edicolove: Lol! The oyibos call it misplaced priority. I call it NFA: No Future Ambition.

I know why they have the time though. I have people there and they spend most of their time doing yahoo stuff and flexing around. They then settle lecturers to pass. That thing in akoka is not a school. It is a gamblers den and a LovePeddler house. Where do you think entertainment people go to get cheap girls to do all sorts of crazy stuff? Good answer, MAULAG. Funny lot!

If your post is true about the state of affairs in UNILAG, then you should be rebuking GEJ for simply re-naming the school; he should've shut it down then.

By changing the name, if your post is true, GEJ is merely rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. . .Nigeria IS the Titanic!

ndahbros1: I strongly disagree wit u. This is a democracy. Aggrieved persons are always encouraged to approach d courts rather than take laws into their hands. Weda dey lose or not is another matter. If every Nigerian stood up for his right like this, we wud hv been in a better situation dan we r now. It wil curtail govt arbitrariness if these boys win in d end.

edicolove: Hmmm, nice argument. But why aint they rather fighting for the very many serious issues that threathen their very existence. Instead they choose name change of all things to show their understanding of their human rights. This your argument is standing on one toe, bro. You need to do more to help it.

It seems to us that they have their priorities twisted. And please just to ask. These students have barely enough money to eat and keep up, so where will they get the money to run a court case that would go all the way to the supreme court if the parties are really serious and would span years. These kind of cases are very very expensive, believe me. Except of course, their generous sponsor, BAT, will bell the cat.

And just to let them know they will have long graduated by the time the case is thru or they will need to reject their certificate by the time they graduate because it will bear MAULAG. This is really hillarious!

werepeLeri: LOL. Stop foaming in the mouth like an im becile. You cant even tie my show laces, talkless of talking where I am - I no blame you, this one na cyber space, you can open your dirty mouth and let anything that matters comes out of it. LOL.

If you truly have any shoes worth tying, it does not reflect in your disdain for your Alma Mater and level of reasoning. Tells us how you got those shoes! Lay-about!

BTW slowpoke is ONE word, not two. See yourself so? Olodo!

Also, it's spelled S-H-O-E not "show"

O'lboy, you are a disgrace to UNILAG, if you truly graduated from that great skul (really, spelled as "school" but I want to be sure you know what I mean!)

Akieagle: Those former unilag stds are not serious.taking fg to court is like taking the owner of the university to court

werepeLeri: Now they are following "due process" abi? Who told them going to the streets was "due process" in the first instance? Silly goats. I attended UNILAG, and who gives a damn if my ex school is now MAU? I dont. If you dont like the new name, change school. Period.

Maximus17: can the court do anything especially in our present day Nigeria?

Vincent 4: You student better go and sit down....It can never be reversed

I don't understand how a civil action by aggrieved parties is being derided. The so-called developed countries where you study/fast/pray/cheat/lie/forge papers to enter are based on civil actions such as these.

Why you call them names is beyond me. You are obviously not aggrieved, so butt out.

Except of course, UNILAG considered you way below its standard of admission sometime ago and you still bear a grudge! There, I said it; get over it and move on!

braine: Can students actually defeat government in court?

Shuo! These students did not have a hand in your failing to meet UNILAG cut-off marks abeg! Stop hating!

kissmylips: Wats so special wit d name,huh!! Waste of time n resources...SMH

100% Bush Meat na im you be! If you don't know what is in an institutional name, you definitely lack substance. . .If GEJ wakes up tomorrow, and with regard to due legal process changes NIGERIA to SHOELESS JOE, you will spew the same crap. . .A very DIM gurl you are

salaksmana: Who employed the judge? This is Nigeria they should learn to live with that, the last time I checked Unilag's name wasn't the 1st to be change, the name changes nothing so it shouldn't cause any wahala now. They're embarking on a WILD GOOSE CHASE

You better chase down this limited edition tee-shirt because as soon as UNILAG regains its name, this design will be a collectors' item

CuteTj: hehehe! LOL! My bro, im not saying im in support of its change of name . . . But trust Jonathan with the dunce that he is didn't deem it fit to consult with the Governing Council so therefore, i resist the name change myself.

Ehen! Spoken like a thoroughbred. Fear catch me small before o.

Even those who attended only ONE TERM in Staff School are pained by the purported name change. . .Purported because GEJ is fooling himself; whether now or after we kick him out in 2015, it's Unilag for life!

NLders, go grab your limited-edition T-Shirts (Walahi, I trust Americans - This T-Shirt would have been on sale 5 hours after GEJ's yeye announcement. . .That's how employment gets generated)

CuteTj: I attended UNILAG from nursery school all the way to Postgraduate level (all my education has been at unilag) and im not bothered if its name is changed or not.

Ganys: “Then we find another yawa to keep them busy. The idea is to keep them busy from yawa to yawa till 2015.”

“. . . What I am saying is that we all live in fear whenever Oga steps up to a microphone. We have all accepted the fact that no amount of coaching go fit make oga sabi yarn properly.

Una no go take laff kill person on these serious matters oh!

CuteTj: Ure funny. I really don't get what your stress is. Did he snatch your wife? At least he didn't molest any lady nor forcefully married his wives. They willing agreed for him.

E no take my wife/GF o! Thank God that by the time I entered the market, it was game-over for him

But don't jump around in your logic - You said he deserved having his name replace Unilag because he gave bursaries and grants, and I just gave you a very shortlist of people who did, and are still doing the same. Should Nigerian universities be named after donors?

His non-discriminatory policy on screwing and obsession with fathering as many children as possible are merely a sideshow in this matter that does not disqualify his being honored - The wrong institution was chosen to honor him. That's the point of the post.

CuteTj: i hope the bolded above has helped in enlightening ignorant people like CANUCK & co. How many ladies did OBJ, Fela, Ojukwu marry? Nigerian culture and tradition allows polygamy. Even average westerners get married more than once in their lifetime so what's the big deal about Abiola's case. His personal and intimate life is of no concern to anybody so i don't see any reason why canuck seems to be obsessed with that aspect of his life.

naptu2: Letter of appreciation from MKO Abiola’s family to President Jonathan!


Your Excellency, We wish to publicly offer our profound appreciation for your unprecedented recognition of the late Chief MKO Abiola, the ideals he lived by and the noble cause he died for. As you honoured him, we honour you. We have watched in dismay and bafflement, the futile efforts of previous governments to bury the uncommon heroism of MKO Abiola.
