JudismphD:Buhari is for the whole of Nigeria o! The OP is talking about Lagos! In some part of the North hausa is what they speak in their state House, everyday of the week! |

OrlandoOwoh:I love this. I can imagine the respect those with complete grasp of Yoruba oratory can garner. But you'd notice the assembly marked out only 1 day of the week for the exercise, in order NOT TO fall foul of Section 106 of the Nigerian constitution Subject to the provisions of section 107 of this Constitution, a person shall be qualified for election as a member of a House of Assembly if - (a) he is a citizen of Nigeria; (b) he has attained the age of thirty years; (c) he has been educated up to at least the School Certificate level or its equivalent; and (d) he is a member of a political party and is sponsored by that party. |

They can adopt it once in a week to encourage this generation that is loosing touch of Yoruba language. The whites and the Yeegbos must not make us forget our language while they cherish theirs more than gold |

DeeManD:Hmmm, sorry Sir, I could not see how the section of the constitution justified their one day local language thing? if they made their official conversation to be Yoruba I dont think what you quoted can fight it! The section you quoted only talked about who can contest, and it is good for those ibo politicians in Lagos! But if you are elected and you discorver everybody is speaking the language you can not understand then I dont think the constitution is there to protect you the only solution is for you to go and learn to speak the language! |

Yoruba language should be adopted across the SW. Every defensive impediments should be adopted to preserve and protect indegenous power and influence in our region as it is now clear that we have enemies within our midst. Those who seek to usurp our structure should be made to face difficult barriers. Exactly what our adversaries have deployed to ensure the locals are firmly shut out of certain markets in their own land. |

ibedun:we need to show more dominance in lagos to send message to the flat headed bastards to know that this land called lagos for yoruba |

Even as an Igbo guy I'm totally in support of this proposal. My hope is that it is done nation wide for other Languages, but I also hope that enough effort is also made to protect minority languages. Efforts like *adequate teaching in schools, *encouragement of students to be multilingual in more than one local language, and so on. Wouldn't it be great if most Yoruba and Igbo people in a place like Lagos could speak English, Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa, or Itshekiri, or Edo, or something else. I'm pretty sure with such an arrangement most of all the Yoruba Igbo fueds would die down drastically. But of course it will start by promoting the indegenous language of a state before others follow, and in Lagos this language is Yoruba, so I hope this plan comes to pass quickly. |

sinkhole:Your last paragraph nails it In adopting and learning languages in this great Nigeria, don't you see that the Igbo would have the least problem ? |

needs to be realistic its high time such lang proposal shld be adopted in all house of assemblies to prevent future ocxurence of 'no man's land ' attitude of some selected tribe |

Supported Concentrated Yoruba with thick proverbs should be the language of deliberation in the House of Assembly |

I am Igbo, and certainly i would want to know another language apart from my mother tongue, but what youve mentioned is kinda impossible . I would suggest the compulsory learning of yoruba in primary and secondary school. Also they should include the compulsory learning of igbo and hausa too. Knowing these major language could be a yardstick to having a more united nigeria ![]() |

JudismphD:Your comment doesn't make sense. Nigeria is a country belonging to different people of different languages. Lagos is a Yoruba state, either any outsider likes it not. This is why the traditional rulers are all Yorubas. Because yorubas in lagos opened their arms to foreigners doesn't change the fact that LAGOS IS A YORUBA STATE. The truth is that Igbo leaders in lagos are not even opposing the fact; it is the thoughtless boys of Igbo extraction and without any identity that are here making noise like irredeemable fools. |

tonytony208:mumu Nigeria is a federation and secular state. The constitution does not recognised a tribe or ethnic group owing a state. Go pick your book and read and stop advertising ignorance on public forum. Lagos is not and will never be recognised as an ethnic conclave in a federation neither will kano be. If a state assembly can adopt unofficial language when the constitution recognises another, its a null and viod. In your bid to demonstrate your early morning stupidity, u opted to reason from your anus |

Well there is a need to accommodate ogou Language in that arrangement .But there is also a need to have a technical team to develop the language. Medicine was taught in English fo many years in Saudi until they decided they wanted Arabic at least in some medical schools and they went to work to make this happen. If you want to make this happen start an online petition let us see how many supporters you will get I believe the more important place to make changes is in schools .Yoruba should be compulsory to SSS level in all publicly funded education.That is the more strategic approach |

JudismphD:I am not in the mood for horse trading. Mark you, you are no match for me in abusing, but am just not in the mood. There is no part of the constitution that says you must use English for discuss in your state assembly. And for your information, secularity has to do with religion and not ethnicity. I hope you can see how thoughtless you are now? Shebi me I still reason with anus, but I am sure you can see clearly that you do not reason at all. Like I commented earlier, your leaders in lagos do not dispute the fact that lagos is a Yoruba state. It is thoughtless dumbasses like you with no relevance that are making steupid noise like irredeemable fools |

tonytony208:Abinitio, intellectually malnourished being bow to superior argument. Your deficit is palpable in your write up; x-raying a "salamdender" with low sagacity due to mentally unstable parentage. The appeal to canalise overt stupidity to constructive academic productivity evidently missing in your genealogy. When morons write, errors are impeccable attibutes. Abuse of concord, dearth of coma and dyfunctional sentence construction. Dullard, the word 'irredemable' is superflous and the need to school yourself on the letter technicalities of the English language. The "discourse" in lieu of discuss. Gosh! "commented" is laughable. Present tense, zeor. To school you properly, the word "secular" in constitutual democracy is never narrowed to religion or religiosity. The laws employ secular to accommodate the belief system of people as expressed in their cultural pattern. To use secular in federalism is to buttress on the impact of rule of law in goverance. It shows how retrogressive you are and the regressive level of your half-education. |

JudismphD:Another word, (synonym) for secular is WORDLY! EEDIOTS like you think they know, but in real sense you are an empty skull. The use of your local language in your state assembly does not break any law, neither does it have anything to do with your own upsidedown idea of secularism. But I don't expect you to know or agree; this is what happens when peeps are labeled as OSU (outcast) by their own people; irrational ideas and thinkings become the order of the day. |
| Re: A Proposal For Lagos Assembly To Accept Yoruba Language As Official Language by Nobody: 11:29am On Apr 15, 2015 |

JudismphD:It can be pluralized.!!! Anyone who studied elementary literature or poetry will tell you that You are the one that needs schooling.You know not but think you know all. What the hell do you mean by perspicacious insight.Spare us the bombast please |
| Re: A Proposal For Lagos Assembly To Accept Yoruba Language As Official Language by Nobody: 2:24pm On Apr 15, 2015 |
omonnakoda:sheer show of ignorance and overt display of vulgarity remain your problem. What do a nonetity like u know about literature let alone its infantile stages. Plularize ur misery life oloshi omo baba aja. |
