My fellow comrades, let me tell you, the proposal to rename the University of Abuja to Yakubu Gowon University is a bit of a distraction, isn't it? I mean, think about it, we've got more pressing issues to attend to. But, if we're looking for ways to honor General Gowon's legacy, I've got a cracking idea - how about building a Yakubu Gowon Unity Green Park?
Just imagine it, a beautiful green space in the heart of Abuja, where Nigerians from all walks of life can come together, relax, and enjoy the scenery. It's the perfect way to promote unity and national cohesion, don't you think?
And let's be real, my friends, this is a far more meaningful way to honor General Gowon's legacy than simply slapping his name on a university. I mean, think about the impact a beautiful green park could have on the community - it's a place where people can come together, where children can play, and where we can all enjoy the beauty of nature.
Now, I know what you're thinking - "But, Nigel, what about the cost?" Well, my friends, let me tell you, the cost of building a green park is a drop in the ocean compared to the cost of renaming a university. And think about the long-term benefits - a beautiful green park can boost property values, attract tourism, and provide a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city.
So, come on, President Tinubu, let's get behind this idea and build a Yakubu Gowon Unity Green Park that we can all be proud of. It's a cracking idea, if I do say so myself.
