funky medina: bloody fisherman ..finally come to his senses

Denn:

COnstitution? how well do you know the constitution? Unilag was set up by an act of parliament and not the constitution pal.

lets stop this 'i sabi pass them' attitude

the guy for once swallowed his pride and reverted a wrong proclamation and we all sit on our cushions and mock him?

SMH

And what did this "act of parliament" came together to do
To drink beer and wine I guess.
Just keep "stabbing" urself with ur own words.
Again, u can continue SYH for all I care , it will soon fall off , and don't hold me responsible when I'd does

crackhaus: And when we call you(Jonathan) a retardeen, you think it's because we're haters? No sir, it's because you keep giving us a multititude of reasons to moniker you 'Retardeen'...

Myself2:

They're too blind to see
The president could have stuck to his guns and made things difficult for the agitators.Last time I checked,Unilag was a federal university, there are so many ways the school authority would have been blackmailed with subventions and grants,and in no time,they would start filling out forms bearing Maulag just so they wont be starved of funds. Abi if he had done that,is it the immature noise makers on nairaland that would havee bailed out the institution?
Much as Maulag sounds like the name of a shrine,there is really nothing much between it a Unilag as a name

Off point, my friend GEJ realized his mistake, hence his reversal, believe u me if it were by his powers he would have stuck to his guns, why do u think he reversed his decision Just think about it,
"and pls pare me the listening ears tales"

emmaBS: Yet another reason for us to believe Jonathan is a trainee president.

chief batiatus: The president should be hailed for his retraction and not scorned further, I keep saying NL is full of teenagers, so if u contested something and won, then u think its time to flaunt your victory? Let me tell you a real retardeen would not back down and there is nothing anybody will do about it, go and ask what protest went out when Ife was named OAU and what happenend?. GEJ has a listening ear and he has demonstrated it. This calls for more respect for GEJ. I hail u sir

Even God himself does change his mind with the prayers and intercession of the faithful.so, what's the big deal!

genxris: I said it before and i stand to be corrected that a typical yoruba man (including some non-yorubas that grew up in youruba land) is only good at opening their dirty amala mouth to insult and abuse their fathers.
Mr president has reverted the name back to UNILaG so why insult him for listening and doing the bid of the people,of course u and i know that if it were OBJ he wouldn't even give any of you hyprocrites the chance to agitate for a name reversal not to talk of agreeing to obey the people.
Nigeria can never be pleased even if King Solomon with all his wisdom rules Nigeria i bet you their must still be haters and never say good people that will paint him as the devil himself.
Why are we so torn apart in everything or move by the government.

israel007: Lol.

It's not even in his power to make uturn or forward match. There are certain procedures to be followed and he just realised the battle against him had been won so to save his face, he's saying making a u_turn. Talking as though he's doing someone a favour by saying that.

U think unilag is like ur sitting room where u can change the arrangements as u wish.

Denn:

he reversed his decision because of the following reasons:
legal due process was not followed (note it was against the act establishing the university and not the constitution as you earlier quoted)
the name change was intended to appease to the south-west by immortalising MKO, a renowned activist from that region, this backfired obviously
there was no need to continue a non-rewarding fight....the people whom he wanted to please were obviously displeased.

On the question of if he wanted his decision to stand, well...its possible. here is how:
he would have sent an ammendment request to the legislative arm
his peeps would have lobbyed and influenced the assembly peeps ....ghana must go bags could have exchanged ownerships etc
the name change would have been ratified by the legislature and pronto......MAULAG stays


but doing a CBA, Cost to Benefit analysis, its evident it wasnt worth the fight....
