Emu4u2c:
If your dad was allegedly defamed that he was a pedophile, would you let it go?

Angelfrost:
My father has been alleged to be a lot of things...!

He chose not to sue!

Now, the key word there is SUE!

It's a civil matter that a Judge should issue summons to the person accused...!

Once in court, the lawyers take it from there...!

The only time the police come in is when a warrant is issued for his arrest by the judge for his failure to appear in court when summoned.

Why is this hard to comprehend?!!

Do you think defamation is a strange or new thing in Nigerian law or any law anywhere in the universe?!!


I certainly will not get the police to arrest, handcuff and imprison whoever defames my father all because I'm wealthy and powerful.

Mine is to petition and sue... The courts take it from there. The lawyers of both parties take it from there.


Wasn't VDM accused of the same issue, the exact same issue by Falz and his family?!! Did the whole thing play out like this?!!

Emu4u2c:
I will reply to the first one
Farotimi was the first person to blow this whole thing out of proportion when he published a book against the legal luminary...He highlighted this case thinking he could spoil afe babalola's reputation before the global audience and let me tell you this..more than half of afe babalola's clientele base are foreigners...So he should prove all what he said publicly just as he published his libel publicly

Then let Farotimi prove all the non sense he wrote in his books

Angelfrost:
Good... We are still talking about defamation, sir.

This is up to the courts and the judge.

It is a civil suit... Dele should be sued and given a chance to prove the allegations, and once found guilty, should be severely punished by the constitutional provision of the nation's law.

But, treating him like a dangerous terrorist or someone that committed treason is where I take exception to.

I'm not taking sides at all... I don't even know the man tbh.

Prof. Babalola is who I know, love and truly respect.

Please, don't get it twisted.

Nnamdipapa:
You keep calling him useless. someone better/richer and more successful than everyone in your miserable lineage combined. What kind of useless kids we have on NL these days.

epainos:
Now I know that Obi is a foolish man.

Dele organised a press conference on this matter, and he said he is ready to meet Afe Babalola in court, and this useless man is making Afe Babalola feel like a god. Obi is useless. Dele said he is ready to meet him in court. And if the court fails him, he is ready to go to prison. Has Dele ever told anyone he is not ready to enter Nigerian prison? It is like saying Fela Kuti should beg.

Obi should mind his business.

This is about the judiciary. Let us see the end of this matter. If Dele is right, may Afe Babaloa spend the remaining part of his life in disgrace. And if Dele defamed him, let him dance the music he has played.

Obi is one of the evil Nigerians that will not allow the system work. Let the system work. Let the drama play itself for goodness sake.

By the way, Dele is ready to go to prison. Also, Dele is not poor and he has the means to run away, but he has chosen to stay behind. He said a lot of things about Tinubu himself. And he didn't run away. If he has anything on Obi, he will say it.

This is our judiciary vs defamation. Let us know the real truth. Even if Dele goes to the prison cos of bad system, we will still see evidences. Afe Babalola is not a god. He should be disgraced if he is one of those useless SANs that bastarsized our system.

We all know that strong people bastardized it. So, if God is going to start with Afe Babalola, let it happen. And if he is innocent, let Dele pay for it.

So, Obi should stop this nonsense.

kelvindj98:
That is why your brothers rotting in different prisons abroad. The only value you ibos see is money. It is important than any other thing in ur miserable lives.

Vivianat:
Mr Peter Obi apologised on behalf of the activist Farotimi and appealed to Aare Afe Babalola SAN for soft landing for the incarcerated activist. Mr Obi follows the long queue of eminent people who have been appealing to the Aare in recent days.... He also visited the incarcerated lawyer at the Ado Ekiti prisons.

Dbegining:
Many folks her are just ignorant.

Defamation as a criminal offense doesn't even exist in Ekiti State laws. So, I don't even know the law which the suit is standing on.

The cybercrime act that they are sueing on has been repealed and no longer exists.

All these APC zombies are not only ignorant but also dumb.

Berankis:
You have spoken well but Nigeria is not a country where you get justice. Has anyone you know ever got justice in this country, most especially for standing against injustice? They are always drowned at the end of the day and it is we Nigerians that always drowned them due to our lack of adequate support and common stand for the truth. We are always cowards who like to watch while a few stand up to fight and die for us. Countless people have trailed this line and all went down and a lot more will follow and we can only "watch the drama" instead of taking a stand against what is silently killing us all as a people - corruption.

epainos:
Hahaha. The same Obi that went to Oyedepo and was doing Yes daddy! Your head dey pain you. If he is your father, good luck. Obi definitely will benefit as one of my sons instead of going about wasting his life and time. I can lend him wisdom cos he lacks it.

I don't know how your brain functions. I guess you aren't informed. A man organised press conference after he was arrested and said he is ready to face Afe Babalola in court. That is the same person Obi decided to be a useless man and go beg the man who claimed to have been defamed. Are you ok? Did he beg Obi to see Afe Babalola? Someone who has already made a press conference. So, he should go beg Afe Babalola to accept that Dele defamed him? Or force Dele to beg Afe Babalola?

Obi is useless. So, this is the man who wants to be the president of Nigeria. Lol

Mehn! You are a real illiterate. Lol.

NOETHNICITY:
This idddiot couldn’t reconcile ordinary p-Square brothers from his tribe

What a comical brat

Emu4u2c:
You people seem to know more than Farotimi the lawyer...if he can't represent himself..then you should represent him since you know the law too

Peppysco:
May God bless you abundantly for this wonderful submission. Nigerians want a good country but will always support cutting corners. When corruption favours them, they call it grace but when it doesn't, they begin to lament. The same Nigerians are vocal about rising prices of commodities and the poor value of the Naira against the Dollars, yet, they're the ones buying and hoarding forex for speculative reasons. We never ready for the country to develop cos if we ready, then we go know say all hands must be on deck.

yoruboid:
This man is just a content creator like Simon Ekpa

Anything for the gram

So he expects Aare to drop the charges that has brought his illustrious career to disrepute?

By the way, there’s nothing he’s every intervened in that was resolved

Even when he went with cameras to reconcile the P-Square brothers, they ended up growing further apart

Anything this man touches ends up in crisis or more crisis

Even the Obidients are in tears lamenting everyday a and bitter from licking their wounds

Melagros:
COMRADES, I used to love Babalola until this recent revelation by Farotimi I started hating him, meanwhile, Obi is doing a good job

fatherjesse:
Ibunkun ni fun olulaja... Not the type of gworo teeth we have as president who is vindictive against everybody

He tried.

With the way Afe Babalola is fighting the activist, you will think he is truly innocent 😁

SAN my foot, rubbish.

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.
