this man is just been diplomatic, and careful with words ;.......

Buterflyle0:
You are making my point for me in case you don't see it

He never mentioned dogs or baboons or blood but made an idiomatic expression aka an Hausa Proverb.

This is my earlier comment below. Note the part in red

Buterflyle0:
I just decided to do a simple 3 min research and it so happens that even the press have corrected that erroneous interpretation of kare jini biri jini long ago but the deliberately embittered souls who want to keep up with the propaganda chose to look the other way.

To show you how complex Hausa language is. I translated it to mean a fight to finish and here on premium times it was translated as A FIERCE BATTLE.

How did baboon, dog or blood get involved when none of the words there mean any of those things?

Who made that comment?

Buterflyle0:
Your case is pathetically foolish. Posting that video shows you know nothing about Hausa.

Why not post the original video where he made the comment and here him say kare jini biri jini and then call me a liar

Buterflyle0:
Shut up you this liar personified!!!

Buhari spoke in Hausa that day and his exact words were "kare jini, biri jini", which is a daily Hausa proverb which means "it’s going be a fight to the finish"

I speak and understand much of Hausa so I know. And if you don't believe me then go ahead and ask an Hausa man for its interpretation rather than believing anything you are told. That nonsense rumour began with Reuban Abatti who chose to mislead people like you with lies.

Abatti deliberately lied when he tried to interpret it.

Kare jini, biri jini has nothing to do with dogs or baboon or even blood.

Bloody liar

Illusionist

Efcc is already on his case, if they take decisive action now, it's still people like you that will shout persecution

deebsman1:
After killing many abi? If you or your family were involved, you won't be saying this,ask Victor Moses, how he lost both his parents in the riots
Also are you aware that that same Markafi spent most of his governorship days abroad due to protracted illnesses, that's another fact
Lastly, are you also aware that the guy owns one of the biggest hotels in Dubai? From a very reliable source

Chairman all dis your people are simply just unsellable to us

If they can reject renewal of visa for owner of Chelsea Football Club, they can reject anybody. There, they don't need your money (black money)... They respect law and order.

naijacentric:

blacknp:
Only the Guilty run when no one pursueth,where did reno get money from to buy business Class ticket?last I heard he was fighting for one bungalow in Warri with some tenants,He should come to Nigeria and show us the facts,is it to be hiding somewhere in the United States feeding on negative news?

I know Reno is really home sick,i fell his pain because in the past I have been trapped in the diaspora myself,Home sweet Home.

Sarkin:
Congratulations.

I just want to use this medium to thanks Buhari for putting Nigeria back on the right track.

I believe this man actually studied to become a pilot but he ended up a cleaner, you can see how dammed this country was! But Buhari is making things turn around for us!

After he emerges champion come 2019 Nigeria will become greater and greater.

PDP is a taboo to Nigeria; they say they want to work, I'll say you don't have to be in power to work for us.
When they lose 2019 they can still work as individuals for the country.

I said history proves the opposite but I'd only discuss this further if the thread hits FP

This sounds interesting. Story not complete. Joeruano complete this story.

Joeruano thanks for completing the story.

I try not to talk about my personal stuff on Nairaland,but will make an exception today and tell a story before commenting on yours.

I am a Niger Deltan like you too,and a couple of months ago,my younger sister got married. I am also the oldest child and my dad is late(RIP) and so I am the Head of the family.

I had known her husband to be for a couple of years,and I know him to be a struggling young man,who is into different businesses and trying to survive.

Sometimes, without telling anyone, I push little contracts for him to handle so as to meet up,since he never once approached me for money considering the fact he knows I am on the okay side.

I liked him then,and I like him now. I wished him my inlaw,which he eventually became. I consider him a younger brother and that was how I treated him.

My Sister too, a beautiful young lady works for one of those organizations that pays in the 200k region . My sister is also a prudent woman who I know does not spend money on petty things.

When it was time for marriage. They approached me,and after giving them my blessing, I agreed they should go ahead and plan their marriage in Lagos. Later my mother started giving me heat that we should not ignore tradition,and out of pressure from more of my mothers family, I asked them to go get the list from the village.

When they brought the list, the young man went into a very sad mood and my sister called me complaining that village people want to destroy her marriage.

I will finish this story tomorrow. I am about to go take care of some personal matters.
