Re Dogs and Baboons. ~ Bucky Hassan.


"God willing, by 2015, something will happen.

They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way.

“If what happened in 2011 (alleged rigging) should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, dog bloody baboon bloody.’’ ~ Muhammadu Buhari. May 2012.


"Kare jini biri jini" translated as "Dog bloody baboon bloody", the proverb or idiom PMB quoted, means:
A fierce competition'. 'A tough fight where neither side will give up'.


It is often used in a sporting context to describe hard fought sports matches.


If I say 'It is raining cats and dogs', do you believe cats and dogs will fall upon you from the skies if you go outside? Of course not.


You understand it is an English idiom that means it is raining heavily.


How some twisted 'kare jini biri jini' to mean physical violence is impossible to understand.


If PMB says 'kare jini biri jini' about Nigeria playing Cameroon in the World cup qualifiers, would anyone think he means that Nigerian players should physically beat up and violently injure the Cameroonians?

Lol.


Of course not. They would know he means 'It will be a hard fought match. Do not give up'. ~ Bucky 2017.


**As PMB spoke in Hausa, it is actually others who translate it as 'the dog and baboon will be soaked in blood'. The literal translation is 'dog bloody baboon bloody.'

Nice POV

I didn't realise PMB spoke in Hausa. I had always thought he made that statement credited to him, in English. Well, what do you know? We live and learn everyday....
