Lagos Yoruba is Oyo Yoruba with some dialectic modifications
All languages have their standard variety while their various dialects remain local. Standard Yoruba is for all while various dialects remain in their local domains.

Wake up and learn, all the movies I mentioned were produced by YORUBAS. Wedding party and king of boys is produced & directed by Kemi Adetiba, October 1st, Phone Swap, CEO, Figurine etc. by Kunle Afolayan, 30 days in Atlanta by AY, Omo getho by Funke Akindele, etc. And besides, what do you mean by Nollywood?😂😂😂 You are not informed at all. In Nigeria, there are Nollywood and Kannywood. So most actor/actress are Nollywood. However, some of them are either acting in Igbo or Yoruba, or Igbo/English or Yoruba/English or both. Like wise in Kannywood, the Hausa version.
1. Wedding Party is produced by Inkblot.

2. Inkblot Productions is a film production company founded in 2010 by Naz Onuzo, Zulumoke Oyibo, Damola Ademola and Omotayo Adeola. Inkblot Productions produced The Wedding Party.

3. Naz Onuzo is an IGBO man. Therefore Wedding Party is a mix of Igbo, Edo and Yoruba. Stop claiming the intellectual property that belongs to other tribes and calling it Yoruba. Are you a thief.

The quick to respond "I don't understand Yoruba " crew just got served. Even forms and job interviews in Lagos will be conducted in Yoruba and Egun. Incentives will be given to organisations that adapt to this current reality.

Also, the Yoruba parents and woke will know the meaning of "Yoruba dun" wink

This is LASG helping them and their parents by teaching them the education most of them missed at home. Odun joor! like Radio Lagos 107.5 FM will scream in its jingle.

If you want to be part of the modern Lagos, learn Yoruba. If you are not ready to learn the language, stay back in your village, it's not by force . After all, you can still make it in your village.

The secret behind our success in Lagos is in our Yoruba culture and language, it encodes the spirit of Omoluabi, if you want to succeed in Lagos, go and learn Yoruba.
There is no Badagry indigene who will not understand Yoruba because they're an eya of Yoruba.

Those who hate the Yoruba and forming "I have been in Yorubaland for donkey years" , but can't speak Yoruba are plainly ignorant people. You can not spend years in a place and don't understand the language of your
host anywhere in the world unless you hate your host. I was thoroughly embarrassed when I watched a Mr Obi who has been in Lagos for decades use Prof Pat Utomi as his interpreter for Yoruba Language ,I knew immediately that he isn't serious about getting people to know him. It was the ignorance of Mr Obi displayed in public view. There is no way I can spend that long in Igboland and not speak Igbo.

This policy will help us know those who have mixed ignorance with hatred for the Yoruba their host.

Learn Yoruba and if you can't, no problem, just know that No Yoruba, no Lagos life for you
niyen. If you spend donkey years in Lagos and have mastered Yoruba, it will help you when you return to the village in your retirement because you will see Yoruba corps, Police etc posted to your village and they will appreciate your village more because of you they found there to speak Yoruba with. The other villagers will be envious of you and wish they have your clout.

We don't hate you, we just want those who love us and respect our culture to flourish in our land while those who hate us can stay back in their villages. The sky is big enough!
God bless Lagos state and Nigeria for ever!

Hope the youths you are sending to other regions to serve their father land will also speak in their host's dialect?

These movies U listed are not Yoruba movies. They are Nollywood. The main star in Wedding Party is Edo so how is that a Yoruba movie.

They are Yoruba movies that speak Yoruba dialect. Talk of those ones not movies directed by Yoruba man and produced by Igbo man.
The main star is half Edo half Yoruba.Get it right

I expect Nigerdelta to follow suit, no oil company jobs if you cannot speak ikwere or ijaw. Let all the yorubas occupying the oil industry go to their state and speak Yoruba
So there are Yorubas in oil companies there?
Here I was thinking we yorubas no dey travel o and the ones that manage to travel are dirty Agbo sellers and tailors.😀😀😀😀😁😂

I kinda like this.

We must make sure Yoruba become the second official language in the South as a whole.

Ever since I watched the Netflix documentary “Bigger than Africa”, I just suddenly got this extreme proudness in me for being a Yoruba man.

Afro beat language is already Yoruba, why can’t the whole Southern Nigeria adopt Yoruba as the second official language?
Shakey shakey daddy is afraid to say the whole Nigeria cos of his Hausa Fulani masters grin grin grin

That’s correct. All state must follow suit.

But in the South, we need an official language just as the North where Hausa is spoken across the entire 19 Northern states.

I have a proposal of adopting Yoruba as the official language of the South. What do you think?
kogi, benue, kwara doesn't speak hausa
