Story of Nigeria's Largest Dog Market

The market in question

This is the story of a popular market in Plateau State here dogs are massively sold to interested people. 

This ancient market, situated in Dawaki town of Kanke local government area in Plateau state, has earned resounding fame across most parts of the North-east, North-west and South-south Nigeria as the country’s largest dog market. 

Here, young and average dogs, mostly locally bred with visible signs of malnourishment are seen chained by mostly women who trek the almost two-kilometer distance from Dawaki town or other Ngas speaking communities every Thursday ,to sell them off at a price. The market, originally established to focus on livestock, today boasts of having one of the largest and most lucrative baobabs (Kuka) leaves section which when purchased in bulk, are often sold off in other parts of the state as well as other northern states like Kano, Kaduna, and Borno. Though still a local market, Dawaki has become so fundamental that locals say it serves as a window that connects the North and South, Nigeria with other neighbouring Sub-Saharan African countries.

Association Is Important

One of the most tragic verses in the Bible is 1 Samuel 31:5 5When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him. 6So Saul and his three sons and his armor-bearer and all his men died together that same day. Saul's three sons and his armour bearer did not have to die! They were young men with a bright future before them BUT they were being led by a doomed man and so they were doomed! 

Not because they did something bad but because they were implicated by association! Beware of whom you follow! If you follow a cursed man, you will attract curses and misfortune into your life! In your workplace don't do anything that is wrong by Bible standards, it's okay if they fire you but don't do certain things because it is "order from above".
