I will pay any amount of my money to listen to Mr Dele speak. Well done AriseTV for bringing him on and giving him time to speak. God continually guide and protect Mr Dele Farotimi.
He is a blessing to our generation.
Iykeman thanks for the remark. I am confident listening. He mostly doesnt disappointment.
Mr. Dele Faturoti.You will not die for us. God will preserve for us. Iam a 78years old woman. I have been following you. All these politics they are playing are not what Fulani 9:29 playing is to make us their slaves. Nigeria has expired since 2014.Let depart. This is not the way in a civilized country
My best part.
Did you listen to the President speech? "I didn't bother, it is a waste of time"
When are you bringing this man again?
I listened to it. I was foolish. Won't do it again.
Didn't either. Total waste of time. I'm so illuminated by Dele Rotimi's discussion. We need more from this intellectual and patriotic man. Arise crew, bring him more
It was a waste of time truly, the president's inflection and articulation is more like a nursery school pupil learning to read, besides, the content of the speech is nothing but usual lies and empty expectations. It's only the "Special Tribe" in Nigeria that would put forward such a figure to run for office in 21st century.
Outside of finding him entertaining, what else did you get from this? Are you going to start contributing to the change the country requires? Or you just want to see him come here often for your listening pleasure?
Listening to this man is like drinking a cool champagne in a seven star hotel in Dubai! What a man!! So intelligent and out of this world knowledge of the Nigerian's affairs!!! God bless u, pls crew, always bring this man in critical situations in this nation, he has the key.
Well said and I agree with you
Unfortunately, all what he does is to provoke our consciousness, stimulate our intellectual powerhouse and then we all go back to our sleep.
He is an encyclopedia of knowledge
However, Mr. Farotimi's opinions are uninformed regarding self-determination, if that's what he meant by secession.
Thanks
Listening to this was NOT a waste of my time. Dele did justice to the subject matter.
Arise News crew did awesome job in giving the guest ENOUGH time to express and explain.
Thanks Dele.
Awesome!! I got the most liked comment.😁👍.
Good talk
Interesting to listen to the speaker. Correct to the point.
One month later I still come back to watch this episode
i love him
I like this guy. Not too many Africans speak this way. He's not afraid to speak the truth!!!
MR DELE YOU WILL FOREVER REMAIN MY HERO, PLEASE WHEN YOU FINISH WRITING YOUR BOOK I WANT TO BE AMONG THE FIRST PEOPLE TO BUY . GOD BLESS YOU SIR
The book is out already. You can download from his website: www.delefarotimi.com/book/
@@ekemezieuche23 AHHH THANKS MY MAN GOD BLESS YOU PLENTY BRO
United on my foot,mad people everywhere Fredrick lugard slaves everywhere talking trash.
God who did we offend as a people, when we have brilliant minds like this and yet we have people like a ‘Buhari’as a leader😭😭😭😭
lolz
In Nigeria, intellects walk the streets while illiterates live in presidential villas.
Hmmmmmm!!! I took a deep sigh.
I wonder o! However, there's hope! Currently we are practicing kakistocracy cum kleptocracy, disguised as democracy and that's why his kind is not admissible into our brand of politics. This is what must change and only the people can change it! We all have to first truly understand the issues in order to find the courage to take a stand!
When you think of a lawyer, this guy doesn't come to mind based on his looks but he knows his stuff.
That means your judgement is a skewed. Sorry for you
Believe me , he does! I can testify
@@Richdollabill No, those hairs are not befitting of a professional.
@@Richdollabill Are you telling me you won't run for your dear life or slam the door if you find him the way he is on this show, knocking at your door?
There is no doubt about his intelligence though. He's a very brilliant man!
@@memyself5412 He looks finer when he is not on dreadlocks! He is a great fellow.
5:15 "It is not the duty of the oppressor to free the oppressed. It is the duty of the oppressed to demand his liberation". Word, sir!
Who get the book, The pedagogy of the oppressed.
Go read the book: The pedagogy of the oppressed.
Duty of the oppressed to FREE THEMSELVES, I would say!
This is the most intelligent Nigerian I have ever listened. Bit only did he identified the problems, he understands the issues, he knows the history of the problem and he subsequently listed the solution to each problem. Brilliant and genius
When intelligent people who can articulate how the Nation problem can be solved are not given the chance, but an area boy is given the power to pocket a state revenue in the name of union leader then we should know that end time has come. Nigeria is finished.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
MC Oluomo, we should start calling people out, we are all equal citizens, let us use our voices and stop speaking as if we're afraid, why should we be afraid to speak up in our own country?!
This lectures with Mr Dele should be made a weekly program to be held on arise tv. I will suggest every Saturday.
I have always loved this man, his level of argument and his coinage of English language to drive his point home. What a learned human being.
This is without a doubt the most insightful 45mins on Nigeria I've ever come across. I recommend this to any outsider who wants to know what the current situation is in Nigeria.
Dele Farotimi is a very brilliant mind that is able to articulate ideas into words in a way only very few can
My brother you're brilliant. You've spoken well, even Abati and colleagues are speechless.
This man is a jewel. His truth is so blatant and brutal. I love this man
I was watching something else but when UA-cam suggested this interview, I had to leave everything I was doing to listen this sound intellectual. Thumbs up Barr Dele Farotimi
Please check the comment of Oluseye Olugboyega up there, that is the solution and the greater truth.
"There is no way ravenous wolves would become vegetarians" This is Epic, Mr Dele is a wordsmith.
Tears runs down my eyes when I hear Dele speaks. I know this voice would call soon and we would all obey and follow. Like and intelligent minds
Please check the comment of Oluseye Olugboyega up there, that is the solution and the greater truth.
This man's filled with knowledge and experience to mentor the young generation of Nigerians for future true leaders of Nigeria.
Listening to Dele Farotimi is quite educative, why don't we such people as our legislators or administrators, just a shame!
Thank you for giving him the time to educate the viewers.
Please check the comment of Oluseye Olugboyega up there, that is the solution and the greater truth.
Tears drop from my eyes, perceiving the passion of him
Mehn I'm so happy with this man's intellectual ability. My God ! Even the pple asking questions could not argue a word with him but instead they were laughing and overwhelmed by his knowledge and realistic analysis of the Nigerian problem. My respect goes to this man. 👍👍. I'm so happy that he touched the part of using secession as a solution whereas restructuring is a more unarguably reality. when you get restructuring then you've got almost all the benefits of secession and won't be needed it. God bless this man and I hope the statue in Aso rock listens this this advice bcos him deaf.
Please check the comment of Oluseye Olugboyega up there, that is the solution and the greater truth.
You truly are a sound mind. I listened with keen interest from start to finish, and it takes an intellectual like this to get me this tuned in 👏 . In the midst of the failed state called Nigeria, intellectuals like this make me proud.
Eloquence and articulate personified, that is what you are sir.
This the kind of people I like to see in your studio pls 👌👌 smart and intelligent
This is a lecture, not an interview and I am here for it. Respect to Mr. Farotimi. One of my brothers told me that his book, "Do Not Die in Their War" is really good. I look forward to enjoying it.
This man is fantastic. Kudos brother.
Very articulate and intelligent submission from a well informed perspective,cant love u less Egbon Agba and God bless u more with knowledge
There is no argument that Nigeria is a land of brilliant men and women, this guy is one of those brain, I pray you don't join the bad wagon some day.
You pray..?
Brilliant insight into the Nigerian state by Dele. I look forward to hearing him speak. This is a man that is very passionate about Nigeria.
Listening to Dele brings this phrase to mind..."when wisdom speaks...". He nailed every point. The presenters too where on point with their questions. Thanks
This interview here is not for everybody, a certain high level of intelligence is required to comprehend everything Dele is saying. If you see anyone with contrary opinion with everything he says, don't blame the person, it's only show how far they can reason.
I love the presentation
Fantastic write up!!!
Fantastic write up!!!
👍
God bless Dele Farotimi
Who made Buhari a president? How did he became a president of a nation? In a civilised world Buhari is not even qualify to contest for local government election. How the man became a president is beyond me. Nigerians are brilliant people with too many intellectuals. Why Buhari?
The question I ask everyday.
rigged election which is one reason he should resign
in America, we blame Obama! 8Billion in aid to sub Sahara Africa and where is it? $300 million to aid electrical lights, where is it???? Follow the name and the $$$$$$$ www.politico.com/interactives/2017/obama-hezbollah-drug-trafficking-investigation/
People like Mr Dele and Sowore are the real patriotic Nigerians I ever known. I'm living in UK , I can categorically say that Nigeria is the hell on earth. No matter how rich you are in Nigeria you still going to lives with stress on daily basis. Is that a good life? Absolutely, NO.
Whaaaaaaat,? Sowore is not a patriotic Nigeria he campaigned for Buhari who was a dictator that over throw a democratic elected president and and destroyed Nigeria.
Sowore is not patriotic and he will be worst because he already showed his criminality
Thank God for a time like this when people like this man will boldly come out to open our eyes to things we should have known and acted upon before now.thank you my dearly beloved may God bless you .
I love your wisdom and well crafted words. That been said, you are saying the truth, making vital points without insulting anyone. It is time we wake up as a country and re-structure Nigeria or we break up if the North refuse to balance everything
Please check the comment of Oluseye Olugboyega up there, that is the solution and the greater truth.
Let restructure this country or everybody should go home periods
Too much knowledge and intelligence, one of the few eloquent Nigerians.
I will advise these good people to focus more on the breakup of Nigeria, Buhari won’t restructure Nigeria, his sole aim remains fulanization and Islamization of the Nigerian state...
Go and separate it and stop making noise biko
You are a real hero of our time in Nigeria thank you for your wisdom and understanding.
Best interview of d month❤💯
Highly informative and educative
Big thanks 2 Dele Farotimi and amazing Arise TV crew led by d highly intellectual Dr. Reuben Abati🔥🔥

"if you are asking those who are benefitting from the status quo to lead the reformation, you are asking them to commit class suicide." Right on point and I hope Dele is not only a classic orator and thinker but also a pragmatic citizen!
Articulate, philosophical and intelligent thinkers like Dele Farotimi, please stand up and speak!!! If you can't speak for one reason or another, *please write* . I love Mr. Farotimi's mind !!!
Please check the comment of Oluseye Olugboyega up there, that is the solution and the greater truth.
I have always been sweeped off my feet by the deep rooted analysis and elastic panacea proposed by Veteran Lawyer an Dele Farotimi. Many thanks but the work of conscientization, orientation and mobilization is in our hands the "citizenry "
Please check the comment of Oluseye Olugboyega up there, that is the solution and the greater truth.
Today's Morning Show is well appreciated, thanks guys for the brilliant questions and for the wonderful guest enough time to make his points. It is always a pleasure listening to Dele Farotimi.
And just like that, a week later, ENDSARS PROTESTS began! See this life sha!
Yea... He spoke like a prophet, but he was only being realistic and spoke the truth he saw around him!
Always a pleasure and delight watching and listening to Dele Farotimi💯
God bless u sir🙏💪
Just been evolved and enlightened with sincere truth. Three years ago interview still remains resourceful. Thank you Sir Dele
My Brother Dele , you're vast period , I agreed with you .
I love this guy, BURUKUTU, GOD BLESS YOU RICHLY
The truth is always served "hot". When I saw him as a guest for today's topic, I was confidently compelled to listen to what he has to say. It's not only unpatriotic but criminal act to demand for a right that belong to the citizens when you're a noncitizen. No fairness.
Wow, such a mouthful of knowledge. Sir Dele, we need men like you in our systems governing our way forward
This guy is intelligent. Restructuring is what every Southerners prefers but our internal colonial masters says NO to that.Therefore,those asking for break up are equally right.Something need to be done as fast as possible before the country implodes.This protests is just a test run of how it will happen.The army they are depending on won't know where to start when the day comes..Obviously, we can't continue in this way.God bless you Dele.
Listening to Dele Farotimi still gives me hope that there are actually people who are sane in Nigeria
Listening to Barrister Dele Farotimi in his analysis about Restructuring the economy gives me a little hope to call myself a Nigerian.
No to restructuring! We want a referendum!
same thing
Me too. Referendum for each tribe. Cannot leave Nigeria and join another Nigeria.
God forbid bad tin ooo
In essence, Barrister Dele is saying thst, if we break up Nigeria into different nations, in each of the new nations, a super class citizens will still emerge thst will make the rest to be second class citizens. In short, he is envisaging an idealistic country where everyone is a first class citizen. The truth is that Barrister Dele had reached theoretical saturation and he had come to terms with the fact thst oppressors in Nigeria have no specific tribe, they are found among the Ibo, Yoruba, and Hausa. I would say, the dream of having a country or a Nigeria where everyone is a first class citizen is a mirage....even in the developed countries, citizens have levels. But in our case and given the damage thst the ruling class had done, a Yoruba or an Ibo man has come to a conclusion thst it is better to play a second fiddle or the role of a second class citizen to a fellow Yoruba or Ibo man in the Oduduwa or Biafra republic. This has become a preferred option as compared to playing the role of a second class citizen to a Hausa or Fulani man. The rulers of Nigeria had done this damage and they have no shame whatsoever
You just took words out of my mouth. You are two steps ahead
What an excellent reply u wrote down here, we can never and we never have an ideal state or country, therefore, the best solution is what u stated in the later part, let everyone be on their own.
Lol...this is lacking an intellectual curiosity, to suggest you'll leave one master to another is the solution to the problem of class warfare on the collection of the majority of the people?
@@fataiadegbenro984 are you saying barrister Dele is not intelligent to make such proposition or thst the Nigerian people who are demanding for such are not intelligent? We need more intelligent propositions , Please!!!
@@hashimnasir1680 besides, the ruling class had resolved among themselves that the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable.....this means thst Nigeria cannot break. The worst part thst the same ruling class are not ready to make a united Nigeria work for everyone
I only wanted to watch for 15 minutes but couldn't stop watching till the end. God bless Mr. Farotimi. Nigeria shall be great!
its not possible because God is not man as well as a bigoted deluded punk likes that don't think critically about issues and objective enough while at it..Nonsense.
This man is great, you can hardly see his type in our present dispensation. He talks sense and with conviction and facts about present Nigeria.
Please check the comment of Oluseye Olugboyega up there, that is the solution and the greater truth.
Waoh Waoh... Please invite your friends and relatives to come listen to this. You cannot listen to this and sleep well. I have been shouting on the top of my voice unfortunately my voice cannot go beyond my room or my office. WE"RE HEADING FOR A VERY BIG BANG OH!
Dele Farotimi, may the almighty God keep you safe and bless you.. You made my day with your latest Arise News dialogue with Dr Abati & Co. You spoke a superior truth about Nigeria like no one else. Remain blessed. Count me in as a strong fan of yours. I live in North Carolina. E jowo ti o ba se se emi yio fe ni ago nyin lati pe nyin.
Asking for restructuring is taking away the Fulani Superiority Power (born to rule) and Economy and Political Power (Abuja) which will never happen.
Secession is the only way but it will not happen until the ethnic cleansing coming from the north has gained full ground in the south. By that time am sure Dele will be the one leading the secession.
God bless Oduduwa Nation and Biafra. 💪🏿💪🏿
You are a very wise ma
A very intelligent and thought provoking interview. Everywhere you look, it is obvious that our current system is not working. Killings, insecurity, avoidable accidents, collapsing infrastructure, even refineries we can not manage... etc. Nigeria needs restructuring. We need a total structural reengineering. We need to start doing everything differently...
Brilliant dude! He stated the truth and nothing but the truth.
Brother Dele your contribution will never be forgotten. #Lone voice in darkness
Brilliant interview, 40 checkpoints between Lagos to Lokoja and not one from Lakoja to Kastina.
And from Lagos to Aba is over 50 checkpoints,
That suggests a people under siege.
My point of disagreement is simple, if the Hausa Fulani insist on the dysfunctional status quo or "slavery" as the speaker calls it then secession or self determination becomes the only viable option.
Self determination is so real and lawful under international law , it is not a distraction, we fought a war in the past based on secession, it is real.
You said it all but Dele in all his intelligence has failed to observe that what he is asking for is not feasible under the circumstances
Please check the comment of Oluseye Olugboyega up there, that is the solution and the greater truth.
@@hashimnasir1680 I Beg to disagree. The unitary system is an enhancer of corruption and a suppressor of accountability . It is not easy for one to steal from his or her family on a serial basis without being caught or questioned. Abuja is no man's land and the average Nigerian has never even met their member of house or Senator what more of demanding accountability. I strongly believe that corruption will reduce in a devolved system or regional government. It is not so complicated , the system in Europe is designed to make corruption difficult through internal controls , we can copy a bit of that too . When we get to that bridge , we shall cross it. The present system is a complete mess totally unfit for purpose.
Correct!!!!... the idea of ending restructuring issue with.. " there should be no secession " this is what i see as reason why nothing will be achieved because they know, nothing will happen. 🤔
This is the most beautiful and informative interview I have listened to. Nice one to Lawyer Dele Farotimi and the Arise team.
Thank you God for a raising a man like lawyer Dele.
This man is so intelligent, I'm in awe.
Dele Farotimi is one person I feel has demonstrated thorough acknowledgement of the nature of the status quo to at least have a well deserved seat on the advisory committee for the reconstruction of Nigeria.
He's a national treasure.
Barrister Dele Farotimi, clear and unambiguous understanding of the Nigerian nation and make up is well appreciated.
1.The benefactors of slavery can never negotiate freedom.
2. Break up is absolute distraction.
3. Enough effort must be geared towards enlightened engagement of stakeholders to pursue Restructuring.
4. Failure to embrace peaceful restructuring will lead to catastrophic implosion. And there are obvious preparation by a particular ethnic group to catch in.
These are clear indicators of impending danger but the body language of the sitting government is outright denial, yet covertly preparing encroachment for colonialism. We must wake up down South.
Thank you so much Dr Reuben Abati and the crew, I salute you all.
God bless arise for the invite and time given to Dele to express his thoughts. One of the most eloquent and intelligent Nigerian to grace your channel. Thank you so much for blessing us.
Thank you Mr. Dele. This is the time to take back our country, speak in one voice and move with action in the same direction. I'm ready, ARE YOU?
This is incredibly eye opening. I wish i can spend quality time with this man.
I respect the intellectual analysis of Mr Dele. But I differ on the area of self determination, in negotiating the way forward all options must be on the table.
Mr Dele never eroded options being on the Table Mr Philip. Please go back and listen to Dele Farotimi again
@@zobottiano8446 You are right. His conclusion greatly emphasised this.
dele your analysis is always very clear i can listen to you any time and any where you are a lawyer with a difference well informed, well read and aticulate. we need more people like you in nigeria who understand issues of the amalgamated nations called nigeria. BRAVO DELE
Thanks to Arise crew for this interview. Mr. Dele you’re just a defender of our dear country. I wish everyone would hear him out.
Mr Dele Farotimi, believe me I always like listening to you speak on Arise TV News. You are truly a legal luminary and Political activist for the people of Nigeria. Oh how much I love listening to oyour interviews on Arise NEWS. Bravo to you..
You are said it all may God bless you for your true 💯
Great guy, I admire his intelligence, spotted the issues and proffered solutions. We need more of ur kind Farotimi, Godblessyou.
Mr. Farotimi, you nailed it..
Honest truth to power.
All along, I've just been wasting my very good time and data for listening to some thrash on the national issues, but the very moment I start listening to Dele Farotimi, in fact, my heart always leap for joy. God bless you Arise Tv, for bringing this gentle man to educate the public.
Can't stop listening to this epitome of wisdom
I like every part of Mr. Farotimi's speech. Here we are, 2024, restructuring is farfetched and seems to be unrealistic.
Another great brain I have never listened to! A professor I supposed who might not even wish to be addressed as an intellectual. Kudos to Arise for the efforts to get great and passionate Nigerians to dissect issues in the country.
This is a human of extra natural intellect, honest and rational.
My Dele Farotimi, l give my highest gratitude and God bless your lineage . I wish you are an lGBO of legends but all the same , long life.
God bless this man so much... I am so much enlightened by this interview
Right after the so called "countercoup" in 1966, which was in reality a mutiny and genocide against the igbo people, people had already demanded a return to true federal system with a weak center and strong regional governments. In fact, I think Ojukwu made the exact demand during the "peace meeting" in Ghana.

Great Guest with great ideas! Thank you Sir Dele Farotimi...
Very good information Sir. My Respect and humble Sir.
Yep!👌 My brother, Dele, you are absolutely correct....on points! Nigeria's key problem is in her rulership. We're yet to experience some sensible LEADERSHIP. Nigerians, in truth, have no problems with their neighbours. Nigeria, but for the selfish and heartless class, is the sweetest place in the world! We shall overcome.🙏
Mr dele is super intelligent and he is making a whole lot of sense
The sad thing is that, there are thousands of articulate and intelligent Nigerians in Nigeria and in the diaspora but, they are not given the opportunity to speak and if they ever get to chance to speak and they express their intelligent views, one ignorant, selfish, insecure, jealous and illiterate area boy will tell them to shut up.

Am so in love your speech.... Thanks
Weldone Arise! You are adding values to nation building
God bless you Sir abundantly in more wisdom..
Thank you for bringing him to this show
Thank you my brother for explaining it to them hopefully they’ll listen one day before it’s too late. Great countries follow the rule of law
That's One Nigeria that many of you are supporting today.
As long as your One Nigeria continues, that unequal treatment will go on, the oppressive system will never ever stop, but will eventually worsen.
And no matter what ever happens the truth can never be covered.
