This has nothing to do with age but everything to do with obeying authority. The soldier should have respectfully told Wike to consult his boss who gave him the order.

Typically, a sane officer will say "Sir or Honorable Minister, please may I suggest that you resolve this with my boss? I am just an officer acting on orders. I have to protect my job Sir. I am not trying to undermine you Sir but I am acting on orders Sir. Failure of which I will be sanctioned. Try to understand Sir".

Instead, he was foolishly saying "the papers are complete and valid. I cannot allow you to access the land".

Haba, you are telling. Minister of FCT that the papers are valid. Was the officer there when the land was purchased? He didn't even have a photocopy of the title with him for clarification.

That was very silly. You dey argue with person wey fit revoke your boss land title documents. In Yoruba, they say "if they send you message as a slave, you ought to deliver it as a freeborn".

That’s why military logic is different from civilian logic. You don’t negotiate your orders. Reasoning with him is already showing weakness. Military style is direct. No ambiguity. Na you dey interprete am as disrespect. Armed forces is not a government agency oh. They are not subject to civil service parastatals.

A soldier can even detain a superior outside his chain of command that tries to disobey him while he’s acting on orders. Eh come be Wike wey no dey the system at all.

arm force are not above the law

Does your Wike follow the law when he started grabbing people properties in Abuja

This man is too power drunk, an intelligent man would have called the officer aside and ask for his superior number and speak to him, instead of this disgrace he got and exposed himself too publicly..

He thinks say nah police, wey dey always fold..

That soldier should be given award and another rank immediately...

Soldier nah go dem dey hear, dem no dey hear come😆 🤣 😂 e sweet my belle e think say nah lere wey him and him pikin dey talk to anyhow

A thoroughly breed officer,

Humn! This is to tell Nyesom Wike that his excesses is being watched

Being a former Chief of Naval Staff doesn't give anyone the authority to flout the laws of the land.

Sending military men to obstruct the Honourable Minister of the FCT from carrying out his lawful duties is both an affront and an offense in itself.

No one can just begin to go about developing a plot(s) of land without valid documents/documentation.

However, the Honourable Minister shouldn't have engaged the officers in verbal confrontation as they claimed to be working under strict instructions of their Oga at the top, even though retired.

All he needed to have done was to contact their said boss to confirm the effrontery.

If not satisfied, he could go further by reporting the erring boss to the C-in-C himself to call him to order for necessary sanctions.

Wike is merely working as a member of the Executive and cannot therefore be belittled by anyone.

Nobody can be bigger, higher or greater than the FGN.

does tinubu himself follow the law when he suspended an elected governor in River state? How much are they paying you for this your defending like MAGUIRE

Man pass man! Power pass power! Cohesion pass coercion! Cooperation pass corporation!

doublechief96:
I was thinking he would slap the soldier

Dem no born am well, nah lere e fit tear slap, no be that soldier 😆 😂 🤣

Both of them are under the executive arm of the disgraceful Nigerian government.

They are both meant to execute the law.

Where there’s a conflict between associates of the same arm, is it professional for them to resort to physical assault rather than adopt the appropriate dispute resolution mechanism for the situation?

Did Wike demonstrate any trace of leadership from what you all watched in that video?

It only further confirms that those at the helm of affairs in this country are mediocres who should never have been anywhere near those positions in the first place.

The upside-down state of the country today is nothing but a true reflection of the backwardness and foolishness of the politicians leading it.

doublechief96:
Wike couldn't believe his eyes today even as an acclaimed Abuja land lord the soldiers didn't accord him that respect. That officer need instant promotion.

He deserves a double promotion for breaking the law? Good one.

onatisi:
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 ?

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!

Hmmm.
Do you think Wike will allow them to develop that land? Diplomacy is important in military-civilian interaction especially when you are dealing with high ranked public servants.

All of them leave their primary function dey grab land which suppose belong to you and me . Na greed not Boko Haram go finish this country one day

Just look at them,shameless bunch ..
See how he resorted to insults!

Make Una continue to look for army trouble.....

changing the goal post as usual

The civilized world practices the rule of LAW but in black under civilized Africa, we take pride in the rule of FORCE...

I strongly advise the civilized world to seal their entry gates against past, present and future holders of public and political offices in Africa until such a time when they are seen to be worthy to enter any part of the civilized world.

TallNigerian:
You are smart and unbiased. The officer wasn't smart at all. At a time when a failed coup just happened, a Captain is talking down on the Minister? A Minister that has the powers to revoke the land even if it is genuine?

At some point, I expected the officer to provide a photocopy of the land documents instead of shouting the land is genuine as though he was there when the ex CNS purchased it.

Wike that I know will not be pacified after such public humiliation. That land is gone. Wike will rather prefer to allocate another land to the ex CNS just to prove a point.

Even the current CNS dare not try this. All Wike has to do is approach NSA and PBAT himself that the military are undermining his government.

Most Nigerians just don't understand. Wike as FCT Minister is on the same level with the Minister of Defence. Even the CDS, CNS, CAS and COAS cannot talk when the Minister of Defence is talking. I recall a leaked audio tape during a past elction in Ekiti, where the then Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro was ordering a Brigadier General to either play ball or he will sit on his promotion, and the General was just stammering Yes Sir! Yes Sir!!

I don't even know I was replying a kid in different thread oo chaii

Trymeee:
Would I have expected better from you? NO


A so-called minister was using derogatory words on a uniformed man. A soldier is an embodiment of the nation etc..... calling a man I'm uniform a fool thereby disrespecting the country as a whole. Yet, you see nothing wrong in it. Sometimes I wonder how y'all think and if politics have such power to affect ones reasoning.

Wike has always been a gutter man no decorum or good manners.

This is very unfortunate from the arm force, they are not above the law.

This is not motor park discussion

You are right.

But from the Officers tone, you can tell that he detest sleazy politicians.

There is rumor that the minister is allegedly grabbing land for himself and his cronies. These officers are perhaps privy to that information that's why they're acting in this manner.

JohnBullMySon:
Every military land is a base Oga

That CO should have even called military police to detain all of you for trespassing.

its not a military land though, its a private property owned by former Chief of Naval staff under Buhari.

yarimo:

you deserve more than that because you always support bad leaders and corrupt leaders

This one sweet me for body well well.

Wike 0-1 Army

We lov to shout Nigeria is a democracy but support the military involvement in civilian affairs. Trump had a he same mentality until he was stopped dead in his tracks. Soldiers should have nothing to do with civilians. If the soldiers said they were following instructions then it was for Wike to find out who gave the instructions and have them disciplined by the Commander in Chief.

You think everyone is a coward.
That officer was acting under instructions from a superior.
Wike should have asked for the phone number of the superior officer.

Chai... this one painnnn me...
Why wike no land that soldier slap make i check something

The right thing to do is to report to Defence headquarters or FCTA can take it to court. If they win in court. Court will direct the president to remove the land from the military. Shikena.
