- Wike, has pledged to raise the fees for his musical band after they impressed him with their performance in Chinese.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has pledged to raise the fees for his musical band after they impressed him with their performance in Chinese.
This announcement was made in a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), where Wike was heard declaring the decision during an event attended by Chinese nationals.
““Now that my band can sing in Chinese language, I’ll now increase their fees,” the minister said, , eliciting laughter and applause from the audience.
Following his remarks, the band began to sing a song with the lyrics “Agreement is agreement,” repeatedly mentioning Wike’s name and concluding with the phrase “Chi hu chan.”
This lighthearted incident has since gone viral, generating a variety of reactions from Nigerians online, who filled the comment section with a blend of amusement and opinions.

@gedoni_gekpe: “One would expect the entire nation to be plunged into mourning over the tragedies in Benue, Kaduna, and Enugu—but sadly, it seems to be business as usual. There seems to be something profoundly broken in the soul of our nation.”
@ogbenicharlie: “The band dey warn Chinese people now.. Agreement is Agreement oo. Give me my kickbacks.”
@osifekomark: “This band leader can never write his life story and leave out his involvement with Wike.”
@MezieAbia: “You’ll increase the fees from public resources, of course. It’s only in Nigeria where jokers parade as leaders.”
