Truth be told, his answer got me more confused, lol. Patrick Obahiagbon, the Chief of Staff to the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, in a recent interview addressed his controversial way of speaking and why he chooses to speak that way. Kemi Filani News. I am not really consensus ad idem with those who opine that my idiolect is advertently obfuscative.
How do you talk to your wife, children and even your friends? I relate with my family and friends very warmly and in an atmosphere of camaraderie, stripped of my confutational habiliment and gladiatorial homilies.
I am a very peaceful, calm, level-headed and celestially attuned soul personality. Is this the way you proposed to your wife, speaking high tech grammar? The matter in view did not permit itself of sphinxian conundrum. We had a relationship for ten years before we got married. Why will I be perturbed from ensconcing myself in the palatable arms of Morpheus because people have deprived themselves of the cultivation of the regime of the mental magnitude? I read all the farrago of baloneys and vacuous bunkum from pepper soup objurgators.
The spirit of animadversion remains their fundamental human right. It also remains an indubitable fact that I get millions and millions of requests daily from people all over the world requesting for my verbal mentorship which positive cosmopolitan reactions have assisted my equipoise and righteous sense of pachydermatous garb. I cannot put my nose to the grindstone daily and expect to be understood by those luxuriating in a modus vivendi, verging on pepper souping, goat heading, suyaing, big stouting and isiewulising.
Has a philosophical wag not once pontificated that things of the spirit are spiritually discerned and that it takes the deep to call the deep? We will speak more on this matter of critiques and chichi dodo another day. My family and friends understand me perfectly just the same way you understand me now though, I must admit that it depends on the issues on the piazza.
It all happened when my father brought me a teaser which stated that good orators had ruled the world and you must have to be a feisty orator if you must rule the world.
As an impressionable young man, I alacritously threw myself into the whirligig of improving my usage of words by amassing new words on a daily basis. God understands all languages, my brother and I pray to God using any word that pops up. God is variously known as Jehovah, Yaweh, The Great Grand Architect of the Universe, The Cosmic Host and several other names known alone to heirophants but which names are so ineffable for me to mention here.
That trousers style is called Yohji Yamamoto. It was my own audacious statement to remonstrate against the pervasive tendency of Nigerians especially our youths that took to the practice of putting on trousers exposing their lower anatomical contours and I will do it over and over again.
When you speak to Caucasians of English origin, how do they react to you? My friends that are whites simply marvel and sometimes get maniacally bewildered when we engage, most times to my consternation.
Do you look forward to developing your own dictionary? My own dictionary? I have never really given that a thought, but there is a young man in one of our universities who travelled all the way to meet me in Benin.
How many dictionaries do you read a day and how often do you read dictionaries? I developed my corpus of vocabulary by reading omnivorously. I have also spent nothing less than an hour daily on my dictionary for over twenty years. So, whereas the dictionary for most people is a mere occasional reference point, it is for, me a vade-mecum. It may also interest you to know that there is much to learn from our daily newspapers. On mixing of languages; that comes with reading omnivorously.
You cannot but pick these words here and there if you have an audacious reading culture. My children are still growing but I petition the celestial choir and cosmic hosts to give them the gift of kissing the hybla bee.
It has asseverated that its intention is guided by the need to checkmate the odoriferous excesses of a Machiavellian and Mephistophelean cabal and I have said to myself, what a shame! What a self-indicting admitttal of the failure of governance!
What a hocus-pocus! He once reportedly came for pastors whose craze involves the acquisition of private jets. According to reports, he said: "I cast my vote for Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah and Pastor Tunde Bakare in their demosthenic vitriol against spiritual megalomaniacs whose modus vivendi has become increasingly byzantine and repulsively narcissistic.
The truth is that I do not set out deliberately to mystify my audience, to deposit my audience in a portmanteau of indecipherability or in portmanteau of conundrum. No, no, no, no! Far from it. I am on my table, in my library for seven hours. And that has been on for over twenty years. And like I always tell people, the dictionary for me is not a reference point; the dictionary is a vade mecum, a constant companion. I spend on the average not less than an hour a day referencing the dictionary for the past twenty to twenty-five years.
But, really, the intention is not to deliberately befuddle or obfuscate my presentations on the floor. Though many of his fans would live with the reality that Obahiagbon would not be in the hallowed chamber of the National Assembly in the next four years, they wait and pray patiently for him to remain of service to the country.
