That officer deserves a national award. Calm, firm, and collected while Wike was busy behaving like a TikTok skit maker.

Wike called him a fool, and the soldier simply replied, “I’m not a fool, sir. I have integrity.”
That line alone finished the argument. You could almost hear sense leaving Wike’s body.
When wisdom failed, Wike switched to the big man script: “You were in primary school when I graduated.”

That’s their emergency line when logic no longer works. The same playbook Umahi used on Rufai Oseni.
Age has become their last remaining certificate.
The man stood tall, kept his men in order, and showed what real discipline looks like.
In that moment, Wike went low and the officer went high. Power met principle. One was shouting “Do you know who I am?” The other was quietly showing who he truly is. AAA

For the Military to post that image yesterday in indirect support of the man, it says a lot. I think the political class are getting carried away. Given the recent coup attempts and Trump's invasion (which makes them look like cowards who have been compromised - go back to the politicians and interference with national security), it will be foolhardy to ignore the current sentiments. People are condemning the young ones who are hailing the soldiers but what it means is that the political class don't have the support of the people and if there is a coup, we will see how no one will stress themselves and welcome back the military thereby throwing away all the hard work for democracy.

If they really love democracy, they better behave themselves. Endsars sentiment is still there and these are young people. There is a growing discontent in the continent and the young people do not have this attachment to 93 or before. They really don't care. What they see in front of them is their reality and they don't care about consequences so if we love the democracy, we better let it work well. Look at the Boko Haram issue, You have Bandits who are forgiven and put in the army. Who is happy about that? They want to act but they are helpless because they respect democracy, Na those who democracy benefit no respect am. The political class should tread softly. Even Trump, in the past, you would have expected all of us to say no but because of how the government has handled the matter, people don't even care about any resources, they want to gladly welcome foreign intervention because the people at the helm of affairs are no better. Again, politicians be very careful.

Damagum of Pdp and Makinde should quickly visit Lt Yerima to learn how to tackle Wike.
