Nigerian skit maker and content creator, Cute Abiola, is once again at the center of nationwide attention after dropping a parody that perfectly mimics the now-viral confrontation between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and a young military officer. The original incident, which took place on Tuesday, November 11, quickly became one of the most talked-about moments in the country, sparking heated debates, countless memes, and endless social media commentary. Cute Abiola’s comedic twist has now added a fresh layer of humor to the already viral episode, turning what was a tense encounter into pure comic relief for Nigerians online.
The skit, released on the comedian’s social media pages, shows Cute Abiola dressed in his signature exaggerated uniform, complete with military-style accessories and his trademark funny expressions. He reenacts Wike’s fiery exchange with uncanny accuracy, copying not just the minister’s tone and gestures, but also the officer’s calm, disciplined demeanor. The short clip immediately caught fire, amassing hundreds of thousands of views and comments within hours of posting, with many Nigerians hailing it as one of the funniest recreations of a serious real-life event in recent memory.
The original confrontation, which happened in Abuja, involved Wike and members of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) who were reportedly prevented from accessing a disputed piece of land. According to reports, the land in question is allegedly linked to the former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo (rtd). Eyewitnesses say that when Wike and his entourage arrived at the site to carry out official duties, they were stopped by a group of armed military personnel guarding the premises. This led to a heated back-and-forth, during which Wike, known for his blunt and fiery approach, questioned why he was being denied entry despite his ministerial authority.
The exchange was captured on video and has since gone viral, showing a rare moment of direct confrontation between a top political figure and a uniformed officer. The clip, which quickly spread across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok, drew massive public attention, with Nigerians divided over who was in the right. Some praised the officer for maintaining calm professionalism and not losing his composure despite the minister’s aggressive tone, while others argued that Wike was within his rights to demand access to a federal site under his jurisdiction.
But while social media was still buzzing with heated debates and serious takes, Cute Abiola swooped in with what he does best — satire. His recreation turned tension into laughter, showcasing the comedian’s sharp observational skills and his ability to tap into trending issues with impeccable timing. Known for blending political humor with everyday Nigerian realities, Cute Abiola has built a reputation for capturing the pulse of the nation through his skits. This time, he outdid himself by transforming a controversial encounter into an unforgettable comedy moment that Nigerians can’t stop sharing.
In the parody, he exaggerates Wike’s famous hand gestures, imitating the minister’s signature assertive body language and distinctive speech pattern with hilarious precision. “You are telling me I can’t enter here? Who are you?” he shouts in the skit, mimicking Wike’s fiery tone before quickly switching into mock diplomacy — a move that had viewers laughing uncontrollably. The video even features a look-alike actor portraying the calm, composed officer, giving perfectly timed responses that mirror the viral clip.
Almost instantly, social media users flooded the comments with laughter emojis and praise for Cute Abiola’s quick creativity. One fan wrote, “This guy no dey ever miss! Before news go cool down, he don already drop content.” Another user commented, “Wike needs to see this — Abiola deserves an award for capturing the whole scene word for word!” The clip has also inspired a new wave of meme templates and audio remixes, solidifying its place in the growing collection of Nigerian internet comedy classics.
For many Nigerians, the parody provided a much-needed moment of levity amid the often tense political atmosphere. Cute Abiola, who has long used comedy as a social commentary tool, once again proved that humor can bridge divides and ease public tension. His ability to blend satire with topical relevance makes his work not just entertaining but also reflective of Nigeria’s social realities. He’s no stranger to political-themed skits either — from imitating public figures to highlighting societal issues, his content often balances laughter with insight.
Observers say the reason the parody resonated so strongly lies in its timing. The original Wike–officer confrontation had already dominated online conversations for days, with Nigerians analyzing every word and gesture in the viral footage. Many viewed it as a symbolic moment — a clash between political authority and disciplined service, between power and principle. But Cute Abiola’s intervention reminded everyone that beyond the seriousness of politics, there’s always room for humor and humanity.
Interestingly, the real-life incident has sparked ongoing discussions within government circles about protocol, military conduct, and the limits of ministerial authority in restricted areas. However, while those debates continue, Nigerians seem more captivated by the lighter side of the story, thanks to Cute Abiola’s comic genius. His skit has shifted the narrative from confrontation to comedy, allowing people to laugh at what was initially a heated scene.
Within hours, the parody was trending across major social media platforms, with hashtags like #CuteAbiola, #WikeParody, and #OfficerChallenge dominating X and Instagram. Influencers, content creators, and even a few celebrities joined in, recreating snippets of the parody and tagging Cute Abiola in their posts. The skit has also sparked online debates about the thin line between humor and sensitivity, as some users argued that political situations should be treated more seriously. However, the overwhelming response remains positive, with many agreeing that laughter is one of Nigeria’s greatest coping mechanisms.
Cute Abiola’s consistency in turning trending issues into relatable comedy has earned him a loyal following that cuts across generations. From his early days as a police-themed skit actor to his current position as one of Nigeria’s most influential digital entertainers, his growth reflects the evolution of Nigerian social media culture itself. In a country where headlines often swing between the tragic and the absurd, his kind of humor provides balance — a way for Nigerians to laugh through the chaos.
As of this morning, the parody continues to circulate widely, drawing attention even from political commentators and mainstream news outlets. Some reports suggest that members of Wike’s media team have seen the clip, with many acknowledging its creativity, even if tongue-in-cheek. Whether or not the minister himself reacts, one thing is clear: Cute Abiola has once again proven that in Nigeria’s ever-dynamic digital landscape, no moment is too serious to become comedy gold.
With each parody and performance, Cute Abiola cements his place as not just a comedian but a chronicler of modern Nigerian life — capturing, exaggerating, and laughing at the country’s everyday drama. His latest viral hit reminds everyone that in Nigeria, even power struggles can end up as punchlines — and sometimes, the best way to process national tension is simply to laugh.
Cute Abiola is trending in Nigeria because the skit maker and content creator has stirred timeline hilarity for a parodical recreation of the now viral exchange between FCT minister Nyesom Wike and a young military officer on Tuesday, November 11.
