Dele Farotimi I am 73yrs old and I want to tell you that I have always viewed most of your videos and posts. I love your boldness in speaking the truth you believe in. May our God guide and protect you in this selfless assignment you have taken upon your self.
Thanks for your kind words. God bless you
We should also commend the interviewer for asking the right questions as well. All of the questions helped to unveil a lot of things.
Thanks brother
My likeness for this man is immeasurable
What a brilliant man!! 👏👏👏👏
I consider Mr Farotimi a genius, his wisdom and truthfulness is divine. 💫
Really divine😍🥰
🥰😍
I have always said it that Dele Farotimi is the Yoruba version of Ojukwu the only difference is that, he is not in power and not in military. Very fearless not minding whose ox is gored
Well said 👏 👌 👍 🙌
This man is a humorist, and still a great satirist. I love the way he passes his message. Thank you for this interview, sir, Ndubisi.
You're welcome brother 😊 ☺ 🙂
This gifted man is a Nigerian for a purpose that generation in horizon will come to appreciate. His analysis is beyond criticism. His honest diagnosis and analysis, dissecting of a country in chaotic syndrome are bound in every facets of Nigerian. He is a patriot. His love for the citizens are beyond measure. The creator of heaven and earth will stand with him. He can not be destroyed. Majority of Nigerians are solidly with him. His statements resonate today and will resnonate to future Nigerians. I have just subscribed. Great Interview, really depth, consciousness aroused, it's doesn't get any better than this, thank you.
I am a visual Identity Designer here in Nigeria and my skill set is highly valuable to the foreign world. Most of my colleagues fled, and the remaining ones are planning to flee but I wholeheartedly agree with what Dele Farotimi said, if you have the courage to flee, why not stay here and stand up for your Nation the little way you can and not bother about the outcome or rather work towards a positive outcome the little way you can. That way you make a better nation for yourself and the generations to come.
I have set one of my life existence purpose to being one of the major spearheads to liberate the Nigerian minds from this shackle and I will not flee because that isn't my home rather I will stay here and develop this nation and my continent to be a major global force in this universe and I will do whatever I can in my power to bring this dream to reality.
As I have said this words, it has come to pass. Ise.
I look forward to a successful nation and continent for Nigeria and Africa.
🖤🧡

My Guy!! Very powerful interview. Kudos to the interviewer and the guest Mr. Dele Farotimi. God bless you for speaking truth to power
This the best interview I have watched
🫂 🤗 👐 🥰😍
This was impactful. A lot to take home, didn’t feel like a 2 hours interview, every bit of it was a hit. I’ll rewatch this over and over just to remind myself of who I am. I am not a slave in my country.
Excellently said! 🥰
Dele Farotimi's knowledge is profound...this interview is highly impressive and impactful and became more interesting as it goes from the middle to the end
🥰
Dele always speaks to my head
So true🥰
I thank God for Tinibu

Thanks brother. God bless
Great Mind...
🥰
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤from the 🇺🇸
🫂 🤗 👐 🫂
Great man
I love this man.😂
The most powerful part of this interview to me was at the 30 th minute when he talked about the blessings of Nigeria 'I live in a country that is blessed....... beautiful human beings.... "
There is no reason why there should be any lack.....
Nigerians need to stop fighting over irrelevant things and build a nation....
Unfortunately in the present clime difficult to see how it can happen.
BAT may have a damascene conversion but truly it is each and every Nigerian that needs a conversion in his/her attitude not justooking to the leadership who are themselves a creation of our system and environment.
Well said 👏 👌 👍 🙌 😌 🙂
Respect to DF🙌🏽
🥰🥰
Mind blowing truth 😁
🥰😍
If you watched till the end, comment "Nigeria" and share with me what you learned from this interview ❤❤❤
Smart Dele
👍 👌
How do we get it right has been the question on the mind of every Nigerian
The most important question my dear
32:50: "If you were blessed to see something wrong, in my own view, it is either because you are meant to shout or because you are the solution to the problem" - Dele Farotimi.
Well said 👏 👌 👍 🙌
Mr Dele has a laugh similar to my seven year old grandson... so cute 😊❤
🫂 🤗
Praise God
😇
😢
The perspective, the wisdom, the fearlessness, the candour…all in your face from DF🫶🏽
🤩🤩🤩
@@innocentike4201 i am personally privileged, humbled and blessed to listen to him speak.
DF honestly speaks out truth 99.999999% of men in Nigeria murmur in their heart…🙌🏽
😍🥰
Intelligent is an understatement, its goes beyond tbh
Tinubu made my eyes to open to unfollow some so-called men of God and unfriend many friends on social media.
So sad 😞 😔 😟
Run to where oh😅?
Jaguda president
The host volume was poor
Noted. Will be worked on subsequent. Thanks for the feedback
Bruh you are making me go mad. Please stop partitioning one interview into multiple videos. I saw a clip of Mr Dele and I wanted to download full video from UA-cam only to see more than one interview videos, and don’t know which to watch first or last. K nearly opted out 😡 Abeg post full videos. You made me go mad 😡 please
