Come.... are you a member of MKO's family? shocked Or why is this matter causing you such pain, that you can't think straight? And the way you keep chanting the phrase "sophisticated morrons," shows that the term must be part of your surname, not so?

These IPOB youths cry more than the bereaved. MKO family did not complain over popular protest at renaming Unilag after Abiola, his kinsmen did not complain, but IPOB youths are eternally pained.

Now that Abiola family and majority of Yorubas are happy over the national award giving abiola and recognition of June 12 as an important date in the history of Nigeria, IPOB youths are equally pained.

Every thing to them is about Jonathan vs Buhari, their trauma over Jonathan's loss seem to be getting more serious by the day, LASMA start guarding the length and breath of third mainland bridge, some people might start jumping into the lagoon.

Jonathan attempted to honour Abiola without any consultation with the family of Abiola or Lagosians in general. That could be done only under a military regime. He was too politically naive to use June 12 for political capital.
Buhari on the otherhand consulted with prominent Yoruba leaders and the family of Abiola before he acted. Furthermore he did not make it only an Abiola affair, he also leveraged on popular Yoruba heros like Gani Fawehinmi, and gave it a national facade by bringing in kingibe. Too bad he did not include Henry Nwosu.

It's all politics.

We wanted MKO to be recognized in every region in Nigeria as a democracy hero not only in South West.
Jonathan renaming Lagos state unitversity to MKO didn’t give us what we wanted so our leaders rejected it. Buhari knows what we wanted and he made it possible. If iPod are not happy about it, third mainland bridge is always open.
Thank you Buhari.

Cos up till now am still looking for the offence he made towards the west that warrant such HATRED.

THANK GOD GEJ STEPPED DOWN FOR THEM so they SHOULD ENJOY BUHARI THEY LOVE.

IT WONT TAKE ANYTHING FROM GEJ.

Let's just call a spade a spade.
GOD BLESS GEJ.
You people always miss it. SW never hated GEJ. If you can think without been biased,in 2011,SW voted for GEJ,only osun voted for Ribadu. After 2011 election,if I may ask you,what was the highest political position given to Yoruba nation or can you mention any capital project GEJ carried out in SW?
Don't bitter about Yoruba political moves,it is allow in politics. Go where you can gain from. No one wish to be in the company of losers.

so in your mind you think that the democracy day will stand
why are you guys so easy to be fooled?
ask yourself why the democracy day was shifted to next year?
so you much celebrated hero MKO does not deserve a federal university named by him just like awolowo amadu bello etc.

well i don't blame you

facts remains that you guys don't love MKO like you claimed because if you do you won't be supporting one of the person that served someone who made life miserable for him..
that's why you guys aided in killing fela but today you celebrate him.
Igbos don't celebrate their legend when dead only we start celebrating them from their life.

who jailed abiola?
who is Buhari's role model?
and who are you supporting now?

lol

GEJ did NOT try anything! angry UNILAG was already a brand, with a recognisable identity - both locally and internationally. Changing its' name, would have killed the brand. Moreover,why change its' identity without consulting the stakeholders? shocked It shows how insensitive GEJ was, at that time. There were more than 3 Federal Universities in the South, that had no recognisable identity or brand, whose names could have been changed or used to immortalise Abiola. Instead, GEJ stupidly tried to do a cosmetic name change with UNILAG. And it backfired big time. Silly man. undecided How clueless can a president be?

The university of Ife was not already a brand and recognisable identity when it was changed to Obafemi Awolowo University?

The only sensible you have made...

Jonathan inability to push through with his position/recommendation is entirely his own fault.

A president should accommodate dissenting views but he should not be pliant.

GEJ fall my hand for the very first time by trying to rename UNILAG after Abiola. Abiola is a certified thieve and a coup financier who deserved no national recognition or whatsoever. The only thing I admired in IBB, Abacha and OBJ's administration is that they made sure that criminal remained and died in detention. if not that funalis always know how to play on the intelligence of Afonjas buhari wouldn't have commited that national mistake my remembering a gone and forgotten thief. Abiola should get deeper or lost in his grave.

mr man just admit that you hate Gej and just a bigot, sycophant or naturally dumb.
Buhari is a criminal terrorist
he's the worst president since mankind

if bubu tries it, his finger will also burn.....the brand Unilag is just to big to change....Jonathan did a very clueless thing even d abiola's family rejected it cos dy saw no sense in it...even abiola had a poly named after him already.....the west didn't fight against f name change cos dy hate abiola no but dy fought cos the name Unilag was already well know and believed to open doors...why change a brand name when it is making wave. Trust me had it been Jonathan had declared June 12 has a public holiday like buhari did, he would av been louded more than anything even more than how they are praising bubu now. Buh cos jona was an ineffectual Buffon, surrounded by ill fated advisers, he couldn't make an impact with June 12

Even if Buhari had done the same thing GEJ did, my opinion would NOT have changed, so stop peddling crap.
GEJ did a lot of good things during his tenure, but changing the name of UNILAG was a misguided, spiteful adventure on his part. sad
And no amount of insults from your end, can cover up his cluelessness in that regard. Anyway, one good thing you have just done however, is to confirm that "bigot, sycophant and naturally dumb," are a perfect description of your true identity. Those names suit you rather well. Who am I to disagree?

We now know who was and is still more powerful between Tinubu and Goatluck. Goatluck made a pronouncement on UNOLAG and Tinubu overruled it. Now, Buhari has made his pronouncement on June 12, even the Court cannot overrule it.

Next thing your people will complain why this government is opposed for 'no reason'. Meanwhile, meaningless, sentimental politicking started in your cradle. You can see the viscious web of destruction you folks are spinning.
