The great man of this generation who is not afraid to say his mind in public affairs and political commentary. Dele Farotimi is the only one who has the fearless charisma of Chief Gani Fawehnmi.
Maybe you should start naming the good things in Nigeria. A country is built on systems, the educational is completely gone so tell me the platform to build the future of Nigeria.
I will never accept that there is no hope for the nation regardless of how bad things are. Truth is there are millions of souls in this nation who are never going to leave, deliberately or not. I salute them all and wish them the best.
There's hope for Nigeria. People enjoy negativity and will rather die complaining about their government than think and proper solutions. I choose not to join in cursing my country and its leaders. I rise above it now and forever. Every country has its difficulties, no where is perfect
We need to learn a lot about Nigeria from Brother Dele. What Nigerians citizens need to do to move forward. I will search for the book he has written to learn more and become conscious in Nigeria situations.
what i liked most about uncle ferotimi is the self confidence ,i got that too....people don't feel comfortable around me either for saying the truth and fearless but pray we don't die in the process of making good impact in our society...God will continue to straighten you
I can listen to him over and over again, and the few times I have had opportunity of meeting him, I tell him how much I respect him. Keep being you Mr Dele Farotimi! Nigeria is blessed with men like you who dare to speak out in love of your country
Uncle Dele we are proud of you an intelligent guru. I subscribe to this because of you. Your pain for bad governance is well appreciated by all Nigerians. May God protect you. Continue with your crusade for a New Nigeria. We believe in God it shall come to pass. Amen. We love you.
You are merely listening to someone waffling and throwing tantrums to the gallery. Must we burn down the house just because we want to light the cigarette? Advise your children to study hard and perhaps lady luck will smile on them and do the change Nigeria needs. Crossing Sahara desert, and deserting jobs and selling their properties to go abroad and be enslaved will do Nigeria no good. My one cent sir.
@@user-br2yl7lb6t Nigeria is NOT gone. Of course, the situation of the country isn't helped when the likes of you keep running it down. Prosperity is already on it's way; brewing quietly underground and will return to NGR soon; whether you choose to be a part of it or not.
It’s a good thing you a fellow Yoruba says so! Heaven knows, if I say anything to the contrary- it’s because I’m tribalistic!!! One’s proud to call themselves Nigerian- with brains, Boldness and application like his
Nigeria-Oil producing country losing the entire value in the value chain… ooouuch😢 that sunk real deep. Much respect from kenya🇰🇪 . Dele Farotimi cannot be ignored.
They can sue him, but won't, because it's a waste of time. There's nothing to be benefited from suing him. The man is always talking abrasively and nothing positive comes out of it. In this interview, he has said many things that are actionable, but no one literally has the time to waste suing him.
They can sue him; but keep him on the outside and that can suffice for them!!! Besides- truth in the Courts (though compromised!) could be too disastrous!!!
@@MrMethodist The truth is bitter. Most Nigerians prefer to hear empty sweet words. Just because a man speaks the truth does not mean he is negative. When a parent scolds a child does that mean the parent wants the worse for the child?
its just a shame that our country is decaying gradually and if one talks they will what to shout u up... Mr Dele Farotimi God will continue to bless you and keep telling everyone that will hear the truth.
I grew up in Lagos with the mentality that people like Dele Giwa and Dele Farotimi are worthy of the "Omoluabi" title. So it was a huge shock to then see some of the same elders who beat this into my morality in church and my neighbourhood now calling Tinubu the thief an "Omoluabi" because of the expectation of crumbs falling from his table. Make no mistake, I will never falter in my understanding of who to call Omoluabi. Dele Farotimi ni Omoluabi
I’ve been saying this same thing for months. I watched Venezula crumble to its knees. An oil rich country that became disastrous, at some point, a large portion of the Venezuelan population couldn’t afford to buy Bread to eat. The Venezuelan Bolívar (currency) became useless. The same trajectory the Nigerian Naira is on. This is very scary. Our country’s problem runs deep. Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause And guide our leaders right . Help our youth the truth to know 🙏🏽.
Venezuela followed a Marxist system of operating the economy. And of course Marxism has been proven to not be able to stand. Nigeria, on the other hand, is supposed to be free market economy but corruption, criminal leaders with no vision other than embezzlement and supporting the political elites in keeping that wealth for themselves. What is wrong with Nigeria is plain to see and inevitable to how we are ruled.
Wow! Agba oni tan lorile oo, AMIN🙏🏾 Mr. Dele, ese, e ku ohun💖 There is no one that pass through Fela Anikulakpo Kuti, who is not revolutionary in nature. I’m proud to say that I’m one of the students of Fela’s shrine. But my in ability to accept GOD given purpose, or the lack of courage to speak up against the powerful people in Nigeria, has ended up messing with my mental health; unlike brother Dele Farotimi who is courageously insane to defend birth rights as a Nigerian, I on the other hand, has now realistically become cowardly insane, because I’m afraid of what people would say, and the inevitable, death. Brother Olateju, I appreciate what you are using your platform to do. May GOD continue to increase you in the mighty name of our LORD, JESUS CHRIST, AMEN🙏🏾🌸
Mr Dele is effortlessly sound, I could listen to him all day. His verbiage, views and reasoning ability are worth emulating. I will like to use the Senegal election as a landmark to assure Nigerians that the change we deserve is near. The African people are wiser and smarter.Relatively speaking, any person above the age of 50 has no business running for an election.
Age unless there is a serious health issue is NOT THE PROBLEM. I like to refer to the age old football saying if you are good enough you are old enough. In the context of Nigeria using your flawed reasoning about no one over the age of 50 has no business running for election. Character, Vision and Aptitude is what is needed.
@@gerardonochie3408 The world is evolving rapidly, many countries are beginning to support younger, educated and vibrant candidates for president. We are tired of voting analog politicians who can hardly operate an iPhone. Ain’t you tired of maladministration? Ain’t you tired of embezzlement? Ain’t you tired of the living condition of most Nigerians? It is time for older politicians to retire bcos we’ve seen enough, they have nothing to offer!
The people that criticize this man and fail to see that his part of the few still keeping the sanity of some Nigerians. If people like this wish to align with the govt, dont you think they will be up with top politicians sharing our resources. Same people that hails fela today were his critics in time past. Just see the truth in what he's saying.
Thank you Boda Olateju for uploading this video, God bless you sir. It’s always a pleasure listening to the words of wisdom by Uncle Dele, God will continue to protect, guide and guard you in all ways. More wisdom, knowledge and Understanding!
That interview was thought-provoking. A lot came out of that conversation. My takeaway is that if we do not come out to ask for good governance, things will be far worse in Nigeria than it is currently.
This is the best sermon i have heard all week!!! I pray for Peter Obi and his support made of ppl like you Sir. May God help us realise our part to play in birthing the new Nigeria.
Awesome interview. If you call Mr Farotimi 100 times, I will hear him more than 100 times. Thank you sir. Thank you Teju. May the Lord bless you all. E se a dupe.
Thank you sirs! I have sought an opportunity to say Thank you sir for every truth you have said, that we feel irrespective of our ethnic differences. Thank you for explaining who we are again as Nigerians. I pray we can correct our ills.
Who is responsible??? Most of the population is severely guilty. Funny enough, a driver who me in Lagos voluntarily said to me they go to Churches on Sundays and Mosques on Fridays. A week after his remarks, the parading rogues stole my phone 📱 all my contacts cut off . Tell me, how do you know who's innocent .Land of wholesale undesirables 😮😮😮😢
Teju Babyface has held me hostage with his podcasts. In one day, I've watched about 4 episodes. You ate my entire weekend, but I'm glad because you bring so much value with your interviews
Thank you so much Sir, thank for giving us hope constantly we are proud you our generation will remain grateful for your fearless, courageous and sincerity
Teju Babyface has been in the media for a very very long time yet he never gets old and for Mr Farotimi we greet you sir Nigerians love you listening to you gives me joy.
Wow ! I actually listened all through to this interview 😊 God bless brother Dele tremendously. Well done, Teju 👌👌👌 part of those that have acted wisely long ago😂😅😅. I still wonder and imagine survival in a place called Nigeria esp if not a politician or linked to any political rogues or wealthy by any means. Because no matter the "source," they will still protect you. Sad reality !
Dele Farotimi and very few of his likes stands out. A very brilliant individual. I’ll never get tired listening to him. And Teju welcome to Houston, no wonder you’ve not been so active on the local scene. You made a very wise decision to relocate with your family. I wish you the best
The great man of this generation who is not afraid to say his mind in public affairs and political commentary. Dele Farotimi is the only one who has the fearless charisma of Chief Gani Fawehnmi.
I can't see the name "Dele Farotimi" and not drop by to listen to a man full of wisdom.
He's not a patriotic nigerian. Everything in Nigeria can't be wrong
Maybe you should start naming the good things in Nigeria. A country is built on systems, the educational is completely gone so tell me the platform to build the future of Nigeria.
Are the stealing politicians patriotic?
My too! His draws my rapt attention. ❤
Honestly I found the short clip on Facebook I have to come down here to watch the full interview.
I will never accept that there is no hope for the nation regardless of how bad things are.
Truth is there are millions of souls in this nation who are never going to leave, deliberately or not. I salute them all and wish them the best.
Our parents said the same thing back in the 80s. And here we are today.
There's hope for Nigeria. People enjoy negativity and will rather die complaining about their government than think and proper solutions. I choose not to join in cursing my country and its leaders. I rise above it now and forever. Every country has its difficulties, no where is perfect
Bros Teju, the person who did this edit deserves a raise! Even though you are continents apart, it still felt like you were in the same room. Kudos
I thought they were together. You’re brilliant
We need to learn a lot about Nigeria from Brother Dele. What Nigerians citizens need to do to move forward. I will search for the book he has written to learn more and become conscious in Nigeria situations.
Dele is one of the most sound mind you can listen to in this life
Very bold too
He isn't.
I love this man. He is boldly frank, fearless and straight forward. May GOD keep and preserve him. Amen
Amen
what i liked most about uncle ferotimi is the self confidence ,i got that too....people don't feel comfortable around me either for saying the truth and fearless but pray we don't die in the process of making good impact in our society...God will continue to straighten you
The lone voice in the wilderness no one is listening to. I'm proud to be a Nigerian because people like Dele Farotimi live there.
Word!😮
@@hopealivewithevang.olubunm2287Great Man

Keep being you Mr Dele Farotimi! Nigeria is blessed with men like you who dare to speak out in love of your country
This is the one of the few men of integrity still left in Nigeria.... I can't get enough of his wisdom any time he speaks 😊😊😊😊

Remarkable comment. He's never a joker!😮
its just a shame that our country is decaying gradually and if one talks they will what to shout u up... Mr Dele Farotimi God will continue to bless you and keep telling everyone that will hear the truth.
If only Nigerians ever listened to their patriots, but we don't do. Posterity will be kind to you Sir, Dele Farotimi.
What patriots? Patriots that live abroad. Lmao. Nigerians sha
Mr Farotimi!!!!!
What a man!
"God will preserve those he will preserve. " Absolutely! You are preaching sir 🙌
Protect DELE……. We need him in the future 🙌🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿
God will protect him and his household including all his well wishers.
May the Lord protect Dele Farotimi he reminds me of the Great Gani Fawehinmi.
A unique character, consistent, forthright, the double edged sword for justice, a lone conscience of the people. The man Dele Farotimi
But an old f00l for saying this
RESPECT Sir! You've remained a Role model to a lot of us.
God Bless you Boss Dele Farotimi
