Watch Patrick Obahiagbon’s Speech On The Rivers Crisis And State Of Nigeria (Page 2)

Listening to Mr Patrick Obahiagbon is sickening because he appears not to understand  the basic rules and purpose for communication; according to the Oxford Dictionary Communication is "the imparting or exchanging of information by speaking, writing, or using some other medium" but in my opinion Mr Obahiagbon is not communicating rather he is desperately trying to make an impression on people's minds which indeed ends up only confusing his listeners.
I can't stop wondering why on earth someone will recommend or elect such a person for a public  office in the first place as he is not serving the interest of any body but himself. In The United Kingdom where I live which I believe is the cradle of the English language there is something call plain English which according to Wiki is "a generic term for communication in English that emphasises clarity, brevity, and the avoidance of technical language, particularly in relation to official government or business communication. The goal is to (speak) / write in a way that is easily understood by the target audience: clear and straightforward, appropriate to their reading skills and knowledge, free of wordiness, cliché and needless jargon."which is not the case with this self styled high sounding so called (English)
I think Mr Obahiagbon is taking Nigerians for roller coaster ride and I believe it's high time someone let him know however I do not blame him rather those who continue to scratch and celebrate him but we must understand that he is not a good example of leadership unless as a Nigerian political "sit down comedian" engaged to entertain certain class.
I wonder if he has ever traveled to the UK, if he does he will be needing an interpreter at the point of entry which him alone can provide as no one in the UK can interpret his purported 'English'. If Nigeria is really serious about moving on in the twenty first century people like Mr Obahiagbon should never be allowed to hold any public office it is a shame that the astute Governor of Edo State continues to waste tax payer's hard earned money on Mr Obahiagbon if the Governor really wants to help him he should give him scholarship to Oxford or Cambridge Universities to study communication and English that I believe will be more beneficial to the good people of Edo State. Tell me how can the trader in one of those markets in Benin ever understand this incongruous individual yet he was meant to be representing them, Obahiagbon  should not be allowed to continue this abuse of language he should be arrested and be prosecuted for misleading and wasting of press time. The Queen of England will be highly disappointed and regret sharing the language with people who will attempt to recreate and abuse this beautiful mixture of Anglo-Saxon, Jute, Germanic and Scandinavian language.


I share your thoughts my brother.....I don't know why people will celebrate this dude with all his grammatical jargon. Communication is certainly a two-way thing and he most times turns it into a monologue leaving his audience implicitly confused. It's actually those who know nothing about the rudiments of English language who get exhilarated listening to him.
