Yes. When he's in school, he'll speak English.

Couples from different tribes should endeavour to speak their dialect to their children.

Daddy should speak Yoruba.
Mum should speak Igbo.

The children will pick up English speaking in school and other social gatherings.

Children at tender ages have the GOD given ability to pick up many languages, which many parents aren't aware of.

I read the post of a lady whose fiancé was biracial. I think daddy was English, mum Arab and they had a Spanish nanny. The guy can speak three languages because these languages were spoken to him.

His dad spoke English to him.
His mum spoke Arabic to him.
His nanny spoke Spanish to him.

Now, he's a polyglot and this made him land an international job.

So, I see no reason why parents of different tribe or race can't speak their language to their children.

christistruth01:
Lagos is a cosmopolitan city in Yorubaland !!!

the Lagos State Assembly Session is held in Yoruba language every Thursday


even Azikiwe and Ojukwu spoke fluent Yoruba

How will he understand or Speak to them ?

Navalsadiq:
my guy be rest assured that obi did not win this election oh.

Yes there might have been one or two hik ups in the election it doesn't mean obi won the elections.i can tell you that he did not even get up to 10 percent in the north east and north west state.

Okay let's assume he won all the south south and south east state,he won Lagos with 10000 votes,he won plateau and nassarawa.let me even add up benue to his win even though he did not win there as declared by inec he still doesn't meet the constitutional requirements for him to be declared winner.

mannobi:
In this scheme of things some people are suggesting orji Kalu but let's see the performance of the apc in his state. Compared to oshomole. Oshomole had 100k votes to emerge winner in his state as a senator and the president elect has 100k votes but can you say so of Orji kalu? He won yet his party didn't get 10 percent of votes. Which means he was only concerned about his ambition and not that of his party. Such a person is not a party man. He doesn't deserve the seat of the senate president.

In all sincerity senator Godswill Akpabio deserves it more for his contribution to the growth of the party and his region. If Akpabio cannot get it then Special considerations should be made for either David Umahi or Osho baba

Again

Dapagun:
But why the constant gaffes? Old age? Lack of concentration? Forgetfulness? Lack of a strong research team?

Or just bland incompetence?

This is the original picture of Prof Saheed.

A google search will help just time

Dapagun:
Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi tried to congratulate Prof Saheed Aderinto, a Professor of History and African Diaspora Studies at Florida International University, who recently won the $300,000 Dan David Prize—the largest history prize in the world. But there was a problem.

Peter Obi's verified handle posted the wrong picture. This is not the first time the 61-Year-Old former governor of Anambra will be posting wrong content via his twitter handle and then quietly delete it to avoid people alluding to his mistake.

This is happening as he assembles a legal team to fight his electoral loss which he claimed he won and was rigged out of.

sreamsense:
Then, it is better for him to go and learn how to speak Yoruba fluently first before coming back to contest.

He has failed first prerequisite assignment of governance. You must be able to connect in language and culture of people you want to lead especially grassroot.

Dsalvo:
If I did not know you as an old bigot I would have praised you for this sensible post which offers good advice.

Yet me and you know what you are dreaming of is never going to happen because Igbos like you never accept the destructive and extremely limiting shortcomings of their own people. Instead you ascribe to yourself abilities you do not have.

The Lagos Lekki Port, built to be one of the best in the world, has nothing to do with the FG.

If you or any Igbo can tell me why Igbos cannot do same, when you always brag that two Nnewi billionaires can buy Lagos, then you would already have your answer per why the SE is stagnant and likely to remain so.

Yet I won't expect any sensible answer from even a single Igbo because you are all incapable of honest and sincere introspection.

Never facing the reality about your character flaws and lying to yourselves you are supermen, that others are preventing from being great, is what you are all good at.

One of your brothers has already given the tired and abused excuses of Ports above when even a child knows nothing can prevent a rich, capable, visionary and progressive people, using public and private sector partnership, from delivering Ports and everything the FG will not do for them.

Exemplified by how Tinubu and the "unambitious" and "penniless" Yorubas have done time and time again with the Lekki free trade zone, Lekki Port and planned Lekki international airport.

One of the most audacious project in Africa, in Eko Atlantic, is a PPP with no FG kobo involved. So also fourth mainland bridge etal.

Keep deluding yourselves. It is what you Igbos do best. Meanwhile keep abandoning the SE and running kiti kiti everywhere. Shehu Sanni has now added a few more "no man's land"locations outside the SE you people can go and 'develop' at the expense of the SE.

kettykin:
This is no shades, time for the east to build a tech capital or silicon valley, a trade melting point like Dubai, a business capital like London, a manufacturing hub like Shanghai or shenzhen

Each of the four major eastern cities like owerri becoming a technology capital, onitsha transformation to trading capital while Aba become a manufacturing hub and enugu the business choice city,with Abakiliki providing the food hub.

No need to go to sambisa or Giwa this will lead to dragging it with funny people in future

The post did not seat well with a lot of South Easterners as they go under his tweet to express dissatisfaction.

EriMma1:
Leave that feminist bullshit! That's what you men are using as excuse to dodge responsibilities these days.

By the way, feminism is widely misunderstood. It doesn't mean equality with men in the area of financial responsibilities but equality of rights to work, earn and occupy certain office and political positions. You are just being ridiculous to think feminism is all about sharing financial responsibilities equally. No!

To your question, a womans duty is to make sure the home is in order and the children and husband are well fed and cared for. Manages the husbands finance very well. Proper Home and financial management are what we bring to the table.

EriMma1:
No no no... You tell me?

A man who cannot meet your needs should not be anywhere around you because he'll only be a stumbling block to your progress and cause you to miss out on great opportunities that would have come your way through those who understand the assignment. Don't ever let such men around you.

I've never been an advocate for starting small with a man after my past experiences even before the economy got this bad not to talk of now that it has plunged deep into meltdown.

A lot of ladies who went into such mess in the early 2000s are still carrying the family till today while the men are struggling to meet up with no headways or hopes in sight. This takes me to the next point.

As a single man still struggling, don't ever brainwash or be brainwashed by any girl to go into marriage and manage with you until things get better. Y'all have seen that e go better has become the prayer of a poor man. So run away from such trap. Make it to a reasonable level first before going for a woman.

I don't want to begin to go into details of the eventualities that may likely occur and become very grave due to inability to tackle them financially. Use your tongue to count your teeth.

I remember a long time ago when I was dating one struggling guy. The aunty asked him a very good question I'll never forget in my life and that taught me a lesson I've been applying in life's situations.

He invited me to come spend the weekend with him that the aunt was around so I could feel relaxed. When I got there and the aunty saw me, she called him aside and asked him the following.
You know we are struggling to eat in this house. Your salary is not enough and you brought in a young girl. What if there's an emergency in the course of her stay, what will you do? How will you go about it? When he told me, I became scared and thought the aunt was right. I now remembered one certain time I visited a friend. So that night we strolled out to buy suya. I don't know if it was from the suya paper or the unhygienic environment it was prepared that gave me food poison. That night, I didn't know where I was. Serious stomach cramps and I was just coiling up in the room that day holding my stomach. Again this lawyer guy no get shishi to even take me to the nearest clinic. In his confusion he gave me garlic to chew. That seemed to help a little but omor, I broke up with him.

So, with this few points of mine, I believe iv been able to convince and not confuse you on the need to stay away from a man that cannot cater for your needs.

If you attack me, it shows you're a struggling guy or dating a struggling guy. Una eyes go soon clear. My own don clear tey tey.

Enjoy.

The traitor and loser is at it again, coming to Alimoso to do what exactly? We allowed you to become 2 times commissioner for works in Lagos state, but you cornered the Alimosho structure and started arrogating power unnecessarily, you left to become governor of Osun state with our resources, became minister, and then stab Tinubu that made you achieve this feat.

Any Lagosian that follows you traitor will fail woefully, a shameless man who wanted to sneak back to Lagos after Tinubu won the election

Babastrong:
The failure of Peter Obi in the last election is the failure of religious politics in nigeria. Don't let anybody deceive you.

While the failure of Atiku is the failure of regional politics.

With Tinubu, Nigerians voted for a Nigerian.

Anybody that knows Lagos general hospital should know that it's not somewhere you can just breeze in and breeze out to visit patients anyhow. When my sister in-law was admitted there, only my MIL was allowed to go in with one person to see her. That Remi Tinubu was allowed to go in doesn't mean people can be going there anyhow. Levels pass levels



So she won't get to misyarn in public.

TheNiceGuy:
Imagine these charlatans.

Inexperienced governorship Canditate with dull and illiterate VP

She was questioned in English, she couldn't respond with English

She responded in Yoruba and even out of context

Even that Yoruba she couldn't speak

She's almost crying because of ordinary hospital protocols meaning she's like the Osu outcasts who're also emotional.

Lagos is Not for these two charlatans that won't be able to manage ordinary LGA

Laple0541:
So Remi Tinubu that was the first lady of Lagos State for 8years, Senator representing Lagos central senatorial district in Lagos State for 12years and the wife of the president elect is now in the same class with this jan.ja.we.ed right?

Tell me one office that she held in the past that should warrant her such privilege. Is she a volunteer medical personnel? So what precisely is she going to do there.

There are over 16 political parties jostling for the gubernatorial post, if everyone of them start sending their deputy governorship candidate, won't they turn the place to a political atmosphere?

kpompey:
This is emotional blackmail. It is the LP way and style. You are coming to empathize with someone in pain for political gain or benefits. The people in that video, did they look serious to you other than mediocres who sees opportunity, and they want to use it. When the governor said nobody , how does this translate to LP. Does that mean every Dick and Harry must visit without an honest intent. If they are truly concerned, let them pay their families a visit like the governor himself did and openly organize prayers for them for quick recovery. They could equally offer cash support to those who lost their family. Everything should not be politicized.

ojoadeola:
Now I understood why he worked against Peter Obi. The South East contributed to his defeat at the PDP Primary. See the bolded below

“You know what he told Obi? He didn’t tell him that look, you came late and I have chosen somebody. He said it is the north that will produce the next president. That was how Obi left saying why is he wasting time. Ask him, that’s how he left PDP.”

“And that was what I saw at the convention ground. Within minutes, knowing that I was going to win, your sons were all the ones who did everything and sabotaged me. I said ok, no problem.

StagethemTVee:
I can’t make sense of why people want to vote Chinedu Gbadebo Rhode- Vivour as Governor of Lagos state despite is antecedents all over the public space just because he is contesting on the platform of Labour Party.

This is the same way they stole Banky W’s win from him on the whims of emotions LP from top to bottom whether the person is a rapist, armed robber or whatever. No manifesto and the LP guy won Banky W.

I saw some of Chinedu Gbadebo’s tweets and I cringed. May the best man win. And may Lagos never move from average to worse.


NB- Some of his tweets for those in mentions. This is about issues/facts, and not you getting emotional

casualobserver:
Nothing stops you from building your own ports. Lagos built a port by itself, Akwa Ibom is building a port by itself. Buhari is not the one that created unknown gunmen and sit at home orders.

Stay there and be destroying your zone while others are working hard to develop theirs. If others did not make their zones conducive for business you people will not be migrating there for jobs and enterprise.
