Hon Patrick Obahiagbon's Tribute To Gani! by Sunnybobo3(m): 8:18am On Sep 06, 2009 |
Hon Patrick Obahiagbon says: September 6, 2009 at 2:21 am No No No.Let somebody tell me this is a huge joke.Am in tears.The grand initiation of Chief Gani Fawehinmi has since brought me emotional laceration and thrown me into a state of utter catalepsy.This was a man who inured himself in the aqua of self abnegation and immolation just to give justice to the down-trodden.Can there be another GANI in Nigerias legal firmament?I dare say i have my doubts.Chief Gani Fawehinmi was simply inimitable,puritanically committed,inscrutably remonstrative,ideologically transcendental,quixotically cosmopolitan and a ready conveyor-belt of legal tomahawks which he intrepidly deployed in his cascading fulminations against our philistine military and political class.His transition is not just the fall of an Iroko but indeed the grand initiation of an iconic legal salamander.We only hope that we didactically learn herefrom that its not so much our sybaritic life styles that matters more than the quality of service we render whilst we sojourn on this earth plane. |

This guy is a joke on the Naija polity; some please tell him we ain't interested in such big big gramma. I think he needs psychiatrist help! Gani was the poor man's sword! |

Hon. Obahiagbon recognizes the healing powers of humor, even at a time of mourning. If the words quoted here were in fact uttered by The Grammar Man himself, then he at least conformed with most of the laws of the English Language this time, and in doing so conjured up once more for old time memory's sake, the trademark spoken and written cadences for which Gani himself was renowned. |

Is this congress man deluding himself or does he think he is deluding others? |

Am seeing one word "quixotically" for the first time in my life and am over 30 years of age. The word quixotically means caught up in the romance of noble deeds and the pursuit of unreachable goals; idealistic without regard to practicality. |

z-murda: He is not a joke. I have it from strong sources that in his time, no one could move Uniben to riot better than him. |

otokx:fair enough, the word 'Quixote' has its origins in the main character (Don Quixote) in the novel written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes ::The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha published between 1606 -1615 (Spanish: El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha) . |

@ IFELEKE Is this one mourning or showing off?if he was, he would have long stoped. he has been into grama for the past 10 yrs. he is more funny than basket mouth, the only problem i have with him, is that he has never passed any message in his entire adult life. |

Hon Patrick Obahiagbon On losiing his primary election, Hon Patrick Obahiagbon: "This has made me suffused with emotional narcolepsy that The homo sapiens in the metro-political geographical enclave of Edo have opted for Owanbe-ing over legislative Quomodo dicis. Such a reckless display of narcissistic and flamboyant hedonism is capable of encumbering our nascent democracy with insidious, repercussive and cataclysmic exigencies." |
