Below is what the Popular comedian posted on IG…
My dogs and I back in the day. Must have had like 12 at a
particular point in time. Interesting time. That time I mean. I had
traveled and returned at night, but was too tired to relate with them.
OBJ, the big Alsatian was the head of the pack. Then Obama was the big
black and white Great Dane, the Alsatian on the bummer was Thatcher.
Thatcher must have given me like 18 puppies… In her good days (X120k
per puppy) the ridge back by Thatcher was called Madiba… It arrived from
South Africa on the birthday of Mandela… The Second Harlequin Great
Dane was named after Queen Amina… But the fiercest of my odds were
Chaka, IBB AND Abacha. They took no prisoners. In fact, if I gave you
anything I had used before, like shoes or clothes,my advice is not to
wear them to my home.
Because if Chaka, or Abacha caught a whiff of that item on you… You
will not like yourself. They were my trusted securities and my friend.
One time in LEKKI, 1997 or so, a guy scaled the fence into my compound
in the night. I was woken up to a shouts of “Oga come o!!!!!” “Oga I am
finished!” And Usman my maiguard was having a good laugh. At 2am! The
petty thief was on the roof of my V-Boot. I was more scared for his life
than he was of it. Because then we had Chaka, Ghadaffi and Clinton.
Those who new these dogs will testify to their brutality.
Go ask @basorge_tariah and @officialbunmidavies… But with hind sight
now, I am just thanking God. Yes oooo! O have to thank God ooo. That it
was not now, that I named my dogs after any sitting president and
foreign leaders. In fact, Obasanjo himself was very impressed years
later when his friend that brought me a gift from Baba, told him how a
dog called OBJ in Ali Baba’s house nearly killed him. Baba used to warn
my wife then, that if she ever decided to have a dog meal, she should
not touch OBJ… But then again, OBJ had a different kind of personality
and a high sense of humor. Everyone can not be the same. So I
understand. An that is all I have to say.
President Mohammadu Buhari is a respected man. He is a sitting
president. Nothing should be done to discredit him. Just as nothing
should be done to rubbish his name. But to all his dogged supporters who
are screaming blue mother because of the dog issue, hear this, THIS IS
THE SAME PATH THAT PEOPLE WHO MESSED UP JONATHAN’S PRESIDENCY TOOK. You
can not tell me that in the over weeks or so that this issue of name dog
or not name dog started, the people who work with or work for PMB have
not brought it to his notice.
Is that what is bothering this country? How many Fulani herdsmen who
have killed several Nigerians have been swiftly brought to justice like
this dog naming guy? We just have a bunch of senseless and jobless
people swallowing panadol for another person’s headache masquerading as
patriots. Let me just say this one time here and I will not comment on
this again. Mr President should cal the IGP and attorney General to
order. There are more pressing issues than the name of a dog taking over
the times of our courts and heating up the polity. Awon Alai ni nkon se
oshi.
