₦airaland Forum

BabaTony: What stupid brand are people talking about.is it academics? I don't think so. The only brand unilag is known for is prostitution, the highest number of female prostitutes with the internationally recognised aristos throwing nigeria's stolen money around.

See the rubbish you wrote. Who says unilag is known for prostitution? Don't you know that unilag has produced great people? Just stay outta it.

Let us see where this will end. University of Lagos will remain University of Lagos. The Alumni, Parent Association Staff and students of Unilag will never recognisd that name. And for ignorant people, the alumni is also a major stakeholder in the school because they fund projects in the school as well. Since all those connected to the school don't want the name, why force it on them. Besides, the money that wil b spent on this can be used to equip the labs and build additional hostels for d school.

There are a lot of gullible people on this forum. For those who support the name change, give me three reasons why the name of unilag should be changed jo maulag. Good reasons, not vag.ue reasons.

This news is false. Fellow Nigerians please do your research well before posting. The bill has to pass 3 readings and besides, the senate is in recess for 2 weeks. I just checked it. For all those rejoicing, i pity u all. Don't you know that this will waste our money? This is unnecessary. People are hungry.

This is the National Assembly's chance to prove themselves. This is the time to prove 2 Nigerians that they are no stooge to GEJ.

The National assembly should throw that bill out. That is a complete waste of time.

Ibime: The Assembly will ask GEJ to share N20 bln to pass this bill, and knowing how many times GEJ has performed a volt-face (no going back on subsidy etc), he might not want to be caught with his pants down again. That would leave us with the ridiculous scenario of GEJ sharing money to the Assembly for an unnecessary bill that everyone protested against, just so GEJ can save face.

Can you imagine that? Waste of money. The senators gotta earn our respect by trashing that letter. There are more important things to debate about instead of name change.

If the house of assembly takes this letter serious, that will be an indictment on the National assembly too. If not, why is the Petroleum Industry Bill that will benefit Nigerians not passed yet? That is a more important bill. Senate pls face the pib bill and throw out this name change letter.

Doesn't the president have better things to do with his time and money. Do you know the financial implication of renaming a university? Please, let him invest the money in the educational sector not in name change.. God help us in this country.

Mr Beaf, may God forgive you. Say amen to this sincere prayer.

Does GEJ think we are stupid? Michael Opara Univ. Of Agric. has been enforced already. If you doubt this check jamb website or brochure. His advisers must have been paid to destroy him. He should be very careful or else....

Let all Nigerians irrespective of tribe say no to irresponsible leadership. That is the only way Nigeria can move forward. If we continue to tolerate irresponsible leaders, the future wil be very bleak.

Why is President Jonathan behaving this way? Why? Nigerians, if any politician tells you that he had no shoes, don't vote him o!:-) We have better things to do with money than wasting money on this name change.. He should face the subsidy scam report and the pension scam.

This is medicine after death. I thought he said no going back.

Demlad99: I don't
think there's anything MAULAG students can do about the change. They
should embrace it and face their academics. I'll like to see how the
case turns out though.

The name change has not been effected, so the school's name remains unilag. use you sense please.

the govt not having refuted that
1. The school came to life tru an Act of Parliament
2. The said Act provides for the name
3. The common law on procedure to amend any section of an Act is to come
b4 d Parliament
4. They did not approach the NASS
it makes d case for d students easier.
And mark my words, d first issue FG will bring in defence of d suit
would be a preliminary objection challenging d locus standi ( the right
to sue) of the 10 students. If d students surmount that part, d ride
becomes easier.[/quote]at last, somebody is using his head. we need people who use their brains in this country.

Let all Nigerians come out say no to irresponsible govt. the best way to do this is not to sell your vote and put inec under pressure to conduct free and fair elections.

For those who believe that the president can take decisions with impunity, a auestion for you, is that how to practice democracy that pple said Abiola fought for? See the contrast. All the stakeholders in the university of lagos don't want the name. And he wants to shove the name down their throat? Do you know what democracy really is?

i don't know why some people don't think with their head. Those in support of this name change are being sentimental. Why is it only @the students they keep calling. What about the lecturers, staff, alumni and parent association that are all vehemently against it? Does it mean that they are all stupid? Answers please!

jerseyboy: You are not a student of history. History can be very dispassionate. It will see Abiola, IBB, Abacha etc for what they truly are. Charlatans. What history will debate is why we tolerated these years of misrule.

gbam!

people like beaf are meant to be dealt with seriously. They come on this forum and tell a lot of lies. The students, lecturers and the alumni dont want the name. Period. Did acn pay the lecturers and the alumni too?

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Unilag = school of cultists + Aristos[/quote]You are a foolish fool... how can you say all students of unilag are either cultists or aristos? This is a big insult.

Jenams: u mean τ̅o say u dey MAULag? Hehehe. Unilag Is dead bro. Wake up!!!!

who said that? We are waiting... Shameless policemen who want to deny students their right to protest. Instead of him to face security threats or lifting the economy, he is changing name. Never will that name be changed. Simple. Oga Joe doesn't own the school and this is a democracy. Say no to Maulag. Unilag forever. That is our identity.

False alarm! No b unilag i dey? It is only armour tank that is at the gate. Where is teargas?

Nemerem44: The name "MAU" has come to stay whether we like it or not. If Akokites like, let them Gather 100,000 signatures for the protest, there's no going back to what GEJ has said. It's like u guys are yet to understand this govt.

We will see about that. When he says he is allocating 2 billion naira to change the name, then you will join the protests.

Hemanwel: I c dis on-ongoin protest b d students of MAULAG(formerly unilag) as a childish act.Just cos d name of ur institutn doesnt sound tushed or sweet anymore,ur embarkin on a protest.Does d name change affect d content of d institutn:does it affect d fact dat d facilities in d institutn r over-stretched;does it affect d fact dat u stil gat saddist as ur lecturers;does it affect d fact dat there's a fallen standard n deplorable conditn of d hostels?All dese exist in d institutn n u neva protested but 2 a trivial change of name.Besides,wu owns d institutn?wu determines wot name it's being called? " Senate n d Governin Council of d sch were not pre-informed...".Even if dey were,dey wudnt hv had d right 2 object it.It's like askin a landlord 2 seek approval 4rm his tenants b4 he paints his own house.Dey say d process GEJ tuk is undemocratic.Fine,I agree.Does it nw warrant stagin a protest against d name change?I stil hvnt heard any concrete reason y unilag cant b changed 2 MOSHOOD ABIOLA UNIVERSITY.I doubt if hell wil b let loosed if dis change waz done by OBJ.My advice 2 current MAUL students:if ur not okay wit dis change,abeg go siddon 4 hot plate.AM OUTTA HERE!!

mumu like you. Don't you know that if this kind of behaviour is not checked, he will continue to spring up surprises. Besides, you don't mix politics with education. Afterall, OAU was established and built by Obafemi Awolowo led Action Group, Ahmadu bello university was built by NPC led by Ahmadu Bello. I knowAbiola didn't build the school, or built any structure in it. If he truly wanted to honor him, he should hav named a national monument that all Nigerians identify with. Not playing politics with his name.

That name will never change. Mark my words. For the people talking about swag, it is not about the swag, it is about mixing politics with education, besides, why is it that our university are named after politicians and not scientists or other achievers like Gani fawehinmi who fought for the masses, was harrased bx the govt and suffered for the country till he died.

Many people, especially our so called elders don't see what i i see. If this unruly behaviour is not checked, he will come up with another illegal decision. Can't you remember what happened on the first of january?Besides MKO has been honoured enough.

We would never recognize the name. It is University of Lagos we know and we will forever know. Mko is overhyped, and this a criminal who declared himself president. Why should his name be on my certificate?

Abiola was a criminal. simple and short. the truth is bitter but that is it. Remember International thief thief by fela? Gani was much better. fought for the masses till his painful death. Gani deserves more honor than what he got.
