This sounds like endorsement of illegal activity of the naval officer who obstructed civilian from carrying out their lawful duty. We have serious problem in this country.

Is this a thumb up to officer Yerima? Are you encouraging what happened today? Is military not under civilian rule in a democracy? Well God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Humbly and respectfully your duties aren't land issues that's civil matter. That theatrics today is almost as synonymous as how police men are being used by private citizens to achieve their aim Protect our borders and ensure that lives and properties aren't destroyed Namaste.

Yerima was very professional. He doesn’t take orders from Wike. You can contest the illegality of his actions with the one who gave the order. Simple! I respect the guy abeg. The military don’t worship politicians like the other ones.

If him fit, make him go ahead — start making noise about this one. Let’s see how far mouth fit carry am when institutional discipline don enter the chat. God bless the Nigerian Armed Forces. God bless Nigeria.

Nigerian ruling class sud be worried that Nigerians are celebrating d actions & inactions of the military. This show of love for d military sud force politicians to have a rethink. The suffering, killings, hunger, pains & suppression Nigerians are facing in Nigeria are unbearable.

FCT Minister by Law has full jurisdiction over Land Use in FCT. Wike has superior Authority in this matter, the law say so. The officer showed disregard for Nigeria constitution by obstructing FG and Nigeria Law. What happened today was a disgrace to military. Indiscipline.
