Farontimi was right

Efiiong, you got this wrong.
Chief Afe is the least of the problem here.
He only initiated it. Farotimi is at war with the entire Nigeria judicial system.
Even if he's got irrefutable proof of corruption against the Supreme Court,which court in the land will grant him any soft landing knowing he may have something against them also?
He is in for a long ride...knowing Nigerians after a month will go back to their normal businesses after the initial gragra..he LL be left on his own like Nnamdi Kanu though with more coins in his purse from the book sales most people who ordered it wont even bother to open

I 've had a lot to say over the past week concerning this issue . I didn't want to say much more till the proper hearing of the suit in court but I just realised something tonight - The people harping on the fact that defamation is a civil offence are the real evil people here , and are actually worse than the daily fart guy or whatever name fellow inmates are calling the man child who cried wolf in prison now . So , a legacy should just go to ruins like that because , well , nothing serious can come in the way of retribution for defamers according to the law of the land , just a slap on the wrist . So the freedom of speech apologist are okay with lives/ careers / Aspirations ruined and in tatters as a result unproven claims or outright lies because the law does not provide a harsher punishment for such a heinous and callous act . What happened to your morality ?

So , It's okay to push a married woman to end her own life by spreading fake stories about her infidelity so long as I get to pay the deceased family like say , a 100 million Naira once my lie is busted .will that repair the irrevocable damage already done by a lying tongue ? I await the evidence the alleged defamer will provide in court to back his claim but i won't hold my breath .

Foolish talk, he should keep quiet and allow that agbero lawyer defame him forever via a book. He should prove the allegations.

Bar1941:
People should leave this issue for the court to decide. Farotimi said he have evidences to back himself up, and not even minding to go to jail if found guilty so let’s see who is lying.

Am not a fan of Pa Afe Babalola, but it will be injustice on him if someone all in the name of selling a book or gaining cheap popularity wrote those allegations without a proof.

Good but why detaining him. Allow him to prove his case now. People in the law office said it's not a criminal case. Then why making it look like a crime to express oneself in public.

.

Paraman:
Farotimi told the people he tarnished their image to meet him at the court

Has his stance changed?

Snake001:
Lol

He must provide evidence.

If Afe Babalola was your father, would you applaud whoever defamed him?

If care is not taken, u sef go join Dele Farotimi for where he dey

I don't envy you at all. You live your life fearing the unknown... Igbo domination is your worst fear 😅

Good evening, well-meaning Nigerians,

My name is Babatunde. I'm 28 and an O-Level holder. I had an accident last week in which my left leg got broken in three places. Please help me.

These are pictures of my leg this morning when we visited the man working on the leg.

Please help me. I need your support. My leg has collected the #60,000 left on me. I'm broke and still need funds for daily care of my broken leg.

Please help me. I am asking for your help because I have spent the #60,000 left on me on the leg. My parents have tried too. I need your help to continue my medication and daily care of my broken leg.

The man (bonesetter) working on my broken leg said it will take 6-8 months for the bones to join together very well. Which means I will spend 6-8 months lying in bed every day.

My people now carry me to do the private things I do on my own. Can't go to the bathroom on my own; my brother bathes me. I can't rush to the toilet whenever I'm caught short; I have to call my people on the phone to take me to the toilet. Please help me.

The man (bonesetter) working on my broken bones charged us the sum of #40,000; we've paid #30,000.

The nurse who stitched the wound on my leg and who will be giving me injections and drugs till my leg totally heals charged us #60,000; we've paid #40,000.

Every day, we hire a car to take me to the bonesetter's house; we pay #2000 for this per day.

Please help me. I'm broke, and my family has really tried for me. Please, I need your help to take good care of my leg every day.

Please, my bank details are:

Moniepoint Microfinance Bank
Account Number: 570 702 0017
Account Name: Babatunde Sikiru Yisa

May God's protection continue to be on you and your family. May you and your family never be victims of motor accidents. Amen

Scammer.

Afe babalola has no legacy,he is just another old FOOL all you ignorant mofos worship for no reason, fnck him and his legacy.

Then Farotimi should better be prepared to prove himself otherwise ehn, na beans him go chop Taya for prison to teach him a lesson.

Afe Babalola that has been a bigwig in the Nigerian law sphere since the 60s, a man that made himself very wealthy from his sound intellect in the LAW profession, a thoroughbred lawyer in the UK before even Farotimis Father was born is what someone thinks he can play and mess with.

I pity that mumu DF. He's sure going to jail for this as Afe Babalola is too sure of himself. By the time AB is done with him, DF will go quietly into an early retirement to save face from whatever is left of his battered reputation. Nonsense!

Your head is correct

“I don’t want this to define him. This case should not be his legacy. If I get to the age of 80, if God preserves my life and I get to the age of 80 and 85, I’ll be circumspect. It is not every offense that I’ll use a sledgehammer, that I will invoke institutions of state no matter how offensive what said was.”

So, he should allow him to be without either proving his allegation of corruption against him or recall the books and taking it down online. Is that how this mumu would preserve his own legacy when he is accused of corruption?

Effiong said the offense of criminal defamation is not a serious offense. “I mean even if assuming you were to be convicted it’s not an offense that you will spend years in prison. One year, maybe two, so it’s not like a serious felony that you will spend 17 years so,” he said.

So what? If he is guilty and court say he should spend one month behind bars, so be it as long as it is justice. Did Afe Babalola tell this mumu that he wants Dele go away for 17 years? This guy is biased and has taken side with the suspect.

Jayhome24:
Which legacy

The one your dad can't have in a million Years

PrinzEleju:
Stupid Obidient.

So you expect Age Babalola to just siddon dey look? Tomorrow they will say silence means admittance .

The same mumu lawyer will be the first one to say it.

ERockson:
You guys should stop harassing Prof Afe Babalola, you can't determine how he reacts to his personal matter, maybe you will know how it feels to be tarnished at the apex of ones existence when you reach 90years. Farotimi said they should all go to court and they are there,do what's the noise

He tire me o. This mumu even said that Dele would get only 2 years max if sentenced as if 1 month is not enough. Guilty verdict is all what matters unless he retract and recall his book and apologise

All these stuuuuupid people saying stuuuuupid things

Farotimi made very damaging and critical comments about Bablola in his book.

Has he apologized that he was wrong?

So Babalola should forgive him for telling lies about him and standing on the lies?

And to crown this stuuuupidity, mumu Obi went to there begging like a dot

maasoap:
The one your dad can't have in a million Years

Did your father and your grand father and your great grand father and great great grandfather has any?

9jatriot:
It is this beggey begging attitude of Nigerians that make people do things without considering the consequences. Someone will deliberately bash your car and then start begging you. Onlookers will after a while make you look as if you are wicked for not letting it go.

I hate that thing ehn!

Jayhome24:
Did your father and your grand father and your great grand father and great great grandfather has any?

You asked a question and we gave you answer, rest.

maasoap:
You asked a question and we gave you answer, rest.

You gave me answer and I responded with my answer too so you too rest.

Na do me I do you. Ok

What is this !diot sayin gan sef.
He should not allow suing for defamation define him but he should allow the allegations define him even after death.
All these useless lawyers sef

LegendHero:
Yes defamation is settled in prison.

If you defame me without evidence and it lead to me losing credibility and inturn losing clients and means of livelihood, I will make sure you go to jail.

If a girl accuse you falsely of rapee, then lead to you losing your job, your livelihood, and all your friends, and spoiled your reputation in public, what do you think is enough respite from that sin? You look away or you take her to the court?

You have not answered my question vis-a-vis the constitution except you wrote a new constitution that we don't know

And has the author of the book ever for once claimed he doesn't have enough evidences

If Afe sure of himself, he shouldn't intimidate the man but allow him to go prepare for his case. This is while people are supporting Dele cos in his book, he also mentioned intimidation which Afe just showed the world

You spoke about rape... Rape is a major crime unlike defamation. I understand you don't even have the Nigerian constitution, if you do, you should know defamation is a minor crime. Defamation is a bailable offense, but, with Afe, it's not. Meaning, he also controls the NPF and some judiciary cabals which have put this country as one of the most corrupt
