“Let Your Matter With VeryDarkMan Slide In The Interest Of Liberal Democracy And Activism Which Your Father Has Done All His Life” — Nigerian International Graduates In UK Urge Falz

Nigerian International Graduates in the UK has asked Folarin Falana aka Falz to let the matter with Verydarkman slide in the interest of Liberal Democracy and Activism which his father, Femi Falana (SAN) has done all his life alongside Gani Fawehinmi (May God exalt his mention) and others.

The group led by Ise-ore Chigo Elechi Odema cited that Falz is one of them from the University of Reading, hence the reason for the admonition.

In his words, sending an activist to prison is a mere change of location to continue fighting for the peoples’ rights/freedom. Uncle Falana did the same at his youthful age. He continued fighting for the helpless and the hopeless in prison following his incessant incarceration under military and civilian rule.

You must understand that the Anti Democratic Elements will be happy to have two activists of varied backgrounds in court. This can only mean distraction with respect to the freedom of the greater populace. The bigger picture is that humanity is in travesty in Nigeria at this time. Hence, the purported litigation may not be necessary at this critical time of our nation’s history. The winning of one activist over another is certainly a zero-some game. Think about the ideals you shared whilst at the University of Reading United Kingdom.

In all, a lot of notable individuals around Lagos had allowed similar matters to slide at one point or the other. People like Uncle Falana, Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele, Rhodes-Vivours, Braithwaites, Okoyas, Agbajes, etc. Kindly take a queue and think about the community.
