Check what made me send d guy back to Google den come back and apologise for calling ya fada names. Was Harvard university named after someone? Who was that?....private or not! Den d fact that d school is private make d guy i quoted even more stoopid for putting it on d same argumentative pedestal as unilag, which belongs to d FUN.

playboy19: So with all these faux pas over and over, could it be that Mr Jonathan is just overly dumbb to realize that he's being pushed to do wrong all the time? Isn't it rather obvious that he's working with the wrong team? Or am I thinking too much of this man? I mean expecting too much from his dumbness? Damn, i think i'm gonna be sick.

Deep Sight:

The President is the VISITOR of the University of Lagos. From the way you write though, I doubt you will understand what that role infers.

ba_aliyah: I grew up to know MKO as a pillar of sports in Africa. He also had a football team. In my opinion Abuja National stadium should have been named after the man.
Naming a school after him is not bad but the choice of UNILAG is good enough

snoopy: I can see a lot of people are taking this issue the wrong way. First I start with those who say its just a name and nothing more. what is in a name? A lot is in a name. In our African setting, people assign names to their Children based on religious, philosophical or cultural affiliations and the name is believed in some cases to have a significant influence on the destiny of that child. Not a few have attributed the current political success of GEJ to his name "goodluck"
Now Unilag is more than just "a name". Its a brand identity that has been worked on for over 50 years and over this period attached class, panache and international recognition to this brand and to just wake up one morning and kill it all without recourse to the school authorities and governing council is just wrong and undemocratic! MKO abiola is a revered individual and deserves to be honoured but there are better ways of doing so and not in a manner that is in sharp contrast to his cause and recognition which the "surface motive" of this ill-adviced move is hinged on ( I call it surface motive because I see a lot of political colouration to score cheap points within).
Why would people like iyabo obasanjo-bello refuse to rescind their maiden names completely? Simply because of the brand that name has created. A name which can instantly fetch her respect and favours whenever and wherever she mentions it.
Pls its easy to judge from one angle when not on the harsh receiving end of a policy. Take time out and see things from the other angle and see if its indeed worth killing a name built for 50 years over cheap politics!
