Icarus99:
such effrontery to say Lagos is a no man’s land
Can we say the same in Onitsha or Aba?
As far as this country is concerned the Yoruba are the most tolerant tribe in the country
We are homely and peace loving unlike these SE folks
The LP party looks more like an Igbo Movement to me I ain’t gonna lie, an average obidient don’t care if PO performs they just want power to come to the east!
We shall be waiting for them on Saturday
Viva Lasgidi

Na those useless woke yoruba ... Mumu yorubas... This shit cants happen in the east lailai... But they are pushing for it in another mans land... Very wicked people

Eriokanmi:
Good man. Someone who would never mince words on his stance on the truth. They say he's not yoruba because he can't speak the language. How many children if thjs generation can speak yoruba? Thuse bogots sponsored to tanish his image cant come out openly to say their children can construct a simple sentence in yoruba.

The head of technical dept in my company is igbo from imo state. None of his children speaks igbo. He married a lady from ogun state. My children are just learning how to speak Yoruba too. The eldest is learning fast..they didn't grow in the midst of my people. GRV isn't someone who wouldn't hide facts about him...his identity is known, schools attended home and abroad are known, family backgrounds are know yet, some sponsored tribalists are saying trash because he can't speak Yoruba.

When some factions of the apc in lagos realised that Desmond Elliot was tipped ahead of their candidate, this issue also came up. They said he didn't grow up here, that he was raised in Jos, that he can't even speak Yoruba. Today, ask Desmond any questions in yoruba, you'd be shocked what you hear

We shall meet at the polls on Saturday. Sanwoolu isn't known in Alimosho,.I maintain.

Speaking the indigenous language is a prerequisite for Lagos leader! Sink that into your brain if you've got any

Youngsage:

Better for someone to learn and then deliver excellently, than to have "know it all's" who know nothing and yet refuse to learn how to achieve simple goals

Isabi4lov:
Abeg make him learn , some that are born and brought up in Lagos are finding it difficult to speak Yoruba .

OneCandleAway:
It's the father's fault.

Mist people use English for communication with their kids nowadays.

He'll definitely work on his yoruba now. But we shouldn't use this as an excuse to not vote GRV. We need a change, we need someone new. We need the Apc structure collapsed in lagos so we can progress further. Lagos generated a lot to still be in this state.

Kagawa10:
Yet can speak Igbo

His English sef na rubbish for someone who claimed to have stayed in abroad

The Brazilian slave descendant who wanna spite the accommodating magnanimous Yoruba host who accommodated his slave ancestor ages ago..

The slave descendant allowed His Ungrateful evil OSU mother to poison his mind against his Yoruba host thus the reason why he was constantly saying gibberish about Yoruba heritage. The nerves! Ipob terrorist!

Buckeyemedia1:
His father is Yoruba, his mother is Igbo, he grew up in the United Kingdom & you want his father to be speaking Yoruba to him @ home?

sreamsense:
Then, it is better for him to go and learn how to speak Yoruba fluently first before coming back to contest. He has failed first prerequsite assignment of governance. You must be able to connect in language and culture of people you want to lead especially grassroot.

What do you expect from a scammer

Oga speak for yourself because I care. Me and over 900,000 people that voted LP in Lagos care, and we are coming again on Saturday

You should be more concerned about election going on in your imo/Anambra than forcing someone who can not speak yorubas to his people. Why did he hire Yoruba teacher if himself has not realized that deficiency? But he can't be learning and still be leading people at the same time. He should have learnt that long time ago, he should go and learn Yoruba first before comming back to contest because it is the first prerequsite of identity to his people.

Tell me one governor in South west who can not speak Yoruba. They use Yoruba to communicate to their people because they know how important it is even Adeleke speak fluent Yoruba to his grassroot people. Have you ever noticed when Tinubu was campaigning, once he enters anywhere in South west; he began to speak Yoruba because he understands his people. For the fact that your own culture is fast loosing its identity doesn't meant Yoruba language should go into extinction like your own. It is your choice not to teach your children Igbo language, you don't enforce your choice on others because it doesn't work like that in Yoruba land.

There are many people raising their children in USA, London and other foreign countries and yet they teach their children how to communicate fluently in yorubas. So, far he has identified that gap himself, he should step aside; go and learn Yoruba first so he can communicate to grassroot and identify with culture of whom he want to lead because he can't promote a culture he doesn't understand as governor.

He can't even win, because many yorubas that voted for obi/LP because of Affenifere, some Yoruba artists, obasanjo and more will not be supporting him at governorship level. Igbo alone can't make him governor, it is not possible, just another wasted effort loading

Awesome!

I listened to the programme and he said he understands and speak a little but he is learning the Yoruba and Ifa both as language and a source of spirituality and culture.

This is fantastic! You can see his eyes lighting up with passion when he was talking about the Ifa!!

Okay; how many kids in Nigeria now especially in cosmopolitan Lagos that can speak vernaculars? If you look at the schools he attended from primary to secondary, I doubt it vernacular were allowed to be spoken there.

My uncle who attended Eko Boys high school around Mushin Olosa axis recently told me that they never allowed them to speak vernacular at school during his time. He only learned Yoruba because he was staying with a relative at Olorunsogo/Challenge area.

It may interest you to know that Mr. Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki although a scion of a prominent Edo clan does not speak Bini fluently but the good people of Edo have not held that against him. They are only after good governance and they will rate him based on his performance and not on his Bini language proficiency.

Non proficiency in Yoruba Langauge would not hinder his work in anyway. Tinubu with his mastery of Yoruba language has only used the skills to defraud the people and impoverished them.

As i always say, Urchin business no be work and bigotry is for the ill-informed.

Ablemed:


How would you be born and brought up in a wildly yoruba speaking land and find it difficult speaking Yoruba?? spare me abeg

oyin44:
Don't mind the idiot ..


It was that hatred he had in his heart against the Yoruba that stopped him from learning the language. .


it is now that the language is important to him...ba?

Sebi his people believe that Lagos is no man's land...ok we shall see

Yes. When he's in school, he'll speak English.

Couples from different tribes should endeavour to speak their dialect to their children.

Daddy should speak Yoruba.
Mum should speak Igbo.

The children will pick up English speaking in school and other social gatherings.

Children at tender ages have the GOD given ability to pick up many languages, which many parents aren't aware of.

I read the post of a lady whose fiancé was biracial. I think daddy was English, mum Arab and they had a Spanish nanny. The guy can speak three languages because these languages were spoken to him.

His dad spoke English to him.
His mum spoke Arabic to him.
His nanny spoke Spanish to him.

Now, he's a polyglot and this made him land an international job.

So, I see no reason why parents of different tribe or race can't speak their language to their children.
