his is the young man, Lt. Yarima that challenged FCT 001 HE Nwike. The young officer has no respect for constituted authority. This is unacceptable. His uniform should be removed asap.

The Uniform Of The Small Boy That Challenged Wike Should Be Removed - Joe Igbokwe


A small military officer assaulting a lawyer, former local government chairman, former minister of state, former Governor and now Minister of FCT and you people are clapping for the boy. Jisienu Ike
.


I stand with HE Wike. He is doing his job. The young officer is standing for someone who claimed he is the owner of the land. Why did the owner ask the young officer to go and defend him? The big Oga would have gone there to tell Wike his own side of the story. Some Nigerians can celebrate anything. A minister of the federal republic of Nigeria is doing his job and one small boy tried to stop him? Arrant nonsense. Make una de play.

What this small boy displayed today has a million meanings. What frightens me is the reactions here. I have been reading what some people are saying here and I get more frightened. Who sent the small boy on this horrible mission? Of what meat is he fed? I am running away with the thinking that those lands were stolen. Take him out of the military asap. He represents evil. He was not well brought up. His so-called bravery is arrant nonsense, full of sound and fury signifying. Take him out . He represents evil. We call this principle of reverse psychology.

Is this young officer the owner of the land? Where is the real owner of the land? He had the audacity and temerity to stand in face to face with a Minister of FCT and we are celebrating the foolish boy who was used as a scapegoat. We play too mush in this country. Let the owner of the land show his face na.

It is shameful that our youths have sold their rights by following those who are destroying them. They are even giving up their positions to politicians who spend more than ten years in office. They have forgotten that they also have a right to those same positions, which are occupied by these greedy politicians.Indeed, this officer should be in his early twenties, handsome, brave, and courageous enough to challenge Wike, a political drunkard who has allocated over $2.2 billion worth of land to his son in Abuja.
It is not about praising this officer, but I closely watched the video I posted, and I didn’t even realize when I started praising this young naval officer. The moment he mentioned INTEGRITY, I nodded my head and realized that we still have officers with strong character."I HAVE INTEGRITY, SIR, BUT YOU DON’T HAVE ANY." This is the biggest disgrace to the FCT Minister. The officer looked Wike straight in the eyes and said, I AM NOT A FOOL, SIR. Then he followed it with "I HAVE INTEGRITY," dropping the “sir” with a smile. 🤣🤣🤣I really want to know this officer’s tribe and the parents who raised him. Today, he has defined himself to the world, while some youths are still praising their oppressors just to continue worshipping them.
I thought you have active brain when I started reading your tweet but I stopped when you tweeted that you noded to illegality called integrity. Where’s the integrity in what the boy displayed, is that his primary assignment. He lacks integrity to be out of his duties harassing people. That’s lawlessness. If that’s what you celebrate it’ll come to your turn and you don’t have any right to condemn politicians.

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
A serving minister of the FRN who derives his authority and power from the president with delegated duty is not Nobody. A minister is a nobody! Really? Where did you learn that?

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.
Go and rest,Mr Man!
Chief Igbokwe is Right 👍 ▶️ on this - no need of name Calling!
We stand by Wike on this too:
As a Governor of that Territory,
•He has right of Visitation - to know what is going on there,
•By a Land Use Decree - Promulgated by same Military Rulers then- He can Revoke that Land- if he found it to be Fraudulently Acquired,
• He can give it -for Public Usages as he has all the Power over land.
•Wike is Temperament,Is Different From Wike that is Performing 🎭 FAR AND aYbove ALL OTHER FORMER MINISTER, WE KNEW TO HAVE GOVERN FTC,ABUJA BEFORE AND HE IS READY TO STEP 🪜 ON MORE TOES- TO MAKE ABUJA GREAT!
AFTERALL,you( Mr Man Aminda ) don't see anything wrong in what Northerners do,since the owner of the land is a ' Former' Naval Officer.
•Wike Is Also A Barrier at Law - So he knows more than those who hates or dance to Bitterness on the Social Media because of Politics and, especially Since Wike does belong to their Caucus!

Joe igbokwe seems not to understand the Military (I believe he knows but feins knowledge), why is the president the president and Commander in chief of armed forces (why are they joined together).
The military is on it's own level, that's why restraint is always taken.

But know that it will be resolved, but not in the public and it will be as if nothing happened in the first place.

Forget punishment! Do you know what an "order" is in the military? Even if this guy is being punished, it won't be a severe one.
People were capturing the scene with their mobiles phones.......are you saying the guy would have turned to cold water because Wike was vibrating? The morale was high on the side of the Navy guy.

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
It is the superiority complex of the average military personnel in Nigeria. The episode with Wike is a complete abuse to power by the military.

you are still wrong here. Wike isn't a commander in chief of the Arm forces.
You are wrong! The president is the commander in chief. The cabinet are devolved powers of the CinC. A minister is an ambassador of the president and operates with power of the president as designated.

All service chiefs take orders from the minister of defense. Therefore you can see that a minister is superior to any service chief talk less a retired one or a junior officer.

Please explain how civil the soldier could have been. Who was cursing and swearing? -Wike. Who was calling the other a fool?-Wike.
What other civility that is more than..."I am not a fool"? who was pointing dirty fingers at the other?-Wike. Which one is should have been more civil here mbok?

My friend go to school! Your education is faulty. Are service chiefs not appointees if the president?

A minister is senior to the chief of defense staff who is the most senior officer of the armed forces.

The only difference is that ministries are compartmentalized. As such, just as a minister of agriculture cannot give orders to a staff in the ministry of interior, a minister of FCT cannot give orders to members of the military without clearance from the minister of defense. I

All service chiefs report to the minister of defense who is the equivalent rank as any other minister. So while like I said, a minister only has authority within his ministry, ALL, I repeat ALL minisiters are superior to ALL military personnel!

If you don’t get this you need to get a refund on your education.

This is the hierarchy

President

minisiters (operating as representative of the president)

Employees of ministries.

HINT: all armed forces are employees of the the ministry of defense. They are employed and paid by ministry of defense, they present their budgets via the ministry of defense.

That kind of reasoning belongs to colonial yesterday and is one reason our military is not modern except in uniforms and epaulettes wearing! In the developed world military officers who are indeed officers and gentleman subordinate themselves to civilian authorities and do not call civvies whose taxes fund the military such names as “bloody civilians”. A U.S. General who once spoke in a derogatory manner about President Obama had to surrender his commission. Grow up!

THE LAND, OWNER, AND WIKE.

" The incident occurred at Gaduwa before Games Village at about 1255.

The land was acquired by Vice Admiral AZ GAMBO in 2020 with all the legal documents .

In September 2025, the admiral decided to develop his land, and after about a week, the Development Control Council came around and asked for the documents and building approval

The engineer showed them.

After two days, they came back and stated that the land had been revoked by the current FCT Minister with no conditions provided.

Efforts have been made to reach out to him to ask why.

But they proffered no concrete or genuine reasons.

Then they came to stop the work, which prompted us to pursue them.

The Minister came around on Saturday and issued enough threats stating that they were coming to bring the building down.

Earlier yesterday, around 11 AM, two bulldozers from Development Control came to bring the building down, but we refused them.

Despite all efforts being abortive

He came down himself, and that's when we blocked him from the entrance and did not grant him access to the facility.

He had to call the Chief of Defense Staff and reported the matter.

*The CDS spoke with the officer that they should come down they are on top of the situation* "

Your statement itself is a conundrum, how can the military act civil... are they civilians?

I understand we are in the era of democracy but don't forget, the military, civilians or "civilized settings" do not go hand in hand. Soldiers are supposed to follow orders to the last punctuation.

If you lived through the military administration in the eighties and nineties in Nigeria, you will understand that Wike broke protocol by challenging a soldier following orders... Wike ought to have querried the chain of command ... not the soldier directly, even the police who surrounded Wike were aware of this, which is why they dared not intervene. That soldier cannot even be court martialed because he was following orders.

If you can recall what happened to the late Chuba Okadigbo back in the days, who even though was a Senate president could not override the orders of the chief of defence staff and soldiers tossed him aside ... that's how the military works sir, which is the reason why sane people should head the military or strategic defence positions, otherwise orders like such would be the normal.
