JONATHAN DECISION ARE ALWAYS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION...

WHY TAKE THE GLORY OF UNILAG?

WHO MKO?
WHAT IMPACT AS HE MAKE TO NIGERIA?
DO NOT COMPARE AWOLOWO TO MKO

GEJ DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT?

1. GIVE US GOOD ROAD (NAME THOSE ROAD ANYTHING YOU LIKE)
2. GIVE US ELECTRICITY (NAME THE COMPANY THE NAME YOU LIKE)
3. WE NEED FOOD (NOT GEJ BISCUIT (WE ARE NOT YOUR BABY))
4. PROVIDE JOB OPPORTUNITY (NAME THE COMPANIES ANY NAME TOO WE DO NOT CARE)
5. EDUCATION IS ALSO NECESSARY(NOT THAT FOOLISH SCHOOLS YOU JUST START IN THE NORTH)

PStylish: Hey guys.Relax.Take a chill pill.Its not the end of the world.MKO Abiola held Nigeria hostage for 5 years by holding on to his mandate. It took US intervention by way of eliminating Abacha first, then Abiola before Nigeria was set free.
Abacha could not take Abiola out. He was bribed with 2 oil field and a refund of all his campaign expenses but he won't budge.

And who said Abiola is not popular abroad?

Abiola was the only African that could sneeze and the whites will tremble. They feared him.

He promised to demand reparation for the ills perpetuated on Africans during the slave trade if he became president of Africa's most populous nation. That was why the US did all they could to stop him from becoming president.

All concerned should just take heart. You all will get used to it.

Too many kids on NL I tell ya.Susan Rica and Kofi Annan should know better and posterity will judge them too in the whole Abiola saga !

Quite obviously there's a blueprint for every good university in nigeria to be renamed one by one. Like i pointed out before, UNN will probably be renamed ojukwu university, university of calabar or uyo, will be renamed goodluck jonathan university, university of jos will change to either ibrahim babangida university or david mark university (or danjuma university) POssibly yakubu gowon university as well. And so on ad infinitum. You just wait and see. Unimaid, uniben, unilorin (sanusi lamido university), and other higher institutions with impartial names- just wait and see!

no problem with that, as long as the names are worth the honor.

obviously, mr jonathan does not know about "branding", someone needs to tell mr president that it took about 50 years to create and market this brand nationally and internationally, and changing it for some stupid political motives is just bad

there's a problem with it sweetie. Overseas you see universities bearing the same name for hundreds of years. There's a reason for that. When they want to rename something, they rename airports, not institutions of higher learning.

Ejiné: I don't really subscribe to the idea of naming established Universities after politicians. Looks nasty IMHO.

Why not name it after an academician? Or are they in short supply?

Now, coupled with the fact that Abiola was quite an illiterate man, isn't this rather weird? undecided

if they had named it after a poet or novelist, e for make sense... But a semi-literate politician?
Come on... Jonathan can do better than this undecided

If Abiola was semi-literate then you my brother are a cave man , by any educational standard he is better than you. A person who had a First class degree from the University of Glasgow and distinction from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland can not be classified as semi-literate

MKO Abiola was a great man. He can be immortalized in many other ways.
Can Obama or any American President wake up one day & rename HARVARD or YALE?
Can Cameron suddenly decide to rename CAMBRIDGE Uni?
Sentiments aside, UNILAG is arguably our own Yale & Harvard in Nigeria, or at least it comes close to it. The name is a brand, lets forget about the words ''pride'' or ''prestige''. It is bigger than anyone. You cant just wake up one morning & decide to change it. Its not proper.

This sucks.. I just don't like it. University of Lagos says a lot instead of that jaw breaking name. In as much as i love Ojukwu, i don't want UNN named after him. He should get the Enugu International Airport.Sorry.. Akanu Ibiam.

I though Ogun state has a university. That should be named after MKO. Leave UNILAG alone.

Can't you see the sharp contrast? All the universities above are the pride of their cities and they strive to live up to the good names.

I cannot imagine Cameron changing any of the above names without due consultations. As far as in me lies, there are better ways to immortalize the dead.

If GEJ truly accept Abiola as a National HERO, he should rename 'Eagle Square' after him and not just a south-west abracadabra.

Can you imagine changing Havard to Obama University. Or Oxford to Queen Elizabeth Univesity. Or Cambridge to Tony Blair University? What will that tell or their corporate branding.
UNILAG is name that was built over the years through hard work. There would not have been any importance attached to it if it hasn't connote some sort of meaning to some.

Imagine the number of people, corporate organizations that has their business built on that name. Corporate organizations uses their collaboration as strategic market entry strategy into youthful markets.

The President got it wrong. I beg to differ. This is turning corporate branding on it's head.
