Am not a fool, I only obey orders.

[Dunamisx]

Some of us might have heard of the trending saga online from Nigeria between the Federal Capital Territory Minister and A Lieutenant Naval Military Officer. To be brief about it, the minister has been sending policemen to stop the building project of a land owned by a retired. Naval Admiral, who was a former Chief of Naval Staff, claimed they had no documents or authorization to build, and no approval was granted.

The Admiral sent his soldiers to stand in defense of what's going on, while the Minister visits the site and has a confrontation with the Military sent by the Admiral, so that all the legal proceedings were duly followed and the land was acquired legally, as they have claimed.

But it turned into a serious argument between the Minister and the Naval Officer in charge, and this turned into a serious fight as the police escorts to the Minister engaged the Military Officers in defense of the Minister. This took them some time, and the arguments.

The Minister said you're a fool,
The Military Officer responded, Sir I'm not a fool,
I am an officer of the law,
I only obey orders

Military and Politician,  who is Superior?

Neither of them, because both of them are supposed to serve their country, means they should see their people as superior ones.

Now come to the reality, politicians may not be in power for long time like an officer but they are the one who create laws so they can turn one thing upside down and can still call it legal because they can do it, while everyone in the country can only follow what is legal.

This is not the logic in African countries. In Africa, the superior is the one who has more weapons and support from world major powers. People are never to be superior because they are manipulated to set (not elect) corrupt people as politicians, which are those in their turn nominate militaries.

In a country that respect its citizens, you would never see a military fighting a politicians, while both of them claim to represent the law and the willing of the people. Only in Africa you can see the army ruling the country and politicians playing the role traitorous agents working for foreign countries.

truth be told in situations like this, the problem is not about who is superior! it is about following the right process because a military officer is trained to obey orders from his superiors, not from politicians and that is why he said, i am not a fool, i only obey orders. he was simply doing his job. beside a minister has authority in government matters, but he cannot directly command a military officer. the military has its own chain of command and the officer was following that chain

The military are superior. Every governments have the support or cooperation from the military forces in order to ensure stability and order. Politicians are the official rulers in front of the cameras, but if they try going against the military, they are doomed, what means the military's interests are priority.

And side by side with the military, you have the judiciary system. Both are on the top of the pyramid, followed by the politicians and riches in general.

So much is talked about democracy and bla, bla, bla. All lies. The interests of a minority always prevail over the necessities of the majority, which is composed by a mass of ignorant fools. Nothing new here since the beginning of human civilization.

The law is superior. If there is legal documents proving either side then that should be followed regardless of rank. Both of them are powerful enough to manipulate the situation. Both of them have connections that can harm the other party but at the end they should just settle this in court. That’s the only way to do it.
