See better 404

No matter the packaging, 404 na still 404 abi

Realist12:
Africans adore anything imported.

Even foreign religions and gods.

I still believe our Amadioha, Ogun, Sango et al are better than all these white man's religion s and gods.

AntiChristian:
You must be a black dog to exhibit such hatred. Are you from the SE too?

is there anything you Muslims like?

How does #1500 translate to $10? Did you copy this post from 10 years ago?

copied post.

Are they as intelligent and trainable as the exotic or foreign breeds?

If they're I'll love to have one.

forgiveness:
Are the fearless? Can they guard property?

Tbh, they're not as fearless as these German Shepherd and other foreign dogs. Although they're trying. And one of the reasons why they aren't fearless is because they're used to people, they roam around, walk freely and see people on a daily basis. So they are not likely to see anyone as an intruder or a threat.

They're only aggressive at night

Dshocker:
They are hardly taken to a veterinary doctor,meaning they have rabies and if there were attack of armed robbers on your property,it is still the same dog that will show the robbers where you are hiding.

Ekuke dey chop shit

Why do people hate these cute Nigerian Local dogs?

They are so lovable and they don't get sick.


What is wrong with the Nigerian Local Breed of dog?

A very wealthy man once came with his dog to the clinic for medical attention but before he came, he had called me. I was really expecting a German shepherd dog or a Rottweiler but lo and behold it was our Nigerian local breed of dog. To be candid, I saw disappointed faces among my staff but I tried to be nice to the man by saying nice things about his dog. We still did our examination and clinical procedures and issued the man his bill which he cleared happily.

Out of curiosity, I asked him why he chose a Local dog. He answered: “I guess I have to answer this question for the rest of my life”. He narrated his story about all the dogs he ever acquired and the sad way they all died. He spoke long about a Caucasian breed he once owned that was more of a companion to him & the way he usually goes to evening walks with that dog. The death of that dog made him give up on keeping dogs entirely but on narrating his story to a friend, his friend told him that our local breeds hardly die of all these diseases so he considered getting one.

I thank God that most members of my staff heard the story. After the man left I raised the question: “But what is wrong with our Nigerian local breed?” One of them said that it belittles the man, that a man of his status should own one of the best breeds available. So I asked again that considering his story about his experience with those breeds they preferred, what can they say? The other echoed that the man must have contacted inexperienced vets to treat his dogs. I only wanted to hear from them. I saw from their views, a resentment for the local breed.
The Nigerian local breed has been called all sorts of names such as “Ekuke”, shit eater, stray dog, local dog, “shinee” to mention but a few. These names are derogatory in nature to make the dog look unimportant and undesirable. “Ekuke” as they are popularly called are the dogs preferred as food for the cultures that eat dog meat popularly called “404” (four-ow-four). They are the cheapest dogs to buy in Nigeria. They are sold as little as one thousand five hundred naira (N1,500) about $10 (ten US dollars).

So what is bad about the Nigerian Local breed?

If you ask many Nigerians that resent this breed of dog the reason why they dislike it, they won’t be able to give you concrete reasons. Many of us have seen very intelligent local breeds. Many of them are trained and used for hunting bush meat by locals in which they perform excellently well. In the rural areas these dogs are usually the best for securing the compound or yard against intruders, although they are good at alerting against strangers. I have seen many of these dogs doing spectacular things but I guess like Jesus said: “A prophet is not recognized in his environment…” I have seen foreigners who prefer our own breed to theirs, pointing out the unique features they possess while we, Nigerians buy books to read about the foreign breeds.
I guess we, Nigerians should start to love our local breed of dogs and also acquire and keep them just like the man in the story above.

Let me tell you a fact that Local Nigerian breeds resist many of the diseases other foreign breeds will die readily from here in Nigeria. So think about it.

Here are some of the dog breeds that make up the Ekuke

1.Basenji

2.Azawakh

3.Greyhound

Una go dey lay ambush for Twitter just to uproot stories and plant here. Originality?

I got one way back in 1999. Got it as a puppy from a litter born by the school dog.

It turned out to be about 50% golden retriever.

Most intelligent dog I ever owned.
1. Eats only what you give it. Won't touch what you didn't give it even if you leave the kitchen open.
2. Loved good life. Watched tv and would always run into the sitting room as soon as the AC was turned on.
3. Got along well with visitors during the day but would bite their hands off at night when we lock the doors.
4. Knew when it was time to start night watch. Leaves the sitting room to commence guard duty as soon as the tv was turned off.
5. Loved kids and would tolerate their manhandling
6. Knew basic commands even though we didn't actually train him to do those
7. Hardly barked except when something out of the ordinary happens eg a stranger driving the family car
8. Was the unofficial bell. Low growls meant someone was at the gate.
9. Loved comfort. Would creep into your bed to sleep if you left him in the room while taking a nap.
10. Was the unofficial doctor too. Would follow you around if you were sick. First clue we always got that someone might be sick. Would stay by the bedside too.
11. Hated water and bath time � but tolerated it. Always bolted out of the area when bath time was mentioned.
12. Would help gather clothes too from the lines if it saw you gathering them. Sometimes a bit too enthusiastically.

All in all a very smart dog.

Sorely missed.

ABG2222:
They look malnourished and lack confidence. Just one stone and they're gone.

There's a dog in my neighbourhood back then. Bro, you can't throw a stone at that dog and go scot-free.

Nor play with Tupac o.

Back in Nigeria in my household we are Dog people.. we have a German Shepherd but my dad purposely purchased a local clean dog from neighbouring country... we took both of them to vet togther for regular treatment...

The local dog is very strong eh...

When we relocated...he kept searching online vet adoption center that has an African local dog...

It was a long search...so he had to finally had to settle with a Golden retriever...

for the shi,t matter, many dogs still chop shi,t here. i mean they chop dog shi,t that means if they see human shi,t they go still wack am too

While you were talking i was like buying it until i saw the first picture , i reconsidered my stance na Ekuke him be.

posty56:
because they're are dirty , unkept ,and may be filled with disease,plus they have this local looks that's not attractive at all, German Shepherd all the way

How are they dirty, unkept and filled with disease? What type of disease? What makes u think a German shepherd can't be dirty, unkept and filled with diseases?

Dshocker:
They are hardly taken to a veterinary doctor,meaning they have rabies and if there were attack of armed robbers on your property,it is still the same dog that will show the robbers where you are hiding.

Ekuke dey chop shit

Is it d dog that will take itself to the vet?

Even Brazilian president love ekuke

Adakintroy:
You made that up abi?

No I didn't, that's their name

Akalia:
Where can I buy the greyhound breed in Nigeria?

Those fulani hav this breeds for hunting

VPN11:
Your so right 100%
Our; so call Ekuke; can survive multiple diseases;they are hunters ,they live long,if they are not hunted down for food (404).[/b]They are native /indigenous to our region;low maintenance;the merits are enormous.

[b]Thanks.

They dont need all these special food foreign breeds eat..

jendhorlee:
Meet Zuma

Nice, well built like you said. I think the excess furs on those foreign breeds make them look bulkier and more attractive physically. These local breeds do interact with humans really. I'd have both for different reasons. BTW you cropped out the face. Would your dog be recognised facially if you posted?

AntiChristian:
Muhammad was still greater than your dad and his generations though!

Your generations has only been known to spread hatred and bigotry!

Muhammad the pedophile is not even greater than the rats in my waste bin section.

These rats don't snatch their adopted Son's wife after seeing her naked and revealing Quran 33:50 to justify his wickedness.

BigBashiru:
Are u okay??

The question is was Muhammad okay?

A man who at 51 married a 6year old doll playing girl child.

AntiChristian:
Yeah, i only remember how your mum was raped by his boyfriend to birth you and your other siblings!

At least better than your mum that will be raped by you in the Islamic paradise according to Islam.


You and your dad in view of Allah will be having your mum and sisters as part of the 72 wives bounty in hell
