George D,

Abi O! Na so O!

The soul of a Tzedek interceeds more powerfully for the flock of his pasture, in the love that he had for ALL Nigerians, after his passing into "the World to Come."

Let him be an inspiration and a light in the darkness to all Nigerians and especially young people. They are the only hope of Nigeria. If I was a Lagosian now, I would be organing a broad coalition of people from every part of Lagos and every corner of Nigeria, to convene a convention under the title "Nigeria's Future - Where now in after Gani?."

In that forum I would try to invite as many ordinary people to speak freely and to debate. This is the way forward and I would try to enlist the help of young Nigerian teenagers as disaffected youth to help me organise.

Let this be his memorial and his legacy. He is callin on you to TRANSFORM Nigeria. Don't be cynical like us British! (after the "Expenses Scandal" - they're all the same lining their own pockets! Na SO?

God bless,

Oyingbo Nigeria Johnny

A trully great man indeed !!!

RIP

Too many great men have died this year:

1. Michael Jackson
2. Sen. Edward Kennedy
and now,
3. Gani Fawehinmi.

What a tragic year! Started with plane mishaps, MEND attacks, Economic downturn across the world, job losses. Terrible!

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH,HE IS AN ICON IN MY OWN GENERATION,I PRAY MAY HIS BOSSOM SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE, AMEN,I LOVE MR Gani Fawehinm.

May his soul rest in perfect peace. It is a pity, that Nigeria loss an honest, hard working man who are trying to make Nigeria great. People that should die did not die

RIP Gani! We love you.

Death, why did you do this to this great nation at this period of her life?
Why must you be swallowing the soul of the few beautiful ones, like the
person of Chief Gani Fawehinmi when he was needed most in this our trying
moment.Can you please answer us.

R.I.P Gani Fawehinmi (SAN) (SAM)

MAY YOUR GENTLE AND KIND SOUL REST IN PEACE. AMEN

may his soul rest in where it desrves

[size=21pt]soldier's respect!![/size]

rest in Jesus name AMEN

never worry; hmmm we are right behind u!

Gani indeed lived an illustrious life, MAy his soul rest in perfect peace. May God give his family and all Nigerians the fortitude to bear the loss. Adieu great one!

A time to think of what life is all about, imagine if chief Gani is said to be  dead today then it only goes to tell us that someone should take a minute and ask oneself am i on the right track. To a father, a Boss, a Leader, a Freedom Fighter and most importantly a Great Nigeria we say may his gentle soul rest in peace. We love u but GOD loves u more

Tell it not 2d crooked dealers
that d thorn in their flesh is gone
u did ur best fighting illegality and oppression
ur bit proved 2 much 4 ibb
abacha wld cringe at ur arrival
on d other side
d rest of us, d good and d bad
miss u, adieu

Rest In Peace Gani Fawehinmi.  

Nigeria and indeed the whole world will miss you.

If Humans can stop the death of those they desire, u wil still be alive but unfortunately we can't. U completed ur race and left ur name and action in our hearts and those of our posterity. Sleep in the bossom of Father Abraham. Adeiu the freedom fighter and man of justice

A great man of whom I can't quantify my respect. A brilliant lawyer, a fearless fighter. A true example of how lead with a servants heart. His tireless contribution to betterment of all Nigerians (rich, poor, Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, young, old) can't be contested or measured. I just hope that the examples and lesson he thought livelong after him. One of the few older generation Nigerian statesmen of whom I can say was I proud to have seen in action. I will most definately tell my children of the proud example he set. RIP

Sad news for me and I'm sure millions of other Nigerians. He was an icon in the legal sector and his lagacies will last a long time.
R.I.P. Gani!!!

hackney:

what?!!!!
We just lost the last decent man in that country.
Adieu sir.

Now who will speak for the masses? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Another search
anyway Gani rest in peace

First time Nigerians will show sympathy for the dead without criticizing his doings in life, i guess he must have been a very great man!!

rest in peace SOLDIER

Unbreakable!
Irreplaceable!
Rest in peace Gani!!!

Nigeria has lost a rare gem.
Gani was a symbol of good governance. He fought tirelessly for the enthronement of democracy.
He was the masses' fighter.
His life spoke volumes of transparency, probity and accountability.
He will be greatly missed.
MY QUESTION IS - WHO CAN FILL HIS POSITION NOW?
PLS THINK DEEPLY.

GANI, THE GREAT HUMAN RIGHT ACTIVIST
MAY HIS GENTLE SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE.

Just heard the sad news now from a friend.
He was a rare gem, a consistent activist you can always count on. He was never afraid to take a stand, no matter how unpopular. He was passionately committed to the cause of the downtrodden. I first heard of him way back in the secondary school during a social studies class, over the years I grew to be very proud of him because his integrity was never in doubt, unlike many other activists. He, no doubt has inspired a good number of the upcoming generation that you don't have to compromise on your principles to become successful.

I am still reeling from the shock of it all but I know this: many more Ganis will surely arise in the course of time.

IBB beware! Your days are numbered.

OMG I just heard the news and I ran straight here!!! I am so sad!!

One of the few people that is fighting for us in Nigeria!! where do we turn to Oh God!!

I just got d news 2nte. May his gentle soul rest in peace, AMEN.

Gani we miss u

we miss u Gani. U are a rare gem
