The Lagos State House of Assembly has expressed the need for the use of Yoruba language in train instructions and announcement of the newly launched Blue Line Rail services in the state.


To the effect, the House invited the Lagos Metro Area Transport Authority, LAMATA, for deliberations on the matter.

The House, in a terse statement, also called on the Ministry of Environment to commence immediate clearing of drainage channels and canals across the state.

Other part of plenary saw the House confirming Tolani Akibu who was one of the nominees of the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.


Akibu had initially been stepped down by lawmakers.


The House has now adjourned plenary until Tuesday, 19th September, 2023.

I SPEAK YORUBA BUT IT DONT MAKE ME YORUBA.

THEY SHOULD SPREAD THE LANGUAGE SO EVERYBODY WILL LEARN IT, THEN , WHEN THEY ARE TALKING, WE WILL ALL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.


HOWEVER, WHEN WE SPEAK OUR OWN, THEM NO GO HEAR.


FOOLS!

What are you saying? lagos assembly comprises of many lagos natives from different part of the state. How does this link them to ibadan?

The animal my trap killed this morning... Is it safe to eat this kind of animal?

I don't think this is our problem.

I would rather say the mindset We have with regards to this two factors you outlined is our problem.

AntiMarxist:


This is just the begining.

Lagos state wants to drill it into your flat heads that Lagos is a Yoruba state.

I have never seen a people like you Ibos who can not stop salivating over other people's land and resources ?


Is this how you will be doing your Biafra ?

Lolll I think You are plainly obsessed and addicted to doing tribal banters here with your fellow ignorant and low minded tribalist😀

Some Edo tribalist refute the claim "Lagos is no man's Land" They make claims of the Land being their own😀

Some Ijaw tribalist also make claims.

Are You aware that a one time Yoruba Governor of Lagos once used the term Lagos is no man's land?

No be only Igbo dey use that term for reality, but Your tribal hate soul needs it to be an Igbo thing so You fit do tribal hate with your co tribalist bcus You go surely die if you no do tribal hate on nairaland😀
Continue if it keeps you alive oo😀😀😀

The Cowrie Card should be written in Yoruba too

"Kaadi Owo Eyo"

This current crop of assembly members they para seriously 🤣. God bless them.

The Lagos rail is truly marvelous and a first in West Africa.

I said it, the worst mistake you can make is giving a Yoruba man power.

They can use both Yoruba,English and Pigin that will be great.
But to use only Yoruba is nonsensical.

Wail harder

That's the right thing to do.. English language for non natives and Yoruba language for the natives and authentic owners of the land.

They are using English and Yoruba.

And if they decide they want to only use Yoruba too, that is fine. Lagos is Yorubaland and if you don’t understand Yoruba, either get an interpreter or pack your bag and go back to where you won’t need to speak Yoruba.

If I am in China and their rail service is being conducted in Chinese, I no need to fight them to make sure it’s done in English. I either go back home or look at the train symbol to see the next station.

Lagos is Yorubaland no doubt and are at liberty to even use only Yoruba language but what about non Yoruba speakers that lives in Lagos?
In Turkey they they communicate with Turkish and English languages being a tourist destination.Leave primitive bigotry and trbalism alone and do what is best for business.

Bro, I just told you they are using English and Yoruba.

But if they eventually decide to use Yoruba alone, it is also welcome. Anyone that don’t understand Yoruba should check the train public screen, you will see where to get down and where to stop.

Turkey is different from Yorubaland. We don’t give a F how Turkey chose to do with their lives, if they like they can broadcast it in Arabic or even Latin. It’s none of our business.
