God will punish nairabet for me, after a series of consecutive losses(maybe 20, prolly more), resulting to the loss of over 2 million naira in winnings, I used my last 68naira to bet for 151naira and I won...isn't that wickedness?

Goke7:
This your smooth talk sounds interesting I must admit but its not as straightforward as you think, I don't think tinubu will move to pdp. He is likely to form a new party and may be the disgruntled folks in pdp will team up with him and then go on from there. Remember lots of disgruntled folks from pdp also moved to the APC. So we may have a situation where disgruntled folks from both the pdp and APC teaming up with tinubu on a new platform.

These are all assumptions bruv

30 something quotes from you and still counting, oh boy you seriously need work, because I can see how a working class individual will be on every thread quoting comments. You visually spend all your entire time online, you need to go and work.

On the Current Topic Of Debate: #DogNaming.

There is no doubt many persons seem to bring in varying ethnic, religious & emotional sentiments into this, as well as our dislike for president Buhari but, if we set aside these flaws in our eyes, occluding our vision, we might come to appreciate the fact that indeed, a crime was committed.

Having observed the situation from various angles, it has become clear that the Judiciary as well as security officials are looking at the situation and seeing one thing, while the citizens, particularly, those who harbor a natural disdain for the president, are looking at the same situation and yet, seeing a totally different thing.

To some persons, they only see the unlawful sentencing of a man, who has done nothing wrong, but only name his dog what suits him, by a qualified judge, following the tenets of the Law, in a court of competent jurisdiction, without bothering to read the verdict of the case. These set of persons argue that the Defendant in question has committed no crime in naming his dog Buhari, a position which I completely agree with, but, WAS THE MAN SENTENCED FOR NAMING HIS DOG BUHARI??

Now, this is the questions in which majority of persons fail to understand, nor answer. According to the Verdict or the court, The defendant was arraigned for carrying out actions capable of breaching public peace and instigating not just ethnic but also religious and political violence, and this includes but not limited to;
1. The defendant boldly printed on the Body of the dog, the name "Buhari' (where has the name of a dog been written on the dog before)?
2. That the defendant paraded the same dog with name boldly printed, in the Hausa Section of the market. (He did not just leave the dog in his shop but wants it to be seen not just in the market but in the Hausa section)
3. That a certain popular Alhaji Buhari is a trader in this Hausa section of the market.

We might dislike the president and his policies, particularly in the current period as it isn't favorable to Nigerians, a situation which has resulted in increased hardship, but, if you tell me that these actions, as detailed above would not lead to a breach in public peace, breakdown of law and order and culminating in ethnic, religious and political violence, then, it's obvious that you are not seeking for the rule of law.

Ridiculing the president obviously isn't a crime, as it is not yet contained in any part of the constitution, but doing so in a manner capable of breaching peace, in a very large way is a crime.

If you are from the east, and you still disagree that the actions above are capable of breaching public peace, and instigating violence, then let me give you this example.

Imagine that an Hausa/Fulani man, boldly wrote on the body of his dog or ram, the name "NNAMDI KANU or OJUKWU" and paraded same in the Onitsha Main market, or around Upper Iweka or in Ariaria market, Aba. What do you think would be the result??

Traders clapping and laughing for him??
Obviously not.

I might not like the president or his policies, but this is not a matter of scoring political points.
The president did not arrest nor arraign the man, a member of the society complained and the police arrested him, for acting in a manner capable of breaching public peace.
It could have been worse, numerous lives have been lost for acts less than this, and after the lives have been lost, we accuse the police and security operatives of not being able to maintain public peace, when they do, we bring in all forms of political, religious and ethnic sentiments into it.

I agree that a number of wrong judgments and decisions might have been unlawfully passed recently but, this one, THIS ONE, THE MAN IS GUILTY of ACTIONS CAPABLE OF BREACHING PUBLIC PEACE!!.

He is not guilty, nor was he sentenced for naming his dog Buhari. Its always important to read the full story.

P/S: I am not a Buhari nor an APC supporter, but truth has to be said in this case.

God bless you.

There's nothing strange about this development. Everything in Nigeria is tied to politics, even issues which ordinarily should have nothing to do with politics are usually influenced by partisan sentiments.

The niger-delta activists all went dumb during the reign of GEJ, even though we all know GEJ did nothing for the region during his presidency. Similarly we had cases of policemen arresting, incarcerating and even killing massob members some years back under GEJ, but we never heard any uproar from anyone in the SE cos the politics in Abuja appeared to be favourable. Similarly there were countless number of fulani herdsmen strikes and clashes with communities in the middlebelt region and in some cases, in the upper parts of the SE; there was never an uproar against the government for the same obvious reasons not until May 29th 2015, and then we all remembered there was some menace in existence called fulani herdsmen.

Furthermore, during the time of GEJ, northern youths raised a lot of dust over even the most meaningless things, today worse things are happening but they've all gone cold and dumb. Can someone please imagine what would have happened had it been that the zaria shiite massacre happened under GEJ?... Hell would have been let lose and the northerners who are mainly sunnis would have remembered that even the shiites are still their brothers and sisters.

Now the SW which has always championed the cause of restructuring seems to have also gone mute, the reasons are obvious, its the abuja political sentiment.

In summary, the fact is that when people make a loud uproar against a perceived injustice, the driving force most times is usually politics; when the politics in Abuja appears to favour a group, the group tends to sheath their swords.

I remember a certain Yoruba chief and spiritual leader saying if Buhari isn't voted for, people should be thrown in the lagoon. Yorubas are more power hungry and control freaks than Hausas

Misterdhee1:
He is igbo..! If we, as a tribe contribute in ethnic bigotry been exhibited by his tribe in administrations that aren't led by persons from our tribe, does he think Naija will still stand as a Nation? We are civil in our actions and thoughts, and that is the basic underlying principle of our existence as a people. Call it cowardice, but it has helped propel us as the most important political factor and unifying agent in the Nation
