We will enjoy one Nigeria together, you people here in Anambra are begging for unity, so brace-up

biggy26:
Guy, there's no basis for comparison. A Nigerian language has always been compulsory in secondary schools, but doesn't determine ur admission. Secondly, Lagos, is a cosmopolitan state, so u can't compare it with states in d east or other regions. That u pass Yoruba for instance, doesn't mean u can speak d language. What d govt. should do is to encourage parents to teach their wards Yoruba especially Yoruba families. Nigeria issue big pass language abeg.

bigpicture001:
..now I know u reason with your leg,hence,u step on it and then become senseless....hv u visited uniben,unical, uniuyo,.unilag etc..did u notice that the general studies in each of these skls, hv a language study according to the tradition of each host state,y then call out Imo nd anambra as dou dey do somtjing difrent..no school in the entire country will deny you admission if you dont have a pass in a language subject..that is what lagos wants to start..so mr, señales man, don't confuse ppl here with what is not obtainable else where...foolish triabalized tribe...always hating nd still pointing fingers

texazzpete:
If you didn't want to be lumped in with the rest of the e-tribal warriors on Nairaland, you would couch your words better. I can only go by what you put down, as well as your choice of words.

Secondly, given that it is a mandatory requirement for admission and may disadvantage non-lagosians who are unable to be sufficiently skilled in the language, it may well be far from 'harmless'.

franugo:
sir, you crack me up...lets put it this way, if you take the waec/neco exams, pass english and maths, but fail yoruba, according to this law, you cannot get admission into the state universities right does this, then, not make yoruba a compulsory subject to enter the uni? i did not state that courses in the unis would be taught using yoruba (after all no course in the uni has been taught using maths), what i stated and meant was that yoruba language is being unnecessarily elevated to a core subject for entry into university like maths and english are for most courses, infact if this law is actualized, then yoruba would be more important than maths and english as there are courses which do not require maths or english as prerequisite to study them.
hope we are clear sir?

franugo:
what spin am i putting on it sir?? firstly, before entering the uni in lagos state, you have to have at least a credit in yoruba, not so? according to this law anyway...all I am saying sir is that this is not the case in the east as some of you here have opined, where is the spin in what i just typed?

FKO81:
I guess you are dumb, you don't understand the meaning of SLAVES, your slaves are the ones living in highbrow areas in Lagos while masters are living in slums

Igbo man Sir Louis Ojukwu, Nigeria first millionaire was the first to acquire properties in Ikoyi after colonial masters left, Igbo man ABC Ojiakor is first Nigeria to acquire property in Eko Atlantic city, Igbo dominant in Festac, Lekki, Banana Island VGC etc, go to major markets and see how your people are serving Igbos, your Male parking vehicles while females wash toilets and carry load for customers at the end of the day omo Igbo will give money to take care of ignorant ones like you , I guess you haven't seen latest poverty report, southwest are the mostimpoverish region in south

How come you couldn't decipher a simple sentence?

Odingo1:
I am referring to Lagos State University(LASU) not UNILAG, everyone knows that university of lagos (unilag) is own by federal government.

ositadima1:
Funny, at least you now know what a constituency is. If I say constituency I don't mean the whole of UK. You have learned something from me.

Odingo1:
You are the one putting false spin on it.

When you make a subject compulsory for admission at Credit level it become equal to courses like English,maths and other additional three courses depending on whether one is doing science,arts or social sciences.

Like example if one want to study Medicine at university of Lagos, for one to gain admission you have to pass the following subject at credit level;

1.English
2.Maths
3.Biology
4.Physics
5.Chemistry
6.Yoruba.

Even if you have A in English,Maths, Biology,Physics ,Chemistry and fail Yoruba language you wont get admission.

ositadima1:
Pls don't play dumb with me, I wrote this;

"They were elected by their constituencies where black are majority."

ositadima1:
Majority will always carry the vote, last year a total of seven Nigerians were elected into the UK parliament. They were elected by their constituencies where black are majority. If the present influx of other tribes continue, in the not so distant future the Yorubas will be outnumbered within Lagos, what do you think will happen then? Again, I don't care, just proving a point.

ositadima1:
No law is final, it can be appealed.

Thank God, you agree you don't have more claim over Lagos than I have. Yourobas may influence the happenings in Lagos today, just because they are majority, it may be different tomorrow.

Joseph Yobo's Wife Shares Amazing Testimony Behind Their Daughter's Birth

Ex-beauty queen, Adaeze Yobo and Joseph Yobo's daughter, Lexine is one year old today.

The excited mother of 3 took to her Instagram page to share adorable photos of her and also the powerful testimony behind her birth.

She wrote;

"#lookatmenow �
Ist scan showed it was Fibroid, 2nd scan (diff. hospital) showed it was Fibroid and pregnancy but an incomplete abortion (whatever that means) but that I had to flush yu out, which I (thought) i did.
A week later, i still felt sick so I called the Dr. and I was scheduled to surgically complete removal of the remaining tissue.
On my way going, the holy spirit directed me to go to another hospital which I did and was told you were still inside and I had no Fibroid. instead of being happy, i cried and worried whether to keep you or not, worried if you will be normal after all the drugs n all. look at you now baby girl � #lexineisonetoday ��#birthdaygirl"

Do you need more examples to show that you are wrong

ositadima1:
Your comprehension skills need some brush up, where did I mention black are majority in the UK? Or you don't understand what is the meaning of constituency.

To repeat my self, majority in their constituency are blacks and non-whites. To hold a position in a parliament you have to be voted in by your constituency. I hope you learnt something new today.

franugo:
bros, but promotion from js111 to ss1 is not the same as making it compulsory for admission into higher institution na,,,,,,,that there is a department of igbo language does not make it a compulsory course in tertiary institutions. what lagos is trying to do is make yoruba as important as maths and english for ALL students, even those who know nothing of the language

sekxyqueen:
from minority tribe indeed

DocHMD:
All my family members immediate and extended all attended Federal Universities and Institutions. States' tertiary institutions are mediocre and expensive. No value for money.

franugo:
sir, igbo is not a compulsory subject to study any course in the tertiary institution in the east, at least not to any course that has no bearing with native language,...correct me if i am wrong, but is lagos state not trying to make yoruba language compulsory for ALL courses in the tertiary institution?

letusbepieces:
THIS ONE WILL BE THE CHERRY ON THE TOP OF THE CAKE.

franugo:
firstly, i do not wail...it is beneath me secondly, i don't really care about what you guys do, I have finished my tertiary education and have served my country to the best of my ability. what i am trying to right here is the misconception that igbo is a mandatory subject for admission into higher institutions in the east. I served in Anambra and I can tell you, without mincing words, that igbo is not a mandatory subject for promotion, at least in the school where i served. I am not sure who you are trying to convince here, me or yourself, cause using general studies as an example is laughable, we are talking about courses like medicine, engineering, law etc. This law, at least to the best of my knowledge at the moment, will restrict people who are not well versed in Yoruba language from studying such courses, which is discrimination at best and criminality at worst

U R STILL MAKING PERSONAL ATTACKS.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME.

IT IS ABOUT THE INSURMOUNTABLE CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

AMBODE WILL SPEND THE REMAINDER OF HIS TENURE BEING DRAGGED FROM COURT TO COURT.

td2tnkstr:
When something like this was done in Anambra in 2009, these were some of the comments.

So why are igbos crying now that it's Lagos? *I am not understanding*

letusbepieces:
THERE U GO AGAIN THINKING THIS IS ABOUT ME AND MAKING PERSONAL ATTACKS.

LET ME REPEAT AGAIN.

THE AUTHOR AND RESPONDANT ARE ONE NIGERIAN YORUBAS, THOSE THAT BELIEVE IN THE STRENGHT IN OUR DIVERSITY AND THE SHARING FORMULAR OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY.

letusbepieces:

EVIL TAKES HOLD OF THE LAND, WHEN THE GOOD PEOPLE STANDBY AND DO NOTHING.

U WANT TO MAKE THIS PERSONAL WITH ME BUT I AM NOT THE AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE AND NEITHER AM I THE PLAYERS RESPONDING TO APPARTHIED IN LAGOS.

THE AUTHOR AND RESPONDANT ARE ONE NIGERIAN YORUBAS, IF AMBODE HAS NO DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND WANT TO WASTE THE REMAINDER OGF HIS TIME IN COURT, THEY ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO OBLIGE HIM.

HE WILL REGRET THE DAY HE VENTURED INTO TRIBAL SUPREMACIST POLITICS AND ETHNIC CLEANSING.

Enemyofpeace:
God bless you and your entire generation. Some people just like making unnecessary noise with their dirty mouths

If you don't know how to read

One -okan

Two- eji

Tiri- eta

Four - Erin

Five - arun

Sex - EFA

Seben - eje

Hate - ejo

Nine - esan

Ten - ewa

Forget about our state school. We must preserve and promote our indigenous language.

THE ONE NIGERIA YORUBAS ARE THE ONES THAT WILL FUSTRATE YOUR ODUDUWA REPUBLIC BILL.

NIGERIA HAVE GONE TOO FAR TO ALLOW SEPARATIST AND TRIBAL SUPREMACIST DIVIDE US.

THIS BILL IS VERY NICE ON PAPER BUT WILL HAVE THE INSURMOUNTABLE CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA TO CONTEND WITH.

franugo:
huh either you dont understand what is happening here or na me dey overstand. there is no state in the east where it is compulsory to have at least a credit in igbo language to be admitted into their state universities. that, seems to me to be what lagos state is trying to do here. they want to make yoruba a core subject like maths and english for their state university.

letusbepieces:

THE ONE NIGERIA YORUBA HAVE SPOKEN OUT AND GUESS WAT?

THE LAW OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA IS ON THEIR SIDE.

THEY JUST NEEDED APC AMBODE TO SHOW THEIR TRUE COLOUR BEFORE TAKING THEM TO THE CLEANERS.

U CANNOT ERODE THE CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS OF OTHER NIGERIANS LAWFULLY RESIDENT IN LAGOS STATE BECOS U FEEL THREATENED BY THEIR PRESENCE.

DocHMD:
The law does not affect federal-owned tertiary institutions only state owned institution like Laspotech, Lasu and other mediocre state institutions which none of my relative can never attend. Anambra also has a similar "Subakwa Igbo" law.

letusbepieces:
The one Nigeria Yoruba have spoken out against the oduduwa republic Yorubas.

Let us pause for a second and critically analyse the action of Ambode apc.

U claim you want to preserve Yoruba language but yet yoruba hinter state like Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo and Osun dont see need to pass such law.

Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria with about 70% of its population being nonyoruba is passing bill to impose Yoruba language on non yorubas.

Thus, where by the non yoruba fail to comply they will be discriminated from going to University.

This begs the question of does Ambode APC understand the meaning of constitutional human rights?

Hotfreeze:
In fact, they should change the law and add that Igbos should be given Yoruba tribal marks before being allowed to join the civil service.
