The Nigerian entertainment scene witnessed another viral moment as popular skit makers Nasboi and Cute Abiola brilliantly recreated the controversial encounter between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Naval Officer Ahmad Yerima that had previously taken social media by storm.
The Original Viral Incident
The recreation comes after the original video showing Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike confronting naval officer Ahmad Yerima circulated widely across social media platforms. In the controversial recording, the minister was seen verbally confronting the young officer, who maintained remarkable composure and respectful demeanor throughout the exchange despite facing insults and abuse.
Naval Officer Ahmad Yerima's calm response and professional conduct during the minister's outburst earned him widespread praise from Nigerians who applauded his maturity and discipline under pressure.
Comedy Duo's Brilliant Recreation
In the skit that has now gone viral, content creator Nasboi, who recently gained attention for his boat cruise with petite actress Aunty Ramota, took on the role of the FCT Minister. Meanwhile, Cute Abiola, who has a background as a former naval officer, portrayed the character of the disciplined naval officer.
The recreation took an interesting twist as Cute Abiola's version of the naval officer confronted Nasboi's Wike character more assertively. The skit showed both characters moving chest-to-chest in a heated altercation, differing from the original incident where the real naval officer maintained his distance and composure.
Fans were particularly impressed by Nasboi's ability to mimic Minister Wike's voice and mannerisms so accurately that many noted it was difficult to distinguish between the actual minister and the comedian's portrayal without visual cues.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
The hilarious recreation sparked diverse reactions from social media users, with many praising the comedians' creativity while others expressed concerns about disrespecting public officials.
One social media user @Abd00l4 commented: "This kind of skit really crosses the line. Mimicking the FCT Minister isn't comedy, it's disrespectful to public office. Some boundaries should be maintained, no matter how funny it's meant to be."
Another user @LoveLove4104 had a different perspective, stating: "They did great in the video. It was a show of shame from Wike yesterday."
User @jimmyshomuji offered a cautionary note: "All these comedians jumping on every trending issue like it's another punchline, just remember, the day soldier boys come for you over using their camouflage to shoot skits, there won't be any hashtags to save you. Nobody will rally, nobody will trend your name."
Another humorous reaction came from @EmmanuelAjao2 who warned: "Next time, just hope Wike doesn't demolish your comedy career for trespassing on his drama plot."
User @LaughNLearnX celebrated the creativity, sharing: "Lol. This is one of the reasons Nigeria is the best country in the world, we no dey snooze."
Background of the Comedians
This isn't the first time Cute Abiola has made headlines for his creative content. Legit.ng had previously reported that the skit maker was among celebrities preparing for the AFCON match that took place a few months ago. During the preparations, he wore Nigeria's jersey with a blood pressure machine attached to his arm to monitor his status, praying for the country's victory in the match.
The viral recreation demonstrates how Nigerian content creators quickly capitalize on trending national issues to create entertaining content that resonates with the public while sometimes sparking important conversations about respect for authority and freedom of expression.
As the video continues to circulate online, it highlights the ongoing dialogue between entertainment, social commentary, and political satire in Nigeria's vibrant digital space.
