To say that I am flabber-whelmed and over-ghasted to read the above compilation of purported quotes from our man Patrick Obahiagbon of the High Rise Trousers fame, would be tantamount to an understatement of catastrophically gargantuan proportions. One can only speculate as to whether appropriate and commensurate levels of copyright infringement litigation protection insurance were procured by the authors of the above list, in order not to incur the sort of WRATH, condemnation and tautological revilement that is normally reserved exclusively for unrepentant repeat offenders apprehended by agents-incognito, and brought before by the Grammar Meister of Nigeria - Patrick Obahiagbon.

For the avoidance of doubt, the degree of unabashedly improvisational and malapropism-laden subversion of the English language being perpetrated in a patently ad-hoc and willy-nilly modus operandi, by none other than the Honorable Patrick-Meister, is cause for deep, prolonged and introspective rumination over the fundamental question pondered by existentialist philosophers since the very dawn of humanity's terrestrial sojourn, namely whether or not the emissary in effect metamorphoses before our very eyes, into the very message itself, leaving no trace of the anticipated logical answer to be found, despite much meandering and perplexed investigative efforts embarked upon amid the swirling mists of time, ad-nausem, ad-infinitum.
