Odiegwu!
But seriously, I hate when they have to name universities after people, most especially when it involves renaming an already existing university. The other time I think it was Udenwa or was it Ohakim that renamed Imo state university to Evan(s) enwerem university.. and following the same trrend, GEJ came with the MAULAG disaster, Moshood Abiola Unibersity
Chaii!

:
Yeah..Me too..I think d reason why some state schools have been somehow underrated over d years is because of the change of name..For example AAU, MAULAG and others..I think these universities would have been more recognized if they still retained d name of their state..Imagine delsu being changed to Onanefe Ibori university..#lol..

Kasynpaulsyn1997: i'm anambranian by birth(nnewi) and also an enugu boy(origin) but believe me.......this is not a wise decision by the state government!

if you like be from mars, your argument makes little sense.
what makes a school is the quality of education, nothing else.
i remember vividly when nnamdi azikiwe university started, it wasn't accorded much respect, but
today, it is one of the most respected schools in nigeria.
the fate of the school (and its graduating students) depend on the quality of learning going on there.
names only piggyback quality of education, not the other way round.
COOU may even become Nigeria's harvard sef.

the bolded makes no damn sense at all.
so, employers must always be abroad? chai see logic
you mean that our future greatness depends on outsiders?
anambra, or even SE Nigeria can develop into an economic hub that attracts people from outside, who
must then conform to our local values, and respect our heroes like Ojukwu.
get used to it, some real people have real reasons to call Ojukwu hero.

you are saying that ojukwu's name will taint graduates of the school, making them unemployable by people who might not like ojukwu, some of which are foreigners abi?
who told you that the same foreigners won't look for jobs in anambra state of nigeria tomorrow?
you people need serious national mental reorientation to start believing in yourselves.
i bet you that some of you will attend an idi amin university in uganda, and brag about it, but will diss Ojukwu university because you know where he is from.

COOU all the way.

Hmmm...I didn't say that either..Try to read my earlier comments and u'll see when I mentioned that if the school was to be named Chukwuemeka Ojukwu University of Science and Technology, it would have been better...Is Ojukwu not still there?

why not the state named a new university than changing the name of the old one??because if you ask me,i will tell you that ojukwu make a big mistake during the war and that is what the Igbos are suffering today......he wanted to fought war alone,he rejected the offer from other nations,Biafra should have been the best country by name if Ojukwu agreed with the foreign allies ......anyway.,....it is a welcome development..COOU

EmoBoy: What did Ojukwu do towards education or infrastructure development in the east or in Anambra to deserve such?

He did absolutely 0 zero did you read it well ZERO! Let us stop fooling ourselves I was not born at the time but lets just say I frequent Bianca's Palace in Enugu all my life and he does not care about Nnewi or any part of Igboland.
Before spewing insults tell me what he did for Igboland before, during and after?

sorry to say but d name sounds ugly

He jux wanted to gain power..And he wanted to gain it by all means...He cajoled d gullible minds of d Igbos into believing they were fighting for themselves instead of fighting for him..I feel sad anytime my mum(an igbo) tells me hw she lost some of her relations to d biafran war...What even made me angry was that when I asked my parents if Ojukwu was killed, they said no, that he was granted asylum in another country..After he wasted many Igbo lifes...

Your Mum did not lie to you, those are just the good stories.

Would the students learn how to runaway

I'd have preferred Chinua Achebe University. That sounds better refined and more academic in my opinion.

EmoBoy: What did Ojukwu do towards education or infrastructure development in the east or in Anambra to deserve such?

He told his nnewi brethren to invest at home.
That they heeded to, significantly.

Achebe will be used for sth more federal

ikes9: Will changing the name of the school
improve its infrastructure and facilities
#ForTheLoveOfBiafra

Will changing the name deteriorate its infrastructure?

lurdEazy: Dey shud jst create more schools instead of changing names.. smh @ d state govt.

more of which schools?
How many state universities should be in anambra?

Dats no name,its a sentence
