English Course 101 By Madam Speaker

1)      On the day the National Assembly was
inaugurated, Mrs Etteh reminded House of
Representatives members of the need to register their
names, warning that any person who failed to do so
would have their name "striking out". Slip of tongue?
Perish the thought. The following day she repeated the
phrase "striking out" several times.

2)       When a motion was tabled, she asked the
member who was speaking, "are you in support of
favour?"

3)      Any time the ayes have carried the day on the
floor, she wastes no time in announcing, "the hayes
has it".

4)      Giving her defence before the David Idoko
panel, Etteh informed the nation that she spoke to the
management of the national assembly if due process was
followed and each person "answered in the affirmation
action".

5)      When the German ambassador in Abuja visited
her, the speaker enthusiastically announced that the
first place "I visited as a young parliamentarian was
a German"

6)      When the Spanish ambassador paid her a
courtesy visit with a fairly large delegation, an
impressed Etteh spared no effort to "welcome the
strangers".

7)      When officials of FERMA visited the House,
speaker Etteh urged them to urgently "make our roads
habitable".

      To demonstrate the urgency of fixing major
roads nationwide, she did not fail to make the point
of the "deploration state of our roads"

9)      When a House member tabled a motion on the
unenviable condition of Kaduna Airport , Etteh called
attention to the "two run-aways of our airport".

10)  Concerned about the increasing wave of vices,
such as occultism on university campuses, excessive
drinking, smoking and womanising by our youth, she has
set for herself the task of reducing, if not,
eradicating these social vices, which she colourfully
calls "social devices".

11)  In far-away South Africa , at a meeting of the
African Parliamentary Union, speaker Etteh stated that
Nigeria has vast land where agriculture could thrive
so much, that it could serve as an alternative source
of foreign exchange, or in her own words, " Nigeria
has fast land where agriculture is alternate"

12)  To Etteh, the comity of nations can sometimes be
referred to as "international countries".

13)  The office of the speaker has regained its aura
as, not just an exalted place, but an "exotic office".

14)  The House has become respected as "a hollow
chamber", rather than just a hallowed chamber.
