What are you saying? What does Yoruba language have to do with installation of an Emir? Can you please clear the air on this issue cause i dont understand. I am christian and i dont see a correlation.

you've conclude on assumptions what you "think" is best for you..with regard to lagos state.. without proper research on the demerit of such action.

you believe "as long as it hurt igbos..you're okay"

one was even asking "why must it always be igbos reacting on matters like this..while other tribes are cool"

they're not..
igbo don't pretend..if they're not okay with an action..they voice.. they don't take nor like bullshits..and are blunt..

what lagos state government is about to introduce will be the beginning of an empire and an end of the Oba dynasty.

you guys are planning to yorubanise lagos.. others are planning to islamise lagos and install an emir..

between yoruba muslims have already made their demand known.. via restructuring position.

U ARE SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT UR BACKWARD MIND WILL ALWAYS FAIL BECOS FAILURE IS YOUR INHERITANCE IN THE GLOBAL WORLD.

HOUSE BOY TO WHITE MAN, CHINESE MAN AND EVEN INDIAN MAN.

SO, WAT USE IS CONQUERING IGBOS?

ABI IT IS IGBOS DAT WILL USE UR LANGUAGE TO CONQUER U.

DEY HEAR URS BUT U DONT HEAR THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, U DONT KNOW WAT THEY ARE SAYING BUT THEY KNOW EVERYTHING U SAY.

The white man did not understand your language did that stop him from colonizing you? Did that stop you from learning his language, and even today fighting for the right of your children to do the same thing?

What is so bad about yoruba language that you don't want your children to learn?

At least. .. language is not religion. If the state govt were forcing students to learn Islam or so. .. you have every right to complain. ...

What if it is French language that the state got made compulsory? You will be happy your children are learning French abi?

Yoruba language is beautiful. .. yoruba songs are so cool to sing.

What if you live in Kano? You will be shouting that your children shouldn't learn hausa language? .... or yoruba parents in enugu protesting they don't want their children to learn igbo language?

If any of your children desire to learn something... encourage him/he and not become a source of handicap to them.

So far as it is not immoral. .. It is wrong to prevent your children from learning what will be useful to them in the future..... cos being multi lingual is a great advantage today.

Dont mind them, they have taken our hospitality for granted and they are spitting in our face. We would implement the law to the letter and see what the igbos would do. I best advice every igbo who doesnt want their kids learning yoruba to quickly commence plans to withdraw their children from school and relocate to the east. The igbos caused the LSHA to enact this law since they were fond of referring to Lagos as no man's land which angered every reasonable yoruba and brought out the innate clannishness in them. We are ready to go to any lenght to protect lagos from the covetious igbo. This is just the beginning.

By the way, the law has already been enacted abeg.

At this point, we dont care. Igbos must be tamed. We christians would deal with the fundamentalist muslims at the right time. The law stays and the yorubalization of Lagos must go through. Igbos hsould do their worst.

We will simply drag Lagos state to Abuja, where the HausaFulani, Ijaws, Efik, Ibibio and all the various tribes that encompass Nigeria will explain the meaning of domination.

How one group can sit down in a state with about 50% of non- yoruba groups as well as international resident from all over the world and mandate all our children to be forcefully taught Yoruba?

They will explain the meaning of domination in Abuja.

uncle am sorry but compare the population of Lagos to that of Abuja and come back to comment. Olodo rabata oju eja lo mo je!

ENGLISH IS A GLOBAL LANGUAGE AND IT ALLOWS ALL THE TRIBES IN NIGERIA TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WITH ONE ANOTHER.

IT IS OUR COLONIAL INHERITANCE.

THERE ARE A FEW LANGUAGES IN THE WORLD LIKE ENGLISH, I.E. SPANISH, FRENCH AND PORTUGESE. THEY ARE GLOBAL LANGUAGES.

This OP is either daft or simply suffering from the unceremonious disappearance of their Jewish Messiah the Lunatic Bleaching Yellow Pawpaw of the land of red mud and a fraud of a nation - Nnamdi Kunu.

It is simple, tell your Igbo people that owns school in Lagos not to teach the language in their schools and see us shutting down such schools till eternity.

Yoruba is your Nigerian inheritance, it allows you to communicate effectively in Yoruba land which appears to be where you choose to live. It will do you a lot of good if you purge yourself of hatred and let your children learn the beautiful language.

If you want a lingua franca, use english or pidgin, enforcing Yoruba is enforcing Yoruba culture. Readup history. Also kindly compare those two images to show why the Romans actually had a reason to push their society.

The OP is clearly suffering from deep-seated cultural and linguistic insecurity, and is fearful that the allure of Yoruba civilization is so strong that no Igbo child given a linguistic entry-way into our culture will be able to resist the desire to completely assimilate!

Nobody with the slightest self-confidence about the value and attractiveness of their own culture would be wasting so much time on an anonymous online forum, talking nonsense about filing lawsuits to block a policy that has already been implemented. I actually spent several years of my youth living in the north, during which time I picked up quite a bit of Hausa in school (which I've since forgotten), but it never occurred to me or my parents that I was somehow endangering my Yoruba identity by doing so: it's simply common sense, as well as a show of respect for the natives of where one lives, to learn the indigenous language. If Igbos are so scared that learning to communicate with the majority in their language will destroy their children's "Igboness", then maybe they should be asking how to make that Igbo identity more attractive, instead of wasting time tilting against windmills - there's simply no chance of this law being reversed in the future.

Don't you see the irony of trying to force Yoruba language upon someone when everyone on this forum is using pidgin and english?

If someone wanted a language with more national identity, Pidgin could be used - it's much less unfair than Yoruba enforcement. Remember that French was once pidgin Latin and only used in conversation until the French became proud of themselves, stopped calling it pidgin and started calling it French. The same happened with Spanish and Italian. The original French languages were Frankish and Gaul, both of which were mixed into the Latin slang that became French. Wetin more unifying for naija, pidgin or Yoruba??
