Wike versus Naval Officer: A Lesson for National Reflection – Peter Obi

Wike versus Naval Officer: A Lesson for National Reflection – Peter Obi

Column, Metro, News, Opinion, ,
The recent needless altercation between the FCT Minister, HE, Barr. Nyesom Wike and a Naval officer are yet another unfortunate reflection of the growing institutional disorder in our country. What should ordinarily be a routine civic encounter has, once again, become a national embarrassment— a typical example coming out of a 'disgraced country' Beyond the personalities involved, this incident raises fundamental questions that demand honest national reflection: Should the military be used for purely civil operations? If proper protocols were in place, should a Minister's intervention in such a matter be in such an indecorous manner?Shouldn’t there be clear boundaries…

Wike vs Young Soldier: An informed opinion by former Corp Marshal/Chief Executive FRSC.

Wike vs Young Soldier: An informed opinion by former Corp Marshal/Chief Executive FRSC.

Column, Metro, News, Opinion, Social Issues, ,
Mimister Wike: Power, Process, and the Rule of Law Any law enforcement officer, in uniform or plain clothes, represents the President and the sovereignty of the Nigerian state. To abuse such an officer is to diminish the authority of the Republic itself. Minister Nyesom Wike’s decision to personally enforce a directive at a disputed site was a fundamental misstep. In constitutional democracies, power operates through institutions not impulse. Executive authority must be exercised or adjudicated through the courts, ministries, and lawful instruments of state, never through confrontation. No matter how justified a grievance, a minister cannot become an enforcer; that…

Trump’s CPC Designation: A Wake-Up Call for Nigeria’s Security Challenges- Sir Chikwe Udensi Explains

Column, Current Events, News, Opinion, Politics, , , ,
A recent interview on African Independent Television (AIT) program "Security Scope" highlighted Nigeria's ongoing security challenges. Sir Chikwe Udensi, a security consultant and Vice President of the International Security Association, emphasized that the country's designation as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) by the United States is a significant issue requiring immediate attention. The CPC designation could lead to economic sanctions, reduced loans and aid, and other punitive measures. Sir Udensi clarified that this does not necessarily mean the U.S. will intervene militarily in Nigeria. "The process that would lead to a military intervention by America has not been initiated,"…

Fulani Terrorism Cannot Be Equated With IPOB Self-Determination: Nigeria Must Stop Rewarding Violence

Fulani Terrorism Cannot Be Equated With IPOB Self-Determination: Nigeria Must Stop Rewarding Violence

Column, Current Events, News, Opinion, Social Issues, ,
By Chief Malcolm Emokiniovo Omirhobo, Human Rights Lawyer & Public Interest Advocate Date: 9th November 2025 I strongly condemn the recent attempt by Sheikh Ahmad Gumi and certain northern elites to draw a moral equivalence between the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Fulani terrorists. This comparison is reckless, misleading, and an insult to the victims of terrorism. Let the facts be clear: IPOB is demanding a separate state through agitation and self-determination. Fulani terrorists, on the other hand, are engaged in revenge killings, kidnappings, land occupation, and violent domination. These are not the same and must never be treated…
