Stingman:


Truth is that you FEAR the Igbos..no be so?

In your heart can you swear that this Law is not meant to hurt the Igbos?

Will it hurt the northerners...the Ijaws as much...? The answer is no...

How about that little coward?

Ihatepork:
Why are these ones writing silly epistles about a bill that has already been passed. One daft mumu is even talking about marriage to potorpotor women lol. They always react without sense

And for those praising the OP that she's this and that. I hope you'll use the same mouth to praise her when she spews her regular nonsense

She's just as foolish as the rest of them. Don't be deceived. I don't know why some of you get easily carried away

Stingman:


How many aside of the Igbos seek admission in LASU?

ConcernedNL:


My friend, let me tell you plain. The only people in Nigeria that dont support splitting is the North.

The only people who think disrespecting others to achieve their goals is the east, we wwill not support the igbos, simple. You are a disrespectful bunch and we are fine not supporting you, when we know we are ready to divide, out of Nigeria, we will push for it the way we know how to, teaming up with whoever we deem right, as of now, the time is not rife, neither are easterners jolly partners.....

Ereolamide:


Oga no go wound yourself o.

Why do you feel I'm the one to vent your frustrations on?

Fear Igbos? Stop flattering yourself mate, your tribe is the most looked-down upon in Nigeria, how can I fear someone I flog anytime I wish to.

Stingman:


When will you promote same in the market places where the northerners thrive? Your laws only target the Igbos. How mant northerners apply to go to LASU? This won't affect them. If it affects them...hahaha...you know what they would do...Then emissaries will come form Sokoto and Kano and the coward legislators would be force to eat their vomit...Case closed...

Coward..why not come our clearly and be man enough to declare your nation. Do you see anyone asking those in Benin republic of any laws...

I pity those who might be affected by this..but I don't stay in your brown roof sh*thole of a place.

No, it's Edo that will take it. Olodo ràbàtà

bakynes:

You are funny,Yorubas can't take Lagos incase of a split you say, Remember it is not a Boundary state, it is right in the heart of Yorubaland. Bring your War we are ready for you, You will tell us if we forced you to invest in Lagos or Lagos is your Father land.

Stingman:


...because they are disrespectful you will not support them...but the northerners kill you and destroy your farms and you still support them...Don't you see how irrational your comment is? Lies, envy, deceit, treachery is your hallmark.

Anyway, don't believe me, just watch.

Lmaooo. I need to know who your dealer is for you to even think Lagos won't be part of Yorubaland if Nigeria breaks up. Lagos that's part of DAWN commission. Maybe you'll move Lagos from its current location to Edo state. The whole Edo-Lagos nonsense ends on the pages of Vanguard, Punch and Nairaland. You're still in 16th century mode. Wake up

A TRIBAL LANGUAGE IS MEANT FOR MEMBERS OF THAT TRIBE.

IT ALLOWS DEM TO COMMUNICATE EXCLUSIVELY, EXCLUDING ALL OTHERS (NON MEMBERS).

YORUBA THINK BY FORCING US ALL TO LEARN THEIR LANGUAGE, WE WILL STOP BEING IJAW, IGBO, URHOBO, ITSEKIRI, IBIBIO EFIK, IGALA, IDOMA.

ONE QUESTION, WE ARE ALL SPEAKING ENGLISH, DOES IT MAKE US ENGLISH.

YORUBA WILL LEARN IN A HARD WAY WEN FOREIGNERS START USING THEIR LANGUAGE AGAINST THEM.

IT WILL HAPPEN.

historyworld031:
My Igbo friends, you guys are playing fast and lose with history.
First of all, please stop confusing Edo-state and Edo.
Edo-state is a land while Edo is a people.
So you can't "carve" anything into Edo.
The Edo are the citizens of the precolonial kingdom of Benin which had current Edo-state and Delta-state (Bendel) as subterritory.
Therefor Ika-Igbo are Edo, no land was carved into Edo state, know history well before talking.
Most people stupidly think that Benin Kingdom and Benin City are the same thing, but no, Benin City is only the capital of the kingdom.
Languages don't own land, kingdoms own lands.
The fact that my brother speaks Igbo doesn't make him anyless my brother.

Have a nice day.

Efewestern:


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.

CONFAMA:


You cannot eat your cake and have it. Lagos is home for all.... bla bla bla.

When the Lagos special status bill was deliberated in the national assembly, your reps and political leaders led the coalition to shut it down.

Hence if their isn't any special status attached to Lagos, I don't know why they cannot implement the same law that has already in use in imo and anambra for years.

oodualover:
When you think ibo people- an ethnic that have been agitating for a seperate republic will support this law, you might just end up becoming stunned. Hausa people that have always resist any call for disintegrating this country are not even bothered about the effect- whether this might divide the country more, and probably split the country. No! Hausa people are not perturbed. But it is ibos, people that have been proponent of Nigeria balkanization that are dismayed by the bill.
This implies that ibos don't want Nigeria to split. They just pretend they do because they are confused and don't know where they stand or what they want. Hausa people are the ones that should oppose the bill the most.
Ibos have just shown us that they are the unity beggers. Yoruba people are already taking the neccessary steps to be autonomous-regionalism or a seperate Yoruba country

deomelllo:

Same way they celebrate and jubilate at every negative news about Lagos, they were even jubilating when the special status bill was denied.

These are self loathing and aimless people with zero self worth and sense of belonging.

Amarabae:
The social media is bubbling over a new law passed by the Lagos State house of assembly that made it compulsory for anyone seeking admission into Lagos State University to have a credit or pass in Yoruba language and also for the teaching of Yoruba language in all primary and secondary schools.
Ndi Igbo ibem, what is wrong with the law?
Why the noise?
The yorubas have shown the country again that they are proud of their identity and Lagos belongs to them which I agree, Lagos is a Yoruba state, argue with your shadow.
This is a time for us to think, Igbos,
We should be promoting our own identity like language, music, arts, movies ,attire etc
We should be more Igbotic everytime,
It pains me to see some Igbo youths busy trying to be more Jewish than Igbo,
To them, being Jewish is better to them than being Igbo,
Odinani is fading away and some are sweating to promote Judaism whereas the Israeli government are maltreating African immigrants in their country.
We are promoting Judaism while allowing Igbo identity to be fading away.
What a shock!

It pains me to see some Igbo youths busy online arguing and fascinating about how the minorities (ijaws, itsekiris, ogonis etc) will join Biafra.
How will they respect Igbo nation when you have painted yourself as beggars before them,
You hate the word homogeneous Igbo nation, you are only interested in teaching your children how how Phillip effiong was ojukwu vice therefore the whole of South south is Biafra yet if I ask your kids who Flora nwamkpa or mbonu ojike is, they will not know because you didn't bother to teach them.
Instead of talking about Igbo land issue, you are busy arguing on why south south is not in map or geography.

Who did this to us .

I love my Igbo ethnic nation and I am proudly Igbotic by nature, we need to be more ethnocentric as Igbos, enough of being politically correct as Igbo.
Love yourself.
Be proud of your Igbo identity
Showcase it.
Drop the defeatist mentality.
I have sworn that my little baby boy will learn from me how to speak fluent Igbo from small age, not just Igbo but his fathers Anambra dialect.
.
Kudos to Lagos government.
Let the Igbo governors follow suit.
And finally, Lagos is Yoruba land no matter the amount of investment owned by non indigenes just like Enugu is Igbo land.
There is an Igbo adage that says "O biara ije nwe ula "
Keep your branch anywhere but move your headquarters to Igbo land.
Return your investment home,
Use your brain.
Igbo land is bigger than Rwanda ,Singapore and Israel in size yet these are countries,
Return your investment home.
The people you are buying their lands, paying taxes to and investing in their land don't appreciate nor like you.

Aku ruo uno, Biko o.

Afam4eva:

Unfortunately, we found ourselves in the long side of history else we wouldn't leave our land in the first place to come to Lagos.

bakynes:

You need to understand the way most Igbos reason. Since Lagos is now Cosmopolitan,they expect us to drop everything that has to do with its history, roots ,Culture,Tradition and Language just to make them happy.

Awolowo knows what he was saying when he said there is nothing like Nigerians in the real sense of it like we have English people,Scottish people because they are a people of one tongue and language. Everybody else seems to understand these and take caution when outside their region. But it seems only Igbos do not understand this narrative, they feel they should have equal right with you on your own land but you cannot have equal right on their own land.

it was even their kins man in the person of Ironsi that change the system of how we lived according to our regions. So they should take their complain to him in the grave.

whether they like it or not we will not erase our culture and language in Lagos because it is Cosmoplitan. Until Igbos realize that we are not one people but only agreed to live together in one big space called Nigeria with every ethnic nation to their boundaries the better for them.

letusbepieces:


Nwanne, they should keep off completely and go for their ewedu yoruba women. It will help Afonja protect their culture.

Ndiigbo should proscribe yoruba marrying from us, to help yoruba preserve their culture.

It is an act of kindness. The should leave our igbo sisters alone.

I am very serious about this and will lobby for such proscription from Ohanaeze and south east govs.
