All of us should be ashamed of the state of Nigerian criminal law & procedure, Prof. Chidi Odinkalu

I have been immensely enriched and thoroughly educated by watching this interview. Whenever I read essays by this guest or listen to him speak, I learn new words and expressions. Thank you for bringing on Prof. Chidi Odinkalu. It is an absolute privilege. I also commend Rudolf for the admirable way he conducts his interviews.

[@KennedyEbong-dt2fh]

Professor Chidi Odinkalu is in a class of his own. I'm impressed with his analogy of the case.

[@elliotono2341]

Attorney Chid, what a wonderful take on Wike. We need attorneys like you. It's folks like you and Dele Farotimi that should be governing a country like Nigeria. Not those past and present politicians governing Nigeria. Politicians that are in power for their own selfish self interest.

[@josephihedoro8729]

But Unfortunately, most Nigerians do not like educated people like Prof Odinkalu to rule Nigeria because he is Igbo.most yorubas and their northern collaborators prefer non ibos with little or no competencies and Muslims to rule them.Even as the country is a failed state and the poorest nation on earth.nigeria prefers mediocre to rule them.

[@mimia2722]

It doesn’t get any more intellectual than this. Absolutely stunning interview! Professor Odinkalu was crystal clear with ‘receipts’. He did not pontificate his responses. We need brains like him to move Nigeria forward. Kudos to the presenter, very methodical. I’m proud of ur work. 👍🏾👌Don’t compromise.

[@chyknikoncept5938]

Always delightful listening to Prof. Chidi Odinkalu You see how mischievous some SAN can be,. Imagine how Ruufai's guest dismissed a fact by calling it an Opinion. Hence, it explains how dangerous some legal practitioners are really the problem of this country

[@lumen-rationis]

Judicial corruption is in overdrive on Dele Farotimi 's case. With all that is going on, one can conclude that Nigeria is irredeemably corrupt and the justice system of Nigeria has decayed beyond restoration.

[@DeleOderinde]

At some point we have to undertake the ‘cleaning of the Augean stables’ within the judicial system in Nigeria. If not now, when? Does the government have both the political and moral will to carry out this task?

[@innocentokoye6644]

Odinkalu is a material any day, indeed, one of Nigeria's best❤

I decided to watch the whole length of this interview in an attempt to get a balanced version of what has been playing out in the Dele Farotimi/Judiciary/Police issue and I'm happy with the explanations of Prof Odinkalu - bottom line is that of the process and not the personalities involved. Well done Rudolf

The issue is not cross jurisdictional one, but the fact that defamation is not a crime in Ekiti State.

[@idowuoladele]

SLAPP is an acronym for Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. It's a legal term that refers to a civil complaint or counterclaim filed against someone who speaks out on a matter of public interest. The goal of a SLAPP is to silence or intimidate the target by making them pay for a costly legal defense until they stop speaking out. SLAPPs are often filed by businesses, government officials, or other groups against people who oppose them. The term was coined in the 1980s by University of Denver professors George Pring and Penelope Canan

[@bo13416]

The learned Senior Advocate is talking about “an offense”. There is no offense here,there is only “a wrong”,which can be redressed by a civil process

I hope Nigerians are listening to this Attorney Chid. Because what's going on in Nigeria is a massive injustice. And Nigerians should be protesting against this awful baba in Ekiti state. In fact journalists in Nigeria should have the guts to investigate this Oldman and his past history.

Chilling effects is a term that describes when people or groups are discouraged from expressing themselves or exercising their rights due to the threat of legal consequences or other negative repercussions. This can happen when laws are unclear or too broad, or when people fear retaliation from the government.

No, the greater issue is how he linked that to " Igbos building, living, trading and enjoying all over Nigeria but won't sell their own land to outsiders). This is at a time when Igbophobia is very rampant in Nigeria and Igbo homes and businesses are being destroyed all over Nigeria

@@basilebekonye6571 That’s what you attracted to yourself in the south east. A criminal was arrested yesterday being the 14th of December 2024 in Ihiala anambra state in the name of fighting for Biafra freedom. You need to see the young man talking about what they are doing to their fellow igbos in the same south east. They kill, kidnap and rob the same people they claimed to be fighting for their freedom. So, military checkpoints in the south east is not going anywhere yet.

[@mathewsamuel1386]

Why is this excuse even necessary? Dele Farotimi has said that what he wrote in his book is all in the public domain, so he has the evidence to back his claims in the book. Shouldn't he just rely on this to defeat the case rather than all the attempt to quash the case on the grounds of it not being known to the law in Ekiti state, etc., etc.? The country will benefit more from having Babalola exposed.

Yet he has the audacity to print a banner and went about defaming an innocent man doing what God has called him to do.
