cheesy

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
Yet Yoruba will not win Lagos in presidential election.

Infact Jagaban didn't win Lagos,Abuja,Kano and Rivers state.

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?
Boy, nobody care about your view, talk more of the 'official'. undecided

Whats the harsh treatment in learning a language of a place you're residing? Why do people learn French, Spanish, German when going to those places?

Lingua franca kor undecided

Una go just come online dey reason anyhow.

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.

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.

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.
do people really attend public schools in Lagos?

You won’t know, but it will shape your thinking.

When you teach kids Yoruba history at their young age, it play on their psyche and they tend to behave differently from those that grow up in other places.

If you go to Igboland today, you will think differently and your approach to things will be somehow different from people who spent their life in Enugu. You might not know it, but people will tell you themselves.
Growing up, this had a significant impact on me. People often assumed I was Yoruba because I had assimilated into Yoruba culture from a young age, spending most of my time with Yoruba friends and their families. Now, approaching 30, the majority of the music on my phone is by core Yoruba artists. When my dad sent me to my home state for university, my Igbo coursemates and friends initially thought I was Yoruba until they got to know me better and realized neither of my parents are Yoruba. It creates a challenging situation because when I’m with either tribe and they speak negatively about the other tribe, my perspective is usually different, and expressing it can make me seem untrustworthy. Despite this, it’s a great feeling to be able to speak and understand both languages well, and to blend in seamlessly no matter where I am.

Exactly, no matter what, it shape people when you look at the average.

A Yoruba boy that grow up in Warri for example, know the language, assimilated will have a different outlook to a Yoruba boy that grow up in Ibadan.

Take poko lee for example, I used to think the guy is Yoruba until I later found out he is Igbo. Everything about Poko scream Yoruba even tho he is fully Igbo.

Its a normal human social science kinda stuffs

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
As it happens, I went to a primary school with two Indian girls, one of them spoke better Yoruba than the whole class, the other one spoke better Yoruba than the ajebóta's in the class.

The area I was brought up in, every single child, Hausa, Ghanaian and Igbo spoke Yoruba fluently.

I think the policy is great, same as the Yoruba document policies of the state government and Yoruba only days in the State House. And this is from a state that some from yonder will tell us isn't Yorubaland, hmm.

The sooner other states adopt it the better, local languages need to live on.

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.
grin chest beater, you better take a trip to most public schools in Lagos and see the multitude of your Okoro children and some are even teachers in those public schools grin

Keep telling yourself that lie if it makes you happy grin you left your cursed region to Lagos yorubaland but you are sad they are implementing policies to protect there culture and heritage grin does a Yorubaman gives a f*ck about what is happening in your cursed region when your governors bring up policies? If you are not happy with the News you can relocate back to your region, you won’t be missed grin

One of the best ways to take over another persons land is to learn have that one thing that binds them together and that one thing is language, that way they won't be able to hide anything anymore..... facts check every conquest starts from the inside through someone who knows the land.....it has been written that an Igbo blood will rule that Lagos and every other land in the SW.
grin you are just a clown, most people in the world speak English, so have they taken over UK or USA from the Caucasians? Our music is already a global brand and mostly infused with Yoruba land but your ibo land is not popular outside sad yeast and we are being told in some years time it will go extinct, you should worry about that grin

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 schoolshuh
grin pained Okoro chest beater, which oil are you talking about? I guess you meant palm oil grin Ondo state alone produces more oil than the 2 cup of palm oil you are boasting of….sad yeast is a barren land and it contributes the least to revenue generation grin you are bunch of parasites, you should thankful for one Nigeria or else, you savages would have been worse than Somalia😂😂
