I'm appalled that people think the fight not to rename UNILAG to Mushroom Abiola University (MAU) is all about swag. i dont need to guess that its non UNILAG students that are speaking this way. Unilag being one of the best in West Africa and 200 in the whole world attests that the school has distinguished its self in exceptional global academic excellence. To flush all these down the toilet just becos GEJ needs a political nod from the South west is disheartening. My reasons for saying this are not far - fetched:
Firstly, UNILAG is not a street or a baby or an individual that you name and rename as you wish and once you print out the change of name in guardian or tribune newspaper the story ends. It is an institution established by acts, constitution, ordinances and has constitutional rights hence due process must be followed. what due process was followed in this case? the president bypassed the school council, senate, the legislative arm of the NASS, did not receive the votes of 2/3rd majority of NASS before changing a constitutional body. This so unacceptable for a president that claims to celebrate democracy. Democracy is about the rule this was absent by the 'suprise announcement'.
Secondly, UNILAG has a population of at least 40,000 students excluding staff members, college of medicine and its staffs. The cost to print new identity cards for these amount of people, the resources to be spent and time to be wasted is not worth it if its for the same 'democracy' that is being practiced by this PDP govt-govt for the few,of the few and by the few. it would cost billions of naira to build and implement the change in the university and its college of medicine and i don't recall in Mr president speech any allocation being made for the name change.
Thirdly, the certificate that carries the prestigious University of Lagos stands us out in interviews, scholarship applications and even granting exemptions in writing professional exams within and outside Nigeria. we wont be there when these bodies are trying to process the name Mushroom Abiola University. The offer would have been given to another candidate from a school they understand is founded on principles and not politics. our certificate credibility is what we fight for. this is the main reason Unilag students are on the streets. this is the reason we study hard so we can work and be successful with our certificates. Britain is one of the world power and has so many heroes why hasn't it changed the Harvard, Standford, Liverpool Universities to these heroes' names. UNILAG is Nigeria's Harvard, a global brand, Africa's pride!!!!!
we cannot say this name change will not come with its cost. we know this govt. if its has to fund the name change this would lead to increase in tuition to probably N450,000. this is why we are saying NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
If Mr President believes so much in this democracy let him use the money for National Museum to build a befitting University for the late democrat Abiola or revive Abiola Scholarship fund or better yet his extinguished businesses. we see national heroes on our naira notes. i think we av seen enough them. its time to move forward, make and celebrate new heroes like Gov. Fashola of Lagos State, Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo state, Gov Godwill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, to mention but a few. These once have delivered and are still delivering dividends of democracy.
we are saying NO to manipulation, we are saying NO to unwarranted sufferings, we are saying NO to ruining our certificates, we are saying to the abuse of power and flagrant disobedience for the rule of law. We are saying no to UNILAG becoming history!!!!!!!!
ALUTA CONTINUA VICTIRIA SANITAS!!!!!!!! GREATEST AKOKITE!!! UNILAG SHALL NOT DIE!!!
I swear down, i honestly felt like hugging you after reading your comment. You've said exactly what i had in mind and even more. I hope people would learn to understand that the government is there to serve the people and not the other way round.

Name Change Really is that what people are protesting for . That is a very stupid move you dont have basic amenities in Nigeria, no good research facilities, classes are overcrowded but you are not complaining. Then you come out to protest about name change. Change is a constant thing one of the best university in the world "HAVARD" was initially called New College" or "the college at New Towne it was renamed Havard and many more has been renamed. is it not people that make name. Due process what part of the constitutions or what act says that to change a federal government school's name you have to consult the school i bet you wouldn't find any. This why i get angry at Nigerians taking decisions without facts. People work with facts in other countries to protest but we work on assumption. nobody is protesting against high unemployment rate, high inflation rate, uncontrollable corruption and others una say na school name change una dey protest for .. i wish una good luck DO NOT BE DECEIVED THE MAJOR THING AN EMPLOYER IS LOOKING FOR IS IF AN INDIVIDUAL CAN DO THE WORK NOT IF HE HAS A UNILAG DEGREE MY BROTHER HAD A UNILAG DEGREE BUT COULDN'T FIND A JOB FOR MORE THAN 8 YEARS THAT WAS BACK IN 1999. AGAIN GOODLUCK PROTESTING OVER NAME CHANGE WHILE CORRUPTION THRIVES OUT THERE Posted: at 31-05-2012 05:20 PM (12 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |

laskywizzy at 31-05-2012 08:35 PM (12 years ago) (m) Changing of school name is a normal thing that has been happening in some part of Nigeria. Many university names was changed and there was no protest against it, so how come UNILAG own is now a different thing? The brilliant students wont come out to protest on such thing. I know people that will protest for this kind thing is the un-serious ones. President has the final say, weather the unserious students like it or not. Imo State University (IMSU) was changed to Evan Enwerem University, so UNILAG must also be change. Final. Posted: at 31-05-2012 08:35 PM (12 years ago) | Upcoming | |
