Xtfield: I have always admired the Igbo people. Unlike my Yoruba people, Igbos are very good at passing on their language and traditions to their children wherever they live. Hardly can you see an Igbo child who will not understand and speak the language at age 6. Not like the Yorubas who view speaking Yoruba as a sign of backwardness. We sure have a lot to learn from the Igbos on this and other issues.

Everything you've said is just the other way round. In fact, some few years back Igbo musicians had to incorporate yoruba into their music to sell. People like Ruggedman, African China and Dj Zeez couldn't even identify with their Igbo heritage boldly.

To the topic, these people should have started with giving the school a very fine Igbo name. I have a feeling they think the school won't be attractive to even Igbo people when it has an Igbo name.

igbo musicians still sing a lot in yoruba language neglecting theirs e.g don jazzy, dr sid, d prince, chidinma etc.

Yoruba is very easy to understand such dat if parents dont speak it to their children, the streets will in terms of music and movies. Igbos hardly have igbo movies.

Yoruba language has even mixed with english and pidgin english in nigeria. Words like jo (joor), jare, oya, lepa, o(i give am o!), soji, gbajue, nogere, komole, suwegbe etc are constantly used by all tribes.

Rubbish

At a university

I could understand at secondary school but Uni?

What a looney decision

True! But I'm more concerned about either the hypocrisy or clueless-ness of these people. They complain they want to promote the Igbo language through this university but the very name of this university is European. Can you imagine this in Yorubaland. If it's in Yorubaland, the school will have a proper Yoruba name and the school will gain popularity in no time. All in all, i think making learning of Igbo compulsory at pre-degree and 100 levels isn't a bad idea.

And who told u they don't study Igbo Lang in 100 levels in eastern unis?
I learnt that in my time, so what does that make u sound like?
Which univ in Yoruba is named after a Yoruba word?
Trash

Nice one prof, but let us start by renaming the university in Gregory's Igbo name

Are u in the east?
All the cds i bought these last 3 months are of Igbo movies.
Do u think there is any Yoruba movie CD in the east?
Same way easterners are not aware of yoruba movies unless when they flip thru dstv.
Moral: talk only what u can defend.

Studying a Nigerian language is not COMPULSORY for all students in any university at any level right now. Stop lying.

You honestly know the Igbo movie industry(if there's anything like that) isn't comparable to the Hausa and Yoruba movie industries in size at all.

what and what make up generally studies

SPEED5:
why do you fail to see the bigger picture. We are talking about language preservation and your more concerned about pleasing outsiders. This speaks of your self worth

self worth has nothing to do with this. A university that the communication medium is solely Igbo looks somehow to me. There are other better ways of preserving ones language aside this

igbo language is a must pass course before you graduate from the anambra state university at the moment....onye igbo suo igbo

let's be honest how many non igbos do u find schooling in d eastern state unis it would have been a problem if it was done in a federal uni so abeg make we hear word
