This happens every time in northern Nigeria, in both government firms n private firms.

In NIPP (Geregu gas turbine 2), I know a Secretary(A northerner) to one of the oga kpatakpata who has an NCE in Islamic studies and he earns far more than a southerner who is ''Chief" Engineer in the plant.

I smell lies.

This seems fishy. Who walks on the rail line, with headphones on, backing the direction of incoming trains?

Additionally, the vibration alone from an incoming train is enough to alert anyone with earphones on.

This is why they want Buhari gone.

If you have not stolen public fund, will you be begging for plea bargain?

And this is why Buhari should go in 2019.

'Plea bargaining' that leaves crooks with billions of Naira and a lifetime immunity from punishment is NOT justice...and is certainly not the crackdown and punishment of corruption Buhari promised.

There should be ZERO TOLERANCE to this type of corruption in the Armed forces. Soldiers died due to lack of equipment. Civilians that could have been better protected by the army were left to die. All because crooks stole money means for soldiers' welfare and equipment. This should be treated as treason and sabotage and punishable by an extremely stiff jail term. But Buhari is letting these people go.

To think you're chalking this up as a 'win' for this administration. Disgraceful

LaudableXX:
Don't be silly. By citing the fact that Anambra and Imo did something similar, did I in any way allude to the fact that you must be from the SE? Where exactly did I say you were from the SE? I used those examples, because they were the ones that were well documented. I tried to check the criteria for Kaduna and Kano state-owned tertiary institutions online, but couldn't get the details or else I would have included it, too!

Go back to school biko, and stop getting worked up over nothing. Your parents obviously did not send you to school to get all defensive over a law using an indigenous language, as a harmless criteria for admission, .

If you didn't want to be lumped in with the rest of the e-tribal warriors on Nairaland, you would couch your words better. I can only go by what you put down, as well as your choice of words.

Secondly, given that it is a mandatory requirement for admission and may disadvantage non-lagosians who are unable to be sufficiently skilled in the language, it may well be far from 'harmless'.

this old goat should keep quiet!

WinningSun:
language affects learning. that's why you were indoctrinated with English before you're thought chemistry.

For the umpteenth time, there are hundreds of ethnic languages in Nigeria. Making English the official language is a common denominator.

'indoctrinated' is being disingenuous.

LaudableXX:
You did not make noise like this when Anambra and Imo made it compulsory for all students to learn Igbo, in their state owned institutions.

i did not see this when it happened. I would have criticized it too.

Your parents did not send you to school to be making the inane logical assumption that everyone who opposes this law has to be from the South East. You MUST do better.

zoedew:
You miss my point. It is sought to draw your attention to the fact that while English Language is as National in Canada as French it would not be it to insist on conducting your affairs in English Language in Quebec. I hope you got my drift.

The official language of Quebec is French. It is the SOLE official language. You cannot insist on speaking English to conduct business in an enclave where the official language is not English.

English is the official language in Nigeria. In every single nook and cranny of Nigeria. Yet this law seemingly seeks to make it legit to conduct business and teach in yoruba, even to the exclusion of other non-Yoruba speakers.

Kotodoctor:
Your reason show childish ignorant. One that often get your likes killed in the street. Many of you dont even know what street boys means. Street boys are into everything and anything. Almost everyone is guilty just don't get caught. That's the rule.

I love how you common thieves use fancy terms to dance around the term 'theft'. It's either 'hustle' or 'street boy'.
Abeg, I don't live in the same physical and ethical gutters you people inhabit...so all this talk about 'getting killed in the street' is just laughable.

Kotodoctor:
You are pointing fingers at "hush" because kc is a musician lol. Does kc look like a real musician to you. Or using music as a disguise. Since you know hush is a crook has he been investigated and prosecuted. You are making all sought of false assumptions and standing your ground base on that. Like I said this is why many of you will get killed in the street defending what you don't understands. You are standing at such distance and claiming you know the right side.

I'm not pointing fingers. I'm stating the obvious.
I don't care about any 'right side'. I don't even give a hoot about the Kcee guy. But at least the man can show legit sources for at least *some* of his inflow.

Kotodoctor:
99% of what they are talking about you have no idea trust me.

To be fair, you are right. I have never made it my concern to dabble in-depth into the ways of crooks.

Kotodoctor:
Are you sure you know? Half of those musician are 419 or politically correct termed gboys.

Where is your prove that he is a crook?

When someone with no visible, legit source of money makes a post complaining about someone snitching on him to the EFCC, my brother, that is enough to make a reasonable deduction.

But continue defending his honor here. Take a screenshot sef and send to him on IG. Maybe he'll dash you some money sef

mankand:
Yours dilector is nowhere to be found. If the law isn't okay with you, leave Yoruba land and go back to your village

Sorry, which 'dilector' is from Edo State?
Or is anyone who voices a contrary opinion now a 'biafran'?

They should have sent you to a better school so you could avoid these logical errors

Kotodoctor:
You guys don't get it. What he is trying to tell you, is that this guy's are not remotely as loaded as they portray themselves in videos. Hell! Some of you are better off than them.

It's not hush that is your enemies. But this celebs that don't have it that good. But constantly rubbish their fake lifes in your faces..till the point you start feeling insecure.. yes!

Na so one say him go deposit thirty billion for one girl account. And talk about a thirty billion concert. I look at the numbers of people on stage and I just back to watching my wrestling. At least am aware this one is fake.

Oh, everyone knows what the crook meant. But at least everyone knows how Kcee makes a living.

ycat:
You can always have a Yoruba interpreter with you at the meeting to explain what is going on. Or you can go back to your state, it's simple.

We can't keep speaking English, we can't develop speaking English, we can only dream in our language.

1. Let me correct this impression. This law is highly unlikely to affect me personally. My university days are long over (and certainly I'd have never gone to any of the provincial tertiary schools in Lagos). I also have limited exposure to Govt agencies. I am merely speaking out against what I perceive to be a misguided law.

2. Any development that could not have been achieved while speaking English...e no go work with Yoruba or Igbo or Hausa languages.

zoedew:
....”if so desired by the concerned”
You go to Quebec and insist on conducting business in English Language just because not all of Canada speak French and we’ll see how far that takes you! The right to self-determination includes the right to preserve your cultural and linguistic identity. Lagos having become a State where all are welcome to aspire it is imperative to ensure that the Yoruba culture and language are well preserved. That is only fair!

French is the official language of the enclave of Quebec. the vast majority of residents in Quebec are french speaking.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_Language_Act_(Quebec)

your analogy is not apt, as English remains the official language in ALL territories in Nigeria.

Was the OP not the one that said this

rawpadgin:
SMH
u can never become a billionaire working for people

told my course mate that i will never work for anybody after graduation

she was like "then why spending ur time & money trying to acquire a certificate u won't use"

i just looked at her & shook my head

What happened that made you change your mind?

desreek9:
A fornicator that wants to remove the log of wood in pastors eye, he hasnt remove his own, he should marry her first then we would know he is talking not blabbing.

The woman has been his fiance for how many years now and he has not married her, please is he not deceiving her? later he"ll say pastors are deceiving people, rubbish. MAKE SURE YOUR HOUSE IS CLEAN BEFORE CASTIGATING OTHERS.

Abeg which demigod Pastor are you defending now with this rubbish?

Did the woman tell you she is begging the man to marry her immediately? Do you know what the couple has planned privately for when they'll eventually formally marry? Why are you making these assumptions with zero knowledge?

All this twisted bitterness all because someone is begging you to worship Jesus and not your pastor. Na wa.

By far the worst, most disappointing Governor in Nigeria.

People rooted for this guy after Audu died. A Governor from a 'minority' tribe in the state who was expected to use his stint to drive the message home that performance - not tribal affiliation - should be the benchmark for judging and electing leaders. Look what has become of him!

tdayof:
It's not a stupid law. Government owned universities in foreign countries also have laws that do not fit in for all citizens.

Source?
Examples?

tdayof:
How is it backward? Must you seek admission into universities in Lagos? If you're not satisfied then find another choice.

You think I'm your mate that is seeking admission into school?

tdayof:
It's not like LASG give a damn about your opinion.

That's very possible. Politicians usually don't care about feedback from people before making stupid laws. But as a taxpayer that pays millions of naira in taxes to the Lagos State Govt every year, I have the right to air my opinions on this law.

What a backward and retrogressive law.
If you want to 'preserve the Yoruba language', why not restrict this only to Yoruba people? Why is this not optional?

Vado:
“The use of Yoruba language shall be an acceptable means of communication between individuals, establishment, corporate entities and government in the state if so desired by the concerned. It shall not be an offence for a person to speak Yoruba language by the state government,” the law reads in part.


With the new law, Bamigbetan said Yoruba language “has become mandatory for all candidates seeking admission into our tertiary institutions. Yoruba will now become a major requirement to engage in normal business communication in Lagos State.

“This is a clear and conscious commitment to the position which Lagos State prides Yoruba language as the cultural vehicle for us to be able to articulate our position and it also shows that Lagos has further recognised the importance of language as a vehicle for development.”

This is hostile to others, and disregards the fact that we have a national language in English to eliminate issues such as this. Essentially, this law makes it legal to go to a meeting in the Civil service and have the entire meeting conducted in yoruba language, to the exclusion of any present non-yoruba speaker.

Heck, you can even no use this law to hold lectures in LASU in 100% Yoruba.

Imagine if every tribe copies this and you then need to have a credit in Igbo language to even apply to Imsu


Disgraceful that there are some people here supporting this shite.

AnanseK:
I am glad that you admit the settlement received by the clergy. I don’t know what Christianity you belong to. I thought it was one religion.

'many members of the clergy' is not the same as saying 'all member of the clergy '

also anyone over the age of 10 knows that there are multiple denominations in Christianity. so youre either being disingenuous or you aren't very smart at all.

AnanseK:
Bishops are missing their PDP Father Christmas.

Typical BMC dog. Attack without sense whenever his lord is being given feedback.

Everyone in this country knows that the Catholic Bishop council stood aside while many members of the clergy were being settled by the PDP. Not even Lai Mohammed can levy this accusation against the Catholics.

Before you begin to spout nonsense again, ask your paymasters to brief you properly. Because as it stands, both the PDP and APC will disavow you for this inane statement.

peacettw:
I am slowly coming to the conclusion that the moderators of this forum are ever ready to push to the front page any negative news concerning the igbos. The stories are either that an igbo is killing someone, or pushing drugs or raping a young woman. Hardly will you see any ethnicity painted this way giving the impression that all vices are carried out by the igbos alone which clearly isn't so

Victim mentality at its ugliest. Disgraceful.

Samsung ks8000 available?

NairaMaster1:
Let freeze come and tell us it's pastors that mismanage them. I am yet to see freeze criticise politicians because he knows the implications.

Nobody worships Politicians.

People like you worship Pastors.

Hence Freeze is out to free you people from mental slavery.

What a waste of money (if this isn't about political patronage)

These 'donations' won't make Nigeria safer. They won't even help the Army top brass make better decisions. They'll just be converted to the personal use of some Army Ogas.

I mean, this is a known fact, so imagine my surprise to see some Nairalanders here lambasting other sensible citizens for being 'negative'.

seunlayi:
Take it easy, were you their when he was raping the girl? What if it was a set up? Don't you know that jungle justice is worst? I have seen rapist marrying the victims at last. See the case of that Ghanaian Principal, assuming they caught and gave him jungle justice, how would the world know he didn't rape the girl?

Say no to jungle justice

From the little you've posted, it seems very likely that you're a rapist. Your vehement defence of rapists - including inane suggestions that It could be consensual between that man and a 10 year old girl - is disgusting. I wonder how you sleep at night.

lordthunderbolt:
do you even know the difference between a pharmacist and a patent medicine vendor?

you see why you need to know the difference before you disgrace yourself?

Kai, I am so embarrassed for you.
My comment was CLEARLY about you claiming all pharmacists were honorable. I pointed out to you what should have been painfully obvious; you should really only vouch for your own character. You went off on a tangent.

I am not to blame for your lack of comprehension skills, but I can help. Send me your address and I will immediately mail you my old copy of Queen Primer for you to brush up on written English. No need to thank me.

When I say Nigerians are the biggest cowards in the world, people start arguing blindly. Why would you be frozen in fear when someone offers you food to compensate for keeping you waiting?
It's your choice to either reject or accept. No sane HR person would reject a stellar applicant just because they ate food the company offered them.

That said, allowing oil to stain your clothes is just sloppy.

lordthunderbolt:
change the topic abeg!
pharmacist are honourable people

You need to learn how to speak only for yourself.

I'm an Engineer. Many engineers are honorable. Many are crooks.
