Same ppl that rejected university of lagos being renamed MKO Abiola university by GEJ ? I hope the students and the gwari ppl rise up reject that rubbish
Exactly! Plain dirty politics. Why would a “wrong” pronouncement by one person suddenly be alright and perfect when made by another (most of whom fought dirty to stamp out the earlier pronouncement)? Same dirty politics with fuel subsidy removal. Smh!🤦🏽‍♂️

You're destroying the brand behind such an established entity. It's like renaming MIT or Harvard - the names alone are already a multibillion dollar value - so it's a disservice.
This is just the perfect truth

University of Abuja remains Yakubu Gowon University.

GEJ era is gone.
Jagaban is in control.

"And see how bullets would fly" You mean you would kill people for protesting peacefully?

Is that what youre saying?

P.S,I am not even for or against any name change,thats their own wahala,but you saying you would kill people who protest is what I want you to answer
Remember it is this same ppl with same tots like him are the ones that extrajudicially killed the protesters that burnt down TVC or some Tinubu stuff , they were picked up and murdered as admitted by lagos state government, when will this be investigated and ppl involved tried

hey....!!

why should you be only honoured after you are dead....??

Doing it now looks like he's trying to curry favours from Gowon
Re: Tinubu Renames University Of Abuja To Yakubu Gowon University by Nobody:
Good work Mr President.
It's very nice to rename UniAbuja after Gowon
Right step in the right direction!

Then I didn't support the renaming of Unilag after
MKO, what was I thinking? I mailed the highest office in Nigeria on Facebook -
I proposed June 12 as a National Holiday instead. That has been achieved!

But if the majority of Nigerians do want Unilag renamed after MKO Abiola or the-powers-that-be want it, we had better have it done with. It would cement the little part I took in it in my memory forever: I had used the instrumentality of my GCE/SSCE English to roundly criticize General Abacha, delved into the Saro-wiwa killing by asking for the emancipation of the Niger-Delta (a little known term at the time). Few weeks after the results came out General Abacha was no more. I was just an angry boy. What the hell was I thinking?

Thank God we have democracy today.

If we have Chukwuma Odumegwu Ojukwu University, I don't see why Gowon shouldn't have a University named after him.

But Tinubu should have waited until Gowon died.
Buhari or was it GEJ who tried to rename Unilag after Abiola, what was the outcome?

This guy must be trolling the citizens from the evil forest region. As if their wailing and gnashing of teeth has not been loud enough. Lolz. He's asking them to take it up another gear.

Nothing you 4th class citizens can do about it but the usual chestbeating (interjected with a lot of wailing and victim rantings) that you halfbred are known for.

Lolz. Are we talking about UI, OAU, UNN or Unilag? We are talking about fvcking university of Abuja. What brand do they have? Apart from probably ABU all northern universities are glorified quranic schools.
Re: Tinubu Renames University Of Abuja To Yakubu Gowon University by IMPARTIAL: 5:38pm On Dec 16, 2024
The remaining will bring down the prestige of the school.

It would look like a local school based on the renaming.

It's like naming Unilag MKO Abiola University. Thank God it was rejected.

We no dey think?

It's okay... But are the higher institutions in Nigeria well funded to make studies and research comfortable?

Buhari brought that stadium to life but this drug Barron that has done nothing is renaming it.
The only achievement of this evil government is renaming roads and infrastructure that he did not built.

Only a few gentle men like him have been to, been through and left power easily.

Why should he die before naming the University after him?
He deserves it, people like us who were adults when Gowon was head of state know his value.
