Let's take a minute to think here, why all this hue and cry?

Since the law has been passed what can ranting on nairaland achieve, it's like crying over split milk.

Wouldn't it be fun for young Igbo babes to learn and imbibe the language and culture of the state they live in.

OK next time Yorubas won't touch on the language issue anymore, we would write our state legislators to pick up land laws cheesy

E ma binu.

Go and preserve you shitty culture by telling the abookis to learn Yoruba in your market places...

You know they don't talk like the Igbos...They just do it.

When they react with emissaries from Kano and Sokoto..you little cowards will be forced to repel the law...

The day Yorubas start hating like igbos, the day we stop being as accommodating. Then you will see who is more cowardly.

u are still chest beating about ur phantom discriminatoy yoruba only legislation.

I am more interested in proscription of Yoruba from marrying Igbos.

In Nigeria we all have our interest and dislike.

Soon we will pressure Ohanaeze and South East Gov to declare anybody that marry Yoruba family Osu.

As for SS oil companies they must surely now relocate to Warri, Port Harcourt and Uyo.

Federal Gov must build deep seaport in Delta, Rivers and Akwa Ibom.

Yoruba have done their own, we must surely do our own.
Just the same thing op was talking about. What is this obsession with Yoruba for God's sake.
Why would you wanna outcast anyone who decides to marry Yoruba, Is it your life?

YORUBA THINK BY FORCING US ALL TO LEARN THEIR LANGUAGE, WE WILL STOP BEING IJAW, IGBO, URHOBO, ITSEKIRI, IBIBIO EFIK, IGALA, IDOMA.

ONE QUESTION, WE ARE ALL SPEAKING ENGLISH, DOES IT MAKE US ENGLISH.

YORUBA WILL LEARN IN A HARD WAY WEN FOREIGNERS START USING THEIR LANGUAGE AGAINST THEM.

I'm still in bemused as to why this is generating so much fuss.

When such law was promulgated in the east no Yoruba person batted an eyelid, now that we have done the same in Lagos a Yoruba state it has been worn the dark toga of tribalism.

I don't know why Igbos in particular feel threatened by this law, wouldn't it be fun for young Igbo babes to learn and imbibe the language and culture of the state they live in. grin
You need to understand the way most Igbos reason. Since Lagos is now Cosmopolitan,they expect us to drop everything that has to do with its history, roots ,Culture,Tradition and Language just to make them happy.

Awolowo knows what he was saying when he said there is nothing like Nigerians in the real sense of it like we have English people,Scottish people because they are a people of one tongue and language. Everybody else seems to understand these and take caution when outside their region. But it seems only Igbos do not understand this narrative, they feel they should have equal right with you on your own land but you cannot have equal right on their own land.

it was even their kins man in the person of Ironsi that change the system of how we lived according to our regions. So they should take their complain to him in the grave.

whether they like it or not we will not erase our culture and language in Lagos because it is Cosmoplitan. Until Igbos realize that we are not one people but only agreed to live together in one big space called Nigeria with every ethnic nation to their boundaries the better for them.

Ndiigbo should proscribe yoruba marrying from us, to help yoruba preserve their culture.

I am very serious about this and will lobby for such proscription from Ohanaeze and south east govs.

Very silly move by the state government.

I read a thread here were some lagosians were complaining about the current air pollution in the state, especially how dirty are being littered everywhere, due to the new policy of the state governor , instead of them to address this issue and other issues bothering the state the only thing they could think of is this law, what a pity.

Like we all know Lagos belongs to Yoruba, what's the essence of the law?, what are they trying to proof?.

For those using IMO and anambra law to justify this, how many non Indigene are in those state compared to lagos, infact Lagos is home to all hence laws such as this should not see the light of the day.

So because Lagos is dirty, no other thing must be done until all the dirt are removed? There are times I wonder if some people shouldn't have their brains evacuated for unproductivity.

Some people are too daft and dumb to realise that failure to promote indigenous language can lead to extinction of the language. Maybe it's by force to comment.

So, Yoruba people should not promote and preserve their language because Lagos State is home to people from other parts of the country?

Bro Look at the issue of Babaloja /Iyalojo issue, this practice has been there pre-colonial times and the British came and met it, they did not abolish it but Igbos will open shops in these markets and want to stop an age-long tradition which was what caused the Eze-Ndigbo to be flogged in Akure. They are a people who do not respect other peoples culture and tradition. They believe because they migrate to a place in huge numbers, you must abolish that your age-long tradition for them and you dare not try it with them on their own lands. They only language they understand is Violence that is why they comport when in the North.

My Igbo friends, you guys are playing fast and lose with history.
First of all, please stop confusing Edo-state and Edo.
Edo-state is a land while Edo is a people.
So you can't "carve" anything into Edo.
The Edo are the citizens of the precolonial kingdom of Benin which had current Edo-state and Delta-state (Bendel) as subterritory.
Therefor Ika-Igbo are Edo, no land was carved into Edo state, know history well before talking.
Most people stupidly think that Benin Kingdom and Benin City are the same thing, but no, Benin City is only the capital of the kingdom.
Languages don't own land, kingdoms own lands.
The fact that my brother speaks Igbo doesn't make him anyless my brother.

Have a nice day.

yoruba once again trying to impose their language on others.
This is what the yoruba tried to do to my people when Bendel was part of the western region.
The scam is that, these african fake "historians" identify language with tribe.
Therefor yoruba try to force other people to speak their language and hence turn everybody into yoruba.
Which would increase their numbers.
This is how they started this whole scam called yoruba anyway.
Just take the language of ife and impose it on an entire region and then conclude that that entire region is made of one tribe only because they speak that same language which you forced upon them.
