“There is no problem confronting Lagos today that requires the Governor to speak Yoruba to provide a solution.” So Tosin, what can you call what Governor Sanwoolu doing in this video?

In a system that works, the governor doesn’t need to go speak Yoruba to people trading on rail lines, he’ll put up institutions to checkmate this and ensure that petty traders won’t be able to access rail lines and those who do will be arrested and prosecuted

Ok

@Acestagfredx You don’t have any counter to what he said and he is very correct.

@Acestagfredx I don’t need to counter anyone ideologies of anyone all I know is YOU CANT GOVERN A PEOPLE YOU CANT SPEAK OR UNDERSTAND their local language

Despite the Yoruba he spoke there, the train has not worked. That aside. I was in Lagos pre Civilian Rule and during certain time under Fashola as gov, no one dared go near the rail line, due to enforcement, not due to Yoruba speaking photo show Progress is not Yoruba dependent

No one is saying Yoruba is progress dependent but the ability not to be able to communicate in your local language in a state you want to Govern is a No . This same thing can you tell an Hausa man? You people are just funny !

To be honest you are the funny one. You cited funny (near useless) example and you have been corrected, but you no go gree. See, remove your tribal spectacle and face the fact that we need real progress. Real progress is not Yoruba language dependent. Stop thinking backwardly!

This take get as ee be. Should every President be a polyglot that speaks over 520 languages that we have in Nigeria to preside over the country so he can speak to every community in their local languages to preside over Nigeria?

We are talking about sub Nationals ie State level NOT President and it does not take away the fact the president should not be able to speak the language of his country base on his ethic

In well-functioning places, governors don’t need to repeatedly warn people to stay off railway tracks. The government simply restricts access to such areas and enforces strict penalties for violations.

Ok

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 APC people wan use yoruba bamboozle us.

I agree with you, fluency in Youruba speaking should be a prerequisite for being a governor of Lagos state. I only hope that when an Ibibio man who can speak Yoruba fluently contest for election to be the governor of Lagos state that you'd vote for him

No we won’t That’s where his root comes to place. Just like an man from Enugu won’t vote for a man from Ebonyi become governor of his state

@aikmamah Ebonyi is too far Abi? What about a man from Osun State?

@aikmamah How many languages do they speak

Or the one at Mile 2,Oriole axis...Yoruba ponbele ni @jidesanwoolu used to communicate to people. Appeal and give stern warning at the same time

And what’s the impact of his speech on their everyday lives? You prefer show offs to actual work

A working government doesn’t need the governor personally shouting in Yoruba before traders leave a railway line. Build systems. Enforce rules. Protect lives. Yoruba fluency is culture. Governance is competence. That’s why we are still backward as a nation.

So SanwoOlu would have needed an interpreter to communicate with these women and traders?😂😂. Omo, you have a point!

Grv should stop being lazy 4yrs is enough for him to shame them. Adeleke went from not having waec to security expert and gorv just 4 yrs if he can't handle this how will he handle bigger issues..it doesn't take a year to learn yoruba, he should shame them for the witch hunt

Na una dey rate the guy

When the train started working people will definitely stop being there, but they just talk and no action and better still he build a market place for this people.

Lagos is not even a Yoruba word. You government should invest in adult education for better future

Those that have been running the affairs of Lagos state since 1999 are foreigner that's why Lagos is still what it is today... We need a Yoruba speaking to move the state forward

The people he was speaking Yoruba to in that video could be from any State in Nigeria given how metropolitan Lagos is. Just to mention.

Why would a governor or any aspirant of any region would not be able to speak very well the language of such region. English is only official when need be not for communication when you want to address the indigenous people of your region.

The silence & attention from the women was primarily because the warning was "clear & loud", communication was 💯 Many times, esp for warnings, the language of communication is crucial 👌

Will he speak Igbo at Alaba market too?

Compensating for a failure in government. Changing behavior doesn't require threats issued by the chief servant of the people. We all agree Lagos is a metropolitan city until it comes to acting accordingly

A state like Bayelsa , Rivers , Edo , Delta etc that have more than one language, do you expect the governor to know all the language before being election. His business is governance not language or linguistics

I am not from those states and that’s none of my business

Did the people eventually leave though? The Agege guys are still there

And I really love this one from sir sanwoolu

Bat speaks Yoruba and he has been disastrous!

How will Chinedu relate with the market women's? He will need interpreter to interpret for him sha. He wants to govern a state where he doesn't have any idea about their language, culture and traditions

So him speaking yoruba here solved that problem¿¿¿...... 😂😂 E don be for us for this country

So as he is pursuing them from there is normal in your own eyes. Ah aaah This is serious

Was it the government that created the space for them to mis use b4 , lets the be realistic for once in this country , is a railway track meant to business amd market space , there are other places they can use comfortably in oshodi but they wont go there . My naija people 😂😂😂

You lots are crazy

You're just telling us how backwards his Citizens are in Primary Education 😂

the traders to Sanwo Olu: come down from your high horse, let's talk

Please what native language would kogi governor speak for people of kogi?

On one hand: Lagos "is a mega city". On the other hand: your post/opinion. Ọmọ, nobody dribbles more than a person with an agenda. Nobody, sẹh! Not even Messi.

What solution did he provide after speaking Yoruba??
