I'm so ashamed with the kind of students we have in our institutions of learning.Why can't our students make research on a particular issue before coming out to disgrace their institutions and lecturers?I'm a student of Abia State Polytechnic and I want to tell that OP that he just showed the world that his institution lacks good lecturers. The man that named his dog Buhari is not guilty of any offence,be it breach of public peace or whatever you call it.Consider the Supreme court's interpretation of section 249(1)(d) of the criminal code cap 29 vol 11 laws of Ogun state of Nigeria in the case between Nelson Ohanyere & 9 VS IGP(1957)SCNLR 213.Check section 39CFRN. Also check section 36(12) CFRN. Students don't argue like touts,we argue with FACTS. #Peace

u can even sue him for defamation of character...
people should stop being callous... Nigeria is greater than all these barbaricity.. if you think it's easy, tell people in your area to stop burning bush or dirty at night, to stop pouring dirt.garbage into the gutter /river and to be using generator less often or stop drinking coke and beer because they are harmful ...

u'll see how easy it is to bring #Change

You are very right...The man even wrote the name on the dog and took it to a place dominated by the Hausas.He had a bad motive for his action

Hmm, so many twist on this story just to favour them. Did he take it to Hausa dominated area or the man resides in that area? So he can't stroll again with his dog because the dogs name is Buhari?

If you ask me, I'll say Obasi Chinedu is allowing sentiment to cloud his reasoning. A man should be allowed to name his dog whatever name he choose. I see no reason why I should be angry or feel ridiculed if a man name his dog Joseph, rather I'll be flattered and complimented that the man chose to immortalise me by naming his dog after me, because whether he knows it or not, he inadvently just made me the guardian of his life.

i agree with u jare. The Op has failed to realised that many people in this tread are dogs in human skin that is why they fail to see anything wrong in naming ones dog after spmebody who is close to you especially when we are not in western world. Why did accused not name the dog after his wife since he claim he loved the dog or does he love Buhari more than he does his wife?

Decrozz:
impeached on what basis? Why is common sense so alien to majority of you people? The op has stated the obvious facts

Common sense should also remind you no one got a write up from this same guy when Fulani slaughters his kinsmen on a regular in Enugu?


Considering the current state of the country no tribe should patronize the other until those old heads come together and lay good examples.

The land is in messy state. People are angry.

HtwoOw:
The real dogs with Buhari's signboard on their foreheads will soon invade the tread and tell us how this writeup is wrong


The man was arraigned for disturbing the peace, trying to cause an ethnic riot ,

Instead of getting the erdyot arrested , if the Northerners had killed him for that stupidity , the other erdyots will come to the northerners to retaliate and so on and so forth till it gets out of hand .


I'll just wait here for them to mention me

Morally it is wrong but legally he has not committed any offense.

honestly, this guy has spoken well. no one should go about instigating trouble that could be avoided.

So how will you feel if a Hausa MUSLIM names his dog Jesus, writes the name on his dog's body, and walks into your church compound with it?
What did that young lady say on the alter that made Bishop Oyedepo take laws into his hands to slap her?
What i understand from Chinedu's write up is that the guy is creating unnecessary where people are living peacefully.

I for o ne would laugh at teh owner and think he has gone insane and leave it at that.
PS there are loads of people called JESUS in south America.

Truth is a bitter pill that is very hard to swallow. Take all sentiment out of ur thoughts lets face fact as it is, u sef tink am? printing the name Buhari on the body of dat particular dog is obviously a breach of public peace. Take it or leave it!

You are still not getting the point. There is nothing bad in naming your dog "Buhari" but writing it boldly on the dog's body and parading it around in neighborhoods that might take offense to it is provocative.

Might I ask you what you think his motive could be for boldly writing "Buhari" on his dog?

I am not ruling out the fact that he might have not meant it as a provocation, but he was arrested because his actions were provocative.

Thats what people do when they are trying to prove a point and he has.PMB is not more important than Trump or Obama

I don't think this little informed OP is writing from the Den.However,if you are really well aware of the story,Joe has not been found guilty of any crime just charged to court and granted bail.There is no provision in the constitution of the FRN that violates one naming his dog or pet any name.When you talk of public peace, may be you have to prove what constitutes 'public peace' until then just shut the hell up and listen to people who know better before showing how ignorant and shallow you are on this matter.For your enlightement I recommend you read Abati's article on Today's Gaurdian Newspaper...if u would have the time..Lastly I am a Super Lion, I don't think UNN has somebody as empty as you...If she does,may be now.

It is commonsense, it doesn't have to be in the constitution to arrest at instances when you think somebody's actions might lead to a break down of law and order. I can't understand what is so difficult to understand in the reason the police gave for the arrest.

At least, the man has been freed. But the arrest was good. If some miscreants had used the opportunity to commit crimes now over this issue, you will all be blaming Buhari and the police for incompetence.

He is guilty yes but should that result in his incarceration? A warning or/and community service would've been adequate. He is not a felon

he was not incarcerated he was only remanded in custody pending when he'll perfect his bail conditions.....

Mr Man I think your brain is working anti-clockwise.
Let me summarise the passage. For you.

1. He never said it his unconstitutional to give the president name after the Dog. infact u Can give ur pastor name to ur pet.

2. If you do so don't use it to instigate violence.

3. You write the name buhari bodly on the Dog and Took it round an Hausa community, through this there will be provocations and confrontation which will lead to violence and cause breach of peace.

4. The reason why he was arrested is because this act can lead to breach of peace and cause violence ,And the constitution is clear on it anybody that cause breach of peace in the society should be arrested, detained,and charge to court

please did you read the write up all, if you did, did you understand what you read at all if not receive sense to understand

TippyTop:


Why did the writer give Onitsha as an example rather than Ibadan where it happened? Doesn't fit in with the writers narrative abi?
An Hausa man proudly displayed a dog with Jonathan as it's name and nothing happened.
Protesters proudly stoned Jonathan’s convoy and nothing happened but do same to Buratai and the entire Shiites were nearly wiped out.
The truth is that Buhari hates criticism, he sees himself as a demi God.
This man promulgated the infamous decree4 of 1984 to stop people criticising him, he has a violent nature.

I'm surprised u said it happened in ibadan. ...go find out again...also, did you take note of the moment they said the complainant father is alhaji buhari?....Gradually y'all dragged the issue 2 PMB.....haba

I guess the above writer is conceiving moves of vying for political post. We don't need such episodes of word on this matter. We all know the man might be wrong by moral perception, but his purported neighbors could be wrong too by trying to take law into their hands. And the police too erred for such insensible arrest borne out of not properly proved evidences. What the writer wrote above as evidences might be wrong as they were all made up by the police. You don't stay in nsuka to say what u don't have knowledge of. Beside, the writer comment is out of tune with reality cos it was based on news he heard, and instead of facing his studies as undergraduate, he prefers seeking publicity. someone should better advise him to face his studies first before he should start interfering in politics. Peope like him are in government now who have spoilt Nigeria up to this point.

You think that your penning down your Igbo names and including your being deputy speaker, Students Union, UNN would authenticate your post ba? Is it not the same SUG Union, UNN, were leaders are being probed for embezzlement of millions and purchase of cars after during their tenure??

Mbok, I'm a Lion too and in UNN, you guys are not even recognized and respected by the students you claim you represent, so don't come here on Nairaland and form politician.

The man in question is not even Igbo anyway, and point of correction, It wasn't in zamfara or kano or jigawa state that this incident happened, it was in Ogun state, a foreign land to both tribes,he wouldn't have done such thing if he were in their land, so your instances of ariaria and onitsha and aba holds no ground.

Also, after the last election result was declared, the hausa's and fulan's in Alaba Alago, Lagos made a coffin and inscribed on it "RIP Jonathan" and took it round the streets and market places, this is just an example of the many ridicules that took place, yet nothing happened, no arrest was made.

I'm not trying to justify what the man did, to be candid, it wasn't mature of him in the first place but my grievance is the extreme bias and loopsidedness of police actions in Nigeria.
The fulani herdsmen have been on a killing spree in nearly all part of Nigeria, yet no notable arrest has been made.
Look at the freshest case of religious extremism in Zamfara state, have any arrest been made yet.
The body language of the security institutions in Nigeria is always cold when it comes to cases of violence in the North.

That is my grievance.

*When I first heard the word PSYCHOLOGY in primary
school, I spelt it "Sychology". I didn't know there was a silent'
letter "P" before it as in (Psychology).*
*When Buhari promised Nigerians ₦45 per litre of fuel
during his campaign, I didn't also know there was a silent "1"
before it as in (₦145).*
We learn every day, don't we?

now dogs are been named buhari.....still learning.

waooo...

The man definitely did what he did intentionally to provoke anger and a possible a breach of peace. What he did isn't a crime but an offence so he should have only received a stern warning (Nigerian police style).

If the dog had been named Gowon or Jonathan would there have been any furore about it? Would the police have been swift to arrest and detain anyone for the interest of public peace? Have they ever arrested any herdsmen who pose more threat to public peace? What I know is that mere accusations and arraignment don't prove guilt only facts do. Let's see how this matter will end
