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.

We should look for your social study and government teacher and sue them both to court.

Lol. Generals don't retire, they just leave active service. A General dies a General. There's a reason why even after speaking to the CDS, the boys weren't asked to stand down. There are levels to this military thing. Wike was not informed but he now knows better.

Let me quote the young officer, Lt AM Yerima verbatim,

“Sir, I request to enlighten you, there is no such thing as a former Vice Admiral, a Vice Admiral is a Vice Admiral…”

Wike’s boys don’t know anything, even if Obasanjo is passing today, the current CDS, army chiefs will give him salute.

The so called boss is the retired CNS Gambo......I did be surprised if a single brick is still standing in that place,the land should have been confiscated immediately and whatever title revoked.....this is an aberration to civility by those soldiers.

Re: Joe Igbokwe On Wike Vs Lt. Yerima: The Young Officer Has No Respect by Mannyq124: 9:44am On Nov 12, 2025

That young soldier just put himself in a crossroad. Because at the end of the day, power pass power. And Wike is the one with power, and there is limit to the protection the retired CNS can provide. Even if he is protected, there would be some of his superiors loyal to Wike that can either harm him or cause him problems. But nevertheless, no other option for him, as a refusal of command would put him in another jeopardy.

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

Did the soldiers there attack anyone? No. They were only there to maintain order given to them by their superior. As far as the issue yesterday was concerned, Wike goofed. If you cant comprehend the truth, then it's not my fault. He only went on to disgrace himself. All Wike needed to have done was to call the officer's so-called superior to get his way. Bc the young officer does not report to Wike and is not bound by any law to take Wike's instructions. Those who dont know how these things work insist the officer was wrong. No, he wasn't. If Wike felt he was big he should have spoken to the top officer who had the power to order the military out of the site and not fool himself. Diplomacy, bro!

You are very wrong. If those soldiers are attached to for the protection of his live and properties, then they are under his command for as long as he is still alive.

Every retired Generals (Ceremoniously) has soldiers serving under them.

Finally someone sensible has spoken . And I say it and say it again, the level of morality, common sense and knowledge in Nigeria is below average and a society with this kind of depravity cannot elect good leaders for themselves.

A military man with guns and amo stopped a government official from doing their legitimate job. What is the difference between this and a coup.

So the law does not apply to army or navy or air force?

Any fool with a gun and uniform can do what the boy did. The only thing he lacks is discipline.

The strongest military in the world the US Army are all within civilian authority and the laziest military in the world is acting like gangsters and lawless.

How? Did the guy fought Wike? Did he insulted Wike? Did he even raise his voice against Wike? Dd he even shouted on Wike?

No bloody civilian have the right to address army and a senior army in such manner. I'm from a military home I know what I'm saying you can't be addressing an equivalent of a "Captain" in Amy in such manner calling him fool and telling him "I'm General, I'm Vice Air Marshall is nothing" bro if in that young guy position I swear I will daze Wike a dirty slap for saying and onto care the consequence. What nonsense!!!

I like Wike, I live in Ab but on these his recklessness I won't support him. That young man acted under the command of his superior and he is thereby covered by millitary law so what civility is in Wike acting like a tout publicly?

Make this moderator to have jurisdiction over the politics section. He is always articulate with his statements and shows balanced reasoning. He even engages members effortlessly without pomposity or arrogance.

This is what a moderator should be like. We don't need tribal orientation and religious zealots as moderators

Thank you

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

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.

Yes
Wike is the Minister and Constituted Authority Of the FCT

Didn’t you already know ?

That doesn't mean he is above the law...for a minister of the FCT to demolish a property, he MUST secure a valid court order...Preventing FCT officials from demolishing a property without a valid court order is very correct and a commendable action. It is illegal for an FCT Minister to revoke a land and then reallocate the land to another individual, the law clearly stated that the government can only revoke and reallocate a land when the land is to be used for public interest like building schools, hospitals and others. Do you know two bulldozers were there yesterday ? Do you know that the issue has been lingering for long and the FCT minister has refused to approach the court to get an order to demolish the property ? He prefers to do it the illegal way...We should not allow our political affiliations influence our sense of reasoning.

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

You don’t know anything, you think the GOCs in the state take orders from the governors, why do you think the Bornu governor is always complaining. They take orders from their HQs or the commander in chief, and not from a civilian governor. That is how the system was built to make the C in C have more power.

The thing is many Nigerians cannot reason well. Both wike and the young military officer even though he is following orders are wrong
For years we have normalized abnormality. With all the insecurity going on everywhere, why should military men be protecting private property?
Wike on his part should have followed procedure in recovering the land instead of his usual madness.

You just displayed your foolishne**

RT CNS is most superior to the present CDS because he attained the 3star before him, in addition, you saw the video where the CDS spoke to the officer and nothing changed.

The RT CNS is always a 3 star till he dies and even when he is done serving Nigeria, Nigeria is serving him now

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

The president is the governor of the FCT. The president is elected. The president appoints a minister to perform his role as governor of the FCT on his behalf. T

A person appointed as a minister has the authority of the person elected as president within the confines of that portfolio. In this case the FCT.

So it does not matter if he was personally elected or not. He carries the full authority of the elected president.

Focus your attentions on the retired navy chief. That’s the cause of the problem.

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.

There are levels of command and jurisdiction. ur civilian minister came to a military zone and was making noise. Nobody sends him there.

Even the minister of defence who is a civilian will still follow necessary protocol. He is not direct in chain of command, he is only a political interface for the army btwn the military heads and the civilian government.

The minister of defence unless he is a military officer himself has to follow protocol. He is not above the law.
