Don't mind those parents.
I was with my one of my uncle one day. His daughter tried to speak Yoruba language do you know what my uncle said, he told the daughter don't speak vernacular. I just laughed.
I now told him, as a trained teacher/educationists I was told Mother tongue comes first before any other language.
If I do not understand my mother tongue, I won't be able to communicate with my grandma or be an interpreter for non-English language speakers in my environment.

It is people like u that are addicted to Chinese films and Telemundo's Subtitled/"Voice impositions". Even if you don't understand yoruba be understanding enough to know it can be subtitled. Am Proudly Yoruba yet I delight in learning Ibo and other languages. It doesn't reduce my being yoruba or my person rather I can understand others better.

Lagos belongs to all Nigerians, thus yoruba language should not be allowed in the state house of assembly.

moreover there is an Igboman among them, how do you expect him to cope ?

Yorubanews:
The Lagos state and Osun Houses of Assembly have advocated renewed commitment to Yoruba Language.

The assemblies in pursuant of this goal called on the government and other stakeholders to ensure compulsory teaching of Yoruba language in both private and public schools in all Yoruba speaking states.

Speakers of the two states, Honourable Mudashir Obasa and Najeem Salaam made the call when the former visited Osogbo to invite the latter to a Stakeholder Forum on compulsory teaching of Yoruba as an indigenous language in all schools in the state.

Representing the Lagos Speaker, the Chairman House Committee on Education, Lanre Ogunyemi said, it is important to enhance the teaching and learning of Yoruba language in schools in Yoruba speaking states.

According to him, the National Policy on Education was apt about the teaching of indigenous languages, saying, Yoruba language was not being valued as it happened in other climes like Europe, China, America among others.

“As a state and as a region, we must ensure that our language did not go into extinction, for this reason we must entrench it in all our schools.

“We have observed that in most of our schools, it is either they do not teach or have teachers to teach Yoruba language”

“The National Policy on Education said a student shall learn language of their environment, which is Yoruba in the South West region, Hausa in the North and Igbo in the East, meaning that it is compulsory that our children must learn their indigenous languages”, he said.

lol imagine that. that is what you can never take away from Asian kids, you hardly see a British born or American born Asian kid blowing Grammar when he/she is with the family, always speak their language and I cherish them for that.

OlujobaSamuel:

your facts are not right bro, he never sacked all yoruba teachers, je sacked teachers. I schooled in a government boarding school in osun during his tenure, we have 2Yoruba teachers(1pta and 1gov't). Her name is Mrs Arogundade.

segunpee:


Although I don't agree with Baba Akande sacking the yoruba teachers but I tell u 1 thg: Baba has is a visionary. He knew d Osun Wage bill was too much compared to their IGR, and he bravely did the unpopular Economical n right thg. Reduce some supposed subjects that are nt really the core. Though he overdid it, particularly with Yoruba. Baba has more Economic sense than all these Governors who keep employing thousands, granting high minimum wage, without growing their IGR or even building infrastructures in the schools n Teaching aids or Serious/Regular training. D man is a Proper Leader in the "order" of the incomparable Awolowo.

Yorubanews:
Our leaders are just waking up ba?
Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti please follow suite.
I doubt Ekiti will do much right now because the state currently has no leader.

Gaddafithe2nd:

I feel like spanking those kind of people. I do tell them even, the English language they are promoting their kids to speak is not even a standard English.
Have you noticed that, people that studied Yoruba as a course in school speaks fluent English.

YORUBA LANGUAGE AND BIAFRA.


IS NIGERIA DEAD ALREADY?



IF YOU WANT YORUBA LANGUAGE IN LAGOS, WILL ALL NIGERIANS MOVE BACK TO THEIR REGION OR YOU EXPECT AN IGBO CHILD THAT CANT SPEAK IGBO TO BE SPEAKING YORUBA?



THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK.


IF NOBODY WANT NIGERIA BECOS YOU WANT TRIBES, BETTER TO SETTLE AMICABLY AND PEACEFULLY SO U CAN FACE TRIBE.?

They should be creative in making life better for the people that elected them in office. Making Yoruba language should be made compulsory in schools is not the issue, when their parents can do the job @ home.

He said, u expect the igbo child to speak yoruba..

He already knows that if this had be done since the 1980s... Many igbos would be able to speak yoruba and the inter-marriage rate would be higher than it is now.

Making the igbo language almost extinct. Then everyone would start thinking all southerners are yoruba just the way people think all northerners are hausa.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MAKING IGBO LANGUAGE COMPULSORY IN SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTH EAST.

if you come to Lagos, is it not logical that as part of your social integration you learn and speak the indigenous language? when did speaking Yoruba in south west states equate the whole south speaking Yoruba.

NewNigeriaMind:


The igbo man representing oshodi is married to a Yoruba woman. He can marry a Yoruba woman, live in yoruba land, make laws in yoruba land but dont want to learn to speak Yoruba language. You see how stupid you sound.

banmee:


here's the problem with you people. The things you should be clamoring for you don't, but the things that don't make sense you'll be all for it. As long as i can remember, yoruba as a subject has always been on the curriculum in public schools, so why bring up the legality now? And, if i own a private school, you cannot tell me the subjects i should teach which is why it is private.
