<p>By Mbe Nwaniga</p>
<p>ABUJA (Sundiata Post)</p>
<p>I support Lagos in its Yoruba Language Preservation and Promotion Law
 because it aligned with my federalist ideology.We cannot operate a 
uniform law in a federal union.Let there be Shari’a laws in Kano and 
Omenala laws in Enugu .<br>
Road signs in Lagos should include Yoruba language texts and let the 
road directions to Trans-Ekulu ,Enugu or Aba from Owerri include Igbo 
texts.</p>
<p>We know we are not “one people” yet we keep living in denial.I have been asking that a policeman who can<span class="gmail-text_exposed_show">not
 speak Igbo or understand the culture should not be sent to Enugu 
state.Do not send Mbe Nwaniga to Gboko in Benue to become a policeman 
because he can’t function properly there.He won’t even risk his life to 
protect the Tiv from Fulani or vice versa.</span></p>

<p>Tinubu,Buhari and this APC government should implement the El Rufai Committee recommendations immediately to save Nigeria.</p></div></div>
