BBC, who instructed president Bola Ahmed Tinubu to jump into the most harsh economic policies he took immediately after his first days as president of Nigeria; policies he took without any ministers or advisers who would have told him the policies would decimate the population of Nigeria?

Getting a hawk as a pet is more better, there feed is not that much.....

Omo, the way some people are bringing out options of garri and groundnut as dog food is very annoying and disturbing, how will the dog grow very well, if you know you can't take care of a pet, don't get it na.... undecided

What happened to eba and fish? Go to your local butcher, pay 500 naira for his left over bones and mix with your dog's eba. Shikena

Dogs love bone, but bone is not a balance diet to them, is just a casual meal that doesn't fill there stomachs, just feeling how does poor dogs will look so thin and weak, Omo unna dey do things oh, if you can't train it, why buy it then...?

Shior. Typical of Nigerians not cutting their coats according to their cloth. Even before Balabu came to seal our fate, how many pet owners in Nigeria are actually financially capable? Same pet owners on 1-0-1 diet?
Anyway, the decision to give the dogs out is highly commendable as against allowing them starve or running rampage in the neighbourhood. My parents have stopped raising chickens due to poorly fed dogs and cats owned by Nigerians who can't feed themselves well but who have insisted on keeping pets.

pet owners isonu... You better switch to Nigerian Shepard aka ekuke. I own 1 and i no send him papa, it eats whatever i eat for that day and if i don't feed it it goes to the street to feed itself with anything including human shit. For those saying original german shepherd bark will make me shit and mess on my body don't you think mine always alert me when my house/wife's shop is being broken into? Of course it does so what else is special about oyinbo dogs except unnecessary billings

With all due respect, the die has been cast. It is for Nigerians to awake.

You are strong ohh, four this kind time. How about. Your family, I hope you didn't abandon them.



Psoul:



Not easy at all taking care of these pets.
Mine (4 of them) have learned to eat any food available now not just only foreign dog food alone.

This Tinubu period requires thinking out of the box. If at all i needed to keep pets, I'd rather go for goats,chicken or even cats because they have second hand protein values if you understand what i mean. Incase i become financially handicap to feed them, i wouldn't have to subject my pets to trauma of giving them up, ko' da nah.... shocked

That humans have lost it is shown in the use of the pronoun “him” and her to describe an animal! An animal is referred to using the pronoun “it”!
