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 civiilian.

He lacks experience and and wisdom. He will learn the hard way. Was he even supposed to be there? Was he there on legit duty? A serving minister is more than bloody civilian.

Christistruth00:
Yes
Wike is the Minister and Constituted Authority Of the FCT


Didn’t you already know ?

Wike has no right nor power to give an order to even the lowest rank in the military. Let alone a commissioned officer. Go and know your laws. Didn't you see where wike called the CDS and the officer spoke with him on the phone? The CDS knows the officer is following an order. He can't just break chain of order. Do you even know what that means ?

Ttalk:
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

General in the Army don't retire, they only leave active service and that's why they are entitled to receives their full entitlement from the govt every four years just like ex-presidents.
Wike is ignorant of the law, the young boy even corrected him that there is no such thing as retired Admiral, Admiral is Admiral.

Una sha the lie o, wetin I love about military is order is order, you can't go against it, abi u want make them dishonorably discharge u?

Go and remove it na

press9jatv:
Omo so Wike is constituted authority? 🙄🙄🙄

Yes he is.


You don chop today kwa?

Wike should be sacked for behaving like a toute and drunkard in public.

THUNDER4real:
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.

this kind of una own police wei de collect N20 for road? Let's start from there

HgAkpobomeEr:
The soldier should have been more civil in his approach.

How was he uncivil Thats the most civil behavior have seen ever in Nigeria especially from the Navy cos those guys no get joy at all.

Wike was the provocative one. He should go and sit down with his boss rather than flexing muscle with the guy.

I don't understand Nigerians at all. Always supporting the wrong side, especially on this nairaland


When Police did the same to Sanwo Olu that year, again, Nigerians rallied behind Police, not that Sanwo or his party are better off but in that case and scenario, Police was wrong but as usual, abnormal is normal.

You should have done your research before coming online to type this. The only person that officer answers to is his superior and a direct order from the president (GCFR)


Wike is a nobody in this aspect

tnerro1:
If I was a uniformed officer posted to that place on the orders of my superiors,I would have done the same thing

me wey my blood dey hot, I for carry wike wipe for ground.

Did the guy insult or assault Wike?
The boy only showed him the meaning of integrity and maturity

press9jatv:
he's a Nigeria minister and not elected man. Let's differentiate it

Whatever he does, he reports to the president, his boss. What he's doing is what they called delegated authority which comes from the president. The young boy was clearly over his head, he didn't know the gravity of what he did

Ikaeniyan0:
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

Are u in USA or Isreal?

More so, make sure you update yourself for you not to embarrass yourself the way your idol got degraded yesterday.

Trump still sent military to arrest civilians last month.

Wike trying to use political power over militant

HgAkpobomeEr:
The soldier should have been more civil in his approach.

How more?
Did the minister behave in a manner fitting of his position? Why is he even the one going out to enforce an order? He has departments and agencies under him.

press9jatv:

Wike is a representative of the president and the governor of Abuja. He is in custodian of ALL lands in the FCT.

The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces.

The young officer is merely following orders and I don’t see any fault on his part.

As for Wike, his error was the use of the word “fool”. Otherwise no fault.

The real problem here for me is the retired chief of Naval staff who did not follow the law and put his assigned officer in the firing line for his misdeeds.

DeLaRue:
The country is just in chaos.

A military personnel should not in any way be out blocking a minister from carrying out his duties.

Nigeria is NOT Pakistan.

In the scheme of things, the military is beneath the Executive arm under the constitution and a Minister is senior to even the Chief of Defense staff.

So, who is the army guy's boss that sent him to prevent a Minister of the Federal Republic from performing his lawful duties

In a serious country, the military senior that sent the guy to do the hatchet job will be investigated and demoted. But not in Nigeria. No wonder we have attempted coups.

No doubt..... seems like most people don't know the military should not be involved in civilian affairs. The Minister himself seems not to know that. Since the "small boy" said he was following instructions it was for Wike to find out who gave the instructions instead of engaging him. It seems to me that Wike ...and the general public are afraid to even find out who gave the instructions. Cowards everywhere.

lol Nigeria is half gone... This is how they create illegal bunkering all in the name of ...." I be army man" I be general for police station...🤣🤣

Just go n listen to fela kuti song " power show" u go laugh Taya 😂

How civil do you want him to be. Wasn’t he civil enough. Must he say Yes Sir.

Christistruth00:
Yes

Didn’t you already know ?

Woke didn’t act maturely in that kind of situs.
He thought intimidation would work

There’s a way he could have acted, this wouldn’t be new’s at all

DeLaRue:
What about them.

Are they above the law.

Any retired military personnel, however senior, can be charged, arraigned before a court of law, and slammed in prison if found guilty of committing an offence under the laws of this country.

I am not even commenting on whether Mr Wike's office is right or wrong regarding the said land, as i don't really know the facts.

But I am repulsed that people queued under the sun, persevered with great discomfort, and in some cases some lost their lives just to exercise their democratic rights to vote, then one un-appointed, and -unelected retired military person will sit in his house and defy a Minister in such a public way in a civilian government

Those unelected people ensure you can queue under the sun to exercise your democratic right. You are complaining of the sacrifice you made in just one day, they are called upon to make sacrifices EVERYDAY! Sacrifice that may include their lives!

What purpose is a man trained with tax payers money to serve and uphold the integrity of FRN,what purpose is he serving protecting private property which was clandestinely acquired by whatever superior you are referring to here.....why would a soldier that should be helping fight the insurgents running riot over sections of nigeria,why should he be guiding private property.

qtx:
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.

I hope you are not one of the people that conderm military shooting at the toll gate and blamed it on SanwoOlu. Hope you now admit that military only take order from his superior and not from the civilians

You know when they say don't follow the advise of every old people meet, because foolish people too grow old, I believe it today.

A soldier ONLY ANSWERS to his commanding officer.

By that code, the military authority will definitely caution him rather than dismiss him.

He was even very mature in maintaining discipline in the face of provocation by the minister. Soldiers don't take orders from civilian ministers but their C. O. as stated earlier.

press9jatv:

Doesn't matter.

Ambassadors are not elected too, but appointed, and they get to represent the entire country.

The president is elected, then he delegates authority by making appointments.

DeLaRue:
You are incorrect.

In the pecking order of seniority, a Minister is even more senior than the Chief of Defense Staff.

That is why the Chief of Defense staff is under the Minister of Defense.

Military should be in barracks, not dictating to a senior representative of a civilian government whether he can or cannot enter a privately owned piece of land.

I hope the government doesn't take this lightly.

These are the sorts of excesses that breeds indiscipline in the military.

Even the as C-in-C only gives policy advice or command, the senior officers give operational order. President or minister or governor will not be in the office and understand what's happening in the field or when the urgent need to act

Wike's ego was badly deflated by the young naval officer. Now, Wike needs his sycophants to help inflate the ego back. Joe Igbokwe and other gutter characters should please keep pumping Wike up. We don't want Wike to commit suicide because of his deflated ego.
