Dele Farotimi's Book Will Not Change My Mind About Afe Babalola
In this conversation, Babafemi Ojudu, renowned journalist, politician, and author of 'Adventures of A Guerrilla Journalist', shares his views on Dele Farotimi's book 'Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System' and its portrayal of Afe Babalola. Ojudu speaks of his personal experiences, reflections on Nigerian politics, and why his perspective on the legal luminary remains steadfast.

Don't worry Mr. Babajide. We know your type. It's only a matter of time till you realize how the truth is absolutely enough. You truly have your biases.
I don't know what to say about this man but I like the way he responded. Definitely he feels comfortable with Afe Babalola but used his wisdom in responding to the questions.
And some people will open their man to tell us that OBJ is the best President since slice bread. OBJ was a terrible President who got rid of everyone on his way.
Instead of all these evil people saying Dele Farotimi has no proofs, why can't they be honest enough and say the corrupt courts won't accept and valid Farotimi proofs.
Bola Ige was not supposed to join the government. Bola Ige wanted to serve. It was service that killed him.
There's no peace for the kpaiers of Bola Ige😢😢. They shall never have peace. His blood is crying against whoever was involved
PA Adebanjo never like Bola Ige. He opposed his candidacy in AD. He never supported him right from day one. Forget all he said here. The leaders of Afenifere supported Ige to join Obasanjo administration. Adebanjo felt he should have been the one to serve at the Federal. How can you hated someone while alive and still speak of him negatively in death. That is evil. Adebanjo is retelling these stories as if people were not alive and witnessed the events. Adebanjo, as a party chairman, influenced the emerging candidacy of Olu Falae in AD despite Bola Ige enormous experience and his political capital. PA Adebanjo extended this same hatred towards Tinubu for following Ige political alternatives to AD. The party died a natural death when all the financial part of the party was decimated. Adebanjo became politically irrelevant until recently when he ferociously pushed a candidacy of unpopular candidate, thinking that will checkmate his swore political enemy. PA Adebanjo political memo is yet to be written. I wonder what the last chapter will look like. The dead are gone. He should learn how not to speak evil of the dead.
I like that you are very curious to know much about the circumstances that killed Bola Ige
1999-2000's were the darkest year in this new republic. Fed gov't under Obasanjo was responsible for a lot of atrocities committed during that time. There's no way Obasanjo can say he did not know who killed this noble man. I remember Obasanjo saying he was forming a gov't of national unity, and that formed the reason for a man like Ige to honor that invitation to be part of his cabinet. A chicken politician like Omisore could harassed and embarrass him in Ife, and Obasanjo could not do anything about it. Obasanjo humiliated him by not act and fish out his assassins. There were so many killings under his administration.
Those were the days when men were men!!!
Same here. Dele Farotimi's headache is being a failed lawyer
Na your papa failed him?
The memory still lingering on. Thank God for a life well spent. Cicero lives on
Kudos for Bringing this up and Educating the ppu. The Biggest Hypocrite is the One that thinks he is the Best thing to Happen to Nigeria and the Best Yoruba man Ever.
Bola Ige appeared probono for Shugaba in Shugaba v Minister of Internal Affairs, (1982), that's noble of him! And Nigeria watched him get wasted just like that. 😢😢😢😢
His death shook me. I didn't know what to think at the time. Till this date, we still don't know why they killed him. One bright mind cut short needlessly. So the drivers outside the house didn't hear the gunshot? The gory sight of their patriarch shot point blank will forever linger in the minds of his family members. What a pity! Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
Babafemi, I respect you but please don't take Dele's truth for granted
Even though I was just 11 years old then, I understood it was a big deal because all newspapers and broadcast media headlines kept blowing it for months. A whole CJN. Same thing happened to Funso Williams. Na still Unknown Gunmen😢
Very painful
Mr., you were told, "Let sleeping dogs lie," after publishing what was obvious about the judiciary over 25 years ago, and you accepted. Is that true journalism, in your opinion? If citizens call you names now, you will start chasing them with defamation suits here and there. You can defend whoever you believe has done well within the rotten judiciary system in Nigeria today, but believe me, Nigerians are waking up to identify those responsible for their problems.
Even the thief Lawrence Anini had supporters how much more Briber-lola
Why was I thinking that Bola Ige was removed because he is a stronghold of the old brigade. And someone who is a political dynamo has foresee him as somebody to be removed for the present political stage in the west be played out. Just thinking 🤔
Wow, wow, wow, Oloye Lekan Alabi is a great elder statesman.
Uncle Bola Ige, one of the best 😢that happened to Nigeria. We miss you greatly who would have even thought to harm you? You're definitely a Legend who should be honored 🎖 🥇 🙏🏽. May your gentle ✨️ 🙏🏽 💔 soul rest on.🤍🤍🤍✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾❤
The book will only show generations yet unborn who was who in Nigeria and how they messed up the country, whatever your stance is we are listening for further classification
Another stupid man. When you published your stories how many people arrested you and asked for a n50m bail for you to present your case?
EVERY BOOK HAS AN INTENDED AUDIENCE AND I DONT THINK THE AUTHOR HAD YOU IN MIND LOL. PEOPLE SOMETIMES WANT TO APPEAR TO HAVE AN OPPOSING VIEW JUST TO BE DIFFERENT..EVEN JUDICIARY HAS COME OUT TO SAY THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE ABOUT THE JUDICIARY..ITS ONLY IN NIGERIA THAT PEOPLE LOOSE THEIR MINDS WHEN THE OBVIOUS IS STATED.
Why would it? ..you are one of those that benefitted from the corrupt justice system..werey man
Thank you for sharing 🥲
We performed a song for him at STC that year. A very pathetic story. A significant loss even…😢 What a country! Smh
All this dirty fellows that benefits from the rotten system,he dines with the thiefs
So hot o
You heard it loud and Clear is not an Igbo coup.
Uncle Bola Is Unforgettable. He Lives On Forever.
Who cares
Who's being interviewed please?
You should not be speaking about it at all. You can't be unbiased in your opinion. We are not interested in his opinion and let the court of law decide. You are not going to do justice to what is currently ongoing Mr Femi.
...but not surprised. It's a country where crime thrives and anyone who tries to confront the lies will always be vilified and accused.
Someone needs to remind this tribal bigot of a brown envelope journalist that Dele Farotimi’s book was not written for him to change his mind about Afe Babalola aka Afe Baba nla oole.
Disappointed
Majority of those in AD then we're jealous and afraid of Ige's unreal talent and uncompromising nature.He is millions miles ahead of them.

Ojukwu became suspicious and acted desperately
Edmond has a pattern of laying out his opinion on the Nzegwu's coup and events afterwards.
And Giant of the Cemetery
All were games among ambitious soldiers. Read Why we struck
The book was not written to change your mind..it was written to state the facts about our justice system Mr
You are so smart!!
Does it mean Zik was justified to betray Awolowo but Awolowo ought to have gone with Ojukwu's plan despite no prior agreement on cessation.
You are a monkey to say a man makes the impossible possible. Only God can make the impossible possible
RIP UNCLE BOLA IGE
