That is why Nigeria Federal Government in her wisdom choose English as the official lingua Franca in Nigeria because of the Cosmopolitan Nature of Nigeria and the versatility of her people .
Such Yoruba Language Bill should be restricted to local gathering and events not interfering in the Educational system of Nigeria to the extend of violating The Constitution and causing disability to other Nigerians
lingual franca is English the fg gazette for Nigerian schools says choose between Hausa,Igbo and Yoruba not Erik,idoma,tiv,ijaw,jukun etc
Lagos state and the south eastern states such as anambra,imo that choose the languages for there schools have not erred

We are one Nigerian's . The law also affects over 250 Ethnic groups in Nigeria potentially over 140 million Nigerians . I won't be drag into the argument of Biafra we are Nigeria Citizens as I speak

You must have said "we are one Nigeria" like 10 times in this thread alone. People like you are what Igbos call unity beggers.

In enacting such law the Lagos state Assembly Go beyond its bounds and limits and made laws that are directly in conflict not only with the Nigeria laws but also Fundamental Human Right to Education,

We have Sharia in Kano and the Sky has not fallen.
This is a less egregious law than that.

There is absolutely nothing like Cosmopolitan state. All states are identical in our laws. Laos State does not have a special status of any description
It is important to educate the young ones that Lagos state was NEVER the capital of Nigeria.
Lagos City was.
There is a huge difference between the two just as there is in other states named after cities in their domain.

Oyo which is not the capital of OYO state
Kano
Bauchi
Enugu
Sokoto
Kaduna
Kebbi
Ondo
ENUGU CITY was the capital of the Eastern region just like Kaduna city and Ibadanin Northern and Western Nigeria respectively

There is nothing Cosmopolitan about Lagos State.
Badagry, Ikeja, Epe and Ikorodu are 4 of the 5 divisions historically that make up Lagos state. They were not part of the Federal Capital territory. If you want to know the former FCT Look for the former Federal Secretariat, Supreme Court, State House and so on to get an idea of where Nigeria was governed from when Lagos City was the capital
They are very indigenous and very Odua in their outlook


Objection overruled. The law stands.

As for me Igbo language comes first. I think in Igbo language, I pray in igbo language. I write my diaries in igbo language. I also keep my business records in Igbo language. In my dreams, I speak igbo language. Why Because igbo language is the most important language to me.

I have never seen a pathetic, worthless, greedy, and shameless people like iboes. This same people said they want to leave Nigeria while same time poking their ugly nose into what Yoruba peoples' affairs. What kind of a develish tribe is this? Imo and Anambra states implemented this law and no Yoruba man complained. What then is your problem? Your governor even made your primitive language compulsory in the university and no Yoruba man gave a fucck.
I swear, I have never met any irritating people like iboes. No other tribe is pissing on the pant because of this law. If you flatt heads don't like it, then go back to your desolated lands. Nothing in this world stinks and irritate like an iboe person
whenever u come across an Igbo person again, look at yourself and look at the Igbo person from the color of his skin to his physical appearance and image, then ask yourself if there's any difference between the two of you. stop the hate , we are all one. that Igbo man you despise so much might have shared the same forefathers with you until we became culturally divided

What's your fundamental human rights got to do with Lagos state's constitutional rights and capacity to make and enforce state laws in Lagos state?


Other people's human rights didn't bother or concern you when your ipob villages were passing the same language laws, but in Lagos state, it's a huge problem that you have to commit suicide over.

Shouldn't common sense tell you that the fact that your ipob villages passing and enforcing the same laws unchallenged constitutionally means states have constitutional rights to make and enforce their own laws?

I wonder why you people didn't cry, shout or yell human rights when Lagos passed similar laws mandating the Lagos state house of assembly to deliberate in Yoruba language.


Worry and spend more time on your villages instead of Lagos state.

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?

Aparthied has been born in Lagos
uh
70% of residents of Lagos are non Yorubas?

Two wrongs don't make right . The Federal Government should quashed those kind of discriminatory laws whether in Anambra , Imo or Lagos state or Kano .
Every Nigeria have the right and freedom to acquire education in any part of Nigeria without discrimination based on tribe


Do you know the meaning of federating unit? under the nigeria constitution the Supreme court can't deny the State Assembly from making laws for her federating unit. The law said for you to gain admission into STATE OWNED tertiary institution, yoruba must be one of the prerequisite and no supreme court can change that.

look at kano and other northern states with shariah law you cant go there and take alcohol and there is nothing anybody can do about that.

It doesn't infringe on anyone's right. Compulsory teaching of yoruba in all schools in the state, that is you have to learn the basics 2. You cant discriminate against someone speaking yoruba 3. To get into STATE owned tertiary institution you must have at least a pass in yoruba
Language. If i may ask why dont you want to understand the language of your Host.. To study in germany you have to learn german.. lets preserve our culture... To me its a great development.

Lagos is a federal state,unlike imo that is regional.There won't be much qualms enacting such law in ondo,ogun and other yoruba regional state.

I love the move,but it shouldn't be made compulsory to non yorubas,unless other two major languages are included,to give options to students of non yoruba origin.
