A good move. I learnt Yoruba in school, spoke Igbo at home and these combination has enriched my worldview.

Yoruba is moving forward... We are planning ahead

Moving Lagos to the next level cos all those non Yoruba will soon pack their load and go back to thier various villages


This is vision, though it tarry but at the end , it shall speak.

AM PROUD TO BE A TYPICAL YORUBA MAN

This ethnic difference is always the major cause if diversity amongst Nigerians. You'll learn the language just by living in Lagos, this is just a means or an excuse to limit our unity as a nation. Why not employ different language teachers or better still foreign language teachers to further broaden the knowledge of our future generations.

Open your eyes and see the true picture, this has got nothing to do with one Nigeria or otherwise. We have so many native speakers who don't understand their Orthographies. The implication is that they might be able to speak but not write. It is affecting my Urhobo till date. I learnt Yoruba in school, took my time in researching and studying its orthographies, as well as rules. All thanks to that, I'm multi-lingual today.

Almost all Nigerian languages are dying. Every state Government must understand that it is their sole responsibility to uphold and protect the tradition and culture of where they govern. It cannot be the English language all the time.

Understand me, I am not interested. Before now sey na Igbo or Hausa him dey employ

If Ambode see other natives that can teach Yoruba so well, will he employ them

So enough of these hype in the social media.

I envy you. I have tried to learn Igbo language, but it's really hard man

I get your point. One of my teachers way back then in secondary was an Igbo woman married to a Yoruba man. Mrs Anifowose's understanding of the Yoruba language is impeccable. She was my motivation for taking the Yoruba language at the time.

Fast forward to the present day, it is not just about 'teaching' or understanding Yoruba as a non-native speaker. If you don't have at least an NCE or B.Ed, you won't be considered surely. The educational sector has taken quite a beating in the past and this is why you see a failed lawyer taking up a teaching job to becoming a government teacher.

Then again, you must understand that the instruction, according to the National curriculum says that every Nigerian student must be able to fluently speak and write at least a Nigerian language. The Hausas have been doing this perfectly and effortlessly, the same applies to some parts of the SW such as Osun and Oyo state.

Truth is, we don't expect another Nigerian language to be given due attention like the Yoruba language because Lagos, though often called a no man's land, belongs to the Yorubas. The same applies to Enugu. You don't expect another Nigerian language to flourish more than the Igbo language, else a possible case of extinction might occur.

Bottom line: So long you towed the teaching line as a Yoruba graduate, where you are from doesn't really matter. Most Yoruba folks around today can't even speak and write the Yoruba language as I do, let alone understand its orthography called 'akotan'.

I want to believe that you are speaking for yourself, from a genuine heart but I am not talking about you. I am talking about Ambode who despite his good electoral promises is selective in his employment. He only favours the Yorubas.

The government of those day preach peace and unity. You get to any government settings, you feel you are a Nigerian and every students related so well with the teachers. They don't feel out of place. In the school, you will find Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba both amongst the pupils and the teachers but now what do we have
