The economy of SW is not based on oil. It is based on Agriculture, Manufacturing, Hospitality businesses and services.

We've always had a good economy before oil. That is not going to change should we go our separate ways. I don't foresee the break-up of Nigeria though. Most Nigerians believe we are better together than disintegrated into smaller pieces.

This is why I love yoruba people, they argue on facts while dem dem only do the crying and argue base on emotion

ndubueze92:
This is not good. Are you now talking as a patriot ? I think that move would have been acceptable in a regional government.

Being patriotic is working under the law and establishing laws that's within the jurisdictions of the law of the federal republic of nigeria albeit bestowed on each region or state to operate independently. So far, SW,especially Lagos hasn't in any way enacted a law nor operate without that jurisdiction of the federal republic of nigeria. Except you can point that out?

Oshe!!

I don't know why some Yoruba people are still replying this dirty ibo thing[b]. There is nothing those Ibo pigs will do. For some of them to have come out to opposed this bill is an insult to us. If they born them well, let them do their worse.
It is high time they are taught a lesson.

Honestly, I don't understand why they are still replying the poor guy. WTF! They've helped increased the thread greatly.


So annoying and disappointing to say the least!

It will be recalled that Mr. Peter Obi during the launch of Subawa Igbo initiative at the Women Development Centre, Awka, Anambra State introduced  far-reaching measures to revive Igbo language and culture.  Part of the measure was the annual cash award of N250, 000, N200, 000 and N100, 000 to the best three Igbo language students in secondary schools in Nigeria.

[b]Mr Obi. also gave cash donations as well as university scholarship to the best two Igbo language students in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), Messrs Kevin Anozie and Chika Echeta, of Holy Child Secondary School, Isuofia and Bishop Onyemelukwe Secondary School, Onitsha, respectively. Before now, the former governor had signed into law a bill to enforce the speaking and writing of Igbo language among Ndigbo in Anambra and Diaspora, and also stopped meting of corporal punishment to students who speak Igbo in schools in the state.

Like English Language and Mathematics, [b]Mr. Obi’s strive to make  Igbo Language  compulsory in all educational institutions in the state, and also sent a bill to that effect to the State House of Assembly as well as making a pass in Igbo Language mandatory for employment in the state.To sustain the renewed interest in Igbo studies, the state government has commenced the building of Chief Chidozie Ogbalu Igbo Language School at a cost of N50.5 million for specialized and holiday programmes in Igbo.

Notable Igbo groups such as Igbo World Union  (IWU) have been emphasising the need for  Igbos to exert efforts in reviving Igbo Language  and its earlier cultural activities. The group is also harping on  the need for Igbos at home and those in Diaspora, especially    parents to cultivate the habit of  inculcating in their children Igbo culture and tradition. The group has also succeeded in setting up an Igbo school in  South Africa, France, Spain and United States.

Despite the above efforts, much needs to be done to forestall Igbo language and culture going extinct. This is because, to the average Igbo, it has become more fashionable to speak English and other languages except Igbo.

It is also regrettable that most Igbo hold their town union meetings in English. Government business in Igbo states is entirely conducted in English. This attitude is not only pathetic but  funny attitude and must change before Igbo language regains its lost glory.

 While we commend Mr. Peter  Obi for his foresight in introducing the far- reaching measures to revive the Igbo language and culture, we appeal to Igbo speaking states governors measures to revive Igbo language  to use these now that the language is among those predicted to go extinct in the near future if nothing drastic is done to promote its usage.Huge funds should be made available to encourage people to study and research in Igbo and give incentives for teachers to specialise in Igbo[/b]

Hypocrites everywhere.

Hypocrites everywhere.

Prof. Ihechukwu Madubuike, Director, Igbo Renaissance at the Gregory University, Uturu (GUU), Abia, said on Saturday that the university would soon introduce the Igbo language as a compulsory course in the second year.

Mr. Madubuike announced this at Uturu during the 6th edition of the Igbo (Uturu) Cultural Carnival, which held at the university.

"By the next two years, the university plans to introduce the Igbo language as a compulsory subject for all students in the second year.

"Whether you are Yoruba, Hausa or Efik, you must take Igbo as a compulsory subject, in spite of your area of specialisation," he said.

Mr. Madubuike described the Igbo language as the "soul of the culture of Ndigbo," adding that the disappearance of the language would mean the ultimate death of the culture.

Earlier, the traditional ruler of Oko in Anambra state, Laz Ekwueme, called for concerted efforts by people of the South-East to save the Igbo language from going extinct.

Mr. Ekwueme, who was the chairman of the carnival, expressed regret that the Igbo language was under serious threat, due to the decline in its usage as a means of communication in various families.

He noted that many families of Igbo origin preferred to communicate in foreign languages, especially the English language, with their children.

"More often, nowadays, you find many parents communicating with their children and relations in the English language, rather than the Igbo language," he said.

Mr. Ekwueme regretted that the development was capable of endangering the Igbo language, if not promptly checked.

The monarch, who was a former Minister of Education, commended the Chancellor of the University, Dr. Greg Ibe, for initiating the carnival.

"Anything that is done to encourage the sustenance of the Igbo language and culture would be encouraged," he said.

Mr. Ekwueme noted that the event would add value to similar efforts designed to re-establish and reinforce the Igbo culture[/b].

  All the government’s cultural agencies in the Igbo speaking states should be involved in the promotion of Igbo language. Why can’t we use the local languages in our state legislative houses like Lagos State House of Assembly now conducts its business once a week in Yoruba?[/b]

The bill was finally passed on Thursday with the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, ordering the Clerk of the House, Mr Azeez Sanni, to send a clean draft copy of the bill to the state Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode for his assent.

Take heart by brother. and please, try to sleep and get well soon.

How can such an irritating fellow with delusional mentality and dumb inferiority problem bear such a great handle/word " knowledgeable" What an insult and embarrassment on such a powerful word.


Seun should insert some sort of software that examine mental stability or state of mental analysis before approving new members for registration on here, abeg Seun do somebody we beg you

knowledgeable:
Igbo children are your target primarily. We know Yorubas to well. Igbos are specifically endowed.....dominating sports, entertainment, beauty contests and etc. It's only a matter of time when awards and shows will be conducted in Yoruba language in lagos. This will give the outside world the impression that all these talented and beautiful people are Yorubas.

Unity beggars in other to promote Yoruba tribe only.

Alcatraz005:
So you won’t caution the guy but blame me? I should ignore when his views represents the apprehension of millions of Christians in yorubaland? We are ready sha in case any fundamentalist ideology wants to spring forth from our Muslim population.

The dude you've been arguing with is IBO framing yoruba. He's one of the we yoruba group. I have another prove but I will keep it at that. You fell easily for it all because of religion. It's disappointing honestly. They use your weakness against you and you didn't know. You need to apply wisdom with the way you go about the religion stuff.

PapalsBull:
[s][/s]
Go and sleep. You're making a fool of yourself.
If you don't know that you are conversing with an igbo man whose aim is to divide the Yorubas through religion then, your case is beyond redemption.

I'd advise you stay off from ethno sectarian discussion on nairaland.

He and the Muslim guy, if indeed are Yorubas are a BIG disappointment to say the least.

The fact that you expend so much time and energy on this subject tells me one thing; you are deeply insecure about your own identity.

WE WILL SURELY FIGHT IT OUT IN COURT NOT BECOS WE CARE WHETHER YORUBA IS AN OFFICIAL LANGUAGE IN SOUTH WEST BUT BECOS, THE BILL CROSSED THE LINE INTO OTHER GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CULTURAL AFFILIATION WITH THE YORUBA LANGUAGE.

WE WILL FIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN, NOT THAT WE GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR YORUBA CHILDREN.

Sorry to say this, if you are still replying the OP, who believes Lagos is not a state and he and his group are out to hijack Lagos gov in his imaginary law suit? Then you are as crazy and delusional as the OP.
