agitator: It is his duty as the commander in chief and the chief security officer

Perfect example of paranoia...

@ dyt enjy urself gal, atleast ur not forcing him to give u, ignore em haters...gues ur bf's working and can afford it. Also note dat he cld stop anytime so dnt be too reliant on it.

@poster ur bro has simply asked for a slash in his allowances (gues u've all been giving him more than enuf) cos he's spending like he has d money and he's working for it, I think slashing is allowance into half, dat shld be enuf wake-up call, plus no more tip from here and there...and pls key in oda members of d family members so they can all help him to be prudent with his spending.

deb: I don't see a reason why we all Nigerians should not jointly condemn any act that violates our constitution irrespective of the intention of the act.

Maybe the citizens are not civilized enough to practise democracy because I can't understand the support for an unconstitutional act by any right thinking person. Today it is Unilag, tomorrow it will be something that will affect the lives of the mass citizens negatively and will favour the goats that we call politiciansn especially the chief goat call GEJ - Goat Ebela Jolatans and his dirty ignorant wife. Mtshceeew and shame all u all supporters of unconstitutional act.

Well said...not everyone who claims to be literate is actually enlightened.

This is cool cash men...your sister needs to sue their asses!

gator_666: A 40 years old airplane, but well and properly maintained, is safer than brand new but not maintained at all one.

Source pls...any previous surveys on this, sample size, sample frame, level of significance that support flight of 40yr old commercial airplanes?.....*smh*

Dear poster, it's actually both ways, ladies also stalk guys on fb, by d way d stalking issue is not only perculiar to Nigeria but happens everywhere. U might want to work on your privacy settings if it really borders you

Donmeca: Fashola got it so wrong in d first place... I told him!

U did? So what did he say-*grin*

Niseamaka: One of the reasons why christians and churches have continued to be turned into killing fields in the Nigeria is hugely because of lack of reprisal attacks by christians.I am a very liberal minded christian,so my relationship with all and sundry is on reciprocatory basis.Sincerely,if a underground secret christian militia can be constituted by CAN for the purpose of self defense,preventive and retaliatory attacks,the menace of Islamic terrorists in North against christians would have subsided.Christians in Nigeria wake up, stop your docile and passive dispositions and start defending yourselves.If at least two islamic centres of worship can be targeted mercilessly weekly,those who think that they have a monopoly of violence will surely think twice before embarking on their murderous missions.Attack is the best form of self defense,so let the attacks comence NOW.

This might not be practical in the north as they are outnumbered

Pukkah: Again? Didn't the President promise that blasts would become a thing of the past by June? He has obviously failed to meet this self-set target. Nigeria!

Lol....well, he said june but din't specify the year...cld as well be june 2020

crackhouse: are u going there to collect salary or are u going there to serve ur country?.

Dumb ass!...he has to feed and survive while serving his country #must u be an hater

drsurprise: But dey pay NYSC docs well na, abt #200000.

Jezz who spreads such rumors...na wa o....wats ur source and which states

tellwisdom: So anything makes front page now?? Ok, brb let me snap myself excreting in the toilet and post

Guitarlife: are you sure that? Mmmhhhh, guitar especially acoustic has got this unique allure. Why do you think people like asa, bob marley, wyclef, jason mraz are irrestible? Piano is neither an orchestra instrument (partly classical though) nor is it a full blooded contemporary but we all know where guitar stands. Plus piano is unnecessarily difficult and boring to learn while it provides lttle room for manipulation unlike slap, pop, hammer on obtainable with guitar. I am learn to be a jazz pianist though but it sure look's like an impossible task at the moment.

Well said, I play the guitar too...u cld also get a gibson jazz guitar arnd 40k and be a jazz guitarist as well, it's sound would blow your mind

sucezTP: Seriously, dey have no human feelings! Wat will it take dem to take care n save pple's lyf even wen d govt has refused to play dia own roles..many pple died in dis course! N mere lookin @ dis strike issue, most of d doctors have dia private hospitals elsewia. Well, mayb we shldn't blame dem!

Jst curious...wats your opinion about the u.k docs going on strike from the 21st of this month

Oluwa4Sure: Ask some of these people saying the protest is worthless how will they feel if after 40years of age with wife(husband) and kids
their dad wake up one morning and change there name from whatever it was before to something else. Help me ask them how will they
feel. Because it is so easy to throw stone at people fighting for their right or fighting for justice.

Unilag is recognised far and wide, and we all knows that a good name is better than silver and gold!!
If only the name 'Unilag' was to be valued, I'm sure it will be worth much more than 20billion Naira.
So, now I guess they will have to start from scratch again(home and abroad). Building something that has
already being built.

If that name MAULAG should remain, I assure you, its certificate will be worth much less than the least Federal university in Naija toay!!!!

I feel u jare, most of them are simply selfish because it dosent affect them or simply do not understand the term due process in a democracy...feel for the students and wish them the best

[quote author=dadicvila]Any student found protesting should be shot on his/her legs,since una no wan get sense[/quote

Comments like this simply amaze me, dats why sm ppl deem nairaland comments as majorly dumb...who goes around shooting people, like seriously?

CuteTj: i didnt say we shouldnt request for better pay because we all need it but If you are an employer, will you let your employees order you around? Fashola did what he did to avert the total breakdown of law and order in the Civil Service. Now the recalled Drs will soft pedal and won't request for a pay rise for the time being. Thats the strategy Fashola employed to make them back down.

Just curious, why would you think so?

[quote author=12 inches!][/quote]Source please

The most important thing is...hope u got her no or contact, if u din't, take home lesson is when next u  such a girl that blanks you out- don't dull

Reptyle: Masterstroke by Fashola. Now those doctors are going to look utterly evil if they still hold out on returning to work as soon as possible. In the struggle to get them reinstated, most people have forgotten the crux of the matter...full CONMESS abi! The issue became about how Fashola sacked the entire workforce. Now he has shifted ground,

If u think doctors would work without been paid their minimum wage, I gues ur mistaken

club12: Its a show of shame, Doctors should go back to work and do the needful.U cannot place money first before human lives, i simply admire Gov Fash for his understanding.Our doctors should be more professional rather than allowing themselves to be use as political tools.EKO ONI BAJE!!!

Don't get ur point. Are u saying they should earn less than the work they do....smh

poj: They had beta b grateful, m sure they nw v a feeling of wht it means to be jobless. They beta behave themselves. Pls what make them special poster?

I laf in spanish, fashola has learnt the hard way, neva mess with professional bodies...I bet he dare not decide not to pay them their due conmess...government needs to learn not to trample on citizens and civilians rights...

Hope you find another man that would want you as much as he wants you

monkeyleg: It is not for the president of a nation to go about launching light bulbs, dont we have a minister that can do that. Again another lousy attempt by a Lazy Phuck president, with no accomplishment to his name

Lol

Eko Ile: 34 doctors don answer query and recognized the authority of their employer. The rest go soon smell coffee abd begin beg.

Learnt the doctors din't beg, it's the ones on leave who were being called back...it's all propanganda, fashola would slowly realise what he has done and try to win the public back gradually by reversing it

[quote author=lightheart][/quote]There's a flaw in your example, in this case it's not Gej's house but a house belonging to the entire nation, built and funded by the entire nations taxes including even the officials of the same university...it's just common logic.

odumorun 1: I strongly disagree with Wole Soyinka on this.

The furore regarding the renaming of Unilag is elitist posturing of the worst kind, dressed up in the garb of democratic protestation. This has nothing to do with anger that the council of the university was not consulted. The university and its senate and governing council do not fund the school. The school is funded by the federal government from the federal purse representing millions of hardworking Nigerians most of whose kids will never enjoy the benfit of a university education let alone a prestigious one like Unilag.

The storm in a tea cup is another example of middle class Nigerians, particularly yoruba ones (the most snobbish and self regarding version and yes i am a Yoruba) refusing to be associated with a person largely revered by the poorer classes. The same happened when Uiversity of Ife was renamed in 1987 in honour of Obafemi Awolowo, when a few hundred students largely of middle class origin demonstrated their objection, while the poor people in the town, carpentars, shoe makers, tailors and others who benefited from awo's reforms celebrated.

This is all about a few priviledged and educated yoruba people wanting to retain what they see as an eleitis label placing them apart from the majority of the population whom they secretly despise. If the school had been named after Barack Obama would they be protesting, even if it was done without consultation - Of course they wouldn't - they'll probably be fantasising about getting an easy visa ride in the American embassy.

Wole Soyinka is a radical and progressive Nigerian but his elitism is a well known flaw which is why he has never inspite of his undoubted courage been able to buod a mass following for his ideas.

Unilag is funded by the majority of the people of this country, not the students or their lecturers. Most ordiany Nigerians respect the sacrifices people like abiola made - they, not the spolit middle class kids kicking up a fuss in Unilag are the majority. The noisy minority in Unilag should be ignored. they will son go back to their Ipads

If they don't like the name when they receive their degrees let them rip them up. They don't own the school, the people do -i've not seen any demonstrations in mushin, shomolu, bere or sabongari against it.

If wole is not happy let him write a poem about his fury. He is a great man, but on this occasion he is wrong

Your last 3 paragraphs makes you sound like GEJ - "another dictator" and that's what civilized people are kicking against. It's a democracy man, if GEJ simply met with the university council prior to this it would have helped.

I would give u a simple answer....whatever you believe in your heart is what will happen, it starts from the subconcious before it manifest...if you believe u would get one of the few faithful guys-dats the way to start and if u also believe all guys are unfaithful when u meet a faithful he would eventually become unfaithful cos he's like u dnt trust him anyway so wat's d point...actions do speak even from the subconscious

4evergod3: ALL OF YOU WHO ARE RAINING INSULTS ON THE STUDENTS OF UNILAG..... YES TO ME ITS STILL UNILAG AT LEAST THEY CAN SPEAK WHEN POKED AND SPEAK OUT INDEED. WE ALL NEED TO LEARN HOW TO GIVE OURSELVES A VOICE AND SPEAK OUT WHEN WRONGED. WE JUST DON'T HAVE TO ALWAYS TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT AND KEEP SAYING ''DON'T WORRY EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT". SOMETIMES WE NEED TO MAKE THINGS ALRIGHT. JONATHAN OR WHATEVER HE IS CALLED NEVER FOLLOWED DUE PROCESS BEFORE THE NAME CHANGE AND AS USUAL THIS IS JUST ONE OF THEIR WAYS OF SAYING TO YOU AND I THE ORDINARY NIGERIANS THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A VOICE AND WHATEVER THEY SAY MUST STAND EVEN WHEN THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY WRONG. NIGERIANS WAKE UP. THE ISSUE NOW IS NOT JUST ABOUT GEJ AND UNILAG ITS ABOUT THE WAY OF GOVERNMENT IN GENERAL. WE ARE THE PEOPLE AND WE DESERVE A SAY IN HOW OUR AFFAIRS ARE HANDLED. PERIOD!

Couldn't have been beta said, some myopic ppl still support GEJ, d move itself was for good purpose but the way he went about it was saddening...I mean even the university council was not even involved...seems dis democracy has still not gotten it

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.

Does that mean he can change the name without consulting the university council?, by the way unilag was brought about by an act and only the house has such powers...this is a fucking democracy

danielchioboy: [color=#990000][/color]
THAT IS A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT FROM GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN. U HAVE D CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO NAME IT WAT U DEEM FIT, ITS A FEDERAL UNIVERSITY NOT STATE.
GEJ, NOW U ARE A MAN. HATERS EAT SHIT

The only mistake he made was, he didn't carry the university council along...dosen't speak well of a democratic leader

kelly22real: Please nairalanders let us joined hand to fight against Bomblast in our country.
REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS OBJECT AND PEOPLE NEAR YOU TO THE SECURITY OFFICIALS TO SAVE LIVES
BY DOING SO, I PROMISE YOU, THERE WILL BE NOTHING LIKE BOKO HARAM AGAIN.
HAPPY DEMOCRACY DAY,

I hereby report Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has serious plans to sabotage the nation, I'm not a moshoodite by the way.lmao
