Respect to this fine soldier!
Common sense should have informed our minister that soldiers take instructions only from their superiors. You may be a minister, but you are not his superior.
Secondly, when will some people stop using age as a weapon? Why such low self-esteem that you cannot speak with decency? Between the military officer and the minister, who was more composed? Who was more professional? Who showed real class?
Thirdly, a time will come when judgment will fall upon all corrupt and incompetent politicians. On that day, Nigerians will wake up and know their rights! How dare you, as a minister, tell a fine military officer to “shut up”? Who are you to do that? Are you his employer? You are merely a civil servant, living off the collective wealth of the people.
Lastly, why would a minister attempt to seize people’s land? Are you aware that the law allows such action only when it serves the public interest — for example, to build roads or hospitals? Even then, compensation is required. When will we truly understand our rights? Why must people rely on ministries to defend what is already theirs by law?
Where is the court order authorizing the minister to take over that land? He cannot break the law and still expect others to obey it. It makes no sense. He has no right to invade private property without a court order. If the minister wants justice as politicians always claim let him go to court.
This ongoing land grabbing by government officials must stop. I will not go into all the details of what we are experiencing, but enough is enough. This nonsense must end!
