afam4eva: I wonder what Unilag students will do next.

elampiro: Much ado about nothing.

Demdem:

options are limited to be honest for them. they can still proceed with the court case and test this or remain calm till the end of this dispensation where probably a favourable govt can rename it back.

onthefence:

And only the Senate can amend the Act?

Beaf: O ti tan!
Great MAULAGians, go back to school.

MKO has been duly honoured. He was a great man indeed.

Alxmyr:

I never said.
Beside, what house will do is on concurrent. And it still does not change the fact that the amendment is minor and will not take all the long process that many of MAULAG student want.
However, there is a way out. When you collect ur certificate, scrape the MAULAG part and replace it with UNILAG. Since it sounds better. Chikena.

Mrkuvuki: Most of the students protesting against the name change were less than 5yrs old during june 12...they will never understand

~Bluetooth:


I doubt if any government is going to amend it.Any student who doesnt want the name can do a change of school or better still tear up his certificate if he finds MAU on it.Why is everybody taking these so called student serious ?

Laila Ikeji: Against public opinion and massive criticisms, the Nigerian Senate has approved the renaming of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) to the Moshood Abiola University (MAU).


In a report gathered by Ascology News, the Senate approved the renaming bill which was sent earlier in the week by President Goodluck Jonathan to bypass any embarrassing rejection of the name-change in what many Nigerians saw as illegal and unconstitutional.

Alxmyr:

Be informed.
The passage is the amendment to your so-called 'Act establishing Unila'.
And the amendment is a minor amendment to the bill. Its just an amendment in the short title of the bill.
That is where many of you protesting and shouting due process got it all wrong.
In this sort of amendment, there is no public hearing.
Its just one thing that can be done with in just one legislative sitting, except it is not popular with every members.
But unfortunately, most of you undermine the intelligence of GEJ and he beat you all to it by presenting 2 other bills alongside the one of UNILAG.
These two other bills seek the same thing, and they are popular with members.
It will be extremely out of place to pass the other 2 bills without passing the MAULAG bill.
As to the court, the court does not operate on emotion or popular opinion, it operates based on fact of the matter.
Besides, court interpret the law and does not initiate or make a law.
So go back to your school, when you collect your certificate with MAULAG on it, look for a tippex, erase MAULAG and write UNILAG.
Simple as A B C.

So you do realise and admit that the House of Reps should have a say in this and they have not been involved? Can you please be less emotional and we engage ourselves. Next.

afam4eva: I wonder what Unilag students will do next.

Demdem:

Never say Never

mai gaskiya: sucide off course atleast d lagoon is large enuf 2 contain d idiots

one.east:
This is a welcome development for the Yorubas who 'loves' mko.

Long live; Mushood Kikiola Abiola University (MKAU)

Alxmyr:

House of Rep received the letter the same time senate received the letter from Mr. President.
They can take up the matter any time they wish. It still does not change the fact that the three bills will be consider together or concurrently.
As long as one of the three bill scale through, the remaining will do. Maddibo Univ. of Tech, Michael Okpara Univ. and Mosshood Abiola Uni. the bill for an acts to chage these names will run together. You cannot pass Maddibo Univ. of Tech. without passing MAULAG bill. That is where GEJ knocked out his critics.

berem: gbam! end of discussion. MAULAG students should better get their arses back to school[b] before GEJ changes the name of the school again to DANA UNIVERSITY![/b]
