Beaf: Abiola is only a POLITICAL HERO. He's not much of an academic hero like Awolowo who rolled out plans for western education and influenced it TO THE TOOTH. . . And we have already honored him with the MOSHOOD ABIOLA POLYTECHNIC abeokuta. So it dosnt make sense to rename unilag at a time like this. If they want to impress us, they can change that MAPOLY into a university, they can rename stadiums, government halls or even the lagos state house of assembly. And definitely not UNILAG. |

jmaine: Personally . .i don't subscribe to the motion that the ACN is conductingor sponsoring the protest . .the students protest was a spontaneous reaction to the "Weak arguement" that "Moshood" is not a tushed name hence de-repping their swag . . . Thank you. Most of them will NEVER understand! You know, anything to fit their purpose! |

joephemzyz: Naming abuja after mko wulda been better since we all agree d man was and is a national hero....besides washington DC is a good example... They would never do that. They are a sick bunch of HIPPOCRITES. Ask them to name the SENATE HOUSE after him and they will murmur NO! They dont care about the structure or the important names and SYMBOLS of education so they mess with and change names anyhow while pretending they they do US a favor. They are FOOLS! |

wesley80: ^^ abeg think am. There's no way people would be falling over themselves just to criticize an Ojukwu university. Are you sure?! Please, why can't we be honest and objective for once in Nigeria. When the change of name of University of Nigeria was suggested, we did not sleep in NL. In fact, many said it was a conspiracy by Nigeria to remove anything Ndigbo from her history, blah, blah, blah! Now, Lagosians are saying the same, they are now hypocrites?? It means they do not love MKO?! Has politics really blinded you guys that much?! ![]() As far as I am concerned, most of your(that includes papabrowne and co) arguments for, are WEAK; In fact, too weak to be considered an argument. UNILAG is a brand name that commands respect. WTF is MAUL?! How can the GEJ just wake up one morning, no input from the legislative arm, remove a brand name that was created a year after Nigeria became a republic? When UNILAG was producing graduates, GEJ was still a kid! What is wrong is wrong. Lets be honest! |

adolfe bad: Abiola was no Political Hero. He was just a man who was stabbed in the back by those who he believed were his friends. He was one of the few Nigerians who enjoyed fame and fortune during the IBB era, well, until almost the end of it. Yes, Abiola was friends with IBB and Abacha, until June 12th happened. So let's stop creating silly labels. Nigerians and their selective Amnesia . . .o ga ! |

[size=20pt]The only motive I can discern for their resistance to the name change boils down to the aesthetics. Yorubish at their finest moments. ALWAYS REJECTING POSITIVE CHANGE AND RECOGNITION[/size] 1 Like |

Re: So They Never Really Loved MKO by wesley80(m): 12:07pm On May 30, 2012 |
jason123: At least we all know the reason a name change for the Uni was rejected and it had nothing to do with personality or "aesthetics". A name change had initially been proposed to honour the late Zik but while alive' the late Statesman had requested that the name never be changed but that rather it be preserved for a number of reasons I assume u can reason out therefor it wouldve been innapropriate to rename a school that was left untouched in honour of a late National Hero in honour of some other Hero hence the rejection of the idea. Thank me later for educating you. Now tell me, what are the arguments against MAU? That UNILAG is a 50 year brand! What forking brand is that? Tell me, if the university of CapeTown or Pretoria were to be renamed in Honour of Nelson Mandela would there be protests and condemnations? Absolutely not and why is that? I'll tell you; the man is a Hero and revered by most. Now it begs the question; Is MKO a Yoruba Hero? If he is then yall shoud SHUT THE FORK UP and honour him as such but if you agree he's not, then I can understand your rage but don't come here with that impish argument abt him being a hero but UNILAG being a brand that's untouchable! That's just lame. 3 Likes |

Kobojunkie: You are a baboon! ![]() Is that what your primary school history teacher told you? Open your ears wide and listen. . . ABIOLA like OBAMA was widely accepted by the masses and the crowd. His CHARISMA held strong at the politics of that time and on everyone like an igneous rock. Even when he was denied the presidency the people reacted with an angry and resilient riot and JUNE 12 will never be forgetten by many who witnessed the prime of his career. ABIOLA is more than a POLITICAL HERO. I do not blame you if you were still a baby sucking wet breeaast at that time of Abiola's charisma |
Re: So They Never Really Loved MKO by Kobojunkie: 12:29pm On May 30, 2012 |
adolfe bad: Arrgh . a baboon calling another names. interesting . . . So, now that you are grown, and have access to the internet, there is no way to use your opposable thumb, and whatever brain cells you have there(oh primate!) to broaden your mind and the knowledge you gained in primary school? Because you were taught that Abiola was a hero, you will, like many of your moronic kind out there, stick to what you were told . . even with the flood of information now available at your finger tips? What Charisma? The man wasted/stole from Nigeria to make himself rich. What is the difference between him and people like IBB, or Obasanjo, well apart from the fact that he was the only one of those who never made president. You really need to go talk to your parents. Demand the truth from them. I don't blame you. I blame your parents, the baboons wey born you, for denying you the truth of your so called heros. Abiola's was never a political hero. Ask your parents for the truth. He was part of IBB's inner circle and believed he was the one to succeed IBB. Nigerians did vote him but IBB, Abiola's then bosom buddy turned on him, and that was when his world, and dreams to rule, collapsed. To now label him a political hero for what happened is to admit ignorance of what transpired during the IBB days. |

Re: So They Never Really Loved MKO by Nobody: 12:32pm On May 30, 2012 |
Either MAU or UNILAG what impact does it have on our educational system? What's the schools or any other in nigeria rating in the world. MKO deserves more than a mere school name and its a belittling of the status of a nationalist who gave his life for nigerians so we could enjoy our present democratic government. Abiola is an icon/hero that refused to sellout to the elite and the ruling class inspite of the risks thereby sacrificing his life. Why not have his picture on N5000 or N10,000. Notes, make june 12 a national democracy day? Or other worthy national honours? Unfortunately the so called progressives (mostly from the southwest) will rather play politics, fill their pockets and chase shadows than fight for what is just. Anyway am awaiting ACNs tantrums/response as usual but it may be difficult cos its about MKO. |

Re: So They Never Really Loved MKO by jason123: 12:40pm On May 30, 2012 |
wesley80: This is another weak argument! The reluctance to rename the University of Nigeria to Nnamdi, in modern times, had NOTHING to do with Nnamdi but had to do with the resistance by the Ndigbo. If he had to do with Nnamdi, why in the world did they suggest it in the first place. I mean, if Nnamdi died almost 20 yrs ago saying they shouldn't, why bring it up now?! Exactly, it had nothing to do with NNamdi's wish but the people's wish. Secondly, are far as you and I are concerned, the university of Pretoria or Capetown has not be renamed after Mandela so you have no point there. Absolutely no point. MKO is a hero. This has nothing to do with his heroic status or whether Yorubas love him or not. Instead, it has to do with the ethics and sensibility behind it. Why UNILAG out of all the UNIVERSITIES IN Nigeria? In fact, why an educational institution if not for mischief?! Why not follow due process? BTW, the people protesting, what in the world makes you think they are Yorubas? No be UNILAG again? ![]() Well, I'll finish this argument with this statement. What goes around comes around! Have a blessed day! |

Kobojunkie: How old were you at the time of Abiola's career? I was just one sand on the BEACH of the supporters of that MAN. Forget about inner circle and outer circles. We wanted HIM on that seat because we had followed him all through his career. He had the people behind him and he was a symbol of DEMOCRACY. . .because everyone was tired of Babangida's iron fist rule. And he is still being honored till. Next time you meet your history tell him a certain ADOLFE asked you to slap him for planting inside your childish head that Abiola isnt a POLITICAL HERO. |
Re: So They Never Really Loved MKO by Kobojunkie: 12:46pm On May 30, 2012 |

adolfe bad: I am older, wiser, and more informed on Nigeria than you can boast of. Again, GOOGLE offers you a free tool to get your mind EDUCATED on the FACTS. USE IT! Stop being used -- start thinking for yourself. That you were one of those who protested DOES NOT CHANGE the facts of what happened. Up until the annulment, Abiola believed his friend IBB would finally get him the chance at the Nigerian Presidency, something he, Abiola, has wanted for a long time. You can still google up Nigerian news reports from 1985 till 1993 to educate your mind on what really transpired during those years, and the Abiola-IBB handle on things. If you didn't know that at all, but all you have to tell us is that you were one of the likely ignorant protesters on that day, then you are simply telling us NOTHING we have not heard from so many out there who taught these old men meant well for them. Please spare us the same old bull. We just went through, and are still going through that very same with the Jonathan Goodluck crowd. . . Jonathan too has people behind him and I bet some of them will tell us that he is also a symbol of democracy as a result. Imagine that!!! Learn to pick your heroes more wisely . . . MKO left no worthy legacy for his own people, the people in the South West and Nigeria as a whole. The man was one of those who stole millions from Nigerians(if you are not aware of this, please use google to save your life), depriving Nigeria and Nigerians a chance at a better future. He was never prosecuted for it. He bedded the same old politicians you have today, only that he got stabbed in the back in the end. That is all. |

jason123: Take it from me, the resistance against renaming UNN had everything to do with Zik and the sense he made when he argued against it being renamed take it or leave it. Secondly, Neither the university of Pretoria or Capetown have been renamed but I tell u it would be an honour for either of those schools to be renamed after the icon of modern times, no? Unfortunately, u chose to call MKO a "hero" once again, so I tell u what I've told u and others that say same;
