If you don't protect ypur language, who will. Parents are not helping matters by speaking English at home. A proverb says if birds have learnt to fly without perching then hunters will learn to shoot without missing. So the response to the parents is to make local languages compulsory in schools. It is actually better to make them the language of instruction while English is just a subject. That is the ideal thing. History is also important because if you don't study history, you will not learn from it.

Thank you. Other languages including Oyinbo, Asians and others are preserved yet some clowns are ashamed of their own root and language. My homeland is my homeland!

ChiefJusticeFuc:
But when LASG made Yoruba language a mandatory subject to be taught up till secondary school level, a bunch of meddlesome Ibo hags in far away Owerri came out to condemn the state.

Ibo people ehn!


They want you to lose your cultural heritage and become a soulless woke liberal whiile they guard theirs jealously .


They know that individual nationalistic pride by other tribes is the greatest hinderajce to their expansionism into other people's land.

And if u resist, they call you a tribalist and unaccomodative

Kindly tell me the group of people that has come after your culture and had an issue with a host community.

If you are not aware of any at this point then it's not an issue for you, so find a better use of your time as my answer is of no use to you.

I guess you can't answer that question

Good move I love that but those who opposed it when Lagos did it and now here to praise Abia govt may thunder strike your testicles.

Your guess, your personal headache.

As it should be. If no be say to write jamb and waec no go easy for local language. That's the way to go

yommen:
What is tribal political behaviour in making the local language compulsory in public schools in the such state? Our children shouldn't learn our language again? The move by abia state is of course a step in the right direction. Children in the state should learn Igbo which is the local language in the state. We are only surprised that you people condemned the move in SW but praised it in SE. You want to speak your own language but do not want others to speak theirs. That's the real hypocrisy there because you always believe it's only you that matters. Awon wayray!

I never praised anything. I definitely do not agree with any state making a local language compulsory for everyone in the state. Government can promote any language they want, but they shouldn't make anyone compulsory. Most states in Nigeria are multi-ethnic and that must be taken into consideration.

Good - way to go! Same way Yoruba language is compulsory in Lagos State and the entire south west.

Kdon2:
But if na south west now, Ibos will begin to convulse like seizure patient☹️

Exactly! People that doesn't mind their business.

Igbo is the homeland language of Abia. If you are not comfortable with any decision that preserves their identity, go back to your state.

Handling multiethnicity will be addressed as part of diversity training but homeland language must be compulsory. Learning the local language is a critical part of multi-ethnic communities. Simple.

This one no concern human beings. Copy copy

This makes sense.

It make sense now to you but when Lagos state introduced Yoruba language, you and your others online bandits were attacking Sanwo olu. Are some other tribes not schooling in Abia in primary and secondary school. It's very easy but you people exhibit the crying mentality. If the languages are taught, those who are not interested should simply leave the class. For those of us who went to the unity schools, popularly called FGC, HIY an abbreviation of hausa, Igbo and Yoruba languages was introduced as compulsory subjects, you are to choose one and many of us don't even have choice to rather choose one even when we can't hear the languages. Back then I choose to offer the hausa language because I used to like how some students speak the language. Igbos, is not everything you criticize.

Abia State has become a no man's land. We will petition the UN, EU, UNESCO, and other international organizations. They want to oppress and marginalize us, but we will not allow this to stand. This is the voice of IPOB and Obirodent miscreants.

Almunjid:
It's fantastic that the necessary steps are being taken! However, it's a bit puzzling why it took so long for this issue to be addressed. As I mentioned in other threads, the problem of Igbo children in the East struggling with their native language is quite prevalent. In fact, studies have shown that about 50% of Igbo children do not speak the language fluently. The Ohaneze Ndigbo worldwide organization has also raised concerns about the lack of proficiency in Igbo among young Igbo children. It's crucial to prioritize the preservation and promotion of the Igbo language to prevent it from becoming endangered.

Peace!

When Lagos state government introduced Yoruba language to enable the young Yorubas to understand and speak fluently their language, the igbos started attacking Sanwo olu and calling Yorubas tribalistic just because they don't want their language to go into extinction. Now that Otti has also did same, why are the hypocrite quiet now. All they have to say now, it's good. Anyway am not surprised cos Yorubas always leads and others follows.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
No one is disputing that.

Why not just fck off back to it and limit your Biafra to your Ibo enclaves in the SE.

Let my people go, zoogeria!

Kdon2:

They are hypocrite. If they have removed shame and follow Yorubas, they will not be crying marginalization. They hate the truth and they are always mad if another tribe, expecially Yorubas started what they later did. Look at the fools now praising Otti. Anyway Otti has always been a Lagos boy and Asiwaju is his master.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Should I post the response by your fellow IPOB cretins when LASG state assembly passed a law mandating Yoruba language be taught at secondary schools across the state ?

Don't waste your time. They are bunch of fools. Hypocrisy is just too loud on their side. This are among the reasons I don't regard igbos and support them, except i see sensible ones.

MightySparrow:

Loz


See this one .who tie you ?

t2luv1:
Not really. Yoruba had been a subject class in all the SW high schools as far back as I can remember. Why it took the Igbo this long to do this I don't know.

And who told Igbo wasn't a subject class in all the SE high schools in the past? What Otti did was reintroduction of the language and history into school curriculum. Obviously past governments messed up the public school system and reduced funding for some programs and the private has no motivation to teach Igbo in their schools, until recently.

Wickedlywicked:
You warned me? What’s our business with whatever the Osus decide to do with their useless lives?
No Chinedu, we are the westerners, we are not meddlesome people as we are too exposed and sophisticated to be doing such.

why are you taking ownership of what I said, making it look like you matter in the scheme of things in Nigeria. I didn't warn you, I don't care about what you do. I warned about it, so those in leadership will read and take heed.

I'm igbo, from imo state and I was born in Ibadan. I was thought Yoruba language from primary to secondary school. I had F9 in WAEC and C6 in NECO.

The Una dey generalize and insult igbos ehn, nawa

People can you take a chill pill please ain't nobody giving a rat ass over some language okay. Personally, I have other things on my mind like how are my Hurricanes gonna do next season.

But the same animals called igbos were complaining when Lagos did the same

Abia state people chose their governor at the polling booth. The Abia gov knows the importance of mother tongue.
Most of the governors in the southeast are imposed.

What about their children abroad? I am sure they can't speak igbo

You dey mind them 🤣

tj2018:
What about heir kids abroad, who will teach them igbo... yeye dey smell

Feel free to ignore the thread. You don't have to comment.

Who speaking local dialect help?

Nigerian leaders always quick to implement things that will not improve the lives of the citizens. For Christ sake tackle the hunger ravaging the land

Lagos state started it. I warned about that, but now you can see the fruit of South West nationalism. This tribal political behavior always emanate from South West and spread
My darling osu friend, those were your exact words. You said you warned against what Lagos did in what you described as “South West nationalism” (Your olodo self meant “regionalism” but it’s fine)
Osu, I know you aren’t very bright just like every other member of your family and tribe but what you said there is used for someone who’s complaining about or regretting what his previous actions had led to. You said it in such a way that one would think we (the Yorubas and Hausas) are complaining about what Abia did😂😂
Osu, we are not built that way. We no really send una for here because we aren’t meddlesome. This was how you were meddling in the affairs of Lagos, condemning the State govt for demolishing houses but when IMO, Enugu and Anambra states govts did same, your eeeediotic selves went mute. I can remember how one mumu Moghalu was vomiting trash and saying Lagos was bad for investment😂 She, Peter Obi and that ugly pig all suddenly went missing in action when same thing happened in the Eastern States of Imo and Anambra. Una dey mad seh and history proves this because this was the exact same thing Azikiwe was busy doing in the SW instead of facing and helping to develop his backward region.
Then, Sir Ahmadu Bello stood solidly behind his people in the North in a regionalized manner of leadership while Awolowo was doing the same thing in the South West (leader with regionalism mindset just like Bello). It was only the Igbo land that had no regional leadership figure, no bearing and no ambition because Azikiwe who was supposed to head the region was busy wrestling power with Awo in his land (The SW)😂
Can you now see that this incurable madness of yours didn’t start today? It’s an ancestral thing, so please, stop being hard on yourself, it’s not your fault.

Some private schools won't comply and govt won't do anything.
