I guess the compensation for the land didn't go well.

Rather than it waste away.

His health is at risk. Whatever he is earning from that will also go into getting medication.

If I hear!

It's the parents but in a situation where both parents are working and there is no relative to care and train the children, the children of such parents will find it difficult to learn especially if they are sent to boarding schools....

In your case, one of the parents is jobless or does not have an 8 - 5 job and has time to interact and develop the children... parents who work 8-5 don't have time to train the children they feel school would teach the children everything...

One of my parents jobless ké? Both were contractors, were sub contractors during the construction of FESTAC town and the National Theatre, Iganmu. They did regularly traveled out of Lagos to go source construction materials.

75℅ of blocks used in building houses in Ojota before 1982 were from parents' block factory. My parents lived a very busy life and we spoke Igbo but my aunt who lived in the same environment and was a stay at home mom but her children were limited to speaking Yoruba and pidgin at home and we found that irritating. They were not comfortable visiting our home because of the speak only Igbo rule.

I know parents who remedied the situation by sending their kids to boarding schools in the South East, it really helped their children.

The airline was grossly mismanaged.

you attended a public school, your neighbours spoke their language and you were always eavesdropping unlike today that most people live in estates and don't even hear their neighbours talking.. most people send their children to private schools where speaking local language is a taboo.

the problem also comes down to the parents not speaking it to their children and the fact that they work from morning till night... in my opinion, all primary schools(private and public) in a region should teach in the native of that region..

The key problem is the parents because most of those who lived closest to us were Yorubas, Binis and Efiks. I live here in Nairobi and am impressed by a couple whose kids are grounded in the Igbo language despite being born and raised in Kenya, I feel comfortable interacting with them in Igbo as against Swahili or English.

My sister and her husband live in an Estate that is exclusive but I am happy with my 5 years niece because we can communicate in Igbo. While we were growing up I and my siblings have always said our kids will speak Igbo because we appreciate how it has helped us.

I envy you. I have tried to learn Igbo language, but it's really hard man

Though we were all born and raised in Lagos, my family have been in Lagos since 1959 but my parents insisted no Yoruba or pidgin at home! We easily picked the Owerri and Mbaise dialects from our neighbours because we were grounded in the basics.

That is why I can not understand Igbo parents raising children outside the South East are finding it difficult transmitting the Igbo identity to their kids.

Afonjas and their divisive style. Hopefully Igbos and northerners teachers, will not be deported this time.

Lagos is Yorubaland.

Quite contradictory

How is it contradictory?

Who are they gonna teach ??

Waste of money

Pupils in the State's public schools.

A good move. I learnt Yoruba in school, spoke Igbo at home and these combination has enriched my worldview.

My father bought up to 4 Volkswagen beetle between 1976 and 1981. Then bought Peugeot 504 GL.

She should also show the picture of the gift she gave the couple!

He has also been directed by the court to refund all salaries and entitlement collected so far as a Senator.
