You are supporting Kanu in your place but you want diversity in Lagos. You think you are smart.

If you want to implement diversity, go to your state and implement it there.

There are yorubas in the south east enjoying their careers and lives there.

Lagos is a metropolitan state and must recognise its diversity.

Yoruba Language Lokan

Misplaced priority

You translate your own language into another language. This way you'll enjoy the first-hand experience in the original language.

Once you've used Chat-GTP you'll be translating English to Yoruba, so it means that Yoruba won't have first-hand experience in the original language which would be Chat-GTP.

Just in case you don't understand, it's from the first language a translation is done that holds the REAL meaning of what the author truly said, not the interpretation.

This is why if you want to study certain subjects in the West, they'll recommend that you pass through a course in Greek or Latin or other ancient languages so that you can make your own judgement of ancient text, example; the first Bible writing in Greek or Latin.

I just finished reading the book: Sapiens by Yuval Noah but the book was originally written in the author's language which is Jewish. What I read is the English translation, and no matter how much I understand English, I can't appreciate the emotions in the mind of the author. But a Jew who reads the book in the original Hebrew language would be able to do that because he/she would be reading him/herself.

Go ahead and do the transition with your own Yoruba mind so that you'll be the Alpha and Omega of your own meaning!! What else shall I do to help my people understand the danger of speaking someone else language?

Their brain don dey reset. My secondary school was in Lagos, and our school anthem is in yoruba language.

Great idea. Language is key to keeping and deepening the identity of a people! You lose and cease to use your language and your identity is gone. The Chinese know so! So also the Japanese! One big reason their ways remain largely original!

e pain this one

DelilahMakinde:
Please how is this news ?

Lagos state is in the south west which is Yoruba land.

What were you expecting them to translate it to ... Romanian ?

Valeur:
Not smart.. Many Igbos understand Yoruba more than many Gen Z Yorubas.

If tribalism is the aim, it'll backfire

Wetin concern ibos with the news. Must you insert ibos into Yoruba's affairs. They don't even share border with Yoruba.

If the ibos understand Yoruba, that's their problem. It's only helping to make the language stronger which is the aim of the development.

u go cry taya , diversity khee ya generation

jaxxy:
These are all unnecessary if u ask me. We are trying to deny the diversity on which lagos state was built and thrives.

Anambra can not employ Enugu and Imo workers but Lagos translating its laws into Yoruba is your problem. You are an hypocrite.

The diversity of the Lagos means that the Yoruba owners own the land and economic migrants must stay where the owners have designated them to stay.

So because london is diverse, they should stop speaking English, their mother tongue?

Some of una nor dey think before you type.

TRIBALIST people . No CHANCE for CHINEDU OBIDIENT to drag Lagos with una in 2027 .Helinues, Christlike01,,una wehdone

gr8child:
An interesting question is whether people who cannot read in English ever learnt to read in Yoruba?

Yes. My maternal grandmother can read Yoruba extremely well. But can't read English.

Heck, her bible is 100% Yoruba.

The folks you are talking about in Igbo land blend. I use to live in Owerri myself. I am Yoruba. I picked up the language and got to love the cuisine. I never was rude, crude or insulted my Igbo friends and neighbour. When I was to relocate to SW my Igbo couple neighbour asked to see me in their flat on a Saturday afternoon. It turned out to be a feast of Yam pounded with Garri as morsel and Ofe Owerri Soup. Never ate that before ! It was so delicious and filling that I slept from about 3pm when I arrived back to my flat until the following day straight! Language is not part of the input needed for diversity. Certain parts of the USA speak so much Spanish you will wonder if America is indeed English speaking! Diversity should not translate to a take over. No Yoruba man in Igbo land -properous and cosmopolitan Aba, for instance has ever laid claim to Aba as "a no man's land". It sure makes no sense to say that. Of course you have Muslims in Europe trying to do a similar thing with the nefarious aim of Islamising Europe. It is ongoing and one hopes Europe wakes up before the circle is closed on them and they get trapped in Islam! So long as the Igbo refuse to blend and persist in saying Lagos is no man's land so long will the Igbo labour in vain in Lagos. The Japanese, The Chinese, The Arabs, Spanish Language speakers et al understand the powerful role language plays in living with an identity. Yoruba Japa who do not speak and bring up their children in the language deserve to be pitied! Their children have lost their identity and cannot be fully healthy mentally. Even USA that gives anyone promising a Green Card have ways of watching you to ensure you are indeed American as you claim! You show tendencies that indicate otherwise you are gone with the wind!

1x2x3:
Nigeria and misplaced priority. Hungry people don't care about laws.

So it should be lawless.

chopnaira:

English is not just for London alone I'm sure u know that? English is a universal language because of colonisation.

English is also widely spoken in Nigeria and lagos state.

Nope diversity mean all tribes must live and enjoy shared Values that make lagos thrive and be what it is.

Lagos is a metropolitan state and must remain so.

Yoruba Bigots should stay clear from state affairs and its prosperous diversity cultural setting. Go to ondo and do ur Bigotry there.

How will gbarebo vivor or Bimbo or Areal Abi wetin be that flat headed guy will read it if by slimlest chance he get a bit house of rep in Lagos 🤣🤣🤣🫣

Golan007:

Hungry people don't obey laws, it's called survival mode.

TheTundeMuniru:
Yeah!

Way to go. The language Yoruba is already being accepted and widely spoken by many around the world.

Yoruba is a strong language like the English, French, Spanish and Portuguese languages. A step in the right direction.

Commendable👏

Your mumu never do 🙄🙄🙄

Provided you can speak Yoruba language and you abide by Yoruba customs and traditions, you'll be fine. If you decide not to, the fear of God will be instilled in you.

Tflex01:
Even your anger won't still change that decision.

And will your wretched life change the decision?

Appletek:
May you never stop crying.


Chinedu, your tears have just started.


The fact that you can swim doesn't make you a fish.

With time, you will be compelled to receive Yoruba tribal marks on your cheeks before being allowed to sell gala in Lagos. Na small remain

what's this??

Imagine an Igbo man telling Yorubas to leave Lagos.

When an online twitter handle asked you to leave Lagos, that's how they're entire Ohaneze and that idiot called Peter Obi was crying.

All I see is FEAR of what does not exist.

I said bigots should stay clear of lagos affairs. It is simple.

Well supported.

PrinceOfLagos:
Is Lagos no longer in South west again? Or is Lagos in Europe ?

What's the big deal in this news abeg

Abeg make una swerve

Shebi you dey claim Prince, why don’t you use your royal highness to revoke the law

Every tribe is represented in lagos as a metropolitan state. I can go to France and choose to communicate in English or yoruba there.

U cannot instill any fear of anything in any Nigerian.
