Tell that to Japan, China and all those eastern Europe countries who will ask u to spend 6 months learning their languages before you can have a degree in their schools.

The PDP guy is a hopeless joker. He did not complain when toll gate charges were increased. Now he is wailing about the introduction of Yoruba language, as a criteria for admission into state-owned schools. Why didn't his party PDP make noise when Anambra and Imo passed similar laws, to make Igbo compulsory in primary and secondary schools within their region? Or when Igbo language was incorporated into General Studies courses in state-owned tertiary institutions in Anambra? Yeye man!

Onistha, the cursed piggery land.

AnodaIT:
Anambra is not a no man's land like Lagos
If Oyo state did it, no problem

LaudableXX:

Okay, you do not wail. You merely lament. And you are talking from a half-baked perspective. Nobody said engineering, medicine or such courses will be taught in Yoruba. You merely need a credit pass in the language at secondary school level, in order to gain admission into a tertiary institution, owned by Lagos state. As for Igbo being made a compulsory part of General Studies courses in Anambra, I am not trying to convince anyone, you can read it all here:

Absuchat:


Point of correction, Lagos used to be a Yoruba area, however, it's now an Igbo- Yoruba area.

Having said that, I will like to tell you authoritatively that the bill can only work out if and only if igbo language is also made a prerequisite for gaining admission into universities in Lagos alongside the overhyped Yoruba language.

Igbos have come to stay in Lagos QED.

Why do you want to kill yourself over laws made in another man's land, biko? You sure say you well, so? If you do not like the law, go elsewhere. It is not by force to stay in Lagos, o! How is making a law about an indigenous language, now being interpreted as ethnic cleansing or tribal supremacy?

When Anambra and Imo made Igbo compulsory in primary and secondary schools for all students, irrespective of their ethnic tribes, you did not cry and wail about ethnic cleansing or tribal supremacy. When they decreed that any student who fails Igbo would not be promoted in those schools, you did not cry and wail about ethnic cleansing, apartheid or tribal supremacy. Biko, swerve.

monex:

well what i read was a credit pass in yoruba as a criteria for admission into state owned tertiary institutions.

did Anambra or Imo do that?

Absuchat:


Igbos can never be marginalized by coward tribes of Yoruba, not even Hausas.

You asked why a revolution of this kind didn't occur when similar law was enacted in Imo and Anambra,?
The answer is simple, we control our territory. We cannot compete with any tribe in our very own land. As per Lagos and other parts of Yoruba land, the minorities (Yoruba) can't just wake up from sleep and say something that is not realizable and expect it not to be nipped in the bud as usual.

franugo:


bros, but promotion from js111 to ss1 is not the same as making it compulsory for admission into higher institution na,,,,,,,that there is a department of igbo language does not make it a compulsory course in tertiary institutions. what lagos is trying to do is make yoruba as important as maths and english for ALL students, even those who know nothing of the language

LaudableXX:

You are the one who ended up sounding clueless. Those from other tribes in the SE, did not complain when Igbo language was made compulsory in their primary and secondary schools. In state-owned tertiary institutions, Igbo is even part of the General Studies courses which they learn at 100-level. Go back and do your research before coming back to misyarn, biko!

Federal tertiary institutions within Lagos state are exempted from the Yoruba language criteria, so if you do not want to attend a Lagos state-owned tertiary institution, please apply to a federal one. End of story! Now can you kindly get off my mentions and totally refrain from quoting me again? I have zero tolerance for jerks!

I'm waiting for the Fulani to enact same law in kwara state since they are in control of illorin. This will be fun

jaymichael:
Hey cannibal! you have been noticed. Your people who leave their place which is "heaven" loaded like cargoes in the booth of Ifesinachi buses to come to the land of "people who die of malnutrition" They must love penury and malnutrition so much to make them embark on the journey. A human flesh eating osu that sleeps inside a 2 by 2 kiosk is talking about penury. I am a landlord in this Lagos. I have a spare room in my compound where I keep my domestic animals, I can out of mercy and service to humanity spare you that room. You will only need to bring that carton that you lay on the floor of your 2 by 2. Hopeless FLAT HEAD CANNIBAL.

Hotfreeze:
In fact, they should change the law and add that Igbos should be given Yoruba tribal marks before being allowed to join the civil service.

bakynes:
[s]I don't know if I need to remind Igbos that Places in Lagos are named in Yoruba. Places like Ikorodu,Epe,Isolo,Ajegunle,Alimosho,Amuwo-odofin,Ipaja,Agege,Surulere etc. Or do I need to remind them each of these places have an Oba or a Baale, they perform traditional festivals and are recognized by the Lagos State Ministry of Chifetaincy affairs.

When you enter Lagos through the Border with Ogun state, you see a statue of 3 white cap Chiefs called "the Idejo Chiefs" Lagos is right inside Yoruba Land Bordered from all angles by Ogun state. You have to pass through nothing less than 3 Other Yoruba states to get to Lagos.

Or do I need to remind the Igbos that the Lagos state Civil service, Judiciary,Government at State and Local level,Commissioners,Ministries,Agencies and Parastatals,House of Assembly is controlled by Yorubas. Whatelse do you need to be reminded to tell you Lagos is Yoruba land. [/s]

Throwback:


Are the higher institutions not the Yoruba state owned tertiary institutions?

Has a state not got the right to determine how it admits into its own institutions?

If admissions are low due to this requirement, then logical adjustments will obviously be made.

Absuchat:

Who made Lagos your land?
Bros wake up na.....
If the law is made in Osun or ogun I couldn't have reacted, cos Osun and ogun are core Yoruba lands,but you see Lagos, forget it bro... We own it collectively.
No fool should wake up from nowhere and make a stupid law, without considering the interest of other stakeholders in the state.

jaidey1:


Ignorant illiterate.

1.) Anambra and IMO passed similar laws but you didn't complain. Guess your states are insecure too. Olodo

2.) Lagos is Yoruba land. No one is forcing you to work and oaybtax here. If you don't like our laws go back to your village.

3.) The port in Lagos has been generating money long before independence!!! What the port generates annually is more than federal government allocation to Lagos state!!! Keep your Niger delta oil money and give us our ports!!!

Ignorant illiterate

toodark:
lagos is yoruba area....period...they can speak yoruba if they want in their area....doesnt matter what igbos say...

igbos like to make too much noise...other tribes are not complaining....nobody send igbos....

The one Nigeria Yoruba have spoken out against the oduduwa republic Yorubas.

Let us pause for a second and critically analyse the action of Ambode apc.

U claim you want to preserve Yoruba language but yet yoruba hinter state like Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo and Osun dont see need to pass such law.

Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria with about 70% of its population being nonyoruba is passing bill to impose Yoruba language on non yorubas.

Thus, where by the non yoruba fail to comply, they will be discriminated from going to University.

This begs the question of, does Ambode APC understand the meaning of constitutional human rights?

Lagos is all tribes state, being develop by all, you can eat your cake and have it, you guys believe in indivisible nation, why crying and ranting overs Igbo expansions and claims on no man's tag of Lagos you can claim Lagos when Nigeria cease to exist, then we can push our collective efforts to expand our own Lagos in the east with our wealth with modern polices, not the first that started the race wins Ibadan old city as case study
