U WANT TO MAKE THIS PERSONAL WITH ME BUT I AM NOT THE AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE AND NEITHER AM I THE PLAYERS RESPONDING TO APPARTHIED IN LAGOS.

THE AUTHOR AND RESPONDANT ARE ONE NIGERIAN YORUBAS, IF AMBODE HAS NO DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND WANT TO WASTE THE REMAINDER OGF HIS TIME IN COURT, THEY ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO OBLIGE HIM.

HE WILL REGRET THE DAY HE VENTURED INTO TRIBAL SUPREMACIST POLITICS AND ETHNIC CLEANSING.

Shut up abeg.Your people are the one doing One Nigeria in that country. You run away from your land and litter everywhere like a refugee. Since you hate Yoruba so much, why not ignore their land and stay in your erosion ravaged land. Una no get shame at all. Mschew

FarahAideed:
That law is quite shallow and fascist in nature so should be suspended....It will only set a precedence for more unhealthy tribalism and nepotism across the country..Nigerians need to bond more not to be distanced further ...Besides if Lagos doesn't require proficiency in Yoruba to collect taxes from me why should they when I want to access tertiary education in the state ..makes no sense

LaudableXX:

Why do you want to kill yourself over laws made in another man's land, biko? You sure say you well, so? If you do not like the law, go elsewhere. It is not by force to stay in Lagos, o!

This is a good first step in the right direction and has been long overdue. This bill will not solve the probelm immediately but brings awareness, practicality and attention to this because it is very important. Hopefully, somebody can implement this wisely. Kudos to those who suppport this idea because we are loosing our rich culture not only in Igboland and Nigeria but in Africa as a whole. We should be proud of who we are and our rich Heritage and should never allow others to define us or strip us of that which has been given and passed to us by our fathers.

don't think non-Igbos should be exempted. In my secondary school, a language course was compulsory but the student had the choice to choose whatever he/she wanted to do. Sometimes it depends on the availability of a particular language teacher. Some schools do not have the benefit of different language teachers, so the student just has to go with who is available.

romeo:
This is a good idea!! Non-igbos living and studying in igboland should learn igbo language from nursery to secondary school level.

@Chiogo
You can speak igbo language because you learned at home but you can't write or read igbo language
Don't you think that is enough reason to make the language compulsory in igboland.

I could remember the days of Grace Ubesie and her brother Tony!! Their Igbo novels were simply fantastic and i read their books, so did my friends. Igbo novels anyone? No way because i want my kids to be queen queen oyoyo

Igbo Language must be compulsory in Igbo states. If you don't like it stay away from Igboland.


I am living in Spain and i must learn and pass Catalan to gain addmission into the Balearic University of Mallorca
Note: Not castellan language which is the national Language in spain and of which i am very fluent with. If i want to learn in castellan language i must have to move out from my base of over 10 years and start from scratch again or stick to mallorca and learn their Catalan language which is used 50/50 with the Spanish national lingo in academic activities. From secondary school down is strictly Catalan. Mallorcan signs and posts are in catalan

Reason, they are saving their language and culture.

Strength10:
It is very surprising(literally) how anything and everything IGBO generates so much attention and discussion; and sends chivers and thrills into the bone and blood of other Nigerians. This is a sign of profound importance conferred to NDIGBO and the IGBO culture. Boy, I love being an IGBOMAN
Guys, Leave the great state of Anambra people alone. Let them teach their kids their mother tongue and whatever they see fit, and lets please move-on from this topic/conversation.

So why are igbos crying now that it's Lagos? *I am not understanding*

Nice one

What nonsense

is Lagos not part of Nigeria again


If they allow this rubbish bill; very soon other states will follow suit


If Yorubas are feeling insecured about Lagos; let them push for referendum so we can all agree they own Lagos. If not for now Lagos belong to every fucking Nigerian and even Fulani and aboki niger - rians


This bill is an insult to all other tribes FFS



This is why Nigeria will hardpy progess

Few are patriotic whereas almost everybody is tribalistlc and care only about their tribe.


I have come to realize almost every Yoruba sees Lagos as their one and only birthright ; forgetting that Lagos is collective work of every tribe especially Niger Delta money


Lagos was once the capital of naija
What if gbagi or Hausa do same in Abuja


See as Yoruba Boyz just they quote me anyhow


Kiss the bloody truth u pained bitch ass demons

When something like this was done in Anambra in 2009, these were some of the comments.

So why are igbos crying now that it's Lagos? *I am not understanding*

LaudableXX:

I did not make any personal attacks. I merely offered you a piece of advice. Try not to kill yourself over Lagos matter, biko. You can always attend a federal tertiary institution or go to any other of the 35 other states, without such laws to attend their schools.

LaudableXX:

And you conveniently ignored the fact that Igbo is a compulsory part of mandatory courses like General Studies, in state-owned tertiary institutions in Anambra and Imo.You also ignored the fact that Igbo is compulsory in all state-owned primary and secondary schools in Anambra and students will not be promoted to the next class if they fail Igbo, no matter how high their scores are, in English, Maths, Physics, Biology and other core subjects.

If Lagos state has decided to make a credit pass in Yoruba language part of its admission criteria into tertiary institutions, why don't you opt for a federal institution where the law does not apply? Why are you chaps wailing over this issue when alternatives exist nationwide?

LaudableXX:


How did I miss it? Biko, post the link to that thread here, sharp-sharp. Let me go and laugh over the hypocrisy of those respondents!

letusbepieces:
U R STILL MAKING PERSONAL ATTACKS.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME.

IT IS ABOUT THE INSURMOUNTABLE CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

AMBODE WILL SPEND THE REMAINDER OF HIS TENURE BEING DRAGGED FROM COURT TO COURT.

LaudableXX:

Where is the personal attack, biko nu? So it is now a crime to offer advice? Alright. As for Ambode being dragged to court, abeg let me laugh very well in Chinese! Na today? Do you know how many court cases have been filed against Lagos state govt in various courts? Has it stopped Ambode's work?

discusant:



Wow. Lagos is a multi ethnic city; does not belong to Yoruba alone. How can a state governor defy Nigeria's constitution to implement this sort of Law?

franugo:
firstly, i do not wail...it is beneath me secondly, i don't really care about what you guys do, I have finished my tertiary education and have served my country to the best of my ability. what i am trying to right here is the misconception that igbo is a mandatory subject for admission into higher institutions in the east. I served in Anambra and I can tell you, without mincing words, that igbo is not a mandatory subject for promotion, at least in the school where i served. I am not sure who you are trying to convince here, me or yourself, cause using general studies as an example is laughable, we are talking about courses like medicine, engineering, law etc. This law, at least to the best of my knowledge at the moment, will restrict people who are not well versed in Yoruba language from studying such courses, which is discrimination at best and criminality at worst

History has never recorded the Yoruba tribe standing up for what they believe, instead they will rather become slaves... All thanks to the Hausas that gave you guys the luxury of having you as slaves.

Which other name is left in your dump skull?

Keep calling names but make sure you keep doing your work (cos I know you work for an igbo entrepreneur)else you are fired and you return to the ghetto you came from.

Oloshi

LaudableXX:

Okay, you do not wail. You merely lament. And you are talking from a half-baked perspective. Nobody said engineering, medicine or such courses will be taught in Yoruba. You merely need a credit pass in the language at secondary school level, in order to gain admission into a tertiary institution. As for Igbo being made a compulsory part of General Studies courses in Anambra, I am not trying to convince anyone, you can read it all here:

royalamour:
I think it is fair to give total freedom of choice to students of higher institutions who are not indigenes of the state to either learn the indigenous languages or not.
