Nobody is afraid of hausa. U shouldn't get stupid jst because u want to show u ain't a coward. Now tell me again will the igbo celebrate anyone that write ojukwu or Kanu on his dog and parade it b4 them claiming ojukwu is his hero...

Maybe naming the pet Nnamdi Azikiwe or Odimegwu Ojukwu would have earned him a chieftaincy title from the Lost children of El Chapo.

they idiot said he's not ibo oooo
& named his daughter temi
Let him rot there

AnonyNymous:

No. That's not what happened. If you see my response to the person I quoted before, I said the only thing stopping them from doing such is because if theirbown safety. Fear that the black people would take matters in their own hands. You can see, in the article, people saying that they clearly felt offended by it. A KKK grandwizard even publicly supported it. I remember the time the thing happened, it was all over Instagram and other social media. The KKK have publicly made attempts to humiliate black people and nothing has been done to them, except the ones that actually become violent. All I see is this man staging a protest. What do you have to say about Westboro Baptist Church who constantly hold up anti-gay/anti-lesbian BURN IN HELL signboards at LGBT+ rallies and parades? They are all protected under freedom of expression.
They reported to the police, but authorities told the media they were protected under freedom of speech.

bonechamberlain:
who brought it to the media me or the police, it's also your irrational bias against easterners whether Igbo ijaw ibibio, that is affecting your capacities to critically analyse this case.

bonechamberlain:
the Igbos I know will never result to violence or allow that to "likely breach public peace" or would the Yorubas result to violence.

Chinakwe has learnt his lesson and is now professing love for everything named Buhari. His brain is now reset to its default setting.

Public disorder has been avoided and peace continues to reign in the man's community and the market. All's well that ends well.

That's the power of corrective punishment. Mental pygmies can continue to rant.

tundexijim:


The igbo that I know will do more than violence. Have u seen how they attack anyone that speak against their so called biafra or kanu on social media and to say they won't do worse in a real life scenario is an understatement.

The crime of the man who called his dog Buhari.

Let's apply common sense to this case, though sense is not common. I will also like those with functional brains to reason along with me, and dundee comments. Now, suppose we are in a crowd, say a school, market, bus stop etc, and I yelled out 'John, John come here' or 'Hello John, I am calling you'. And in a twinkle of an eye one or two unknown men surfaced before me, and queried why I was calling them. My reply will be simple 'Sorry I wasn't calling you. I was just calling my friend on the other side'. That ends the matter of the communication breakdown.

Now, a man bought a dog, and named it after his friend Buhari. A neighbor misunderstood him and reported to the police that his neighbor has insulted him by naming his dog after his father. He threatened violence against the accused. Police intervened to settle the problem. The accused explained that he was not referring to his neighbor's father but his dear friend somewhere. Police warned them not to pursue the matter further or breach the public peace. The parties signed a peace agreement as a testimony and returned home.

There was no breach of any public peace or violation of the accord. The same police came back and rearrested the accused for committing an act that could breach public peace. Hmmmm. From where is this charge coming from? The accused has not done anything since he was released. To me, police have bought the matter but it's too late and very shameful. This is worse than a judge reversing himself or herself. They have become the complainant, prosecutor and the judge. They are the ones stoking religious and ethnic hatred that is capable of breaching public peace. Even if someone woke up late and wanted to deal with the accused, the police should have washed their hands off having closed the matter. They already had this man sign an agreement which he has not violated. So when they get to court, what will they tell the judge? Will they claim to not have mediated on the matter earlier? Will they present any proof of violation? This is shameful and embarrassing.

I read that the AIG Zone 2 called for the case to be transferred to his office in Lagos with immediate effect, for him to settle the matter amicably. What happened to that instruction or order? Why was the case not transferred to Lagos? Is Ogun State Police Command no longer subordinate to the AIG Zone 2? We are watching this embarrassing moment of the Nigerian police. Well, they have made the guy a celebrity. In an enlightened clime, he should be writing a book and smiling to his bank. Nollywood, please give us a script on this... imagine the outcome.

fiizznation:
Good. Next time he should name his pet any of his leaders name and nobody will have any problem with him. Stupid fool. The money he would have used in catering for his pregnant wife is now been use for 'irrelevant' case like this. You don't go about looking for trouble and expect the law to clap for you.

TheArchangel:
He didn't breach any peace bro, LIKELY TO CAUSE BREACH OF PEACE is what he is being accused of. Nigeria is indeed a necrotizing fasciitis- a flesh eating bacteria.

He is yet to commit the damn crime. Like accusing someone of " likely to rob or fight or " This is preposterous indeed.

that's a private business owned by an individual interested in making maximum profits, so if he was in the ministry of finance, he would be fired because he has the tendency of being a thief.

Timoleon:
though u r not referencing from the article, i would respond from ur perspctive...u mentioned 'for their own safety' this simply means you acknowledge there is a chance peace or sanity is lost and violence occurs. Hence they took precautions, distributed at night. The law which chinakwe is charged of violating exists also for our own safety. Except you are intentionaly being insincere, u should know the group is more powerful than the individual. An individual kkk member wont go into a black dominated corner of the bronx or queens to show off his hatred...he wont survive, the police may not see his body. Even here in nigeria, as a group, a robbery gang or a cult may strike terror in the heart, but when they walk alone, they must respect themselves. That you have freedom of movement does not mean u move anywhere, there are sports u avoid for ur own safety, and the safety of others. True we enjoy certain freedoms, it does not give us rights to trample on other peoples sensitivities. I will end my comment wit a scenario. Please be fair and sincere in ur assesment of this. Imagine u and i are neighbours, u are married with a six months old baby, i ama bachelor who is care free and believes strongly that that constitution guarantees me freedom. So all day i am in party mood with my sound system. Afteral, i bought the system with my money i fuel my gen myself, as long as i dont put my speakers in ur room, it shouldnt be ur concern, however, i have a speaker just outside my bathroom which faces directly into your babys room so all day and through the night i am playing loud music (my business). You try resolving this with me tru talks but i only turn the music louder. How long before this case degenerates into violence? If u report me to the police and i am charged for a conduct likely to breach the peace would it be wrong?

bonechamberlain:
Is this not madness, what breach of peace, so Nigerians shouldn't do what the feel like doing even though not illegal, because it might offend some backward and irrational people, this is giving into violence for peace, what an irony. These people would surely pay for their crimes someday starting from their god buhari.

bkool7:


Did you read the post at all?

Well, since your mind is too indolent to do that. Lemme assist.

The charge read, “That you, Joachim Iroko, aka Joe, and others still at large, on Saturday, August 13, 2016, at about 5.30pm at the Ketere area, Sango, in the Ota Magisterial District did conduct yourselves in a manner likely to cause breach of the peace, by writing a name, Buhari, on a dog and parading same in the Hausa section of Ketere Market, Sango, thereby, committing an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 249 (d) of the Criminal Law of Ogun State, Nigeria, 2016.”


We all have rights but when you use ur right to trample on others because you hate them... The law will cut u to size

Na WA o, so we are no longer free to choose names for our dogs.
This is wrong. I don't support the man's actions but still this is a democracy we should have freedom of speech, freedom to air out opinions.

Once you shut the masses up we might as well go back to the military era.

since it's about irresponsible provocation, it's not the duty of the police to imbibe responsibility on citizens or the duty of the police to teach people not to hot tempered. If that's the case all irresponsible and disrespectful cases would be handled by the police.

MosquitoREBIRTH:
That is what it means to be proactive, rather than looking for how to investigate when the deed has already been done. Its quite unfortunate that most people, especially nigerians dont know the situation in Nigeria now. Any little thing can at this moment spring up voilence. So its better to arrest the situation than to start battling with "who killed who".

bashydemy1:
Use your brain for once, So because we should be allow to do what ever we want then i can start to insult you since i have the freedom to do so? won't you report me to Nairaland and ask them to ban me? Since there should be freedom of everything why don't start walking naked along the street. Why can't he write his father's name on the dog instead of someone else father's name?

jmoore:

Lawyer, quote the section of the law.

If they call graduates, you will raise your hands abi?

nduchucks:


Please stop acting like a dummy because I don't think you are one. The article clearly states that Joachim's action is punishable under Section 249 (d) of Criminal Law of Ogun State, Nigeria, 2016. You are now asking me to quote the section of the law Joachim allegedly broke.

Well, I have one question for you: Is your father a graduate, and are you one? The answer to this question should reveal to us whether your silly post was done "tongue-in-cheek"

If I were to call you an untrained goat, I'd be in violation of NL rules, so I will restrain myself this time, but I caution you to watch your words.
