But don't they already have an MKO University? Students are right now protesting outside the school premises and have even moved to Yaba. Most roads around that area are blocked.

Yes we no go gree Unilag-Maulag God punish GEJ.
This guy has totally lost it. Of what use is this in the grand scheme of things. Naija my country.
i don't like that step, there's one with the same name in Ogun State. Unilag's standard surpassed being giving such names for now.
O boy! see crowd.......
Why the protest?
Protest to what? Dey probably don't no d meanin of GCFR! Jonzers.!
Misplaced Priorities if you ask me.
Thank God my certificate boldly reads "University Of Lagos"
I mean, who does that? Just wake up and change the name of a Federal University.
If he cared so much, Wwy didn't he just build a Moshood Abiola University.
Who are this Jonathans advisers please. They are all blockheads. We have serious issues in this country. If you dont think Abiola deserves anything better, then let the man rest in peace.
Oya! Uniabuja get ready.october 1st Is just around d corner! Sanni abacha university wil do Mr Gej! Hehehe
dis is just d begining, u haven't seen anything. The name of unilag must not change!!!!!!. Greatest Akokite!!!!!!!!!!

So Unilag is now MAULag??? lwkmd! nice one Jona, nice one!
SOMEONE SHOULD TELL MR NO SHOE TO SEND HIS WIFE TO SCHOOL AND LEAVE UNILAG ALONE.
I don't like the test of this one bit! Is it just me or everybody? Well good.

Nw wen asked where u sch, u reply "does it matter?" LolLinda u've nt put any of my comment b4 ooo, its nt like they're bad or anything. Wetin I do u?
MAU ....Just add N to make it MAN UNI!!!
I have a great respect for the name of MKO in view of his contribution to, and the ultimate price he paid for the establishment of democracy in Nigeria.
.
.
However the name UNILAG is quite symbolical and is an epitome of pride the people of Lagos.
.
.
Renaming the institution at this time is out of place and amounts to trading away the legacies of our heroes past.
.
.
When will GEJ ever learn to understand the mood of the people he leads??
I love MKO and all, but this is insane!
I personally don't like d name Moshood (am not hating, I don't just feel it) but dt does not mean d school can't be named after Abiola, d guy sacrificed his life for us to be where we are today. In all, I think it is a political strategy, d name sounds funny though but dey will get use to it....It is well.
The protest is uncalled for, to me, I think it is unfair. The man did his best for us. Most of the people carrying placards, their fathers dead or alive didnt/have not achieved half of wat Abiola achieved in his life time. Am shocked seeing this protest everywhere . This is a lesson to those dt want to sacrifice for Nigeria. Nigerians are not worth dying for. If people can go to this length bcos of change name, wat abt his children dt are carrying d name all their lives.
There is no MKO University, wat we have is Moshood Abiola Polytechnic and it is in Ogun State, owned by the state government.
You attend Moshood Abiola Lagos University MALU and you call yourself a UNILAG BABE. #GODISWATCHINGYOU
ONOME says..........una no know Wetin dey pepper una for body truth.jow does changing the name correct the decay in the educational sector??How does it change the rot in the system??? As for the students una no serious o.Where is this same fight when there is no light,jobs,insecurity,bad governance,corruption???Nigerians I hail una o
Dis gudrock or watever dey disturb me for dis country even if he changed odas unilag is d best name for d university kuz lagos is a mega city y didnt he change uniabu mak him no near uniport or oau ooo lazyman(omo-iwo)say so....
Dis gudrock or watever dey disturb me for dis country even if he changed odas unilag is d best name for d university kuz lagos is a mega city y didnt he change uniabu mak him no near uniport or oau ooo lazyman(omo-iwo)say so....
Goodluck is a bloody idiot for this move. Like this is an issue! How can you wake up and change the name of a Federal Institution???
We have more pressing issues in the country to attend to. If the students don't like it, they should please reverse it.
He should have renamed LASU instead of the University of Lagos.
That's why they killed the VC nau. Fuck them all.
unilag will still remain unilag just as nepa will still remain nepa!!!
Wot are dey protesting for,did we have a similar protest wen IFE was renamed OAU?E be like say na d chics ds name change go affect pass o.
Really funny, the students all slept as unilag students yesternight only to wake up as MAUNI students.., I even foresee my own school (uniben) changed to sam ogbemudia university in d nearest future .
greatest moshoooooodu students, greatest moshooooodu graduates...rotflmao. he who pays the piper dictates the tune. unilag is a federal institution and the fg has the right to change d name and respectably after a legend of our time mko. linda if u like no post my comment becos i know u are a moshooodu graduate!! *wink*
what wrong in d name ???
Jonathan
Jona is so confused...˚˚°º**mtcĦeeww**º°˚˚ . Mapoly don get sibling...ℓ☺ℓ
Protest about corruption not the name of a university. We always pay attention to flies in our homes and not pigs sitting on our couch.
ghen ghen lets d drama unfold
btw i expect nollywood to comin up wif dr own movie on dis story.lol
ENGR EJIE KURTZ SAYS SO
OLAJIDE G:
I cant believe there 'll be a protest concerning these change of name...
MKO ABIOLA has done what no one has done for this country.
Please have a good sense of history..
This Jonathan guy is stupid self. Has he not got better this to do like weeding out his corrupt friends?
How can you rename a university without approval from the university student union?
Now, I say this is unacceptable.. what has changing the name of UNILAG got to do with honoring MKO and what he died for? What did he die for in the first place, GEJ is not doing anything about making life better for the average Nigerians but changing the brand name of a University that had been built in the last 50 years without due consultation. Stop fooling yourself Mr President and do what is more honorable to immortalize the dead hero of Nigeria.
This is meant to be democracy and not some dictatorship era. Let us be objective here, renaming UNILAG cannot buy anyone over, in fact, it disgusts me that anyone would advise the President to do so in the so-called name of honoring.
No to renaming of UNILAG to MAU, it is inappropriate and unconstitutional. He should stop acting like there are no more important things to worry about. He mentioned that we will create an environment that will be able to COPE with the current security issues, we hear absurdity coming out from the seat of power daily.. please, let us wake up and stand for what is right.
http://www.nairaland.com/949767/unilag-renamed-moshood-abiola-university
GEJ's regime is wack WTF!! Moshood or mushroom it foes nt Mk sense he still has bolo haram to deal wit n his here changing university names wat kind of person is he
Please let them leave Abiola alone. Noone should insult what he stood for.
This students dont want to read before anyways. This an oppourtunity to raid, steal and kill.
Why cant they name democracy day after him? or something
what are they protesting for! how does the name of the school affect their academics nigeria has turned to some else oh! it is a federal school so federal government has the right to change d name
"GEJ is plannin 2 Merge Moshood Abiola Uni wiv d Poly & call it "Moshood Abiola Group of Schools"
What a name. so not cool.
he just need a conflict in Lagos... Biko, MKO is not a Lagosian... Unilag cannot be remember like that.. cost wise it is not good
Jonah jonah is dis d main challenges we r facing in Niger .I tire o
Linda, what do we now call Unilag babes? Moshood Abiola babes???? Lol. Chei, Uncle Jona has just dropped the market value of these chics.
I taya o
i taya o he really need 2 do a re-think on dat issue.
Gej has finally gone mad aπϑ i so much pity this our country.tis a shame,a very big one, or how on earth can he do dat wen there αƦε̲̣̣̣̥ oda pressing issues to attend to,, like bad roads,poor infrastructures,poverty,insecurity aπϑ so much more....may god help us amen
Gej shld nt try us o.we rep die.Unilag 4 life,linda tell dem o.

This is unacceptable,Goodluck you just fall our hands.You have done nothing and added nothing to our lives.
Of all d problems we v in dis country, changing a university's name is a priority, Mr president, pls get ur priorities right!
And what was he thinking? I still want to know the motive behind his actions. Did he even ask the students, What kind of Democracy is it when they had no say.
Biko nu, what is the process of impeachment?? Need to do my research ASAP
What arrant nonsense!!!
Goodluck meets badluck.
I don't think I disliked any president this much. Even IBB + Abacha + Obj.
He can never do anything right in my own eyes.
He ll be better off if he parts with some of those billions he uses to eat cassava bread to start a new uni and call it whatever he likes.
He should leave the west alone and go to the south south for his naming games
Stupid Nigerian President! Instead of him to use his time and energy on issues such as boko haram, poverty, health care, jobs, light and many others, he decided to do this stupid name change and upset so many students that are clearly against it! In Canada there is University of Toronto, in USA there is University of New York, in England there is University of London! My point is that these countries name an university based on their major cities! Lagos is one of Nigeria's major city, so why did Bad Luck Jonathan had to change it to an ugly name like Moshood???? So people should celebrate democracy when there is nothing democratic about the president???
Please Linda, post this. My friends and I sought legal advice. We are told we can sign a referendum and have this reversed. If we have 50,000 votes, the constitution says the people can object to a new law or policy by signing a referendum. we started and got 63 votes in less than an hour!!! for us it not not about name change. We are just upset and annoyed that this is what GEJ chose to do. how does this translate to improved educational quality? we are tired of being hoodwinked by 'them' so we decided to let them know we have had enough. This is just symbolic-letting them know we the people know what we want! join us, it is more than UNILAG. it about letting then know we have had enough. http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/referendum-against-unilag-change.html
A very stupid thing from that president. Well i blame those that voted him
Congrats Linda, you are no more an Akokaite...you are now a MAUite! :-))
Unilag to moshood abiola, uniport to Duncan Mighty university, we better accept it before they change it to rashidi yekini university, Unilag wud always Unilag, nd Ǻ♍ proud 2 b an ex-student...#Unilag til death
Eyah....Linda they've changed your Alma mata's name, no more swag! lol
This man is too local.does the name sound well
There's no Moshood Abiola uni. There's Moshood Abiola polytechnic in Abeokuta. To me, Unilag will always be Unilag sha. Everybody will get used to the new name with time.
Is this all the idea Mr. President could come up with on a day like this: renaming a university? Well I'm not totally shocked that the country lack leaders for the 21st century; from the President to the CBN Governor and all, they've got no clue to what it takes to build a modern economy for their people.
Jonathan has started again..
Just to let you juveniles on this blog know, Abiola donated N1million naira to all the 21 universities (at the time we had 21 states) about 25years ago, on a single day.Something no one has ever done in the history of Nigeria. The naira was about N1 to $1dollar. I was in this same Unilag,and we all went ballistic that day.
However, i believe Abiola deserves better than this insult. A national monument would be more appropriate.Gej, stop listening to Obj, and use your head.
This Gej is kinda like a mad man.
what for ehh a whole unilag we no go gree oh we no go gree take it back to unilag we no go gree
Gej has issues man! He's jz being used n controlld and its affecting all of us wtf is Mau uni makes no sense
Just what these jobless children have been lookin for. They have finals in June ooh. Its ok to protest, but dont start your looting and killing. This President sef. You can do better for MKO now.
this is so silly.....he should be more concerned about 9ja's security!!!! our lack of steady electricity n so many other problems!!!!!! not renaming a university!!!.free education n scholarships would make a big difference!!!!!!.
GEJ and his confused and clueless ways. i was like its just a name tho i personally don't like the name buh wen i heard there's a poly already bearing d same name,i supported d protest. dis our president no dey try. now d students of the polytechnic will start claiming lag. lolzzzz.. and to think i want to do my masters over there,im gonna have to rethink oo. maybe i'll wait and work for 2 more years then save money and ask my parents for d rest and go do it abroad. i can't shout abeg! lol
And why do they have a problem with it? did MKO not have any impact in Nigeria? or did they want it to be named Okukwu University? I am asking ni o
I have never known anyone so stupid as this unreasonable president. Delving into matters that would not stop bh from bombing. The man just wants to razzen thenskl.. Mscheww am so angry
Of all the problems in the Nigeria; insecurity, power, roads, petroleum subsidy scandal, DAME, DEZEANI, BOKO HARAM, poverty, etc - renaming THE UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS is the issue. Oga GEJ, na wa oh... This is real confusion. Why not name University of Sokoto after MKO in the name of Federalism? Let us pray that God will give our president wisdom and common sense.
Imagine changing the name of Cambridge to Queen Elizabeth University.

Its a big shame that this students know nothing about this great man. Lets even leave June 12 elections, this is a man that cared so much about education and had launch several endownments for these institutions than any rich selfish nigerian. Now Jonah wants to delibrately rubbish him with the help of that old toad in Ota? That is not fair at all.God is watching. This is painful for us that benefitted from this great man.
Unibadan stds calm down, u guys are next..LWKM throway..MAULAG..hahahahah*devil laff* Jona! I dey hail ooo...Neni
wait o! r u saying they do not knw d president`s plan as per changing d name of lag ni? cos i dnt understand dis hullabaloo. but sha uncle gej y u dey announce bad news on happy holidays like dis na? na so u do 4 1st jan of dis yr. respect urself sir
Unilag has existed for more than 30 decades, changing the name is gonna create problem, univeristies abroad may not recognise moshood abiola university. Yes I think I get what GEJ ws trying to do respect abiola! But we have june 12 for that,he is ust adding fuel to the problems of nigeria. Why didn't Obasanjo name it when he was in govt, bcos he knew it was not neccessary. Linda pls post my comment
Unilag students are so stupid..... Their are a disgrace to this Country, MKO was a great man and they should be honoured that their school is being named after him.
GEJ might as well change "NIGERIA" to his father's name since he doesn't have anything useful to do than to rename a whole UNILAG... hisssss
our president has not finished with serious issues like poverty,boko haram etc in naija he's here renaming a uni...tufia!
Why is this man called Goodluck Jonathan "robbing peter to pay paul"
If at all you want to honour M. K. O Abiola. Why can't you look for a befitting place in Abuja.
You've never been in my good book.
Well, I'm still praying for you shah!
@focusb u must b very stupid, d student of unilag can protest all d want, its none of ur bizness, y nt change ur name 2 MKO, 2 prove 2 us aw much u lik d man, Idiot oshi!
Linda you never post my comments. Ever.
CHIGURL says...
Typical case of misplaced priorities,GEJ is such a weste!
Na wa o..these students don't even know what their priorities are, imagine a school that doesn't have an existing students' union to fight for their yearnings and they are yet to fight for the re-installment of that, instead of them to fight 4 good and improved education and so on, they are busy fighting because the school was renamed after a great man. Make una go rest jur cos this doesn't change anything. I rep babcock university
Jo is is an arrant fool... his advisers are bigger fools... why would u do such a thing. what does abiola have to do with unilag... Nada
Oh pls!!! dt Moshood Abiola was added 2 d name Unilag dsnt change d name. Atleast unilag is stl in d sentence. We wudn't mind Ikemba Ojukwu University of Nigeria, Nsukka. What a senseless protest by ds students. Pls gv GEJ a brk!!! Protest frm 2dy till 2mrrw, it won't chng anythng. Now I see naijarians dnt evn love d MKO, buh evry june 12 they wl b disturbin our ears. Hypocrites!!!
Wat is all d noise all abt its just a name and nt d whole school dat was changed so pls jobless students get a life
Market value has really dropd for d babes in d SKL. The name isn't sexy anymore. It now sound like moshood abiola polythenic. LWKMD. But uncle GdLuck u wicked sha.
GEJ is a confused leader,he needs serious marathon prayers.
As 4 d MAU students....make una take heart.lwkmd.
@least,linda post dis
Nigerians are the ones that are stupid here. Protest over nothing significant, for what reason??
The President needs permission from students to change the name of a Federal University?? Get outta here.
Make the connections people, on DEMOCRACY DAY the PRESIDENT honours a man who fought for DEMOCRACY. Does it make sense now??
That's the significance of it.
Menh...i just dey hear ooo,imagine GEJ 2 do dis kind tin 2 my school..its so bad oo we've got challenges wit Boko... amd other plights he cldnt solve. Lols...which kind president b dis,dis 1 na kitchen president.1st south south president wey fall my hand, woman wrapper.
There is a school and a stadium to his name in ogun state already....
If we remember what MKO stood or n d reason he died then we won't call mr president a dunce. Rest in peace MkO
We need 50,000 signatures. We respect Abiola, but NO we DO NOT want the name change. Please sign the petition and pass along. Thanks!!!
http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/referendum-against-unilag-change/sign.html
May 29, 2012 2:01 PM well said our certificate from unilag would not be recognised any longer in oyinbo land imagine MAU and the oyinbo would say i beg your pardon. this is really bad and no disrespect to MKO as he did a lot of good things
I'm a Moshilag babe, hehehehe!
And U.I shall become Arisekola Alao University. Amen!!!!!!
Make noise from now till whenever,its a naija thing to rename uni after people. They no go change am back. Them still try leave lagos there. Greatest Maulites abi Mausites. Na una no wetin u go call urself now
Great Ife did not make a fuss, OSU did not make a fuss, so wats the fuss about changing UNILAG to MAU. Your so called nigerian degrees/masters means nothing abroad anywayz! Stop behaving like rats and protest for more important issues e.g child abuse,domesmic/sexual violence, standard of education, unemployment etc. Foolish pple, msheeew.
Its sad to read these posts by 'future leaders' of dis great nation, Nigeria. I wonder what kind of people we have on this social media sites. Can't people just sit down and think like progressives? If you have written against the new change then you dare not refer to Jonathan as a dummy. For Christ's sakew its just to honor someone who laid his life for democracy, can't the martyrs of struggle be eulogised again by the govt? How does the change of name affects the standard of education? My alma mata,Obafemi Awolowo university was named after Chief Obafemi Awolowo and nobody protested against that cos people still had senses then. What has the former name "UNILAG"produced? More aristos and whores walking nude on d streets? I cry 4 d future of this nation.
U obviously dint pass unilag postjamb... #hihater
What is with this senseless protest?The president has the legal right to review the names of federal universities and roads from time to time.Dont let any hungry lawyer decieve you.....
Pls can anyone tell us the basis of this protest? MKO is not a hero? Goodluck doesnt have the right? Or the name is not sounding cool?...feeble and finicky.shallow and dumb students.how many good things have they protested about?this is the fruit of joblessness and decadence in our system.those saying the honour is beneath him and an insult 2 MKO are just daft hypocrites.im sure if they name a pipe borne water project after MKO,they wont complain but now that its thier university,they are saying its beneath him.that means ur university is really low as its not honourable enough for MKO.
Im sure if it was named Ransome-Kuti or Macauley,they wont complain! Now that its Moshood,they hate the sound cos ofcouse Nigerian local sounding things are razz to the enslaved African mind!Get a life,do something reasonable.All schools n people start with a name,its wat you make of it that matters.Obama sounds razz but hes d president so he made his name great.NN
UNILAG was kinda posh - but with MAU, shakara don end!
hahahhah...why has everyone forgotten that Abiola was the real ITT, International Thief Thief, who used the veil of democracy to redeem himself? Wow! let's not forget history folks...why is anything been names after this rouge? are you guys kidding me?
president badluck jonathan, wat d hell were u thinkin. anyway, i'm sure dis is 4 2015 presidential election. u will neva succeed.
u and who is we? No be only ojukwu unn! Dey shouldnt try that nonsense with my alma ooo
..Who are his (GEJ) advisers sef?
Confused presido....
This' a political strategy to distract people's attention away from other realities.His 1st year anniversary's here and as a result he's to answer perfomance-based questions and Malabu oil company indictements.@ Jonathan,while @ it how about changing ur methodist church in Otuopke after MKO too.I see ur advisers're having a big laugh @ ur dumb ass.
Renaming UNILAG instead of addressing the country's teeming problems is diversionary, off the point, clueless, divisive & devoid of logic.
What is the essence of this when there's a higher institution by that name already.. Abiola has a street named after him in abuja. He also has a stadium and a higher institution... Are we going to name every edifice after him? If the president so desires to honour him, why not name democracy day after him or even june 12?
The annoying thing is that this was most likely not done out of any altruistic motive but out of political expediency wrought on by the impending marriage of CPC and ACN... This was done just so to curry favour with the south westerners... In fact, the president has succeeded in achieving the exact opposite of what he sought to do. Playing politics with abiola's name dishonours, rather than honour the man's legacy...
All of a sudden Abiola has become a symbol of excellence, I understand he died for Democracy, but there was a time when raping and plundering our collective wealth with his Military friends was a very sweet past time for him, why do we forget so easily my people. That he won June 12, doesn't make me forget that Abiola was also one of the people that destroyed our country through corruption. I applaud the gesture towards him; however, Unilag is an institution, the name University of Lagos is a brand just like CocaCola, it has gone beyond the shores of this country. When I enrolled @ Georgia State University in Atlanta, I remember how much pride I had when the Admissions officer easily recognized the name of my school and how she sang praises of our students that have gone through GSU. It only pains me that the ashewos and yahoo yahoo boys are giving the school a bad rap. Back to my issue of name change; the problem with Jonathan is that he does not appreciate institutions, Unilag is a legacy, it is a place of pride for those who manage to get in. It is as tough as getting into an Ivy League school here in the States for those who wish to go to Unilag. Not that I want to compare Uniag to Harvard, but by our standard which one can argue may be no standard at all, Unilag is our Harvard, and I don't know that Harvard will change their name to Barrack Hussein Obama University just because they produced the first black president in America. By the way I thought it is only the house of assembly that has the power to change names of federal institutions. Unilag has produced very big and notable lawyers, this is the time to sue the shit out off the President's ass. No disrespect to MKO, but you did not leave us a legacy of indeed and in truth to have your name as the name of my alma mater. Greatest Akokites!!!!!!!!
GOD PUNISH JONATHAN!!!!!!
STUPID DUMB ASS PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!
UNILAG renamed MAU.... So ? Is this the first university being renamed? UNI IFE became OAU, OSU became OOU, BSU became AAU, OSUTECH became LAUTECH and the world didn't come to an end then, so why the hullabaloo about UNILAG becoming MAU?? Or d name no get swag ni?. . Lol.... The same UNILAG students went out enmasse to protest the annulment of June 12 elections in 1992. Why are they now protesting his honor ? How soon people forget, make una just me chi onu and embrace ur new name .... Greatest MAUites!!!...... LWKMD!
These protesting MAUlag students are just some dumb truants...
Omo onile like it. Atohun rin wa do not like it. Get use to it. It is here to stay.
Am sure u were denied admission....mumu hater oshi
Hey!! GEJ is such a fool. Please they should protest well. I totally cant believe MAUL. The name is so disgusting and not appropriate. They should start burning stuff and move to Abuja. This man is such an idiot of the first order. Leave the names and concentrate and more important things mumu GEJ, Illiterate of the highest order.
U are a daft human being...they have a right to protest if need be,mumu lame ass
THIS presido sef...go to Bayelsa and start naming nao...he just loves bad publicity....don't go to u.i. Oo
president GEJ requires an act of parliament to legalise the name change. We can stop the act by signing a referendum. That is what the constitution says. There is currently a petition being signed. We only need 50,000 signatures. We have 1795 so far. Enough talking, join us...
I think dis guy wuz high wen he said dat
Jona with surprises...Fuel Subsidy on Jan 1st...Unilag converted to Moshoodi on May 29th...Nigerians, beware of Oct 1st cos Jona go sell us to China.
Uni-Ife(OAU) are now having a giggle after all this years..payback time!!..
Anyway heard Moremi car park would still be packed with Aristos..so business as usual!!
To think one day, one of these commentators would be President of this great nation? Dont think so. These children lack manners and respect for elders. May God forgive you. This is disturbing
But seriously Jona is clueless..instead of him to ring in effective changes..he's busy positioning for 2015!!
What a name to give a prestigious university. Good luck should immortalize him but not by changing the name of University of Lagos. Abeg now. What now happens to moshood Abiola Poly or whatever. It sound so so local. No pun intended.
These silly children have exams this june ooh. Unserious lot. Olodo's. They want to stage another wuruwuru. Call yourselves whatever pleases you, but go and read your books. As for ex students, please get a life!
Protest happened when University of Ife name was changed to Obafemi Awolowo University, the name stayed.
Unilag babes now Abiola babes.
Linda, ex-Abiola babe. Loves it.
They have been MAULed lol.
lol, I personally don't get the hoopla. Its just so funny how some people here sound absolutely clueless... reading most of these post, its obvious commonsense is not so common. The funniest part to me are those insinuating that the president first get permission from student before changing the name of a Federal institution, or that it is unconstitutional for a Commander in chief to change the name of a Federal institution. You people really need to check yourselves. Wether you think more should be done for MKO or not, I know the same group will be complaining if money was invested in honoring the man. Like someone mentioned here, what better way to honor a man that gave so much for education than naming one of the top institutions after him? People think about it. And for those that think the name is not cool, well I can only assume that most of you guys are juveniles... Someone mentioned misplaced priority by the president, but let me call ur attention to and even greater misplaced priority... its the student that are protesting against a name change when there are more important and pressing issues about their on quality of education that they urgently need to rally about! I guess in that sense misplaced priority if the theme of Nigerians, lol! Everyone should just chill cause this protest and abuse is absolutely uncalled for!
This devil sha. A lot of these children dont even know anything. A lot of them were toddlers when we fought for june 12. Omashe o. That Americana talking nonsence,@anon 5.06pm, why didnt you parents keep you in Unilag now? Ok, they were not theives abi? Please its ok, call Abiola a foolish man sef. We can understand that you have no home training. What a wasted lot. The silly thing even thinks Georgia State University is a big deal.*shaking my head* wasted generation
Name change or not doesnt even bother me. Its just how nigerian presidents still govern like its the military rule. Like no transparency. Am sure name change has been a discussion and people have been consulted...
you'll think the students of the school could hav been consulted also perhaps... student union means nothing.
i just dont know wat d definition of democracy is anymore in that country...
Misplaced priorities. Is that the book they sent you to read? The name is not cool. Ewu.
Please where do I sign this referendum? I am currently in Abuja.
All of you knocking the students and the protests, do you know the meaning of having pride in your school? Do you just change a Brand just like that? Think Oxford University, Harvard University. We have spent 50 years building our name and its not something you tamper with.
This has nothing to do with MKO who we all respect but we have unnamed stadiums and other monuments more befitting. I repeat this has nothing to do with disrespecting MKO.
They are protesting the suddenness of the change without consultation even with the school authorities. This is supposed to be a Democracy not a Dictatorship. And there's the added error of duplication as another tertiary institution already has this name.
Now speaking as an Akokite: Dumb, stupid or whatever you want to call it, why didn't you all go and protest the relevant issues in front of GEJ's house before today. Your ability to lie down and take things deserves a medal. The haters abusing us, lets see your rejection letters. Lmao! Great Akokites!
hmmm...where will i start from..i dare say that GEJ is the greatest mistake Nigeria has ever made.
only ignorant people and those that lack intellect will say that what is in a name of a school..
i ask.. what is in the name oxford university and cambridge university in the uk? or Havard university in the united states...and you ask what is in a name? y didn't UK rename cambridge university to winston Churchill university because he saw the uk through the 2nd world war?
i am presently a consultant with Deloitte UK and the only thing i presented as certificate to get the job was my Bsc. finance degree from the university of Lagos and my work experience in Nigeria as a banker and most of all, God's grace. i do not have any other qualification from anywhere else apart from unilag (and the grace of almighty God)and i am where i am today a - consultant with delliote UK.my certificate was never questioned! what do u think would have happened if it were moshood abiola university certificate..let me add that i know of someone who brought another certifcate from another school from nigeria who's certificate was scrutinized and eventualy denied the job.
The university of Lagos is not just a school, its an international brand,a revered institution.you do not mess with an international brand that has taken years to build.
lets honor the dead yeah fine!-but do not be foolish and disrespectful to the alumnus that built that name because GEJ would not have chosen unilag if it was not already a great institution.
if he wants to honor abiola, he should change the national assembly house to moshood abiola chambers, let see him get away with that. foolish man!
You can see the kind of people rulling us and making decisions.Pure and simple stupid.I dont have the right word in my vocab now to qualify this dumb decision. God save Nigeria.Occupy Unilag now
i think they just dont like the name "Moshood" they feel its razz. Unilag will set an example to others
thank anon May 29, 2012 5:06 PM
Nigerians' short term memory will make Bode George president of that country one day...
stop comparing Awolowo to Abiola...that's an insult and im sure Awo will be turning in his grave see this comparison. were we no here when Tai Solarin, Fela anikulapo etc were ousting ABIOLA and his theft? MKO na godfather of thieves. pls go and ask your parents. he even coverted muritala's wife
Hahahaha...MAUites have been mauled by President Jonathan.
Lwkmd!!!
So Jona wakes up, removes subsidy and also wakes up and renames a pretigous university and we call his Democracy?
Ode, go and ask your parents if Awolowo did not steal, including your father.Thats why you are his slaves. My parents told me Awolowo started tribalism in this country.
He not only coverted muritalas wife, he coverted your mother too. Nah person tell muritala wife or your mama to open yansh? please talk better talk and stop being petty.
This bush Akokites or whatever you choose to call yourselves, you are actually made fun of by us that school in the Uk and Us. I cant imagine going to an institution such as yours with old men picking girls up, people writing exams for you and yahoo fraud.Every degree from your school is questionable. Goodness,enough of this praise singing about your dead institution. Live with your new name, dumbfucks.
i cannot wait for jonathan 2 leave dat post just causing trouble up nd down is boko haram not till dere?he is busy changing d name of a skool ode oshi.
where is my comment linda?
Gej, please change UNN to Emeka Ojukwu University. Most importantly though, change Boko Haram to a name that will mean that they love education and peace so they will stop the bombing.
Read several comments and not disappointed that a few of the comments (mostly the beef related ones) have fish Brian just like gej. Naija has so many unresolved issues, but renaming things is always a soon for the idiot leaders. Wow it's soo amazing the the unfortunate ones that can't get into unilag by hook or crook r really beefing.
I want to speak from both sides of my mouth. We have so many issues at hand that the President should address, standard of living is on the down low, electricity is bad etc. I feel that should be the priority.
The other side of the mouth, what effect will the change of name have on the school except that Unilag is a world known name. Will the change in name affect the standard of teaching in the school, will the school fees increase or does it cease to be a Federal University? We are talking about M.K.O here oooo, the person that paved way for democracy.
Sincerely, i do not see anything wrong in the change of name, if UNI-IFE can be changed why can UNILAG?
You made sense my dear
May 29, 2012 6:47 PM where can this be found???? spread it round on twitter and face book and the signatures would pass 100K so show us and we are ready to sign nonsesne MAU ko MAUY ni UNILAG it is and stays
gej that was not necessary but then again why are students protesting like mad?are they that jobless hiss
People look at Abiola as a saint.This man defrauded Nigeria.Nitel as we know it was part of how he made his money with Babangida,a man whose sexual urges had no boundary.Please is only in Nigeria that i know that men like this are been placed on a pedestal, name National stadium after him.He made his money from government and the military juntas,he dined with the devil and the devil finally got him.He was a kind man no doubt but he got his wealth from nigerian government.He would have been a president like dumbo because he also had no shoes and the numerous womenhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
