Nigerian lawyers react to Gani’s death

A rare gem is gone,I wonder who on earth will take the place of this genius.I can't stop crying but I had to,because death is inevitable.I pray fro the repose of his soul.

Mr. Gani we love u but God love u most, u can never be forgoting in the memory of we Nigeria for ur hard working and fighting for the human right.

Gani Fawehinmi represents integrity, never had a prize like others. He will never be forgotten just like that. He publications and fight for human freedom is a well deserved fight ever fought. His dreams will forever remain. "Mouth of the Masses" the struggle...may your fighting spirit rest in peace of the Lord.

the entire Nigerian masses and the downtrodden will truly miss Fawehinmi,the voice to the voiceless! Adieu The Senior Advocate of the Masses.

GANI LIVES FOREVER IN D HEART OF US.HE FOUGHT TO FREE NIGERIAN FROM D MILITARY & SELFISH POLITICIAN. I MET HIM LAST IN 1995(LASU THEN I LEARNT HOW TO BE SELFLESS.EVEN HIS ENEMY KNOWS GANI WAS A GOOD MAN

A mighty has fallen...what a loss...may your soul rest in perfect peace.

May you rest in perfect peace...its a great Loss...I remember the good old days that he spoke for the poor,that he Fought for the oppressed..oh its indeed a great loss..R.I.P

Adieu oh fallen hero. Till his demise, Gani was my hero.He confronted the hydraheaded monsters in power and spoke the resounding TRUTH.

I am short of words. I am divided between mourning or rejoicing. We have to rejoice because we are lucky that at last Nigerians have got a standard in morality, patriotism, self confidence and fealessness set by Gani throughout his lifetime to follow. I am mourning because the voice of wisdom, courage and truth is gone. A Great man have fallen. But this corrupt government or system should not rejoice. Gani had sown seeds in some Nigerians who will carry on his works. Instead of one Gani, his death will cause more Ganilike personaliteis to germinate from the seed he had sown. May Gani's strong, fighting but masses loving soul rest in peace.

Gani worked and suffered for the down trodden whom the Nigerian Politicians wish to extinguish. The decay and corruption that have eaten the fabrics of this nation was his greatest concern and therefore the POOR. O' God who will fight for the majority that are the minority. May his soul rest in peace.

Gani Fawehimi,SAN was a dogged fighter who fought the battle of human right for over 2 decades in the Nigerian history without candour and intrepidity,a man with a tremendous intellectual sophistory...for me its one but just too many loss as an inspiration to my been in the legal practice..ADIEU Chief Gani Fawehinmi LLD,SAM,(SAN).

Gani fawehinmi was a brave and uncommon man.Nigeria would miss him.He remains in the heart of every Nigerian.RIP

Thanks be to God for the life of a man who showed us that you can be a great man,helpful to your society without stealing public funds.By many standards,he was a very rare example to us.i pray that God will give us more like him.sleep well Gani.

My Chief, we know u are not dead. How can u die when ur spirit lives on through ur writings, struggles and sacrifices. U died fighting against oppression and injustice. I want to assure you that what u fought for with the instrument of the law will be achieved fully with a bloody revolution. You died honorably but most of these vampires will die shamefully that I want to assure u. Your death has emboldened us. Adieu my role model. May ur soul rest in perfect peace.

it's a pity that Nigeria has lost a great man like him.many of our leaders did not heed his voice while he was wit us.i pray that we'll all listen carefully now to the voices from beyond.i also believe that more good nigerians will come in his place.

IS A VERY STRONG ADVICE TO THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS NOT TO ATTEND THE FUNERAL BECAUSE I BELIEVE HIS TRUTH SPIRIT WILL ATTACK YOU.JUSTICE HE FOUGHT FOR BUT YOU KILLED IT BY LACK OF GOOD HEALTH SET UP IN NIGERIA.WE NEED REVOLUTION IN NIGERIA 'AM READY TO CARRY GUN WHEN IT STARTS THAT WILL BE OPERATION TUNDER GROUND.

Gani's death sure marks the end of a legal generation. i hope someone can step into the very big shoes he left behind. Gani, you died in this holy month of Ramadhan. You sure will make it to Al-janah. RIP.

I love this man,but God loves him most..........RIP

Nigerian legal profession has lost a great legal mind, a man who was denied a lot because of his fight to ensure an egaliterian society. NBA should immortalise him.

Chief Gani Fawenhinmi, a defender of the downtrodden maeses, revolutionary firebrand, conscience of the nation, fire eating lawyer, champion of human right , thorn in the flesh of dictatorship, Gani life was a shining example to many Nigerians; his Ideas, Policies and philosophy gave life to many dying and lugubrious souls including the writer in terms of education, activism and knowledge. Five scores after his birth and a score and two years after his demise, the spirit of Chief Awolowo is still haunting the nation. “Gani” as the late sage and folk hero was and is still fondly called was Unique in several ways. Gani was a special breed in the annals of Nigeria’s history .He was highly determined and vigorous. He was a human dynamo, a colossus , a titan, scholar,Human rights activist, debater etc . He had a lot of friends and enemies because of his political cum economic theory. He never entertained any form of mediocrity. During his sojourned on the 3rd planet earth, he refused to have anything to do with indifferentism, apathy and anti-intellectualism. He belongs to the high intellectually class people. In Nigeria political spectrum, Gani bestirred the entire milieu like an octopus. Indeed Gani was in his element when spoken about democracy, its institution and democratic processes. Surely, Gani is like human right, you can look critically at his whole life from many perspectives and various angles, including political, social, economic or business, spiritual or metaphysical as well as intellectual or academic, legal, moral, ethical e.t.c. Gani was self made, He prized education, knowledge, scholarship and excellence above materialism and hedonism. Furthermore, fighting for truth, justice, equity and egalitarianism is a basic part Gani natural chemistry and personality. Truly, Gani was a revolutionary firebrand, a fire eating advocate of truth. A man who believed in standing for what is right even if standing alone His responsibility to the state, his philosophy of life, his patriotism or nationalism, activism ,his duty as a family men and his profession as a lawyer and calling as a political activist, yes his duty to Allah and humanity and above all, everything about his corporate life, his vision about the black race in particular and homosapiens in general were all underlined by his ardent belief in Almighty Allah. Gani when he was named the Attorney General in military era, he rejected the offer. In 2008 Mr Gani Fawehinmi rejected one of the highest National honours that can be bestowed on a citizen by the Nigeria government—Order of the Federal Republic(OFR)—in protest of the many years of misrule since Nigeria's independence.He was founder of differnt NGO that organised revolution that led to the termination of military dictatorship in nigeria. He founded the National conscience party and resigned the presidency of the party voluntarily. Since his exit from the party, the party has refused to move forward. Gani will be sad now with the way Obayuwana led Ncp. Gani focused on the plebeians, Above all, he inspires trust. At time, when the search for true democracy is being threatened with extermination by military junta when the quest for messiah has become highly relevant, Gani made contribution stupendously. It is so unfortunate that The kleptocratic bourgeoisie, kleptomaniac, political vampires, economic saboteurs and flesh-eating-vultures did not allow Gani to be the landlord of presidential villa when he contested election in 2003 How I wish the sting of death can be pacify and mollify I would have taken an adventure into negotiating with the power of death for Gani to come back to life and criticise Oshiomhole for fumbling . That is why I am praying that God should raise somebody like chief Gani fawenhinmi to rule and elevate us from the generational oblivion, political quagmire, successive self centred leaders have consigned us to. Fawenhinmism is a philosophy and ideology which believes in the need to raise the consciousness of the masses, the need for enlightenment, and the need for social change which would give rise to progress. He stood for egalitarianism, social justice, and situation whereby the nation resources belong to all and sundry equally and should be used for the welfare of the people not to enrich the few powerful class. farewell Comrade Gani, may your gentle soul rest in peace.

Great Man Indeed

I felt bad when i had about it here in the states, now who will save my nation from fraudulent act of the leaders and the right of the entire citizens, Oh My GOD.

THE BEST HONOUR FOR GANI IS TO RESIST THE GATHERING FORCES OF EVIL THAT ARE FOSTERING FULANI SUPREMACY IN NIGERIA. For example, we must vehemently resist Sanusi's current attempt to steal the five banks from their rightful owners. If the rights of the rich could be so brazenly violated, then the poor have no poor in Nigeria. The Yar'Adua government is the most dangerous in the history of Nigeria as it's pursuing a secret agenda to foster Fulani Supremacy in our land. Hence, the time has come for Nigerians to stand up for their birthright and resist this fascist regime.

May his crusading soul rest in eternal bliss. He was not only a good fighter, but a good and powerful soldier till the end. Without doubts, his words, works and writings will not only live for now, but for years to come. He made history and through him history was made not only in the judicial field, but also in various fields; social, political, and rights just to mension a few. The rest is history. The wars are over now Gani, you have won and the Lord is King. Your Enemies have lost. Goodbye, till we all meet by the River.

May the good Lord rest your soul. You fought the villains to a standstill. Please be assured that there would be no rest for your foes, such as IBB and the looting gang! We will always remember you fondly as you strove to fight our corner for us. I pray Almighty Allah reward you with Al Jannah firdaous. Ameen.

I know he will contunue to fight for us where ever he is. He fought for the betterment of all nigerian,but the wicked government we have did not listing to him.All nigerian is with you were ever you may be.Goodbye.

With charm and knowledge Gani conducted himself in Court winning the admiration of both Bench and Bar. He was a gift to us from Above and his exit is irreplaceable. Whether in Court, in his luxurious car or at a Dinner table, Gani never referred to himself but talked about others and how he was determined to gain their freedom and add happiness to their lot.He had a generous heart in words followed by actions always trying to elevate the down-trodden,internationally he will be missed because he fought for the betterment of Non-Nigerians as well.Ican never forget his happiness whenever they had conversation with our friend Dele Giwa.I shall miss Gani as a friend. May Allah, comfort his family for a generous life well-spent.What a shining light in an oppressive World! Christine J.N. Kaluma,a Ugandan and Proud of being a member of the Nigerian Bar
