wonder what the irate illiterate Northerners who would be leading the mayhem would think of his ethnicity?

That Man's actions was inciting and I am glad we are having this conversation rather than 'imagine how many people died all because of a joke'[/s]..

There is freedom of expression anywhere in the world but make sure your expression won't cause disorderliness in the society. Even in the US that people are shouting, you do anyhow you see anyhow.

Campaign is over so mind you tongue. During campaign anything is allowed but after campaign you need to caution yourself to avoid wahala.

another unrepentant "sai Baba" was on overdrive above. Every thing, Jonathan. Link Jonathan with Igbo, the story becomes more palatable for nonentities.

Suffer no good i swear. It can completely cloud one's judgement. Nigerians really deserve whatever leadership they have. An incompetent leader who could not manage the people he delegated responsibilities to is seen as a hero in Nigeria. Meanwhile another group will spring up to defend Buhari as the best president in the world. Forgetting that he does not give two phucks about them. What a people?

Are we still in the military regime where one is afraid to express his /her feeling. What's democracy all about if we don't have the liberty to express ourselves. The man has expressed himself the way he knows and what left is for the presidency to get the message pass and sit up

The police got it wrong at the point when they had to re-arrest the man. They should have counselled both parties and ensure the matter is put to rest instead of escalating it to this point.

The man who reported to the police did the right thing instead of taking laws into his hand and instigating violence and communal clash. He could truly be offended by the action especially as he claimed it has got something to do with his dad Alhaji Buhari. More to the fact that there was apparent animosity between both community.

The owner of the dog has the right to name his dog by any name. He could be wrong however, if he did it maliciously to spite others and instigate crisis.

The real culprit here is the police, for not managing the issue well. The two parties could have been educated and the matter settled amicably...but they choose to make issue out of it.

Now enough of this useless nonsense. We Nigerians should work more on living together happily than get excited about issues that further divide us.

That's the wrong sort of mentality. The laws allows the man to name his Dog anything. If he can be killed in Kaduna for exercising a right given to him by the law, then Kaduna should not be a part of Nigeria.


But all of this is just a case of victimisation of an Igbo man by the Northerners and their 'born to rule'

What I am saying is that there are so many over zealous youths in Kaduna

"I no been know" is not a valid legal excuse..

I got that off of Google.. And before you rush to say 'it's not Nigerian Law', note that the laws of Nigeria and most Common wealth nations (India, Canada, etc) are almost verbatim the laws of the England.


If the people who will be incensed by this Mans actions were sensible and logical enough to know that 'CHINAKWE' is a Delta name and not an English name, we wouldn't even need to discuss this Mans action as an issue in the first place.

I love this.
I doubt if u even read that law u rushed to post. Hehe. " any real or personal property of another person" did u see that part at all? Is d dog buhari's personal property?

Sadly you are the dumb one.
When the north is involved, we bend to please them, cos it could cause ethnic clash, cos they are the only one that have monopoly of violence.
We are copying the Europeans and Americans in a style of government called democracy, and in a saner society where democracy is practiced, naming a dog buhari should not be a nation headline. Call a spade a spade Mr man

People are missing the point of this matter...

It is not the naming of the Dog Buhari, its the manner in which the Man went about it. He not only named the dog Buhari, he shaved the name into the 'mane' of the dog on both sides. If that isn't criminal mischief, then I wonder what is..

Now it's all fun and games until one illiterate Muslim sees it, starts spreading inciting messages around the neighborhood about how Igbos have no respect for Islam or Muslims and Northerners and what have you, and the next thing you get is a riot where the people most likely to get hurt are innocent people like you and I whose only offense would be being unfortunate to share the same ethnicity, religion, tribe and other commonalities with an idiot who thought he was being funny.

I maintain it that should an Hausa Man in the East name his Goat or Cow Ojukwu and even go ahead to shave the name Ojukwu into the Goats skin, there will be hell to pay for any Hausa Man, Woman or child caught slippin in the neighborhood.


no hell will break loose cause we are not daft to focus on sumtn so frivolous

Let's be careful about how we interpret our hatred for other people, If he's out of power, you are free, but he's currently in power, it's totally wrong. Such things may be tolerated in America due to the 2nd amendment but in Nigeria, they take their names serious even if their performance is low.

Incitement was an offence under the common law of England and Wales. It was an inchoate offence.[1] It consisted of persuading, encouraging, instigating, pressuring, or threatening so as to cause another to commit a crime.

It was abolished in England and Wales on 1 October 2008
[2] when Part 2 of the Serious Crime Act 2007 came into force, replacing it with three new statutory offences of encouraging or assisting crime.[3] The common law is now only relevant to offences committed before that date.[4]

Incitement remains an offence in New Zealand.[5]

Source: wikipedia
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So how exactly is naming a dog "encouraging or assisting crime" ? - since your source clearly states that incitement has been abolished as being a crime and replaced by statutory offences of encouraging or assisting crime.

Of all the numerous crimes being committed in Nigeria, this is the one Nigerian police have chosen to waste valuable time on. Truly, there is something wrong with this administration, freedom of expression should not be stifled.
