If the people of Lagos can reject the renaming of UNILAG to Moshood Abiola UNILAG by GEJ, Abuja people have they right to reject the renaming of UNIABUJA.

MadPolitician:
Tinubu is heavily engrossed in anti igbo politics and someone close to him should tell him that such taunting tactics do not rattle the igbos anymore. No one worries about his tribal approach to national issues as everyone knows he can't do better. Going all out to celebrate a man who was responsible for the killing of millions of igbos at this juncture in Nigerias history is just pure petty politics. It is like Nwesom Wike renaming the PH stadium over the same Gowon at the height of his anti igbo outbursts while he was the governor of RiversState. .. You win nobody over with such moves. You only stiffen resolves elsewhere.

Wike committed a genocide at Obigbo, and suddenly he became tinubus favourite politician. Bayo Onanuga went on his infamous anti igbo rant and said some of the most unspeakable things about the igbo, Tinubu rewarded him with a top position in his government. Buhari was endlessly lambasting and lampooniing the igbos..., the more he did, the more support he got from Tinubu, Obidients had their minor roforofo with Wole Soyinka and all of a sudden, Tinubu started naming streets and highways after Wole. Reno Omokiri them...
Now this..

This is a very odious pattern from a man who formed a political party whose integral political outlook revolves around petty ethnic baits and primutive taunts.

This argument is completely shallow and unbefitting of students of a tertiary institution. Complete nonsense!!! Was Gowon not a symbol of national unity? Would Abuja have become the capital if Nigeria had been balkanised by Biafra soldiers and Ojukwu? A leader that fought for our national existence and unity is not befitting of being given such honour? What a myopic and stupid argument!!!
Re: Abuja Indigenous Students Reject Renaming Uniabuja After Gowon by Officialgarri: 8:57pm On Dec 18, 2024
Yes, if the indigenes say they do not want something, their opinion must be respected. Abuja is not the West where they are trampled upon by outsiders because of the title of "good and accommodating people"

In 3 decades to come, the west will be tenants in their father's houses. It's not a prophecy it's a clear vision

If not for having a terribly small mind you ought to have realized that Gowon achieved a milestone of 90 years and while you may see him as an enemy of your people, in the larger context of Nigerian history, he is the president who kept this country together.

Soyinka equally achieved a major milestone in age and was celebrated all over the country. In any case, how exactly can Soyinka be said to have offended Igbos in particular by his conflict with Obidients? Are you admitting something we don't know about the nature and thrust of the Obidient movement?

As for Wike, it is obvious the role he plays as a 5th columnist within the PDP. This deserves no comment.

Clowns....instead of them seeking how they and their children will be guaranteed admission slots annually.
Many of them no graduate from the school talk less of go to the school.
Misplaced priority. However do they have a befitting indigene the school should be named after? It's a Federal University.
But they can go ahead and express themselves

Re: Abuja Indigenous Students Reject Renaming Uniabuja After Gowon by RevDesm0ndJuju: 9:11pm On Dec 18, 2024
Just imagine how daft these idiots are.

Who even made them "Abuja indigenes"?

Do they even know who or what Abuja stands for?

Abuja and it's twin city Suleja are named after two notorious Arab slavers , Abubakr and Sulemane who raided the geographically area aforementioned that were occupied by the Gbagi, Gwari and Bassa people.

To even still hold reverence to the naming of your ancestral lands to those who terrorised and enslaved your people just shows how daft these idiots are.

Instead of them leading the call to have both Abuja and Suleja renamed to reflect the true aboriginal people , you are all here defending it.

Foolish idiots. No wonder FG could seize your lands.

They keep shouting Gowon killed Igbo people, But will never say anything about the evil Ojukwu did against South South people, mainly the Ijaw people.
