Klington:


I thought they said Lagos is mega cosmopolitan City

These sophisticated m0r0ns don't even know where and when to stop.

lexylaw40:
Yes it's the same in other countries , Local language and English is what its used in train announcements worldwide.

oyatz:
How does using the indigenous language of the people harm you?
If you don't want Yoruba people to speak their Language in their land, it is best you move to another State.


Cosmopolitan nature does NOT translate to abrogation of the cultural identity and heritage of the State.

oyatz:
How does people promoting their indigenous Language in their land affect you?

If you don't understand Yoruba,then listen to the English version of the announcement.

You can NOT move into Yorubaland and trying to stop Yoruba people from speaking Yoruba in Yorubaland.
You can stop speaking your language, but Yorubas will NEVER stop speaking their language.

Millimann:
They should hurry up and add yoruba language there so that the uneducated people would not fumble when they enter a train.

Acidosis:
I think it's a great idea. Some Nigerians are just too f00lish to understand our common enemy. We will continue to blame one another (Igbos versus Yoruba) until globalisation (English) wipes out our indigenous languages.

The idea is more of a resistant to the disadvantages of globalisation than anything else. Many Igbos in Lagos already learnt the language in order to do business. So this certainly would not be a threat. It's more of a threat to the English speakers, including Yoruba people who do not understand their indigenous language.

FuckDModz:
Look at this slowpoke. You're a Nigerian. The Nigerian lingua franca is English.

But then again, most yorubas are morons. Enjoy!

Kingcalls:
Do they announce time arrival and departure in yoruba at the lagos Airport... these guys are too tribalistic

hammerFC:
HOW ABOUT CALLING A REFERENDUM TO SEE WHO REALLY WANT ONE NIGERIA.

DO U THINK THAT IS ALSO A GREAT IDEA?

hammerFC:
I SPEAK YORUBA BUT IT DONT MAKE ME YORUBA.

THEY SHOULD SPREAD THE LANGUAGE SO EVERYBODY WILL LEARN IT, THEN , WHEN THEY ARE TALKING, WE WILL ALL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.


HOWEVER, WHEN WE SPEAK OUR OWN, THEM NO GO HEAR.


FOOLS!

Acidosis:
Yes. It is also a great idea.

minakom:
What has Lagos got to do with Nigeria abi se ode ni e ni

PrinceOfLagos:
LAMATA didn't add Yoruba language because it's totally unnecessary

hammerFC:
IF U LIKE NAME EVERY STREET YORUBA.


SPEAK YORUBA TILL YOU ARE BLUE IN THE FACE.


THE BEST YOU WILL ACHIEVE IS EVERYBODY BORN THERE, KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND EVEN SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE TO DECIEVE YOU.



IT WONT MAKE THEM YORUBA AND YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY SAY, WHEN THEY SPEAK THEIR OWN NATIVE LANGUAGE.


YOU STILL REMAIN THE BIGGEST LOSER.

Pwettylinda:


Yoruba people have started dividing the one Nigeria they are always romancing and cuddling

Omodua:
See this fella who came to appropriate the political heritage of Lagos in the name of Oduduwa.

Are you original Lagos protégy? No! A torncoat Lagosian!

oyatz:
We aren't interested in whatever you speak but we are interested in promoting our language.

IamPlato:
...

Add Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa to the announcement.

That is a balance because Lagos is a state that has all the tribes living inside of it

hammerFC:
WE ARE TIRED OF ALL THIS PUBLIC SHOW OF XENOPHOBIA.


CAN U POSSIBLY GO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND DEMAND NONE YORUBA IN LAGOS REGISTER FOR RESIDENCY PERMIT AND START DEPORTING THEM?


TINUBU IS PRESIDENT, SO U WONT SAY ANYBODY IS STOPPING YOU.


REMEMBER ONE THING, YOUR PEOPLE ARE THE WORST SET OF UNITY BEGGARS , SHOUTING ONE NIGERIA.


THE REST OF US, ACTUALLY NONCHALANT, THAT IS WHY WE CAN SIT HERE AND LAUGH AT YOU.


WE ACTUALLY DONT MIND IF NIGERIA COLLAPSE.


WE WANT EVERYBODY TO GO THEIR OWN WAY.


LET THAT SINK INTO YOUR HEAD.


U ARE DEALING WITH PEOPLE THAT DONT WANT NIGERIA.

oyatz:
Our interests is our concerns (in this matter, it is speaking our indigenous language) ,in as much as it is within the armbits of the laws.

What you want is your business ,not ours.

Advancedman:
Only the local language and general language is the standard.
If we go by your submission then we will have edo,ikwerre, effik, etc.

Xscape1993:
Nigeria my country. Must we attach tribal sentiment to everything? Instead of initiating good policies and programs that will transform the lives of the local people, they are going after less important issues.

Pwettylinda:


Yoruba people have started dividing the one Nigeria they are always romancing and cuddling

hammerFC:
INSIDE TRAIN, WHO ARE U COMMUNICATING WITH, WHO HAS THAT TIME.


WHEN YOU ENTER SIT DOWN, WATCH YOUR PHONE OR NEWSPAPER OR CHATTING, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU ARE AT YOUR DESTINATION.


OK BEAUTIFICATION!

christejames:
Lagos is a supposed 'Cosmopolitan city' for Christsake ...

I'm not against using Yoruba as part of the train public announcements but the way some 'ronu advocates' are pushing this agenda of 'Yoruba first' in everything (for a supposed 'Cosmopolitan City) will at the long run harm the innocent Omoluabis who wish to live in harmony with other nationalities from the country and across the world
