Stingman: I do not understand why you are carrying this matter on your head like groundnut, akara and fried plantain! You are too busy vibrating with indignation, fear and paranoia. Take it easy, nwoke m. Kindly note: a). The new law only applies to Lagos state-owned tertiary institutions; b). These institutions are not more than 5 in number. c). There are other federal tertiary institutions existing in Lagos state, where non-Yorubas who do not have a credit pass in Yoruba language can apply to study for any course they desire. There are also over 30 private universities that they can also attend nationwide, as well as a lot of other tertiary institutions in 35 other states of the federation, that can offer them admission. d). Even Yoruba indigenes who also lack a credit pass in Yoruba, will be affected by the law, so they have the option of either applying to a federal tertiary institution, or any other institution in any of the SW states, where such laws do not exist. So why are you still lamenting, biko nu? Members of other ethnic groups that live in Lagos such as the Hausa, Edo, Ibibio, Kalabari, Efik,Itsekiri, Tiv, Nupe, Kamberi, Bura, Igala, Nupe, Idoma, etc., have not taken to the airwaves or social media to protest against the law. Only your people, have done so. Why are you so fixated on thinking that the law is solely targeted at the Igbo? I weak o! 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Efewestern:If you ask me, I'd say the law is needed. Beyond the 'we own 95% of Lagos' chant, we should also understand that this is a state with a history, a people and a culture, regardless of whether or not it accommodates others. More so, the institution here is governed by the state and not the federal government. Probably there is a need to resuscitate the dying consciousness of the Yoruba attitude in many educated folks, which is true and needed, or that it is an act to curb the impunity of a certain people who believe Lagos belong to them just because her people welcomed them with open arms. And as much as we criticise Lagos for this move I'd be pleased to tell you that it is insanely found in the North and South East. Personally, I see it as an advantage to be bilingual. Although I already am, I believe it would be an opportunity for non Lagosian to deeply root themselves in its tradition. It is high time owners call the shot. Let them beat the drums of consciousness to the hearing of those who care to hear. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Other states are free to do whatever, but when it's time for Lagos. They will tell the owners their land is cosmopolitan. Wtf! And that's what is pissing the indigenes off. Others can preserve theirs while Lagos serves as poster boy for One Nigeria. Lagos wasn't cosmopolitan when they were rejecting special status bill. They don't remember Lagos is home to all when something bad happens. That's when they remember Lagos is yorubaland Ordinary councillor in their states, they can't give to non-indigenes.

Afam4eva:This mindset is so wrong and dangerous! There are reasons why Yorubas have kings all over her territory as opposed to you guys. There is a reason the Ooni has been junketeering a while now and every state owes her indigenous people the right to preservation of culture. And last I checked, it is not unconstitutional to do this. Lagos does not need to become a country before making moves to preserve the ways of her people. If you ask me, now is the best time even. If you aren't interested in the Yoruba language, then you have no business getting education, from primary level to secondary and even tertiary (for those dreaming of getting into LASU). 12 Likes 4 Shares |

Sanchez01: I clearly understand your point, but my issue with the law is that it was too one sided, stuffs like that should be limited to Primary and secondary, not that students even pass Yoruba without expo anyway. I believe when making judgement we should at all time reason from different angles. I might be wrong on this, but I don't support the lagos state government on this. What the law means, before you can school in any of our state institution, you must be able to speak and understand Yoruba, this doesn't sound well for me. |

Efewestern:Maybe because I was born in Lagos or that I did excellently well with my Yoruba classes as a student but the truth remains that Lagos representatives have rights to make certain moves to preserve and grow their culture and their language. If you have ever witnessed non Yorubas who don't even understand the language fight for positions in Lagos, you'd be irritated. A certain Igbo politician in 2015 contested for the governorship of Lagos and he claimed he is contesting because he understands the Yoruba way of life and their culture. All these he said in English. When a caller called Channels TV to ask him questions, he was asked to interpret 'Lagosians, I greet you, I need your votes' and that was where trouble started. An average Lagosian communicates with Pidgin while the typical Igbo language is used in Enugu, not minding whether you are Igbo or not. Based on my encounter, I am not motivated to learn the Igbo language largely because L1 speakers believe I must learn their language because I am in their land. You cannot get a civil servant job if you aren't Igbo or even from Enugu here. My point is, we are fast getting to the point where every man would answer his father's name. It would have been a different ball game if this move was initiated in Delta State, owing to the fact that we have several ethnic groups. It is now a case of 'get of of the kitchen if you cannot stand the heat'. Lagos was far more developed than any region before Independence and Yoruba was widely spoken then. I am not sure it would change now that the Yoruba language is now mandatory. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Efewestern: Efewestern: Efewestern: Fact is, you have zero credibility here and your misguided argument is based on your hate, dislike and anti Lagos sentiments. You think Lagos is a slum, Lagos is over-hyped and even though the topic of discussion in this thread is the new Yoruba Language law, but your first post in this thread was irrelevant and off topic rubbish about dirty Lagos. Besides, of what relevance is your meaningless argument? The people of Lagos via their elected representatives charged to make decisions for the people of Lagos state made the right call, it doesn't have to be right in the eyes of Lagos hating people like you, but it's the right call in the eyes of the people of Lagos and the Lagos electorates. 14 Likes 1 Share |
