When did it become a sin for a Yoruba man to speak to fellow Yorubas in their language? If you choose to relegate your language for English it is your problem not Tinubu's fault.

But when Peter Obi a christian attends church service,it becomes a problem.

Peter Obi shouldn't go to church again because he's a presidential candidate, you guys are so hypocritical!!!

A party that depends on attacking other candidates as a selling point for their candidate.

The candidates sef...just shouting broooom broooom everywhere.

Tinubu is a regional candidate and that's why he will never win.

na igbo he suppose speak?
fvcking idiotic op

Nawa for some people o.

Why can't you guys leave this man alone and focus on our candidates and election. What are we going to gain from criticising his method of campaign.

Hahaaa, kilode, what is people problem sef, leave this man alone and vote for your choice. What is so difficult in that.

GoodHardDickk:
Tinubu is a regional candidate and a tribalistic bigot. Moreover about 70% yorubas do not understand English, hence the drug lord uses their dialect to communicate with them.

Tinubu will come distant 5th behind sowore in this election

Stop insulting Yorubas. Obi has more surpporters here than Thiefnubuu. Yoruba ni mi tokantokan sugbon Peter Obi ni choice mi ni February 25 nitoripe Thiefnubuu ti lu'le patapata. Tinubu is the only candidate using both religion and ethnicity to campaign so far but they will still put it on Obi

rippa:
Why do Tinubu always addressed his supporters in Yoruba language anytime he campaigned or visit South West states?
Does he think its only the Yorubas that comes out to listen to him?
Obi have campaigned in the East and Atiku in the North, i haven't seen them using their languages in those areas.
If it was Obi that is doing this now, urchins will be urinating everywhere on this platform.
Tinubu is the only candidate using both religion and ethnicity to campaign so far but they will still put it on Obi

A cousin was in Nsukka on official assignment. He made the same complaint about South East people too. I lived in the North for almost twenty years and I have seen some of their college graduates who could not communicate in English. If you travel wide, you will see this everywhere.
Mind you our government is planning to introduce policy that will make primary and secondary schools teach pupils in local languages.

On your second point, if killing your people in the name of seeking for a separate nation is what you call boldness, yoruba will not do that. Go back to pre-independence history of the country to know more about how yoruba political leaders fought the colonial masters to secure independence of 1960. Also read about the roles Eastern leaders played to establish who is more courageous. Yorubas are not nzobus.

franchasng:
Don't be deceived, 65% of Yorubas don't understand English, especially those living outside Lagos and Tinubu knows this.




The only Yorubas that understand English are those of them that have mixed with other tribes in Lagos, Ibadan, Agbara, Ore Ondo, etc.



I served in Yoruba land, I speak with audacity that majority of Yorubas outside Yoruba state capitals don't understand English.



If you go to Primary and Secondary schools in Yoruba states outside their state capitals, they teach them in Yoruba dialect. They even teach them English using Yoruba dialect.




But you are also right that an average Yoruba person is a born tribalist, yet they are not bold enough to demand for their own Yoruba country where they can live their life the way they cherish devoid of interference from any other tribe

Yet it was an Edo man that moved the motion for Nigeria independence 😂😂

rippa:

He is running for a Nigeria president and not yoruba president.
I bet u are among those criticising Peter Obi for honouring church invitations but clapping for Tinubu running on Muslim Muslim ticket

Osun is state in the Nigerian federation and the majority of the populace speak Yoruba. Why should he speak English that when they understand each other better in Yoruba? Again if you Atiku or Obi choose not to use their languages in their region it is not Tinubu's fault.

On Muslim-Muslim ticket, the reality in Yorubaland is being muslim or christian means nothing when deciding who to vote for. Obi is targeting the Christian vote in the believe that will be enough to win the election. So why is it a crime when Tinubu targets the Muslim votes in the north?

Was it just Osun?
Ogun, Lagos, Ondo and all the SW states he has visited.

Obi is doing double campaigns in the states in the north where Christians and muslims are almost in equal proportions, kaduna(he did campaign in North nd South), kebbi, borno, etc. So i wondered how he is targeting Christians alone when his vice is a pure Muslim

Go to any Government office in a Yoruba state, their official language is Yoruba dialect and if you can't speak it you are a goner cos they will see you as an outcast.


Why do you urchins love denying who you are?



Yorubas speak Yoruba dialect more than English and Tinubu understands this very well, reason he campaigns in Yoruba dialect whenever he visits a Yoruba state, you know the truth

Are the people coming to listen to Tinubu in those Yoruba states all Yorubas?
Are u saying Tinubu is only campaigning to the Yorubas in yoruba lands?
What of none Yorubas living there that came out to listen to him?

Again When Peter Obi speaks igbo in the East or Atiku speaks hausa or fulani in the North, dont come here and shout tribalism

In a democratic system that we operate majority carries the vote. Yoruba is the language of the majority of the populace in Yoruba states.

Obi speaking Igbo in SE and Atiku speaking Hausa in North means we starting accepting our realities in Nigeria which is a positive

padyt007:
if you said this about the north I will have agreed with you . I guessed you served in a farm settlement in South western Nigeria… because I know they don’t joke with education in south west .

Forget that motto for last statement oo...

My friend that served in IWO lg in osun state said barely 35% of the indigenous people understand English oo.. he couldn't even teach agriculture science well because of the language barrier

Osus
Funny losers

Sense no dey this Zombidiots miscreants head .. just imagine son of the soil speaking English in front of his people

I can assure you that you are wrong. I am living in London, and met a lot of Yorubas and I can tell you, they are not very fluent with English. Don't get me wrong, it isn't a problem. A Yoruba man can not go a day without speaking Yoruba which is a good thing.

NinjaXmetahuman:
He is among yorubas, he is Yoruba, he speaks Yoruba, but somehow you expect him to address his people in a foreign language.

Just how stupid are you people?
He was campaigning to his people to vote for him, not entire Nigeria. He wasn't addressing Nigerians or making official statement.
When he visits your state, he will speak the English you understand.

If you are so much interested in what he has to say to his people, get a translator or go and learn Yoruba.

Stop litering nairaland the dumb inferiority complex ridden thread.

Fresh oil dey your head...
The OP guy is super senseless...
this election has made me see that, most peeps are brainless and filled with hatred...

Tinubu and APC brought ethnicity to this election
Obi and Atiku are busy campaigning on issues while Tinubu is busy attacking everybody imcluding his own party
In 2023 a presidential candidate is busy attacking his opponents instead of telling us what he plan to do

President Buhari campaigns in Hausa in the North. It is inexplicable why and how on earth Mr Obi has lived in Yorubaland for decades yet can not understand or speak Yoruba, it shows his disdain for his host's culture and language.
The late Zik of Africa speaks Yoruba during campaigns while Late Chief Bola Ige speaks Igbo and Hausa fluently and use the language to campaign.

Language is for communication and human relationship, Asiwaju is communicating and relating with the people and with such huge votes at stake in his SW base, he needs to connect on a deeper level with his people.
If Mr Obi had been smart enough to learn and understand Yoruba, most Yoruba will not be seeing him today as an outsider. This is where most of my Igbo friends trump Obi, they speak Yoruba fluently today as proof that they have lived in Yorubaland.

The Yoruba know that Mr Obi holds the Yoruba and Yoruba language in disdain and that is why after living for decades in Yorubaland, he can not speak Yoruba and missed the opportunity.

Mr Obi is not different from another native Igboman who has never even stepped foot in Yorubaland. He is not smart to have ignored learning how to speak, read and write Yoruba. He is not smart at all. Today, he should be campaigning in Yoruba in SW, Igbo in SE and Datti helping him campaign in Hausa in the North.
I once watched Oshiomhole campaign in Yoruba in Osun state and I watched Phillip Shuabu campaign in Yoruba in the Yoruba-speaking part of Edo state during the last Edo governorship election which he won.

Go and check all the rallies done by candidates when they are in state that has larger language they speak to them in that language then the M.C translate to English again
When obi came to Gombe it was is vp that speck to us in Hausa,fulani and tera language for us before obi speak for just 2min because the people did not pay attention to him because he is speaking English to them then the MC translate everything back to English language again
