Politics › Re: My Message To Igbos Over The New Language Law In Lagos by Sanchez01(m): 12:23am On Feb 15, 2018
Efewestern:
I clearly understand your point, but my issue with the law is that it was too one sided, stuffs like that should be limited to Primary and secondary, not that students even pass Yoruba without expo anyway.

I believe when making judgement we should at all time reason from different angles. I might be wrong on this, but I don't support the lagos state government on this.

What the law means, before you can school in any of our state institution, you must be able to speak and understand Yoruba, this doesn't sound well for me.
Maybe because I was born in Lagos or that I did excellently well with my Yoruba classes as a student but the truth remains that Lagos representatives have rights to make certain moves to preserve and grow their culture and their language.

If you have ever witnessed non Yorubas who don't even understand the language fight for positions in Lagos, you'd be irritated. A certain Igbo politician in 2015 contested for the governorship of Lagos and he claimed he is contesting because he understands the Yoruba way of life and their culture. All these he said in English. When a caller called Channels TV to ask him questions, he was asked to interpret 'Lagosians, I greet you, I need your votes' and that was where trouble started.

An average Lagosian communicates with Pidgin while the typical Igbo language is used in Enugu, not minding whether you are Igbo or not. Based on my encounter, I am not motivated to learn the Igbo language largely because L1 speakers believe I must learn their language because I am in their land.

You cannot get a civil servant job if you aren't Igbo or even from Enugu here. My point is, we are fast getting to the point where every man would answer his father's name. It would have been a different ball game if this move was initiated in Delta State, owing to the fact that we have several ethnic groups.

It is now a case of 'get of of the kitchen if you cannot stand the heat'. Lagos was far more developed than any region before Independence and Yoruba was widely spoken then. I am not sure it would change now that the Yoruba language is now mandatory.

You have to promote your language within the framework of what is acceptable and the unique idiosyncrasies of the state. if Lagos were a country, no one would even bat an eyelid.
This mindset is so wrong and dangerous! There are reasons why Yorubas have kings all over her territory as opposed to you guys. There is a reason the Ooni has been junketeering a while now and every state owes her indigenous people the right to preservation of culture. And last I checked, it is not unconstitutional to do this.

Lagos does not need to become a country before making moves to preserve the ways of her people. If you ask me, now is the best time even. If you aren't interested in the Yoruba language, then you have no business getting education, from primary level to secondary and even tertiary (for those dreaming of getting into LASU).

Very silly move by the state government.

I read a thread here were some lagosians were complaining about the current air pollution in the state, especially how dirty are being littered everywhere, due to the new policy of the state governor , instead of them to address this issue and other issues bothering the state the only thing they could think of is this law, what a pity.

Like we all know Lagos belongs to Yoruba, what's the essence of the law?, what are they trying to proof?.

For those using IMO and anambra law to justify this, how many non Indigene are in those state compared to lagos, infact Lagos is home to all hence laws such as this should not see the light of the day.
If you ask me, I'd say the law is needed. Beyond the 'we own 95% of Lagos' chant, we should also understand that this is a state with a history, a people and a culture, regardless of whether or not it accommodates others.

More so, the institution here is governed by the state and not the federal government. Probably there is a need to resuscitate the dying consciousness of the Yoruba attitude in many educated folks, which is true and needed, or that it is an act to curb the impunity of a certain people who believe Lagos belong to them just because her people welcomed them with open arms. And as much as we criticise Lagos for this move I'd be pleased to tell you that it is insanely found in the North and South East.

Personally, I see it as an advantage to be bilingual. Although I already am, I believe it would be an opportunity for non Lagosian to deeply root themselves in its tradition.

It is high time owners call the shot. Let them beat the drums of consciousness to the hearing of those who care to hear.

Wha-aa-at?? shocked Didn't realise this 3rd group existed. Thanks for the info. sad But isn't it ridiculous that in this century where knowledge has increased, technology has abounded and innovation keeps unfolding almost on a daily basis, the minds of men are still so small that they scorn and discriminate against fellow human beings like themselves, based on archaic, superstitious, irrational beliefs??! shocked angry
Here's my personal assessment of the the Igbos: they are a fascinating people to study and are quite deeply rooted in culture. Largely dogmatic in nature, an Igbo man would never question the practice of his forbears, except he embraces a new religion and remains staunch at it.

His fellow, rather than correct or point out his wrong to him, would prefer to classify him as different for his weird behaviour and would readily describe him with the behaviour.

This is why the social class system and cannibalism (in some parts) can hardly be questioned and outrightly challenged. And instead of correct or reform these practices, others would tell you you cannot choose a partner from these places because they are either social misfits or freaks of nature. Education is not really enough to challenge cultural beliefs in Igbo land. For a people deeply rooted in culture and its beliefs, it is quite hard to totally put an end to these practices.

Ehn? 3 classes?? shocked I thought there were just 2 groups - the "Osu," who are the outcasts, and the "Dialas," who are the freeborns. Who are the 3rd?
In Imo State, three classes of individuals exist. These are the “free born” (Diala), the enslaved outcasts (Osu, Ohu or Oru) and Ume (those prone-to-die).

I got wind of the Ume recently during a session at the office. I find it quite fascinating but haven't gotten sound materials to read on it.

What do you expect? shocked Many of them live in denial. sad They will act like an ostrich and bury their heads in the sand, thinking it will go away, instead of taking firm steps to address it. They are quick to spot the flaws in other cultures, but always sly enough to cover the defects inherent in their own.
I think it is sickening and hypocritical because Igbos are culturally inclined and judgemental St the same time. You deny people the joy of being with themselves simply because some criminal elements among you call a fellow human slave and unworthy of social interaction with his peers because the others are freeborn.

You need to have a friend who is affected directly before you would understand the horror of this horrible practice.

Social interactions between the three classes of people in Igboland is still very much alive, as much as they would want to claim that they have evolved and outgrown these practices.

you are bounded by your thoughts. Even the holy book says Guard forth thier heart, for out of it flows issues of life.

You believe in the effects of OSU even when its meaningless. Even among the Igbo tribe, you support discrimination then you wonder why Igbo's don't get along in anything. And why we always fail in our political dealings when discrimination is heavily ingrained in our roots.

I am certain if the killing of twins existed, you would support it calling them strange creatures. And to think that Most Igbo families are Christians, I still find it rather stupid as to why they can't do away with this culture that promotes discrimination amongst brothers.

A friend's partner was rejected by her parents in December because the said guy, though from Anambra, is an Osu.

Opta stats

PSG have eliminated Real Madrid in their two previous knockout encounters (1992/93 UEFA Cup, 1993/94 Cup Winners Cup), both times in the quarter-finals.

Under Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid have won 10 of their 14 Champions League knockout games (D2 L2), lifting the trophy twice in as many seasons. As part of this run, they've won all six of their games at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid have reached the semi-finals in each of the last seven Champions League campaigns, also a record run in the history of the competition.

Last season, Real Madrid became the first team since Inter Milan in 2010 to win the Champions League after having finished second in their group.
PSG scored 25 goals in this season's group stages, a record in the group phase of the competition.

Real Madrid will be without full-back Dani Carvajal through suspension, meaning Raphael Varane could play on the right of defence with Nacho partnering Sergio Ramos in the centre.

Jesus Vallejo and Dani Ceballos are also set to miss out through injury while Zidane will have to make a call on whether to start Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo as a front three.

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery has left Thiago Motta out of the squad heading for the Spanish capital.

Former Real midfielder Lassana Diarra is set to start in his place behind the star-studded front three of Neymar, Cavani and Kylian Mbappe.

A typical Nigerian non Catholic who is drained with his or her own church doctrine will wear red tomorrow and majestically walk into her or his lover's house to wish him happy valentines day.

But every other thing about the catholic doctrine is paganized by you and your church folks.

Y'all have suddenly forgotten that Valentine is a saint In the catholic world that is usually celebrated every 14th of February, just like other catholic saints.

But tomorrow you will come online and tell us how Catholics worship Mary, you get angry when she is being celebrated. But Tomorrow, you will be buying gifts in the name of valentine.


All the Pentecostal churches that bash the catholic doctrines and saints are the ones who will even celebrate the valentine the most.

But there you are, saying you know so much about Christianity.

Now, tell me that saint valentine is a saint in your own church, I am listening, how?
Catholic faithful, you should understand that a typical Nigerian does not concern himself or herself with St. Valentine whose acts we celebrate today. As a matter of fact, the definition of Valentine's day around the world does not reflect the deeds of St. Valentine as its meaning as long been lost.

What we celebrate now is not even affiliated with religion or denomination because it is celebrated by people of various belief system, tribe and creed. The modern day St. Valentine's day is popularly known as 'Lover's day', and last I checked, this is far from the origin of the day. If the celebration of Valentine's day is affiliated with religion, I strongly believe the volume of lovers and sex acts committed on this day won't be as much as this.

I am not sure your pepper soup logic applies here.

Greatzeus:
Can it boost browsing speed,that's my own concern. I am ok with call reception signal so far ? Can it make download faster or make 3g fast like 4g? Thanks
Yes, it can. One of the reasons why Internet speed slows down is the absence of strong network signals. A network booster is capable of optimizing your signal strength which would in turn impact your Internet/data.

However, a booster might not save you if the closest Base station to you only has 2G on it. At the most, you would get a strong 2G signal which could still be slow for Internet use.

The NCC seem confused because it is near impossible for an individual to get a booster and have it latch on to the network of his or her choice without getting help from the network guys.

There are standard procedures for getting boosters and it is never given to an individual. Boosters are not like Mi-Fis that one can carry around.

It is a device installed within a house, structure or building to further boost the strength of a particular telecommunication signal. The essence is to serve High Value Customers, who though love the telco operator, but are restricted to using certain services such as data and voice.

Do you know how many times scientists carry out experiments before they establish it as a fact? That thing had to have happen to you for at least six times before it can be established as a fact. As a matter of fact, whether spirit influences success or not, I won't advocate such ideology because it breeds laziness. Let the spirits be helping themselves to succeed in their spiritual realms, we will succeed if we follow our own principles of success.
Pls don't teach your children to fast and pray for academic success o.
Tell them to read their books and be in a good psychological frame of mind instead. Peace.
There are principles for just about every good thing in the Scripture and that of success isn't exempted. The last time I checked, one of the function of 'this spirit that breeds laziness' is to remind you of the things you have read.

Should anyone fast and pray over academic success, then chances are that the person might get into trouble because that is a wrong application. You don't sing a burial song at wedding and expect everything/everyone to stay or act normal.

●She can cook
●Religious
●Beautiful
●Hardworking
●Humble
●Experienced sexually
●She looks younger than her age.

She has all the qualities I want in a woman.

What are some issues we might have to face that same age couples wouldn't?

Mature response please!

Thanks.
It is not just about the good qualities. While we don't expect you to list her other side, it all comes down to coping with the other side. You are seeing these things because it is either she wants you to see these ones or that your relationship is quite new. Either way, the typical African mentality would kick in at some point. You would feel being the man should put you in the pilot seat while being the older one should put her there, save she belongs to the fewer class of calm, collected and matured (deep down).
