Bloody hypocrite!

Don’t forget to tell Nigerians how over 50% senior staff in the same FUNAI are Yoruba. How the first VC who was Yoruba did backyard and shody appointment for his brothers.

Would you take this if it was done in Ogun?

Shut up...Igbo language is been treated as a GS course for long now, I know Unizik are studying Igbo as a GS course for year 1 students...

But there is always a section to indicate you are non igbo and there questions are always different from S.E states...very very easy, infact one of my Akwa Ibom comrade made a sharp A both semesters...!!

Greedy people

Arapmoi22:


There's something you don't understand about the igbos.
They desire the 1963 -1966 roller-coasters in which their sons occupied positions of authority.
President Azikiwe, Senate president Author orizu, CDS Aguiyi Ironsi, 80% of military officer ranks and high positions in government offices.
That was what ibos see as the right thing. Things are always right and fine when they are in charge and in control.
Outside that, it's skewed.
Know this fact, making igbo language a GNS is fine to every igbo man. It will not be fine if it is itshekiri, ijaw, tiv, kanuri, hausa, fulani or Yoruba.

and what you forgot to ask yourself was during the 1963 era did the Igbos merit those position or they grabbed it?
Our IQ is way above others in Nigeria,,no wonder the hate

Greedy people

Don't waste your time getting pained, mobilize people to storm the senate buildings of all SW universities and demand for it!

Validated:
Go to court!!!

They don't have to go to Court

They can just do the same in Lagos

I schooled in unizik
GS109(first semester) and GS10(second semester) are Igbo and compulsory, though non indigenes own are very easy, they are the ones that pass it easily.
But you must pass it, otherwise you're not leaving the school.

Don't mind this people. You're very correct.
Non indigenes pass the Igbo more than the indigenes because they made theirs very easy.
90% of the non indigenes score As while the indigenes escape with Ds and Es.

Nairaland is losing it

Everything must turn tribal engagement Nairalander

Zupay:


Not only in the SW but the entire Country, it would enrich the learning experience.

I was born and raised in Lagos, I was taught Yoruba from primary one to J.S.S 3. I communicate fluently in Yoruba language alongside my native language, Igbo.

So let Yoruba, Efik, Tiv, Hausa, Igbo etc be a compulsory GST course in our universities.

So, it's a course studied in 1 semester that'll make you communicate in a language you never learnt before?

Gossiphub:


Don't mind him.

He left all th schools in SW to smuggle in Unilag.

Like Lagos is the entirety of SW

because Unilag is in the mudridden Land of the Rising Scorn?

This is very wrong in a Federal University.. Unical too should make Efik compulsory while UI, UNILAG and OAU should make Yoruba a compulsory general course.

Don't mind those ones, they should keep playing victim, As if I didn't do Hausa language as a subject in Kaduna state...

Heaven will not fall, if they include their language in there study, but coming online to downplay others for studying there language is the height of stupidity...

DaddyCoool:
Igbos would love that because they are already doing it (studying other Nigerian languages)

Astute. I wanted to say exactly same. Wish I had opportunity to learn Hausa and Yoruba languages.

When Lagos assembly is enacting law on yoruba language and culture for schools and government functions, some people raise alarm.
Some northern states have been implementing culture and language policy directly or indirectly.
Things fall apart is a prophetic book. Nigeria would be fragmented but it would be slow and gradual.

This is my problem with Nigerian Universities.

They too dey teach irrelevant things and spend less time teaching core courses to students. Tufiakwa

Maize247:
Every University in the SW should note this

Is Yoruba language not a compulsory subject in lagos

Abi what is this one saying

@maize247

UNN also teaches Igbo but it is part of GSP 207- Nigerian Peoples and Cultures.

It is also compulsory for all students except students of faculty of arts

I as an igbo, as a child was taught and started reading J.F Odunjo's Iwe kini Alawiye up to Iwe Kefa in primary school and summoned the courage to read Fagunwa's Ogboju Ọde ninu Igbo Irunmole in primary 5, is who would be angry if OAU, UI etc adopts Yoruba as a GST course?

Kunle Afolayan should make a movie out of it.

Igbo dis Igbo dat, goan get a life abeg make person hear word! No matter how much igbophobia you push, if a rerun is announced today, Peter Obi will still win Lagos & Abuja by landslide again! Nigerians did not vote tribe, we did not vote religion, we did not vote N540/L fuel, we voted for ObiDatti!!

Can you imagine. If any SW university try this, all hell will be let loose

slam7000:


It shouldn’t be compulsory for all undergraduates. They should be given options to study other Nigerian languages. It’s not fair on students from other ethnic groups who don’t understand Igbo or has done Igbo language at O’level.

Unsmart logic...

You study Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bournaparte, Greek and Roman civilisation but hardly complain...

It is a course to be studied... students are not in universities for playing...

They should request for a rich course material and get on with it...

001Lagos:

Is Yoruba language not a compulsory subject in lagos

Abi what is this one saying

You are not getting it. Yoruba language is compustry in secondary school own by state government but they do not force it on Federal government University like Igbo did

Maize247:
We will surely replicate it in SW

Every Child studying in Alvan Ikoku Model Demostaration Secondary School (ALVANA) must do Hausa/Yoruba/Igbo as a second language.

This is in the heart of Igbo land and nobody is protesting.

Travel, you no want. 60% or so of Igbos know and speak fluently one to four other Nigerian languages unlike other tribes.

Are you now playing Victim mentality?

2022Frustrated:
This is all shades of wrong. Not the University imposing a local language on the students in a Federal University.

I hope all Federal universities in Nigeria take a cue and implement a compulsory GST course on the prevalent language in their area. ABU Zaria should implement mandatory Hausa GST, Unilag shoul implement mandatory Yoruba GST, Unical should implement mandatory Efik etc

GST was introduced by UNN, it's good to see another Igbo school introduce compulsory local language too

Styluss:
If this was done by any Yoruba University, i am sure you and your cronies would be shouting marginalization by now. It's a federal Institution and that is all shades of wrong especially when its not being implemented Nationally. When you are wrong, you should admit rather than defend.
But I expect nothing less from the people who always chestbeats

Victim mentality

I dont understand!
Who has such mentality
