Wike is a complete drunk idiot . So when they gave him that report in the office and told him that soldiers were the ones chasing his workers away , his brains didn't tell him that the first thing to do is to investigate who the officer is and to inform the military authorities instead what his drunk brains told him to do was to carry cameras and Pressman in his convoy to go to the site and do things they could have done in the office without any controversy

maasoap:
Yes, they resisted and he shouted. You have problem with that or what exactly is your message here? If they're doing it the right way, the way it is supposed to be done, why would they be stationing officers there to intimidate people?

It is very funny the way and manner many of you just believe whatever wike says without finding out whether even wike himself is lying

You dey mind the guy. No mind am. Wike that didn't see the officer as too low for him to argue with yet you want the officer to see wike as a old man to respect. Baba you see how nigerians view issues ?

SisterAnn:
Wike didn't go there with guns?

So you didn't see his battle ready mopols?

See, make we just thank God that things never got out of hand.

If you own a business and in the habit of publicly humiliating your staff over wrongdoing, one day , it may be your last.

dollytino4real:
No body is talking about the disrespect the guy gave Wike, everyone is supporting the confrontation aspect of the matter. Wike was not there with weapons or he went to fight, Wike is older than him, he was not going to remain there 4ever, I heard the guy saying am a military man so because of the uniform no body can talk or do anything around his jurisdiction, just my opinion

so because wike s old ,he has the license to behave foolishly and stupidly . Ok ooo weldone kwantinu

Cmanforall:
Ideally, he doesn’t also have control over NPF and Civil Defence

he doesn't ,but because Nigeria sees lawlessness as normal that is why many believe a political office holder is above every other person in the society . The federal capital territory security services and apparatus is under the president

Borrowing to siphon half of the funds?
When the government is done with us, Venezuela might be like a child's play when compared to whatever is left of our economy.

Infact. I have given up on Nigeria . I thought Buhari was the one who would sell Nigeria on eBay and Amazon but I was wrong, the way this Tinubu dey borrow , Nigeria maybe sold on temu

By the time Tinubu completes 8 years , Nigeria debt profile would have risen to 9000trillion naira

You should first ask about the facts of the case before judging or taking sides. Did Wike follow lid down procedures ? Has the ministry invited the Admiral to provide the documents ? Did the Admiral provide the documents or not ? It seems most of you supporting Wike didn't even watch the video at all or listed to the officer arguments . Even if the officer was wrong. Is it not disrespectful to the office of the minister to stand intension and be arguing with a very junior officer #+when he could easily have picked up his phone and made a direct call to the current chief of naval staff or defence headquarters ? Wouldn't that have gives Wike more respect than arguing with a junior officer in the sun?

newnigerdelta1:
Tell them

Majority of people supporting Wike are mostly genzs, and they don't know anything about military heriachy and the only engagement most of them have had with the military is probably through nysc.
Wike was very very very very lucky yesterday that the officer he confronted was a cool headed young officer and also a very disciplined one who didnt lose his composure ,if it wasnt so ,trust me we would have been talking about some national tragedy this morning . It seems the Admiral knew the officer cool headedness,reason why he posted him to confront Wike .
If Na airforce guys ,trouble would have happened yesterday

AMINDA:
Today was Wike's lucky day. We could have had the story of an unknown soldier if things had escalated further. A soldier has no address.

press9jatv:
The former naval chief will win the battle in the court of justice. Wike goof here

terribly did and I don't know why many nigerians can't see it . I must say that he even disrespected the office that he occupied .he behaved like a low level political thug or tout. Now trust me the military guys have marked him down . The president and the top military heirachy have to do something to douse the tension among their boys

Wike did not respect himself
Wike did not respect the president
Wike did not respect the military
The man wike doesn't know anything about respect .and definitely as from now on the military guys will have their eyes on wike .
I don't blame wike though he is used to talking to seyi makinde , fayose and ortom like that and they dare not reply him back

This is what I have been trying to tell nigerians since that wike was wrong ,he didn't follow due process . He must have thought everyone in Nigeria are dumb like pdp members . When he got to the site and met a military officer ,he should have contacted higher military authorities to prevail on the officer

What Wike should have done there is to contact the military top brass. Why don't you ask yourself one question . Wike has a minister has all the contacts of military top hierarchy,if Wike knew he has a case ,why didn't he put a call through to the chief of defence staff or chief of army staff and report the matter to him there ?

NOETHNICITY:
What is there to protect in an undeveloped land? Someone wants to steal the land away and take it Zamfara or what?
Wike is the minister of the FCT and everything (which includes landed properties) is under the control of the minister.

Truly Nigeria is not a sane country. A country where soldiers are guarding an empty land. Is that within the mandate of the military?

Image123:
Murifa, don't cry when the slow wheels of the law takes its course on the officer. His boss will likely deny him.

Lailai, you are saying this becus you don't know what military codes are . The military will never deny their own . Check out the case of soldiers against mko abiloa then and you will understand . Tell me one case where a military officers was punished for orders given by his superiors . Just one instance

Please baba, enlighten them ooo. I don't try to educate them I don't tire

bdon123:
Imternet warriors do not understand that once order is given u are covered by military laws

nairalanda1:
What the soldier did was wrong.

I know, so I will say this...I am not a tinubu supporter and wike is a awful minister of the fct with corruption all over him

But he is the minister of the fct. And if a soldier is disobeying a minister of the republic, and people are hailing him because tinubu, it shows that people who are in opposition are just as lawless as those in government.

Obey constituted authority

But then again we have a habit in this country of not following the rules and authority. Whether we support tinubu or not. See MC olumo

But the fact that we have a government of essentially bad people does not make yerima action worse

Would those praising the lieutenant be doing so if it was an Obi appointee as fct minister? And would those critical of the lieutenant be praising him if obi was president?

We are so blinded by politics that we don't want to do the right thing.

Like I said, if you read this and think I support tinubu, think again. I would say this if it was obi as president or anyone else . If you like , support the lieutenant. Don't complain when you see a bad situation worse.

Before you condem someone actions why don't you fist ask what wike did to be on the law side. Because he is a minister does not give him the right to barge into anyone property. Did wike respect himself ?NO
IF he did the normal thing is to invite the admiral that owns the property,if the man refuses to come then he can report the man to his military authorities and even more to the commander in chief ,you don't just barge into someone property and start constituting a nuisance.
The point is wike is used to dealing with politicians and civilians this way and maybe he thought he could talk to the young officer the same way he usually lambast dino,atiku and other pdp members

helinues:
It was illegal as long as his boss action is

He was professional though

Boss as any military officer they will tell you . As long as you are following your superiors orders ,nothing you do is illegal even if your boss actions are illegal. It is your boss that will carry the full responsibility of his orders ,that is why junior officers when they carry out actions based on orders from their superior,they are usually shielded from prosecutions .as long as they were under orders . No military court will punish this officer for acting under orders but if this officers ordered his boys to fire ,he will be held responsible and not the soldiers that carries out his instructions

The only reason why wike is shouting is because the military are the only ones he has no control over .

helinues:
Una wan land the junior officer into trouble for doing illegal work. Make una let the matter rest. All the parties involved didn't try

as far as he was under orders from his bosses ,he isn't doing illegal work. He didn't go there on his own ,he was sent by his boss

This guy deserves an award . He is a future leader . Kudos to his bosses,he showed great discipline,control and composure

We have wike court of law oo. He hardly loses any court case ,he will even tell you to go to court, he has all the judges and justiceses under his armpit

brain54:
Do we have court of laws in this country...?

Kreesxxx:
Do you think the mam hasn't been invited? For the minister to come himself means that he had defied all possible means of cooperation. For that number of the soldiers to be there means they aren't doing the right thing.

I don't think you watched the video carefully and listened to their conversation and arguments,if you do you won't be asking . They just barged in the site ,if wike had invited ,he would have said so ,even if they invited the man and he didn't oblige,and there was cameras all over they should have said so. That is what any normal public officer will do. Listen to the argument of the military officer in the video and you will understand what happened

NOETHNICITY:
So the soldier has become an omonile who or works at the ministry of lands to determine whether or not the land was bought legally.

The military man was under orders from his boss and he is protecting the property of his boss ,I don't know why we are not seeing the mistake in what wike has done ,THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF NIGERIA THAT A MINISTER WILL GO TO AN UNDEVELOPED Site OR LAND AND BE DEMANDING FOR PAPERS ,IS THAT THE RIGHT PROCEDURE,DONT THE MINISTRY HAVE AN OFFICE ?

brain54:
If the land was bought legally...

And he has his documents then they are procedures to follow and one of that procedure is not use of military personnel to use force.


That's abuse of power. Obviously the soldiers were sent by an influential person.

Don't praise this case of abuse of power today...then cry foul tomorrow when the same system or situation is used against you tomorrow. Like I said justice isn't selective and shouldn't turn a blind eye when a situation favors you.


Just imagine if this can be done to a serving minister what would happen to a common "peasant" like you and I.

The people supposed to be against this and condemning these actions are those making the loudest cheers and clapping!

You are wrong ,it is wike and the kinisgry that is wrong they are the ones who didn't follow due procedures. If you watched the clip you will hear the officer telling wike that they have forwarded al papers to the ministry and he posted to a man as the recipient of the documents ,the man he pointed to didn't deny accepting the documents .

Kreesxxx:
Was the man there when the land was purchased? Can you see your biased reasoning because it is a Wike?
If the land was purchased legally what stopped him from showing papers to it?

what wike is doing is wrong ,the normal procedure is for the mm I no story to invite the land owner to their office and ask him or her to present papers . You don't just barge on people land unannounced and start asking them to present papers on the spot .

8starmember:
Wike never imagined a day like this

Man of the year award goes to that gallant military officer...intimation is much...kudo young officer

I swear , he was very professional , stood his ground and made sure his points were made clear . His bosses will be very proud of him , you can see that he is very educated

Finally we have someone who can stand up to the power drunk Wike . Sebi Wike always tell people to go to court? Now Wike too should take the army officer to court

brain54:
So because the man served Nigeria his entire life...


He has right to grab and build on any land of his choosing and choice?

Just say you don't like wike I will understand!

How are you sure Wike is right ? Did you watch the video where the man said the land was purchased legally and that they have sent all documents to Wike office ?

You are a bad man lolz

Clemss88:
Wike for slap that officer so we can see what will happen

Lolz , Wike don jam people wey big pass am .

Chioma Grace Ifemeludike

The AAC Governorship Candidate in the 2025 Election garnered 292 votes, losing to incumbent Chukwuma Soludo.

yes she is a winner , at last she was able to convince some people to vote for and people did despite knowing that she wont win . that speaks volumes and i hope sh go on doing more exploits politically

Whether Ned told her to take drugs or not doesn't matter , the major point is that she is now a drug addict and she is on drugs
