General Muhammadu Buhari, an icon of unity and religious tolerance meets The Archbishop Of Canterbury while in the UK.
GEN. BUHARI WHILE VISITING THE ARCHBISHOP EXPRESSED HIS CONDEMNATION AGAINST GAY MARRIAGES. HE ALSO EXPRESSED THE NEED FOR ALL TO WORK TOGETHER FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD...

talktimi: ..."you cant send 6 billionaires to jail, not in a democracy" quotation taken from Mario Puzo's Omerta which i find true of democracies the world over. Mark my words Buhari if elected president will have a harder time fighting corruption as a civilian president if not a downright almost impossible task. Why do i say this ? He will have to dine with a lot of "devils" before he can get to Aso rock which he has already started doing, how will he now turn round to fight them again ? His tenure will simply be cut short again. Besides corruption is more endemic amongst we the populace than the ruling class so i suggest the battle against it be started from our homes, offices, schools etc before graduating to our political and other leaders eg the recent recording of corrupt police officers. When those in authority know that the people will kick if they are found wanting, then they will sit up...

***Peep inside the bar and saw talktimi drunk and saying trash....***
***Slap him and tell him to listen to Kas...***


My Opinion: This country can go nowhere without someone like GMB as president. His personality alone will scare looters and keep them in check. Just watch as many ppl will elope once he become president. Some of you don't seem to know the power the president possess either with good intention or bad. Look at how a clueless civilian president with no military and aso rock background is misusing power not to talk about the opposite. You can bath from the leg or the body the best way is from the head. At this point GMB seem the only option with enough political clout and mass support.

jim jones: the sahara reporters guy tried, innit...but he didn't have to go and start making some sh!t up. so i'll just address his made up sh!t:

4. gargantuan(NOT gargantua!) gaga - he aint referring to any 16th century bullsh!t. gargantuan, amongst other things, simply means "of immense size", and gaga in this context refers to irrational $h!t. so the high chief is saying the rivers crisis is massively irrational/nonsensical. simples. so of course, the sahara guy was on track until he took decided to push his luck by taking us to the 16th century.

5 and 6 go together(when spelt correctly, of course!). like @richardbry pointed out, it's "mene, mene, tekel, upharsin" from daniel 5:25. no further elucidation required here as @kgdavid and @adenlemmanuel done did so already.

*...meander the interstices of eschewable cataract* - well, here's one for yo a$$! while interstices(plural) means small narrow spaces between stuff, eschewable is not a word. it's one of those words obahiagbon creates in order to drive his point(you know, like kakitomoboplutocracy). obviously created from eschew, eschewable would therefore mean, that which could be eschewed(haha!). cataract in this context should mean a furious/violent downpour of kasala.

**for a good number of the other phrases he used, like transmogrify(metamorphose), terminus a quo(starting point), fons et origo(source and origin), terminus ad quem(end point, destination), etc, etc...he did also state synonyms for the good of the lesser mortals.**

Bro thanks ...I hereby confer on you the gargantua gaga cum gaga of nairaland

richardbry: "Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin"..... The biblical Daniel translated these writings on the wall. It is not Teke Teke please

bro. i know that. the translation above is that of sowore ....owner of Sahara reporters

Austeenxx: god of Lagos!

who is that ?

Obahiagbon or who ?

3ace: Of course, as TV presenters they wouldn't want to appear dazzled by his display of knowledge. The opposite of Mr Obafaiye a.k.a oga@d top is Honourable Patrick a.k.a kakitomoboplutocracy. Then OP, thank you o.You try small.

Thumbs Up bro

fr3do: No communication
He has forgotten the very true essence of language.

Just confess you dont understand him...

daroz: Na wa o, so no be gabage d man dey speak as some pple dey think? This man is a genius

Ofcourse he knows what he's saying. Though out of context sometimes but most time in line...

Yinkatu: Obahiagbon is very vast, knowledgeable and sensible contrary to some people's opinion. He was educated when the country could boast of quality education. Evident in his rich use of English, Spanish, French cum Portuguese.His idiomatic expressions were outstanding.
Teke Teke Meyo..........is biblical as he said. A hand was seen writing that on the wall. In this context it simply means the hand writing is on the wall and everybody can see it.......to Sowere thumb up!

Yeah! really with Sowore's explanation it tells you Obahiagbon is not just vast but a genius cos he doesnt think before using this figures of speech and mixture of words from different languages. The beautiful thing is that he use them mostly in the right context...

Uyi Iredia: Thanks for the info. His term kakitomoboplutocracy got me laughing. I wonder how the anchors kept a straight face through the whole thing.

You welcome you cant help but love him

Yungwizzzy: truth be told this guy is learned but unfortunately I'm the first to...

Yes Boss...He is truly learned...

I decided to share this interesting piece by Omoyele Sowore of Sahara Reporter which he posted on his facebook page.He posted the text and explain the meaning of Patrick Obahiagbon Igodomigodo's discussion while appearing on the Saturday Sunrise daily @ Channel TV. Enjoy -

An Attempt at Making Sense of Igodomigodo's Verbal Acrobatics. The Lingual Contortionist was quoted recently, in reference to the Cross River State Crisis:

“Let me say as quickly as possible, the political “crinkum crankum”, if you like, the political “higi haga” that has enveloped the politics of Rivers State for a period of time now has all the trappings of an odoriferous saga cum ‘’gargantua gaga," and I am bewildered that this situation is of no serious concern to the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria…It is very crystal clear like the biblical ‘teke teke menoyafasin.’ It is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind...If you look at the totality of the crisis in Rivers State just now, it leaves me with two conclusions that 2015 is inherently laden with a political and democratic ‘Thalidomide.’ Two, some social scientists like myself have gone to town for donkey’s years, saying that what we have is not democracy but civilian rule. But with recent events, I say no. Nigeria is neither witnessing civilian rule nor democracy but what we have at best is a form of government I call ‘kakitomoboplutocracy’ and that is bad for us as a nation...As far as I am concerned, I can see the ship of the Nigerian state hovering around the political Bermuda Triangle, and if we do not take urgent and responsible steps… My critical history and historiography of the study shows that the war of attrition in Rivers State did not commence with the Obio/Okpor political tendency. It commenced, strictly speaking, from the suspicion that Governor Rotimi Amaechi nurses an ambition for the Vice- Presidency of this country.’’ ~ Patrick Obahiagbon.

1. Crinkum crankum: Something full of twists and turns; A thing fancifully or excessively intricate and elaborate.

2. Higi haga: (Synonym of above?)

3. Odoriferous: Giving off a strong and offensive odour; Morally offensive.

4. Gargantua gaga: Huge, widespread madness; Celebration of insanity? Was Obahiagbon referring to the 16th Century novels written by the French author, François Rabelais, based on The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel, the story of two giants, a father, Gargantua, and his son Pantagruel, and their adventures, written in an amusing, extravagant, satirical vein?

5. Teke teke: Was he making reference here to the 2009 Japanese horror film, titled "Teketeke" directed by Kôji Shiraishi and based on urban legend? (I confuse!!!)

6. Menoyafasin: !!!#%@?Help needed!!!

7. Thalidomide: An anti-nausea and sedative drug that was introduced in the late 1950's to be used as a sleeping pill, and was quickly discovered to help pregnant women with the effects of morning sickness. It was sold from 1957 until 1962, when it was withdrawn after being found to be a teratogen, which caused many different forms of birth defects, including still- born babies.

8. Kakitomoboplutocracy: A Kakistocracy is defined as a government by the worst. A Mobocracy is a government by mobs or crowds, while a Plutocracy is either - 1. The rule or power of wealth or of the wealthy. 2. A government or state in which the wealthy class rules, or 3. A class or group ruling, or exercising power or influence, by virtue of its wealth. A 'Kakitomoboplutocracy' would therefore imply a merger of all three forms of government, as possible only in the "Igodomigodo" lexicon!

9. Historiography: The writing of history, especially based on the critical examination of sources, the selection of particular details from the authentic materials of those sources, and the synthesis of those details into a narrative that stands the test of critical examination; The term also refers to the theory and history of historical writing.

When we cry, we must also find time to laugh!

Amillesauce: Firstly I would like to appreciate the Altiloquent way the guy vocal is unmalicious. At least he shows that his political views or panorama is not towards the so called military president. Ps the last time I heard higgy Hagar doe wz n one of Eedris rap. Higgy Hagar licapor haga Luju Hagar Thor Mc Hagar

You mean he will rap well in eedris style...

Grammatical boko haram
