Let them force, they will learn alll people are not the same.

some cannot learn it no matter wat u do.


besides the gov in public school will be paying somebody for this so that is a positive at least it is not all a waste of time.

what will happen to a child who just came to Lagos from the north or east of the country and wants to gain admission into jss1?

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.

You want t sound POSH but your logic is below average. Learning a language, your native language for that matter, will make you unexposed! Where on earth did you all unearth this irrational line of thought. Wole Soyinka understands (speaks and write) Yoruba perfectly, yet he isn't unexposed. How unexposed is Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, JP Clark, Amos Tutuola, Hubert Ogunde, Buchi Emecheta and many others who project their craft through the lens of their culture?

Learning to speak English doesn't make you intelligent. Neither does it make you Literate or exposed. When you think in your native language, your assimilation and intellectual capacity become excellent.

Stop making a clown of yourself, please.

lol in lagos right?


u don chop?

CyrusVI:
This is a flex to the individuals involved but it doesnt help the tribes/ethnic groups they come from


Why do colonial masters care more about forcing you to speak their Language?

It helps preserve theirs and also help swallow yours


I would rather have the whole country to be Yorubanize than vice versa

Nobody forces me 2 speak english





Rest

Any thing useful that u can learn including english makes u intelygent

Bliss4Lyfe:
Which native?

The people dat have told u to leave them out of your yoruba bigot agenda?


They dont identitfy as Yoruba.

Lol. So, those people are Chinese or Russians.

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.

anything else ib0 beggers

Bliss4Lyfe:
it already happened.


i want igbo people to learn how to take native names once they move into the area, and with the language, u are unstoppable.



that is wat fulani do.

Some Igbos born in the SW bare Yoruba names, I know a few, you are right that's what the Fulani did to the hausa of northern Nigeria and today hausa is just a name in Nigeria.

For government schools. Many people have their children in private schools.

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...

you're ibo begger, you're not indigenous to Lagos State so you don't have a say here in Lagos State.

this pain is so severe, you better eat the humble pie and learn your master language or go back home and continue with that your cavemen language that sound like wild animals talking in the jungle😂😂😂

Any where you go take their name and learn their language.


Same person speaking their language will occupy any office



They are bigots, make a fool out of them

43Ronin:
They are the most racist & tribalistic people on the planet. They are worse than south-africans. In fact,The only reason dey cannot kill like south-africans is because the southern states surrounding them Gallant. You can imagine LASG built with the wealth of Nigerdelta & the revenue of non-yorubas is making it compulsory to learn yoruba before you enter their secondary school. The only reason they love Nigeria is because they steal from the state and accumulate wealth. If they had d qty of refinable oil that south-east has(not even nigerdelta) these guys won't employ any non-yoruba. Imagine if dey do this to students, how about the thousands of non-yorubas teaching in theses state schools

Omo!! All these bitterness because a state government want to deeply integrate her ancestral value into her own education system.

They don't force you to learn the language. If you can't take the rule, send your children to schools in nearby ogun state or better still, move to where imported language is elevated over the native language.

If I was in the East, North or South, I will find no problem learning their language.

I wonder how you want to survive living with people whose language, culture, food, identity, lifestyles you detest. Move out before you are subsumed by hatred, biles and bitterness that you spread everywhere you go.

For the poor

this is wat we should be doing, some of us already doing it long time ago.


Who loses certainly not us.

yoruba will beg us not to learn yoruba or speak it wen e set.


now trouble dey sleep yanga go wake am up.

Yemisi bode, speaking yoruba...

make una help dem add yoruba name join the language. u learn.

Hausa dont know which is Fulani but the Fulani knows he is a fulani regardless of the name or language adopted.


Yoruba dont want the truth, u sef make sure u collect your share of the benefit from the lie.


U know your ethnic group but they dont know wen u answer their name and speak their language.

Lol. Igbos have been speaking Yoruba in Lagos before you came to Lagos from Ogbomosho. Thats the language qe use to do BUSINESS and buyer land from OMONILES in Lagos.

Lol.

You mean "beggers' that have bought up your ancestral lands in Lagos?

Thats a wonderful begger. Turning OMONILES to their Tenants.

Mr and Mrs Yekini and Yemisi Bode, knacking yoruba with Asooke.

u bring come, na u go still run.

musicwriter:
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!!

you're ibo. Heck, I took you for a Yoruba person. Whoa.
