This is your time, all American, Russian and British citizen graduates of Yoruba Language to be employed in Lagos by the state's teaching service commission.

Open your eyes and see the true picture, this has got nothing to do with one Nigeria or otherwise. We have so many native speakers who don't understand their Orthographies. The implication is that they might be able to speak but not write. It is affecting my Urhobo till date. I learnt Yoruba in school, took my time in researching and studying its orthographies, as well as rules. All thanks to that, I'm multi-lingual today.

Almost all Nigerian languages are dying. Every state Government must understand that it is their sole responsibility to uphold and protect the tradition and culture of where they govern. It cannot be the English language all the time.

This statement of yours shows how much you know. Someone who studied Yoruba can work in the Customer Service , at the Counter sections where you communicate with people. For the fact that you studied Yoruba doesn't mean, you can't speak English.

Come to the North and see. Fashola is a lawyer by profession but he's now Minister of Works, Power and Housing abi? You better wake up and stop limiting yourself. Just be computer literate, you're there already.

This is a very nice move.

Our language, our culture and traditions must never die.

Our children and their children after them must continue to speak the language. They must continue to practise our customs.

It is our identity as a people. Other Yoruba states should emulate this. Yoruba language should be made compulsory in all public schools in the Southwest.

Re: Lagos State To Employ More Yoruba Teachers by Nathan2016: 7:47am On Feb 28, 2017
You ought to be ashamed of yourself...South west has six geo political zone...Lagos is just one state....and in lagos , more than half of it is owned by foreigners, so are you going to send them packing in their land,because believe me is theirs.....you children should understand that yoruba is just a tribe like any tribe...There is no document in your house that says I AM YOURUBA OR I AM IGBO......ALL DOCUMENT IN YOUR HOUSE carries Citizenship and State of Origin.......so stop vomiting hate, go and hustle
obembet:
Yoruba is moving forward... We are planning ahead

Moving Lagos to the next level cos all those non Yoruba will soon pack their load and go back to thier various villages


This is vision, though it tarry but at the end , it shall speak.

AM PROUD TO BE A TYPICAL YORUBA MAN

Why not employ different language teachers or better still foreign language teachers to further broaden the knowledge of our future generations.

I get your point. One of my teachers way back then in secondary was an Igbo woman married to a Yoruba man. Mrs Anifowose's understanding of the Yoruba language is impeccable. She was my motivation for taking the Yoruba language at the time.

Fast forward to the present day, it is not just about 'teaching' or understanding Yoruba as a non-native speaker. If you don't have at least an NCE or B.Ed, you won't be considered surely. The educational sector has taken quite a beating in the past and this is why you see a failed lawyer taking up a teaching job to becoming a government teacher.

Then again, you must understand that the instruction, according to the National curriculum says that every Nigerian student must be able to fluently speak and write at least a Nigerian language. The Hausas have been doing this perfectly and effortlessly, the same applies to some parts of the SW such as Osun and Oyo state.

Truth is, we don't expect another Nigerian language to be given due attention like the Yoruba language because Lagos, though often called a no man's land, belongs to the Yorubas. The same applies to Enugu. You don't expect another Nigerian language to flourish more than the Igbo language, else a possible case of extinction might occur.

Bottom line: So long you towed the teaching line as a Yoruba graduate, where you are from doesn't really matter. Most Yoruba folks around today can't even speak and write the Yoruba language as I do, let alone understand its orthography called 'akotan'.

Though we were all born and raised in Lagos, my family have been in Lagos since 1959 but my parents insisted no Yoruba or pidgin at home! We easily picked the Owerri and Mbaise dialects from our neighbours because we were grounded in the basics.

That is why I can not understand Igbo parents raising children outside the South East are finding it difficult transmitting the Igbo identity to their kids.

I want to believe that you are speaking for yourself, from a genuine heart but I am not talking about you. I am talking about Ambode who despite his good electoral promises is selective in his employment. He only favours the Yorubas.

The government of those day preach peace and unity. You get to any government settings, you feel you are a Nigerian and every students related so well with the teachers. They don't feel out of place. In the school, you will find Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba both amongst the pupils and the teachers but now what do we have
