Patricia Etteh's English.

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”.


cool 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.

Gaffes by other Nigerian politicians in the past.


1) Chief (Alhaji) Adegoke Adelabu: Penkelemes (Peculiar mess)


2) First Republic minister was asked a question in New York on his stand on a controversial international issue and feeling that the Nigerian government had an open mind on this matter, he replied, “I have an empty mind as far as this issue is concerned”.


3) Anambra moneybag politician, Okechukwu Odunze, who contested the SDP primaries for the post of Governor of Anambra state boasted that, “if Arthur Nzeribe has money, I also has money”. When a reporter asked for his view on a hot national issue, he replied “no commentary”.


4) Alhaji Barkin Zuwo, who stated that Kano “has surplus minerals like Fanta, Coca cola, Sprite, Mirinda and even Tango” while voting for massive use of derivation as a means of sharing national revenue, whereas Kano state, which he was representing in the senate, did not produce mineral resources. Legend has it that Barkin Zuwo once saw a number of car marts and concluded they all belonged to one person known as Saleh, because they all had the inscription, “for sale”.

One thing I noticed about most Nigerians is their thirst for big gramma,even when they aren't confident. Sometimes its good to keep it simple and clean. Moreso,I have never heard a Ghanian politician commit a grammatical blunder. Our education system is in the gutters. Smh. Very embarassing.

@ OP you are a fat liar! The quote you attributed to Orji Uzor Kalu was never made by him(OuK) it was already in the old dramas and movies of late 80's. I don't know how old you are but, you need to reduce the number of lies/false stories you are spreading.

I don't know about everything but the following I can remember reading them in the newspapers
Number 1,2,5,6,9,11,14 & 20

So they are not all lies. Maybe one or two

Number 14 I can't forget. My sister was serving in bauchi state when the crisis happened. She ran away and left all her things there when they started killing her friends. The next week the governor made that statement. Can never forget it

Bro, there are dullards everywhere, you just need to travel and see. Even smart/intelligent people can make grammatical errors sometimes. Take for instance, Atta Mills former president of Ghana.

The late Ghanaian president Atta Mills was a professor but he made series of grammatical blunders than any other Ghanaian president. Kindly consult Google/YouTube ASAP and stop washing your dirty linen in public.
