when they resume we shall make sure they start wearing school uniform with beret

freecocoa: Those kids are really foolish to have shut down roads because of a name change.

It goes further to prove how senseless many nigerian youths are,I'm sure they are prolly happy school won't be on for a while,more time dedicated to their armed robbery and runs business.

liv talk jare! d name dey bring runs bisness na! osu don wreck so abeg man must not liv on cocaine alone.

It would have made more sense if the nitwits had put the energy they put the same energy they put into disruptin
Traffic on 3rd mainland bridge into improving their ranking from 6th in Nigeria, 52nd in africa & 3,486th in the world.

The protest was arranged and spearheaded by igbo students. I think the story wud have been different if it were named ojukwu university.

All of you that are lambasting the students should STFU already. Have you paused to ask whether GEJ followed due process before effecting the change. This move is irrational and undemocratic. He is not a Military head of State and so cannot wield his Presidential powers irrationally disregarding the provisions of the Law.
People should learn to keep abreast with realities before taking sides and this lay back attitude got to stop if this Nation must move forward.

^^^ So who did the FG consult before naming it UNILAG in the first place? Is that the book your parents sent you there to go and study? Oh, I forgot. They are yahoo boys and prostitute girls. They bribe lecturers to pass and graduate. Pathetic!
Nigeria youths have become so dumb, I weep for the upcoming generation. Where have you ever heard the owner of a University has to consult the students before they change the name. It is so ridiculous how this lot think. They have a warped sense of self importance and revel in vanity and emptiness. They are worse than the older generation that they castigate. They will rather have a nice sounding name than identify with the ideologies of democracy, justice and freedom! Sums it up for Nigeria!

Please do tender evidence to prove he didn't.

They say UNILAG is a Brand Harvard university... Was formerly named
new college but later renamed after John Harvard.... MAUL students shld
go and make their school an actual brand and not showcasing their
ignorance to the nation... Cant they see that convenant university is
becoming a brand by showcasing her discoveries and inventions?

Well said

Please do tender evidence to prove he didn't.

Abike Dabiri, a member of the House Of Representatives in an interview with Channels TV this morning said no Bill was presented to them for deliberation on this issue. GEJ and FEC usurped the powers of the National Assembly,it is ultra vires and unconstitutional. It is a dangerous precedent if it is allowed.

4evergod3: @Deedee49

LOOK SAVE YOURSELF THE EMBARRASSMENT. JUST BECAUSE YOU CAUGHT ME GIVING YOUR MUM SOME THUG LUVING DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE MAD AT ME. ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS ASK FOR IT AND I WOULD HAVE OBLIGED YOU. TOO BAD YOUR MUM ASKED FIRST! HAAAA!!!

Wow! You're like a kid who's candy was stolen! I feel sorry for u! U'll grow up soon! More time on Nairaland,and u'll grow up! I laf at ur ignorance,hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa!!!

4evergod3: ALL OF YOU WHO ARE RAINING INSULTS ON THE STUDENTS OF UNILAG..... YES TO ME ITS STILL UNILAG AT LEAST THEY CAN SPEAK WHEN POKED AND SPEAK OUT INDEED. WE ALL NEED TO LEARN HOW TO GIVE OURSELVES A VOICE AND SPEAK OUT WHEN WRONGED. WE JUST DON'T HAVE TO ALWAYS TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT AND KEEP SAYING ''DON'T WORRY EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT". SOMETIMES WE NEED TO MAKE THINGS ALRIGHT. JONATHAN OR WHATEVER HE IS CALLED NEVER FOLLOWED DUE PROCESS BEFORE THE NAME CHANGE AND AS USUAL THIS IS JUST ONE OF THEIR WAYS OF SAYING TO YOU AND I THE ORDINARY NIGERIANS THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A VOICE AND WHATEVER THEY SAY MUST STAND EVEN WHEN THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY WRONG. NIGERIANS WAKE UP. THE ISSUE NOW IS NOT JUST ABOUT GEJ AND UNILAG ITS ABOUT THE WAY OF GOVERNMENT IN GENERAL. WE ARE THE PEOPLE AND WE DESERVE A SAY IN HOW OUR AFFAIRS ARE HANDLED. PERIOD!

See how little u fink,see ow ridiculous some nigerianz reason,says that won't count,says dat won't go anywhere,dat won't change anythin,

In my opinion, the name changing is a bad move, majorly because it is coming at the wrong time.

Events happening in UNILAG:
-UNILAG's VC (Father) just passed away and is still being missed / mourned.
-There is no steady light or water in the school. Students are restless.
-50th anniversary is in the pipeline.

How can a reasonable person change the name of a school at this time?
And its not as if he is trying to address the problems the school is facing. Or bringing any development with it.

There is something about a name, a brand, you don't just change it overnight especially for a sensitive one like this.

Haters of UNILAG do have a rethink, will you be happy if they change your school's name like that? If you will, then good for you.

Cokerr:
See how little u fink,see ow ridiculous some nigerianz reason,says that won't count,says dat won't go anywhere,dat won't change anythin,

apparently,you are actually the ridiculous one here..DEMOCRACY NOT HYPOCRACY..free of speech...even tho' it won't count sometimes...lol

SoJaded:
ma'am i'm sure u're of the generation that wrecked nigeria and then turns arnd to say in our times.....
why would you make such a silly and judgemental statement.

The "freecocoa" lady is a waste of space here on nairaland, i have seen most of her posts here on nairaland and she has some friends here too that backs her up. Senseless! The day you leave planet earth things will get better for all of us.

As for Nigeria i have given up on Naija a long time ago, my girl is a 300 level student in Unilag, she's joining me here next week, away from that country!. Nigerian educational system is a waste and not even recognized outside naija. A 6 months degree holder from a foreign school have more job opportunities anyawys.

Mtchewwwww! May GOD have mercy on Nigeria!
