udhedhe: This student do not know what they want, MKO Abiola university of Lasgos still have UNILAG in the name so am just amazed at them. They should just take UNILAg out of the full name and carry on beside is it the name or Degree they want to earn.

That is our value system. Name over substance, kpali over knowledge. Sorry. And we thought that they were in a hurry to graduate. If Harvard is changed to Barack Obama University - BOUNTY, don't go.

Furthermore, it is not the name of an institution that makes it popular rather the quality of education it gives.

And just like the Toll Gate protest and the Fuel Subsidy protest, these students will get thoroughly owned soon.
Lagosians have really proven themselves to be very spineless chaps, who can only bark but can't bite.

With their large population, they still haven't been able to do jack. When Edo and Imo people protested against their false governors, it was clear those guys meant business, and they followed it through until they got things their way. And their population ain't even up to half of Lagos'.

But Lagos? If it isn't Tinubu's thugs beating them black & blue and whipping them back in line, it's the Nigerian Army giving them a fine treatment of "Knuckles United".

By the way, has anyone taken up legal action against the Nigerian Police for the unjust killing of that innocent guy who met his fate the day he was playing street football during the Subsidy Protests? Or has the case been quickly swept and forgotten under the rug immediately after the fuel prize was rolled back to 97 Naira?
I thought so.

What a big-for-nothing city, with loud-for-nothing cowards.

4wardever: It's not just about the swag anymore. It's about disregard for the wishes of the people. Those who are saying that they should accept the new name have the rights to air their views and are clearly expressing their acceptance of an insensitive and autocratic govt. BTW, UNIBEN is next to be changed to BOB IZUA UNIVERSITY.

Guy no try yourself oh... no be only bob izua..na lucky igbenedion university

How does changing of name affect their academics performers and certificate? Rather they should face their studies. However, MKO is a man we all admired and embraces his democratic effort. A reasonable student should be peacemaker not instigating civil disturbance and unrest...

[size=30pt]OH MY GREATEST MAU MAU STUDENTS!!! THERE IS NO NEED GOING TO WAR OVER THE RENAMING OF OUR DEAR INSTITUTION, LETS EMULATE THE GOODWILL OF GOVERNMENT BY RENAMING FACULTIES AFTER PROMINENT SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF NIGERIA...FACULTY OF EDUCATION = PATRICIA ETTE HOUSE, FACULTY OF LAW = AODOAKAA SCHOOL OF LAW, FACULTY OF BUSINESS = JAMES IBORI CENTER FOR BUSINESS STUDIES ETC[/size]

A.Gideon:
The funniest aspect of it, is that their protest will amount to nothing. Instead going back to class they are busy fighting over nothing. needless to say that with time, they will get used to the name. More so, they should be more concerned about the knowledge they are meant to acquire, not the name the institution.

You are a retard for this comment: Compare for your crappy head what the signature names of Unilag, UI, OAU etc means in securing a good Job in the market as against a MAU, TASUED etc.

Students that never protest ill-equipped laboratory, shortage of books in library, slow academic calender just to mention a few, but took to the street for a change of there institution name.. It shows us the kind of future we should expect in Nigeria

All these pple asking what are dey protesting for?Are their fadas d owners of d sch?What's wt d name,is it not 4u to just graduate?etc.Its dis same laid back attitude dat has put d country in dis mess:corruption,abuse of office,subsidy scams,d response,abeg what's our own,is it today".Somebody wakes up bc he's d president& decides to change d name of an institution& pple expect everybody to just sit back& accept it.Students av bn d harbingers of change worldwide& nobody shd discourage dese students frm exercising their legitmate& deep felt concern about this issue.Next time it wud b d name of d country& evn our personal names he wud change& dis same annoying,laid back attitude wud b adopted

Breaking newsTo all MAU students, school closed for 2 weeks. You are advised to vacate hostel before 11am today.

You are the slowpoke here, so if u are an employer u will employ an empty brain who finished from UI over a TASUED graduate with a 1st class who proved himself during the screening process... I know loads of the so called UNILAG grad who are still jobless years after graduating, so bros borrow a brain,u are better off keeping quiet

saxywale: That is a very dangerous place to protest if you can't swim

GBAM!!!

tot dis maulag stds r too classy to b doin such,dnt even kno if blockin d bridge will make GEJ change his mind,dey neva kno anytin,d man get agidi fa!

There was a time Kaduna State Poly was changed to Nuhu Bamali Poly. The new signpost was burnt but then the new name remained till this morning. They dey do like say no b school them. Autority na autority. Afterall na runs get them for the school. Make them do runs change the name back. MALU.:

Students slept in UNILAG and awoke in MAUL. What a miracle. GEJ is full of unpleasant surprises. I wonder what surprises awaits some come October 1st

how is it going?

~Bluetooth:

Any student caught should be given extra semester !

caught doin wat? Mtschewww

Korrection: All i have to say is guys becareful and know what you are protesting for...just becareful cos those soldiers will come and shoot in the air...your parents are at home thinking you guys are reading..they didnt send you guys to protest over a mere name change...just go back and read your books..pass your exams and carry on....

It's scaredy cats like u that make Nigeria what it is today. There's nuffin bad in protesting afterall we're in a democracy. And the Moshood Abiola they are being named after naa 'father of protesters'.
You don't change a school name without proper consultation with the school governing council and alumni. It doesn't make sense. UNILAG is not jonathan's property. It is public property.

Guy no try yourself oh... no be only bob izua..na lucky igbenedion university

Which wan be your own nah? Trust Osho baba, e go make am be the official carrier of UNIBEN Students.

Greatest.... BOB IZUA STUDENTS.....!!!!

WHERE IS D CIVILITY IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM? DID I HEAR YOU SAY NO NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY IN FIRST 1000 (OR 5000) IN THE WORLD? THESE PROTESTS HAVE CLEARLY SHOWN TO US THAT IT'S NOT SOLELY THE GOVT'S FAULT THEN

@bayulll01
is unilag a school shm

It will be interesting to know your profile before I know the kind of reply to give you.

In the words of Bob marley " There will be no peace without justice". Sometimes I wonder whether goodluck is really educated. Which school did he attend sef?

saxywale: That is a very dangerous place to protest if you can't swim

lmaooo.....i thought abt dat too...

When we say "Unilag, Uniben, Uni-Ife(OAU), UI(Ibadan), UI(Ilorin) e.t.c" those name carries prestige when pronounced & was well recognized nearly all over the world where Western Education is recognized. Why changing the name all in the name of rating yourself? abeg uncle, do something... UNILAG-----processing---------U=M-----processing---------ni=A------processing-----------*/rusult/* UNILAG=MAULAG Haaaaa!!! Shiit happens in dis country

it seems, to me, that you do not have social etiquette.well that aside. Incase you dont know, it is the quality of education that makes the name of a school ring a bell in the labour market not it's name.
advice: pls know how you talk especially in public. That speaks volume of who you are shalom.

Well said.

President drinks ogogoro, wakes up in the morning and changes the name of an institution without consulting with the ALUMNI, the Unions, the Oba of Lagos, the Governing council and the University Senate. What a country! Reminds me of Idi Amin of Uganda. Let the politicians take their hands off these institutions and stop the politicization of our Ivory Towers. The arrangement where one becomes a Professor because of his relationship with Madam Umblerra has got to stop. The practice of giving honourary degrees to political rogues has to stop. University autonomy now!

His Majesty: I'm loving this whole drama, buh i just hope say my friend Stanley no follow them they protest, make i even call am sef.

U mean stanley? Stanley dey front o! Infact na him carry d BRT come. See as d guy dey even challenge soldier.stanley we dey ur bak o!

See them,jobless runs girls and yahoo boys.

Why won't they display their stupidity.

@ogbeche77. Thanks for letting him
know he is actually the slowpoke for not knowing that the previous name of OAU he used as reference to butress his point was UNIVERSITY OF IFE. So much for name over substance. Mtcheew.
