Here we go again, how can someone from another tribe become a member of lagos state assembly without being able to speak their language..? I have many Togolese and Ghanaian friends that speaks fluent yoruba, talkless of my many Igbo friends. If you opened this thread because an elected candidate might not be able to speak yoruba, you can just ask the mods to close this thread. 1 Like |

If you are not Yoruba and you have these concerns, why not move back to your state? and if Lagos has more non yorubas in the state, why not rally behind a non yoruba and lets test your theory at the polls? there are 36 states in Nigeria The south west if proud of there language . If you are not proud of urs, u should RELOCATE to your state or move to another region that speaks the language u are comfortable with. no matter how large the numbers of non indigenes are in the SW, (born there or not).YOU are just VISITING. When the shi!t gets real, everyone will point to his fathers house 16 Likes |

Gregdcutie: I just got angered now seeing a news on channels tv that whilst the south western governors left pressing issues unresolved to discuss making yoruba the language to be used in teaching in the basic levels of education(like its not already a nuisance as most students in primary and secondary levels of education cant effecively communicate except with yoruba) the lagos state house of assembly has passed a law that henceforth members will on somedays dress in YORUBA TRADITIONAL ATTIRE and conduct house proceedings in YORUBA. And I wondered if they taught of the implications My thoughts: rather than venting and ranting like a raccoon with roid rage, you're better off enrolling at an elementary school - to learn how to communicate effectively in English language. I had to get Rosetta Stone to demystify the junk that you wrote up there. Some of you will end up committing suicide with this unnecessary sense of entitlement in places/people who have absolutely nothing in common with you. If the Yoruba's decide to revive their rich culture/heritage - how does that affect you? This initiative should be encouraged all over Nigeria!! 11 Likes |

Gregdcutie: you just dont get it and I fear you wont ever get it till its too late It's never going to be too late, for those who plan ahead. If you can't see the handwriting on the wall that Nigeria is heading towards a place of no-return, then I can't help you, mate. Heaven helps those who help themselves - hence why Yoruba's have started helping "themselves" by laying the foundation for all eventualities. Anyway, that aside, how many Nigerians can communicate effectively in English language? I dare say less than 1%. And the funniest thing is that, most can't even communicate in their mother-tongue as well. So evidently, no matter how you look at it, cultural imperialism has been a lose-lose situation for African people. However, this initiative would help revive the dying African language/culture - and we as African people need to support it. Truth be told, you can never speak the English language like an Anglo-saxon - but the only ace you have is your language and and it's high time you started perfecting it before you end up like the slaves taken to the new world! 3 Likes |

Gregdcutie: so instead of us all making concerted efforts to salvage NIGERIA we all should be saving our tribe. #Fact no tribe will survive this much anticipated revolution so in the end nothing would have been worth saving.That is a major fallacy. Definitely the major tribes (especially the Yoruba) will survive it if it happens. The only ones I fear for are the smaller tribes and people caught outside their home regions. However, while Nigeria is still in place ( for the forseeable future it is), It makes sense for the state to pander to its indigenes. The constitutional definition notwithstanding, indigeneship is still viewed on tribal basis and as such it will still be the case. If you feel aggrieved, you have two options ( besides trying to whip up outrage on Nairaland), sue the state House and get them to reverse their decision OR elect yourself a new leader to kill this off.

What's there to salvage and who salvages a house built on a shaky foundation, or with structural defects? It's either you demolish the darn thing or vacate it. There's too much innate hatred among the people in that country and trying to salvage it would only continue to stunt the growth, to be honest. How about renegotiate your co-existence based on the three principles of inter-human relationship: territorial integrity, mutual respect and cultural/social freedom? 1 Like |
