It is not by force to learn an indigenous language, especially for non indigenes. As far as I am concerned, there are only two official languages in Nigeria: English and French.

webincomeplus:

Every state in Nigeria has varying proportions of Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and other tribes. But that doesn't rule out the fact that the state belongs to only one particular tribe.

In the case of Lagos, it's a Yoruba state. Take it or leave it. And the state government is free to enact any law in the interest of its native language.

To whoever is embittered by the laws, it's not a must to study in Lagos state. If all other states do the same, there's nothing wrong in that. In fact, most states have always been doing things that favor their own indigenes and tribes for decades. It's only the approaches that vary.

What other state have put this kind of law that intends to isolate others from their schools?

Lagos was developed with our commonweath as a capital before moving it to Abuja, Yoruba didn't develop lagos alone we should stop being sentimental on issues like this how on earth can such law be implemented in a country like that. South Africa have 9 ethnic groups and two ethnic recognise language like Nigeria that have 3 and irrespective of what ethnic group you belong to you have to choose between the two, Switzerland have 3 tribes but no tribe make their language compulsory as long as Nigeria is one country and have three recognise language is very bad law because it doesn't show oneness as a country such law will divid Nigeria if adopt in other parts of Nigeria.

What is my own?
I have already warned sternly at my Children school PTA meeting that any Teacher/Tutor/Governor or Governess that attempts to teach any of my Kids that language Yoruba or make it compulsory for them, will be severely dealt with, without mercy.

Nonsense
