rhymz: dude, the claim of Abiola graduating with a first class is BS. I am yet to see a recognize source with such claims, so far, what I have seen are different accounts of what he studied and got a 1st class for. Some say economics, another says account then there is another claim of management. . . Guy, these larger than life discriptions show it is all about embelishment jare!! The man was a politician remember He can spin his story anyway he wants.

porka:

First time I am hearing people chose school because of the name, i.e. Alphabetical name and not name as in reputation or brand.

This seems to be the main and only reason the students are on the edge.

In that case, then they lack self esteem.

People build name.

People make name sexy.

Human beings build brands, brands don't built people.

It is not the other way round.

What is sexy in ordinary Bush?

What is "tooch" about Aliko Dangote ordinarily?

What is so romantic about Obama?

What is the big deal about Gates?

I mean, who would want to name his/her child Laggard?

It is part of Africans obsession with mundane things.

No one has even mentioned the financial cost of the name change.

From the letter head to the sign-post, to the website.

All you hear is "Akokites" as if the Uni has been taken from Akoka.

I actually don't know why these students cannot "tooch the name it up" if they are really that "tooch"

Dude u must be very misinformed, everyone knows MKO was very brilliant. He was always amongst the top three students in classes he attended. U think na by beans to come from nowhere and be a multimillionaire in dollars?

Pukkah:

The fact that Abiola studied Accounting (not economics) and graduated with a first class was publicly known by informed people BEFORE he joined politics in the second republic. It did not start today.

Pukkah:

What really are you trying to say? So you find some people's name funny right? Do you realize that that is relative and a matter of subjective opinion? So which names don't sound funny to you? Stop looking down on others...it's not good.

ikdom: The great ZIK of Africa said before he died, that he will rise from his grave if University of Nigeria Nsukka is renamed after him. There was no UNIZIK at the time he made this statement. The honour, pride and legacy in the name Unilag has just been ripped off, let's see if the new generation can resotore that same pride, honour and legacy to the new name MKO Abiola University. Great Akokites!!!

rhymz: publicly known or public propaganda? Lmao!!! Guy go and verify your claims jor. Abiola was not an upright man afterall. Even fellow detribalized Yorubas will tell you without mincing words that Abiola was a dubiois character. Little wonder there is a serious protest against the move. .lol.
Lets be sincere and call a spade a spade. The real reason behind the strong opposition to the renaming of UniLag has more to do with the character of the man whose name was used. I refuse to fall for all that shout about UniLag being a brand bla bla bla. . . Abiola does not deserve the honour of being named after a reputable school like UniLag. He was a politician who rode on the back of a tiger and eventually ended up in the belly of the tiger. June 12, in the real sense was not about Abiola but democracy and the real brave Nigerians that died defending the mandate they Nigerians gave to him, Abiola who unfortunately bailed out of the country when ordinary Nigerians were dying en mass fighting and defending the man. I have little respect for the man on that basis I believe that is the true reasons people are against the name change above any other thing else.

1025: Joe just changed the name of the school to Mashood Abiola University and the students are protesting now. What do you think?
Let's engage in dialogue(as academicians) and not risking our life in protest. Life loss never regain,THINK OOO.....

rhymz: Will you stop writing nonsense and spreading ignorance. When did Zik make such a Dumb statement? Are they yours or Zik's....rubbish!
