Ngozi123:
An inferiority complex is when you feel the need to make the teaching of your language in your state compulsory despite the fact that most people living there can already speak it, just to reassert your supposed dominance in said state. I don't really care about this law as I don't and have no plans to live in Lagos but it really reeks of a sense of insecurity on the part of the Yorubas.

PrecisionFx:
AFONJANISTAN AFONJANISTAN AFONJANISTAN.

IGBO wanna be, U can never be an Igbo man because an Afonja Yoruba ndi dirty etere ure will always be ndi ure.

.

Argue with Oduduwa while am away.

hammer6F:
Bro, Lagos is to the south wat Abuja is to the North.

Port Harcourt is to the south wat Kano is to the North.

If Lagos is now a village like Anambra and Osun, just tell the people mistaking it as a capital city of the south to leave.

Politics dat dont generate wealth, will generate poverty and all this your twisted presentation generate poverty via killing valuable time.

hammer6F:
[s][/s]I have said enough here and will leave u to continue with your heavy foolery.

I dont like having unending conversation with my fellow man.

Partnerbiz:
Obvious trait of striplings.

hammer6F:
U are not making sense.

There are no host in their own country.

In Nigeria, Nigeria is their host.

They are Nigerians until they get a separate country, which u yorubas have vocally objected to.

Partnerbiz:
You are just bereft of ratiocination.

Is the question how the school came about or it's status currently?

DerideGull:
As a Yari.ba peep, do you have a ward in the schools in Anambra or Imo State? It is complete idiocy to require a kid who has never heard of Igbo langauge talk less speak it to take and pass the Igbo language as a subject.

hammer6F:
Answer this question can Lagos state host all the student in their state university?

Do u know Lagos is the most populous State in Nigeria.

Several of their students are hosted in University across the country from Port Harcourt to Enugu, Borno, Kano, Edo Delta.

Wat if all the states follow Lagos example?

DerideGull:
Absolute falsehood. Igbo language is not compulsory to non-Igbo students and certainly not a prerequisite for gaining admission into state-owned tertiary institutions in Igbo land or any state. Yari.ba is not official language of Nigeria and can never become a compulsory curriculum or prerequisite subject of admission. Yari.ba people are known for tribal advocacy.

hammer6F:
People dat went to the dirty university are suffering in Libya and dieing in the sea to get to Europe.

Let me tell u, this law will create more problems for Lagos state.

How many people that even leave in Lagos state go to university in Lagos?

Wat if other states start discriminating on university admission?

My brother, learn to condemn wrong.

hammer6F:
Yoruba always starts tribalism in Nigeria but later turn round to pretend it is not dem .

Just imagine forcing Yoruba on non yoruba children like an islamist extremeist forcing islam on non muslim.

Jehovah!

hammer6F:
My brother, we still have wrong and right, bad and good in this world even if Africans have chosen to live in darkness.

Wat is the purpose of indoctrinating non yoruba people children with yoruba?

Is yoruba the official language of Nigeria?

USAbabe:
U think is all dat ? tomorow they will still come up with another law maybe this time it will be if cant speak yoruba no work for u.

i get it

i think is time for other tribe to follow this step there everybody will mind his or her business

Niger delta should take full ownership of there oil now . what is good for tom is good for dick

USAbabe:
i am not saying they should not promote their language but it shouldn't be compulsory for other trbes

Every Nigerian worked hard to make Lagos state what it is today, but when yorubas starts making it as if it all theres, i think is high time NIGER dELTA start clamming full ownership of their oil

USAbabe:
My question is why didn't they introduce this law to other yoruba state where yorubas are majority? y lagos:?

Lagos state was former capital territory and every Nigeria worked for the development of the state

why must is be lagos? unless they have other intention

omenkaLives:
You don't seem to understand what I wrote. Was actually pointing out what the same Afam who's complaining today wrote a couple of years ago.

USAbabe:
keep it on i am with u. after they will all be shouting one Nigeria

Partnerbiz:
Believing that is akin to believing that Nigeria is in Asia.

Partnerbiz:
The fact that you cited Unizik, a federal varsity as one offering Igbo compulsorily for all students casts aspersions on the authenticity of that source.

ASUTECH which was established through Law No. 7 of 30th July 1980 by the Government of the old Anambra, and operated as a multi-campus university, with campuses in Abakiliki, Enugu, Awka and Nnewi.

In 1991, following the split of the old Anambra State into Anambra and Enugu States, the Awka and Nnewi campuses of the former ASUTECH were constituent into Nnamdi Azikiwe University by the Anambra State Edict No.5 of November 26 1991. https://unizik.edu.ng/about/

Partnerbiz:
You mean that Unizik offers mandatory Igbo language course for ALL students. A federal Uni?

Thats incredible.

Lifestone:
In what way is the development of a 32year Master plan for Kogi State a bad idea? Most of the development problems that we have suffered as a country were as a result of lack of planning. What I expect most of the commentators to focus on are the details of the proposed documents and the impact they will have on the growth of the State, funding methodology, descipline of execution ( Political will) etc. As usual, what I'm reading here are sidetalk, emotions and personal prejudices.
I am not a fan of Yahaya Bello, as he hasn't justify the struggles for youth in leadership but on this point I join the VP Osinbajo to hail him

IamPatriotic:
It's either Osibanjo didn't say this, or he was under the influence of strong egbira charm when he said it, either way, he should stop being fraudlent. Which Yahaya Bello was he refering to?

deomelllo:
No, it can not be overturned because the LASG did exactly what the FG and the constitution recommended especially the red ilithed part.

cKaiser:
By Chukwujekwu Ilozue
Onitsha — Principals of secondary schools in Anambra State who promote pupils from Junior Secondary School III (JSS III) to Senior Secondary School I (SSS I) without the pupils passing Igbo language are to be removed from their positions and fined N5,000, for each of the pupils so promoted.

Also, any state or privately owned tertiary institution in the state which is found not to have established an Igbo language department or made Igbo language a mandatory general studies course by September, 2011 shall pay a fine of N100,000 for every month in which the offence continues

gidgiddy:
Ume and Oru? That shows you dont know what you are talking about. Oru died with the coming of the whiteman. Osus are not discriminated against in Igbo land except in marriage. Osus, do business, go to church, aspire in politics, become wealthy men and do everything anybody does. The only discrimination they suffer is in marriage, and as I have said before, discrimination in marriage can be for different reasons.

Are you just saying so to deceive others, or to make yourself feel better?

gidgiddy:
Far worse discrimination happens in Nigeria. How many times have you heard that Herdsmen went to core Northern Muslim states like Sokoto, Katsina, Kebbi and others to kill people? Very rarely. But you will hear that hedsmen are killing people in the Christian areas such as the middle belt and Southern Kaduna.

But you will never hear that anyone killed an Osu or treated them badly in Igbo land. That some families dont want to marry them is a minor issue, there are many fishes in the sea.

Muslim group questions IGP over alleged killing of 732 Fulani herdsmen | Published on January 17, 2018 By Seun Opejobi |

“Are the people of Zamfara also Christians? Killings in Zamfara have been occurring for years yet nobody did anything. The Nigerian Army, the police and DSS went to sleep. The press looked the other way. 23 locals were killed in Daraga in October 2011. 48 lives were terminated in June 2013 in Kizara village. More than 200 people were massacred in April 2014 in Unguwar Galadima. 50 were slaughtered in Kwanar Dutse in February 2016. 36 were killed in Bindin in November of the same year while another 23 people were killed in Tungar Kahau and Mallamawa, all in Zamfara State alone. All the victims were Muslims but nobody showed concern.” http://dailypost.ng/2018/01/17/muslim-group-questions-igp-alleged-killing-732-fulani-herdsmen/

gidgiddy:
The bearded general did not wage a war, you Nigerians did. All the bearded general did was declare the freedom of his people and went his way with them.

But because you Nigerians cannot do without Igbos, so you people came fighting to bring Igbos back into the hell-fire called "one Nigeria"

gidgiddy:
On the contrary, Osu's are not discriminated against in Igbo soceity except in marriage. I see far more discrimination here on Nairaland and in Nigeria in general were people can be discriminated and even killed based on tribal, religious, ethnic and political sentiments.

Dont complain against us, last time we declared our own country and went our way, it was you people who came to wage war to bring us back.

PrecisionFx:
I didn't read all that Mr Afonja.

Focus on ilorin, Stop wasting ur focus. .

lexy2014:
am not saying people don't learn from failure. Am only saying that we if d story wasn't about paddy adenuga, who would have cared?d object of purchase, chevron, now made d whole thing look like a blockbuster and folks couldn't resist. If d story was about an obscure dude who failed at setting up a phone repair kiosk, am sure we wouldn't b saying we learn from failure. By d way, which countries were at d same level with Nigeria 40-50years ago and have now become 10times more developed than Nigeria?

Where are Nigeria's elders? By Pat Utomi | Date Published: 10/14/09

The case with Ghana is also particularly sad because it appears as though history is repeating itself for the third time. Let me explain. In the early 70s, Nigeria's Head of State, General Gowon was reported by the press as saying money was not Nigeria's problem, but how to spend it. Thereafter he gave out interest free loans to the Caribbean nation of Grenada to pay its workers.

Today, Nigeria has difficulty paying its own worker and Grenada which we used to dole out funds to now has a per capita income of $11,500 which is five times that of Nigeria. This act was a historical replay of that of Malaysia, which in the 50s came to Nigeria cap in hand to get palm oil seedlings, and used these seedlings it got from Nigeria, to start plantations that produce palm oil which helped push its economy in the 70s and 80s to the global forefront, and eventually became the world's largest producer of palm oil, and (wait for it) has in the 2000s been exporting palm oil to Nigeria!

Now both President Obasanjo and General Abacha during their time in office gave out huge sums to Ghana as either loans or gifts, and today, Ghana has celebrated multiple years of uninterrupted power supply while we are producing electricity at par with Ghana even when we have about eight times their population. This is the third instance in this pattern of history repeating itself from Malaysia , to Grenada to Ghana , all using gifts from Nigeria as stepping stones to national greatness while Nigeria retrogresses.

A Call to Action:Nigerian Youths Must Seek Participation in Politics | Written by EJ-AlozieNwagbaoso |

For an example, Nigeria and Singapore were at par GDP wise, HDI wise, Unemployment wise and had the same third world status, in the 60s. In the early 60s, Singapore was importing water from Malaysia. Singapore has not a single thing, natural resources wise, while Nigeria has everything and is the 7th largest oil producer in the world. 6 decades down the road:
• Per Capita: $3,416 (Nigeria) – $55,182 (Singapore);
• HDI: 0.504, 152nd (Nigeria) – 0.901, 9th (Singapore);

While Singapore’s economy is heavily diversified, Nigeria’s is still heavily dependent on oil. Nigeria, in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s was marred by a lot of military dictators who cared very little about development but were busy instituting corruption, committing human rights abuses and siphoning money to private accounts abroad.

Nigeria, despite her oil wealth and days of oil booms, failed to economically develop, diversify; and cater for her people. Nigeria still ranks so high in terms of low quality healthcare, low standard of living, infrastructural crisis, poverty, corruption, unemployment, inequality; has not been able to industrialize; and has one of the least HDIs in the world; despite being the highest economy in Africa and the largest oil producer in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Since 1965, Singapore has developed rapidly, earning recognition as one of the Four Asian Tigers. It places highly in international rankings with regard to education, healthcare, and economic competitiveness. The Singaporean economy is known as one of the freest, most innovative, most competitive, and most business-friendly. The 2013 Index of Economic Freedom ranks Singapore as the second freest economy in the world, behind Hong Kong. According to the Corruption Perceptions Index, Singapore is consistently ranked as one of the least corrupt countries in the world, along with New Zealand and the Scandinavian countries. Singapore is the 14th largest exporter and the 15th largest importer in the world. http://hibe-online.com/a-call-to-actionnigerian-youths-must-seek-participation-in-politics/

lmfao.

Afonja pls this is an Igbo tradition matter. U can join in wen the topic is about how Ancestor Afonja sold ilorin to the Fulani herdsmen. Keep off.

AreaFada2:
French franc was not at par with cefa before Euro came. It was pegged to francs and still pegged to Euro now.

Britain seeking to undercut EU by again gaining more advantage using colonial ties. While it reduces forex pressure on the Naira/ FG on paper, it could increase demand for British goods thereby increasing import dependence. Since forex will not be a restricting factor as much.

Okoroawusa:
British Government on Feb. 9, through its export credit agency, UK Export Finance (UKEF), said it would accept naira payments from Nigerian business owners trading with the UK.
