DerideGull: First of all, I am not Yoruba. And as an Eboe man, you should know that not everyone who disagrees with your perspective is Yoruba. I have cousins who are not Igbo, studying in Anambra and yes, they were made to take Igbo language classes in secondary school. Afterall, kids are taught French in our schools, so what makes the teaching of indigenous languages so different? 13 Likes 1 Share |

deomelllo: So the ONLY remedy when laws are seen as ultra vires, otiose or unwarranted is to lobby to amend the constitution or change the law? Pardon my asking, what did you study in school? |

hammer6F:Everybody is not supposed to be Yoruba but they must know Yoruba. Lagos is Yoruba land so the state government must plan it's workforce. No point educating people who cannot communicate in Yoruba when they graduate, they would be less useful to Lagos economy. You must not forget that with restructuring Lagos will merge with the rest of the SW. You prepare for Biafra by opening Radio Biafra while we tend to be more COWARDLY in approach. Time will tell but the reality is this is just one of many moves that we will be revealing one by one. . 14 Likes 1 Share |

LaudableXX: Bro, Lagos is to the south wat Abuja is to the North. Port Harcourt is to the south wat Kano is to the North. If Lagos is now a village like Anambra and Osun, just tell the people mistaking it as a capital city of the south to leave. Politics dat dont generate wealth, will generate poverty and all this your twisted presentation generate poverty via killing valuable time. 1 Like |

I am an Igbo man, i get fed up very quickly and not into long dragging. I am happy to park all my things to my village empty handed and start all over again. But will Yoruba and Hausa allow me keep my life in my village. If Nigeria cannot work, let Biafrans go peacefully. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

anibirelawal: An inferiority complex is when you feel the need to make the teaching of your language in your state compulsory despite the fact that most people living there can already speak it just to reassert your supposed dominance in said state. I don't really care about this law as I don't and have no plans to live in Lagos but it really reeks of a sense of insecurity on the part of the Yorubas. 3 Likes |

Ngozi123: No you are the one with such a complex. You accept that YOUR language is dead and buried. We do not accept this for Yoruba. We have a vision that one day our kids will learn calculus and quantum mechanics in Yoruba. That they will write programmes in Yoruba. Yes we will completely replace English why? Because we believe in our selves. It is a profound inferiority complex with paranoid delusions of self reference that would believe this targets anyone. Let me share something that you do not know. Not so long (1637)ago a guy called Isaac Newton wrote a profound work called the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Matematica. He was an English man. He wrote itin Latin. Why? English was considered backward. The language of instruction in Europe in those days among the elite was French and Latin. Where is Latin now? And English? You will still find Latin in anatomy textbooks maybe. Our vision is based on how far we believe we can take our language. Your spiteful nature makes you think you are the target . You have surrendered and acquiesced to the idea that English is superior to your language. We will never do that. Now Every language has a signature homeland or homelands. Lagos is a Yoruba homeland with an exciting future in media ,radio, cinema and so on. It is going to be massive. Be happy for us ![]() 20 Likes 2 Shares |

LaudableXX: Anambra State doesn't have the luxury of benefiting massively from immigration of Nigerians from other states on such a large scale. You're comparing apples to oranges here. If Anambra State was developed by people from across Nigeria, and their resources, on a large scale and still decided to do this then you'd have a point. 1 Like |
