Stingman: 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. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Stingman: You mean to tell me only igbos are in Lasu? Off my head, i know friends who are not igbo or yoruba who finished from Lasu. The law is for the preservation of culture, who seeks admission there is secondary. If you have a borehole, do you care to pass the tap outside your gate to feed the neigbors water if you dont preserve your family first? Let every man of every tribe be patriotic to his own people, that is the restructuring i am talking. It is not hatred, it is hypocricy if i do otherwise. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Stingman: Is that the nonsense you tell yourselves in your camp of small minds? Your comment just showed that your life is ruled by inferiority complex. One would think only igbos reside in Lagos. Other tribes aren't complaining except you. Is it by force to stay in another person's state? 15 Likes 1 Share |

Stingman: Let me put it this way, Nigeria military is currently under fulani control, agreed? Yoruba pick up arms very seriously to fight => Nigeria Army tries to occupy Yoruba Land => they infiltrate our ranks and set us back, hholding the threat of violence over our head => herdsmen killing continue OR Yoruba says hey we will defend ourselves => We fight a little, but dont make it an all out retaliatory battle => We loose some people, true, they loose some people too => The military controlled by fulani finds yorubaland peaceful => No justifiable reason to invade => restructuring => We grow our society, become stable and developed => We are relatively powerful => blah blah blah If you want live, get more powerful and fight another day, you dont beat war drums too early 2 Likes 1 Share |

historyworld031: 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.

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 20 Likes 2 Shares |

letusbepieces: The most sensible statement here; my thoughts too. It will happen exactly as you said. Any non Yoruba desirous of tertiary education in Lagos will have to learn Yoruba. Nothing wrong with this at all. It is only appears like a victory for most bigots who hardly think long-term. The law is very good for full integration of the Nigerian population in Lagos. It will also grow to neighbouring states. But remote tribes in Nigeria will however continue to maintain their pure tradition tribal status. 1 Like |

historyworld031: Sorry bro but kigdoms do not own the land. If Kingdoms owned the land, the United Kingdom would still own half of the world including Nigeria. The indigenous people of the land own the land. The Igbanke people of Edo state are an Ika-Igbo people, and by extention, belong to the greater Igbo nation. While no doubt that the Igbsnke people were influenced by Bini and Edo tribes, they have still kept their Igbo identity. Im ab Igbo man from Anambra. I watch Ika-Tv all the time and I understand most of what they say in Ika-Igbo. Recently, there was a ceremony in Igbanke and the Igbanke people, true to their Igbo roots, started of by blessing the Kola-nut in Ika-Igbo after which everyone answered Ise! This can only happen amongst Igbos 1 Like |

Efewestern: 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. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

oodualover: The one Nigeria we have today was created and championed by ibo people even before independence. ZIK was the main proponent of one Nigeria and he went out of his way and against objections and reservations by Awo and other Nigerians to team up with the Hausa North to create Nigeria. Aguiyi Ironsi, another ibo man abolished the regional system of government and regional autonomy with his called Unification Decree, Decree 34. The one Nigeria, unified and unitary system these ignorant Igbos hate and dislike today was created by their forefathers, but in the usual ibo fashion, they don't see their own evil ways and how their forefathers created the same problems they love to blame other Nigerians for. They even started the bloodletting and deadly coups in Nigeria. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Honestly, Igbos don't wish Lagos State any good thing. Look at how they're lamenting cos of the preservation of language law. Meanwhile, Anambra passed a similar law sometime ago and we didn't have make noise about it. Very soon, we'll require all Igbos seeking civil service posts to have Yoruba tribal marks before they get considered for employment. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Amarabae: There is nothing wrong with the law but it may boomerang seriously on the Yorubas if they are not very careful . If a pass or credit in yoruba is what it takes to access Lagos institutions, trust in the next 5-10 yrs more than 50% of igbo speaking yorubas will be occupying almost all the top positions in not only Lagos but other yoruba states. The igbos are very good in learning languages in where they are domiciled for easier business transactions. This recent law may end up being a great undoing to the Yorubas because from next year, igbos will be scoring distinctions in yoruba language and may end up being teachers of their own language.
