OGOJA – FIVE persons, a man and two of his children and
two others were confirmed dead on Friday in the village of
Uchenyim , Wanikade, North Ukelle in northern Cross River
State after eating the meat of a dog.

Reports from the area said the dog was fond of eating the
eggs laid by native chicken in the Odareko-Uchenyim village
and one of the villagers allegedly laced the eggs laid by his
chicken with gamalin 20 insecticide and as expected, “the
dog ate the eggs and fell ill and when it was about to die the
owner quickly killed and prepared it into a delicacy which
he, his family consumed and some neigbours consumed ”
Ugbem Onawo, a villager narrated to Vanguard.

The man and his two children and the two others who died,
according to the report also ate the intestines of the dog
where incidentally the poison from the gamalin 20 is lodged
leading to their taking ill and dying . “After the man shared
the intestines among his children and the two neighbours
and they ate death came calling and they all died though at
different times ”. Our source said

Onawo said they were rushed to the local health centre for
medical attention but were confirmed dead on arrival at the
health centre. “A feeling of grieve has descended on the
entire village and people are deeply saddened by what took
place as such a tragedy has not befallen them before”
Hon Frank Ugbem, the councilor representing Wanikade
Ward at the Yala Local Government Area legislature said the
tragedy is painful and that he has sent a delegation to
console the bereaved families.

He said all the dead have been buried in accordance within
the tradition of the Ukelle people......

PapiWata: The man at least died as hero among lovers of dog meat, known in his neck of the woods as "Ebuwa" meat. Matter of fact it would not be surprising at all if the victim of this dhoggie dinner comes to be remembered with reverence and fondness, as a veritable patron saint of dog meat eaters in Calabar, Nigeria and beyond.

This die-hard lover of dog meat did not let his enthusiasm to score a free meal of his favorite dish be dampened by the high risk of poisoning with the same powerful insecticide used to kill the dog he elected eat as "punishment" for bad behavior.

Well, all told, it is indeed a dog-eat-dog world out there, though I am, well, dogged and hounded by the troubling thought that the consuming love for one's favorite dish can in fact be a far GREATER motivating force for some special people, than the very will to live, whereby hard-core connoisseurs of filet-dogghie would willingly consume dog stew made from a poisoned animal, as a means of demonstrating their single-minded dedication to a cause.

Now that, ladies and mentalmen, is an illustration of true loyalty and faithfulness to a Higher Calling, literally to one's last breath.

Long live the Late Eater of Dog, for he is now at the right hand of God, devouring yet more dog stew from a golden, diamond-studded chalice, up beyond the sky.

CoolHunk: Wow! But why should man eat his bestfriend?
