Imagine someone like Wike in that officer's khaki.... Abuja for scatter dat day.




E nor get anything wey anybody wan tell me, Wike should apologize to the young officer and the Nigerian military. What he did was disrespectful.

SixSeven:
I just want to remind the old folks. Someone born in 2000 is now 25. They never lived in 1993, 1976 or 1967. All those years to them are HISTORY. The one they are living in now is their reality. Don't think they will understand how things were in the past or the consequences of what happened in the past like you lived through. Please be very careful. Show good examples through your age so they can have something to look forward to. Again, they have internet that has exposed them so they can see how things are in other places or how things should be and you are denying them. Old folks should be careful. Forget this age thing and respect your age by showing good examples.


The military coup plotters in 66-67 were in their 20s. The Premiers were in their 50s. Young people have nothing to lose compared to you that have lived younger. Act wisely.

Let's take this news with a pinch of salt. Let's assume it's like the presidential pardon list because we can say once was a mistake but if it is indeed true, then the government has created its own narrative of associating itself with crime. I remember when they used to joke here that APC is
Association of
Past
Criminals

I still want to give the benefit of doubt that the President is not doing this. It's some bad people using his name.

SmartPolician:
Dismissing that young officer is enough to trigger a countrywide protest. Everyone should have sense in this country. The guy was only following orders. It's not his fault that Wike doesn't know how the military operates. The guy is already popular

tunjijones:
Everyone knows that wike is obnoxious and kind of mannerless. But nonetheless, a junior military personnel doesn't have any right to treat a minister in that manner.

And what is a military personnel doing protecting land when there are several people that needs protection form religious extremist and bandits in the whole north.

Sangoamadioha1:
If you are correct then why did the CDS not order to young naval officer to stand down?
The naval officer will not listen to anybody aside the C-in C, the CDS or his boss.
He is not under Wike so wike should go and talk to the officer's boss or the president and not insulting a commissioned officer of the Nigerian Armed forces.

SixSeven:
This was the part that upset me. Wike telling us how old he was etc. Who cares? Why do Africans think that just because they came to earth before someone else, the world must bow to them? Wike was busy trying to prove to the officer that he came to earth before him. Our politicians don't learn at all. The first coup in 66-7 took away senior officials and who headed the government? A small boy called Yakubu Gowon, who hadn't even married or had a child. I think power gets these politicans carried away. They keep talking down at Nigeria youth, displaying extravagance and expect them to bow to them.

Who is deceiving Wike about age? They better learn from history.

tunjijones:
I see stuff like these and the one that happened with wike as a major security gap that needs to be addressed immediately.

Every security apparatus in a state shd take orders from the state government not the FG as the state governor is the chief security officer of his state.

News Behind the News
True Story of what Happened Between FCT Minister, HE. Wike and Lt. Yerima
The incident occurred at Gaduwa before Games Village at about 1255.

The land was acquired by VADM AZ GAMBO in 2020 with all the legal documents.

In September 2025, the Admiral decided to develop his land and after about a week the Development Control Council came around and asked for the documents and building approval

The engineer showed them.

After two days, they came back and stated that the land had been revoked by the current FCT Minister with no conditions provided.

Efforts have been made to reach out to him to ask why.

But they proffered no concrete or genuine reasons.

Then they came to stop the work which prompted us to pursue them.

The Minister came around on Saturday and issued enough threats stating that they were coming to bring the building down.

Earlier today around 11 AM, two bulldozers from Development Control came to bring the building down but we refused them.

They called Wike and then he sent the FCT Commissioner of Police.

Despite all efforts being abortive

He came down himself and that's when we blocked him from the entrance not grant him access to the facility.

He had to call the Chief of Defence Staff and reported the matter.

The CDS spoke with the officer that they should come down they are on top the situation .

This is nonsense! 🥱🥱🥱

2. Recent Scientific Research revealed in 2025, that women have never, in fact, had time against them. It was all false conclusions that led them to believing in such things. A woman is as capable of conception until she is into menopause; the DNA of her eggs remain quite stable until much later in her 40s and early 50s. 🥱

There are in fact little to no benefits of early pregnancy for women, especially and no study out there links early pregnancy to success whether in the raising of children, marriage , or career(financial and fulfillment wise) for women. There are literally no incentives out there for women who chose early pregnancy.

3. Stop following people and begin following knowledge and wisdom, so you stop parroting debunked foolishness. 🥱😒😒

That woman in the picture there, Kate Mulvey's book, Accidental Singleton ought to tell you that far from being a feminist, she was a woman desperate to find herself --- she was signed on to dating services for much of her 30s and 40s-- a man to love her but has yet to. Her book does not portray her as a woman requiring equal rights but a woman looking for a man to complete her.

Bahamas95:
The officer stood his ground and I must commend him for that, he didn't even give a F about Wike's security.


I hate it when these so-called elders think they can use age to intimidate younger people. Even with the insults the young officer still showed him respect but pride didn't allow him notice......The officer was obeying orders from a Superior officer, Wike should be calming down. Everything nor be gra gra

AMINDA:
Today was Wike's lucky day. We could have had the story of an unknown soldier if things had escalated further. A soldier has no address.

mastermaestro:
Seeing that he was a relatively senior officer acting on order, Wike should have been more civil. He would have simply contacted the Naval authorities over the matter. Insulting that officer openly was very crude. Wike should be careful especially with the coup drama still casting a shadow over the seat of power.

The president doesn't need more enemies in the military in particular.

Overall INTELLIGENCE and mental acuity are diminishing in the face of technology.


I love today's technology especially A.I, but I always make sure to keep my brain cells active and working by:

1. Reading daily
2. Working out Crosswords
3. Playing Scrabble and Chess

You need a physical map of there's no data network on phone or phone battery is really low.

obeegee:
That officer is equivalent of lieutenant. Meaning he is probably around 26years old. Na wetin dey vex Wike.
