That officer was very professional in his conduct during the whole altercation. He deserves commendations.

He publicly called a Lieutenant serving Nigeria a big fool on national television and some of you are still supporting him. Can Wike ever call any of his own sons a big fool in public?

Being an elder isn’t just about age; it’s about the wisdom and restraint you show in your words, both in public and in private.

Bittersweetnig:
Pained in your bone marrow, sorry oh

pained over what oga That wike was humiliated??

Kingof2nations:
So na e papa land self! This country, eh? so as a commission officer, he is using his office to protect his father land instead of our territorial sovereignty.

Wike went there with over 50 policemen who should have been in Benue killing bandits.

Wike needs to watch it. The incident of yesterday is the beginning of his downfall if care is not taken.
His braggado, arrogance, uncouth speeches and a feeling of superiority with lack of respect for anyone will end one day.

Antoeni:
Because Everybody is Tired of what Wike is.
A Rhug who Wants The Whole Country to Bow to Him. Tuffia!

We must Protect Our Gallant Officers Against The impunity Of The Political Elites. We Even Need to Protect Wike’s Security who Were Disrespected By Their Asset Yesterday.

Wike is not fit for Presidency and cannot win any presidential election. NOobody would even make him his vice. He has vindicate Atiku for not picking him. The man is too pompous

Ravenna:
Which Order?!
Illegal order?
You guys are full of shi.tts

Millitary order sir.
You want a three star general to obey a man who was just politically appointed.
Oga rest abeg.

Antoeni:
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

You don't obey an illegality. If a superior orders his soldier to rob a bank, is he expected to obey!?

But this should be the height of disloyalty. A serving minister is backing the soldier over his fellow colleague??

The height of it!!

Racoon:
You expect Hausa-Fulani to throw their own under the bus? Nyesom Wike ego has been bruised. This incident would forever remind him of such.

There is no way minister badaru could have said that.....it will be a big embarrassment to this govt.

runningriot:
Look at how pride has make Wike to make caricature of himself. He is so obsessed with power that now he is a national monument of mockery. The bitter truth is that absolutely nothing will happen to the said officer as a matter of fact he has been seen to be a priceless national hero and as it stands Tinubu will not truncate his second tenure because of Wike's tantrum anything of any kind that will happen to this strong and fearless veteran will spark out aggressive national discuss so he should thread with caution and bow down to absolute power corrupts absolutely! By Lord Acton.

the armed forces is under the control of the commander in chief. For your information wike being a minister wields the power of the president. He was acting on orders of the president. If democracy must be entrenched, that officer ought to be sacked for violating the orders of the minister.

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

You can write for likes and you will get many of it . Abuse of POWER is different from Abuse of System. Abuse of power also have definition of wrongly usage of power by constituted authority.

It is not Wike that was humiliated it is the Chief of Defence Staff that was humiliated. I remembered how a Police Officer that led the enforcement team for demolition of Magodo Estate humiliated Sanwoolu few years ago.

It is not Wike that was humiliated but the System that was humiliated. As FCT Minister, Wike has right to exercise the authority bestow upon him to carry out his constitutional duties without restrictions.

It is the CDS that was humiliated. Serving and retired Military Officers will analyze it later.

During OBASANJO regime , Ahmadu Ali a retired Military Officer and Chairman of PDP lost his houses to Demolition when El Rufai was FCT Minister .

In that little altercation those who are experienced would have seen many things and how Aguiyi Ironsi and Fajuyi were executed at Ibadan

I was told the Army man told CDS he cannot obey his order because he is taking orders from his Boss. The fight against terrorism and banditry and insurgency would be very difficult to win.

In that little altercation those who are experienced would have seen many things and how Aguiyi Ironsi and Fajuyi were executed at Ibadan

If this atrocity is allowed to slide, then our democracy is endangered. The soldier needs to understand that Wike represents the president and only carry out duty in line with the policy of Mr. President. The soldier needs to know who runs the country, his retired father or Bat.

Mr Barrister, What Official duty was the young soldier and his Cohorts defending on a parcel of Land at the time in question?

if he was sent to defend Sambisa forest is that what he'll say to the intruders?

And Now Wike action as FCT Minister according to ur submission is illegal.

God is watching us.....

Let me say this before I make my comment on the issue. I do not in any way condone or support illegality, although Nigeria is all about illegality. However, Nyesom Nwike, who is an embodiment of illegality and a poster child of what's wrong with Nigeria, had been dealt a dose of his own medicine. He thought that his usual screaming and barking like a rabid dog, which usually intimidates his foes, would work this time around. But to his chagrin, his atypical, ill-mannered, rabid-dog-like barking did not intimidate the Navy officer. The officer did not even flinch. It seemed like he was waiting for Nwike to make any sudden move so he could beat him down like a dog. Nwike was so embarrassed and humiliated that he was short of words, and all he could do was walk away with his tail between his legs. I love that! Karma, they say, "Is a B*tch!"

LOL . Will you shaarraaap dia. Mr So quick to tribalise the matter.

Hedonisco:
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.

I bet you are a tribalist, so that is all you think everyone.imagines like you. But you don't know that for sure. So why not just stick to the facts. Did the soldier behave professionally or not? Did Wike behave unprofessionally or not? Everything else is conjecture, stop distracting us.

sweerychick:
I hope all these kids on nairaland would stop defending rubbish

I really hope so, especially the tribalists who are so quick to say it is tribalism.

Sorry, I mean no offense but it seems you use to join Wike in taking his 40 years old whiskey 😂😆😆if not see the what you are posting. From common sense and logic you will know that the young soldier weild more constitutional power than the minister. Arbitrarily, the constitution you made reference to you don't know it very well. Go and check your Administrative Law and know the functions and how each agency or institution as well President Appointees can execute their powers. Illustratively, to say how powerful the Armed Forces are the constitution clearly gives the president the power to declare State of Emergency when it is necessary so as military can bring normalcy. the delegation of authority and power of the minister as an appointee of the president is so insignificant that the president can either not even appoint a minister or can even scrap the FCT ministry because he can be hired and fired conversely the former can never be scrapped because that is the pride of every nation which the commissioned officer belongs to. Furthermore, the president is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces meaning any serving member of the military takes order from the president directly in recourse to bureaucracy or through chain of command. Furthermore is the young man Wike's appointee? or is him working under any ministry or institution under ministry of FCT? And finally which part of the constitution says that in a face of heated argument you should condescend or insult someone?

dey play just dey play

Exactly the case all Muslim will support their own,but like you said Christian Southerner will never try this against any Northern Politician, the other day Newly Recruit ordered Senator Abaribe to come out of his car, if he does not, he will force him out, which Northerner can you do that.?

All evil politicians shall collect one after the other. Iseeeeeeeee

You lied. A police CSP stood up to Lagos state governor Sanwo Olu at Magodo. The governor was forced to turn back. The officer was Yoruba. He kept bowing for Sanwo olu but didn't allow him entry.
So, this issue is a military thing not tribal.
And you people should just stop reading tribalism in to every issue.!

Georgry:
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.

Na soldier you dey underate so? Don't forget it's soldiers that finished off END SARS. If una start wahala, once soldier enter there, guy tell your brain to talk to your legs O.
