I am for that too

We need to start proper sensitization of the people, reeach out to relevant stakeholders and press on peaceful ways. Pls, the hatred among the ethnic groups is much to avoid genocide or war. The last election was an eye opener.
I am talking about people with honest interest in saving humanity from disaster. Nigerians can modify the British govt system where regions can willing decide on which region to belong to. People should decide on where to belong to.

knowing yoruba changes nothing, people born and raised in lagos, already know yoruba.


this is just many of the retarded move APC use to fool yoruba bigots

They use it to feed the bigots lols

They can't even have secrets again, they can't even communicate and pass information without others being aware of what they are saying.

I can go in their midst and speak Yoruba whereby I can claim whatever I want to claim.

When they eventually come to Igbo land they will be confused because we are not even interested in teaching them the language.

This is what hate can do to an average bigot 🤣🤣🤣

Well, it should be optional. Lagos is a cosmopolitan state and any new bills and act should always put that into consideration. Our local languages are dying and incorporating them more and more into the fabrics of our educational system should be applauded. Unfortunately, this new act is coming from a place of animosity

AfonjaConehead:
Please whenever education is being talked about, kindly desist from spreading illiteracy by keeping quiet,thanks.

And what is illiteracy about one's local language? Yoruba language studies is in universities in the US but you don't want us the native speakers to engage our children in it in schools.

I see that bitterness is making you think trash.

Amaka is an old lady when she travelled abroad. She is just like me and you.

Do you agree we have lot of Yoruba/Igbos abroad that can’t even speak their language and don’t know much about your culture and tradition.

If you stay abroad you’ll understand me. In that same Lagos, there are igbos that don’t speak Igbo but speak/understand Yoruba. You want to tell me that won’t have an influence on them?

Ok u tell us the influence you want it to have on them because so far, in my case absolutely none.


A city is not your village, people will not speak tribal language when they are not required to do so. ''


English is stil the national language.

Macphenson:
This is quite funny. A whole lot of Igbo people learnt yoruba language years ago before these funny power grabbers came to be. We learnt it because it helped us in our businesses and communicating better not because any bigot or power grabber persuaded us to.

Even before I came to Lagos, some of my kinsmen when they come back for xmas, speak Yoruba fluently in the vliiage. Trust me Igbo kids will speak both Yoruba and Igbo fluently, obviously having advantage anywhere amongst their pars. They will always excel EVEN in Lagos.

Thank God also this is limited to the dilapidated low standard, low quality Public schools. Private Schools to the rescue for other non speaking Yorubas.

Imagine an Indian, German, American or Hausa child being told to speak Yoruba before they will access education in a state the Lingual Franca is English, they will dump the already shitty public schools for quality education in Private Schools

Private schools to the rescue. Shitty Public schools for Shukura, Ayomide, Basira, Oluti, Rukka etc.

Yoruba people are asking students studying in Yorubaland to be tested in Yoruba language but you're here crying hot tears over Yoruba affairs.

What manner of obsession is this? Is your survival dependent on the Yorubas?

Lagos is a Yoruba state. If you don't like it. you can leave.

Racoon:
From official point of view, the English language is Nigeria's lingual franca. Imagine if the children of Lagos are now being subjected into rhe same harsh treatment by other 370+ ethnic groups across Nigeria?

What's harsh about learning a language? There are 36 states in Nigeria. If you are not comfortable with our new development in Lagos . Send your kids to neighbouring states or other states .

LegendHero:
Now all non-Yoruba kids living in Lagos must learn Yoruba and be tested in an exam to evaluate them.

Sanwoolu took Lagos is no man’s land delusion by those guys to another level.



So Lagos is your template for one Nigeria? Is Igbo not required by student in South East states? So why must Yorubaland own be different?

Anambra is so clannish they openly call for state recruitment of only Anambra indigenes but you’re here preaching to Lagos on how to govern because of one Nigeria.

are you minding this fools

Lagos is no mans land.


How can it be yorub aland when the natives say they are not Yoruba?


All the governors are from Osun, Ondo, Ogun state

Which native of Lagos admit to be yoruba?

Awori, Ijebu, Egun and the Brazilian returnee

Wickedfact:
We sell our land to Okeke, we use the money to call Wasiu and party.
When the money finish, we demolish your house and sell the land to Okafor.
We use the money for Ojude Oba.
When the money finish, we call nwosu developer to build plaza and we sell shops to Nwa boy.
Once money finish, we throw fire inside the plaza and demolish. We turn am to market.

You are hopeless fools without sense and we will keep playing you.

Oga rest...lol

You go open mouth dey talk rubbish

See your yeye logic....all these things are happening and there are still thousands of buildings being owned by Igbos.

Dull brain

I support 100%

I wish my sister in law was still in secondary school.
She need to learn the lingo...

And u dont think Amak will teach her children or her children will learn from her? stop decieving urself. The Igbo blood is very thick.

I'm a Lagosian by birth and was raised there.


Igbo Lagosian

Lagos is no mans land.




We no go agree.



we built Lagos.

Some retard born and raised in Ogun State cannot come and be telling me about Lagos.


U will learn about Lagos from me.

Rubbish 😔 won't waste time on this

I only blame the foreigners still investing in Lagos, one day they would collect everything because you can't speak the language

People moving to Lagos from other places should prepare to integrate to our culture and communicate effectively in local language. "When you are in Rome, you do like Romans"

I am sure you don't even believe the bolded. Yoruba is still more thicker than any other ethnic group in the South.

Track it abroad, Yoruba tend to speak their language and practice their culture more openly,.

See the real owner of Lagos here, non admit to be yoruba



Awori, Egun, Ijebu, Bini and the Brazilian returnees.




I think the ijaws claim riverine parts with illaje etc.

Mama and Papa Chinedu, stop complaining about this! If you're not comfortable with our beautiful policy, you can take your children back to your village. This is our land and these are our policies. You are free to relocate back to Alaigbo if it becomes too much for you! We won't consider you when making our laws, as you're irrelevant!

You want to continue to enjoy all the opportunities- the goodies and sweetness - that our land offers,then you must love our culture, our language,our ways of live
and you must think the way we think! If you can't do this,you know the way to your village. Even if you don't want to go back there,we will send you back to those demons you're running away from! It's a promise!

Just note it down;a time is coming when you idiots from that land of primitive, forest-dwelling ancestors will have to adopt Yoruba names before you can do anything in any part of our land - from Lagos down to Ekiti state. We will ensure that as well, it's just around the corner. Se l'ori iyalaya yin o pe ni!

Even Tinubu claiming Lord of Lagos is not from Lagos, may not even be a Nigerian with the way he keep running after French and the rumour that he is from Guinea Bissua.



As of today he is claiming Irabiji Osun state.


Ambode na Ondo state man.


Sanwolu is from Ogun State.


None of them are Lagosians.

And wen we say Lagos is a no mans land they get jealous that we want inclusion

CyrusVI:


The best time to do this was in 1999 and the best second time is now

The Yorubaness of Lagos should be more emboldened in all spheres

God bless LASG

We want to see more of this

Sebi na Tinubu dey form Mr liberal. I am just happy that Sanwo Olu is completing is 8 years in 2027. The current speaker Mudashiru Obasa or Tokunbo Wahab won't be bad at all

Emekankwoka:
I think we have 250 languages in nigeria?
I think we heard National conference and sovereign National conference?.
All of us must be careful in this Nigeria because Lagos population is 70% strangers.
If you people want to quietly divide this country,we are 100%ready and waiting for you people.This New imposition of another language to people with another language is anty people.And also a bad move to deny people their human rights...

Then, all you have to do is implement the same policy in Igbo land.

And I am an Igbo man. My junior sister sat for Yoruba language during her WAEC, I encouraged her to do so. Today she's enjoying the benefits. She's well grounded in Igbo language too but could pass off as Yoruba

Funny enough, there are other Nigerian ethnic nations on Nairaland and I haven't seen them complaining, except Igbos.

Yet, we said we want Biafra but complaining against a clear strategy to hasten it. Note that we're not going to get it by noise making. Open your eyes. This is how to get it!!

Clowns! In an increasingly complex world where people learn skills and languages to become sophisticated, some people are more interested in showing a sense of control by imposing a language on their enclave.

Someone should help me tell them that there are more private schools than public schools in Lagos and most Igbos and foreigners attend good private schools. Yoruba migrants from Osun, oyo etc are the ones who attend public schools the most. You can teach them your Yoruba language all you want but remember it'll end up making them unexposed while the Igbos who attend private schools will become enlightened because of their exposure to people of different backgrounds and languages. You are creating apartheid against yourselves.

Ever since conservatives descended on Sanwoolu, his brain don reset.
