Jonathan is a disgrace for insisting on the name change when the people say NO to it. What then is democracy about? Is it government of the few? Or is it government by armtwisting with State apparatus? Oh No! I hope the Senate hears from its people. But if the Senate says YES to the name change, I believe that the House of Reps will surely say NO to it.

If this report is anyway to go by,means the legislature are not ready to respect the judiciary.After judicial precedence on this same issue they still have gut to be debated.Though M.K.O deserves more than that nau!

Idle men and women wasting our money and time flogging a dead horse.

Phonon: They won't leave UNILAG alone.Wetin we do una?

you be Unilag student?no be mechanic you be?

MISPLACED PRIORITY!!! None of Nigerian University is among 100 Best Universities in world, but dey are less concern only to chase a shadow. Dis is a Product of a Failed System

What is going on? I thought Pres. Jona decided to maintain the status quo after the hues and cries against the move. It will still fail at the floor of the senate, so there is really nothing to worry about.

Don't they have more important issues to discuss?

Frankie9ice: This MAULAG issue brings again to d fore d fact dt Gej's govt is a very divisive one (a govt of divide & rule). The primary aim of Gej in renaming Unilag after d great MKO is simply to divide d south west,...MKO's family,friends & supporters on one side,and d general public who feels there is something nostalgic,Behind,and classy about d name Unilag on d other side.
If Gej truly agrees dt MKO is deserving of National honour then he shud name University of Abuja after MKO,...he cud as well rename the National Stadium Abuja "MKO ABIOLA NATIONAL STADIUM". Truth is,Gej is simply playing politics,....he doesn't mean to honour MKO and every objective Nigerian knows dt.

Gej is doing the right thing, every june 12 some yoruba's will demand that mko be honoured, and now that Gej has done that, they are now opposing it. Is it not hypocrisy on their part? Remember mko is from the west

olaolaking: This Gej dey really fall my hand o. why not name ASO ROCK VILLA AFTER MKO. MKO ABIOLA PRESIDENTIAL VILLA. simple !

like if you agree

The is, does mko abiola deserves to be honoured or not? If you can answer that question, then you will not have a problem with what Gej is only. Unless june 12 is all about selfish people, which most of you were supporting.

emerald topaz: lmao....dude i love ur pm,no one can b more apt & precise in describing nairaland

am sweeter than my pm.

Wuz all diz fuss abt renaming a damn warehouse

The federal government has the right to change the name of any federal institutions.

slimyem: Why is Jonathan this stubborn?
Why are they wasting time on something that'll NEVER materialise?...as in NEVER EVER materialise!!

bolakale30: This F.G no dey hear word... If I hear say we gree, this time around na bombing tins, maybe part of our amnesty program will be restoring the name... Hehehehehe...m yeye people... If u are an akokite, like this post

It's enough.

Does changing the Name to MAULAG diminish the University's good/bad reputation. NO! it doesn't.

moshoodn: UNILAG is under fire...

Just because of you(MOSHOOD)

Van snickers:

It's enough.

Sey wetin ? Which side u dey ?

Wait a minute, EFCC is run on federal character? HABA BABAGANA?

What on earth gives credence to running our foremost unit against anticorruption on the basis of region? Even the army does not promote on regional basis

What I would like is to name it Goodluck Ebele Jonathan University... If he can not.. Then leave it alone...

tolex34:
Just because of you(MOSHOOD)

Bro I wish o....

Moshood Abiola University all the way..... Gej is now going tru tha right channel, why the complain fellas. Face your studies students and stop whining. As for the us the graduates of UNILAG lets ratify the name and contribute our own quota to d development of our alma matar jus like MKO did with his money.

This is a great gesture to Yoruba people naming a uni to one of the most recognisable Yoruba man after Awo.
