He doesn't respect his life. There are things security officers know that he does not. Their number one job is to protect him but when he refuses to be protected, then he may as well take whatever he sees. I watched the video closely, the DSS was guarding him, he was pushing the man's hand to stay behind. In fact, his security detail should never have allowed him get to that kind of dangerous situation in the first place. Didn't President Tinubu say he slept well for canceling the Independence Day parade? That is the CC of the Armed Forces taking advice but here is almighty Wike that does not have the same power. Hmmmm

It is better to respect your security detail if you want to preserve your life. There is security intelligence and he was not trained to be one. He should rest please. Nobody is a know it all.

He should thank God, the situation wasn't led to bloodbath that day, maybe he would have been in the mogue by now, yet ignorant online mobs talking constitution.

Even his boss, dodged Almighty independence parade, because of security issues.

SixSeven:
Respect begets respect. It is earned.

The Minister, if he had respect for the rule of law, had no business at the site.

He didn't respect his office.

He didn't respect his delegation of authority to let his directors handle this administrative issue.

He didn't respect his security (I saw him pushing them aside when their first duty is to protect him. He wanted to teach them their job. Even Trump respects the security around him).

He did not respect the officers who put their lives on the line to serve Nigerians.

He didn't respect his legal profession.

He didn't respect the media. He still went on to do a press conference afterwards and his aide, Olayinka called the officer a maiguard. The owner of the land, have you heard him talk? No. The President, have you heard him talk? No. Who took the media to the site? When you saw things escalating, should you endanger the lives of the media on that ground?

He didn't respect God. God that gave him his precious life and position but he wanted to waste it on a trivial fight. The same way KWAM 1 would have lost his head to a needless battle.

He didn't respect Nigeria because now that the video has gone viral, the World will think that's the way Nigerian ministers behave. That's why when you travel abroad, many of what you suffer from is not just the green passport, it's what your government officials do, how they do what they do and their behaviour reflects on every Nigerian, whether you like it or not.

He didn't respect his family, why would daddy be fighting and exchanging words in public like this? What will the grandchildren think about this when they see it?

He didn't respect his children because I am very sure he cannot call his own kids f__l. Why will you call someone who puts his life on the line to defend Nigeria a four letter word?

He didn't respect Mr President because as his representative, considering how delicate his position is in Tinubu's cabinet, despite APC guys not wanting him there, wisdom should be profitable to direct that he should prove the president right that he has sound tactical judgment and political acumen, not drawing the President's image to needless abegro fights.

I'm very sure his security details would have advised him, in which he refused.

Yet some people talking about following law, did Wike follow law and protocols

What you listed above not possible to do without causing problems for yourself

You need second mind(politics) to navigate yourself in a polygamous marriage.

No way you can open to all wives without making the marriage enter crises.

Not possible to involve all them in decisions making, without causing crises in marriage as well, because all of them would start bringing decisions which will favour themselves and their own kids, hence, contradict overall welfare of family as a whole

Almost impossible to treat humans equally, even your kids.

Treat their emotional needs how possible? 3 of the wives need sex same time, how would husband treat such emotional needs. Even 2 wife, no man can satisfy her emotional needs, let alone 4.

If Nigeria is technically advanced, these are kind of things that are supposed to be our main foreign direct "income", but since everyone seeing oil money and doesn't want to think outside box.

When USA barking, many of those you mentioned, will keep quiet, only 2 would be murmuring.

If Trump invade Nigeria, nobody will do "shishi", know that and have peace, even to assist us with little money after invasion, they will not do it.


USA's economy "strength" & military "might" too strong for any of them to even[b]imagine[/b] for confrontations.

SlavaUkraini:
Those of you supporting the Retired Naval Officer for developing a land without building approval will also applaud and dance if there is a military coup in Nigeria ...

Those of you surporting minister to invade private land and bulldoze it without court paper, the democracy you are lauded, how has it different from dictator? Infact, worse than military

amaridigital:
The problem here is that people don't give the same respect they give to Governors to the FCT minister because he wasn't elected but appointed but the constitution was clear that the FCT minister is the sole administrator of the FCT.
Can some soldiers prevent a sitting Governor from assesimg any property in his state? Can you tell a Governor off while he ask for the papers of land knowing fully well that the consent must come from the Governor? Same thing here. Wike acted by the authority confered on him by the constitution and he still have the power to seize that land by going to the Court.

So, they give Wike authority to be grambling land and reallocated same to his cronies?

Even president he represents, does he has absolute authority?


Meanwhile,
Superintendent of police block Sanwo Olu to access estate.

Soldiers broke down stadium gate locked by Amaechi, when he was gov, for Jonathan to campaign
Mopol came to Ekiti govt office and lock it during Obasanjo/fayose saga

If BURATAI, IRABOR, MATTAWALE, BADIRU, IG spoke against Wike, why are you still defend him? Did you know 1/10 of what these people know?

Bye

SalamRushdie:
As someone who grew up in a very military family and even served briefly I was thinking about how some officers became very popular in the country and I decided to make my list of the 6 most popular officers that have come out of the Nigerian military ...This is my list but your are free to add yours .

1 Kaduna Nzeogwu

2 Odimegwu Ojukwu

3 Murtala Mohammed

4 Sani Abacha

5 Mustapha Hamza

6 A M Yerima

You think Yerima popular 1/10 of Sergeant Roger, Babangida, Yakubu Gowon , Obasanjo.
Anyway, you are talking base on your age.

Only Odimegun and Abacha are in class of the those I mentioned.

Goodvibes007:
The soldier would get away with it because he is Fulani - the kings and lords of Northern Nigeria.

If the roles were reversed I.e. The soldier is from the South and the Minister was Fulani or Aristocrat Hausa, that southern soldier would spend a long time in guard room before being discharged or shipped off to Lake Chad or Sambisa forest to face terrorist.

Abi oo, you must look it with lens of ethnicity or religion, since you have been humbled, instead for you to admit you wrong in your opinion.
I guess Gen Irabor is also Hausa, go and read his comments.

BECAUSE WE ARE IN DEMOCRACY, ANYBODY CAN JUST GIVE YOU ORDERS AND YOU MUST OBEY, EVEN THE PRESIDENT CANNOT GIVE DIRECT OTHER TO ANY STATE COMMISSIONER, WITHOUT PASSING THROUGH HIS STATE GOV.

Ttalk:
That was my position all through the debate over the land matter.

This is coming from one of the best lawyer in Nigeria. All the emotion induced opinions can now be thrashed into the dustbin

The same lawyer that say no gov or ministers has power to demolish building.

Have you ever asked yourself, what is Wike doing with bulldozers and several security men?

Is that the way to inspect?

Meanwhile, if you want to inspect and they block the place, is your constitution gives Wike an enforcer of law?

You people are backing Wike as if you don't know is gimmick and manipulation to claim right and have his way at all times.

Isn't Wike who is in PDP and openly campaigns for Tinubu, yet claiming to work for progress of PDP? How would such scenarios work together if PDP also planning to field candidate in 2027?

Pls be endeavour to add 1 + 1 to know if it's 2 or 11, atimes 1+1 maybe 11 or even 1 ok. (That is what they call common sense)

PigTormentor:
This General is wrong.
Wike is wrong for confronting the officer and using thise foul languages but the officer is also wrong for not obeying civilian authority.
Wike is the head of civil authority in Abuja.
Forget sentimental reasons or the fact that some hate Wike for other reasons but a disciplined military always let their officers know that civil authority is paramount.
Why is the officer guarding landed property? Is that part of his official duty?
His also claiming to know more about the land than the executive authority of Abuja.

Keep your coconut head and adamant to correction, even when military authorities, ministry of defence and even president have tactically surport the guy you keep wallowing in your ignorance.

Military, DSS and police are not under anybody except the president.

That's why state Govs calling for state police, because they don't have control over commissioner of police

Wike and his immediate family need to lay low for now, almost all security agencies are angry with him, he has bitten more than what he can shew.

His gragra finally cut to size by small boy.

One thing I now realised is that, whenever topics posted online, vast majority will just want to oppose or attack, only to proof a point and nothing more, even if it's illogical and irrational point, he/she must proof coconut head.

Vast majority of such character, full here on nairaland.

Lanretoye:
All these rubbish can only be found in a country like ours,how can a military have the mind set that one soldiers life is worth more than the lives of 100 civilians they swore to protect.the military too can report to appropriate channels too since the land dispute started but people keep blaming wike for doing his job.so cos I was a CNS gives me audacity and right to encroach on any land?.
In sane countries I have never see the military actively amongst civilians as if we are in military regime where you see soldiers every where.
A retired CNS now still deploys men of the Nigerian army at will,I’m not sure the CDS was even aware of it.
Wike has his fault but the military shouldn’t have been there in the first instance
Some ignorant people will be shouting wike is grabbing land,the land he didn’t grab as a governor of his state then he will be grabbing as a minister of the FCT,after he grabs all the land then another FCt minister will come and revoke everything.we need some common sense abeg
People applaud the soldier for standing against wike forgetting that a soldier that can’t stop internal aggression can never defend external invasion.

Is your life better than military? Is military slave to civilians, is minister has ultimate power to behave like dictator.

BlueRayDick:
Must everything be politics to individuals like you?

I disagreed with a policy and I made an argument against the policy which has absolutely nothing to do with politics.

Instead of bringing a counter argument like the reasonable people who disagreed with my position did, you are here talking about Tinubu's cabinet. I guess because you support the government, other citizens cannot disagree with government's policies right ?

How many of such nations use English?

Does China use English to set exam
Spain? Russia? Belgium? Germany?

The minister is indirectly talking about Hausa and North,who aren't doing well in exams, because they don't used to speak English to them from infancy.

Before they come out from such policy, they have done, EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND COMPARISIM. In the south, all of pupils in private schools started learning English from toddler, you yourself know that and that's why, thr is wide gap between south and north in area of education.


YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT EDUCATION, NEITHER ARE YOU EDUCATORS OR RESEARCHER IN EDUCATION.

Again learn how not to attack everything that comes out from govt or even online, just to win unnecessary argument.

BlueRayDick:
His arguments are flawed.

What about Indians, Chinese and even European countries who use their own indigenous language as language of instruction, and their students/graduates still compete favorably well when placed side by side with those taught in English in the global market?

How many of those countries used English as official language?

They must attack every policies of govt, even when they themselves know is true.

The man is one of best brain in Tinubu cabinet

SpaceX:
The heart of a woman is wicked, men are really trying.... God bless every man out there

Man apology, read below and make more comments

Still surprising how man or woman who married and have kids for each other, would go to the extent of destroying/ killing each other because, things fell apart.

They would not even think about the future of kids that already joined them together.

For today alone, the story of Regina and now Okonkwo, the partners doing everything to destroy each others.

May God help us oo.

Helinuss:
Dey play. Better align with your oga in aso rock

Wike and all those surporting him, the way they think makes me shivering, EVEN IF WIKE WANTED TO DO WHAT HE DID, IS IT SUPPOSE TO BE TIME WHEN THEY JUST ABORTED MILITARY COUP? THE BLOOD OF MANY SOLDIERS STILL BOILING, IF IT HAS SUCCEEDED,WIKE WOULD HAVE GONE BY NOW, MEANWHILE, ITS THE SAME MILITARY THAT ABORTED THE COUP .

Can Wike give order to subordinates and for other minister give counter order?

PEOPLE SHOULD LEARN HOW TO APPLY WISDOM AND NOT GRAGRA ALWAYS.

GanagiBitrus:
I don't think the statement is referring to the Wike vs Yarima saga.

Abi oo, for the person who doesn't know how to read between the line, intelligence not for everyone.


The words of defence minister and now, the president, are tactically to send signal to Wike, and to surport the military publicly.

In other, govt doesn't want to blame Wike publicly in other not to disgrace him and at same time, want to let the military know, they are not happy with what Wike did.

I pity all of you surporting Wike, because it shows the level of your intelligence. Bye

buygala:
Some questions that I ponder on in view of this military/civilian conflict are:

1.........Did anyone compel these soldiers to join the military?...Why the excessive anger and disgust towards civilians?

2......Are they working for free so that Nigerians owe them so much?...They get paid while their bosses have almost equal access as top politicians to the Nation's treasury ....So what exactly is the reason for the sense of entitlement and feeling that they are above the law of the land?

3.......If they demand these extreme respect because they die defending the country, what then should accrue to the thousands who have died due to the failure of the country's security architecture?....We should worship those ones as gods and prophets then?...Isn't everyone at risk of dying in this country as it is presently anyway?...

4....While these soldiers have security in numbers and availability of ammunition to fight insurgents, ordinary Nigerians have mostly only their guts and instincts to protect them from the same criminals ....in fact some people in remote areas, long distance drivers and travellers are at risk of facing these criminals without any armed colleagues or ammo to back them up...Are these people also to demand exception from the laws of the land because they are brave enough to face criminals even unarmed?

Lastly, this "a General is always a General" talk, what law backs it up?...If it is true, what law is a retired General subject to then?...Civil law or martial law?...if he is subject to martial law, how then can be labelled "Retired" and not sent to war like his mates?....If he is subject to only civil law after retirement, how then is he still a General?...and if he is retired and still a General, what and which soldiers is he commanding, and to where exactly is he doing so?

What exactly is going on in this Country ?

Have you asked yourself any of these questions?

If anybody asked Wike to join POLITICS?

Is Wike Nigeria laws that everyone must obey?

Are political holders now gods over the masses?

Are they not being paid with Nigeria's Money?

If Wike can read between the line from words of minister of defence, which I biliv Tinubu told him to convey, in other to douse the tensions.


He should be tread with caution going forward

Either online banking or wife.

mascot87:
Don't mind those clowns supporting nonsense because they hate Wike. So if a senior ranking officer gives an order to kpai there agalu fraud tomorrow and the order was well executed, hope they will support the executioner as only following orders.

If you know what you are doing, you would know Wike acted outside his power, like out to update yourself on how governance works,....pls go and watch similar scenario..SANWO OLU vs SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE

jubrilELsudan:
THIS STUPID DEFENCE MINISTER JUST SIGNED HIS RETIREMENT LETTER

WIKE IS REPRESENTING TINUBU SO SIDING AGAINST WIKE IS SIDING AGAINST TINUBU

TINUBU JUST SURVIVED AN ATTEMTED COUP SO HE IS VERY SENSITIVE RIGHT NOW WITH THE MILITARY SO ANYBODY TAKING THE SIDE OF THE NAVAL OFFICER HE WILL SEE AS HIS ENEMY AND HE WILL SURELY REMOVE THEM ALL FROM THE MILITARY

A RETIRED VICE-ADMIRAL GAVE THIS BOY YERIMA AN ORDER....WIKE CALLED THE CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF A 4 STAR GENERAL WHO IS CURRENTLY THE HIGHEST RANKING OFFICER IN ACTIVE SERVICE ALIVE TODAY AND GAVE THE PHONE TO THIS STUPID BOY TO TALK TO HIM YET THIS STUPID BOY DISREGARDED THE ORDER OF THE CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF TO STAND DOWN BUT CHOOSE TO STILL STAND ON THE ORDER OF A RETIRED VICE ADMIRAL.

THIS BOY YERIMA IS A GONER

TINUBU WILL MAKE SURE HE RETIRES ALL OF THEM INCLUDING THIS STUPID DEFENCE MINISTER

IT'S VERY OBVIOUS NOW THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PLANNING THE COUP

You think Tinubu would be happy with what Wike did yesterday?
You think Tinubu not already tired of Wike untamed garrulous behaviour?

Let wait and see after election if Wike will make Tinubu cabinet.


If not for dirty job Wike doing for Tinubu in PDP, he would have been relieved for long.

The reply Badiru gave, might even been response of Tinubu, indirectly, going against Wike

MarkNsukkaBread:
A sensible officer knows there are some orders you don't follow

And sensible minister didn't know he shouldn't be like tout in public glare?

Laple0541:
In as much I think Mr Wike ought to had managed the situation more maturely, I think the impunity of Nigerian military personnels need to be addressed again and again. They always think they are demigods when dealing with civilians. Why should a retired general think he can retain a piece of land even when such land is not procured in a right way?

Meanwhile, the civilian authority should be behaving like demigod Abi?

Wen it's not procure in right way, does Wike has right to forceful takes over, what happens to court of law.

Dreal1247:
This may just be a glimpse of greater humiliation awaiting Wike in no distant future if he is not careful. Look at the young officer that is younger than his children schooling a Nigerian legal luminary like Wike,
L

I'm very sure Tinubu has tired of his excesses but for 2027 election, he will allow him to finish his madness, before disposing him, in second term.
