Afe Babalola Day: Falana laments youth involvement in internet fraud, urges legitimate technology use
Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has voiced worry over the number of young Nigerians sliding into internet fraud instead of honest work. He made the remarks at events marking Afe Babalola Day, which honours the veteran jurist and founder of a university in Ekiti State. Falana urged the young to study the life of the man being celebrated, pointing to determination, education and the productive use of available opportunities as the way forward. In his view, those qualities can lift people over both personal setbacks and the barriers society puts in their path. He also pushed the youth to apply technology in legitimate ways rather than through scams that end in courtrooms and tarnished names. His message carried weight coming from a senior advocate who has spent decades defending ordinary citizens. The occasion gave him a national audience for a warning aimed squarely at the next generation.
Mr Falana urged young Nigerians to draw inspiration from Mr Babalola’s life, stressing that determination, education and the productive use of available opportunities could help them overcome personal and societal limitations.
