But Yoruba's didn't give a shyt when your SE governors did similarly. So why the bile??

Show me where it was mandatory in tertiary institutions as entrance requirement, why would Igbo be compulsory in a university, does it even make sense? What are you going to use it for if all lectures are in English?

I guess you didn't read your sources before posting them.

Did anybody complain when Lagos make Yoruba language compulsory in their schools, what is shameful and tribalistic in it is saying that before you enter tertiary institutions own by lagos state that one must have credit in Yoruba language, that is highest point of bringing tribalism into education, what will happen to a parents that just relocated to Lagos due to federal government posting and the children cant access the higher institution in the state because they must have credit in yoruba languge,isn't that a tribalistic unintelligent stupid retrogressive law.

You people will carry one Nigeria for head like gala but in dark corner be planting division and tribalism everywhere.

Federalism and disintegration is not the same. Stop developing high blood pressure, over something you do NOT understand. undecided In disintegration, you break up into separate countries, while in federalism, you still remain part of the same country, but with freedom to make laws that affect your people directly within your region, and also the freedom to take charge of resources found within your area, and use it directly to develop your people and its communities.

As for the law passed by Lagos, it can only be abrogated by a court judgement, or repealed, suspended or modified by another law passed by the same Lagos state house of assembly. Educate yourself and stop misyarning. And use panadol for the headache that this matter has given you.

I thought federal law is supreme, last time I checked power is at the centre but again I may be wrong.

Stop lying and misleading people, did the university make it compulsory that you must have credit in Igbo before they will accept student to enter their university. Higher institutions in lagos can make Yoruba compulsory course in their schools but not that you must have credit in yoruba before you enter the school.

I knew it will not pass them as for Igbo's it is clear you are not wanted in Lagos.it is a pity that this happens in a so called shithole in a country so other tribes can not apply for the state university.Yoruba's are nepotic as hell,I could recount when my friend had a business to do with them that involved with them because he was non yoruba, they cunningly swindle him.they are never happy for others.my friend was so heartbroken that people he came with a clean slate they bleeped him up because he is omo igbo,though not all of them but once they know your Igbo you know your just in for frustration.Don't know what brought about this hatred like I told my brother he should not invest in anything in Lagos and he blatantly did so I hope his reading this.Have told all this foolish Igbo's come back and stay in your land where u will be appreciated but in a quest to make it which I don't blame them venture into a land,am in my state and am leaving fine so no idiot will condition me.Is best to split d country let everyone be and stop using cunning ways to pursue people.is really a pity but some Igbo's deserve it,when they are practicing one Nigeria by investing in others people land without using their sense.its just the beginning. A word is enough for the wise.

I will repeat it million times.Yoruba's are not Ibo's problems,Ibo's are not yoruba's problems.The problems of Nigerians are non Nigerians,there is power behind all the acts you see happening in Nigeria.When money is looted,the banks in the diaspora knows those funds were stolen but they need it to develop their countries,hence they keep quiet.So our problems is from outside,Panama papers reveals alot of secrets.

The issue of batrayal as you put it is not exclusive to just one ethnic,it happens among all the tribes.I think protectionalism is why people don't want others to succeed in same venture with them, Ibo's have sectors of business they protect and would not want other tribes to decipher.It is not about labelling one ethny as saint and castigating the other.The way the country is been governed it is a matter of time before things fall apart.

I would not support this type of divisive law that shouldn't be set by the state or lga if it were igbo, so i will not support it now. The govt should make it easy to sue Lagos state or any other state on this type of foolishness.

When he was visiting Nigeria years back, he spoke Chinese throughout his stay even to our English language loving president who only relied on interpreters to understand what he said. Let's preserve our culture now for the unborn generation. Must we be useless in everything and in all ramifications? I tire o!

All tribes and races are nepotic to an extent ,what do you expect when your brothers keep saying "Lagos is a no man's land" officials of the state government too use social media so they hear and see these things so they had to quickly react to the situation. Lagos remains home to all but we must preserve our heritage here before the world forgets Lagos state is indigenous to the Yoruba people and other people start laying claim to what is not theirs.

Igbos are the only ones who would want to change an age-long tradition of a people just to suit themselves, like the issue of Baba loja and Iyaoloja that has existed in Yoruba Land for centuries. We will not abandon our culture,tradition and Language because we have non Yorubas living amongst us.

We are first of all Yorubas before been Nigerians, the earlier we revert back to Regionalism or split the country the better for all us.

That is why England is separate from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland but all in a bigger country called the United Kingdom all administering their own laws.
yea but u remember your oba told them that he will throw them to the lagoon if they don't vote for the preferred candidate,so action and reaction are equal but look at d system Nigeria operates though I have canvassed that all Igbo's should go back home but everything is in lagos, bank headquarters,companies headquarters and every thing and put in one place so there is a tendency for the Igbo's that have been chastised,no presence of federal parastatals the region have been left abandoned so d igbos migrate.so I will support you on that regionalization on the basis of equal fairness.

Re: Yoruba Mandatory For Admission In Lagos Tertiary Institutions by matrixme(m): 2:23pm On Feb 12, 2018
As a Yoruba guy as inasmuch as I want language proliferation as much as possible, I think this is just wrong and discriminatory by all factors.
Firstly, many of us live outside Yoruba land and we are not being forced to learn the local language to integrate. I'm more than a year in a northern state and "soonu" is the only local language I can speak, yet I'm doing just fine.
Secondly, the Yoruba language is already being made popular in songs. Almost everywhere we turn to, people who are not of our tribe are singing secular and religious songs in Yoruba language with gusto. I think this ought to be enough for us.
I wish Lagos State relaxes this discriminatory law as soon as possible.

You always keep saying Lagos is no man's land, now the owners of Lagos State decides to pass a Law and you are all jumping at Yorubas, if you don't like it, like I said earlier, go to another state that will favour you, or better still, go develop your state too.

Sir don't you think you guys are committing the same mistake?
You are forcing down your language on non Yorubas
Those who cannot learn will be indirectly sent packing
This is bullying and a sign of not being hospitable.
Do you know that in states like Taraba, Plateau, Edo, Delta and Kogi that there are several languages?
What they do is to either speak pidgin, English or a major/common language.

Unlike Oyo, Ogun and the others Lagos is a place of commerce and transition (travelling in and out of Nigeria),
So people may not be able to learn the language in the short time they spend there.

I do not come from the 3 major tribes but I've lived in all 3 regions.
I personally don't find it easy to learn languages even when I try hard.
My French friends struggle to speak English with me cause they know the
Chances of me learning French instead is slim.

I do not hate any Nigerian language but it's not right for anyone to dominate others.
This will be the same offence of the English man.

If every non-Yoruba left Lagos or the West generally, you will shocked at the abysmal result.
Please one Nigeria.

I recommend the entire NL listen to Evi Edna Ogoli's song "Lingua Franca"
Which one of them we go speak

PS: not all Yorubas hear each other. Oyo may not hear Oyo. Egba may not hear Ekiti
