what a stupid ignorant tyranical remark.

Is it the duty or responsibility of the military to investigate land or civil dispute?

I'm bothered by the kind of incompetent minds running this country

yewit37486:
Wike got served because that was what his actions deserved, has nothing to do with him being a non-Northerner. This kind of mindset of tribalising everything is not a good one, it takes focus away from the actual issue.

You and your ilks are equally as guilty of what you accusing him of

Hatred for Wike whether is performing well, doing his duty or not,

You see everything negative about him.

You say he is arrogant and brash, that is not the issue,

The question should be whether is he acting constitutionally within the confined of the laws of Nigeria?

You guys should not allow ethnic and religious sentiments to blind you.

That was how you guys missed it with GEJ, then Nigeria was for everybody

Now Nigeria is in the doldrums, only for a few, the upper elite class

I guess you just described yourself because I can't relate your outburst to my comment. But feel free, it's your choice.

That's what you guys are doing to him in FCT
It is very obvious, remember why independence day parade was canceled? Comtinu

Maybe it is someone else you are talking about, because I am totally lost about your comments. I stand by my initial point, and you are more than free to disagree.

Now I hope all those earlier supporting Wike stupidity will now see that Wike is not someone you can vouch for , he is not a respectable person that respects himself or others , he believes he can control and command anyone , well we can say maybe that is how he is controlling Tinubu . He believes he is untouchable and that anything he says is final. God used that small boy to put him in his proper place and to tell confound his dumb ego

Thank God he didn't win PDP primaries and let's thank God Atiku didn't pick him as his vice , because if Atiku had win , Wike would have been totally uncontrollable

DataDoc:
Those saying the military guy disrespected civilian authority are wrong.

Civilian and military don't operate the same chain of command.

If Wike gives and order and the Chief of Naval Staff gives a different order, in 100% of cases the military officer will obey the Chief of Naval Staff.

That's how the military works.

For me, the officer exercised great restraint despite being called a fool repeatedly. What if he changed it for Wike there and then?

A civilian cannot order a military personnel around. If you have issues with the personnel, approach his superiors to get him to obey.

Till then, you're only wasting your time.

Chop knuckle, let me even add to it. In 120% of the time the military personnel will obey his superior to any bloody civilian

One begins to wonder whether being a military personnel gives one the authority to be above the laws of the land.

The laws governing land use in the FCT cuts across all and sundry, irrespective of one's status in society.

Since Wike became the FCT Minister, he has insisted on having things done in the proper way but, this has not gone down well with the very rich and mighty people.

They would rather wish to maintain the status quo where impunity reign supreme.

Wike may be criticized for his brashness but, a drastic situation, they say, requires a drastic solution.

Come to think of it, does Wike, being the Minister of the FCT, require the permission and authorization of the Defense Minister, Matawale, for him to do his job?

Is it because a retired naval chief is involved?

How many times has Wike sought his permission and authorization since he has been doing his job for which he was appointed?

Nigerians must not let their hatred for Wike blind them to the facts.

In a true democracy, the military is bound to abide by all rules and regulations and comply to civilian authority.

This is what marks a civilian rule from a military rule where the gun is mightier than the pen.

ScamDemicEra:
.... there's a reason why Buhari still went after Umaru Dikko after his coup had succeeded !!

What's the reason

The order to guard a private piece of land while the nation is on fire is now a lawful order.
Both parties are wrong.
Nonsense will never end in this nation anytime soon.

I really don’t know why Tinubu is still keeping Wike, he has no use for him anymore, he has all the governors in the south in his pocket, even Rivers, if he works with fubara , he will get him to decamp. Unlesss he is just feeling sorry for him cause if him comot hand for Wike back as it is so, dem go find am dem no go know who to ask as he get plenty enemies everywhere 😂

yewit37486:
Stop this! Haba. Not everything must be seen from a tribalistic lens.

Not everything but this is one of those things

Last week naval officers sacked a police station did this defence minister talk

The simple truth us that in our democracy any person that gave soldiers an order to impede even LASTMA or FRSC has given an illegal order

Soldiers cannot be deployed for security in private operations but this has been happening even civilians will pay soldiers if they have dispute with omonile and those ones would come there with guns till building is complete

Hedonisco:
Even though there is noting admirable about Wike, This is in bad taste. Northern solidarity should not be paramount.

What is the business of the service chiefs in a PERSONAL land dispute? What jurisdiction do they have to "investigate" anything pertaining to non-military land belonging to a private individual in Abuja? The arbitrariness and anyhowness in Nigeria is just tragic.

so as Obasanjo don leave office,,,one person go come go demolish where e build put o Abi
Na power tussle who get power make e win
if Na common civilian Na the army wen pursure Wike them for use

All what you have described is a systemic issue, not a tribe issue, so we should focus on addressing those anomalies rather than using tribalism as a cop out.

Hoelujohn:
Wike spoke with CDS and CNS. They both advised him not to go there. He should have even called the minister of Defence too but because he sees himself as the super minister, he felt how can he be calling his ‘junior minister’ .
If the military should even make attempt to discipline Yerima, under 2 months, the military discipline will collapse.
My question is what is even a lawful order? When Wike used policemen to snatch ballot boxes, were those lawful orders?

Apparently, you have not recovered from the shameful defeat your candidate suffered at the hands of Great Jagaban in 2023.

Please, prepare yourself for another round of crushing defeat in 2027.
You go wail in perpetuity!

@hotseat

Wike has been abusing powers and privileges all over the place
Let him also get a taste of his own medicine and stop thinking he is above reproach

Are there any tribe issues in Nigeria at all?

BodyCount:
Wike too dey overdo
But, none the less,
THOSE SOLDIERS JUST MISUSE AND THEIR PRIVILEGES AND ACT WITH IMPUNITY.


What's supposed to be the business of soldier mounting a piece of land to do security guard.

THE OLO RIBURU KU BOY WAS EVEN SAYING
"I'M TALKING AND POLICE PEOPLE ARE TALKING"


As if he's superior and senior to every other security officials, just because he is in the military.

It was a construction site

Nwaikpe:
This guy is simply saying that WIKE, a representative of a democratic government, should wait for the investigation of the military before he acts.

Drop all this yeye talk. We know what has entered this issue. The only disadvantage of Wike is that he has fought his own people so much that even when other people are fightting him because of his identity, his own people of that identity cannot defend him because he betrayed them for the crumbs he wanted to have.

Such a pity.

More so, if that boy was Chuwkwu Emeka, watch what this defense minister would have said.

Also, lets put it straight: the boys is not a "senior" officer. He is a a very junior officer. Recently commissioned and should have been in a barracks in faraway Lagos, Oron, etc. But because his father is a general, he is in ABUJA. Na the same juju we dey talk about.

If it was a norrthern politician talking to him, trust me, he wouldn't have had his hands in his pocket. If it was a yorubba politician, his hands will still be in his pockets.

your second paragraph said it all. Wike should retrace his steps and calm down. He don dey do too much.
People don't mind whether he is right or wrong, they are happy he met his match and got humiliated which he rightly deserved for being a bully

Did I just hear you say that Wike has been insisting on things being done the proper way?

Are you living under a rock?

AustineE1:
Wike you are now learning the bitter politics of Nigeria the hard way..."who will bell the cat"!!!
It is in times like this that you will know that you are not actually one of them,be it Ikwerre or whatever you call it,you are an Igboman and you ve over stepped your boundary. Go ask Emeifele who is rotting in the jail while others he worked with in same government,are holidaying around the world.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

Stop your attarche by force.
You and your blothers should learn how to stand on your own.

Wike is Ikwerre, he is not from ugwu land.

E pepper you the way Wike dealt decisively with your blothers constituting nuisance in Rivers

Mrchippychappy:
Let's be honest, if the roles where reversed and that Soldier na Yoruba or Igbo and he stood up to a Fulani minister, dem don kick am out of army since yesterday

Exactly!
I was just going to say, let's wait until we see similar scenario play out with a Northern Minister and a Southern Military personnel to see if the rule will still be constant.

No be Naija again?
Very soon, expect that scene I just described...

Carry your wailing commot here.

Wike did not fight his own people.
He only dealt with those people who like to constitute nuisance outside their underdeveloped region.

chicfarmer:
I feel say baba dey wait make 2027 election pass first. E go drop wike after that. This I have seen...

Carry your wailing commot.
Wike will serve this government till the end (2031)

You people said Wike would not be relevant after 2023 elections.

Una no dey shame!

Wike is the latest Hero of the Omoluabi group in SW.
The group Love Mr Wike die.

Bluntemperor:
Mr Man, Rest well you hear!
Una de Blind, begot and hate truth but what Wike knows - is Far from what Una no as Social Media gaulible commentators!
We know Wike is Temperament and he will will work on his weakness but Can the Defense Chief tell his Boys to always Obey The Civilians Rulers- for it is in their Interest Under DEMOCRACY,
For it is Wrong For Any Security Officer - Still Taking Salaries and Allowances - to be Obeying ANY Former' Army/ Security Officer!
Who Is Paying the Fees Of Those who were Stationed On The Abuja Land?

@He will work on his weakness

Hahahahaha 😃😄😃😄😃😄🤣😅

Like the loquacious emperor is a project that would be taken back to the lab for further tweaking.

Mummy see oooo 🤣

Like Wike or hate Wike, the unansered question to me is who gave the Order to the young Navy Officer, a retired officer or an active duty military officer
