Dog protects Elephant destroys.

Destroys what? Just because you aren't conversant with them doesn't mean they are hostile.
Listen to the language of the Indians as regards elephants.

franciskaine:
do you really know the animal called DOG? first it's a reversal spellings of the word GOD. dat explanation is for another day.

Surely I know dogs. I have two GSDs. Besides, Live on reversal spells Evil. Lived on reversal spells Devil. I don't see anything to it.

Secondly, a dog recognizes the smell of a friend for even upto 2yrs of distance from such person.

While an elephant 'never' forgets a companion, even in death. It recognizes the bones years after decomposition and almost refuses to part with the dead body.

Thirdly, a dog fights and attacks the enemy of its friend, if you think am lying, try attack a person who has a dog close-by.

This I know. You should also ask why it is near impossible to go near an elephant. It is because everyone looks out for the other.

Fourthly, a dog has feelings for its owner or friend, a dog can cry when it sees its owner crying. I can tell tell you that most people have dogs as their best friends.

An elephant does even much more. Grieve, show anger, love, compassion and even elaborate celebrations. I once watched elephants jubilating over the birth of a young to their herd. 'Jubilating', I said.

You should spend more time on Nat Geo Wild. You'ld learn much.

My guy, you do well with your points and I totally agree with all of them but one. Number 3. Social Bonding. It is not by mistake dogs are called Man's best friends. Ofcourse, there are many angles through which we can view this comparison. If we are to go by size, endurance and strength, elephant takes it but speed, social integration and smartness, we gat give it to dog. Elephants belong to the jungle while dogs are landlords on their own among people.

Nigeria is not a jungle my brother...

Dogs are man's best friend because they are readily available, unlike elephants. The fact that there are tamed elephants prove that they are friendly. But in a lifespan of 50 years or more, an elephant can only produce a maximum of 6 offsprings.. But a dog?? Like 100 offsprings. Unfair basis for comparison if you ask me.
Besides, you should read up the story of Tarra (the elephant) and Bella (the dog), a real life scenario. The creatures are in no way ordinary hostile. The dog also, never had its place amongst humans. It grows accostumed to the life it is shown.

Last week, Bella was believed to have been attacked by coyotes and died, leaving Tarra to mourn the loss of her best friend.

Bella and Tarra played and ate together, and often had sleepovers in a barn, according to the Leavenworth Times.

Sanctuary caretakers believe Tarra found Bella's body after the attack and carried her to the spot they often spent time together.

"The idea that she couldn't leave that body and brought it back home is just heartbreaking, but so inspiring," Robert Atikinson, CEO of the Elephant Sanctuary, told Nashville's WKRN News 2.

Once, when Bella suffered a severe spinal cord injury, Tarra patiently waited for her friend's recovery. CBS detailed the moments in a 2010 story:

For three weeks the elephant held vigil: 2,700 acres to roam free, and Tarra just stood in the corner, beside a gate, right outside that sanctuary office...

Then one day, sanctuary co-founder Scott Blais carried Bella onto the balcony so she and Tarra could at least see each other.

Lol, that awkward moment when a party campaigns with a wild animal unlike the APC that campaigns with a dog a friend of man(domestic animal). The simple message discernible from the PDP's elephant is - vote us and be crushed for the next 4yrs.

Welcome to Nairaland, where you will be led aright.
Talking about companionship, sorry to burst your bubble, but an elephant understands devotion and committment better than a dog does.
An elephant mourns a dead friend, shows grief and even pay homage whenever it comes across the remains of a dead companion (any creature at all).
Just because they are very few doesn't mean they can never be domesticated. Rather, they resist attempts to separate them from their lifelong companions (be it elephant, humans or even dogs (see Tara and Bella). They also protect their immediate family and friends from harm at all costs.
Generally, they are peaceful.

snowland:
This clearly shows PDP lacks creativity...If because APC campaigns with dog and PDP thinks for them to compete with APC, they should campaign with Elephant, it clearly shows lack of PDP's understanding of the dexterity and agility of these two animals. Comparing Dog with Elephant is like comparing power bike with Molue. Ofcourse Molue has the robustness but it lacks the speed of power bike.

Is this no longer a race for the Presidential Election? Abeg make them put the two animals for track make we see which one of them go win. When the chips are down, na then dem go know how far. No be by how big, na by how smart. Dogs are way smarter than elephants.

SMH for PDP. Dem for kuku use SHEPOPOTEMUS na.

Like I always say, they are bunch of silly jokers.

You have reasoned well. But you reasoned from one direction. Speed alone.
1. The elephant is more valued expensive than a dog, in this case, a German Shepherd.
2. The elephant is tougher than the dog and has a longer life span.
3. The elephant has a greater social bonding and highly viviparous compared to a dog.
4. Their strengths are incomparable. Both physical and senses, the elephant absolutely surpasses the dog, save for sight. No need to talk about this angle at all.
5. Have you heard of the saying 'An elephant never forgets'? Their brain matter are miles apart.

Put the two in the wild (Nigerian hostile zones) and see who lasts the mile.
Bring it on!

Too much time.

The official cooler is the yellow one jare.

Buhari and Ambode don't even know how to flash a red card
By the way, what Party is ruling Lagos?

That must be the man who invented the 'pillow'

#NaWash..

Mehn.. This costume always looks odd on Nigerians.
First D'banj in Miss Endowed was a complete joke! He looked like he needed some saving himself.
Now, Basketmouth; this 'thing' combined with his hairdo, it sure looked like he escaped from somewhere.
These slim guys should let this costumes be jare. Dem no watch cartoon ni?
Or should we talk about 'The Naija Barney?'

Picture of the APC politician giving the guy the money OR you are a mumu.

Go and read for your multiple carry-over courses.

Mumu IMSU-fool.

Question: What is the only difference between a Nairaland APC fanatic and a motor park tout?
Answer: The motor park tout has some decency.

Only few people can afford such schools.
But personally, I can NEVER do that.
Although there must be some sort of discipline in every school, maybe not the type you are used to.

The footwear of the girl gave her out.. Besides the waist is quite high and curved to be hers, as well as the posture of the legs on the couch.

Before you even upload the picture, move this post to the 'Jokes section'

I'm more concerned with Nigerians' dispositions after the elections.
Too much is being said about just one event while a million other more meaningful events are happening all around the globe.
They can smear themselves all they want. I don't share surnames or reputation with either of them.

Pictures or

Not a laughing issue. This generation care less about their academic achievements.

Why do I have this feeling that this story isn't right?

A blind snail starves only itself of food.
The IGP has spoken.
Since you are a stranger to bombs, thuggery and stray weapons, I wish you luck.

The real question is 'Where have they been all these while?'
Except for Gov. Rochas Okorocha who always had this as his modus operandi from his APGA and PDP days, others are just play-acting.

First, it was South African troops, now US troops.
Hopefully it doesn't become Israeli anytime soon.

#in Chris Brown's voice#

All the bullshit's for the birds

You ain't nothin' but a vulture

Always hopin' for the worst

Waiting for Jona to fvck up

You'll regret the day when he wins the election, yeah

Who knows just what he need,
Buhari knows just what Jona means

When he tell him keep it drama free
..

AMEN!!

That moment when you find this funny, forgetting that the future is being polluted with dirty 'hateful' politicking.
#NotPartyToThis!

Thoughtless Boko Haram Members, For your information, the Nigerian Army is advancing all nooks and crannies of Borno as we speak.
So you better leave the same way you came for they are leaving no stones unturned.

And leave your weapons behind too. Your mates did.

I thought one online news site in the desert mentioned that this man is no longer on song with the PDP?

I pity the misled souls..
