Samunosuke:
He didn’t mean it literally. Okay.

What is the figurative meaning of shot? These people want to gaslight us and rewrite the English language. If you can’t speak English properly, use your native language and hire an interpreter.
You know a little but you don't know as much as you think.

You’re assuming that anything non-literal must be metaphorical, but that’s not accurate. Figurative language includes hyperbole, irony, and other rhetorical devices.

In this case, the statement is hyperbolic. The word “shot” doesn’t take on a figurative meaning, but the way it’s used in context is exaggerated for effect. That exaggeration is what makes the expression figurative.

Quest4tech:
me. Wike should tell that to the birds
Abi o. The FCT land grabber must take us all for Lagbaja’s 200 million mumus.

Was that not how lawless agbero MC Oluomo recanted his threat against Mama Chukwudi in the 2023 elections, by saying he was just joking?

How can we all work together to get rid of these hooligans ruining Nigeria huh

iwaeda:
The National Industrial Court of Nigeria sitting in Abuja has ordered officials of a faction of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) currently occupying the union’s national secretariat, including the present management team led by Musiliu Akinsanya, to vacate the office in the Federal Capital Territory.

The judgment also directed the claimants led by Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa to take over the affairs of the union forthwith.

Delivering judgment in Suit No. NICN/ABJ/203/2025 on March 6, 2026, Justice E. D. Subilim held that the defendants and anyone occupying the office through them must immediately vacate the premises and hand over possession to the recognised leadership of the union led by Baruwa.

The claimants in the suit include Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa, Bello Adamu, Eugene Eze Job, Dajuma Saidu, Prince Isah Dahiru Usman, Suleman Adamu, Odion Olaye (JP), Chief Herbert C. Iwuji, and Muhammed Bello Madu.

Others are; Olajide Abideen Abimbola, Lekan Salami Folorunsho, Monday Eleazar, Comrade Chukwudi Asogwa, as well as the National Union of Road Transport Workers.

The defendants are; Alhaji Najeem Usman Yasin, Alhaji Tajudeen Badru Agbede, Alhaji Kayode Agbeyangi, Kayode Agbeyangi, Alhaji Alhassan Haruna, Aliyu Tanimu and Alhaji Haakeem Adeosun.

In the suit, the claimants had approached the court seeking orders restraining the defendants from occupying or parading themselves as officials operating from the union’s national office in Abuja.

Justice Subilim, after reviewing the arguments and evidence presented by the parties, ruled in favour of the claimants and directed the defendants to vacate the union office and cease further occupation of the premises.

The court also ordered the defendants to hand over all property, documents and facilities belonging to the union within the office to the recognised leadership led by the claimants.

It further restrained the defendants and their agents from collecting tickets or fees from union members across the states of the federation.

The judgment is expected to restore control of the union’s Abuja secretariat to the leadership recognised by the court.

Before you know, wicked man will manipulate his way through his moneybag and become president of zoo, anyway, that's kind of leader they deserve.

When you are spending money, you automatically become a good man, even if the money they supposed to be using to develop the nation is what they are spending recklessly for them

Yeah. They specifically mentioned his colleagues name,,,,He can't deny that he didn't laugh too.

I heard one of the Journalists say "...and commit murder..", that person seems to be the only one was conscious of that utterance.
I highlighted the incident because I know that going forward Wike and his team will use that as weapon. He is that resourceful. Mistakes have been made. Hopefully our journalists and other stakeholders will learn from this

Henceforth, any journalists who want to interview Wike should be very careful. Online interview should be best for Wike for now.

Wike was quoted out of context. It was just a figure of speech. Unfortunately, people are so dumb.

So does it mean that the Minister of FCT says things he doesn't mean during a media briefing?

Tinubu statement about light, he didn't mean it, Wike statement about Okin , he didn't mean it.

Birds of the same feather flops together .

Just like Hell-Rufai, Wike has diarrhea of the mouth. There are some things leaders shouldn't say out, if at all, not on National TV. When you are not disciplined enough to comport yourself as expected of an elder in public, you live with the consequences.

I don't like wike either, but only senseless people would take that statement seriously.
