In a sane country even the vice admiral should be in jail by now. It's only in Nigeria that soldiers will be doing

doublechief96:
I was thinking he would slap the soldier

SmartyPants:
Do you understand that the FCT minister is the administrative authority in charge of land in the FCT? Therefore for a soldier not on official duty (the person who sent them there is even retired), to restrict his access to that land when on his own official duty is against the law that creates and empowers Wike's office? Of course you know all this. Keep asking funny questions.

D00msDay:
Official duty or not, LT Yerima can not be blamed for carrying out an order given to him by his superior. Military personnel are trained to carry out any order given to them by superior officers. Disobeying his superior is seen as mutiny.
Wat are my driving at? The Admiral should be held accountable and not the innocent LT who was only carrying out an order as stated in the military.

When wahala burst between Wike and Tinubu I swear Rivers state people will be so happy



See for non Rivers people always know that wike loyalty doesn’t last



Even Tinubu knows wike is a time bomb that can blow at any moment



The Bromance between wike and Tinubu won’t last you can bookmark this chat



Wike is a serial betrayer and time will tell so make una relax

The question is was wike carrying out his lawful and constitutional duty...?



Nigerians if they don't like you eh....


If he was then I don't see the reason why people are praising the military officers. Especially considering that this is not a military regime.

Oh...What a country!!!

All shades of everything wrong in full display!!!

A country fighting internal insecurities and terrorism, is having a commissioned Officer and his troops, guiding a parcel of land within a community in a democracy

A minister of the FCT, ranked as a Governor and under the direct instruction of a President, C-in-C of the Armed Forces, cannot apply decorum and understand a soldier under direct order will not disobey his superior under any guise, by obeying a civilian What happened to put a call through to the NSA, CDS...if dem no fit resolve am...then go back to the President the soldiers have to obey na..

Everything wrong with this country about power play was just displayed in full glare.

Nonsense!

TallNigerian:
If I were Tinubu, that Vice Admiral is losing the land IMMEDIATELY. I will order the FCT minister to revoke the title with immediate effect. Nonsense!

Imagine the clowns that cannot face Boko Haram wants to be pushing the Minister around in a democratic dispensation.

I don't like Wike at all but a Captain should never speak to a Director in FCTA, let alone a Minister that way. Rubbish country.

Was it ever on record that the so-called ex CNS recorded any success against Boko Haram during his time in office?

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.

222Martins:
Let me tell you how this is going to end up. The Chief of Defense Staff will meet with Wike alongside the former CNS and try to resolve the issue and possibly pacify Wike. For Wike to go to that site himself, that land has neither papers nor appproval.

If Wike refuses to be pacified, then that land is gone. In a democratic government, politicians are more powerful than the military. If the current CDS or CNS refuses to do the right thing by removing those soldier from that land, all Wike has to do is pull a few strings with the MOD, NSA or SGF or Chief of Staff; and the military chiefs will lose their seat.

Given the recent coup scare, all the service chiefs would not want negative media on the military at this time.

When will the stranglehold of Fulanis on the security service architecture in Nigeria be removed? A retired personnel? This is crazy.

jubrilELsudan:
THAT SOLDIER WAS GALANT BUT THIS IS THE REALITY.....IF THAT ADMIRAL THAT ORDERED THEM THERE IS NOT IN THESAME CAMP AS TINUBU'S CABAL AND FRIENDS WITH TINUBU......THE ADMIRAL AND ALL THESE SOLDIERS IN THIS VIDEO WILL ALL BE PLACED ON COMPULSORY RETIREMENT BEFORE THE END OF NEXT WEEK

NOETHNICITY:
In sane climes it is the illegality of the duty that would be the point of conversation. It is an illegal order to use a naval officer to guard an undeveloped land. What manner of wastefulness is that particularly as the nation is battling a plethora of insecurities everywhere. Is guarding an empty land the mandate of a naval officer?

brain54:
So why were they there...?


Soldiers being confrontational with a serving minister on his constitutional duty is impunity and should not be encouraged.


Nigeria is not a jungle where might is right... at least it shouldn't be!

TallNigerian:
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".

A minister appointed by the chief commander, in a democracy system of Govt, a solider is challenging him, and you all feel this will go well, with him and the person issuing the orders.

Let’s watch how this end, he’s disrespectful, challenging the 3rd most powerful person in Nigeria. Let’s see how this end.
