Many children here doesn't understand the fact. Many Northerners are still very angry that Wike is FCT minister and they have been looking for means to get to him but many people here thinks WIKE is doing too much. A fulani man will stand there to call their Naval chief and from there the officer will be sent to where he will never forget.
Una don dey turn am to tribal issue. Dem swear for una huh
From your comment, that is the logical thing to do. Call the young officer's boss and discuss with him and not trying to bully a young man carrying out a legitimate instruction.

Wike a land grabber, fighting another land grabber. Kingdom divided against itself will definitely fall. Besides, Wike is highly egoistic and arrogant. Officer Yerima displayed high sense of discipline that reflected his training -He deserves promotion. While Wike displayed high level of hooliganism typical of a tout. Very shameful. Deserves sack

THIS STUPID DEFENCE MINISTER JUST SIGNED HIS RETIREMENT LETTER

WIKE IS REPRESENTING TINUBU SO SIDING AGAINST WIKE IS SIDING AGAINST TINUBU

TINUBU JUST SURVIVED AN ATTEMTED COUP SO HE IS VERY SENSITIVE RIGHT NOW WITH THE MILITARY SO ANYBODY TAKING THE SIDE OF THE NAVAL OFFICER HE WILL SEE AS HIS ENEMY AND HE WILL SURELY REMOVE THEM ALL FROM THE MILITARY

A RETIRED VICE-ADMIRAL GAVE THIS BOY YERIMA AN ORDER....WIKE CALLED THE CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF A 4 STAR GENERAL WHO IS CURRENTLY THE HIGHEST RANKING OFFICER IN ACTIVE SERVICE ALIVE TODAY AND GAVE THE PHONE TO THIS STUPID BOY TO TALK TO HIM YET THIS STUPID BOY DISREGARDED THE ORDER OF THE CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF TO STAND DOWN BUT CHOOSE TO STILL STAND ON THE ORDER OF A RETIRED VICE ADMIRAL.

THIS BOY YERIMA IS A GONER

TINUBU WILL MAKE SURE HE RETIRES ALL OF THEM INCLUDING THIS STUPID DEFENCE MINISTER

IT'S VERY OBVIOUS NOW THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PLANNING THE COUP
u are just blabing Cho Cho Cho, yes they gave him the phone, how did u no wat was discussed between who ever wike call on the phone? Hw did u no if the officer was told by the CDS to leave the site? Was the phone on loud speaker for u to hear the discussion from the video we saw? Wike himself told the press that he call the CDS and Naval oga and he was told that they will look into the situation and that was wen he left. Wike never mentioned CDS ask those officers to leave So they didn’t disobey any order.

YOU GUYS SEEM TO NOT KNOW THE IMPLICATIONS AND GRAVITY OF WHAT THIS STUPID YERIMA BOY JUST DISPLAYED

A RETIRED VICE ADRIMAL GAVE HIM AN ORDER.....THE CURRENT CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF WHO IS A 4 STAR FULL GENERAL AND THE OVERALL SUPPERIOR OFFICER OF THIS STUPID YERIMA BOY AND EVEN THE RETIRED VICE ADMIRAL GAVE THIS BOY YERIMA AN ORDER TO STAND DOWN BUT HE STILL WENT AHEAD TO DISREGARD THE ORDER FROM A 4 STAR FULL GENERAL AND HIS SUPPERIOR TO UPHOLD THE ORDER FROM A RETIRED VICE ADMIRAL WHO IS EVEN JUNIOR AND UNDER THE PRESENT CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF

THIS YERIMA BOY WILL SURELY BE COURT-MARTIALED

HOW CAN THE ALLIEGENCE OF LT YERIMA BE WITH A RETIRED VICE ADMIRAL INSTEAD OF A 4 STAR FULL GENERAL WHO IS THE PRESENT CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF WHO IS EVEN A SUPERIOR OFFICER TO THE CHIEF OF NAVAL STAFF

Officer that has been receiving praises from his seniors, colleagues and juniors.

I no wan post WhatsApp status of some officers, retired and serving.

Omo offline wike is a goner....

Let him pray very well sha
Honestly speaking my brother, that guy has been showered with a lot of applause and salutations from all corners of Nigeria. Sincerely, I have never seen a trending topic on Facebook like what I saw yesterday. What happened yesterday should be a deep reflection to Wike that a lot of people are nursing so many personal grievances against him. He should have deep introspection about his character and behavior. You can't just be right at all time or cost. I am not exaggerating, I believe Wike didn't sleep yesterday because I know he didn't see the stray bullet coming.

The only civilian authority who could lawfully counter-order that officer to allow Wike entry is the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Without routing orders through the military, not even the Ministers of Defence can counter-An Order
I would want to know who is senior to the CDS?

Wike is a cry baby, it's obvious nobody has ever had the gut to tell him no, not even the sitting governor of his own state, he's just been humbled by a "mere" soldier, he must feel so embarrassed waking up this morning.
Are you referring to Fubara? If you are, then it's either you're joking or we truly have short memory in Naija.

Antoeni:
What happened was not just an abuse of power, it was an indictment of a failed system that worships personalities over institutions. Wike forgot he’s not the commander-in-chief. Yerima showed restraint and discipline, something many so-called leaders lack including Wike who didn't know he was not supposed to engage an officer on duty.
Nigeria doesn’t need strongmen; it needs strong systems. Until we learn that, this cycle of embarrassment will continue. APC and sense is very far from each other
Have you forgotten ni that when you are.....

You think Tinubu would be happy with what Wike did yesterday?
You think Tinubu not already tired of Wike untamed garrulous behaviour?

Let wait and see after election if Wike will make Tinubu cabinet.


If not for dirty job Wike doing for Tinubu in PDP, he would have been relieved for long.

The reply Badiru gave, might even been response of Tinubu, indirectly, going against Wike

This is a clear evidence that the current administration is in disarray. How could a defense officer openly say that? Tinubu is truly in trouble and he has to be very meticulous in dealing with enemies around him.

This is simply a tribal matter. Imagine for one second that it was a Southern Christian soldier that stood up like that to a Fulani Muslim Minister of FCT. Just objectively imagine such a scenario. It would never even happen because such a Southern soldier would dare not. Even if he does, the reaction or outcome would be very different from what we are seeing now.
Bros, leave that story I am a Christian, but I don't agree with your thinking. Wike is something else and needs to be tamed. This young man deserves a national honour award by showing Wike the army does not fear him.

An Igbo soldier is more than capable of doing that
If it was an Igbo soldier who stood his ground against Wike, the Yorubas will be the first people to throw him under the bus
Re: Lt Yerima has done well: Defence Minister, Badaru backs Naval Officer by TempleHouse: 4:35pm On Nov 12, 2025
Very shameful Defense Minister from the same cabinet can defend this guy.
It's like a house divided against itself.

Probably because the Northerners ain't happy a Southerners is now FCT Minister.
So, you'll never see a Northerners support Wike on this matter.

I'm not a fan of Wike but we must not allow indicipline to reign especially when the land was acquired illegally by the ex army chief.

the CSP that disobeyed Sanwo Olu was also a Hausa Fulani police officer abi? Don't bring ethnic coloration try another narrative this is not flying, dude. Wike as a lawyer ought to know that he can't issue order to a military personnel only the Nigerian president can that's why he is addressed constitutionally as "President and Commander in chief of armed forces"

YERIMA'S COMPOSURE, MEASURED AND CONTROLLED REACTIONS, MADE HIM A REAL DAVID OVER A FAKE GOLIATH WHOSE SOLE ARSENAL WAS THE GLORY OF THE OFFICE HE OCCUPIES!

YERIMA'S WEAPON WAS THE MATURITY DISPLAYED AND DEPLOYED TO KNOCKOUT HIS CHALLENGER, WHO WAS GLARINGLY DEFICIENT IN THE COMPARATIVE SCALE OF ''INTEGRITY'' THAT YERIMA INVOKED UPON HIM! AS SOON AS YEMI INVOKED ''I HAVE INTEGRITY'' THE POWER BASE WITHIN THE NEBUCHADNEZZAR CRUMBLED.

PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY ARE NOT GODS BUT SERVANTS; PEOPLE SHOULD STOP THE WORSHIP AND DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY. YEMI DID IT! THE REST OF THE NIGERIANS CAN AS WELL DO. SHALOM!

It is sad how our leaders do not understand MILITARY ORDERS

the Minister should be called to question the real intent of his action

Is he insinuating that a soilder on duty disobey a direct military order?
What right does he have?
Not even the VP, Only the president can
Which Order?!
Illegal order?
You guys are full of shi.tts
