For long the military in Nigeria has seen themselves as being Just a little above the law.

At a time they forced themselves on the nation as the de-factor rulers and today many right thinking Nigerians still believe they are the foundations of the nation's woes.

The encounter between Minister of the federal republic of Nigeria Nyeson Wike and Lt. Yerrima of the Nigeria naval forces again brought to the fore the lazy impression of some military officers that they are a superior being.

Which is true but not under questionable circumstances like protecting a purportedly illegal land allocation.

Land allocation administration in Abuja falls under the purview of the federal capital Territory Minister.

So it is not out place for him to personally oversee the evacuation order in this instance even though officers of the Nigerian navy command should have been a lot better addressed.

But the Minister was clearly frustrated by the antics of the military bigwigs who use the influence of the military to cover their frauds and there are plenty of it in Nigeria.

However because of a few bad eggs the military should not be subjected to any form of disrepute. They gallantly stand in for the nation when others cannot. 

It is unethical to impose millitary might in civil matters because that's the jurisdiction of the civilians and military officers must accept the route of judicious undertakings.

If not clashes like this would be inevitable. 

Overall humility has not been Nigerians best characteristic and everyone seeks for ways by which he can arrogantly oppress his fellow Nigerian.

A reason in my own opinion many join the military and not really because of that desire to serve the nation
