For 8 years an egba president did not even deem it fit to give a verbal recognition to Abiola. GEJ as slow poke or whatever he may be did something courageous and honorable to give him recognition. na wa o. Hate GEJ but its wrong to now pour the venom on someone els underserving of the hatred for PDP. |

Reptyle: Suddenly, Abiola is now a criminal who doesn't deserve an honour What kind of people are these Yoruba people who cut their own nose to spite their face Jonathan may have had ulterior motives for the honor done Abiola...but it is an honor nonetheless. Abiola may have been a reluctant martyr...but he was a martyr nonetheless. I hope that he gets some more national recognition...like a day dedicated to him. But Jonathan's gesture, ill-timed and all, is a good start and should be commended rather than greeted with reprehension. He is not suddenly a criminal. It is what the man did in much of the 70's, 80's and part of the 90's that is living after him. |

Desola: seriously though, can this decision be reversed? I'm even sadder than the day he won the election. This man has become a thorn in our flesh. I despise him beyond words. You shuut ur trap, were you not the person that said ABIOLA is more respected than OJUKWU, are you not the one who said yorubas are united( OMO Odua), He could have named the sch after ENAHORO, who is more prefered but he decided to please the yorubas and yet he is wacko. Yoruba can never stop betraying themselves and other tribes |

sammirano: @Poster, are you minding UNILAG kids who don't known anything as at the life of MKO but were unfortunate to hear bad stories regarding the philanthropist. You mean this Philanthropist? The story of Abiola’s life is a classic rags to riches story that could be a Hollywood film. He was born into poverty in a large family. His birth came after a series of failed pregnancies, still born children and infant deaths in his family. He eventually attended the famous Baptist Boys High School in his home town of Abeokuta, in Ogun State. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is another alumnus of that school. Afterward he studied accountancy at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. He then worked with the multi-national pharmaceutical company Pfizer.[size=13pt] [b]However Abiola made his name and riches when he joined the telecommunications company International Telegraph and Telephone (ITT). Abiola eventually became the chairman of ITT and via series of cordial relations with key army officers, Abiola amassed so much wealth, influence and fame that he once boasted of being the richest African on Earth. http://maxsiollun./2008/06/02/what-if-abiola-had-become-president/ |

Let's not forget where this philanthropist, and one time richest man in Nigeria(according to reports back in the days) got some of that money from. From the very pockets of Nigeria . . .. Dangote is another man who I believe is doing about the same thing, only in a grander way. He is also a Philanthropist. Shall we also declare him a hero? Or is the hero label only reserved for those of their kind who are denied an electoral win? |

chiover: Interesting to knw dat MkO Abiola is a piece of shit to yoruba pipl. I'v said it b4 d average yoruba man lacks respect. Plz GEJ Name futo Ojukwu university we wil embrace it o Seconded, I was even thinking of it today if futo or imsu be renamed to Ojukwu University we would embrace it with full joy. I have always said 99% are saboteurs. Tufiakwa. When abiola was killed they blabed and went and sat down out of cowardice. |

usbcable: I AM SOOO LOST FOR WORDS.Excellent write up but m still wit d unilag students on this one. U can't just wake up and arbitarily change the name of a 50tear old institution like that. That's against everything abiola stood for. No consultations with the university authorities, alumni, council, nothing! Just a very poor and disappointing broadcast on a tuesday morning.Jonathan is just an absolute disappointment. Imagine what the authorities of unilag are going through now. They woke up on tuesday to find that their name was changed and then had to deal with the fall out of the stupidity of some sick president in abuja. Only in Nigeria anyways. |

@Kobo Let it rest, there is no mega business man in Nigeria that has clean hands, Abiola did some shady deals but he has atoned for it with the collapse of his businesses and his death. The action taken by the FG is inappropriate if the people most affected were not consulted, they could have named the Abuja stadium after him or even one of the new universities and there would not have been any problem, thank God they did not choose UI. Those who are castigating SW peeps are ignorant, we can see through what GEJ is trying to do and he has not even been smart about it, we understand the role MKO played in scuttling the ambitions of Awo but he has been forgiven and anyway he died in the heat of battle, that is enough to appease most people. |
Re: Abiola's Family, Oyegun Express Shock, Dissapointment At UNILAG Protests by tpia5: 5:47pm On May 30, 2012 |
imo, the guy had the entire nigeria in his hands, and was practically handed the whole country on a platter. that's the reason, i heard, why simbiat didnt support him running for president. She suspected there would be foul play and also knock on wood. his rise to fame and riches were too meteoric, and it doesnt seem he knew he had enemies, or maybe he felt they were inconsequential. just my analysis of those days. |
Re: Abiola's Family, Oyegun Express Shock, Dissapointment At UNILAG Protests by usbcable(m): 5:48pm On May 30, 2012 |
duni04: I agree with you on consulting. But my concern is with all that is being said about Abiola. He was Human like every other Nigerian but because someone(GEJ) bungled the process of actualising his desire does not make what somebody(abiola) else achieved in the past a unworthy of recognition. HATE GEJ HATE PDP FINE BUT DONT HATE JUST FOR HATING SAKE. |

Castos: This MKO of a man, how heroic was he. Anyway, students are just misbehaving and showing a stupid act of youthful exurberance over such a small matter. I advice the Maulag student to read their books and forget this naming of a thing.God will bless u my broda |

hercules07: @Kobo Who cares whether we have men with clean hands? A thief is a thief, and I stand against our open praising, and rewarding thieves, whether dead or alive. If your wealth is of the blood of the innocent Nigerians, you remain a thief and not until you pay back ALL that money you stole and ask for forgiveness from the people you wronged, you deserve no reward for being a thief. Sorry, Abiola never atoned for his crimes against Nigeria. His death, he met while fighting for himself, not for you,or me, or Nigeria. He died at the hands on those he chose over the Nigerian people for decades. They stabbed him in the back, after so many years of his profiting from them, and using them to get to the highest levels, even to the point of running successfully for the presidency. So I don't know where you get that he atoned for his crimes against Nigeria. What people were most affected? What are you talking about? The school is a federal school so those affected would be the Nigerian people. Let's tell ourselves the truth of these men. Abiola was a friend to the likes of Babangida, Abacha, etc. many of them the most notorious in the history of our Nation. He never hid the relationship he had with them. He only got the bad end, something Nigerians had been getting for longer, when his relationship with them went sour, and he died trying to restore it. |

If GEJ dares change that name back to Unilag then I go know say he is a real weakling.

It's so foolish with d kind of impression a lot of people often voice out about MKO.it's also a justification that we overate people in dis this part of the world.MKO was never a hero,his is never been and will never be.may be a lot of us may have forgotten what a true hero is made of.This was a man who accumulated his wealth through fraud,just because he contested an election just like every other Nigerian.The NEC never declared him as the winner even though he may have won majority of the states.But in as much as the fact that the body whose is saddle with the responsibility to declare him d winner never did,then his fates is the same as Olu falae,Buhari and co.if MKO is hero just because he contested an election just like every other candidate,just because of how much he lost and his hope to go there and steal more was shattered by the same IBB whom use that opportunity to pay him back for the liberia's money which he stole from him.MKO as a man ought to have gone to court just like Buhari and co but he went ahead to declare himself the President..so my question is what made MKO a hero? |
