Egun people can't complain about Yoruba language as the official language of Lagos because is also their language.

Begin to look for another tribe in Lagos. okay?
And you know that because you're Egun, and they told you they want their language Egun to die, the same Egun people that were complain of Afonja maginalization during the last national conference, yeye ewedu landgrabbers

That dude has informed you everything abut Ogu or Egun people..but your refusal to comprehend is astonishing.

The general Yoruba is their first language while Egun dialect is their second language.

There are 40 different languages in Ondo-states aside Yoruba language yet, all these people speak the general Yoruba language(first language or primary language) along with their local dialect(second language or secondary). Non of the 40 languages including the ijaws will ever tell you he or she is not a Yoruba person.

Egun people can be likened to that

Egun people are migrants from Benin republic more than half of them are still in Benin till today. They can never say Lagos is not a Yoruba land. They were accommodated by the Yorubas.

Overtime they have embraced the Yoruba culture than a Yoruba person. to the extent most of them call themselves Yoruba.

Egun dialect cannot be the official language of anywhere in Lagos.
A yoruba man cant tell me anything about Egun only an Egun man can, only an ewedu eating person will be naive to call Egun a dialect of Yoruba.

Go to books.google.com, type in pogrom 1966. You can either run through excerpts from the list of books or open & them one after the other.

If you want primary source, visit the National Arhives.

I used the word pogrom severally with ‘66 (1966) as the dating. How that culminates into 2011 to you is something I find difficult to fathom.

Lewwwl some of us read, we have gone through records of the 1966 pogrom in primary & secondary text sources. We know how many of you were killed in large numbers and flocked with your luggages on your head to the east. We have seen this time and again in recent years but rather than trekk this time, you folks have innoson, Ifesinachi & such providing buses to move you folks quickly.

The soil of Northern Nigeria reeks with the blood of Hausas killed by the Fulani in the Jihad & it is followed closely by the blood of numerous Yiibos that have been subjected to taregt practice whenever there’s a free for all. grin
Show me the "text sources" where Yoruba population in the north was speared, here is on text of ethnic violence in the north, "aftermath of 2011 election" where Jonathan


"The protesters started burning tires, and the protests soon turned into riots. The rioting quickly degenerated into sectarian and ethnic bloodletting across the northern states. Muslim rioters targeted and killed Christians and members of ethnic groups from southern Nigeria,"

Your rant is just some consolation for your battered ego. Yiibos have continued to be Hausa’s preferred victims of target practise. When the Hausa really want to engage in massacre they know how to identify Igbo from Hausa.

I’ll let the ‘66 pogrom tell you the rest. grin

LOL sunpo, looking for straws.

Your post is synonymous to asking the LASG to preserve Yoruba dialect of Epe; Yoruba dialect of Awori; Yoruba dialect of Egba & Yoruba dialect of returnees on the island & Oba of Lagos’ palace Bini language.

Lagos indigenes like the rest of Yoruba people im the SW, Republic of Benin & Togo speak two types Yoruba language. The national official type & local dialects.

Lagos indegenss want to promote their national Yoruba language in their state. Get with the programmeor go home, simple.
Your ignorance is worst than I first suspected, so Egun spoken in Lagos state; Ogun state: Ado-Odo-Ota, Badagry, and Idiroko LGAs is now a dialect of Yoruba. You are a "insert a word to describe your action"

There’s no need to go Hitler, that has never worked in Nigeria, rather it increases the love for a place. An example is found in how Hausa have continued to test their suya knives on & do target practise with Yiibo since 1966. Yet, a good number of una keep flocking there enmasse to be killed when they ae tensed.

Sit back & watch the anti-immigrat laws begin to take effect. We are not violent people by default, diplomacy is our natural gift.

You’ll see in the coming months and years.
The suya knives you're making joke with have tasted all southerners, I remember when my southern sister Mrs. Eunice Olawale Elisha( dein na mu) was tested by the suya knives on & used as target practise by the Hausa people. Do you think Your Fulani masters asked her if she was "Yiibo" before chopping her into #20 morsels

Stupid, second language NOT first.

All Yoruba speak our national Yoruba as second language but we revert to our dialects as first when we can.

This is the case with Ogu people.

Step up your comprehension.
What are you even arguing about that the indigenous Egun people don't deserve their language to be protected by the LSG ,even though they speak Yoruba as 3rd language language according to you, you need to step up ur level of thinking, its deficient

It is Ogu not Egun, don’t be stupid.

Badagry & Ajah people are largely Yoruba these days with Yoruba names & Yoruba language as second language.
So going by your claim now that Egun people speak Yoruba as 2nd language, won't it be the indigenous Egun people that will need the language revitalization and the inclusion of Egun language in the school curriculum? Ah Yoruba otu, Tebra

I have no time to get petty.

Petty trade does not equal Lagos economy domination.

And your petty trades will soon be neutralised by moving it to locations with difficulty of access and not only that with high side rent payments which will result in a good number of you dispersing from Lagos.

Watch.
Hahahaha, bros if I were to be a business man and my business is doing well in Lagos, even if the rent becomes 1 billion naira, I will still pay and put it into the price of goods and make profit because human being go still buy(weda Youruba , Egun, Nigeria or non nigerian) the only way you can chase non Yoruba from lagos is by Going hitler on them not by including as primary school subject, what a weak agenda from a supposedly "sophisticated" people

Uncle, your view on this bill is parochial.

First of all you need to understad the early social & cultural history of Lagos and its steady decline since the immediate post colonial days.

Eko people that is Epe, Ijebu, Awori, Yoruba slave returnees from Portugal and Brazil, Egba of Ebute Metta and Sang Otta, Oyo of Ikoyi to mention a few have had their cultural heritage suppresed. This is not the case with your Kano where, despite the multiple population, Hausa culture is still the driving force in the state. It is not so for Eko people, they feel their identities are being erased and they want it back.

The law is not about Igbos or Hausa, it is about the locals wanting to have their state run by their cultural and social practices and the least you & Igbos can do is to respect it.

Anambra & Abia did the same thing & no one cared. When did Yoruba’s business become everybody’s business?
Notice how Egun people are not "Lagos people", Yorubas are a funny set of people

You are deluded and an illiterate if you think two by two stalls equate ‘economy’.

Economy of Lagos is dependent on corporate businesses that pay tax. Banks, schools, industries, companies, firms & the likes.

Petty trades you call economy of Lagos is inconsequential & can be taken back if we really want to. Watch how non-Yoruba dominated markets in Lagos will be relocated to the outskirts of Lagos in the coming years and will naturally die out & depopulate Lagos in the long haul

It isn’t only Lagos petty trade that will be taken back, Lagos infrastructure will also be taken back from you lot.

Watch.

This is a baseless claim.

You must have confused loaded trucks of almajiri & loaded buses of Ifesinachi bringing troops of useless individuals who line up as ‘apprentice’ under a ‘Dede’ with 2 by 2 shop with domination. A whole lineage monitoring just one business does not mean ‘domination’.

I don’t know what you regard as ‘commerce’ but if it is within the context of market trade then your claim is still false.

For every business populated by certain ethnic groups in Lagos, you’ll find Yoruba in it. Meanwhile, in all the trades populated by Yoruba in Lagos, you won’t find others doing it.

Relatable examples:

Igbos sell spare parts, electronics & 2 by 2 boutique clothes. Yoruba, even if in low percentage do these things.

Hausa sell meat, animals, tomatoes, onions. Yoruba engage in these trades, may be at low percentage. Shoemaking cobbler business is even organized at shop level by Yoruba why Hausa do it at minor itinerant level.

Yoruba cornered and have large sections of markets for elewe omo, leku leja, agbo. You can never find Igbo or Hausa engaged in this type of commerce.

How then are the non-Yoruba dominating the commerce sector?
In your boxed mind non-yoruba are not dominting commerce in Lagos, be sincere to yourself lets see how Yorubas can actually get back Lagos economy from Non yoruba, its definitely not through waec subject
