The quick to respond "I don't understand Yoruba " crew just got served. Even forms and job interviews in Lagos will be conducted in Yoruba and Egun. Incentives will be given to organisations that adapt to this current reality.

Also, the Yoruba parents and woke will know the meaning of "Yoruba dun" wink

This is LASG helping them and their parents by teaching them the education most of them missed at home. Odun joor! like Radio Lagos 107.5 FM will scream in its jingle.

If you want to be part of the modern Lagos, learn Yoruba. If you are not ready to learn the language, stay back in your village, it's not by force . After all, you can still make it in your village.

The secret behind our success in Lagos is in our Yoruba culture and language, it encodes the spirit of Omoluabi, if you want to succeed in Lagos, go and learn Yoruba.
There is no Badagry indigene who will not understand Yoruba because they're an eya of Yoruba.

Those who hate the Yoruba and forming "I have been in Yorubaland for donkey years" , but can't speak Yoruba are plainly ignorant people. You can not spend years in a place and don't understand the language of your
host anywhere in the world unless you hate your host. I was thoroughly embarrassed when I watched a Mr Obi who has been in Lagos for decades use Prof Pat Utomi as his interpreter for Yoruba Language ,I knew immediately that he isn't serious about getting people to know him. It was the ignorance of Mr Obi displayed in public view. There is no way I can spend that long in Igboland and not speak Igbo.

This policy will help us know those who have mixed ignorance with hatred for the Yoruba their host.

Learn Yoruba and if you can't, no problem, just know that No Yoruba, no Lagos life for you
niyen. If you spend donkey years in Lagos and have mastered Yoruba, it will help you when you return to the village in your retirement because you will see Yoruba corps, Police etc posted to your village and they will appreciate your village more because of you they found there to speak Yoruba with. The other villagers will be envious of you and wish they have your clout.

We don't hate you, we just want those who love us and respect our culture to flourish in our land while those who hate us can stay back in their villages. The sky is big enough!
God bless Lagos state and Nigeria for ever!

We must make sure Yoruba become the second official language in the South as a whole.

Ever since I watched the Netflix documentary “Bigger than Africa”, I just suddenly got this extreme proudness in me for being a Yoruba man.

Afro beat language is already Yoruba, why can’t the whole Southern Nigeria adopt Yoruba as the second official language?
My Yoruba language is sweet mehn... GOD BLESS THE PERSON WHO TYPE THIS

Thank God for "Alawiye" by J.F Odunjo.

I kukuma get distinction for Yoruba language and read Yoruba novels wella pass lots of my Yoruba friends.

I support our indigenous Languages.

Igbo should start same in the South East and Delta state with pidgin Language.
Delta pidgin?
Who told you delta is pidgin?
Urhobo, Itshekiri, Ijaw languages.
Since we are doing Native language plus English then it must be the 3 Native languages and PROPER English.

Pidgin English is street language not for government

this doesn't concern a typical Igbo man, we can learn and write any language that will help our life in our environment.

my uncle writes Arabic and speaks 5 Nigerian languages, I can speak 7 fluently and write 4 (including Igbo will make it 5)

So when are those Ckay, Kcee, and Ojapiano going to sell O2 or go on massive world tour and selling out big arena like the other A-list Artists like Davido, Wizkid, Burna, Asake, and etc?

Even portable will pull more crowd for his show if he go head to head with Kcee. Kcee time don pass.

Yoruba is the Afro best language, it is the language people abroad use to qualify Nigerians. Wouldn’t it be good to just adopt it as the official language in the South?

We need to personally table this matter to Igwe Obi of Onitsha o and summon the 5 SE governors to a round table to look into this offer.

If everyone speaks Yoruba in the SE, there wouldn’t be need for sit at home because everybody will be busy throwing owambe and enjoying life. Who wan get time for terrorism wey IPOB dey do?

I dey tell u, walia u na baaad guy. Better to die in the hands of owambe than to die In Igbos hand. Sense no go kill u

aariwa:
One of such Yoruba language bills had been signed trwice or more in the past but nothing came out of it because it’s pure politics meant at fooling their followers. Lagos belongs to every Nigerian and not to any body . Go and read history, Nigerias”s oil boom from Gowon to IBB was spent on Lagos for every Nigerian not for any tribe or individuals so Lagos is one of the benefits of one Nigeria..people from all over Nigeria will continue to troop into Lagos daily and nobody will stop them…go and multiply as said in the Bible . If you sell your land any where and become a tenant to him you are now at his mercy to accommodate you and you don’t have to blame anybody for your mistakes.

That’s correct. All state must follow suit.

But in the South, we need an official language just as the North where Hausa is spoken across the entire 19 Northern states.

I have a proposal of adopting Yoruba as the official language of the South. What do you think?

Never going to happen. Not as long as Yoruba see anywhere beyond Ore as Ibo

NTA Lagos and LTV usually reads the news in Yoruba, Egun and English so this didn't start today and there is nothing bad in that

The government of Lagos state has begun the issuance of vital information to its populace in Egun, Yoruba and English.
Critics say this new development may not be unconnected with the 2023 elections that sprung up surprises in the state.
It is yet to be seen if this will become the modus operandi of the state going forward.

On the Official LAGOS-State Handle for English??
No naa.
There should be alternative handles for the Languages..
Official too..
But for the Languages.

For Instance,, Lagos-State (Yoruba)..

Lol yoruba clown grin. South as a whole as in colonial mentality? For someone whose tribe lost ilorin to a minority Fulani demography that's pretty cheeky of you. Ckay became a global sensation with "love Nwantiti"- an Igbo-themed song, Kcee is currently making big waves across the world with his "Ojapiano" genre, Oja is an Igbo wind instrument...so relax with your Afrobeats yoruba hype that is all about commercial packaging than actual quality.[/quote
Even the supposedly lost Ilorin till date has no other language than Yoruba language.

Dream on.. Igbo will forever remain most spoken language in southern Nigeria after English till eternity..
After South East Igbos, Delta ( anioma) and Rivers, then other SS states that share boundaries with Igbos still speak Igbo except the interior part of those states
