let us worry about that,oga face ur tribe

This is completely nonsense!!!! Majority of lagosians don't understand Yoruba language. But if they must recognize indigenous language, which am in support of it, they should also try to recognize Hausa and Igbo languages too because of their great population in Lagos.

If igbo leaves yoruba go collapse.....lagos to be precise

tanx for your observation n contribution, but I'm not suggesting we form a brand new language but simply to make writing some English words conform with our environment for easy understanding n advancement, we can continue using those wording e.g put,sell,bag etc that go in line with our local pronunciations. one good thing is that almost all African dialects follows the same pattern such that anyone who can read Yoruba can read Swahili or Zulu fairly well without learning or understanding them,this means a Yoruba reader can easily learn SEnglishall that would be require is translation n interpretation. This idea came up because I have been trying for long to help my kids master reading English apart from their school studies with very slow success but when I tested teaching them how to read my dialect,I notice they found it easier,I have observe this in many children, learning English as it is takes a very long time of practice n cramming, you would be amazed how some secondary students pronounced some English words but I don't blame them,for instance letter "C' in English can " k" as in carton,or "S" as in certain, cell or "CH" as in chance,change. this is also the case with letter G,you don't find these complications in our dialects where alphabetical sounds remain same even in words so that reading simply becomes a smooth combination of the alphabetical sounds to form a word.infact I have been searching for the technique of teaching kid how to read n write English perhaps you know of one because looking back I remember vividly the trouble we passed through to develop the ability to read n write English but it wasn't the case with Hausa.

Before the last civil war, your grandfathers said more than this. Igbos left in their thousands for the East few days before the declaration of war but nobody missed Igbos.

Nigerians allowed Igbos to return out of pity.

Lagos state had already moved on since your departure from our land.

WrathOfHadez:


All the French we were made to undergo in secondary schools in Nigeria...how many people remember the language today?

Language is sustainable by culture, power soft or real and influence never by compulsion.

Latin
English
Portuguese
Now Chinese languages were all once global languages learnt for their relevance in the business world, technology and culture.

The Yoruba by their Geopolitical positioning with Lagos as the gateway to Nigeria doesn't need legislative ordinance to maintain the language. 90% of Lagosians speak the language and it's the dominant language in south west even before the English language.

So putting it in a bill is just a waste of legislative time and exercise.

This is not about recognition of local languages but the preservation of Yoruba language which is the indigenous language of Lagos State. #blendwhereyoulive

Klinee:
Lagos is a multi-ethnic languages State not just Yoruba and as a Nigeria national, if Yoruba language is made compulsory the same should also be done to other ethno languages that makes up Lagos as a state.

Asidethetruth:

Every of their plan against igbo makes them stronger.....

Danladi7:


Are igbo people feeling threatened?



You can go and replicate the same law in Anambra to retaliate on yorubas.

Johnayoola:
grew up in the north n Hausa was made compulsory in jss level ,it was hell then but now I know d usefulness n advantage I get been able to speak Hausa n Yoruba,currently trying to learn igbo,this is a very good move if u ask me

zoedew:


In a Federal System as ours each State can decide to so legislate. #blendwhereyoulive

Asidethetruth:


Nigeria is hostile to average igbo man
But
Igbos are not like that.....we dont live a life of retaliation.......

Klinee:
But how can a State enact a law that is detrimental to those who are non Yoruba speaking lagosians?

Asidethetruth:



Am sorry not possible....u can learn hausa and yoruba easily but igbo....e go hard u

Johnayoola:
lol there's nothing impossible about it,tho I know its won't be an easy task.

Danladi7:

Victim mentality!
And you dont leave a life of retaliation that is why igbo children were taught to hate yorubas in response to twisted account of civil war.

Master and slave mentality at the same time!

As long as every condition is not favourable for an average Ibo man to make use of his greed and dominate others he will interpret it as maginalization,envy and hostility.

An average igbo man will not be comfortable and perceive the bill as hostility until the state assembly replace the yoruba in that bill to igbo.

Asidethetruth:


Slave mentality

The response is typical of a slave under hausa fulani watch...

Yorubas are saint but they are sly and brood of chameleon in nature....

Ask Trump how he do away with his special assistant...a yoruba man.....he cant bear the snitch....

Who is teaching hate if not hausa and yoruba....

Confirm from ahmadu bello and adeyinka grandson....

God willing and by his grace....we will continue to push until biafra is achieved.

Hope you will not repeat this rant if igbo is made compulsory in Anambra
And if I may ask,how is that detrimental?

HunterofPigs:


Who is this foool? Hoe many ibo aka Pigs and Idiots despite your high population in USA even made it to the White House ever.

The gentleman this idiota refers to was in a committee that was disbanded by Trump. A committee of CEOs. Trump heard that members of the committee are quitting so he had to disband it altogether. Meanwhile, the gentleman still remains the CEO of his company.

How more stupid can ibos be? Do you lack comprehension or are you just bitter about everything?
