Toogun was trying to explain to us the economic benefit this will bring to the state but I didn't get because the was just speaking yoruba as if he was eating hot yam. Please can someone tell me in simple terms what the state stand to gain from this, abi we will just spend the money and forget it.

The calistechnics will be so lovely.

I read a comment in which you considered the action of a woman as justified based on the nature of Lagos being the formal capital. Given that this is the popular sing-song of the ibos on this forum, I thought I may have misjudged you as being a citizen of Lagos.

Noblesse Oblige tinz. I can't help it.

Arrangement tooo nice...great

Ufeolorun: A proper assessment would tell us the standard Yoruba we speak is actually Lagos-Yoruba not Oyo. The economic influence of Lagos has continued to shape the way we speak the language and may threaten all the various dialects.

The standard yoruba has always been Oyo. Lagos dialect we hear everyday is a corrupt form of Oyo dialect. The actual Lagos dialect is totally different

In Lagos today we say Bawo ni which is Oyo but actual Isale eko ancient dialect is Bawa n

True.
The 'new' Lagos dialect he is referring to is the one formed from the old oyo dialect, but it is like the formed lagos dialect is taking over. visiting sw/yoruba state capitals and other major sw cities/towns, you will understand that the newly formed 'lagos' dialect(from the old oyo dialect) is more spoken for its stylish and appealing tone.

Nope! Put apart the standard yoruba most of us speak :the Lagos one,you would see it's a mish mash of most of the dialects.
I would say(though not totally sure) Oyo would for example say kilowe(what did you say/mean) but by standard, most of us would say kilosso which to me is the corruption of ffor(speaking),a word normal associated with Ekiti/-jesha/Ondo/ijebu etc.Even words like Awe(friend/mate in Ekiti) is gradually creeping into the mainstream.
