ypzilanti: You do not need to visit the house of a politician to be a supporter.

I have many posts on Nairaland supporting the man. It is due process that I am arguing about. I love MKO. Jonthan on the other hand...I do not hate, but feel he is wearing shoes that are way oversized for his capability.

I did actually visit MKO's house in Opebi after his death although that fact is of no consequence to the topic. There's a lifesize painting of a standing MKO down a hallway if I remember correctly.

How many rooms are connected to the main sitting room in a straight line? Just give a number, no need for long details.

MAULAG babes and MAULAG dudes learn from here: http://www.mouau.edu.ng/

horlarkunle: hi im new here

Welcome to NL and hope you enjoy the rough ride.

MerryPlus: Nigeria runs a bi-cameral legislature. Any amendment to the University of Lagos Act must be approved by both chambers of the National Assembly in form of "University of Lagos(Amendment)Act". Contrary to the view of some contributors, the President requires the consent of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Amendment may sail through in the Senate, it will be "dead on arrival" in the House of Representatives.

Funny stuff!
Ok, lets assume your process is correct and the lower house is dumb enough to spit on MKO. This is how it will go:

1. Senate Ok's MAULAG.
2. Reps refuse.
3. President weilds veto power.
4. Case closed.

Give up,sir! All hope is lost!

oddy4real: This post you are about to read is from a friend. Look at it with an unbiased mind and it should be clear that all the stories trying to link Dame P. with these deaths are both cruel and illogical. I received a number of BBs that explicitl...ystate that it was the First Lady's VIP
movement that was directly responsible for the crash...
Dear friends, this is NOT TRUE!
Here are a few objective facts to buttress my point:
I disembarked from the SAME plane @ about 2pm that afternoon when it arrived into Abuja. If we allow about 50mins for passengers to disembark and get the plane
cleaned, refueled and re-loaded, it would have taken off back to Lagos @ c.2.50pm. The crash happened at about 3.43pm - about 3mins to landing. The flight time for that route (which I do @ least 2ce a week) is 55mins. Meaning that sadly, the ill-fated flight was into its 52nd/53rd minute when it went down. Where therefore do the 2hrs waiting for VIP movement come in?? My dear friends, it is important that we do not make the situation any worse for the bereaved by
spewing out lies. Many of you know that whilst I do what I do, I am no Govt appointed FB praise singer. I am writing this as an independent who was privy (1st hand) to some of the tragic realities of the day. May Good Lord have mercy on the souls of the departed.

Very informative. Thanks.

godfadda6: If a captain makes a distress call at 11 nautica miles (quoting minister of aviation) that's 20kilometers of the airport, there is a radar to show location before it lost contact, why wasn't all the NAMA, NEMA and all contact to tell them there was a mayday distress call?

In as much as we shouldn't politize the death of these people, we should not fail to realise that so many things are wrong with the system, presidency, FAAN, NAMA and all.....

Whether the airspace was shut or not, if a distress call was made at 20KM, that means the aircraft is approaching final decent into the lagos area, why shldnt the "rescue" team be ready.........

Very important questions. The way we do things in Nigeria is just shambolic; you would find that the very same theme in questions as to why a faulty plane could load passengers and take off. A lot of sanity needs to be brought into the avaiation system. Above all, the CEO and other top officials of Dana Air need to be jailed as an example.

ypzilanti: I was in secondary school. I attended his rally. Was not old enough to vote, but my family were MKO fans and my parents voted for him.

A government apologist and propogandaist like you could not have fought on the street against Abacha.

Not possible...you are not fooling anyone.

Or maybe you are one of those former radicals that now put their stomach first...like Simon Kolawole, Ruben Abati, Labran Maku... hmmn. SMH.

Ask your dad what the inside of MKO's house looks like. When he can't tell you, then come back and ask me, cos unlike you cowardly lot, I not only led and organised, but was influential enough to visit Abiola's house at Opebi on several occasions (same as Diya's). You only have a mouth on your face and little else.

Come and id!otically tell me about your "Yoruba" and "SW" like you can even follow me into Mushin. Most of you MAULAG youth are just loud cowards and pieces of shiit spitting on the gargantuan legacy a name that you can never ever equal.

nuclearboy: @Beaf:

Senate was consulted but they are only being told (officially) now?

You just keep on & on in error, sinking deeper in mire yet believing you pass muster!

Do you take official steps before consulting? Its obvious you have no clue how politics works.
You first do your background work, broadcast the action and then follow through with official sanction. Thats a free lesson for you in politics 101.

OAM4J: I cant believe you post this. You were much better than this, but you lost your objectivity the day you decided to follow GEJ blindly and see no wrong in him or whatever he does.

1st The Nigerian People own UNILAG and not Fed Govt. The Govt manages it with other institutions on behalf of the people. It is only right for a responsible government to carry the people along especially the key stakeholders before embarking on such matter.

Secondly only GEJ and his GEJ-cannot-do-wrong supporters will think implementation of a plan comes before approval. Even a 6yr old kid knows better. GEJ did not announce it as a plan but a decision of the FG which is illegal cos it has no approval.

Your post here is an insult to the National Assembly because it reduces them to mere rubber stamp. Too bad. Well may be NASS is just a rubber stamp because GEJ knows he only has to 'settle' them to approve whatever he says, but then that will be another evidence of a terribly corrupt government.

I'm sorry bro, but nobody can approach primitive hate-filled people to discuss anything. GEJ consulted with those who matter, the Senate. And thats that.
If ACN people want any respect, they had better change their style. Afterall, ACN is merely a mushroom, inconsequential party.

So long as GEJ has consulted with those who have the power to legalise the name, thats fine. ACN's presence in the Senate is close to zero.

Rewind...

Beaf: Buhari is a bloodthirsty, red-eyed, scary faced, "born to rule" mullah.

You and all your fellow educated and uneducated almajiri's will answer to karma for the deaths of hundreds of innocent people, including youth corpers serving their country in distant lands.

No demon will rule this country again.

Look closely at the picture below, it will be like a mirror to you. Every last soul whose relection is cast by that grim photo, owes the nation a penance in blood:

https://www.nigeriaplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/nigeria_election_riot.jpg

oginnade: So Maku has finally agreed that his aclaimed stakeholders were nt consulted.He even affirmed there is no going back knowing fully well that they have jumped before the gun. What a shameless people. PDP's influence in the House of Assembly will be defeated by God's grace.

The only stakeholder is the Senate and they were consulted. Every other party is either a tenant or noisemaker.
MAULAG belongs to the FG, so the only stakeholders are the arms of FG. Period.

nuclearboy: @poj:

Sun-Tzu, Tolstoy, Machiavelli and human history etc made me interested in psychology - fascinating field and one that Beaf would be well served to consider!

The greatest empires built on wisdom, power and even divine "arrangement" ALL fell! So it puzzles me when such as Beaf feel its all about today alone! I remember how Buhari was dreaded whist he ruled - same man now is the one that the sons of those who trembled before him, now insult randomly! The next few years will teach a lot of us wisdom because we have refused to learn from those that came before us! Babylon, Greece, the Persians, Rome, the Roman Church, Buhari etc!

I read, learnt and remember! It is only in that sense that I am a psychologist!

By using yourself as the definition, even Native Doctors too are psychologists, bro.
Please, stop insuting psychologists. Thank you.

ypzilanti: Abeg make i hear word. Anyone can claim anything. Your posts potray you as one of those Anyone In Power people (AGIP). Hence you would not have fought against the status quo 'government'. Your type abound everywhere in the world, and are especially resilient in Nigeria.

Back to the UNILAG issue, I am happy to quote MKO Abiola for the benefit of Jonathan:

' The man that says he does not know how he ended up on top of the coconut tree will either climb down the same way he came, or break his neck'.

Humbly retrace your steps King Jonathan, Maximum Ruler of Nigeria.

Can you claim to have fought for MKO? Or are you not just another empty mouth belonging to an empty head, spewing dishonourable crap and spitting on MKO's legacy?

I find people who trample on the legacy of our true heroes to be no more than moral tramps.

Who and what was Mighty Joe anyway?

Afis bro, I can understand your quandary, especially when Dele Times was your only source of information in those days. If you recalled, Dele Times was partially owned by the federal government, and one of the minority owners of Dele Times was the Alakija family of Mushin. In the annals of rich and wealthy nigerian families with deep money, the alakijas are the equivalent of the du ponts in America. You never read or hear about them, but their money speaks volumes and they own everything.

Mighty Joe was not an armed robber. Mighty Joe was killed as a service to one of these prominent families from Mushin. We all know the true story. Mighties only crime was that he beat up the owner of Jebako and seized Jebako from the owner. Mighty Joe was the body guard to the owner of jebako in those days. If you knew anything about Idi-oro in the early seventies, you would have known that the law had no reach in Idi-oro. Nobody could challenge Baba and mighty Joe in Idi-oro. Baba could mass an army that will fight anybody to a standstill. The only way to eliminate Mighty Joe and rid themselves of his troubles was to trump up charges that he robbed an old woman. How can a man who fed old people in Idi-oro turn around to rob them. That is the question you should ask yourself. Yes, he was a mean, tough M-F, but not an armed robber, bro. I knew that man very well, bro. He was one of the kindest cut of men to come out of Idi-oro. He was a true son of a gun and razor sharp knives and also, a man of his time. He was Idi-oro and depicted Idi-oro. In a nutshell, MIGHTY JOE was KILLEd for that prominent Mushin family that owned a partial share of Jebako. That was the story then and it remains so till infinity. There was never a robbery. Not once! and you are right, he was pressured to implicate Baba and Oshin, but as a shon of the Idi-oro, he took the stand by himself and like a hero of our time and everyone was proud of him, and the legend and lore has since built beyond his imagination, remained standing for a complete 4 minutes under a barrage of bullets before giving up the ghost. If I ever come into money, I will definitely make a movie of this great idi-oro son. He was surely one of a kind - a bad M-F, but not an armed robber.

Gaddem!

Which one come be 'Dele Times' na?!

[quote author=israel ben-zion]The only evident idiocy is d one u display. What u call idiocy is d singular trait that raises d West(Yorubas) above all others in terms of political awareness. In any other part of d country, that illegality wud have been swallowed. But it can't 'fly' in d West, trust them. If all parts of Nigeria were 'Westernised', we wud hv had a more robust democracy.
I hail these students. These r d new face of Nigeria.
Mind u, the argument has always been: y did he not follow due process?
And I bet u, the Senate will turn him down. Just watch. N u will die wen it happens. Punkhead![/quote]Shut the phuck up!
When people like me were on the streets risking our lives to fight for MKO, your type were hiding under their beds, paralysed with fear.
We faced live bullets, armoured cars and extremely powerful teargas dropped from helicopters that exploded with the sound of a bomb.
When we were patrolling and organising along the railway line (Oshodi to Iddo), along Western Avenue, Ikorodu Road etc; where were reptiles like you?

Today, you have the guts to tell me about Yoruba and the SW; and then turn around to spit on MKO. I find your type thoroughly despicable.

[quote author=12 inches!]Let's get this str8...I dnt really like u...I think u're very senile and dumb jst like GEJ who happens to be ur role model[/quote]You don't like me? Dude, I don't even know you!
Stick to the topic, bro.

maclatunji: Citizens have the right to lobby their parliament O evil propagandist. GEJ should have waited for the court case to be concluded, why is he reversing his 'Presidential Proclamation on Democracy Day' by seeking the approval of the Senate?

Lol! Wait for what court case? Some of you are really pumped up in oversize shoes!
Do you think GEJ did not consult with the Senate before making the announcement? He just did not consult with ACN, cos they behave like c[i]o[/i]ck-eyed vagabonds.

Get used to MAULAG.

onthefence: What is the rant all about? Your Principal has realised his folly and has done the right thing and you are still bleating like the goat you are.

My brother, after your long wahala, it will still be MAULAG.

maclatunji: You cannot give what you don't have. GEJ has finally recognised that he had no power to change the name of those institutions and is now deferring to the Senate for approval. All UNILAG students need to do is 'Occupy NASS' for a thorough rejection of this proposed name change.

I thought they went to court too? Maybe they should come with the bunch of area boys that helped seize bridges too.
MAULAG is here to stay.

nuclearboy: @Beaf:

As at today, and without parliamentary backing, is it UNILAG or MAULAG?

That is the question!

The answer to that may teach you to be a bit less strident in your assertions and understand that not always is the president right! Because I keep wondering - what happens to him (and you) if the Senate says no? Egg in face, ehn?

MAULAG

Bontee: What i get from this issue is just that, it has been the normal process ( not the right way though ) to rename a university, stadium, road or any federal or state public facility without the due process. The people usually do not oppose this change and neither does the state or federal assembly oppose it because they would have consulted themselves privately. They would not have opposed also if the ruling party controls the state where the name change will take effect but the opposition to unilag name change was not expected. It might be that the state is in opposition hands, politicians in southwest were contacted and not the school. So when the protest came out in the open then they just have to revert back to the right process and not the normal process described above. In order not to leave a bad taste they went back to update the other normal process for the other schools who already went ahead with the name change to the right process as with unilag.

Lessons learnt is that we will now be going through the right process but the norm earlier is to do it the Nigerian way.

You hit the nail on the head, bro.

otokx: The onus now rests with the senate to deny the request assuming all UNILAG [b]MAULAG [/b]alumni and undergraduates do their lobby well.

So the Senate will suddenly change from a PDP one with David Mark as its head to one where MAULAG alumni have a say? Lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
When people tell you GEJ consulted widely, doesn't it occur to you that he only consulted those who matter?

Dude, it would be the simple business of David Marks garvel coming down... Gboza!!! MAULAG forever!

careytommy: So there is MAULAG and MAUTECH. MAUTECH still sweet for mouth pass MAULAG sha!

Lol!

[quote author=israel ben-zion]Rabid Beaf on d rampage again. Dude, sumtimes u just shut d Bleep up and learn. U need not reply every time, esp if u are ignorant on d issue. Tot u said d name-change was final then? U still bawled like a dog wit rabies when some people were saying he ought to have sought parliamentary blessings first before changing d name. Now u hv seen it that his action is far from fianl. Wat if d Senate turns him down? And there is a s trong likelihood of dat happening.
Wen they turn him down what will be ur response then?[/quote]Are you the one going to change it back to Unilag? In case you do not know, the party of traitors, ACN has negligible presence in the Senate.
All other parties and the Nigerian public welcomes the name change to MAULAG.

It is final.

I not for politics, who would be spitting on MKO's legacy. Its a disgusting thing to watch, I can only view thos taking part the same way I view earthworms.
How can anyone in their right mind say they are not proud for their institution to bear the name of a hero of our democracy?

Its mind boggling proof of the moral emptiness of vast swathes of our population!

[quote author=12 inches!]Beaf=retard=retardeeen.....Your line of thinking shows u're retarded.[/quote]With a choice of id like 12 inches, your people must be regretting tour birth. Dunce.

This was changed since last year, but the people did not ehxibit the sort of idiocy we are experiencing from MAULAG students.
Why they would spit on MKO's legacy is beyond me.
The FG owns the place and the students are mere tenants:

https://mautech.edu.ng/templates/rt_solarsentinel_j15/images/header/black/header-bg.png

I'm wondering what id!ot would have expected the President to put a motion on the floor of the senate before announcing the name. There are many strange types on NL indeed!

The federal govt owns the damn place and it has chosen to honour MKO.

This is the drill:

1. President announces.
2. Senate stamps approval.
3. MAULAG is born

Simples.

maclatunji: Let me get Beaf and Co. clearly. You are saying because an illegality has happened twice, it should be applauded a third time? This is a classic case of putting the cart before the horse.

I'm simply pointing out that you people are daft, sir.
No illegality occurred, rather we have proof from as far back as 2010 that there is a process which has been followed. Scream, shout and bite all you like, MAULAG is here to stay.

Streaming media is not some sort of try your luck game.

He needs to know his architecture right now. And that architecture needs to be scalable.

Rewind...

Beaf: I find those who trample on the dignity of the dead out of sheer animalistic hatred to be utterly despicable creatures who should be best lined up and summarily shot.

What bastar'ds like oyb have not thought about is, why the aircraft was lining up to land if the airspace was closed.
We just have so many low fools like oyb parading the place and freely venting idiocy.

A brief investigation would tell any educated mind that the plane crashed as it was approaching the airport to land. As soon as the pilot made a distress call, express clearance was given for the plane to come in immediately. That is the practice the World over.

Would a born fool like oyb be the pilot of a plane (God forbid), then get into distress in the air and get told he can't land? Even a beast as emphatically stup!d as oyb would not obey such a call, talkless of flying round in circles for two hours. You've really got to be ammazed at the levels of idiocy that hatred rouses in some people.

As for demdem, he was born and bred in the gutter, thats why he farts verbally like a mentally marooned leprechaun. You expect animals of his kind to swarm around falsehoods to fan the embers of their gutter breeding.
