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.

When i saw the news, i just didn't bother. Maybe if we continue like this, Nigeria will just implode and explode on it's own.

if this was done in a northern state, everyone will open their dirty mouth and call it Islamization.

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.

MADBUTTERFLY:


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.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed

IF IGBO CAN DENY MARRIAGE TO FELLOW IGBO.

WE CAN PROSCRIBE MARRIAGE TO YORUBAS AND ANY FAMILY THAT DARES, CONDEMN AS OSU.

I have long hated yorubas marrying igbos and i never hide it even from dem.

I will continue to speak up against it until it is ban.

letusbepieces:



u are still chest beating about ur phantom discriminatoy yoruba only legislation.

I am more interested in proscription of Yoruba from marrying Igbos.

In Nigeria we all have our interest and dislike.

Soon we will pressure Ohanaeze and South East Gov to declare anybody that marry Yoruba family Osu.

As for SS oil companies they must surely now relocate to Warri, Port Harcourt and Uyo.

Federal Gov must build deep seaport in Delta, Rivers and Akwa Ibom.

Yoruba have done their own, we must surely do our own.

anibirelawal:


Please carry ON ,we aint gonna stop you!

letusbepieces:
Lagos loss will be SS/SE gain.

For long people in these region have suffered, died and payed the ultimate price which Yoruba gained.

We travel for hours to invest and contribute to lagos economy, many die on the way.

Our resources stationed there.

Becos of them, we dont have seaport, airport.

Today the yorubas have shot themselves in the foot and people like me will take dem to the cleaners using this excuse.

Imagine a deep sea port in delta state, Rivers and AkwaIbom.

Imagine these three states having their oil company stationed there.

I think, many of the militant ill disappear and economic boom will blosom.

THIS IS MY ONLY CONCERN


AFONJA PIGS, STAY AWAY FROM THE IGBO WOMEN OR LEARN THE IGBO LANGUAGE

Greenback:
This is kinda absurd,lagos is a complex cosmopolitan city that attracts potential undergraduates from the entire nation.



shame on you,cos you paved the way for others to start attacking the Igbos otherwise,what the hell has the igbos gotta do with the law,is your thread/topic about the Igbos? Why did you have to bring the Igbos into this thread and pave way for others to start a tribal war? Are Igbos the only non yorubas in Lagos?
Only a few lines of your opener is focus on the topic and the bulk of it is on Igbos. Now every poster is commenting about the Igbos.

And besides,i dont see how this will negatively affect the Igbos who are resident,in their thousands,in Lagos as most Igbo kids are very fluent in the yoruba language,so whats the fuss all about?
Seun lalasticlala oam4j,this thread is misleading.

Go and preserve you shitty culture by telling the abookis to learn Yoruba in your market places...

You know they don't talk like the Igbos...They just do it.

When they react with emissaries from Kano and Sokoto..you little cowards will be forced to repel the law...

Amarabae:


There is nothing silly about the move.
The law is made to ascertain their ownership of Lagos.
I can't drag ownership of a city when I am a non indigene there, it's stupidity.

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...

ConcernedNL:


How old are you really?

The law has been set, hausa, igbo, kanuri, whoever would abide by it simple.

Why wait for hausa emissaries, why not send your own emissaries, abi....

At this stage, we as yorubas are becoming less and less concerned about what you will say or do, whatever it is bring it on, especially not the igbos....

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

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.

These people know what they are doing...Their focus is LASU where lots of Igbos gain admission. How many northerners or Ijaws are seeking to go to LASU?
