THE URGENCY OF NOW

[@AkinwumiOluranti]

🎉❤Just subscribed to your channel...Thank goodness I stumbled at your KZbin channel not by mistake either but divine..... you're worth of emulation, having said that I watched you and Teju just yesterday was amazed but not my first time of listening to you, thank you Egbon...life is a place of lessons and death is a gateway to life eternal, be comforted🎉❤

[@saheedkolapo6391]

May he be forgiven. Barrister please let's stay strong. We must get this country better together and the urgency is now. Excellent and constructive statement.

[@andrewagbonlahor2498]

God bless you my brother. A lack of love, wickedness, selfishness and greed has led a few people to literally sell of our country. This brings a very sad and shameful feeling. As you speak one name comes to my mind, J.K. Rawlins. Whenever the wickedness and atrocities in any nation gets out of control, God normally intervenes.

[@henrynwachukwu3402]

I cannot believe what i saw today soo we have one yoruba man like this in this country, soo full of wisdom 😮

[@chrisugwuneze6733]

Barrister you are one of the great minds who is ready to see this country work. Keep talking as you are opening the minds and eyes of many.

[@okoronkwojohn1319]

Thank you so much Sir for the message and your unwavering courage to stand in the face of tyranny. God bless you Sir

[@IkeChukwudi-xj5pt]

Ur type are rare in Nigeria infact ever since I get to know Delete Farotimi since 2015 he never deviate from speaking the truth. He is one of the leaders we need to move Nigeria forward positively not this criminal we have in powers now

[@motowndrive]

You are wise and aware, a lone voice in the wilderness. Your chosen theme echoes one salient injunction from the mystical classic 'Unto Thee I Grant': "Whatsoever thou resolve to do, do it quickly; defer not until the evening what the morning can accomplish." The problem in Nigeria is well known, but what is lacking is the willingness to confront it head-on.

[@matthewmatete6661]

May the Almighty console all of us because we all are mourning. NIGERIA IS DEAD.And may GOD give Bar.Adeshina's family the fortitude to bear the lose.

[@hack999casper6]

Good morning my mentor ❤❤❤❤❤God bless you and your wife and family 🙏

[@gbengamafi5358]

I doubt we will ever really appreciate Mr Dele and his timeless value until he's not with us anymore... similar to Fela

[@Phoenixevolve]

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me. When peter mandate was brazenly stolen, we felt unconcerned, now the chickens have come home to roost in different forms in our households

[@ade008]

To append to your correct analogy... Some say that the subsequent Nuremberg trails were a form of "victors justice". Not for me to say, but I do know that ALL such "day afters" REQUIRE such uncompromising, public, moral and criminal JUSTICE ⚖️. Future generations must know and see the line that separates them from what was almost their destruction. Peace, from truth and justice.

[@rasaqademola5109]

My condolence to the ogunlana family i pray almighty Allah grant him aljannah fidau and forgive him his sin ma sha Allah.

Sir, those are kind prayers, but have you introduced the late gentleman to the route of Jannatil Firdaws?

[@petermichael6363]

I am happy it has become clear that we cannot save Nigeria through the ballot box as I have always opinned since 2020. Kenneth Okonwo wrote something recently and people who lack the capacity to reason attacked him and I laughed. Peter Obi will NEVER become president if he continues this kind of politics. If you are not ready to grab your mandate as presented to you by the masses, you aint ready. Edo is only a rehearsal for 2027!

[@onyekaonwukennethchidi7654]

[@ibiyimikaige4814]

I am totally for an independent Yoruba nation. If we acknowledge that Nigeria is a failed nation, how difficult is it then to embrace a break up of Nigeria? Let’s try something different instead of everyone lamenting.

[@Adebayobamidelealfredmoses]

Mhmmm! It's so unfortunate & shameful ! You have spoken well ! History will be kind to you sir 🎉

[@hack999casper6]

There's no more path to victory through the ballot, something has to give.

[@OnlyGodforever1]

Nigeria is currently captured & nothing can work in as much these same set of people are still in power. They are different people entirely because of the spirit they have embedded in themselves

[@fatimaahmed7249]

Sir, More wisdom to you..Ameen. Rip to the late Mr. Ogunlana...And, my sincere condolences to his family and friends. Haven lived so long outsided Nigeria ( with occasional visits ), i have longed realised that TRIABALISM and religious OVERZEALOUSNESS is Nigeria,s biggest problems. And that is why i no longer owe allegiance to ANY TRIBE ...I am a Nigerian...PERIOD! Time for EVERY Nigerian to WAKE UP!

[@henrynwachukwu3402]

MY sincere condolences to the family

[@ojoyekini6011]

How do we the Masses plan for this REVOLUTION?. Because all these CAPITALISTS would not let go.

[@Shomac1]

With the last Edo election, it shows that the masses ain't ready yet

[@victoredwards3959]

@@Shomac1. First given that the system of society has more or less collapsed in Nigeria, you can not take or used the Edo elections as an example, people did not vote for that, and it’s irrelevant what you voted for, corruption always prevail. Secondly, as the dele explains, democracy has left the country call Nigeria, and it’s not going to save or change Nigeria. The only rescuers is a big revolution, to reset the country and create a new Nigeria. My dad is 83 years old, retired , a banker, civil servant in the second republic and he also worked with the military government of buhari , lbb, and brutal dictatorship of Sunni Abasha . He thinks the only people who can start a revolution are the people with the aid of the military. And it’s important as the writer says - what happens the after that revolution?

[@justreason5868]

Could Nigeria's problems be deeper than the Bulaba or the endemic problem created and allow Bulaba to thrive.

It is simply because Nigeria is not a homogeneous state. We are tribal and ethnic... therefore, we are not related to the collective enough to revolt against oppression. Until........

I deeply think the local kings of ethnic groups in Nigeria(at least the 3 main ones), need to form an alliance, except they too are bought and the flourishing of this nation and their tribe means nothing to them.... This guys will run this country tonthe group except God.

[@kingsleyochonogor9184]

On a flipper side the reason why a revolution can never happen is because the systems in place are faulty. We need non state institutions that clearly symbolizes Patriotism (collective interest rather than individual), humanity, integrity and honour. If we succeed in having these institutions, we cannot also afford to have someone who is a human right activist in the afternoon and a politician at night, and expect a genuine revolution. It doesn't work that way. Being a human right activist and a politician is like mixing Bleach + Ammonia (produces toxic chloramine gas). If you want to know the potential hazard it portends, look at previous previous human right activists who because leaders. They end up being worst than the monster they were fighting against. I will not mention names because we know them and they know them selves.

I used to be a zealous Christian until l experienced many tragedies in recent years that have forced me to question the existence of a good God. I have wondered why good people do die and why the wicked men in Nigeria are alive and enjoying life. Where's the good God?

[@highlyfavored5207]

God is good all the time and all the time God is good. You clearly do not understand the God you claimed to serve. Where in the Bible does it tell you that being a Christian means you will not suffer tragedies or loses? If the Lord God could offer up His only begotten son to go through the trauma of being nailed to the cross to purchase our salvation, why then will you give up on God because you suffered tragedies? Did you not read about all the tragedies and sufferings the Apostles went through? Do you know many of them tragically lost their lives while trying to preach the gospel? The Christian walk is not easy but if you truly love the Lord God Yahweh and His son Jesus Christ Yeshua and the Holy Spirit, you will not give up on the Heavenly Father Yahweh. We live in a wicked and fallen world so bad things will sometimes happen even to good people who don't deserve it but we cannot give up on Yahweh. He is our constant help in times of trouble. He is our Ebenezer. Testing and trials will come because we must be refined. Heaven is not an easy place to get into. May the Heavenly Father Yahweh grant you Grace not to fall away in Jesus Christ Yeshua's Name Amen.

[@MTJCC]

He's where He's always been. Seated on His Throne in Heavenly. Wait patiently for Him to act. Vengeance is His and no one will escape His judgement. We will all account for our behavior, so walk in the righteousness of Christ and trust only Him. God bless and do not fret because of evil doers. Psalm 37.

[@dpkrukrubo]

But, the plan for the day after is determined by who wins the day, no? So if revolution is inevitable, how do we win the day?

[@br_josh]

Mr. Farotimi, it's good to see that you now understand that the discussion should be about the way forward. That could have started several months ago if only you had not threatened to block me on Facebook and also ignored all of my entreaties for a simple conversation. If you are willing to have a conversation, do well to send me your email. A true leader is not afraid to have a conversation. I also believe in peace as I have no capacity or desire for violence. If you're ready for a conversation, let's have a conversation.

[@oluchukwupiusifechukwu3034]

Sir, I suppose you know Tony Nnadi of NINAS. I think NINAS has a clear action plan for the day after you're talking about. I think the message of NINAS needs to be amplified. I've always wondered why the mainstream media don't given topicality to NINAS and Tony Nnadi and the message of a new way forward for a new reconfigured Nigeria. Their template makes utter sense, is absolutely reasonable and logical and more importantly precludes violence by its very modality.

[@afolabiadegoke4560]

How can a people who are so divided become one? First each region must become one. With 3-4 voices, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa (Fulani) it becomes easier to set a table for dialogue. This can not be therefore Chaos becomes our only inevitable option. We must again therefore discuss how this chaos can be managed. Time may be limited for mankind but time is available for causes.

No revolution is peaceful, from the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, the workers revolution in China, Cuba etc it's never peaceful, the criminals presently in power in Nigeria won't allow peaceful change making violent one inevitable, votes counted last in Nigeria in 1993, and if it's impossible to continue staying together let's go our separate ways
