An Open Letter to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR

Proposal to Rename the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in Honour of Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, GCFR


Your Excellency,

I trust this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I write to you as a concerned citizen, deeply appreciative of Nigeria's rich history and the pivotal figures who have shaped our nation's democratic journey. In this regard, I humbly propose the renaming of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), to honour the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, GCFR.

Chief Abiola, born on August 24, 1937, in Abeokuta, was a distinguished businessman, philanthropist, and politician whose life was marked by an unwavering commitment to democracy and social justice. His victory in the June 12, 1993, presidential election, widely regarded as Nigeria's freest and fairest, was a testament to his broad-based support across ethnic and religious lines. Despite the annulment of the election results and his subsequent incarceration, Chief Abiola remained steadfast in his pursuit of democratic ideals until his untimely death on July 7, 1998. His enduring legacy was further recognized when he was posthumously awarded the Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (GCFR) in 2018 by Former President Muhammadu Buhari, and June 12 was declared Nigeria's Democracy Day in his honour.

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka, established in 1960, stands as a beacon of Academic excellence and National unity. Founded by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, it was the first indigenous University in Nigeria, embodying the vision of a nation capable of charting its own educational and developmental course. The university's motto, "To Restore the Dignity of Man," resonates profoundly with Chief Abiola's lifelong dedication to human rights, democracy, and the upliftment of the Nigerian people.

Renaming UNN after Chief Abiola would serve multiple purposes:

1. National Unity: It would symbolize the bridging of regional and ethnic divides, reflecting Chief Abiola's pan-Nigerian appeal and the university's national character.

2. Honoring Democratic Sacrifice: This act would immortalize Chief Abiola's contributions to Nigeria's democratic evolution, inspiring future generations to value and uphold democratic principles.

3. Educational Inspiration: Aligning the university with Chief Abiola's legacy would motivate students and faculty to emulate his virtues of resilience, philanthropy, and commitment to societal betterment.

I acknowledge that such a change requires careful consideration, including consultations with stakeholders, alumni, and the academic community. However, I firmly believe that this initiative would not only honour a National hero but also reinforce our collective commitment to the values for which he stood.

Thank you for considering this proposal. I am confident that under your leadership, Nigeria will continue to honour its past while striving towards a more unified and Democratic future.

Sincerely,
Livingsage
(Concerned Citizen)

Did Abiola attend UNN? A loser does not qualify any goon to be named after a university in Igboland.

CyrusVI:
Funny how you guys didnt see anything wrong with Soldiers attacking Civilians doing their work this time, but if it was against people you support, you'd start telling them to go after Boko Haram and even attack Nigeria for being a lawless country


I don talk am before say all of us this country na hypocrite. Nobody dey on the side of truth

If i hear any obidient shout "Intimidation " again, na curse

It is not funny. This is one of the reasons Kemi dissed Nigeria. Most Nigerians cannot even think to commit a suicide.

@OP

If this is remotely true, the so-called Amry general should be demoted and dismissed from the army.

Goodvibes007:
The Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Reverend Callistus Onaga, has condemned the pervasive killings and criminality in the South-East, labelling it as "self-destruction."

Onaga, who spoke during his Christmas media briefing on Tuesday, expressed concerns that the people of the South-East had become cowards of their own actions, allowing a few individuals to profit from their destruction.

"Why will we sit down and plan our own destruction and few people will be profiting with that," he questioned.

Onaga noted that the region has been plagued by violence since 2021, with locals killing each other under the guise of fighting against their oppressors.

"Here in the South East we started killing ourselves saying that we are killing those who are supposed to be killing us. We are destroying ourselves. We have done it for the past three years since 2021.

"We have become cowards of our own actions here in the South East."

He emphasised the need for forgiveness and an end to the cycle of violence.

The bishop also drew attention to the alarming ethnic cleansing in the North East and North Central Nigeria, where locals are being killed and their properties destroyed by both state and non-state actors.

He criticised the tendency to blame foreigners for these atrocities, insisting that Nigerians themselves are responsible.

Let's go over to the North East and all other parts of the North politics and ethnic cleansing," more especially in Benue State where the people are subjugated.

"We are doing a little bit of ethnic cleansing in some areas and then we are blaming the foreigners. No we are the one doing it," the Bishop Onaga insisted.

Speaking on the economic situation in the country, the Bishop appealed to the political elites to prioritize the welfare and well-being of the people.

"Can our politicians think otherwise and begin to make things easier. Will our politicians begin really believe that we the led have some measure of intelligence."

Bishop Onaga prayed for the country to overcome all the challenges impeding development through the coming of Christ and Christ celebration in this Christmas.

"My dear fellow Nigerians let us not add to the sufferings that are coming onto us by making things more difficult. At the Christmas celebrate with everybody, bring down your prices, bring down whatever you are doing.

"Yes even in the church you should do something bring down whatever lavies so that people can really feel the impact of the celebration of love and celebration of joy at Christmas."

Onaga's comments come as a call to action for Nigerians to take responsibility for their actions and work towards a more peaceful and harmonious society.

Oppressors can be found within a society. They are worse than external ones. This useless Bishop and his fellow Christians are typical examples.

And 100+ more companies

Why are they afraid of self-determination? If a person hints about disintegration of Nigeria, Yoruba will weep louder than everybody in opposition to the scheme.

Most Africans are always happy with government handouts. Kemi Badenoch does not believe is such scheme hence she is tagged "Sell-out". Africans are not respected because of naivety.

UCyril:
pls enlighten us more.

Please do rudimentary research on the origin of the so-called Ijaw. For example, Amachree is a bastardized Amaikiri also Ibani as Ubani, etc.

Not surprise to lame analysis given by the so-called CDS of Nigeria about terrain with respect to security. Dumbass society will always produce goons at the top.

God1000:
Activist, Aisha Yesufu has declared that the leader of the Conservative Party leader in the United Kingdom, UK, Kemi Badenoch is not a Nigerian.

Yesufu berated Badenoch for saying repatriation due to colonialism is a scam.

Posting on social media, the co-convener of BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, advocacy group reminded Badenoch that the United Kingdom was built on the pains of colonised people.

He wrote: “Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch that said repatriation because of colonialism is a scam and we should focus on the future not the past is still hung up that a policeman stole her brother’s shoes!

“Gullible citizens, our enemy’s enemy is not your friend. He/She can be your worst enemy.

United Kingdom grew on the back of people’s pain and anguish. Looted Kingdoms, destroyed systems and killed people and Kemi says their wealth isn’t from people’s pain.

Anyway, like I said earlier, Kemi should move on! She is not Nigerian and we get it!”
https://dailypost.ng/2024/12/17/move-on-youre-not-nigerian-aisha-yesufu-tackles-kemi-badenoch/

A rant of an empty vessel. A person wonders if this loudmouthed woman is referring to the same UK which supported dumbass Nigerians to fight Biafra.

pacificom:
History proves Yoruba's are the early settlers and land owners of Onitsha & Owerri. They lease the land to Igbo people who eventually settle there till this present time.

Yoruba that settled in Oyo Ile, 30 miles north of Ilorin, migrated from Upper Volta region.

santopelele:
Osi that ijaw have 3 local govt for abia state? Make them catch you, make your stupidity ends for nairaland. Make ohafia people catch you na your body go tell you

Do not pay any mind to the drunk. Ijaw is derived from Igbo land, British porters from Akwapim-Togo region as well as shipmates from India and Philippine.

@General Ditari.

Funny names without Ijo originality. The names were either derived from Filippino or Igbo.

Are you a pikin?

Not every defamation case is criminalized.

The Next Ohaneze from Rivers state should not be am ikwerre man that's my own

You cant have Asa, Ndoki, Etche, Omuma, Ndoni, Egebema even Ekpeye then go and give it to a prodigal Son ikwerre We would not take it

This Ohaneze sha.. Hope the next president from Rivers State take up the mantle and does well

At least Renovation of Amadioha shrine in Etche should be done and make it a tourist attraction...
I know I would pay 10k to visit and see the Amadioha shrine


An attempt should be made to give final burial Rights to the Igbos that drowned themselves instead of being slaves so their souls can rest and a monument errected for them

Unfortunately, history tends to play double hands in this scenario. Ikwerri and Omoku dudes made up the founding fathers of Ohaneze

Yankee101:
lol
Funny but true
He was Sanhurst’s number one product of Nigeria
He had other tribes as his 2ic and helped them climb
But they helped to kill him

Maimalari was the first Nigerian regular combatant commissioned into the officer Corps of the Nigerian army

I guess he had course-mates while in Sandhurst. His profile does not suggest he could have helped anyone to climb the ladder.

wirinet:
FFK dad's full name is Chief Victor Babaremilekun Adetokunboh Fani-Kayode . He was taken away by the coupist right in front of FFK when he was 6, and his mother. He was brutally shot. FFK has talked about that traumatic experience in many interviews.
You can Google that name for more details.
That you guys are not appalled by the brutal murder of innocent people by blood thirsty coupist, but only obsessed with TY Danjuma remains a mystery to me.

Remi Fani-Kayode was not killed during the Nigerian coup of January 15, 1966.

kettykin:
So the 1966 coup was an igbo coup but the 1976 was not a Christian coup.
You see why I tell people that Nigeria is living on borrowed time and it's seconds are numbered.

Everything about Nigeria is painted with falsehood.

These goons from northern region tend to act smart. Suddenly, the candidate for the president of Nigeria is no longer a thing of federal character. Why does Nigeria practice quota system? These losers used quota system to climb the ladder while at the top, they suggest jettisoning the federal character.

Southeast zone should not become a garden as the source of energy for misguided enterprise called Nigeria. Any federal project which will depend on natural resources is not welcome in Igboland.

I wonder how few Nigerians are referred as SAN when the country can easily be mistaken as a zoo.

Mugu44:
The Aradu is a frigate
Centenary is a Corvette
Lana is a fucking patrol ship of 60m


What exactly are you saying?
Even a pirate ship captained by Jack Sparrow will destroy these toys.

You know about these ships, yet you talk about carrying ballistic missiles.

Africans in general and Nigerians particular have huge knack for despotism. Nigerian state governors always dream to be military head of states. The jackasses will spend huge public money to prepare a semi-army-general's uniform to initiate acts of idiocy.

Mostly Igbo and Fanti. Also, some Filipino too.

Dumbass liberals in UK have suddenly found favor in Nigeria.

If Yoruba did not prepare the moronic dish called "One Nigeria", Kemi would not sweat to explain the difference between Yoruba ethnicity and zoo-like country such as Nigeria.

Topman7:
Kemi Badenoch, you see how your brainlessness in public attacking Africa’s leading nation, NIGERIA, Britain’s largest or 2nd largest trading partner in Africa, has caused a British media and political sensation, in what the British media are calling a diplomatic crisis?

Your typical Nigerian inferiority complex and low self esteem made you think you could publicly insult and denigrate Nigeria in Britain, and nothing would happen. After all “it’s only Nigeria”, as your LOW IQ reasoned.

AND THEN THE NIGERIAN VICE-PRESIDENT SPOKE, VOICING HIS DISPLEASURE IN A SPEECH, WHERE HE ASKED HER TO REMOVE HER FIRST NAME.

The British media reported his statement in ALL their major newspapers and TV media, with British journalists and politicians saying that after Brexit, with Britain needing to build alliances in Africa, that the last thing they need is to be making more enemies, especially one that is among the largest economies in Africa.

Of course, unlike the brainless Badenoch, the British authorities are well aware that NIGERIA is projected to be the 3rd most populous nation on Earth by 2050, and ONLY LAST MONTH sent their Foreign Minister David Lammy to Nigeria to promote British investment.

Nobody wants to miss out on the soon-to-be 3rd largest market on Earth, Nigeria.

KEMI BADENOCH, with your nasty attitude against Nigeria, the British will make sure you NEVER smell that Prime Minister’s seat.

Because they KNOW that the Nigerian govt never forgets, and will NEVER do 1 penny worth of business with Britain with YOU as their Prime Minister. And will dissuade other African countries from same.

In fact, it’s all over for you.

You will not be Prime Minister of the UK, BECAUSE of your attitude towards Nigeria.

The British have caught on to you.

They can see you are a problem.

They will now begin to undres.s you daily until you are finished, and spat out.

You will LEARN BY FORCE that Nigeria is a powerful country, and that you can not get away with spitting on her to elevate yourself.

An imbecilic rant!!!

When one has slept with the alleged outcast, the idea of calling off wedding is intent on a bad teste.

saviourGeorge:
It’s a court order bro
Surely it will take effect
When was the order given

The court order in Nigeria does not go beyond the geographical expression called Nigeria.

adebowales:
the day is coming which you occupiers will run to Europe you all come from, that day you will look back and no one will save you all, your fake country will disappear from the world map again

Real occupiers of land in Middle East are Arabs. I did not say Palestinians because they never existed until the formation of PLO. Not every Jew in Israel is a returnee as not every Yoruba in Lagos is returnee.
