Focus on the topic. This is not about bandit.

As much as people may not like Wike, it is very irresponsible to be talking to a minister like that. Hw can a ministry or an agency of govt be on enforcement and then u say u follow orders.. however, where wike is to be blamed is his slowness to call d CNS Or CDS to order his boys out. Altogether. It is an embarrassment to the country that a security agency would prevent the work of a representative of govt. This is not much about wike but the chaos of the system. Indeed the c-in-c should actually issue a query to the CNS(since the officer was actually following orders) for allowing his institution to be involved in such lawlessness

but how many times will dey tell you guys that if he disobey his boss order, they can turn it to mutiny? Soldiers only obey Mr president and their top ranking officers. Even ordinary police man disobeyed a whole lagos state governor, not to talk of ordinary minister that was chosen by Mr president by opportunity

a junior officer? But he his obeying an order, a minister can not give a military authority contrary instruction,, wike should thanks his luck.

omoredia:
A soldier can also be dismissed anytime. There grouse with wike is because he is not aboki

Now I am certain there's something on the training of the military in Nigeria that undermines login and discipline.

Firstly , Wike is the minister of of FCT and all ministers are an extension of the president of Nigeria.

Secondly, Wike is carrying out his constitutional mandate while the military was impeding his work.

3 Military cannot resort to self help, yes not even the chief of army staff can build his property without following laid down procedure as laid down by government

4. The laziest and most undisciplined army of thrvetod has too much ego and no respect for civilian authority.

5 the military should apologise to Wike immediately. And go back to their barracks.

But tomorrow when he is going to Rivers state by what authority does he have to commandeer a platoon of soldiers as his personal protection detail.

The problem is that we are often quick to clutch at straws. The last incident is the only one we remember. We ignore the other failings that have contributed to it.

Where are the laws, where are the boundaries, what are the red lines. It is the failure of organization in government. It is the adhoc way, the lawlessness in society to which they ALL subscribe that turns around to bite them.

In any other society there will be no conflict between security men working for the same government. See what Trump is facing while attempting to put troops on ground in major US cities against crime and illegal immigration. All the conflicting IS ABOUT THE LAW. What he can do and what he cannot do.

There you don't see standoffs or shootouts between security or military at any level despite the fact that they have hundreds of different law enforcement agencies.

Structure, structure, structure, law,.law, law.

I'm not surprised by the soldier’s behavior. Nigerian soldiers are notorious for being disrespectful and intimidating. They’re often used by civilians to settle personal or civil disputes. I actually admire that Wike stood his ground against him. You’d never see an American soldier act like that, never. Everyone has their own role: Wike was doing his, while the soldier overstepped and did someone else’s. He should be on the battlefield tackling insecurity, not confronting a minister on orders from a retired officer. Is he a lawyer?

Jagabanfromcali:
This bura na full , a jnr officer undermining the minister of the republic is serious offense against the government and shud be decommissioned right away

brotherly,the constitution of nigeria does not make provision for what wike was trying to do.

I will rather be at the right hand of the Devil than to be in his path….

That solider boy still has to learn

sweerychick:
Hmm Wike really messed up. His utterances was uncalled for, he just disgraced himself, instead of engaging higher military hierarchy to address the issue diplomatically he felt like a demigod until he met his match.

But again, as much as Wike is an arrogant silly egoistic chump, why is Burutai quick to release a statement? Why hasn't he made a statement against bandits and insecurity in the country then he is quick to release about this incident

I fail to see the correlation between Wike using army as security when traveling and an army personnel taking laws into his own hands and obstructing a legitimate government work.

You're sounding political. This is just common sense a d the army is undisciplined and unruly.
