Lifestone:
If I'm Afe Babalola, this will be phase 1, after he must have been convicted, I will begin the civil suit against him and claim damages, Barr him from further publications and force him to apologize.
He may have a point, but he's reckless and brash. That's not smart

badoh:
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?

adonainana:
He doesn’t have to prove anything,

If I were him I will even write another one title
Why afe Babalola is a thief and put it online again to sell

Nothing will happen

This country must work by fire by force

VULCAN:
How did you sit in your parlour and deduce that Dele has no facts to back up his case?

Reading your entire writeup it's clear you are a supporter of our bastardised system.

Probably,you are a beneficiary or someone close to you is benefiting.

Burna Boy's security details shot a man in the club for warning Burna to stay away from his wife. To avoid arrest, Burna flew out within 24hrs and stayed away for a while.

He came back and the press and police have moved on. No doubt he settled the police and nothing came of the matter.

What if that was your brother?

The same Burna arrested Speed Darlington and they dragged him to Abuja.

I'm sure you like abuse of power...

That is, until it is used against you

Be guided

NaMe4:
Where is he supposed to prove his allegations?

In a court or in a police cell? What is he doing in police detention?

This event is already proof of part of the allegations made.
You can imagine what helpless Nigerians not as fortunate as Dele Farotimi go through; it would have been doom for them.

This is one of the reasons whistleblowing is counterproductive in Nigeria.

We now have a Country depreciated to the level where a common criminal caught on video collecting bribes as a governor, becomes a party chairman and you still have impoverished folks hailing and defending such.

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..

BENEAMATA:
And where is dele , a lawyer supposed to prove his allegations against supposedly corrupt judges ? By crying foul in a book ! With no single evidence tendered in the said book other than , well , saying and repeating again and again that thei judges are corrupt , so we should take his word for it .Is reviewing judgement of supreme court justices an illegal process ? I don't pity that chatter-box cashivist one bit , he allowed himself to be goaded by dimwits bray mobs who won't be there when his hard fall down to earth will occur concerning this whole debacle .

otherway:
So you think Dele is that daft not to have evidences... Have you watched the interview he made on channels?

He dared babalola to charge him to court.

Unfortunately, the use of police is not allowed in defamatory cases which further proves that Babalola is currupt.

PulaPower:
No bro. I don’t think dele is daft. And yes, he has been charge to court already. This is why I said I hope he’s got evidence. Nothing emotional here bro..

otherway:
Has he been released from prison?

PulaPower:
Not yet..

Court will sit on the matter on Dec 10..

otherway:
Common sense should tell you that you don't provide evidence in police detention.

In cases of Defamation, the defamed sue the defamer to court and not arrest

otherway:
That is the point..that is the curruption.

In defamatory case, police is not involved.

adonainana:
You watch too many Korean movies

For this same Nigeria you want all of this to be done and yet you are not convinced the age Babalola man would have to bribe judges all the way to the top to get this done for him.

Even common protest against t pain shege, people were rounded up and were charged with trying to overthrow the government

Go to court and see cases that I have been there for 20 years and still counting

All of a sudden you want him convicted, barred because he accused afe babaloloa of corruption ,

Maybe you think the man is up against us a mumu like you people too and is not a lawyer too himself .

Like I said only if afe babalola goes and does what he has been doing all these years bribing judges he can even get some relief in this case

Emefilee stole trillions of naira till today , no award of Damages, no conviction, no publication of apologies to the Nigerian tax payers

ENI KU RE all of you people defending the old corrupt man

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.

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.

BENEAMATA:
you're also free to publish that book since farotimi is indisposed and make much more money . Cash out december for you , come on .Believe me , nothing will happen .Go ahead now .

SendoSendal:
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

jubrilELsudan:
ABEG ANYBODY GET THE PDF VERSION OF THE BOOK?

Guestmale:
Reading some comments on nairaland makes me wonder on our sense of judgement.

Proverbs 22:1 KJV
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

Chief Afe Babalola is trying to protect his name not just for him alone but his family and generation yet unborn.

If Farotimi has evidence to back his claim good for him but if he doesn't, then he must be ready to face the consequences, thank God they are both lawyer.

Rajiolaade:
You are the illiterate and the novice here, someone defamed another person criminally,he was arrested before he japa to come and provide evidences to prove the allegations,is it the boys scouts that would enforce that he face procecution? those that rushed the books would soon found out that they were scammed to buy them because dele would not be able to establish his lies.

adonainana:
You can’t indispose the truth, the man was corrupt now he will die a useles death with his corrupt practices alongside everyone who has made this country unbearable

As for you online zombies , Shebi one day police will arrest you and call you a yahoo boy and go and kill you and dump your corpse somewhere

By that time it will be too late for you to know what the rule of law means and what democracy means for every single individual in a law abiding country where all institutions respect the law

In 2024, you are locking someone up for calling somebody corrupt

Even in North Korea or Russia, it can never happen and yet online zombies are there defending it

BENEAMATA:
I know the genesis of you lots vociferous support for a man who denigrates a man's over 50 years hard work with an unproven claim in a book , it doesn't mean we'll all think like Neanderthals who found themselves in 2024 .The courts , not the senior lawyer it is who had him remanded till Dec.10 , you , however still double down on doing even more than the errant activist did that got him here and I say It's a free world , go ahead .Do what your HERO did and expect a different result like the hallmark of who your yes daddy get advise from ! Well now , I know you are fully equipped with hard evidence of Afe-Babalola and our corrupt judges , post them all out there . You think to "F#ck Around and Find Out ( FAFO ) is a phrase I coined by myself . Ignorants abound all over the place just clutching at straws . So it's no longer the noise of the UBA CEO arresting farotimi that you all went with like the headless beings you are . All the things you wish yours truly goes back to you in a bountiful harvest , elders should learn to put their tongue in leash especially people of influence .There is freedom of speech and there are consequences of what you say .It's beings like you and farotimi that has sent many to the great beyond by tagging them witches , " ole " centuries before 2024 just by saying " witch shout last night , pikin die today " . Do unto others we keep telling you lynch mob .

And his disgrace wil be global and a reputation of human right activist gravely dented when and not if he is eventually unable to prove his allegations and finally makes a press release to backtrack on what he wrote in the said book . From less than 4 pounds / copy to over 24 pounds , time will tell if the so-called activist and upright man made a legit or ill-gotten money .
