Achebe will be used for sth more federal

Yeah I get you, but does it really matter, bro? Or you mean a new tertiary institution? I believe CAU will sell much faster both locally and internationally. Charity should begin at home or what do you think?

Thewhizzkid1: Exactly, it isn't a wise decision at all...Employers abroad will be afraid of that name@Odumegwu Ojuku..The school will be so underrated as people will consider it local..They are jux endangering d employment opportunities of the graduates of the school..It is not fair...The name doesn't sound too sweet to pronounce..How will they mention the name to their peers from other schools self? If it was given Chukwuemeka Ojukwu university of science and technology that would have been better..But that Odumegwu in d name...It really sounds local...Hope m not offending anyone..Jux speaking my mind..
Nonsense.
How is it different from
Usman DanFodio univ
Obafemi Awolowo Univ
Ahmadu bello univ
These three people were die hard tribalists and their names sound local too.
They have only stuck because the names had stood the test of time.

Where were u even born and which tribe are you from? Anyway, keep feeding yourself wrong info i won't waste my valuable time on you.
KingsJohnson: Which Ojukwu are they talking about? the founder of Biafra which has died with d ashes of history or which one again?

As far as i am concerned, Ojukwu did not fought for the Igbos and never wished to do so, rather for his selfish interest.

To those clamouring for Biafra, ask yourself d true meaning of the word Biafra, for me, i am a Nigerian and i am proud of that.

That new name is a tongue twister ... they can use it as a way to give non-indigenes scholarship if they pronounce it wink
Re: Anambra Varsity Gets New Name by Octaves(m): 1:10am On Sep 12, 2014
What is the fuss about? This name doesn't sound as bad as Obafemi Awolo or other horrible university names in other parts of the country. The only difference is these other ones have been there for a while and we got used to them. It's a good decision to immortalise the igbo hero, Odumegwu Ojukwu. So folks, get used to it.

From your post, you sound terribly uninformed. Smh! If Ojukwu hadn't acted, that ur mother could have been a victim of the genocidal onslaught of the hausas and today u wouldn't even be in existence to yarn nonsense. Ingrate! Mtcheew!
Thewhizzkid1: 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...

Eziokwu! So being a kind of national hero for igbos is not enough for igbo people to rename an igbo state school after him. Who said u have to invest specifically in infrastructure or education b4 u are eligible to be immortalised with a school name? Most igbo people are happy with the development. So park well.
EmoBoy: What did Ojukwu do towards education or infrastructure development in the east or in Anambra to deserve such?

Kasynpaulsyn1997: great wetin? Ansu is a big disgrace! Especially igbariam camp!

hahahahahaa! I can see Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University denied you admission, hence your beef with them. Bro, i know how it feels, I have been in that road before and knows how it feels. But you don't have to bad mouth the school, maybe the fault is from you. Maybe you were not good enough for them, maybe they don't want another block head in the school. Just keep trying, they may consider you next time!

That school is too local, and its students full of timidity. During the last NUGA in OAU, Ile-Ife, some of them were afraid to fly their colours before schools like OAU, UNILAG, ABU, UNIBEN, etc.

Which school were you educated? If at all you were in the first place! If it was a Nigerian University then I'm really questioning the quality of education you received. What made OAU, UNILAG, ABU, UNIBEN as you mentioned not local?

Thewhizzkid1: The name is kinda local though..So if a graduate of that school now should go abroad and is asked which university he graduated from, he will start saying
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu
University...No harm done anyway..I don't mean to offend anyone...But it's true..

MissBritney: Awkward....changing the name doesn't have anything to do with the system. Change the name, change the system and things will be better.
Didn't you read the original post? ANSU received millions of Naira for rehabilitation by the former Anambra state Governor- Mr Peter Obi just months before he vacated office.
The change of name was not effected to change the system or school. It was effected in order to honour the Biafran hero and to encourage bravery among our youth.

I don't see bad in that. Apart from honouring the late hero. Much should also be done to upgrade the school to an academic beacon of hope.
