[s][/s]This your grammar strong o. Go n tell France, Belgium, Portugal or Dutch and tell them not to compulsory their language in school because you are working there.

I love this development , i urge other yoruba and non-yoruba speaking states to emmulate this , it'll atleast help develop our local dialect and boost the chances of a yoruba schooling outside his/her region have an inkling of their local dialect.

Lagos Assembly passes bill making Yoruba language compulsory in schools

The bill makes the teaching of Yoruba language compulsory both in private and public schools in the state. It also makes it a core subject at all levels.

legitnow:

The official language of Nigeria is English not Yoruba.

The latter is a sectional language

Michael004:
We know the official language of Nigeria is English. But the official language of Yorubaland is Yoruba. Lagos is yorubaland and the language must be made compulsory. If you don't like it, take your kids to aba, simple.

FemiFimile:


If this thread make fp, i break legs.

Daviddson:
I think this is Kazim88, with his trademark of threats and opening of countless Biafra propaganda threads. Pls have some shame, Months, and stop chasing a dead dream.

legitnow:


We have go through all this, nobody forces language on other culture.

Respect people culture and the diversity.

legitnow:


This is very backward. If i may ask, wat stop Yoruba people speaking yoruba in their house or taking yoruba studies?

Must u force ur language on others? I think it is improper and wrong.

Over 50% of Lagos population are not Yorubas.

It is cosmopolitan with a growing population of international residence from other continent doing business and living in Nigeria commercial capital city.

months:
No member of my family and never will my children go to School to waste their time learning a language that is useless in commerce, science and technology.

I sent them to school to develop themselves and contribute to human development.

How is my Igbo son/daughter learning Yoruba useful?

All this yoruba attempt to convert other tribes to yoruba is doomed to fail.

Go and teach your yoruba children their language, culture and heritage, leave other tribes out of it.

We will not hesitate to drag Lagos state government to court and get that Bill by Lagos State Assembly struck out as unconstitutional.

Just leave our children that are not yoruba out of your tribalistic ethnic domination agenda of other tribes residing the the Commercial capital of our Country Nigeria.

My children education is my priority and I am totally vested in wat they learn at School.

I want the best for them. I believe the time they will use to learn Yoruba, is best spent learning French.

There should be an option for non-yorubas in the City of Lagos.

months:
SS/SE OIL FROM IGBOLAND, IJAWLAND, IBIBIOLAND, ITSEKIRI LAND, URHOBO LAND IS FOR ALL OF US.

THE CITIES THAT IT WAS USED TO BUILD IS TRIBAL CAPITAL FOR YORUBAS ONLY.


NIGERIA APARTHIED LOADING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES.

Some Yoruba Goodies

Michael004:
[s][/s]Keep blowing grammar on nairaland instead of you to go to the house to oppose it. You are here blowing inconsequential grammar. Like o said, if Lagos likes, let her have 99.9% of non Yoruba, Yoruba language will be officially and compulsory be thought in Lagos schools. If you don't like it, like have said. Take the next available bus to aba. Good day.

legitnow:


ask ur brothers to send this thread to FP, y dem dey fear?

Klinee:
Teaching Yoruba language is not a bad gesture but forcing it on non Yorubas who find it difficult is a wrong way, the Lagos State government is trying to yorubanize lagosians.

months:
Go and ask them in the UK.

London is the most developed City in the Country but did it stop Ireland from carving out their Country and turning their back on London?


No!

Did it stop Scotland from demanding independence for Scotland?


No!


If Yoruba want Lagos as a Tribal headquarters, we are not opposed to that and will not fight dem over that but they must learn to accept that we have a right to our own Country Biafra.


Stop coming to fight us in our land over Biafra.


That way, everybody will be happy and their will be peace.

Henryyy:

Your brain must have been badly roasted by the hot sun in Biafra. Most of you are just useless confusionists. If this thread is sent to FP and yorubas end up schooling you and calling your bluff, I am sure your stupid self will sign in with an alternate moniker and start wailing about how nairaland mods and s_eun "only move tribalistic threads to FP". Any of you idiots who hate the laws in yorubaland should hurry home and stop shedding tears and beating chest as if na your ancestors get Lagos. And again I say quit the fallacy of more than 50% population in Lagos are non-yorubas Igbos make up less than 15% of Lagos population so i refuse to understand your lamentations so far. Even foreigners with far more population in Lag than Igbo don't go around creating threads questioning our right to treat our land in whatever was we choose. If your people told you igbo are up to 20% in Lagos, they lied. But I'm not surprised since you all tell lies to provide an avenue to beat your empty chest.

legitnow:


Tell dem to send to fp, nairaland is for debating. This is a good thread.

Henryyy:

Cry me a lagoon.

legitnow:


no need, fear dey hold una, i thought u own lagos? y ordinary thread they fear u?

tinsel:

Op and you don't know igbo language is also compulsory in the east from primary one to js three?

months:
All me am saying is that the language should be compulsory for Yorubas only.

Ijaw, Igbo and Hausa children should not be compelled to learn Yoruba.

This is my major concern, rather give our children French.

At the end of the day let us see who benefit most.
