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?
You and who? The rest of the south view yorubas as traitors if you don't know. We'll never forget how they preferred a northerner to a fellow southerner in 2015.

I don't understand your anger. This is very normal in Europe. In Wales all govt notices are in Welsh and English. In Quebec in Canada its French and English. As long as all govt notices and publications are provided in English there is no problem if they are also provided in other languages.
Every state can do the same

It is normal in those countries because that's how they started but not after 63 years of independence in Nigeria you now wake up to implement it if not for tribalism. You guys must think everyone is as dum.b as you are.

The process of dividing Nigeria have already began under Tinubu, he already told everyone years back that he doesn't believe in Nigeria.

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!

I have been so consistent about this in my Facebook posts. We must reclaim our culture (language and religion) enough of all the brainwash.

We have been considerate enough to include English language as one of the 3 languages I think that's fair enough.

What I will suggest in furtherance of this is broadcast first in Yoruba, read the news in Yoruba before subsequently translation in English and not the way it is now that the news are firstly casted in English before Yoruba.

We must reclaim our heritages

The government of my state has decided to be using the indigenous language of my state,my own language,to run and conduct governmental businesses and affairs of my state but some villagers from a far away gods forsaken land of criminals are not happy about it ! No be madness be that ? Did I stop the government of Anambra or that of Ebonyi from adopting Igbo language as its official language ? It can only a very chronic inferiority complex,one that's borne out of extreme jealousy! Igbo actually wish they are the Yorubas and have everything that belongs to the Yorubas ! It's quite sad reading some of the Igbo people's comments here;it's shameful ! Chinedu,be proud of your own Arochukwu heritage na,why you wan die on top another man's land ? Igbo people's obsession with Lagos is crazy ! You can turn Enugu or Owerri to your own "Lagos" too after all you guys claim to be the developers of the universe ! Shior,these villagers are so shameless,walahi !

You are missing one thing on the issue of selling of land, when you buy any land, you are issued a certificate of occupancy( not certificate of ownership). This means, the land can be revoked by government when and if you misbehave. Have you asked yourself why government don't issue certificate of ownership? Anyway, for those who think because they buy land in any part of Southwest, it gives them the exvlusive rights to misbehave, make una just dey play..
Land use Act has been in effect in all states and FCT since 1963 and was modified in 1978 by Obasanjo..in effect more than 50 years before before more than 60% of the houses built in Lagos and many part of Ogun but has it stopped people from outside from developing those areas till today? Go and ask of the prices of land there in the market . The secret is to work hard to avoid your children from becoming tenants in their state and and at the mercy of strangers who will become their accommodators. You will be wasting your time expecting politicians to do it for you because they will be playing politics with your brain…work hard in life!

BreconHills:


"Go and read history" you said and then you proceeded to undermine history.

Which Lagos are you talking about. Is it the colony of Lagos ( island and yaba minus lekki) which later became the Lagos municipality? Or are you talking about Lagos state which now includes historic Western region areas such as ikeja all the way down ikorodu Road? The capital of the current lagos state was part of the Western region.

Secondly, lagos since 1991 is no longer the political capital of Nigeria. Abuja is now the capital and everybody can go there and do whatever they want. Calabar was capital of the southern protectorate of Nigeria at a time while Lokoja was also once an administrative capital of Nigeria. Why are these two places not being claimed as no man's land?

For 8 years under OBJ's PDP lagos was not given its statutory allocation, it was run to the ground, the airport, bridges and stadium were left to rot. Lagos was rebuilt in that period with money from Lagos. How then can it be no man's land? Did other regions contribute to the rebuilding of Lagos?

By reason of history and politics Lagos is yoruba. Let me post the old census of Lagos so you can see the people who lived here. You can Google the book title easily for reference.


Do you know why the Population of the Oyo was higher than that of the Ijebu in the Census ?

The Onikoyi of Ikoyi in Lagos is Ethnic Oyo

These movies U listed are not Yoruba movies. They are Nollywood. The main star in Wedding Party is Edo so how is that a Yoruba movie.

They are Yoruba movies that speak Yoruba dialect. Talk of those ones not movies directed by Yoruba man and produced by Igbo man.

Wake up and learn, all the movies I mentioned were produced by YORUBAS. Wedding party and king of boys is produced & directed by Kemi Adetiba, October 1st, Phone Swap, CEO, Figurine etc. by Kunle Afolayan, 30 days in Atlanta by AY, Omo getho by Funke Akindele, etc. And besides, what do you mean by Nollywood?😂😂😂 You are not informed at all. In Nigeria, there are Nollywood and Kannywood. So most actor/actress are Nollywood. However, some of them are either acting in Igbo or Yoruba, or Igbo/English or Yoruba/English or both. Like wise in Kannywood, the Hausa version.

Even Ojukwu and Azikiwe spoke fluent Yoruba, so why has Peter Obi refused to Learn to speak it

And why did he impose Gbadebo Rhodes who can hardly speak Yoruba as the Presidential candidate

of Lagos If he didn’t have ulterior motives for doing so

To add insult to injury some Obidients went on Social Media to announce that once they got Power in

Lagos they would remove Traditional Rulers of Lagos

Peter Obi completely refused to correct his People and call them to order
