yd849ja: Let me say that I am not discussing the legality of the action. Unilag was established by an Act of parliament in 1962 and as such that act probably neeeds to be amended before such a name change can take effect. Probably the National Assembly will be assailed with protests and lord knows whether they may even pass it. My point is that the decision of itself is grand, it's excellent and most apt and deserving. Anyone with a sense of History should know this. I suspect a lot of UNILAG alumni are upset cos MAULAG doesnt quite sound with the same swagger that UNILAG does. I graduated from UNILAG 12 years ago and yes, I prefer the name UNILAG, but I am more keen to see MKO properly honoured and this is an excellent step in that direction. 1 Like |

Deep Sight: If we have Obafemi Awolowo University, Tafawa Balewa University, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Ahmadu Bello University. . . and these are all pre-eminent institutions, then it is CLEAR that the principle of naming an eminent Federal Institution after an eminent national hero is not in question. says who? the fact that they renamed some universities doesnt mean there's a hard and fast rule that they should rename ALL universities. if that's the plan then they should just change the names of[b] all [/b]the universities at one go, and get it over with. and while doing that, they should free up the former names for other private institutions who have an interest, to take over for their own universities. these colleges are named for the towns they're located in, which is significant. |

tpia@: Nobody ever said there is any hard and fast rule so quit the chit chat. My point is that it has precedent and as such we cannot say that renaming a university after a national icon is wrong. Simple, dear. |

The name Unilag has bcome a brand associated with one of d best quality education even within our nations poor education standards,d name has bcome a landmark. If GEJ wanted to honour late MKO,1st of declare june 12 as the true Democratic day instead of May 29 and then he can name one of d newly commissioned universities after MKO. WHY WUD SOMEONE WANT TO CHANGE THE CAR NAME FERRARI TO SOMETHING ELSE? Dis is not a matter of whether Goverment has d right or not,ITS ABOUT D NAME UNILAG AND WHAT IT REPRESENTS... |

Nonsense. When the name University of Ife was changed to Obafemi Awolowo University in 1987- were you born? Who did the change? a civilian? |

Some pple are asking what's there in a name, the name UNILAG is an identity (some will say brand) built over years - the change though not affecting academics, eliminates all goodwill, perception and recognition attributable with it's mention. now it has to start again. a name is not just a name - it embodies goodwill. that's why companies acquiring other companies pay for the GOODWILL the name carries separately. (try release a product and call it Apple or Ipad if u are brave all countries have flagship institutions, they build and maintain its name for a purpose Why does GEJ have to erase a legacy just to build another when he can actually have both. UNILAG is a Legacy MKO Abiola is another, you don't have to kill one for the other. PS: part of this write up above is from a friend. 1 Like |

My questions: 1.Why has ACN up till now not taken an official position on the issue? 2.Could this be an agreement reached between ThiefNIBU and Jonathan? 3.Why wasn't a federal structure at Abuja used to immortalize the(International Thief Thief)ITT icon? 4.Why wasn't the school council consulted as the case of other universities used for such purposes? |
Re: Sagay, Others Differ Over Renaming Of UNILAG In Honour Of Abiola by xyloxloto(m): 8:23pm On May 29, 2012 |
i know why they are protesting the name does not sound POSH TO them, if the university was called a name like DENZEL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY OR SILVERBIRD UNIVERSITY guys trust me they wont protest its because they dont like the name MOSHOOD ABIOLA UNIVERSITY but wats in a name sef abeg all of them should go and sit down and read their books |

xyloxloto: what is in a name? MAULAG STUDENTS It maybe be because the person they renamed the school to does not have anything to do with education nor being an intelligentsia. |

GboyegaD: I c u can only read and write without thinking to get d premise of an argument b4 including an ediotic input. Check what made me send d guy back to Google den come back and apologise for calling ya fada names. Was Harvard university named after someone? Who was that?....private or not! Den d fact that d school is private makes d guy i quoted even more stoopid for putting it on d same argumentative pedestal as unilag, which belongs to d FGN. |
