The year 2015 will not be forgotten in a hurry
This Year gave Nigerians a voice and they used it indeed!
This year also witnessed some spoken words from Notable
Nigerians which cannot/should not be forgotten in a hurry.
These quotes cracked me up,I dont know about you!

10. “Mr Orubebe, you are a former Minister of the Federal Republic. You are a statesman in your own right. You should be careful about what you say or what allegations or accusations you make.
Certainly you should be careful about your public conduct” – Attahiru Jega.....
The former INEC chairman said this to Godsday Orubebe, after the PDP party agent created an embarrassing scene at the collation centre in Abuja, trying to disrupt announcement of results.

9. “Go and die” – Adams Oshiomhole. The incident happened as the woman knelt before Oshiomhole begging for her little means of livelihood to be saved. After which he shouted out the infamous phrase. Not funny at all, which was immediately noticed by Nigerians. The video of the great humiliation surfaced online and got people furious. Soon the governor apologized to the widow, donated N2 million to her and offered help with employment.

8. “Ojukwu is a great man, he died but his manhood lives on” –
Patience Jonathan. Dame Patience put a noble meaning into the
word “manhood”, however internet users did not miss the
opportunity to have a good laugh upon hearing it. It is worth
mentioning that the former First Lady is often attacked in social
media over grammatical blunders in her speech.

it wasn’t personal” – Lai Mohammed. Nigeria’s minister of
information stated this in his speech, during his ministerial

Goodluck Jonathan. The former president speaking at a special
church service to mark this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance
Day, Jonathan reminded politicians that no ambition was worth the
blood of innocent Nigerians, adding that if we continued to kill
ourselves, there would be no nation to govern.

3. “May our Loyalty never be tested” – Fashola. The minister of
power, work and housing said this in response to a question to
god-fatherism during his ministerial screening.
