legitnow: This is very backward. If i may ask, wat stop Yoruba people speaking yoruba in their house or taking yoruba studies?
Must u force ur language on others? I think it is improper and wrong.
Over 50% of Lagos population are not Yorubas.
It is cosmopolitan with a growing population of international residence from other continent doing business and living in Nigeria commercial capital city.
[/s]Keep blowing grammar on nairaland instead of you to go to the house to oppose it. You are here blowing inconsequential grammar. Like o said, if Lagos likes, let her have 99.9% of non Yoruba, Yoruba language will be officially and compulsory be thought in Lagos schools. If you don't like it, like have said. Take the next available bus to aba. Good day.
How did we lose it? How did our standard of Education go down the drain? That all these people read the same story I read and didn't comprehend anything?
I'd make it easy for you all. Read the first line of the story.
She is 28years old.!!!
Even if she's 28, the bottom line is she broke the record. But as for you, what did you achieve to make you worthy of being posted in a news? As for your cousin, post his or her archievment here to see.
Only Buratai can tell us what they did to Nnamdi Kanu.
Because the Nnamdi Kanu we know is an extremely brave man. Far braver than the bravest men this country has ever known. He made Fela Anikulapo Kuti look like a learner.
Take it or leave it, Nnamdi Kanu will never have ran away or escaped from the zoo army. I was told the entire state was barricaded and there's no way he would have even escaped.
The army Chief and the dullard President don't know what they've gotten into. I hope their zombies will be still hailing and cheering them on when they are being tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity and genocide.
Till then; We respect Nnamdi Kanu the Great!!!
[/s]He should have came out during military regime na. So you were told. You weren't even there and you believe what you were told. Definitely you are a real zombie.
legitnow: The official language of Nigeria is English not Yoruba.
The latter is a sectional language
We know the official language of Nigeria is English. But the official language of Yorubaland is Yoruba. Lagos is yorubaland and the language must be made compulsory. If you don't like it, take your kids to aba, simple.
legitnow: We have go through all this, nobody forces language on other culture.
Respect people culture and the diversity.
[/s]This your grammar strong o. Go n tell France, Belgium, Portugal or Dutch and tell them not to compulsory their language in school because you are working there.
Origamist: Dude, I don't understand what your obsession with Awolowo is all about. All these allegations have been interred on this board several times.You claim to be the moderator of the thread,yet you don't find it hypocritical to also play the role of a judge without taking time to conduct a comprehensive research on how tribalism crept into national politics. I guess Zik & Samuel Akinsanya who claimed the latter was not allowed to assume the NYM vacant seat because he was an Ijebu Yoruba were not tribalists,but Awolowo who supported Ernest Ikoli (an Ijaw candidate)against a fellow Ijebu man deserves to be called the father of political tribalism,init? And the nationalist who displaced Eyo Ita after returning to his region was no tribalist,right? What objective person will accept d opinion of Unongo -the present Chairman of the Northern Elders Forum who is yet to condemn the activities of the herdsmen killing his people in Benue- about Awolowo,when we all know NCNC was in an alliance with the North then? Stop being a closeted tribalist,man.
PrecisionFx: Awolowo said he was taking yoruba out of Nigeria, it's not a hidden or a secret fact, it was on national dailies both at home n in Britain n the western world.
Zik couldn't have given 96 job positions to igbos n 8 to other tribes in nigeria, he couldn't even do it if it were his private university both in the 60s and now. And let me remind u, there wasn't anything like quota back them..... it was a simple case of the best qualified candidates takes all.
A Fulani man during the same period zik won to the premier of the west, a Fulani man was voted in as the first mayor in enugu state.
Little children pls goan read history.
[/s]Give the name of the Fulani man. No amount of story would change what zik did in u University College. Or you want to tell me the 96 igbo were qualified for the post then?
months: more like inferiority complex mental paralysis.
igbo natural endowment have drove dem mad with envy, make dem come collect my children now make i dey see.
Ndi ara.
Who is collecting your children hehehehehe. I love the pain you are going through now. Let me advise you, if you must die in yorubaland because ebonyi dey chase you. Then remove your children from Lagos schools because of Yoruba language. But it won't stop the language from being compulsory one.
knowledgeable: Igbo children are your target primarily. We know Yorubas to well. Igbos are specifically endowed.....dominating sports, entertainment, beauty contests and etc. It's only a matter of time when awards and shows will be conducted in Yoruba language in lagos. This will give the outside world the impression that all these talented and beautiful people are Yorubas.
Unity beggars in other to promote Yoruba tribe only.
We don hear you. But all these igbo dominate this and that won't stop what we want. If you like, kill yourself, we care not. If you like you can dominate Atlantic or Pacific Ocean. We don't care. Yoruba language is compulsory in Lagos. If you don't like it. Hit the road to aba.
ALOWONLE419: MAJORITY CARRIES THE VOTE BRUH... YOU INFIDELS ARE INCONSEQUENTIAL WHEN IT COMES TO WHO DICTATE WHAT HAPPENS IN YORUBA LAND
Mtchewww, Your rant in ondo is a child play. Islam is useless In Yoruba land. We don't want people who can't see the moon until their northern master decides for them.
months: Lagos is not southwest. My children will not speak YORUBA.
Kiss the truth.
Ok, Lagos is not south west. Lagos is south east. Hope your are okay now. Nobody cares if your kids speaks Yoruba or not. If your children like, they can speak egun. That one is you and your kids palava. All we know is Yoruba is now a must in Lagos schools simple. Ebonyi road is very much opened.
legitnow: If we allow u force langauage that is useless on us, tomorrow the Hausafulani will force islam on us. Y not just accept that u feel the same way kanu and IPOB feel and call referendum, u can make Yoruba ur official language and only speak yoruba.
So, Hausa will come to your land to force Islam on you. You sound stupid. How did Lagos forces Yoruba language on you in their own land? Do they go to amambra or abia to make Yoruba language compulsory. Lagos is Yoruba land, if you can't learn the language, then fashy. Go and tell German not to make their language compulsory na .
PVision2020: So Igbo's don't reside or pay taxes in kano? why don't you object to Hausa being taught up north? When I served in rivers state we (corpers) were all made to learn the indigenous languages (kalabari, ikwere, Ogoni etc) in camp despite Rivers being a cosmopolitan state like Lagos. Disrespect is when you fail to honour the people you meet in a place and also trying to impose your will on them. The law has been passed, you guys can do you worst.
They have no worst to do. Who cares about their rant. They should go back to east if e dey pain them.
Klinee: So long as they reside,do business and pay taxes in Lagos, they have every Constitutionally right to be recognized as integral part of Lagos. And they must also share equivalent right with the so called indigenous.
We are talking about Lagos and your are bringing Abia and Ebonyi into the matter, what concern both States here?
[/s]Trash, go and give them the right na. Who even get time to waste arguing with you people. Go to your land and make your own decision. This is Yoruba land and the bill has been passed. Anyone who doesn't like it can kindly hit the road to the east and north. West gives no damn.
