Hello people, I am highly privileged to share this very
important piece of information with you. It involves just a minor but very
vital change. This ‘small change’ is pivotal to the next coming events. The
change will come as surprise to many of you who knew me before now but it is
compulsory it gets done.
The President of Nigeria, in his 2012 democracy day speech
made a ‘change’ that generated a lot of interests. A lot of statements, comments, press
releases; plenty titles, captions and headings of emotional outburst were all
over the place. Lecturers, Lawyers, Social Activists, Politicians, Alumni, students,
empathizers…everybody all had something to say.
The community – students and staff- that was directly affected cried
foul. They take pride in what they possess – the name UNILAG.
UNILAG is a name a meaning Nigerian youth will want to have
on his CV. It’s a signature, a brand. This change by the president sparked up a
spontaneous and most unprecedented, non-political motivated protest by this
peace-loving community. A change will
either make you a break you. It can either thwart or propel you. One can never
remain the same again after such a change. MAULAG will ruin the glory of
UNILAG.
God, our creator, knows the importance of change. In the
beginning, He changed the form of the earth. He separated light from darkness
before He could proceed to other events. He personally saw to the change of
Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, Jacob to Israel amongst others. Simon was
rechristened Peter – ‘the Rock’. Those are powerful pointers to reasons why
change is important. Abram had to become Abraham to become father of nations,
Simon to Peter that the church might be built upon him. I am yet to see a man
that had that ‘change’ to Judas. I have not met one.
When a change is necessary, it can be delayed. But when that
change is compulsory, no time must be wasted. The change must be effected
immediately without prejudice, fear or sentiment. I have seen ‘Abereola’
changed to ‘Sam-Abereola‘, ‘Ogunsanya’ to ‘Olusanya’, ‘Amoniyan’ to ‘Bolade’, ‘Agbogunleri’
to ‘Alli’. They were unavoidable changes, they were implemented.
About this time some 29 years ago, a particular woman was in
the process of childbirth. She was in labor. She wanted a child that will carry
on the family name, she wanted a boy. And behold, she brought forth a child- a
son, as she wanted. He was christened Olamide Jubril. His surname, he inherited
by commission.
But on this day the 9th of June 2012, I announce to you the
rebirth of that son. I formerly known as agbogunleri, Olamide Jubril make this
declaration that forthwith; I should be addressed as OLANREWAJU, OLAMIDE
JUBRIL.
Welcome to the New World Order!
