gulfer: Ajimobi should answer this question; can the cabinet members speak very good english at this point for him to require they learn french again. ....Well, there are three lingua franca (lol, talk of speaking french) in Africa 1. Arabic 2. English 3. French Beside these three you have small pockets of indigenous languages like Fulani, Hausa and Swahili, where if you travel the beltway the fluency of the tongue is consistent. Yoruba culture and dialects are unbroken in the land across four countries, that's from West banks of the Niger to the East banks of the Volta. So practically Yoruba could be a lingua franca in the region. The governor and whoever his advisers are missed this window when he declared he wanted to foster better relationship with neighboring "french speaking" countries. The french speaking people across the border from him are Yoruba first. Beside, we know that. Anglo Africans don't speak English just for communicating, no....we compete on who is most stylish in English manners and etiquettes, and thus polished, will earn a guest chair at the Englishman's dinner table for "tea and biscuit". The Franco Africans have the same competition and aspiration to be the best "Franconized" African as their "Anglocized" brothers and sisters. These people will not learn french to better relationship, they will torment their constituencies with french verbages and cuisines. ....if you order amala at restaurant you will display your illiteracy. What is amala.....It is "am a la carte"! .....and your ignorant a*ss better not be asking for panla. The menu has changed chum, we now call it "pan a la bonbon". shhyytt, french ko, pashtun ni......stupid politicians! |

ebere1712: ...yeye monkey. ![]() You see how Yoruba people begin jump on the guy and dismiss him. We love our leaders but we wont take insult from them. If this declaration were made in alaigbo, instead of reacting to the offending leader, "your specific type of black people" will start blaming Fashola and toll gate policy or beging open multi threads to harass Tinubu. |

amourpure: Although i don't support the idea of forcing the legislators to learn French its obvious it is going to be another waste of public funds. The idea of including the language in the curriculum of the secondary schools is applaudable. It will go a long way to help the students. Didn't U̶̲̥̅̊ learn french in Ÿ̲̣̣̣̥ø̲̣̣̥Your pry or second sch and how has it contributed †̥ Ÿ̲̣̣̣̥ø̲̣̣̥Your life. Except of course if U̶̲̥̅̊ r a french teacher looking for job. |

Of course I and the many people on this platform believe this new French language policy for the executive cabinet is a bullsh1t move. However let's remember the Governor is first of all a politician...and yeah all they usually ever do is talk and sometimes muse less actions. Now French consular-general visits the governor (prolly for mutual benefits purpose or so) the Governer will just make the fellow smile (also a great opportunity with the press)....that's it about that...politicians, they TALK... 1 Like |

Ou la la, mon Dieu!. Cet encoule de gouverneur n'arret pas. Si ce n'est pas lui qui est accuse de detenir la citoyenete Americain, c'est l'epouse qui est en train de voler la tressorerie de l'Etat; ou bien c'est la fille qui est en train de ce faire baiser par tout les "big boys". Sango Olukoso, o d'owo re o. How did Oyo State descend so low to be governed by these faineants? |

afam4eva: One can see why Africa will continue to be the way it is because we're suffering from inferiority complex and Nigeria is shoulder above others. This is the only country you'll be mandated for paying a fee for speaking your native language in school. The only country that you'll be looked down on for making a grammatical blunder in English. The only country where speaking English is a sign of being educated. The coming of the British have put our local language at the mercy of extinction yet our senseless leader are still telling us to learn Chinese and French. How many Chinese and French people are Nigerians going to meet in their lifetime compared to Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. Instead of encouraging our kids to learn other African language in other to help foster unity in the country, these slaves are busy bringing new foreign languages everytime. If this were China, these people would have been shot in the eeye for even suggesting it. But it's Nigeria where stup1dity goes. Says the man whose people call themselves Jews of Africa. This same poster opened a Topic during the Olympics eulogizing the US national anthem afam4eva: For some reason, whenever the Nigerian anthem is being played i just don't feel anything. But whenever the US anthem is being played, it moves me. I get close to tears at times. Mind you i've never been to the US in my life. Why don't i feel anything when the national anthem of Nigeria is being played? Even the South African anthem moves me. https://www.nairaland.com/1019599/nigerian-anthem-vs-american-anthem 2 Likes |

dumb policy,selling ourselves to another slave master,that's why our economy is not growing due to lack of local content,we prefer imported foods,cloths,ideas,culture,traditions to the detriment of our own. btw,how will dis policy translate to improving the standard of living of the people? there are just some policies that cannot see d light of d day,... behold one of them |

Negro_Ntns:Mgbati m.adma.n. This is your own trait. Any Igbo with this trait has gotten infected with Nigeria. When your fathers where busy speaking english with their mgbati mouths; we were running things in our local lingua. Inventing everything from ogwu oria to ogbunigwe. You people are laboratory mon.keys for both the pinks and fulani slaves. DO you know what it means to be a slave to slaves!!!! That is what yous are, think hard and maybe you will realise that awolorat actually wasn't that stupid to have commited suicide. |

stonebridge: Me and my nation don't suffer from any of that shit you just spewed. Lagos is going to speak cantonese, osun egyptian, oyo japanese, ekiti french; men which one remain to speak Yoruba. When we finally get far away from you degenerate slaves; we would place aruru-ala edict on English too; so slaves can continue to practice their master's language. |
