Chief Olu Falae lost his son, Deji Falae, on Thursday 3rd October in the Associated Airline plane which crashed shortly after take-off. The former Secretary to the Federal Government said he
lost a political successor in his son. Deji, who was the Commissioner for
Culture and Tourism in Ondo State, led the state government’s delegation
to accompany the corpse of former Ondo State governor, Chief Olusegun
Agagu from Lagos to Akure, for the a state burial.
Falae, who was still grieving over the
loss, told the visiting Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu
Tambuwal, that he had reached the peak of his political sojourn.
“I was looking forward to seeing Deji take over from me, because I have reached the peak of my being in politics. I will miss him so much,” he said.
Tambuwal had visited the home of the chieftain to commiserate with him and his family over the Thursday plane crash. Tambuwal said Deji was his friend and
had sent useful text messages to him on how to move the country forward,
four days before the unfortunate incident. (Punch)

Rip handsome. Hope there is no foul play in dis crash.
Ah swear it's just plain sad! ..........My heart goes out to Chief falae.......See hin sweet young son.........Lost because of a Corpse that refused to die alone.....Mtchewwwwwww! May God grant the family the Fortitude to bear the loss......And Deliver us from evil..(being at the wrong place at the wrong time).
So Sad. May the soul of the departed rest in peace.
So sorry! Thats quite painful.
Ok sir! U wnted ur son to succeedu in politics abi? Which means all ye old politicions do not hav plans of allowing ordinary n qualified citizens to get to power in dz country,it must b a family affair! Hmmm well our living God is watching all of u in 7D
Dis is painfull may his soul rest in peace lili my comment
So painful...take heart Falae
So painful...take heart Falae
Tis man has lost his son, should he be concerned with who will succeed him in nigerian politics? Why do politicians feel,like being in power is their birthright? He should stick to the loss of his son and forget about politics for a day.
A father's grief.
Sad tale indeed.
He's At Peace That Dies!
jesus pls save us. I still wonder y death rate in nigeria increased drastically, back in the day death occur once or twice in every month.buh today.mba o di sie too much.
Life indeed ÈŠ̝̊̅§ a mystery. See fine boy, kai! So sad
RIP Deji, may God give Olu Falae the fortitude to bear this great loss
RIP Deji Falae......hmmmm ground dey chop people o!
I am sorry for your loss. I heard Deji was a good man from those in Ondo govt. But your statement bewilsers me. politics is not about familial succession as common sense is not an inherited trait. Politics is about selection of who the people want to push their agenda based on their comfort level with that person. Your father being a politician does not make you a oolitician. Look at political dynasties in the west and see for yourself if political rightness is hereditary. Try Kennedy dynasty -what happened to the generation after ted, robert and john?
Diz man ur juju no strong if nt ur son fr no die.....mak una stp 2 de mak noise.una kw wetin reali happen.evil men
Take heart Sir, may his soul rest in perfect peace.
He is an idiot is politics hereditary?
Ehyaa and the guy is such a fine young man RIP deji falae..!#doctorbobby
So so sad R I P deji
Rip Deji... we will really miss you.
Chief Olu Falae, I sympathize with you. God knows best, even if it doesn't seem so.
Rip deji RIP
Politics is so profitable in Nigeria that you want your son to take over from you? Okay o. But the same politics took his life. He was on official assignment as a commissioner when this happened. All the same take heart
the almighty God has caught up with dis greedy politician anyway i wish ur son a perfect rest in d bossom of d mighty father
All other people wey dey die like fowls nko because of you thieveing politicians? Didn't their fathers have plans for them too? It's payback time for you thieves. Una cry just dey begin. Mad pple.
May God help us wit dis plane crash so mysterious to me.....dead body wey tak many life wit am I fear u ooooo...God go really judge u wen u get to judgement gate. #i will never die any man death. Amen#
Politics is a proffession like every other, most business men want thr sons to take over, movie stars want thr sons to take over, thr is nothing wrong with wanting ur heir to continue from whr u stopped.
Shut up u idiot, selling casket is profitable too dats y MIC had his son in d biz. Every father wants thr son to succeed them and thr is nothing wrong with it. Only Lazy nigerians talk dis way and poor pple too, instead of u to work hard and create a dynasty for ur son to inherit, u r here hating. Ewu hausa!
It is well.I had d oppoptunity of meetin wit femi abt 7years ago,he was such a nice n lively man.may his soul rest in peace.
May God have mercy on u
Gbam ..infact his watching with 14D. Imagine the position is heriditary. Mtcheeew this conutry is in God hand.
So sad the young man died. But for the criminal dad talking about succession? I don't knw if I shld say ntoo. Nepotism.
See rich man ... Public fund is were ure creating ur dynasty. .taking as if you have an ideal. Let me tell you one thing. Change is the only constant thing in life. And pls defind working hard for me.looting public fund I guess that what u mean. Some people self.
My Uncle Deji was a great promising young man.. Still in tears, I'll miss U soo much uncle. But God knows best.. Like Ur Father said in everything we should give thanks to God, He is unquestionable.. RIP Dear Brother..
RIp
Here we go again! God does not do evil .The evil dat befall men is usually as a result of unforseen occurrence,consequences of our actions n evil caused by de ruler of dis present world.FAR BE IT 4 DE TRUE GOD 2 DO EVIL.
The key word is precautionary measure. people need to be careful with these politicians. you have to be prayerful to be in their circle. meanwhile i smell foul play for this crash. i dont know why i so strongly believe it was a set up. na Tunji Okusanya and his son, workers and this handsome boy i pity pass. ordinarily mr tunji okusanya does not accompany any corpse for his official outings. he will join them on site. i dont know why he flew with this agagu corpse plus his heir and staff members. jagajaga corpse that decided to take more lives with him. MIC gold played at my wedding and the owner is such a wonderful man with his son who does not in anyway deserve to die this way. The name sef agagu denotes evil. Looong hiss(mtshewwwww)
@haterslayer: guy!!! U dey shell gan-an!!!
-i be person pikin(sue me if ur papa get d money)
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace Amen!
And the man proudly called his late son "his political successor".. Smh. Politics is now a family business. Securing a political position for his late son, so as to ensure a steady flow of looted money. Rip to his son tho.
Take heart sir, Deji was a good politician that actually worked and looked out for the masses, this is coming from an Ondo state indigene. So hard working and honest, one of the few who wasn't about looting. He will be sorely missed!!!
Clearly you're an ignoramus who knows nothing about Nigerian politics. Olu Falae was one of the few who had integrity and lelft govt when corruption set in. His son was that way too. Get your facts right before your mouth invites curses upon you. Oh also read a book today, might actually groom your dim brain!
HHhhnm!so sad u re gone our dear Ayodeji,d last time I saw u was wen we brot our proposal 2 ur ovice nt knowin dt was d last time we ll see u.u ll foreva remain in our hearts our dear commissioner.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm short of words...happy sunday 2 y'll
we have a lot of bitter and angry people in this country that blame their predicament on every living thing i guess from these callous wicked comments MIC guy too deserved to die with his son since he should have used his gateman instead as successor leaving his son out.also madam TFC..deji rest in the Lord
if ur miserable fathers left nothing for you pls don't blame it on the falaes
U must be a miserable bastard u dis tasteless fool! U'r such an insensitive swine u idiot!
Wats funny here nw dats making u 'lolling' ehn stupid ode?
Some pple are just too foollish to be called human beings! FOOL!!! Mtcheeeeeeeeeew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Death has no respect,such a cute and handsome guy! Life is really a lesson. RIP

You are a bloody bastard for that comment.
This is NOT the time and place for your stupidity.
A man is grieving his son. A wife mourning the loss of her husband. His children have lost their dad. His siblings have lost their brother.
And that was all you could say. "Nepotism at its finest. Lol. Nigeria!"
Who cares about nepotism now?
You are a waste of space. Ridiculous moron.
Nemesis will surely allow people to "lol" at your expense in future,
Take heart sir. It is well
RIP Deji Falae, may God console the beautiful family u left behind
Rip Deji
U are a bastard...and May the Almighty smite u for ur stupidity...ur own cry will never end...
This people funny sha.....move the country forward indeed........well maybe you people are receiving your judgement from here....
God is watching the rest of una on projector screen
Ha !!! A ur family is d only educated in ur State? Selfish man
may god grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss
Ur words can tell ur background. MUMU oshi
Shut da fuck up, every good parents will want to see their child take over from them and succeed, his son jst died and ur sayinu rubbish, God is also watching u in 10D, smh!
The bible says "a good father leave for his children and great grand children inheritance" but is politics anybody's inheritance? If Dangote should leave fortune for his children, is it not diff from the one Abacha left for his. The Chief wanted his son to take over from him and he achieved that, but God showed him the superior by taking both the son and his politics. "Asiwere n ko oro Jo lai mo eni ti a jogun e" so pathetic. RIP HON.......
Anony 1.51pm u and dis ur "7D" I tire oh buh issorite i thot its supposed to be 3D. Rip to the victims. Take heart
PDP should as a party give this country a break.They have poured so many innocent blood.Its not plan crash,its accident or buko haram, fire outbreak.Abeg this bad luck is too much.They no de tire for blood.
Shallow minded bastards everywhere, insulting pple they dont even know. That guy didnt insult the falae's, he just aired his view. Only useless frustrated goats insult pple dey dont know. U all shuld get a life, be useful to this country.
Its painful. Such a guy wt great future. Wtn de wife go dp now? Hw person go morn dis. AGAGU na waoooo"!!!!!HHmmmmmm" me i no bi basket mouth.
U wanted him 2 succeed u while u seat bck nd do d godfatherism nd juju, is it ur family rite or ur village kingship inheritance, bcos there is moni in it right? 4gettin that there is God in heaven who is watchin all of u. Hmmm, wht a shame, I will advice u giv ur life 2 CHRIST bcos u ppl hv not seen anything. See d way u just caught d young man's life short bcos o greediness, mayb he wld hv lived lnger if he had follwed his own God given proffession. EVIL D@ MEN DO. Mama Lee, post.
So Falae....sorry you lost your son but when we want to challenge govt on policies that affect the masses like good roads and good aviation ministry, you all tow on the side of govt for positions and money. It doesn't only affect the masses but now affected your son. Sorry for your loss.
com na fyt??
How did u end up typing this rubbish and actualy think its good english looking at it urself, I pity ur parent for wasting all their money on you . Chaiiii Owojona
Toksyb
i ve read all d comments i dont no wat i can even say....than RIP....it is well
Calling people's fathers miserable?.. Or do u think physical wealth is the only thing a good father can leave his children? Careful on ur bitterness. U are obviously miserable one from ur utterance, even with whatever ur father would leave or has left for u. Seek Christ.
As much as I want to say RIP to the young man; I want to tell this to his father, Nigeria's government is not your family property. You should not be thinking your son should succeeded you in government. You should be thinking how to do the best you can for your people not how your son should succeeded you foolish old man.
Deji may your gentle soul rest in peace
RIP
lets imagine most of this posters of ignominable unintelligent comments understood simple English enough not to misread what the grieving oldman said....lets imagine this was a place where major issues are dealt with unlike here where witches and the powers of a decomposing body can crash a plane while the aviation sector stinks!....linda,there'd have been less waste of space by this imbeciles!
U know what? Maybe now that the rich dignitaries and there children are dying, maybe there would be pressre on the government to not put Airworthy planes on Air. It seems that every year we get 1 or 2 plane crashes in nigeria due to faulty unserviced and useless planes that would not even b fit to fly pigs in the states or its allies. But due to greed these airplanes are being commercially used In nigeria. It is rather unfortunate that these peole died but maybe at the same time it could be an eye opener to all of our government and politicians wen dey still put dese unairworthy planes for air It Could happen to anyone. So the sooner you all speak up for what's right and do the right thing. Unfortunately misfortunes like dese will keep happening. Instead of him tinking how his son could "succeed him" politically (which is mind boggling bicos I always thought politics was attained strictly by merit) he should use his power and influence to lobby government, fellow politicians and whoever he can lobby so that the system is changed and so that this sort of situation can be abated further in the future. Who knows it could have been any one of us, our fathers, our sister, brothers or mothers.
Auto corrector...... Its 'parents' not *parent *.
You're welcome.
didn't know we still have a bunch of half wits to start making dumb comments about a father who wished his beloved son to suceed him, May your own children never suceed you
