How many of us will accept what Dele Farotimi did to Afe Babalola? Most of us just join the bandwagon.

He made terrible accusation about the man and published them in his book that has now gone global. That means, if those details are false, how will he retrieve the book from the thousands that have bought it globally

If we are in Afe Babalola’s shoes, and someone wrote terrible things to destroy our hard earned reputation, and have the effrontery to publish them in a book that would be read by children that are not yet born, am not sure we would take it likely. I don’t know Afe Babalola and I don’t know Dele Farotimi. I just took my time to digest the information objectively and dispassionately. I will advise us to do the same

DaddyUgonna:
Almost all the Yoruba lawyers are corrupt.

Dele Farotimi is Yoruba and he's a lawyer.
You Igbo Obidients really need to connect your fingers to your brains before typing. That's if you have brains.

ogaemma:
With all his experience, education and exposure I am so shocked that Chief Babalola could be so clueless on how to handle such a sensitive case.
This case is another fresh evidence to the world on how the elites in Nigeria have corrupted the Security Agencies and the judiciary to oppress people.
Because it has been clearly defined that Dele's offense was a bailable one.

When the gods want to destroy a man, they first make him unreasonable.

Global star in prison like MNK abi,let them incarcerate you too so you can be global

I just bought it on Amazon now.

Hoping to read it later.

I bought the book for $12.99 to read on my kindle.

The Nigerian legal profession is a pyramid of thieves with Afe Babalola at the top.

Interesting

We hear rubbishes like this everytime some not so popular idiots misbehave. Maybe we should remove defamation and libel from our constitution, then we see how we all will fair after that.

Popular ko, perpendicular ni

Nobody is saying you should not be outspoken. Be outspoken, respect yourself and respect the law. Don't say bad stuffs about othe people you cannot defend and provide facts. Eschew bad belle, purge yourself of hate.

Dele farotimi time has come.....God announces ppl differently.....That's why I believe in patience and diligence.......though it tarries but it will sure come to pass.....Trust in the Lord.....

Maitunbi:
It makes one wonder how the man could have amassed so much wealth otherwise.

Femi Falana is also a force but I doubt he is so rich. Possibly because he doesn't soil his hand with ill gotten wealth.

I laugh in Spanish. Don't underestimate Femi Falana. I'm giving you a first-hand info here ooo. You don't know what goes behind the curtains.

DatIgalaDude:
No try this generation o.
A trial will convict you!

Sorry to say, This generation is very stoopid. All you care about is clout and attention. The way you reason is astounding.


Did he defame Babalola and the judiciary?

Does Afe Babalola have a right to defend his reputation in the twilight of his years?

Is defamation a crime in Lagos?
If not Is it a crime in Ekiti?
Where does Babalola live?
Was he charged in Ekiti?
Does Ekiti have jurisdiction?
Was he served notice by the court in Ekiti?
Did he appear in the Ekiti court?
Was a bench warrant issued by the court and was he aware?
Do the police from Ekiti acting on the bench warrant have a right to come to Lagos to arrest him?
Did they manhandle him when they arrested him?
Is he entitled to bail having been arrested under a bench warrant?


These are some of the questions you should ask instead “ppppularity”

Don’t worry he will be popular aand famous worldwide (as if anybody in the world cares but Nigerians) but he will serve his sentence!

Nigerian abuse the word “world”. The world has too many problems right now to give 2 hoots about an unwashed Rastafarian lawyer wannabe activist. Nigerians abroad don’t have time either.

Glimpsetv:
A man has taken to social media to explain how Afe Babalola inadvertently made Dele Farotomi a global sensation by arresting him.

According to the man, while Afe Babalola may have had a legal case against Dele Farotomi, the way he handled the situation backfired. Instead of silencing Farotomi, it brought global attention to the very issues Babalola was trying to suppress.

The man explained that Farotomi's book about Afe Babalola, which led to his arrest, has now gained worldwide recognition. Interest in the book has skyrocketed, making it a bestseller globally. Originally priced at $4, the book is now selling for as much as $17 on Amazon.

He warned Babalola to tread carefully, emphasizing that this generation is vastly different and more outspoken than previous ones.

Watch and listen.

Don't worry. It's a season film that will lead dele Farotimi to jail.

Afe Babalola is not Atiku. Obasanjo wrote a book and he called Atiku thief in the book but Atiku couldn't challenge him in court bcoz he knew Obasanjo was right to have called him a thief.

Dele Farotimi alleged in his book that Afe Babalola bribedm judges and the man was not ready to take such. Let Dele Farotimi have his day in court to tell Nigerians what made him to say so for he who allege must prove.

PulaPower:
Global? Lol. Well informed people don’t reason like that..

Just pray Dele has proof to all these allegations he wrote in his book cuz if not, he’s a goner!

But if he sure can prove all these allegations, then he’ll become more great! But for now, he’s just sitting on a rope!

It’s a 2 way thinza..

How will he proof it? I think Naija judicial system would start the so-called cleaning up, on his head going forward. The millions he would see on Amazon, will be spent by his wife and kids, while him will be languishing in the Kirikiri.

You should know that that small episode can reduce Babalola status in the society. The enemies who have been waiting for a day like this will come out using this as evidence against Baba. Wait while the season movies are unfolding

Nobody denied him bail. The case was adjourned to hear the bail application. If am Chief Afe, cry all you can, Dele MUST prove his claims.
Forget the global and how the book is best seller, it's mainly Nigerians buying the book.

The more reason Afe needed to have gone this way. If he didn't, the book will be taken to be the total truth

Reason i don't pity some people when terrible things happen to them and they cry bitterly. They will supporting cheer same situations happening to other people.

Las las we will remove libel and defamtion from our constitution, lets see how we all we fair.

You people no get sense at all? Let me ask you, what will be your reaction if someone try to defame you with unsubstantiated allegations?

The arrests and illegal detention has proven what he put in the book to be right.

The elites use the law enforcement agencies for oppression.

Ideally, he should be charged to court.

What is this LP and PDP Sympathersers saying, afterall,Dele,na LP Member!
Na so de no win elections but claim they're holding ' World Press Conference ' by both Obi and Atiku! Can you just imagine - anything is possible in Nigeria.
Nigeria may not be Perfect in her quest for Democracy and Justice,but if we want true Justice,we should be Truthful too and hope Dele is- for he that comes to Equity Must come with Plain/ Clean hands .
What Nigerians should be deeply looking at is - why are there, hundreds and thousands of Cases- with some over 5yrs,10years and,Decades in Our Courts -from National Industrial Courts,High Courts,to Higher Courts,to Appeal Courts and Supreme Courts?
Is it that we don't have Enough Personnel or lack of Experts-or Experience,that is causing delays,etc?
Or why is our own different.e.g you can't be having continuous Postponement of Cases in UK,Europe - without the Judge questioning reasons for your delay and see,if you will not be threatened to lose your Practising Certificates -for delayed justice is denial of Human Rights,as far as Britain , Europe and USA is concerned!
Why is it faster to get judgement in cases in Political Matters than others? Are they not also important?
Or why should Political matters be treated faster,with expediency?
So,why is Nigeria different,in all these?

I understand your position...
But...
Afe Babalola should have handled...
this scenario in a matured way.....
Ekiti police should have invited the other party...
instead of arrest in a gestapo style......
Ekiti police got furious that they forgot...
to follow protocols....
Na normal style of Naija elites...incl Afe Babalola..
I have the power and connection...
so I can deal with you....
Nothing will happen...
We have a long way to go in Naija.....

I will sue them to court for libel, slander and defamation, I wouldn't use police force to abduct them across state lines ...well thank God for Afebabalola Dele Faro is now an international Amazon best seller

You are struggling to make sense. Dele made allegations that are damaging to Afe Babalola. Those allegations could be true of false. Now Afe Babalola instead of going to court, decided to use the instrument of the state to hunt Dele. That is the problem and what is drawing sympathy to Dele.

Relax a bit.What we should try to do is establish the truth first, what if Dele Farotimi is right?
We all know how rotten the entire system is.
Afterall Dele has been arrested will eventually have his day in court to prove his claims even though it's still a corrupt system.
If true then people like afe babalola should be stoned to death,unfortunately we are not in medieval times anymore.

zeusdgrt:
Since he arrested the guy,he should go and arrest the books too.The problem we have is the set of people that enjoyed Nigeria at its prime,they got things easy and cheap and they are greedy and selfish.Imagine fraud cases of billions not to talk of the one we don't know, someone was accused of stealing 89billion! I don't respect the ones that they call elders anymore cz their generation is the worst and cruel in Nigeria today and they want respect.I repeat the generation of Nigeria that gained independence is a curse to this nation

if u hear dis name in Nigeria....... Elder, honourable, pastor. Omo run for ur life

Funny enough... Délé Farotimi never knew he would have this kind of global recognition just as celebrities 🤷
