This doesn't concern the hos it's a misplaced priority.
The abomination should just call for few heads to fall, simple.
The global standard practice is the local and general lingual.
This is why I hate the way our leaders operate things that have been cater for already they will always generate another ministry out of it.
Also quiet irrelevant matters they make it public as if is their priority to just cause tension.
I am seriously pissed.

Don't mind them, I don't know why they are pained about using the local dialect, I'm also in Cardiff even their Buses are using both English and Welsh, Igbo people have problem for real.

Language is for communication and part of culture of the people.

In the UK, announcements at train Stations are made in English and local languages of the City e.g In Cardiff, announcements are made in English & Welsh.

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.
Divide and Loot politics cheesy

APC hides behind tribalism to steal the future of their stupid followers and slaves - you can see how the fools are giving kudos to their own oppressors all because of tribal sentiment

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

But then again, most yorubas are morons. Enjoy!
Most Nigerians speak their indigenous languages than the Colonial language, English.

Despite all your 'Englishism',if you want to travel out, you will still be asked to write IELTS and most people like you spend a lot of time and money to write it five times before passing it!


At Enugu Airport, announcements are made in English and Igbo languages.


Languages are for communication and are parts of the cultural heritages of the People/State.

If you have problems with Yoruba people speaking Yoruba language in Yorubaland, it is better you relocate to another State.

[quote author=Omodua you are just saying nonsense, so because other tribes has a large population in Lagos, so does that take away the fact that Lagos is a Yoruba land?why not focus on your state of originpost=125761896]Kehinde Joseph is intoxicated with his election into the House.

How could he push for Yoruba as one of the languages for announcement in a cosmopolitan city like Lagos. How about other Major ethnic groups like Hausa and Igbo that have larger population in that city?

He should be reminded that this ethnic stunt is what killed Warri and her development. It's now virtually a ghost town.

The Law Maker should concentrate on issues that impact positively on his constituents and not this ethnic and tribally based issues.[/quote]

Kingosytex:
One thing I love about the Yorubas and Hausas is their love for their language.
Most Igbos don't value the language, many even scold their children for speaking the language and its very laughable.
How can one think his language is inferior? You are teaching your children/wards English while yours is fading into oblivion and you have no problem with that.
Over 70% of the Igbos can't converse in the language for 5 minutes without 'and, the, but, guy, and a whole lot of others' but a Yoruba can speak for hours without any trace of 'but, and'.
Sụọ asụsụ Igbo, Igbo amaka!
you knew all these under a Brownroof?

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
That cannot happen,only Yoruba and English will be used ,if you want Igbo and Hausa tell your governor to build light rail in your state
