Every state school should do the same in other parts of the west, east, north and south.
Provided they are state schools and not federal institutions.
Please let us rest.

If you love a school so much, try and meet the requirements for admission even if it means learning hausa and passing it as a subject. Its even an added advantage.
No need to insult each other

We don't have time to argue with you over this "No man's land" issue, if Lagos was truly is a no man's land. I wonder why you Igbos let Yorubas Govern you in Lagos. Don't you think you guys should be out in the street protesting of Yoruba marginalizing you?

I'm glad that you pointed this out. Pray tell, how exactly did Lagos become such a big contributor to Nigeria?
Good leadership. You'd agree if Bihari was governor of Lagos state since 1999 or even Good luck, what Lagos will be..,no more than Bayelsa. Look at Bayelsa and Delta with all they have.

Lagos is what it is because of leadership.

Have you read the law at all? The law only makes it compulsory to acquire a credit pass in Yoruba language, in order to gain admission into Lagos state-owned tertiary institutions that are not more than 5 in number. After gaining admission, it would no longer be required.

The same law does not apply to federal universities or tertiary institutions within the same Lagos state, neither does it apply to any of the over 30 private universities nationwide, or any of the higher educational establishments, in 35 other states of the federation. undecided Various alternatives exist. So what is the fuss? The law even goes against any Yoruba person, who does not have a credit pass in Yoruba language. He or she will not get admitted into a state-owned institution in Lagos.

You can't even disturb us, coz you don't have a say on how we conduct our affairs, it is you people that should mind your mouths and actions before we make life difficult for Y'all in Lagos.

Even one tiny private school is much. In a divers nation like Nigeria and in a progressive state like Lagos, which attracts majority of media and international interest on Nigeria outside of terrorism in the North, the move seems rather dangerous. Besides the insensitivity, given the fractures period Nigeria is going through, this at the minimum sets a precedent. Lagos leads.

Nigeria has outgrown the old ways of doing things and Central government possibly needs to gather the best minds in and outside Nigeria to form a body charged with creating new and comprehensive set of laws for the Nation, states most operate within. If not, the lives of people will increasingly be jeopardised , quality of life worsened, by cowboy governors throughout the realm that treat their jurisdictions like wild frontiers towns where every cockamamie thought that enter their sculls seem like a good idea for implementation.

For you to make 'immigration' your basis of argument, you need to have accurate census figures, appropriate data on the number of visitors each state receives annually, and a clear picture of the proportion of residents in Lagos who are non-indigenes, as well as facts, figures and data showing what they have contributed to the state. Do you have that?

Nope as the Nigerian government is pretty useless at documenting it's citizens. However, we do know that Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria, which gave it benefits over other states in terms of access to foreign investments and federal investment. It was and still is the headquarter of many oil companies- I don't think that I need to explain the advantages of this. This has actually been detrimental to other states (not just the Igbo ones) and has caused flocks of people to migrate there, start businesses there and help build the economy. I can't believe that we actually have people here that are trying to underplay other tribes' contribution to Lagos. It's very sad.

Lol. Read your post again and you'll see that it's you who's agreeing with me.

Edit: you altered your post to make it seem like I was talking about Lagos but if you read the comment I made that you replied to carefully then you'd realise that I was referring to the immigration of non-Igbos to Anambra.

Everything is silly about the move, If they limited the law to Primary and secondary school I wouldn't have complained, but they went too far, to the extent of Using Yoruba language as a major criteria for gaining admission into any of the state institution, something we haven't heard of since the history of this nation.

This is another tribalist nonsense taken too far, In Lagos almost half the population understand and speaks Yoruba fluently, the language is not endangered, so the law is useless believe me, this is not what the state needs now.


i no no u can spill much sense like this.. wow im stunned

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.
