He was said to had died last night. Ganiyu Oyesola Fawehinmi was born in April, 1938, he dedicated his whole life to the defence of human rights and condemnation of all ill government polices, fought the military junta with all that he had.
Here are 20 facts about Gani’s life, background, and travails as an activist.
“The events of Saturday and Sunday the 22nd and 23rd October, 2005 which have thrown the country into mourning should never be allowed to repeat themselves. We do not want another plane crash and if you bring in another wife before you constitutionally quit office on 29th May, 2007, please do not allow her to go for a cosmetic surgery for beautification again. We cannot afford another death of the President’s wife in Aso Rock”. Read full letter.
“The disappearance of Charles Taylor from Nigerian soil is a humiliating disgrace to Nigeria. Obasanjo must explain why this happened.” – Gani Fawehinmi
“There is nothing new in the speech. It is the same old wine in new bottles. It’s a disappointing statement. In fact it is a disastrous speech.” – Gani Fawehinmi
“I’m not surprised at this result, I’m saddened, not surprised. This government will do anything to keep its power by deceiving the people.” – Gani Fawehinmi
“This is incredible. This is fantastic. This gives us hope that something good will begin to happen soon.” – Gani Fawehinmi
I am not one to jump to conclusions on issues, especially when I am not in the show. As such, I wouldn’t chastize Vic or Loy except for their inability to settle things within themselves – afterall they are family. See the bashing.

Chei, I thought it was all settled o. Until I saw it this morning.
For me, I wouldn’t bash an enemy online, talk less of a brother. These dudes have done it and as someone commented here, they will laugh over it someday.
That’s not my business though, my concern is “Who will fill in the gap?” and other close questions as well. I have learnt a lot from the whole saga, and this is my take:
My advice to Vic & Loy, forget about startupsnigeria.com! Vic, sell outrightly. Loy, lick the wounds. Forget the startupnigeria.org, move on. Start techchop.com (I had once referred to Loy as our own Michael Arrington a la www.techcrunch.com, and my opinion on that still remains the same) or keep the game up with your www.loyokezie.com.
For all of us, we will keep doing our stuff and supporting those who do their stuff well too. Nigeria is getting better for all of these, and soonest our 150 million population will start making sense as far as the web, internet and social media is concerned.
