What President did is for his own selfish interest just to secure the south west vote but to honour Abiola. Its indeed a hypocrisy. Reno Omokri is unbiased because he always tell the truth no matter how bitter its is.

SuperS1Panther:
If he did because of SW votes that is a lie. He had our vote in 2015.

He just consolidated it with this heart warming announcement.

If you are not happy with the news, you are an enemy of democracy and SW.

SalamRushdie:


There was nothing Ill advised about naming Unilag after Abiola except the fact that whole APC and South West were bent on embarrassing Jonathan at every turn so even of he had made June 12 MKO abiola they would have still protested ... we all remember how when Jonathan removed subsidy the South West led the protest against him but yet we're quiet when Buhari removed subsidy and increased fuel price to 145 and then secretly re -intoduced subsidy 3 times more at 1.4 trillion naira without budgetary provision yet the South West is quiet ...

Do you now see an average Yoruba will betray you when you least expected? Can't you see that the same fellows that are chanting #BackToDaura are the same people insulting Reno

The shame is on those who blindly ignore or failed to understand Buhari is a failure amd declaration of 12
june is a hypocrisy mean to secure the vote Yorubas. What IBB and OBJ achieved in their regime this clueless president won't achieve it even if you give him thrice tenure. He will still blame and make excuses.

madridguy:
Reno and his useless ranting as usual. You're condemning PMB for this long awaited news by the good people of Nigeria but you and your fellow PDP member are roaming about the devil IBB that annulled the best, credible election in history of Nigeria.

Shame on you Reno.

Let Pa OBJ talk nonsense again and let see if the good people of Abeokuta will not tear his cloth.

Nigeriabiafra80:
was it the biafrans that went to court to repeal that name or u just choose to rest your blame somewhere

There was no need for court as even the university senate objected to it.

These idiotic pigs of biafra from west cannot sleep tonight, even through out this month.
Reno, FFk and fayose

In fact, this is a big blow to fayose reelection of his third term bid.

Has he upheld the democratic values Abiola stood for ?

Is he exhibiting the human right dignity Gani has always preached?

Anything short of that is sheer hypocrisy to garner sympathy votes from the South west..

Good award though

Truth is bitter

Jonathan is not so desperate to secure the vote of Yorubas and what Jonathan has achieved in his just 6 years of transformation, Buhari won't achieve it because he already spent 3 years without initite, start and finish a single project.

Throwback:
If only Reno was sensible enough to have advised Jonathan that this was a better honour that recognizes that Abiola won the election and staked his life for a noble cause that was both personal and nationalist, rather than attempting to rename Unilag which itself is an already established icon of our tertiary education.

Did Reno ever berate Jonathan for his own desperation when he attempted to do similar political gimmick with an ill-advised renaming of Unilag?

now I see why there is so much duplications of functions in the nigerian state. . .why declare june 12 democracy day when already we have May 29. . .so what are we gojng to call May 29th henceforth. . .or we have 2 democracy days in the country. . .well workers will have enough days added as public holidays in the nations calender. .na wa o

Throwback:



Two totally different things.

Let the Biafrans I saw on the news who were students of Unilag and were recorded saying that what nonsense name is Maulag or Moshood, that they don't want such a rubbish name, let them also protest about a holiday that is not within their power.

Can one protest a holiday that the federal government has mandated?

Hypocrisy is when all Nigerians protest oil price increments during the OBJ regime, but some suddenly embraced such increases without a protest, because their son was the president, as though the SouthWest that championed all the similar oil protests during the OBJ regime did not know he was their son.

Tell me two 2 oil protests championed by the west under obj

[quote author=SamuelAnyawu post=68247802][b] PMB has won the hearts of SW finally. Sincerely who ever advised him on this feat is surely a wise political guru


PDP ain't serious for 2019 Presidential Election...[/b]jagaban is still alive.

This upper cut will affect fayose third term bid

More than 4 different oil protest and strikes occurred under the OBJ regime.

The SouthWest was not relaxing in their homes while others were protesting, rather they were leading the protest.

wat the hell are u talking about....I for one was part of the 2012 oil subsidy protests in enugu.

Do u suppose that all nigerians live in lagos, therefore nothing else happen in other parts of Nigeria.

Even gej's re-election bid in the east did not see the usual voter turn out like b4

Let me tell u the simple truth, 4get propaganda u are fed by tinubu, many Igbos felt as disgusted of gej as yorubas did...the only difference is that u guys saw buhari as an option (i did also) while many potential igbo voters who hated gej didnt. Hence they stayed home during election, voting for neither

Nigeriabiafra80:
what a great infrastructure, holiday for west military chief for north, same person that praise abacha who killed abiola, honestly I now know some people are just educationally declined why claiming most educated

Abayomi Olonishakin is the chief of defence staff, and while Abacha might have Jailed Abiola, he definitely did not kill him, because abacha died two months before Abiola.

As for infrastructure, visit the website of the Federal ministry of power, works and housing, who knows, the road to your village might even be under construction right now.

PerformOrResign:
Reading through this comments just make me see how dumb Nigerian youths are. Reno is so intelligent and smart and yet he tries to share this intelligence with our youths but all they do is castigate their helper. God save Nigeria

Nigerian youth are not dumb but are blinded by sentiment due to religious alliances/ ethnicity

Vatsyayana:
You're the joke.

How is he the joke ? Is it not stupid and cynical of Buhari to align himself with Abiola in death when he never did so in life ? Where was Buhari when we fought for Nigeria's democracy ?

Keep silent if you have nothing to say.

When they say read, Una no go gree. Na to dey run to make comments anyhow. If you had read the signed press release, you would have seen where it was stated June 12 now replaces May 29.

Henceforth, May 29 becomes what it is, May 29th, an ordinary day of the month.

Mind you that 2012 was not the first time Nigerians would protest oil price increase since the current democracy.

The factual news well reported from the SouthSouth and SouthEast, showed that the populace had no sympathies for labour and civil societies, regarding the strike and protest against the 2012 fuel price hike and subsidy removal.

You might have been personally disgusted with GEJ, but to say many Igbos were disgusted by GEJ is belied by the support he always had from Igbos on most social media and socio- political gatherings.

I don't need to show you what I watched live on TV.

Maybe you were living in Cameroun when NLC of Oshiomhole and Civil Rights activists always protested every fuel price hike that Obasanjo and the likes of Gauis Obaseki and Funso Kupolokun of NNPC, always managed to engineer as a better alternative to fight bunkering of petroleum products earlier designated for Nigerian cities into other West African states. Or all his attempts to deregulate the price of petroleum products that resulted to higher pump prices.

All those protests were championed from Lagos, with very active participation of Yoruba activists and academia. Even Ogun state residents also ensured that the state was locked down to comply with the no movement policy of those Sit-At-Home strikes.


In fact, I remember specifically that for the 2012 protest, some news stations were reporting from Enugu, where Gov. Sullivan Chime took it upon himself to ensure that the state workers did not comply with the Labour unions, while there was no sign of protest at all.

News footage from Bayelsa did not even show that we were in the same country with that state. Everything was going on normal, while those interviewed all said Labour and Civil Societies should show more understanding to the federal government.


Yet when the victory of N85/Ltr was achieved from N140/Ltr, it was a victory for the whole of Nigeria.


That was when I knew how badly the "our son" mentality that was so evident in that 2012 protest, had eroded the Nigerian unity to criticise and challenge a useless government.

clefstone:
Buhari is just one hyped hypocrite. He knows clearly that his performance on the job cannot earn him a second term he has finally opted to work on the sentiment of the SW. Where was Buhari's voice in all those years of the June 12 struggle? Where was his voice when his principal incarcerated MKO? He has finally found his voice less than a year to d election.

If you see the way I'm shinning and flashing my teeth while reading this post ehn, you would pity yourself. I'm happy seeing you wail uncontrollably.

God bless you President Muhammadu Buhari!
Nigeria's President for 8years!!

Sirjamo:
Only a Bastard southwesterner would not vote Buhari again in 2019, with all the infrastructural development he's giving us, and now this! I know I will never regret the decision to be a staunch Buharist.

Is oshomole now a yoruba man? Are there no longer igbos in the labour congress of obj era? So oshomole's protest is now a yoruba protest? Geez Just listen to yourself mister. So only yorubas work in lagos? Only yorubas are in nlc lagos chapter? Why didnt u tell me of wat ur 'news stations' said of ekiti or ondo during the 2012 subsidy protest? Meanwhile i shoud believe that a protest i participated in did not hold because ur 'news station' which is unverifiable told u so?

U see why i told u that u lack credibility?

I was expecting you to say the bolded, but you forgot that many like you claimed Yorubas championed the protest of 2012.


So were the NLC and TUC presidents (Abdulwahid Omar and Peter Esele) Yoruba?

Is it only Yorubas that live and work in Lagos or Ojota?

Or have Igbos not tirelessly claimed the Yorubas opposed subsidy removal in 2012 and protested in Ojota?

You see how you just disgraced yourself for nothing?

I used your own argument to disgrace you so effortlessly.


And I'm sure you were not blind to my mention of Yoruba civil rights activist and academia, and even politicians I never mentioned like the Afenifere organization, and other senior Yoruba Labour activists who were not the president of the central Labour Union but were presidents of specific unions.

I hope you remember activists like Gani Fawehinmi, Beko Ransome-Kuti, Wole Soyinka etc who were always at the fore front of such protests during the OBJ years.

While the likes of Ankio Briggs suddenly lost their activism when their Son was in power.


We watched everything live, and we saw how the SouthSouth and SouthEast detached itself from the rest of Nigeria in a struggle that was national.

Till today, even Igbos on this forum claim it was a Yoruba and Northern protest, so I don't know why you are trying to revise an history that was televised?

With this move Buhari has shown that he is very vulnerable. He understands that SW vote is very crucial to his re-election. But no one should be deceived because his second coming will be lethal for everyone.

I have shown u that the 2012 protests were indeed national. By my link in my earlier post u can see that it held in Enugu. If u ascribe the opinion of internet trolls to represent Igbos then u should go back to school and quit talking politics

You see how you just disgraced yourself for nothing?

I used your own argument to disgrace you so effortlessly.

i hope u can see that the shame belongs to u. U used the arguement of faceless ppl against me cos u lack retentive memory that i was indeed part of the protests and couldnt have said they were yoruba protests

And I'm sure you were not blind to my mention of Yoruba civil rights activist and academia, and even politicians I never mentioned like the Afenifere organization, and other senior Yoruba Labour activists who were not the president of the central Labour Union but were presidents of specific unions.

for every yoruba activist involved in those protests, there were corresponding igbo, hausa, tiv etc activists

I hope you remember activists like Gani Fawehinmi, Beko Ransome-Kuti, Wole Soyinka etc who were always at the fore front of such protests during the OBJ years.

fr. Mbaka, alex ekwueme, ojukwu, okadigbo, sen.chimerije all spoke heavily against obj

While the likes of Ankio Briggs suddenly lost their activism when their Son was in power.

IamaNigerianGuy:

Shut up if you have nothing to say.

I have something to say and it's the Fact that Buhari is next President of Nigeria. If you're not happy with that. Take a suspension to Libya. Come back in 2023 or so soon thereafter. The option to seek asylum is also not left our. Remember you're just 'a' Nigerian Guy not the 'only' Nigerian Guy!

God willing, if I had the chance, i will vote Buhari again in 2019. Southwest gained more under this government, so why won’t I vote for buhari . Wailers can die , I don’t give a damn.

The truth is that Yoruba's are not good students of history or will I say they are too emotional,

The Fulani's used awolowo, akintola, abiola,obasanjo, and tinubu and they are still using tinubu,

As if that's not enough, they want to now use June 12 to use the entire yoruba race again and I can see some of them dancing on a mere declaration from the terrorist in aso rock,

If they fall for this common trap, that will be the beginning of their end after 2019 election because what is happening in benue and taraba will escalate to nook and cranny of south west, they will see the real buhari after 2019,they are thinking that buhari will die on seat, no way, buhari already know the ulterior motive of tinubu that why pmb doesn't want to trust or take his advice,

How I wish this Yoruba people can see the hand-writting on the wall and the level of hatred buhari has for them,

The truth is that the Yoruba's are betrotted to serve the interest of their Fulani masters forever,

I rest my case.
