Odunnu: Mcheeew, polygamist.

No, I will marry only one. Only you will wear the ring.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]In an act which many believe is ill-timed, not well thought-out, illegal, and an attempt to divide the SW, GEJ has succeeded in changing the political game, albeit accidentally. All of a sudden, calls for the prosecution of fuel subsidy thieves have disappeared, the N155billion scandal, and several other national issues have been placed on the back burner and replaced by the "outrage" of renaming Unilag. Even Tinubu publicly announced that the renaming of Unilag was a welcome development, effectively silencing further opposition by SWers to GEJ's act.

Are we now seeing a GEJ who after seeming to have outsmarted Northern politicians and thieves, has now initiated his plans for the recapture of the SW by PDP? The whole thing seems accidental to be, but one thing seems certain, this man, GEJ, is one lucky fellow.[/quote]ndu_chucks I expected you to know better. This move has not benefited Jonathan in any way. Imagine the thousands of UNILAG students and alumni with their sympathizers who before now still think something good can come out of Jonathan that would have written him off as clueless and visionless. And we are talking of people of voting age. This move has only reduce his support base if anything and reinforced the camp of his opposition who had already written him off.

Also the temporary shift of focus from the calls on Jonathan to fight corruption will work against him in the future. It will be on record that there was massive corruption under his government and he did nothing about it. It would have been better for him for the calls to be sustained and he carries out some cosmetic fight against corruption...ala OBJ style. When the time comes and when it matter most he will be reminded of his inability to fight corruption.

Either way IMO, his advisers are more clueless than him.

Odunnu: You should know me better than that. I choose my friends and love my privacy. I hate all these invasion. Its sickening

I know...just pulling your legs hopping I might see sontin in between them

Odunnu: Three slaps, sey?
Correct!

No. 3 bottles of good wine and 3 correct babes; 1 Hausa, One Igbo/SS and One Yoruba

I see no betrayal here. If anything I will say it serves the writer right.

What girl takes 2 years to know if a man is right for her or not? And what stupid test was she carrying out on him that was not concluded in 2 years? She deserves the loss and the smarter girl who knew what she wanted and was able to make up her mind on time deserves the guy.

The writer was a time waster. This is what happen to people who take what they have for granted.

Odunnu: Exactly!

What is exactly!? Like you are not enjoying the crowd following you. You think I don't know?

stillwater: Arrggghhhhhhh!!!!

Bribe me, I will tell you her full name and house address

jennykadry: Ehnn just so you don't think I am stingy., I can "borrow you" oam4jenny for just one night but after he is done campaigning. Here you go, oam4jenny at your beck and call. . . . . and a nice music for you both

Jenny. . . the night with BB was goooooooooodddddddddddddd!

BB is asking me to spend more time with her..... Actually there are some part of her that can do with some extra massages.

BTW, she's got some styles/moves we need to check out when next we meet... except that I wonder if you are still flexible enough for such styles. Since I broke one of your ribs in a competition of 'who lasts longer' between me and sagamite, you have not been the same again.

Erm... also one of her birthday gifts include a 2012 Range Rover, she said I can go with it for a good night-job well done. Thank her for me ooooo....

“The Federal Government did not go through due process because UNILAG was established by an Act of Parliament. The proposal should have come to the National Assembly and it should have been properly debated and approved before the announcement by the President."

My point exactly!

Nigerians will decide UNILAG’s name change, says senator

As the controversy over the renaming of the University of Lagos continues, Nigerians through their representatives in both chambers of the National Assembly will take the final decision on the fate of the higher institution.

The senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Gbenga Ashafa, said this in Lagos yesterday at a news conference to mark his one year in the Senate.

Ashafa said the late Abiola deserved the highest honour in the land because of his contributions to democracy.

He said: “Chief M. K. O. Abiola deserves all the honour; in fact, not only one institution should have been named after him, many monuments should have been dedicated to his memory. The Federal Government’s gesture is rather late, it should have come long before now.

“The timing of the announcement is insensitive when the remains late vice-chancellor of the institution have not been buried. I wonder why the Federal Government had to do such a controversial thing in a university environment.

“The Federal Government did not go through due process because UNILAG was established by an Act of Parliament. The proposal should have come to the National Assembly and it should have been properly debated and approved before the announcement by the President.

“The Senate and the House of Representatives will look at it critically. After the due process might have been complied with, it may still be the same UNILAG or the University of Abuja or even the National Stadium that will be named after Chief M. K. O. Abiola. Nigerians will have their say when the issue is tabled before the National Assembly.”

The senator appealed to students of the institution not to be violent and destructive in their protests.

Odunnu: Aboki! Who asss you? Longmouth.

Who else can speak for you if not your prospective hubby.

Odunnu: Coogar?, quit joking. I am serious and No! I'm not Igbo

The only thing remaining for you to be a complete Nigerian lady is for you to marry a proper Yorubaman like me.

Odunni: Parents from South=South, born and raised in the North, went to University and currently lives in South East, hopefully will end of as wife of a prominent Yorubaman like OAM4J

bayooooooo: This cartoon would be a perfect example of plagiarism if Ebenezer Obey was not properly acknowledged.

True!

Got nothing.

The name ‘University of Lagos’ is derived from an Act of the National Assembly, to amend the name means the National Assembly will have to ratify the executive decision to make it valid. So far we know such has not taken place since the deliberations of National Assembly are done in the open.

People talked about similar changes under the military forgetting that the military councils have both the legislative and executive powers.

Fact is, only the arm of government responsible for the naming of an institution can change the name.

Present Sir. The codes pls.

nice!

We’ll implement presidential directive on UNILAG - NUC

•As knocks, kudos continue to trail govt’s decision
•Parents’ forum wants decision reversed
•Sofoluwe, UNILAG VC, buried
•Students take protest to funeral service

THE Executive Secretary (ES) of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Professor Julius Okojie, has decried the tendency of university students in the country to react to everything these days,

following the protest of students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) over the renaming of the institution as Moshood Abiola University, Lagos.

He told State House correspondents in a chat in Abuja, on Thursday, that since President Goodluck Jonathan as the Visitor to the institution had changed its name, it was left for the appropriate government agencies to implement the directive.

Professor Okojie noted that what the president did was not strange, as other institutions had similarly been renamed in the past, saying, “We are familiar with these issues. I have been in the university system for this long. I speak as Executive Secretary of NUC and a regulator of universities.

“We have heard Ife (Obafemi Awolowo University) changed in 1987. We have heard University of Sokoto now Uthman Dan Fodio; we have heard Yola, Modibbo Adamawa; we have Nnamdi Azikiwe which was University of Awka before. This is about the seventh.

“The president had announced that we want to honour Abiola on Democracy Day which everybody thinks is in order.

“There is nothing you do in the university system these days that students won’t react to, whether it is increase of fees or what have you. The president has given a directive; the rest is for us to follow the implementation.”

The NUC boss also dispelled insinuations that there was no consultation before the decision to change the name was reached but added that the necessary steps would be taken before it would take effect.

He noted that it was not possible for President Jonathan to have acted alone on the matter, revealing that as in the case of the establishment of nine new federal universities, a committee had worked on the honouring of the presumed winner of the 1993 presidential election, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola, with renaming of UNILAG after him.

“Even matters of nine new universities, from the scratch I know the committee that worked on it. Jonathan is the most engaging president, he is very accessible, I can tell you that. That he didn’t consult will not be true,” he said.

Reacting in particular to the suggestion that the governing council of the school was not consulted, Professor Okojie said “the president has never said there is no due process, he has not said we should go and pull down the billboard of University of Lagos today and put Moshood Abiola. He is a man who believes in due process and he won’t do anything out of the ordinary.”

In another development, the remains of the late vice chancellor of the University of Lagos, Professor Adetokunbo Sofo-luwe, were lowered into the grave at 1.30 p.m at the Ikoyi Vaults and Garden, on Thursday, amidst emotions by wife, Funmi and other relatives.

The interment was accompanied by tight security, following the plan of the riotous students of the university to move the protest against the re-naming of the institution to the late vice chancellor’s burial.

Earlier in the day, hundreds of the student-protesters had invaded the All Saints Church, Montgomery, Yaba, to honour the dead vice chancellor and also used the occasion to call on the Federal Government to rescind its decision on the renaming of the institution.

The students defied the downpour in Yaba, which began shortly after the funeral service, to echo their grievances against the new name, Moshood Abiola University, stating that they had stormed the church as part of the procession to see off the late vice chancellor.

Addressing the crowd outside the church, spokesman for the students said the two-week compulsory holiday imposed by the university management would not stop them from expressing their minds.

According to him, the closure of the university by the management was an indication that it was ready to compromise with the government.

In his sermon, the Diocesan Bishop of the church, Reverend Adebayo Akinde described the late Sofoluwe as a friend that he would miss so much.

Meanwhile, the University of Lagos Parent’s Forum has kicked against the re-naming of the institution.

In a statement jointly signed by its chairman, Mr B. B. Majekodunmi and the general secretary, Mrs Victoria Osinuga, a copy of which was made available to the Nigerian Tribune, the forum said the change of name took it by surprise, adding that it was a decision to satisfy some people who were not happy with the President Jonathan-led administration.

According to the forum, the late Chief M. K. O. Abiola was a champion of democracy and worth immortalising, adding, however, that changing the name of the university was uncalled for, because the name, University of Lagos was not a social identity but a brand identity.

How best to honour Abiola, by Tinubu

[img]http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/thumbnail.php?file=ASIWAJU_005_983997246.jpg&size=article_medium[/img]

Former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has suggested ways the Federal Government can honour the late Chief Moshood Abiola.

He suggested the naming of a national monument in the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja) after Abiola, his posthumous declaration as president and the setting aside of a day in his honour.

He contended that though the President’s decision to rename the University of Lagos (Unilag) after Abiola was welcome, it falls short of what is required.

Tinubu spoke in Lagos on Wednesday while receiving protesting students of the university. Numbering about 100, the students, who handed a protest letter to the former governor, said they were in his Freedom House, Victoria Island office to express their displeasure over the renaming of their school.

Tinubu said: “We must congratulate the president for attempting to do it, but we say: do it right. MKO was elected by the entire country, not just by the Yoruba. He was arrested and taken to Abuja.

“He was tried, incarcerated and eventually died in very controversial circumstances in Abuja under the custody of federal agents. Abiola’s mandate was a national mandate which he tried to reclaim.

“But we must be careful not to localise or sectionalise MKO. Without Abiola, without June 12 elections, we would not be enjoying this democracy now or even the freedom we now have. The seed for what we enjoy was sown by Abiola’s victory on June 12 and millions of Nigerians who voted.

“There are preliminary options for President Jonathan. There is a pending resolution by the National Assembly that recommended that the National Stadium be named after Moshood Abiola.

“Let the President go ahead and name the Abuja stadium after Abiola- a pillar of sports and political icon. Then we will celebrate and respect that.

“Before now, various excuses were given over the inconclusiveness of the elections. Some of us were incarcerated and suffered during the June 12 struggle. Since then, the various actors, especially the umpire or head of the Electoral Commission, Prof. Humphrey Nwosu, in his book declared the result of the election and that Abiola duly won.

“The President can on the basis of this go to the National Assembly to declare him winner, enter it into record and posthumously declare Abiola as the democratically-elected president of Nigeria. We will support the President on this and recognise this.

“I won’t stop saying the truth. I won’t stop supporting and promoting the democratic ideals I believe in; we must depart from doing things by fiat as if we are under the military.”

To the protesting students, Tinubu said: “You have the right to air your grievances over this matter. Let me speak to you as a mentor and a leader. Though I am in support of your position, but do not criticise the government without giving it alternatives.”

Tinubu urged the students to find a constructive way to tell the President what options are open to him. He cited the National Stadium, Abuja, National Hospital Abuja (where Abiola died), Eagle Square and the International Conference Centre, Abuja.

Some of the student leaders said they were not against the move to immortalise Abiola, but were opposed to the motive behind the renaming of their school.

They argued that the President’s decision was not informed by his belief that Abiola should be immortalised, but an attempt by his government to trivialise Abiola’s name and gain political relevance in the Southwest.

The Coordinator, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Zone D, Adeyemo Monsuru Tunde, said: “The President is not immortalising Abiola because he loves the Yoruba, but he is doing so to gain his lost political relevance across the geo-political zones in Nigeria, particularly in South West of Nigeria,”

A former Senate President, Unilag, Agbabiaka Ahmed, said the renaming of their school will not only destroy the brand name it had grown and maintained for 50 years, it was also capable of demoralising the students.

Ahmed, who later handed Tinubu the protest letter written on behalf of ‘concerned University of Lagos alumni, students and youths of Lagos State,’ wondered why the Federal Government failed to consult the school’s Executive, Governing Council and other relevant stakeholders before taking its decision.

The daughter of the late Abiola, Mrs. Hafsat Abiola-Costello, welcomed the honour.

In a statement yesterday, Mrs. Abiola-Costello described her father as an icon of democracy.

Praising President Goodluck Jonathan for the honour, she said the best way to immortalise her father was through transparent, free and fair elections, obedience to the rule of law, due process and banishment of injustice, poverty and want.

She urged the Federal Government to revisit the circumstances surrounding the death of her father to effectively close that dark period in Nigeria’s history and prevent a recurrence.

Mrs. Abiola-Costello said: “It was the sacrifices of pro-democracy activists, the supreme price paid by my father and other martyrs that led to the current civil rule.”
