Yoruba for me as an Igbo person is optional. Islam for me as a Christian is optional. The minute u apply force of legislation, threats or duress, you have infringed on my God given choice and freedom granted by the Nigeria constitution. That is not acceptable and unlawful. |

months: Bros language transmission is conscious effort, it is not an issue of force but transmitting identity. Why should I find it uncomfortable seeing that my children speaks igbo when am not uncomfortable with the language? Languages such as English, Spanish, Italian , German. Mandarin etc that we pay for to understand it, are they not other people's identity? Are they not making effort to perpetuate them? The more a language is spoken by more people the better it's survival. 1 Like |

Pavore9: There are certain languages that are useless in the modern world. Yoruba is one of such languages, keep it in your various states and villages. i.e. Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti Osun. Stay out of the Federal Commercial Capital called Lagos with that trash. |

months: You must be very stupid to utter this bullshit. Lagos is a perpetual part of yorubaland and no amount of crying, wailing and bitterness from potor republicans will make it any less so. Again o will repeat what we have all told you. Go back to your red mud hamlet if our laws are such a thorn in your flesh. Besides, the fact that Igbo language is completely useless doesnt make other Nigerian languages so. Research yoruba language and our culture as a whole and see how the entire world disagrees with your display of foolishness and pathetic inferiority complex induced lamentations. You will just cry yourself to death with the way you're going around chanting yoruba as if yorubas are responsible for your region's backwardness or your personal stupidity. 7 Likes |

Henryyy: The problem here is Yoruba have a claim to the City of Lagos. Hausa have a claim to the City of Abuja. Both were built with our collective resources from the SS region mainly. That is not a problem, Yoruba carry Lagos and HausaFulani carry Abuja, no problem. The problem is wen the said group start attacking IPOB demanding Biafra and SS demanding resource control. 1 Like 1 Share |

Every Yoruba person here should call Seun Osewa and talk to him to clamp down on tribal wars. I am saying this for benefits of everyone because I have lost the actual relevance of nairaland since the owner has allowed this diseyto fester and linger. I was talking to Sagamite via email and dude recounted his displeasure about the current state of this forum. I believe someone here knows sagamite. He is a Yoruba man and he never fails to announce sagalicious sagamu origin. A lot of people are not happy about this and trust me Seun had better do something about this otherwise someone to else will do the job for him. You can see that IPOB noise has drastically reduced across the cyber space and a forceful similar action on here will deter people like this OP but encourage them to do something positive with their lives. Consider how long he has been replying everyone on here and you think this one has a job? Do not be surprised that you may have been exchanging words with someon in his or her 20s. So tell me, why not just call Seun and talk to him as a Yoruba man to do something that will make people like this find better things to do with their life? 2 Likes |

robotix: No, I want to learn French becos then i can relate with neighbouring Countries. In case u have not noticed, Nigeria is surrounded by French speakers. They are well over 100 million combined. Imagine the trade benefits going to oil Rich states like Gabon. People do things that yields benefit not sentiment. |

months: @ last sentence, and in fact there is. The option is to pack your bags and head home immediately. How hard is it for you? It is your likes that travel to germany and start crying about how german is taught in schools yet Igbo language isn't because "50% of the population are igbos". You are the same people that enter a "buka" in Lagos and start wailing because pounded yam and efo riro is cooked but 99% of the population are Igbo. Please spare us that nonsense.
