For those of us who know this former member of the lower house very well, we know that his speeches does two things to us: first, it makes us laugh and second, it leaves us confused as we try to break down the meanings of the grammar in our heads.
Not to mention the fact that you’ll always need a dictionary by your side to keep up with his pace.
Please enjoy the Independence message of our self styled Grammar Director, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon:
“As we celebrate our flag and shambolic autarky at 52, we must realize that Nigeria is still more of a geographic contrivance as has been rightly posited by Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Not with our centrifugal excrescences preponderating over our centripetal proclivities. It’s a matter for mental pabulum that we are daily drifting into our ethnic cocoons.
We still remain one country with disparate ethnic agendas and I can say it for the umpteenth time again that we must sit down in a sovereign national colloquy to discuss the basis for our nationhood. Anything short of this is just vacuous scahiamachy.”
Please readers, start interpreting this message, while I go get myself two tablets of Paracetamol and a glass of water.
