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.

2weeks sit at home commences on 31st July in your region, but na Yoruba be your broblem.

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!

Look I know lots of Igbos who genuinely want to learn Yoruba the problem is the education system the way Yoruba is taught in schools is usually done in such a way that no none Yoruba can actually understand. So they have to work on the education system maybe having a radio station that teaches and translates Yoruba would be welcome.

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.

We don't care what the Critics think

Lagos is Yorubaland

And even the Angels also Worship God Almighty and dance for him in Yoruba

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?

[quote author=aariwa post=124365224] 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.


If they sold land to non-indigenes, the state government can revoke the C of O, get back the land and pay you back your money.
Don't ever think buying a land in Lagos State makes you a permanent owner of the land.
Even in other countries, if you buy land as a non-indigene, you don't own it forever. It will revert back to the State after many years.
Don't teach or push original land owners or indigenous people to treat you badly because of your loud and proud attitude towards them.
No Igbo should think buying land in Lagos or elsewhere in the South West makes you a forever owner of the land.

Yaribanza clown!

Go to any top 10 African nations today that are familiar with Nigerian mainstream cultures especially popular phrases they learned from Nollywood movies, do a survey and ask them certain Igbo vs Yaribanza words- then record your feedbacks cause if you're honest with your survey, you will find out that majority of the popular Nigerian slangs and native words that they know will be predominantly Igbo words cause they watch more of Osuofia, Aki & Pawpaw, Mr Ibu etc movies.

The fact that you mentioned Portable in your rants prove my point, garbage artists with zero talents that simply ride on the wave of yoruba dominated Lagos media hype, same way another below average artist like Seyi Vibez always get hyped- yet na only yoruba street touts dey listen to his Afro-incantation incoherent rubbish.

Wizkid was actually announced to the world by the P square brothers when he was coming into the game, Davido's manager (Asa Asika) na Igbo boy, same with Olamide's manager,one of Davido's biggest hit song "IF" was written and directed by Tekno an Igbo boy...see the pattern? There was always an Igbo involved in the success of yoruba successful musicians today.

Egbon, I'll rather sit-at-home in my own land eating Nkwobi and chilling with my family on Monday after making all my money for the week rather than suffer the indelible stigma of one EMIR instructing me to cancel a cultural festival on my own land. At least Owo in Ondo state where over 50 people were massacred during Sunday service didn't happen in the SE last time I checked! cheesy

Re: Lagos Commences Issuance Of Official Statements In Yoruba, Egun & English by biafranrealson: 10:59am On Jul 12, 2023
It will lead many to learn yoruba and Yoruba will no longer have secret.
Fulani adopted hausa language but fail to teach hausas fulfude.
When issues boils down to nitty gritty,the Fulanis will conclude the talk in fulfude leaving the hausas morons.
Igbos learn yoruba but don't teach them igbo.

Not the same thing. Bauchi removed English completely.

Lagos isn't doing a new thing, they are just bringing back what we used to have before the arrival of internet. We used to enjoy these in the days of LTV, NTA Lagos and NTA channel 7

It is still done on all those channels. It is you people dt don’t watch it anymore and watch only dstv.
Just 2 months ago a video went viral of an NTA studio dt was collapsing on a yoruba woman’s head while she was reading the news in yoruba. That was on NTA Lagos.

Radio Lagos too. 'Radio lagosi tiwa n tiwa nititi' has also been their music jingle since inception in the 1970s.

You still don't get it well.

Let me educate you kid! First, I don't live in SW but your submission show you're still living in trenches.
In movie industry, Yorubas is still leading.
Stay calm and check top 100 movies of ATB like, Wedding party, Figurine, 30 days in Atlanta, October 1, The CEO, Omo getho, Alakada, Prophetess, Buka on the street, Ayinla, Phone Swap, King of boys, Gang of Lagos etc. Just think about any solid movies and the slangs that comes out of it. They all mostly produced by Yorubas. You literally have forgotten that Nollywood English is a bit divided, The Classic and the normal. YORUBAS ARE IN CONTROL OF THE CLASSIC while Other tribes like (The Asabahood) are in control of Normal. The movie like 'A king is running after his maid. The title alone don explain the entire movie 😂😂😂

Even in Tech, Give it to Yorubas; FCMB founder, GTB, even FBN CEO etc. are all Yorubas. Just like in internet space; Nairaland, Naijaloaded, Flutterwave, Paystack etc. so talking about their commercial is not just because they are controlling this space but because they are naturally blessed.
An average Yoruba Man don't cry on the internet like una. Give an average Igbo man 100M nah to dey disrespect everyone and Living above his means. But give the same money to a Yoruba or an Hausa Man, you won't know say he get shinshin. Proudness no dey their body. You can see how Olamide is lifting up others without shouting over it.
Maybe that's why we are yet to see any Igbo man in the Forbes list of world billionaire.

Very good. The colonial master brainwashed us to believe our indigenous languages are inferior to theirs.

If I have my way, I will change Nigeria language from English to our indigenous languages.
