Mr. Rufai. You never disappoint in your assertion. You always speak my position, as though you have a direct mirror to my soul! Weldone, my brother!! Journalism will never forget you 👍👍👍
If that is the standard by which judicial review is implemented all cases in Nigeria would indefinite. Dele is not the first to suggest corruption in the judicial process, he is however the first to name individuals in a near malicious manner.
@@olukaayodeleYou are here again! At least, you are civil today unlike in other comments you belittle people. If there is a need, his cases should be reviewed. With clear conscience, no one should be worried about review. It is just like someone asking to review exam scripts you marked at CPUT, would you be bothered about it?
Ruben Abati is a very condescending man. He’s always mentioning vulganizers, mechanic etc as illiterates who should only been seen and not heard. AriseTV should caution him. He should be told that every human being has a voice and an opinion, whether educated or not.
Don't mind this ugly egomaniac personality. He and Nduka obaigbena the owner of Arise media group and Thisday started journalism same time oo. He has been working for people his whole life never established anything.
Because this is a case regarding defamation in PRINT, common sense and common law means that the alleged defamatory article be withdrawn whilst the matter is being thrashed out. Sometimes I wonder if you people think before typing. If I am in an ownership dispute regarding a parcel of land with someone and the matter is in court, yet I want to continue selling smaller parcels out of the land in dispute, the other party would be extremely stupid not to file to halt further sale of the land whilst the matter is in court. Make una dey think na.
@@goz-s8fThank you so much for your submission.

You mean the same Rufai that was supporting defamation Femi Falana charged against VDM now condemning same defamation against Dele Farotimi because the man is LP member.
I'm convinced without doubt that Dele won't be that stupid writing such a damning book on personality like Afe Babalola without having a solid evidence being a lawyer too
I sure hope he has solid evidence that is valid and can be presented without it he may be looking at major financial damage and possibly 6 months in jail. He is looking at more than 4 cases of malicious defamation with 3-4 other individuals, beyond Are Babalola who is just one of the several people directly named and accused of corruption.
The fear is whether the judiciary would do Dele the usual Nigerian way. Seeing the judiciary manifest in 2023 in the elections cases, one would think twice to put trust in them.
Afe Babalola got it back in his own coin. He defamed my character without stronge evidence once upon a time. Dele pepe him more. Wikileaks thank you for bringing out the facts of yesteryears. If for anything the so called enviable character is partly based on corruption. O. Elede
AS Lawyers, we respect & regard age & seniority.... That does not make elders infallible. As a matter of fact, under the English jurisdiction, we all wear wigs that pressupose " sey" WE ALL GET WISDOM the age not withstanding
IN MY ENTIRE LIFE,IVE NEVER USED MY HARD EARNED MONEY TO BUY ANY BOOK,AS A MATTER FACT,I DONT EVEN RECIVE BOOKS AS A GIFT,EVEN FOR FREE..BUT TODAY..OUT OF NOTHING,I USED MY HARDEARNED MONEY THATS NOT EVEN ENOUGH FOR ME TO FEED TO BUY 10 COPIES OF DELE FAROTIMI's BOOK..ILL SHARE 9COPIES TO SO VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE AS A CHRITMAS GIFT BECAISE I KNOW THE BOOK WOULD BE WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY BOOK IN THE COUNTRY NAMED NIGERIA
@Aro_Gidigba i dont care if he's got my money,like I said..I've never in my life used my money to buy any book..so if I'm buying this..the content in it would worth a million to me..not about the money but the Value.
It's only in Nigeria that you say or talk forgiveness but if its Europe USA or other western world this case must go to court and judgement must happen
People keep talking skeleton in the cupboard, was babalola begging dele to settle? He's insisting that dele should come and prove. I will luv him to provide his evidence
Dele can not write this book without having credible and tangible evidence to back up the contents of the book. I just feel for Afe who is indirectly affirming to the matter on ground
He has NO evidence. I am an intellectual who leaves my life on facts and sincerity. Dele Farotimi made a lot of mistakes. As a learner in the field. Most of what Dele Farotimi were defamation.
@HassanTaiwo-r7r you're coming from a biased point of view, I can't report you to police for defamation and you're locked up like a common criminal. Dele is already serving a jail sentence for a matter that isn't even tried. We sometimes throw away reason bcos of our biased positions
Some of these judges are making a fool of themselves. How can they enforce the law in withdrawing those books? Those books that are already everywhere. I'm just laughing at them.
We have professors who are more learned than him. That are doctors before him. He's so disrespectful and getting worse by the day. He has always had an attitude of superiority and a big snub.
Some of us do not pray they find peace out of court. We ( Nigerians) want the TRUTH to prevail The two have their names to protect or messed up and their fans want to know better if they should continue to queued at the back of their hero or zero
If Dele offered any rebuttal or apology to Afe Babalola without providing evidence of his allegations against Afe Babalola, Dele will remain a coward forever.
DELE FAROTIMI didn't send anyone to go and mend his fence for him. He is able and capable of mending his fence himself. How is it possible to retrieve a book that the world already had some copies in their houses 🏘 😳?
Law is a difficult discipline and profession to practice. One plus one isn't two. That's why I don't like it. That's why Lawyers are usually on the fence in matters and you can't see them being on the straight line. They talk and move like the biblical goats not like the sheep. Just a confused lot in Nigeria. That's why "and" regarding winning 25% of FCT Abuja was an issue during the 2023 presidential election. I'm an exact science professional believing that one plus one is two everywhere in the world.
Abati !!! Cleverly showing that Dele Farotimi is in very hot soup. Dele will be jumping from Ekiti, Ibadan, Abuja and yet to know other locations. Welcome journey man Dele Farotimi. 😅😅
If truly Dele Farotimi has evidence he should NOT settle out of court. Please present your evidence. People like us who leave on facts want to know the truth and for future purposes.
Peter Obi inervened? What did he do or say? People go just de talk anyhow. Let Afe Babalola do his worst. He shouldnt pretend that he was begged to drop the issue
Dr Abati knows the lawyer was saying the truth on the matter from the point of law. He listened and allowed him to educate people on the matter unlike Rufai claiming to know more of legal matters. His (Rufai) capacity is still being questioned as a professional journalist he claimed to be and now he has become an accidental lawyer or judge.😅😅😅😅😅
There's a saying that it is wrong for someone to be a judge in their own case. But here is a classic example of that saying only that in this case, it is the judiciary that is on trial; which seriously begs the question: who gets to decide a matter in which the judiciary itself is involved? The intervention by Peter Obi and other well-meaning Nigerians to settle this impasse is not just welcome but also timely. But no one should expect Mr. Farotimi to come cowering before his adversaries because they have the backing of a corrupt judicial establishment. No matter how long the corrupt forces of oppression seek to trouble and antagonize Mr. Farotimi, more and more people are getting to know the truth, and that truth sides with him.
Baba Afe Babalola should never under any circumstances withdraw the case. Dele Farotimi must go to court to prove his case in court. No nonsense approach is what we want.
That's if there is a court ? Seeing what they did in 2023 election.? Nigeria court will turn blue to red . Can you trust Nigeria judiciary? They will deny all Deles evidences and nothing will happen.
Rufai has taken the social media position as usual. Afe Babalola has done what he is supposed to do in this circumstance, and he is not the one calling for negotiations at this time.
No way…. All we need is mr dele saying contribute money to carry on the case that he is willing to stay in their custody. As for the case money we will sustain it to finish
You don't put all weapons in one single fight. What if you run out of artillery? What would you do with another attack coming from another direction? Dele need to be careful in fighting with the possibility of running out of weapons.
Rufai, I think that Liborous is making big sense in the case of ex parte. The order is necessary because, without it, it would seem as if Afe Babalola'a right is also jeopardized. Remember that Dele's claim has not been confirmed as true. So Babalola could also pray the court to grant the ex parte to stop the book sale and save his integrity wrongly tarnished by Dele.
I have an assignment for Arise tv. Pls, send Rufai on an undercover mission (wearing mask and wig) to unbundle the corruption in our judiciary system 😊😁
These questions are pedestrian because Wikileaks and the Northerner Yani or so concerning China oil theft and NNPC have corroborated Dele’s allegations! Why are the main media not addressing those allegations. Why would Babalola focus on Dele??
The lack of confidence by Nigerians in the judiciary is already an indicted therefore corruption is gravely wrapped up in the Nigeria's judiciary. Let the law if any, take its full course. Denying Dele bail is a part of the corruption in the Nigerian judicial system. Dele isn't afraid of the system and the big masquerade in the room; which was why he wrote his book after 11 years. Nobody should be afraid of Dele's abilities to defend himself in Courts, notwithstanding the corruption in our judicial system.
The crux of the matter is that with the notoriety of our judges, evidence from Dele Farotimi, no matter how clear it may be, will most likely be dismissed.
You are wrong Liborus, cuff is within the discretion of the officer. The officer use his discretion when for their own safety and the safety of the man in their custody. Handcuffs doesn't mean the man is guilty
Wise people are trying to beg for DF, the Netizen street urchins like Rufai and co are still egging him on. This will only lead to more wahala for the guy
Ogunwumiju is a baby that they placed a heavy load on his head. He started his career on a very bad footing. He will never go far in Jesus name. God Himself will stop him violently.
Why is Abati always talking like a fool! Even a school boy knows that the other lawyers he mentioned who also instituted action against Frotimi are mere stooges acting under the banner of Afe Babalola simply to cause more trouble for Farotimi. Otherwise, where were they when the book came out and what stopped them taking legal action until Babalola started his so-called defamation case. He only has to call back his stooges home and that's the end of their spurious cases.
Dont know why you people are asking for mediation to make it look like they are begging Afe Babalola. If he disagreed with Dele, let him proceed to a competent court, the proper way and have his day! They should not keep using state apparatus to frustrate the issues he raised. They are only validating his allegations. Dele Farotimi would not have written that book without a proof! He is not a novice. So please!
@Ruben being a lawyer or journalist does not give you reason to run down other professions; calling vulganizers or mechanics. Where's room for right of speech?
What Dr. Abati fails to understand is that the court of public opinion becomes law over time in a society where votes count. Our elites don’t get it because they are either privileged or corrupt. Opinions become law in a true democracy because voters vote in people that align with their views. In Nigeria our opinions don’t matter because our votes don’t count. We still pay bribe in all police stations in Nigeria to effect bail. As a voter I don’t want defamation or peaceful protest to be criminalized. These are all issues I will vote for if I find a politician that will do the right things. Until that revolution happens like it did in Syria the elite will continue to take us for granted and our cry for change called ordinary opinions. American politicians made the same mistake until voters threw reason out the window to vote a crazy man they trust would listen. I just pray that revolution does not come in the form of a military coup.
The court of public opinion doesn't become law in the sense you are making it. Whenever we are talking niche or speciality issues you can trust people to bring Corruption into the matter. When arguments cannot be had with intellect or fact folk bring in corruption to raise emotions and try sway the entire thing their way. BTW If the court of public opinion were so effective I think gun control laws would be passes uniformly today. The legal system is not run by, taught by, populated by lay mean. What you think makes commonsense doesn't every time translate to LAW Sense. The court of public opinion is populated majorly by people of average to limited intellect. They don't know the laws, the loopholes in the laws, they think justice means FAIRNESS but it doesn't. You think because 98% of this comment section is with Mr DF means the law should be subverted for him? Or the argument that popular opinion should be law, it premises on the opinion that most people will think like you. You'd likely end up with 10 million opinions on one issue because we don't all think alike.
I have long said Laborous is a politician and is conversations have been mostly misleading but, luckily Rufia put him in check. You are a lawyer so say the law and leave the sentiments. Stops dancing around issues give legal perspectives and let the public judge or give your view after the clarification. Anyway, Rufia stopped you from talking from both sides of your mouth
Mr. Rufai.
You never disappoint in your assertion.
You always speak my position, as though you have a direct mirror to my soul!

Afe Babalola is not worth the respect we give him in this country. It is clear now that he is not what we believe he is.

These questions are pedestrian because Wikileaks and the Northerner Yani or so concerning China oil theft and NNPC have corroborated Dele’s allegations! Why are the main media not addressing those allegations. Why would Babalola focus on Dele??
All these grammar and cases here and there are only to oppress Dele Farotimi. We all know that all he said were nothing but truths..
The lack of confidence by Nigerians in the judiciary is already an indicted therefore corruption is gravely wrapped up in the Nigeria's judiciary.
Let the law if any, take its full course.
Denying Dele bail is a part of the corruption in the Nigerian judicial system.
Dele isn't afraid of the system and the big masquerade in the room; which was why he wrote his book after 11 years.
Nobody should be afraid of Dele's abilities to defend himself in Courts, notwithstanding the corruption in our judicial system.
The crux of the matter is that with the notoriety of our judges, evidence from Dele Farotimi, no matter how clear it may be, will most likely be dismissed.
Let the Law takes its Cause
Let him take Wikileaks to court too.
There are no heroes in Nigeria governance structure
You are wrong Liborus, cuff is within the discretion of the officer. The officer use his discretion when for their own safety and the safety of the man in their custody. Handcuffs doesn't mean the man is guilty
WHAT ABOUT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION?
How can i get this book?
I am looking for the book too
Wise people are trying to beg for DF, the Netizen street urchins like Rufai and co are still egging him on. This will only lead to more wahala for the guy
Ogunwumiju is a baby that they placed a heavy load on his head. He started his career on a very bad footing. He will never go far in Jesus name. God Himself will stop him violently.
All these motions Oshoma is talking about, does it happen in Nigeria?
Why is Abati always talking like a fool! Even a school boy knows that the other lawyers he mentioned who also instituted action against Frotimi are mere stooges acting under the banner of Afe Babalola simply to cause more trouble for Farotimi. Otherwise, where were they when the book came out and what stopped them taking legal action until Babalola started his so-called defamation case. He only has to call back his stooges home and that's the end of their spurious cases.
Oshoma is not a human rights activist
Don’t mind him
It's like every Lawyer has added 'activist' to their title😂
@@olukaayodele Oshoma is anywhere belle face
Bar Liborous please is this at law or about truth
Book was published in July 2024 … were they sleeping??
Dont know why you people are asking for mediation to make it look like they are begging Afe Babalola. If he disagreed with Dele, let him proceed to a competent court, the proper way and have his day! They should not keep using state apparatus to frustrate the issues he raised. They are only validating his allegations. Dele Farotimi would not have written that book without a proof! He is not a novice. So please!
@Ruben being a lawyer or journalist does not give you reason to run down other professions; calling vulganizers or mechanics. Where's room for right of speech?
What Dr. Abati fails to understand is that the court of public opinion becomes law over time in a society where votes count. Our elites don’t get it because they are either privileged or corrupt. Opinions become law in a true democracy because voters vote in people that align with their views. In Nigeria our opinions don’t matter because our votes don’t count. We still pay bribe in all police stations in Nigeria to effect bail. As a voter I don’t want defamation or peaceful protest to be criminalized. These are all issues I will vote for if I find a politician that will do the right things. Until that revolution happens like it did in Syria the elite will continue to take us for granted and our cry for change called ordinary opinions. American politicians made the same mistake until voters threw reason out the window to vote a crazy man they trust would listen. I just pray that revolution does not come in the form of a military coup.
The court of public opinion doesn't become law in the sense you are making it. Whenever we are talking niche or speciality issues you can trust people to bring Corruption into the matter. When arguments cannot be had with intellect or fact folk bring in corruption to raise emotions and try sway the entire thing their way.
BTW If the court of public opinion were so effective I think gun control laws would be passes uniformly today. The legal system is not run by, taught by, populated by lay mean. What you think makes commonsense doesn't every time translate to LAW Sense.
The court of public opinion is populated majorly by people of average to limited intellect. They don't know the laws, the loopholes in the laws, they think justice means FAIRNESS but it doesn't.
You think because 98% of this comment section is with Mr DF means the law should be subverted for him?
Or the argument that popular opinion should be law, it premises on the opinion that most people will think like you. You'd likely end up with 10 million opinions on one issue because we don't all think alike.
If it's Abati, l am not watching. Very biased human being.
Rufai do not realy know how things works because to him everything should be by emotion and personal opinion.
Hahaha hahaha hahaha our elders in office may God almighty help us all
😮
Dr.. Abati can u at least shvt up and allow Mr. Liborous 2 speak pls
IS THIS LAWYER NOT A 'COWARD' DEFENDING 'THE OPPRESSOR' AFE BABALOLA?????
I have long said Laborous is a politician and is conversations have been mostly misleading but, luckily Rufia put him in check. You are a lawyer so say the law and leave the sentiments. Stops dancing around issues give legal perspectives and let the public judge or give your view after the clarification. Anyway, Rufia stopped you from talking from both sides of your mouth
Why are you guys acting like Dele lost a case .?why must they lock him without judgement. Failed system
If Dele Apologies....then he is a fool
Rufai won't cease to be an idiot. See the way he's reasoning. Laughable!
Nobody is talking about the truth
