He has the power bestowed on him by the President so disrespecting him is disrespecting the President. That Ex CNS is in trouble
This is where a lot of people are missing the point. Wike is serving at the pleasure of the president. If you stop him from doing his job you are basically disobeying the president.
All the soldiers involved in this illegal security work should be dismissed immediately.

That soldier will not be dismissed,he will even be promoted.
Why was wike insisting that he must disobey a standing order?
Do you know the implications of disobeying an order?
Abeg make una calm down oh.

Do you know that the Armed forces are not even treated as civil servants??

We play too much in this country ooo, people wey no even dey under the jurisdiction of a Governor, na Minister go come order them around

The Minister knew the proper channel he could take but felt he's lord over everyone

Glad he was put in his place
Wike was right
That is not Military establishment
It is under Wikes Ministry
The Navy will still apologise to Wike

Remove uniform? Like the naval uniform?

Wonders shall never end. I keep saying that those who drum 🥁 for war and violence have never fought before.

Derobe an officer because of an egomaniac? You lots play too much.
They know nothing.
A president can sack his minister with immediate effect but a president dare not anger even the smallest ranked officer.

Wike is a political appointee. Perm sec in his ministry has more honour than him.

We really do not know anything. A political appointee is a political appointee with limited power because he can be sacked in seconds.

The job is a non career job. It can be given to anybody.

Wike just wanted to show some sport.
He had spoken to the CDS, and the man said he will go through channels and get back to him, yet, he is doing something else. Watch how he will twist it to Northerners V Southerners, this is his MO.

Ask him what the late Lagbaja told him, when he wanted to take the Army land? He immediately went to report to the President, oga ignored him!
The guy looked like a very sick man.
Na so his voice be?

The Senior Special Assistant on Gutter Affairs to the Lagos state governor has spoken. I request to enlighten you, Sir Mr Igbokwe, but a soldier only answers to his superiors in the military and the Commander-in-Chief. Wike is a bloody civilian.
They know nothing, absolutely nothing about the military.

Tinubu can afford to sack wike but dare not anger the military. Who even told them military men retires?


Just like professors. After being out of service, most of them become professor emeritus. In fact, that is the dream of every professor in any developed country. A retired professor is always a professor. So also the military men.

It is even an impunity for a retired CNS to be ordering a serving military personnel on his personal business.

Where did the retired CNS derives his power after retirement
This is not obi versus tinubu.
Maybe you have no military background.
There is nothing like retired military personnel.
A military personnel remai s one till death.

In case of emergency, they will be called to work immediately and they start from where they stopped.
Ask war torn countries.

You guys should stop making things hard for tinubu. Chose your fight very careful.
The military reads. Tinubu can not afford to be on their black book. You know it. No president, even the almighty America joke with their military whether retired or not. Sit this out. It is not obi and atiku or adc. Some of your people are not commenting with their main moniker and you should ask why.

The Service Chiefs will be on call now with AVM Gambo laughing at Wike. When the FCT man said former Vice Admiral, he was corrected immediately, a Vice Admiral is a Vice Admiral, nothing like former grin

Nigeria is not a straight line.

The respect and discipline in the military is top-notch. Gambo is 36RC and the present CDS is 39 or 40, you know how many times he must have saluted Gambo?

If the CDS wanted to budge, when Wike called him, he could have ordered those boys to leave but he didn't, there is a reason why. As it stands today, only Tinubu as GCFR can order those soldiers to stand down and he won't.

There is already a failed coup, once it gets to the Barracks, that a Wike pre-empted an entry on the property of a former CNS, the discontent won't be funny, it will be double the trouble he presently has. So, the Tinubu I know will look away.

If Wike likes, he can visit there a million times, if Tinubu, through the CDS doesn't order those boys to stand down, they will remain there. The reason why the young officer told him straight up, they are under orders.
Wike is expected to know better. He has been in the corridors of power for long.

He effd up big time.

And most of those land are gifts from the past presidents.

Quote Nigeria law that state there is no retired military personnel . I don't know why we are so much used to abnormality in this country.

We in democracy and not military regime.

It doesn't matter. He held his own down. His dad won't hold or cock a rifle for him.

Give the Lt. his flowers 🌺🌹 He merited it.

Joe Igbokwe is irresponsible for saying that. He wants the young officer to disobey the order of a three star general and get punished. Wike displayed dishonorable character as always. He should have called the General who sent the guy or the COAS and get the issue resolved rather going to fight.

If a military officer disrespect Alex Otti or Peter Obi, I hope you won't be calling Nigeria a zoo.

Obidients only complain about illegality when it affects a politician they don't like, but when it affects Obi or the LP, you guys will start crying to the US, UK, EU, AU, ICC etc

Well, I know the table will soon turn and I will remind una of this una support for this illegality when the time come
but when ordinary police officer disobey a whole state governor, what did u do to it. A whole lagos state governor for that matter.

How can we see evil and call it a good deed

Wike is wrong that is all

You have engage the officer and he has said he is working on orders why calling him a fool

Let do the right thing

The military officer is so ignorant, did you see the way he was talking to a police officer sef? When I was in Israel, policemen are more powerful than military men on the street, if a military personnel mess up, he will be arrested by a police officer, no matter the military officer rank.

In the USA, military personnel can't arrest a civilian for any offence committed outside a US military base, even if you commit an offence close to thier base, they will call the police to com and arrest the person.

Military rule don really mess up Nigeria
police wey dey arrest military men in uniform if they commit small offense like overspeeding in US. Don’t mind the werey naval officer. Nigeria military is having conflict of duty, they don’t know it is civilian rule.

Yes
Wike is the Minister and Constituted Authority Of the FCT


Didn’t you already know ?
Look,, my friend, get sense. That so-called small boy represented the strength of the nation. Other countries fear your country because of the strength of your military. When as a minister you derogate and rubbish the uniform that gives honour to your nation, then you should be ashamed of yourself. Politicians seem to think they are gods. And for some of you who blame the young military officer, let me tell you, when it comes to the military, ORDER is ORDER even unto death. Stop showing your superb ignorance everywhere. The officer did the right thing. Wike is everywhere disturbing the peace of the country. Is he the only cabinet minister? In fact, he should take his time because the young generation of Gen Zs don't have that kind of patience. I can bet that with this Wike's nuisance everyday, BAT is begining to feel unconfortable with him already and might kick him out soon.

Re: Joe Igbokwe On Wike Vs Lt. Yerima: The Young Officer Has No Respect by Chucks13: 9:31am On Nov 12, 2025
Igbokwe can you pls keep quiet for now. Go and remote the uniform na if you have the power.

Let me burst your bubble Mr igbokwe blabla that young officer papa na Brig. General so get that to your brain unless you want millitary to kill Wike so better rest and let this matter rest.

Wike disrespect himself as a Minister roaming the street looking for property to grab and openly behaved like a nuisance like that, Wike must even apologize to that officer.

I have always supported Wike and still supporting him but that does not mean when he goes too far I shouldn't say the truth. He went too far that yesterday and belittle himself.

Forget that thing oh. They still retain their title and have soldiers attached to them for security. A general like Obj, Buhari still command their juniors and the respect still dey kampe! So they are not treated like he's retired, he can't issue commands. Retired or not, they still exercise authority... Shikena
