It would seem this Edo Syndrome has spread to the ancient city of Ibadan where the special assistant on communication to the governor came up with a classic composition Igodo Megodo would be proud of. Here he is celebrating, a bit prematurely as it turned out, PDP' victory in the courts in Osun state. The case of the Oyo State special adviser on Public Communications, Mr. Dotun Oyelade, is particularly outstanding. While the case of Oyinlola vs Aregbesola was going on at the Appeal court, Oyelade, in a bid to prove to his bosses that he was working so hard, took up his dictionary and writing materials. |

An individual like this would be the perfect choice to explain why the whole of Nigeria has been deprived of electricity for the past 20 years. If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullchit, |

It's not an Edo thing, is it? Well I grew up in Benin and I know many old people ''spake a lot of English''. Oh Ibadan is learning well then, Obahiagbon communicates as far as I'm concerned but only with people of his ''vocabularistic callibre'' (like me, lol) and not mere nigerian-english speaking people. His speeches are exams, and I'm quite sure many people will fail. |

but seriously, sometimes it's just amusing the way it sounds. Listen so you can respect/laugh/or learn a new word and look it up 'google' as it may not be in a normal dictionary. |
