Babangida reacts to Gani’s death

Yes, he was a social engineer but waht are you? A destroyer!!!

he was a rare gem and a great loss to this nation........ we will forever be remembering him

TELL BABANGIDA TO SHUT UP HIS EVIL MOUTH....

I hope my countrymen and women will now learn a big lesson from Gani`s death. Gani was not listened to while alive, especially by the govenrnment officials that maltrated him for fighting for justice, now they are singing his praises. As one of Yoruba adages puts it: "Eniyan o dara laaye igba a ba ku landere"

a legend just passed away.....he will forever be remembered in our memories and that of Nigerias' history....baba lives on....R.I.P...Gani (the best human right activist).

For onece Babangida is telling the truth is this from his heart or from his mouth.I think he should beg for forgivness from Gani whos Spirit lives on.

Tell Babaginda that he's still the best head of state we ever had.....

General Babangida, Sir. Very well said, as usual. However, the record of what the military, especially your administration, did with Gani's advice, doesn't quite tally with your sugar-coated verbiage. I hope you will get to read the genuine outpouring of condolence and praise for Gani that is represented in the most copious commentary on a single individual that I have ever read in Next. Only the CBN Governor comes close, which should tell an intelligent man like you quite a lot. I have no doubt that even with the power of life and death you once wielded in this country, you would wish that your inevitable departure would rate even 1% of what Gani is now getting from the ordinary people of this country.

Babangida's views on Gani have always been consistent. That's because Babangida himself is a great leader. Well he made his mistakes like any other human. Many Nigerians who criticise their leaders would do worse given the same opportunity that the leader had.

I BELIEVE IN SOCIAL REFORMERS LIKE HIM. NIGERIA NEED ALOT OF HIS KIND. WE'LL SURELY MISS HIM.

Can I remind people like Sanya that this page is dedicated to the only one Gani Fawhemini of our time!Please do not use here eulogise people like Babangida, we know how people like you can use any opportunity to feed your pockets. You can go for a centre page advert for Babangida like you have done in the past. Let us mourn Gani in dignity please, he deserves it!

seems you still have some conscience left,i doubt if you ever sought his forgiveness while he was alive. i advise you sieze the oppurtunity of this holy month to seek for allah's forgiveness and do something good for the masses in Gani's name.may God help you.

In these days of very selfish leaders, Gani was truly one of the selfless heroes we had in Nigeria.He truly fought for the masses.It is amusing that Babangida in whose hands he suffered confesses to his admiration for Gani.

May the almghty grant him Aljannah. Great Gani will be smiling and saying you jerk IBB i sure gave you a tough time.

I don't quite understand why IBB thinks that he is a sharp man,I thought he IBB was civilized but looking back at his 8yrs of rule,it seems to me most strange that Babangida could still raise his head considering the state of affairs we have found ourselves because of people like him.Gani was bigger than all of you past military leaders put together.His name will outlive all of you whilst IBB (the man that made Nigeria to sin) will also remembered for his own deeds.Oneday,the descendants of people like you IBB and OBJ will be too ashamed to be associated with you,I gurantee you this.Shame on you,long live Nigeria,Gani we will miss you,rest in peace,you did yout bit.

This is a great loss to our country. I believe Babangida is saying the truth

RIP Gani, governments come and go but the will of the people remains. The people will still be speaking well of you in centuries to come but I cannot say the same for the heads of states you battled with. Sleep on, Sleep well. We will carry on the fight!

well said IBB and may his soul rest in peace. Amen

What a time for a Muslim to die!In the month of Ramadan, when the gates of Paradise are open. Gani, yours was a life well spent, opprtunities utilized. We'll miss you, but we shall not cry for you, because you wouldn't want us to. Rest in perfect peace.

BABANGIDA HAD LOTS OF FAULTS BUT WAS HE NOT BETTER THAN THIS NON ACTIVE PRESIDENT WE HAVE?

It is quite a sad event for the country and the masses in general. He has really fought for the interest of the Nigerian masses. He will be strongly remembered. May his soul rest in peace. I will like to call on the human right activist in this country to emulate the late sage.

9ja has lost one of the Intelligent sons, his name and deeds will never be forgotten, GANI u'll live forever.. As for BABANGIDA, GOD almighty will Judge u @ the right time.

IBB, SO YOU KNEW ALL THIS FACT AND TRUTH ABOUT GANI BEFORE DETAINING THE DEFENDER OF MASSES AND RIGHTS. ADIEU GANI FAWEHINMI..LETS ALL CONTINUE FROM WHERE HE STOPPED.MAY HIS GOOD SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE.ALUTA CONTINUE..BAYOWA GBENGA ADEWUSI

pls don't blame IBB sometimes we don't value what we have until we loose it.,R.I.P Gani Fawehinmi.

WHY MOURN HIM, HE'S OFF AGE, LED A BELIEVEING LIFE, EVEN HIS OPPOSITORS SAYS SO.His Honorable GF IS ABOVE THE AGE ADORED IN THE BIBLE SO WE SHOULD BE CELEBRATING HIM. May his soul rest in peace. Pls don't turn his death into political pandemoneum, respect his proffession and what he stood for when he was alive.

So this guy Ibrahim Babangida is still alive? Ask him Lung Cancer killed Gani Fawehinmi but who killed Dele Giwa?

WE ENJOIN ALL TO COMMEND A NON TRIBAL CRITIC ,HIS LIFE IS WORHTY OF PRAISE THER ARE NOT MANY OF THESE GREAT MEN LEFT ,FOR THOSE OF US LEFT LET US REFLECT AND DO WHAT IS GOOD FOR ALL,WOLANIO BAWA SUNRE O

We lost a great man again! Tell I B B to seek for forgiveness expecially in this month of Ramadan. He was a millitaryman then nevertheless he should.... may God forgive us all. May his soul rest in perfect peace

we truly lost a legend but is legacy shall always leave on... thank you sanya for your statement.. like they will always say .."u do not kn a man on till he as money & power" Ur Excellency, it take courage to let go

Why is that we Nigerians only appreciates people's effort after death . Can't we learn from the mistakes of the past. Now GANI is being eulogized as a Good and fearless man after his death . Mr IBB and OBJ what will the people of Nigeria and the World say about you after your demise . Remember for every event in life , history is certain to be recorded . We should all strive to leave behind a legacy that can be emulated by our unborn generations. Adieu GANI, you will be remembered for your struggle for humanity.You have done your best . May your soul which you have used undauntedly for the betterment of the masses now rest in perfect peace. The big question we should all ask ourselves now is 'CAN WE EVER AND EVER HAVE ANOTHER GANI WHO HAVE REFUSED TO BE BOUGHT OVER' . LETS ALL THINK TWICE AND JOIN HANDS TOGETHER AND MOVE NIGERIA FORWARD .

Looking at the political, financial and social issues facing Nigeria today, how do people like IBB manage to have a sound sleep in that mountain top villa? Gani fought endlessly to rid our society of animals like IBB with his consortium of failed ministers leading a failed nation under his direction. Barawo Bansa!!! Adieu Gani!!!

The value of one like Gani was that he attempted to strip us of our pretences - those lies our society tells us and itself in the name of governance. God bless him.

IBB This time you spoke frankly. I am among your admirers despite your complex characteristics. however i think you are getting more matured about nature and the futility of being here. many people think you are still the maradona but u seem to have left that attribute in search of reality. keep getting better. for Gani his name has become an idealogy--justice and fair play. ADIEU

Ina Lilahi Wa ina Ilehi Rajehun. Its from Allah we come to Him we return........... Chief Gani Fawehinmi, We will all miss you. R.I.P

IBB should use this moment to reflect on how far he has come,what his doing and what it will be the day he go to where Gani has gone.

With the death of Gani the nation has lost a true patriot. It is difficult to describe Gani. He was honest, fortright, disciplined, fearless, and resolute. But above all, he was a die-hard Nigerian even though her leaders treated him with insults and incarceration. It will be difficult to find another Gani. The human rights community will sorely miss him. May God rest your noble soul, Gani. Your persecutors can no longer hound you - after all, there is no Kiri-Kiri or Kuje in heaven.

It is the likes of Obasanjo and Babaginda that killed Gani with their tear gas; He fought all his life for the restoration of true democracy in Nigeria. He saw a vision of Nigeria where everyone would afford the basic necessity of life, where everyone will all be equal before the Law. One then wonders if Nigeria really what fighting for. Babaginda should just keep his mouth shut! Rest in Peace Chief

One of the best things that ever happened to our country Nigeria is to have had a person like Gani....For now he´s no more....I just pray that the good Lord would give us all,especially his immediate family the fortitude to bear the lose.

If IBB can said this about GANI , i wondered where his conscience was when he was dealing with him .Rest in peace GANI FAWEHINMI .

There goeth a Gani when cometh another.

Chief Gani was a Legal Icon that worked tirelessly for the masses.The inevitable death had come to take away our beloved one just like that.May Almighty God grant you eternal rest.Continue to rest in the bossom of the Lord till we meet to part no more.

Chief Fawehinmi was the people's man.He will be greatly missed,by his death a great voice of the people is sadly silenced.May he find rest in the world beyond.

He serve humanity affected his generation for good it is e leason for all Nigerian to live a life of sefless service. I pray for the family that God will stand by them

Its so sad that nobody can be more intelligent than death,its a price we all have to pay.Gani is one individual that is rare in our generation,i wonder if there could be another like him,He stands out among multitude.RIP.

MY MENTOR.............HAS LEFT ME.............RIP ........

Gani has played his part. The rest is history now. No doubt his deeds will speak for him forever. Let IBB reflect on this and what his (IBB) deeds will speak about him when he steps on the shoe Gani wore today. So also, Obasanjo, Yar’dua, Members of Election Tribunal in Ekiti Rerun Election and Segun Oni of Ekiti State. May Allah grant Gani Aljanah, amin.

Babangida is not great leader; he asserted himself in such fashion because of the advantage he holds over Late Gani at the Supreme Court. He only respected Gani because he, Babangida, was never serious with the leadership of the country. Gani saw this!

HOW MANY OF YOU VOTED FOR GANI TO BECOME PRESIDENT..WHEN HE CONTESTED? YEYE PEOPLE

IBB, you wont take anything with you, you are getting old, try to find a way of putting part of what you stole back to society. ... we wont remember you like Gani, thats for sure

May his soul rest in peace he was a great man and will be surely missed .

Pa GANI FAWEHINMI ADIEU,EVEN ALIVED OR DEPARTED I STILL RESPECT YOU .GREAT PA AWOLOWO,PA AJASIN,Pa FELA ANIKULAPO.IF NIGERIA GOVERNMENT CANNOT IMMORTALISED YOU I WILL SHURLY GREAT A PEACEFUL CORNER IN MY HOUSE WHERE I WILL PUT YOU PICTURE SO AS MY CHILDREN WILL SEE,I MISSED YOU PAPA.BUT IF YOU SEE ANY OF THOSE THAT SPOILED NIGERIA DON'T HESITATE TO BEAT THEM UP WITH THE HOLY MICHAEL SWORD.GOOD NIGHT BABA RERE.

its good IBB is reflecting on his past,maybe its time to say sorry to all Nigerians and ask Allah for forginess of his wrongdoings

ANOTHER GREAT MAN HAS GONE.ANOTHER KENNEDY HAS GONE.ANOTHER SAVIOR OF THE MASSES HAS GONE.ANOTHER ANGEL HAS GONE.ANOTHER LION HAS GONE.PAPA GANI REST IN PEACE EAT WHATEVER IS AVAILABLE.THE GREAT DIED AND THE ATMOSPHERE CHANGE,THE WEATHER CHANGED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.GREAT GEM.

Both Gani and IBB are great leaders of this country in their own rights. IBB made the most significant impact on the lives of Nigerians who lived while he was ruling. Gani on the other hand apealed to the intellectuals and helped to put the governments in to perspective. "Be careful oh! everyone in the country is not a fool" However I can't remember my mother at home knowing who Gani was and what he represented. But IBB is mentioned by even children, literate and illiterate Nigerian. Good bye uncle Gani. Wishing joyful awakening to joyful activity in the beyond. Please only fight for what will direct your gaze to the longed for goal - getting back to paradise as a conscious being to the glory of HE who gives life. We who call ourselves literate will miss you. I can't talk for the others. Adieu Gani. Please dont accept any RIP wish, for man does not die, and only a soul that rests is dead. Joyful activity is inherent in every living soul.

...why cricify IBB, aferall he is saying the truth either for once or not. If U were in his shoes U might have sold Nigeria... who can tell, thank GOD we still live in our country and IBB lives here with us. ERIN WO, nnkan ti won ba 'n je lorun ni k'o ba won je. REST IN PEACE GANI.

Now Gani Senior Advocate for the Masses (SAM) is in a place where no electoral reforms, ASSU strikes, human right or wrong, corruption, fraud, true democracy...would be relevant. He is known world wide as a person who fought for justice and freedom,who gave generously to the needy and spoke the truth no matter how bitter. Gani came and made himself relevant in the lives of the common people. He has gone to the great beyond and left us to continue the struggles. What will you be known/remembered for when we find ourselves where our dear Gani is now? Adieu Gani!

I wonder why people can not appreciate what we do when we were alive,in Gen.Babangida's comment he actually tell the truth about Gani, and his sudden death was a loss for him and everybody,go back to Gen. Babangida's comment.Gani Fawehinmi will always be remembered in the history of Nigeria,likewise Gen.Babangida's name can never be ignored.

Is a pitty in a place like this some people find it fit to insult our leaders. As for UNCLE GANI is a great lost to all nigerians may ALMIGHTY ALLAH reward him with AL-JANNAT and for the family we say may ALLAH give them the courage to bear the lost amin summa amin.

Tell Babangida to shut up is evil mouth,did just forgot that whenever Gani says anything during his regime he will look him up.

WHAT MORE DO WE EXPECT MARADONNA TO SAY, HE WILL ALSO SAY GOOD OF GANI EVEN AFTER DEALING WITH HIM WHILE HE WAS IN POWER. MY PRAYERS IS THAT GOD SHOULD STRENGTHEN THE LIKES OF FALANA TO CONTINUE WHERE GANI STOPPED

may God bless u i.b.b

may God bless u i.b.b

i think they did not know what they are doing but they did know,babangida said he says it as it is, but its a pity they didnt not to his advise when it lasted,our so call leaders are all evil,including ibb,obj and yar adua,its high time they learn their lesson from death and turn a good leaf,ma gba lesson lodo iku

IBB should have spoken the truth for once about Gani when he was alive. don't you think it's too late? well, May his soul rest in perfect peace. GANI LIVES ON!

Truly a dogged fighter as described by IBB...let us celebrate his passing not mourn...there are still more silent Ganis in Nigeria...

Are there people who can read between the lines on this forum? That the views of IBB were made public about Gani's death was to do one of many things. One was to provoke Nigerians to take action and not allow those who do not wish Nigeria well to dance on the grave of Gani the brave. I hope OBJ too will say something about Gani. The question is how to replenish the stock of fighters for the people. I mean those who did not use the struggle to seek for political posts. Not those who want to be governors and members of house of rep but people like Beko Kuti who died fighting, Tai Solarin who showed the way at all times, Bala Usman, who was man enough to speak up when others kept quiet......

Babangida's administration thinking of Gani before finalising national decisions is a great achivement that millions of nigerian are not aware of! Who knows may be Nigeria could have been given out to western world during Babangida's regime. Rest in Peace Gani. We pray Nigeria could get a thousand of you in every regime! Amen

the surprise is that u nitwits still consider a bunch of stupid and dumb miltary boys as ur leaders, how depressing

IBB, take careful note of what it means to live the good life and serve the less privileged. How will YOU be remembered?

What do you expect the Evil genius to say? Ignore him. Deep inside him he is elated that his nemesis is gone. As we mourn and grief the passing into glory of another courageous advocate of good governance and defender of the downtrodden, we should ponder Why are our brightest and best are dying and the inept and ruthless looters that have denied us quality health care are having undeserved longetivity? Adieu the relentless fighter. Gani is a rare gem and my prayer is that may Almighty Allah grants him eternal rest and give the family he left the fortitude to bear the pangs of this painful loss.

Yeah guys..whatever...as much as I deeply feel Nigeria has lost another of its rare gems, Babangida still remains..THE EVIL GENIUS...he may be faulted for his inadequacies, but his intellect breeds respect!!! Enough said. HE CARES LESS WHAT YOU SAY!!!By the way,how many of you guys play CHESS? then you will understand where I am coming from.

Hhmmm. Farewell to a great man. Though I continue to wonder why the country is in the state it is with all these great people we are blessed with Inc G Fawehinmi, W Soyinka, T Solarin, B Kuti and many others.

i came out in the rain and voted him as president even though he lost. am happy i did that. you will be remembered for your great deads.

IBB still plying your maradonna tricks, we dont need your sweet talks. Gani is from a good home and he behaved same, am sure Babangida's lineage is that of criminals, man that can defrauded a whole nation in that name of leadership, What will you be remembered for? SHAME ON YOU IBB. R.I.P Gani we shall miss you greatly.

To be frank, Babangida is the man.No matter what, he is the only present who laugh and smile. For Gani, May His soul rest in peace

What a lost to ordinary Nigerians. Time shall come where every bad ruler shall taste dead too. Things in Nigeria are getting ...............,may God bless the dead!!!

Countrymen, what a pity!! We have lost them all. Gani's exit is a final blow to true activism in Naija. An honorable man who had so much to loose but yet waged fearless war against injustice and corruption of military regimes and the last civilliam administration of Obasanjo. While Wole Soyinka is still around Gani's legal credentials exemplified him. All the Ransome Kutis were long gone and now Gani who was equal passionate about ordinary people is the latest of our collective national loss. Rest in perfect peace voice of truth

Ali Baba oh, I mean Babangida is full of hogswaddle! I wonder what Abacha would have said??? "I loved him" probably.

I PRAY FOR THE DAY BABANGIDA AND ALL WHO TURNED NIGERIA INTO WHAT IT IS TODAY WILL BE STONED TO DEATH!

Hmmmm! Medicine after death right? Learnt the killer cancer that even killed this great SAM & SAN of our time was contacted in one of your Prisons,so? Adieu,Baba Gani............Wonderin why the evil ones live longer than the good ones in life sef?

I PRAY FOR THE DAY BABANGIDA & ALL WHO VOWED THAT THIS COUNTRY WILL NOT MAKE PROGRESS WILL BE STONED TO DEAT.

Babangida his next to die...he destroy Nigerians and our beloved country,when he babangida himself dies he will never be remembered in any good way....

Thank the most high we all know what Gani lived and died for. Thank God we are happy to have lived at a time this great icon existed. Oga Babangida, all men will remebered for what they stood and fought for. What will people like you be remembered for even after having the rare chance of ruling this country?

TATA U MUST BE OUT OF UR MIND............

We nigerians are all hideous hypocrites. Look at all the adieu gani all over the place. When the guy contested for president, INEC said only 99,000 of us voted for him. When he calls Rallies, only student activists and oppurtunistic area boys show up. Now we are yapping our mouths saying adieu...if each one of us could live as he did..abiding by our professed ideals, gani would not be so lonely..

I hope Babangida and all other past leaders like him read what was written about Abacha when he died..that is typical Nigeria for you. Forever you'll live log in our memories..the only true SAN. Live on Gani

Gani still remains one of the best social critic and activities of our time. May GOD grant his soul eternal rest...

Judgment is mine saith the Lord. This is not the time to blame or point fingers but a time to mourn the demise of a great man and to also celebrate GANI who lived a life worthy of emulation. He was a mentor and a role model in a country devoid of such. He was a good man amongst the multitude. It is of great worry and concern though that whilst Nigeria is losing her best critically acclaimed leaders, new ones are yet to emerge. Thank God for Governor Fashola and the young progressives in Nigeria. GANI lives on in us...The Struggle Continues...AMANDLA (EMANCIPATION OF THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE AGAINST INJUSTICE AND INEQUALITY.

maradona ve started again......watchout on his words....because what ever statement that comes out of his mouth just note is the other way round...........my people take note of him. But God why taking the good ones ...leaving the bad ones. May Gani soul rest in perfect peace.

In the light of What Gani Stood for.... His inspirations lives after him...The Babangida advent as an administrator gave birth the spirit of corruption and abuse that lives till today.I respect his charisma and parole with words..but the ill thoughts behind it killed Nigeria...Nature visits our future generations with our current evils..Nature has only made him admit part of his stupidity and will make him admit more with time.Diplomacy does not change the truth...ADiEU GANI

THE EVIL GENIUS IS TALKING AGAIN..I PRAY YOU REPENT B4 YOU DIE...OR MY ADVICE TO YOU=THE MASSES WILL REJOICE WHEN YOU ARE GONE...BETTER FOR YOU TO REPENT AND WORK ON WHAT GANI STOOD FOR...

fatah kadiri i agree with you.... nigerians are all bunch of hypocities... we like singing priase when we lost an icon. it is said that"diamonds are worthless in the hands of those that doesnn't know the value"

REV.FR AJAYI SAID IT ALL"IGBA A BA KU LA AD'ERE".WHEN WILL NIGERIANS LEARN TO EXTOL A PERSON WHEN HE IS ALIVE ? AMONG THOSE PRAISING GANI TODAY ARE THOSE WHO FOUND HIM AN IRRITANT DURING HIS CRUSADING DAYS.THOSE WHO KEP ON DEMONISING OBJ TODAY WOULD SOON SING MOVING DIRGES WHEN HE LEAVES. MUST EVERY ICON REMAIN A SAINT AT DEATH ?

Although Gani is dead, but his image still lingers within. Gani is a defender of the masses, very fearless, he always stand by the truth, even in the most tyrannical regimes. Am happy the person of IBB has come to recognize the contribition of Gani in the advancement of Nigeria, both politically, legally and otherwise.Gani, Nigerians will miss you. May your gentle soul rest in peace Amen.

The fearless but fearsome man is gone. An enigma has left a nation, ironically in need of his rare qualities. Adieu Gani!

The death of Gani should be a lesson for us living. What will you be remembered for on your own day.Will you be remembered for stealing our national money or brutalising a fellow Nigerian? IBB and others should have a reflection on these.

Well, it is worthless, what a life! Gani is a great man, man that fight for democracy and kown where the shoe is pinched. Gani may ur soul rest in peffect peace. Amen

The most crucial and critical aspects of these stories is the surprises you bagged about life when mostly the desired ones that dies young and the most wicked ones becomes inmortal,sometimes this might make one has the doubt if the God we called upon is the same one or just a partial type.Inever had rhe intentions of offending most believers in this forum,but i had the impression that the Yoruba race and poor as a whole is becoming more or less Orphan.First it was Pa Obafemi Awolowo,then Chier M.K.O and now Gani fawehinmi,this made me recalled on one of Gov.Fashola's speech very recently and i quote"That his generation was brought up with the dictatorship,coup and counter coup and more or else with horse whip",yhps i would rather say it's the same in my generation too.By and large what is 71years old to just have abandonned life like that and whereas some wicked souls lives to clock 90 and more.May his humble souls rests in perfect peace and console the family he left behinde.

THE BEST HONOUR WE CAN GIVE GANI The REAL tribute we can ever pay to Gani Fawehinmi is to speak out against injustice in Nigeria. For example, we must vehemently resist Sanusi's current attempt to steal the five banks from their rightful owners and hand them over to his Fulani people. If the rights of the rich could be so brazenly violated, then the poor have no hope 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.

Gani , throughout his life as never used illegal means to achieve his aim, as described by Roscoe Pound that law should be a means of social engineering ,Gani as used the legal system to air out his grievance against the ruling autocratic cabal of his days like IBB. IBB you and Abacha should be held responsible for Gani,s death because it was the constant arrest which u evil men ordered that caused his cancer ailment.

I think IBB lacks the moral right to talk about Gani.

GANI WAS A FEARLESS SUPPORTER OF THE PEOPLE.MOST OF ALL, HE WAS SUPER CONSISTENT WITH HIS VIEWS ABOUT GOOD GOVERNANCE.A PASSIONATE VOICE FOR THE DOWNTRODDEN IS LOST.I HOPE NIGERIANS CAN EMULATE SOME OF GANI'S STERLING VALUES.MAY GOD KEEP THOSE HE LEFT BEHIND.

what else can one says about the SENIOR ADVOCATE OF THE MASSES,he lived for the masses and die for the masses ..........but you so call leader(s) is now left for you to do the right thing(s),because one day you will give account in the peoples court

Why didn't Babanginda extol the virtues of the icon until now? ?? He should have shut his trap!!!

IBB: Please get the facts right and straight; You never won any case against Gani. You only CONQUERED--- under the stinking judicial system in Nigeria of the time. Yes, a judicial system repeatedly condemned by the whole civilized world. Remember?

WHO MURDERED DELE GIWA?

IBB is one of main destroyers of the Nigerian economy,social,political,values,everything.You will never rest in peace.

my condolesence to all families and love ones of CHIEF GANI FAWEHINMI the father of all nigerians, we felt your impart when you were still alive, but GOD knew why he took you so soon, i pray that GOD will be with every members of his family.

'Inna Lillahi Wahina Illahin Rajiun' Late Gani has lived successful life. May the Almighty accepts him into the paradise, amen. The question now is: whose next?

I B B likes to listen to himself. In the same way he now speaks of Gani Fawehinmi, let him also own up to the evil he did to MKO Abiola. The day will come when nemesis will catch up with you IBB. It will not be long.

IBB should have realised that he cannot re-write history. Gani was famous despite not been in government. he was a legal icon, distinguished pro-democracy activist, renowned social crusader and the most revered friend of the Nigerian students and oppressed masses. It was on record that Gani had the highest number of detentions during IBB saga. When IBB was tactically schemed out of office, one of his notable remarks was that "Gani Fawehinmi was the most respected Nigerian critic and human right activist". At Gani's death again, despite all the antecedents of the 8-year maradonic rule of IBB which contributed to worsening of the state of health of Gani, it will be deceitful for IBB to try to play God to be a lover of Gani. Gani stood for human rights protection to the core. Gani was an unrepentant advocate for the emancipation and better living of the Nigerian masses.IBB is a hater of those qualities and he needs to be told of the non-relevance of his maradonic style as there is no field for any match he might be contemplating to be played against Nigerians. Gani, may your soul rest in perfect peace yet may your oppressors never know peace until Nigerian masses are loosened of the shackles on their necks.

Adieu Man of Honour..Gani was a great activist. May Almighty Allah grant him Al-Janah and May God lead us right in this Country (Amen).

Life surprises me and those of you with deep knowledge of life should assist my shallow understanding of life. IBB, I am told, still wants to rule Nigeria. The three men, MKO, Beko and Gani who could make it impossible for him are all dead. I am not sure Professor Wole Soyinka alone can stop IBB from becoming the next president of Nigeria if IBB chooses. Please keep this contribution somewhere should IBB win the elections and we the Nigerian people become slaves of the Minna Prince of the Niger once again. I am ready to live as a slave under IBB for another 8 years but I cannot predict what my actions will be should IBB win an election in Nigeria. What do you good people think? Why do the good ones die while those who plan to lord over us remain. I would not have minded IBB if he truly wants to transform Nigeria but from all indications he just wants better life for his children and the Queen while the rest of us enjoy the bitter life for rural dwellers. WHY, why? Why are we so blessed?

May the souls and spirits of ADC Bello, Dele Giwa, the military officers that lost their lives at the Ejigbo air disaster, the students that died during the anti SAP riots, the innocent passers-by who were killed during the riots, Mamman Vasa and his co-travellers, Gideon Okah and his friends, the abandoned families and children of ADC Bello and those that died during the ‘army arrangement’ between IBB and Sani Abacha continue to hunt you till death do you part.

Tell baba to learn to b like him

gani, i greet you even in death we will meet again, that much i know rip

may almight ALLAH grant Abd GANIY FAWEYINMI Alijanaa firdaus.The death of Gani is a leason to Babangida,obasanjo,inec chairman,IG of police and PDP,one day these people will meet ALLAH on the DAY of JUDGEMENT .

may his gentle soul rest in peace amen and may the good lord grant his sons,daughters, relatives and the whole of nigerians that feel concerned to bear this great lost. and to me his death is for us to learn and not to mourn much because it has been writing that it is appointed unto a man to die and.but to his own death that everybody are confessing how sincere he was when he was alive. i was exicited to the lenght BABAGINDA was confessing.if the person in power knew that you are fighting for the masses who else will not know the type of person you are again.MAY THE GOOD LORD REWARD HIM FOR HIS LABOUR IN JESUS NAME AMEN.WHAT A GREAT MAN,HE IS DEAD BUT HIS HANDWRITING IS ON THE WALL AND HIS FOOTPRINT IS ON THE GROUND. OH MY GOD, GIVE ME THE GRACE TO LIVE LIKE HIM.LAWYERS, GANI HAS LAY A MARK FOR YOU PEOPLES TO FOLLOW IF YOUR OWN IS NOT TO COMPROMISE ONES. BUT IN ALL HIS LIFE IS A GREAT CHALLENGE FOR ANYBODY THAT IS HUMAN MAY THE GOOD LORD OPEN THE EAR OF THOSE THAT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND PREVILEGE AND CONTINUE FROM WHERE GANI HAS STOP. IF YOU HAVE THE MIND LIKE HIM GOD WILL PROTECT YOU AS HE WAS PROTECTED ALL THISWHILE,GOD WILL EQUIP YOU IF YOU ARE READY TO FIGHT THE MASSES.

Babangida, this encomium is belated. this is a man you incarcerated severally,thereby weakening his health. you still remember Dele Giwa's death and the case he had with you in court. Dont just rejoice, if justice is not obtained here, definitely God will provide an equitable judgement.Gani stood for social justice. According to our mentor Karl Marx and i quote" the history of all hitherto existing society is that of class struggle and class is determined according to ownership of means of production". it is this same class struggle that he fought all his life. we will all remember him. so Babangida, dont rejoice, its not over until its over. just pray that you will not be disgraced before your death.

Chief Gani Fawehinmin the Senior Advocate of The Masses; Rest In Peace for you have done the best for your country and people. Ibrahim Babangida should keep his trap shut. We are not interested in whatever he has to say! Nigerians have gone way beyond the rascality of such persons he should revert to an in-depth reexamination of his person. After all he has been doing WHAT NEXT ??? Should be the question he should ask himself.

The message is clear, there is nothing that has a beginning that does not have an end. Gani left behind a good name which speaks volume, even in his absence. Thoase who hate him for his frankness cannot deny this in their subconscious neither can they speak ill of him in the open. How I wish our leaders can seat back and reflect as to what happens to their name if tomorrow they leave this world. Search your conscience. His death is more of a proverb which says 'life is transient'. Those who are running after worldly things, viz: rigging elections, killing and maiming innocent souls in order to occupy an elective post should seat back and think.

Mr Eba, be informed that one of IBB's favourite meals is eba with egusi soup, particularly when it is stepped down with some good liqour. I guess you'll make a good meal for IBB and his boys if and when he comes back.

Gani was everything we had that we did never for once value.He was a great fighter to the core, even in death. Adieu SAM.

Tell IBB to return all nja money he stole while in office before praise Gani who work hard for every kobo he had.

i dont think IBB and Gani were personal enemies. they only stood at different sides of the road to service. if not for the fear of what IBB could do to him, our dear Gani would have used protest to shut down this country to demand for the rights of the ordinary citizen. if not for the fear of what Gani could do , IBB would have remained in power tilll God knows when.

Gani was everything we had that we did never for once value.He was a great fighter to the core, even in death. Adieu SAM.

it is a shame that someone like IBB could raise his voice to say anything on the death of this colossus. May he find rest that that eluded him thru'the istrumentality of characters like IBB with his creators. Here lies Gani when comest another probably not in the next two centuries. For people like IBB, the day of reckonin' is at hand.

Rest In Peace Chief Gani Fawehinmi, to all Nigeria evil and looting leaders/ politicians, think of the day you die, what are we the masses going to write about you, your life on national newspapers, talk about on TV shows, is it the good works that you've done to fellow humanities, the good deeds which will out live your very own name, are Nigerians going to cry and mourned that a good fellow is gone, going to be missed by all due to the various ways he/she have a good impact in some one else life or will Nigerians going to start dancing, praising and thanking God openly on the street, celebrating the depart of good riddance to bad rubbish

MAY THE SOUL OF CHIEF GANI REST IN PEACE.4 IBB U DO NOT HAVE MORAL RIGHT TO MAKE ANY STATEMENT,SIMPLY BECOS U CONTRUBUTED TO THE CONCER,CHIFE GANI HAD,AS A RESULT OF THE CONSTANT ARREST DURING UR REGIME.....GANI LIVE ON,U ARE THE GREATEST

Its has when the death is cast no prayer nor witchery can prevent the rubicon.our best leader we never have,GANI,whatever what they say about you in good cant put weight more than what i know God has prepare for you. keep on going heaven sure for you. A GREAT SAGE GOOD NIGHT,continue to dwell on the bossom of your lord.ADIEU PAPA FAWEHINMI.

I am fully sorry Gani's death may the lord comtinue to strenthen his family and loved ones.

Oh God, you press people are funny. What else do you expect Babangida to say? He cant say he is happy about his death. Why do you continue to make Babangida feel so important as if without him Nigeria will not work.Let us mourn The Massess President and leave the evil man out of it. If he thinks so well of him why did he keep in imprisoning the man when he was in power. Let him just shut up his mo He helped to give him lung cancer because of the several imprisonment in

We have just lost a real gem. Gani stood for justice and fair play, his name will never be forgotten in the History of Nigeria

We have just lost a real gem. Gani stood for justice and fair play, his name will never be forgotten in the History of Nigeria. Is it now you know what he has done?

Mr. Maradona(IBB), how do you want to be remembered? Gani came and fought for the less privileged. His assignment on earth is accomplished, now resting with his creator. May his soul rest in peace.

Thank God Babangida is vomiting is past deception. But he has more to say concerning MKO death, Dele Giwa, Vatsa, June 12, 1993 election, Oil Wind fall during Gulf War, Ejigbo Plane Crash of Military Personnel, etc. Gani has done his best for the country (Senior Advocate of Masses) May his soul rest in peace.

Not only IBB needs to learn from Gani's life and death. You and I should also learn from it. What type of leaders/followers are we at home, in our offices, our communities, our states and our nation. Learn and do the right thing so that our country can acheive greatness. Lets rebrand, then Gani's God will be happy with us.MAY ALLAH FORGIVE HIM AND GRANT HIM ALJANA, AMIIN.

We do not need an evil genius to tell us who Gani was. Let IBB shut up. He should go and ask for forgiveness because he contributed to the death of Gani by putting him in jail several times. Let him(IBB burry his head in shame. Bad for him that he did not make up with Gani before he went hom to rest.

Wonder how IBB is able to have a good sleep, he will surely not have peace when he dies. His death will be celebrated, when bad people die the nation rejoice, but when good people like Gani dies the nation mourn. R.I.P Gani You re loved.

Thanks Babangida for your piece on A Great man - Late Gani [SAM]. I wonder exactly when you realised that Late Chief Gani was a "great source of social engineering in Nigeria". Was it during your years as the president when you severely abused his human rights by indiscriminately punishing him for fighting for the masses Or was it after he died. Whichever be the case, One day you would also be gone. And I hope you do get a millionth of sincere farewell greetings as Chief Gani got. Thanks for repenting though. It kind of came some days late. Chief Gani would have laughed his head off jokingly at you had you made the speech while he was alive. Thanks once Again Maradona IBB

R.i.p chief Gani,we pray for person like you when the death come.but people we laugh to those who did wrong things immediately they died...check yourself now and do good.gud nite gani.

IBB has once again shown the stuff he's made of by his rather sinister comments.on the glorious home call of a wonderful and very upright Nigerian hero.All Maradona needed to tell the whole world is the untainted fact that the great Chief Gani Fawehinmi remained the only Nigerian he couldn't bribe "settle"or rubbish despite all his evil genius .At least all Ondo indigenes should be proud that Chief Fawehinmi was born in their midst and he resisted eating the vomit and excreta of the evil genius, unlike his fellow Ondo man(popularly known as Aleco) who even at 70yrs old revels eating puke and shit from the Minna based evil genius at every available opportunity.It's now time for all EGIN'S to unsure a befitting funeral for the ICON and they should be reassured that all well meaning people all over the world share the grief of their loss.IBB has once more refused saying the whole truth .We remember his repeated INSHA ALLAH statementS.What manner of man will have the temerity to call the name of Allah in vain knowing that he was not saying the truth.Of course God is very patient but no one can escape his judgement no matter how rich and well connected.We all await his final judgement ADIEU Chief Abdulganiyu Oyesola Fawehinmi.You lived and died for the masses of Nigerians and we will never forget you.

IBB is just being mischievous. Or how else do you explain this?

I'll like to take a vacation inside IBB's head, he must really have some Mckinze consultants up there deluding him that anything he says could be considered considering.He should kindly desist from associating with a true symbol of democracy, he is an evil genius and history would kindly reserve him that pit in hell

Some people are greater in dead than alive. Gani was a Hero while alive, He is immortal in dead. Nigeria will miss a patriot and a stateman that is fearless to any regime that came by.

BABANGIDA STARTED ADMIRING GANI BEFORE HIS DEATH. GOVERNMENT ACTIONS ARE OFTEN BORNE OUT OF CERTAIN EXPEDIENCIES THAT GO BEYOND THE INDIVIDUAL. THE PROPER THING TO DO IS TO FIGHT THEM WHEN THEY NEGATIVELY AFFECT YOU. GANI DID THIS. HE WAS NOT IN DETENTION OR PRISON WHEN BABANGIDA LEFT OFFICE. YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BABANGIDA, BUT HE IS A GREAT NIGERIAN IN HIS OWN WAY LIKE GANI.

Well spoken EVIL GENIUS, if you had said otherwise we would have been surprised. I'm sure deep down in your heart you feel nothing. Those lines sound like something prepared by your speech writer or your personal assistant.Nigerians would never forget those long years of misrule.You would always be remembered as our own HITLER! RIP Gani. You fought and conquered as many as you could. You would be remembered by generations yet unborn.

@Teddy. I wish u read this, u are not a sincere person at all. Are u living here in Nigeria or somewhere else? Take heed to your comments less they stand against sometimes.

Babangidaaaaaa .............

That is Maradona for you again. He is out to dribble us and Gani (even in death) again. Well thank God that he regards Gani so much after his death. Life after death don't you think?

No future for Naija

WE ARE HERE NOT TO BLAME ANYBODY, BUT ALL OTHER PUBLIC FIGURE SHOULD KNOW THAT JUST ONE DAY, DEATH WILL COME, BUT WHAT SHALL PROFIT A MAN WHO EARN ALL OTHER PEOPOLE RICHES AND END IN EVERLASTING HELL,WHERE THERE'S NO END........... CHIEF GANI'S SUDDEN DEATH IS A LESSON TO BOTH POOR AND THE RICHES.

I am deeply concerned about the remarks made by IBB because they contradict his actions while he was Head of State - which part should we believe now? Sadly, that seems to be our lot as Nigerians; we have a lot of leaders who say 'do as I say, don't do as I do.'

To GANI- Although you have gone, your image still lingers within. There is no doubt about your contribution to the advancement of Nigeria, politically, legally and otherwise. You are a defender of defenceless, very fearless. Very courageous. An advocate of good governance .I am happy to hear that even the likes of IBB have come to recognise your contribution. You stood by the truth even in the most tyrannical and ridiculous regime of Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, believing that one peaceful protest could expose the emptiness of an ideology. Gani you thought many things, we are going to miss you. We fill so empty and insecure by sudden your demise, you love for common citizen will be extinguished .May you gentle soul rest in peace. AMEN.

Whatever U do try and lave behind U a mark. Gani's own was positive, Ask urself sir, WHAT MARK DO U INTEND TO LEAVE BEHINDE? Please reflect!

Gani has led a fufilled life,but what will people say after the exit of MR MARADONNA.I think he should start redeeming his image before it is too late.

When l heard of Gani's death; my first comment was, Babangida will be the happiest person on earth for his death. Medicine after death. Thank God, death is inevitable.Your sin will find you out but sorry you will never have such enconium passed on you. Gani ADIUE

a monkey is only wise when the tree are standing side by side close to each other in other word IBB KNOWN AS INTERNATIONAL BABBAN BARAWO Is also not wise but foolish and soon to join GANI.

sweet are the memories of good people, Gani, we loved and missed you, continue to rest in peace. For IBB, OBJ and all the rest, remember one thing, you came with nothing, and you will surely go with nothing. Repent and seek forgiveness, especiall y for the attrocites, and crime against humanity committed during your time in office. Evil people like you will rotten in Hell fire when you go, and people will be glad that you are dead when your time comes, remember what happened to your evil brother, DR "Death" Abacha when he died. The blood of Kensarowiwa, Dele Giwa, Vasta, and all innocent people kille during your time is still on you and your family. No ammount of money you stole can change your reputation, you remain the most evil person in the history of Nigeria, and I think you should sut up when it comes to talking about this great man. May Allah, let Gani rest in the place allocated to the great Prophets. Rest in peace Baba rere

Chief Gani fault for the egalitarian Nigerian people , he defended the downtroden nigerian masses,No state,no group,no one did not feeled the impact of Gani Fawehinmi in the country.He fault the great fight.Go and rest.

Gani was indeed fearless. He was also friendly,and no matter what he felt, he always wore a smile that said, 'we have to overcome all situations through the law" Gani had been instrumental in pesuading me to put aside my appointment as a High Court Judge in Ogun State, to go and work with him as Senior Advisor to The Concord Press of Nigeria Inc. then. Gani had assured me of his tsupportand he had been there all the time with me teaching me Press law. I was lucky to see him as he presented his cases to Court.Gani allways had a case to butress his point and never saw his opponents in Court battles as enemies. Never forget that Gani was very Civil to women and knowing him once made him a friend for life. A perfect gentleman when dealing with the opposite sex. May his soul rest in peace and may he meet and laugh with Dele Giwa as I used to see them share jokes whenever we were together. I am proud of the life he exhibited,he had richmen as his friends but he never failed fighting for the poor. He treasured freedom of the individual. Greatest sympathy to his family, friends and the Nigerian Bar and Judiciary that would find it difficult to accept his absence forever. Christine J N. Kaluma,honoured to appear in cases with Gani as a senior Advocatein Concord Press Inc. Cases.

I sincerely want to believe that Gani had indeed done what a greatman in the world could not do and people have commented rigthly.But sincerely speaking as a muslim Gani ought to have been buried as a muslim considering the positin of Islam on such issue even if Gani himself has erroneously directed his family members that he should be bury in a particular way contrary to the dictate of the religion his wish should not be followed.May ALLAH forgive him and his family members.BABANGIDA NOW agree with chief after his demise it is a shame on his part.
