Hello pals,
Happy new year to you all! Am happy we all made it.

In our quest to promote rejuvenation of our political system and save us all from those ear aching political jargons that make your stomach turn when you hear them I have set out to compile list of Political "words" and "phrases" that have been abused by our politicians and newspapers (especially vanguard). I PRAY YE ALL, LET US WORK HAND IN HAND TO HELP ABOLISH THE USE OF THESE WORDS AND PHRASES THIS "2012"
Feel free to add to the list

1. Democracy (wonder how the world will feel without it)

2. Stake-holders (i've never heard white house use that phrase )

3. Corridors-of-power (disgusting!)

3. dividend-of-democracy (introduced in 1999 and have caused more diarrhea than bad water )

4. FG -set-to-create (we all know it's a lie)

5. nascent democracy (PDP slangs )

6. unscrupulous elements (very funny)

7. "God fathers"

8. political caucus (more like blood sucking cults)

9. Our-great-nation (I agree, but its disgusting to keep sounding it on radios and tv)

10. Geopolitical region (non existent in the world, only in Nigeria)

11.

12.

Please help me

11. Cabal

12. GEJ and OBJ

12. on top of the issue

These Jargons only make meaning in Nigeria

, Will set up a committee to look ,

All hands must be on deck.

Go back to the drawing boards

ultra-modern blah, blah. This should be excised. Almost every project is ultra-modern, even an ordinary motor park.

Lol, they can be so stupid. Even toilet with ultra modern facilities. If they see ultra modern, they will think its magic.

National Cake

'Don't overheat the polity' arrrgh!

What the hell is South-South, even on d 8 or even 16 cardinal points there is nothing like South-South, I guess it is all about oil politics.

Another one I would suggest we start using from next year is North-North for Core-North which has already started gaining ground on her own merit as it were.

Giant of Africa

Every project in Nigeria including borehole is tagged : "the biggest or the first in Sub-Saharan Africa"

@op is jobless

After d killin of a great figure, dey come back to Saч : he was a great man, our heart goes to his family in dis tumultuous times,
, απϑ  ofcos d most popular dumb ass curative measure: security has been beefed up around d area,

Political languages are designed to make lies sound truthful! Murderers, respectable απϑ  to give an appearance of solidity to pure minds.

Numb Nuts!

'we have drawn up a roadmap'
'we hav presented a white paper'
'dat wud serve as a blueprint'

We will relentlessly pursue the perpetrators. [then goes back to sleep]

My fellow Nigerians

BOKO HARAM[color=#990000][/color][b][/b]

1. 'The perpetrators of this dastardly act will be brought to book and their sponsors will face the full wrath of the law'(and another bomb explodes)
2. 'investigation is on-going'
3. Senseless killing in some part of the country by boko haram, though' senseless killings and bombings of christians in the north' appears more honest.

na vanguard and punch get the trademark for that phrase

'we will leave no stone unturned'
'We will fish out the perpetrators & bring them to book'.Huh
'I urge all law abiding citizens to go about their businesses without fear.Our security officials are on top of the situation.There's no cause for alarm,everything is under control'.   If you want to be an IG in naija study these words religiously & you're on your way to the top.

Reading all these posts makes me feel a mixture of humour and disgust.

Transformation agenda.

Thanks @Knowall.
I don't know when 'North Central' and 'South South' found their way to the cardinal system too,
