Nollywood actor Femi Jacobs has also joined many Nigerians in reacting to the dramatic confrontation between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, and a military officer, Ahmad Yerima, in Abuja.

Recall that a viral video captured Wike in a heated argument with a military officer over access to a property within the territory.

The clash occurred when Wike, alongside the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), attempted to gain access to a disputed plot of land allegedly linked to former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo (rtd).

In the footage, Wike, who was visibly angered by the military officer for failing to obey his directive, lashed out, saying:

“Shut up! Keep quiet! You are a fool. When I graduated, you were still in primary school… You send soldiers to intimidate whom? We are all from this country… If not for the CDS who spoke to me now, you would have to kill everybody here.”

The military officer's respectful response, especially when he said, "I am not a fool, sir," has since gained attention on social media.

Femi Jacobs commented on the military officer's response in a tweet, expressing how proud he was of the officer. He also advised his followers to take a cue from the military officer on how to respond to bullies.

"I feel so proud. Well, my beloved people, this is how to talk back respectfully. Don't let people call you 'unfortunate,' 'fool,' or 'useless' unanswered. Don't cuss back, but counter the words. Also, know your work. Be so good that the only standard they could use to judge you is yours in the first place. Bullies are everywhere, but stand, respectfully," Femi Jacobs tweeted.
