missed you Tentebo soldier #Zeeworld.

Why I speak the way I do?

Sincerely speaking, I want to tender an
unreserved apologia to my colleagues and all
those who feel that my language is
obscurantist.
The truth is that I do not set out
deliberately to mystify my audience, to
deposit my audience in a portmanteau of
indecipherability or in portmanteau of
conundrum. No, no, no, no! Far from it.

The cosmic force would not allow me to do
that. But, you see if you ask homo sapients
who have interfaced with me for close to
twenty years now, they would tell you that I
no longer speak high sounding language. I
have reduced it radically.

If you have the opportunity to listen to my
speeches or debates ten, fifteen years ago,
then it would have been a different kettle of
fish all together. So, I am convinced that I’ve
tried, I am trying and I will continue to try to
ensure that my language, or my idiolect is as
limpid and as diaphanous as possible.

But, let me say that I am an omnivorous
reader and I put my nose on the grinding
stone to read for more than 7 hours a day
when most innocent men are sleeping, and
night marauders are doing their business. I
am on my table, in my Library for 7 hours.

And that has been on for over twenty years.
And like I always tell people, the dictionary
for me is not a reference point; the dictionary
is a vade mecum, a constant companion.

I spend on the average not less than an hour a
day referencing the dictionary for the past
twenty to twenty-five years. So don’t be
maniacally bewildered if I speak most times,
from what I draw while reading. But, really,
the intention is not to deliberately befuddle
or obfuscate my presentations on the floor..........
