[sstacman]

[deedy45]

[Rukkiee]

LMAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Kaycee2C]

He is a complete comedian and jerk. He should run a TV show about politics. He'll make more money and fame than politics

[danai2091]

Here we have a demonstration of how wisdom and knowledge are different. Yes sir you may know big words but the application of your knowledge is weak to say the least. If the majority of people need a dictionary to understand what you are saying; you have failed as a communicator. At least you bring comedy...every cloud has a silver lining.

[Harrahshow]

For real is this a comedian or a Politician

[debidebs1]

i knw this guy is a crook (cos he's a nigerian politician) but hey he is funny!!!!

[tomite2001]

what is he saying?

[mickyoo1]

political halleluyah boys omg ooooooooooo lol this guy too funny ose

[kneyo1]

This man makes sense.



[Killayut]

He counts his latin words in the sentence he makes. He is so not fluent in English.

[saliushittu]

Am sure the reporter does not understand a word he's saying. This man is rather not communicating...Oga o.

[buzo4glo]

of d bluest dye!!!!...no bi small thing...Lwkmd

[buzo4glo]

political alleluyah boiz...lol..U GOT a fan here boss..... PLs tell ur fellow parliamentarian..we might be heading to anoda civil war...FUEL SUBSIDY palava noni

[ppeeza]

this guy kills me with laughter.. this is a grammer killer

[Killayut]

@ppeeza His grammar is bad. He only uses his law terms and makes  stupid grammatical errors.

[zeeze8]

@Killayut if you don't understand what the man is saying just keep mute! I like him because at least he is making sense!

[joanezgirl]

Mehnnn!!! I enjoyed this guy so much. He knows wat he is sayin.

[woshomah]

this guy is just to much......if u do not understand him does not mean he is making sense...all the words he use are in existence

[linkeugen2]

He makes a lot of sense just that he makes the communication a bit complex to others.

[chiomaanaba]

Chei, I don die!!! LWKMD.

[obia271]

nigerians need send this dude to psychiatric hospital, cos his mentally disordered

[elaisdsas]

im sorry but to me he is just yanning nonsense...he is using useless words,claiming to be a wide reader while using none of the word he should have read...its people like this that make the international community to think that Nigerians are just fake

im sorry if i offended anyone.

[adolstol]

this honorable fool is a clown!

[folasadey]

Nigeria will be best served if Mrs Patience Faka Jonathan will marry Patrick Obahiagbon

[adolstol]

@folasadey looooool



[spicice1]

looool.. he speaks 'Heavy English' but if you listen intentively, you'll notice that he makes alotta mistakes....i.e "excepting you are saying that i should be deaf and dumb". Funny man tho, no doubt!

[namski2410]

Best video I watched this year, 2011!

[jdedoh]

THIS MAN PUTS THE ISH IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

[hayzsolutions]

this could be a pysho problem

[SpikeIgnite]

LOOOOOL @ 12:26 ...sounds like screeching tyres!!

[moji1964]

This man is an idiot !

[zeeze8]

@moji1964 he is not. He just like verbose statements

[MsCRUSADER83]

@moji1964 YES IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND A DAMN HE IS IDIOT YES

[toxukwuantoni]

there is no political ideaology in nigeria, they are all dilettante

[toxukwuantoni]

this man is something else, he needs a profesional help.

[femmy321]

@kwakutheghanaian, are you just being sarcastic or are you serious? Rulership is a standard word.

[Abiolafemi]

It is true this guy speaks big words. For me, I love the last part and I don't think those words are too big for anyone who passed thro the 4 walls of high school (unfortunately,a lot of people READ in naija, but not many LEARN. You need to read an essay of a uni graduate in naija these days).

Lastly, I see passion in this man...I know what it means to be passionate about something. This guy spoke with so much passion and I sincerely hope this passion translates to ACTION in his constituency.

[317priscilla]

LOYOlty..

[msfunkychiken]

@317priscilla ? :/ loyolty?

[msfunkychiken]

@317priscilla looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ol I just heard him say it OMG

[invincibleharry1]

he is out of point! cobwebs willl grow on my head if i listen to dis man

[invincibleharry1]

he is out of point!

[chinedumeze]

lmao! from 12:54 to the end is tooo funny!!

[Boobswanker]

You are DUMB. Mr Patrick what?

[thedapcee]

This guy needs a psychological evaluation.......

He is not communicating

[OBCBTTB]

This is too tiring/boring to watch, stopping at 50 seconds. Bye.

[funmilayo1012]

the interviewer said 'i am made to aware...lol

[yemi8149]

or better still can u imagine hi an nigerian ambassador to united nation,god help nigeria, they will have to invent a new translating mechanism

[yemi8149]

does the queen knows these words exist..naija like to speak english pass english man...naija like big big words to confuse u...thank god this man is not my english proffesor, i will never have graduated..i beg congress is a place to pass law that will benefit naija mankind not a lecture hall..na how man go shop for naija na em we day talk

[ivealwaysbeenthebest]

Why say homo sapiens instead of man?

[gboseye]

When someone opens his buccal cavity to convey a good message and ends up not making any sense to the listener makes him an IDIOT

[2ubayu]

Let forget about his grammer, although i do hold my dictionary whenever he speaks, but the fact remains that, he speaks what government and Nigerians needs to hear . ( I strongly agree with him that, Nigerians wallow in the act of Nepotism)..Job seekers will understand this better, Its a fact!

[femmy321]

" I am sort of an omnivorous reader." Not bad at all.

[soter231]

people & events...

[Ilyumini]

0:40 "...i read practically everything that comes across my way..." What's the f**king point in using giant words when there's no control of syntax or sentence structure?

[0004pedro]

He keeps slurring and slowing down because he is mentally searching for big words like ''Imprimataur'' and ''Bugaboo'' [whatever that means], to impress his interviewer ans anyone listening. He can simply speak in normal and simple english bringing in the occasional big word once in a while rather than making them the centrepoint of everything he says. He is simply showing off..

[dekzo1world]

i love u

[femmy321]

This guy is gifted. His metaphoric expressions are way beyond the normal comprehension of an average Nigerian. That's the reason why they do have issues with him. Lol.

[atinuke83]

LOOOOL>.>> All these comments are even funnier than the guy. I get the gist of what he is saying, but I am not sure there is any need for this. If your audience cannot understand you, then communication has failed.  He can still be eloquent and well spoken without using all these 14th century Latin words....Jheez

[ogilo201]

If not for this guy's big words. He makes a lot of sense.

[kwakutheghanaian]

rulership is not a word. just saying

[mcobinad]

"We were told a presidential jet flew in the late president into the country without the imprimatur of the then acting president. I came again on the floor of parliament to say "No No No". I see this as a veritable bugaboo which must be popooed by all compos mentis homosapiens". Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon should be sent to England to encourage students to study hard. At the house of parliament in London, this dude will cause a quandary and revert our stolen money in the UK back to Nigeria.

[ngwo2007]

let us not be fooled by borrowed and glorifed words that really dont make no sense,our problems re not embebed in mere use of words,we need practical and visible solutions,we ve heard enough already,we need a change.

[Turbo2three]

Absolute rubbish. The essence of a been a good communicator is to get points across well, quickly, simply, and easily understood.

[opeyemi2k]

Any translators please? Cus my Webster’s English Dictionary just caught fire!

[daz30175]

listen carefully to what he's saying. he makes a lot of sense to me

[cherrypie09100]

@daz30175 surprisingly he does, and most of his words can be found in some dictionary

[gemsfacet]

It is reflective of the fact that Nigeria still wallows in a state of metichisinal statism, cancerous tribablism, ethnocentric chauvinism, syphilitic parochialism, cataleptic kparoposim and state brigandish, of the blues dye!

[klech8]

THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND SHOULD INTERVIEW THIS GUY...

[afroblack1000]

I like this guy, I wish he's the President of Nigeria, he's very entertaining

[megachykoo]

political alleluya boys looooooooooo

[MiszPoliticalGenius]

These big big grammar of his are flavoured with Bini language...

[jvns413]

This GUY is one of the best if not the BEST NIGERIAN POLITICIAN I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS FOR NOW.

We need to listen to this guy carefully and give him a chance and stop all the criticism against him.

Those abusing this guy shows how wallow minded and stupid they are.

[jvns413]

I love this guy, he really talk sense about the probems of nigeria.I see him as one, if not the only true and sincere representative of the people.

I love his sincerity and confidence, I love his activism in favour of the common nigerians.

[onierho]

How dis guy PIKIN dey cope???

[t2udu]

I call bullshit on omnivorous reader he would've had more books on his desk, I bet if I broke into his house this night i'll find him studying the dictionary for the millionth time with no other book in sight.

[danijoe26]

word choice zero!



[NaijaPrisonBreak]

ey peeps go on ma account n watch IBB interview (parody).. its good to laff :-)

[emanny1986]

Idiot!



[queenceezy]

"MY HAPPINESS IS WHAT MATTERS TO ME" - UWaka! Stupid, useless man

[angelickis]

cataliptic parapoism. This dude needs to get a life. This ain't english.



[frujons]

there is no pride talking like you are fighting or like a toddler.

he needs to stop shouting .

[mmonye]

God he dey weep for Naija

[sareola1]

This is one of our most notable Paliamentarian!! He SPEAKS the Truth, as is!!! Listen to him. Its really funny but the truth must be said!!

[DaReAl01]

This dude must have been a kegites during his school days..smh

[msminimoi]

@DaReAl01 ikr, he must av been one of the kegites, lmao

[naijangel7]

How does the interviewer keep a straight face???

[drsesanog]

@naijangel7

I wonder! I personally would have fallen off the chair laughing i.e. lmao

[babbielove]

@drsesanog Me too... This man is too funny

[206codex]

have they used their 30 years to transform the motus vibrabilty and cocktail of the rag tail..bla bla bla .....na wa oh ....

this guy would kill me here oh ....na wa oh ...

[206codex]

have they used their 30 years to transform the motus vibrabilty and cocktail of the rag tail..bla bla bla .....na wa oh ....

[swaggerkidd01]

i laughed till i actually started weeping!!!

[debbie7911]

Sorry WHAT?!

[kummar27]

Stop shouting and answer the questions....

[kenni9330]

Very good comment. I don't know what is difficult to understand as some ppl said.

[reallife117]

Patrick my man..... U'v talked urself out of the parliament...... it is a pitiable dismal pismal...... lol

[reallife117]

Patrick my man..... U talked urself out of the parliament...... it is a pitiable dismal pismal...... lol

[ugochukwu577x]

There are so many people that I know that can challenge him very well. I have a medical doctor friend who knows every french and latin law terms, he can challenge him to a stand stilll. I can bet you on this

[naijangel7]

@ugochukwu577x So what's the point of challenging him? He makes no sense and then you challenge him based on what?

[ugochukwu577x]

@naijangel7 Yes, I know he makes no sense, am only stating that madness is relative. lol. Besides am not the one challenging him.

[campbell0555]

Please someone should help me with the spelling as i've looked for some of his words in dictionary and i can't find them... As i can see no one in Nigeria can even challenge this man!

[DubemDibi]

This man head dey touch...

[MegaForall]

This guy speaks truth as far as i m concerned...if we had 10persons like him who are serious with the legislative business like he is, nigeria will be better for it...aside his gymnosophic gyrations which have been stigmatised as a hula laboo...

[mayrealand1]

thumbs up if u thought the last minute was the funniest lol

[geelovesGod]

Making Sence,but try to Speak what People will understand to know ur grudges

[mickyoo1]

crazy twat wtf is this fucking man smoking i want some

[SonofBabylon]

I love his point of view. Too bad he lost his re-election campaign.

[noirebabe]

Isn't dis guy a weirdo, wan kil pple wif grammers!!!

[busangax]

LOL..went from PDP to ACN and then back to PDP..and he lost! Well, guess the electorates were not bamboozled

[tibex]

did he just say masturbate? loool

[ugochukwu1511]

@tibex lol..naughty you!

[JayCNelson]

1:45 he must surely be taking the piss

[ruky4love2001]

this man will kill with  his big grammar.lo!!!

[TheModella17]

how in God's name is this guy even in the house of assembly? this is bad, we need people who have communication skills to run the house parliament not an illiterate who is posing to be a full blown literate like this blockhead know as Hon. Obiahagbon. Gosh, if u can't speak english, why not pidgin or edo cos then u know that people will understand you. Now he''s speaking unexisting words to make us look like illiterates or fools.

[Jemtabulous]

@TheModella17

I'm guessing the irony of you referring to made up words as 'unexisting' went over your head. If you can't understand what the man is saying, get a dictionary and/or thesaurus; people seem to be quick to mock and judge others just because they feel left out and behind. Jealously is so ugly.

His accent may be hard to understand but his words are being used correctly; how sad is it that English is our official language but we're surprised when we hear someone speaking it. Tragic.

[chickadediva]

@Jemtabulous There is no point in communication if the other party is left in the dark. As a so called honorable, Nigerians expect him to be explicit and communicate with them, not keep a one sided communication going.

[aworan02]

Yes!!! , break their thick skull with those big English, hopefully it will get their attention. You make a lot of sense and you are a breath of fresh air, we need someone with this kind of energy in our government. 50 years of independence, No electricity, No adequate water, Roads are bad, Unemployment, No health care, No pension, crime rate is high, and a fool at 50 is a fool for Ev...............

[mettarule]

sick and need help cause the people he represent can even understand his jargons moron to morons they justv say yes..

[INDIETEK]

My heart goes out to the Reporter. He is lucky that there wasn't any highly inflammable material in the immediate vicinity because this dude blows enough hot air to set oxygen alight!.. there could have been a magnanimous conflagration of unimaginable magnitude! This guy blows more hot air than a Japanese Nuclear Reactor experiencing a melt down! Anyone get the gist? I don't!, but the energy generated by this dude's verbal could be harnessed to power electricity for the whole African Continent.

[Janha87]

can we please get this guy an acting spot on the next niaja movies pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee

[tlig]

He actually explains for once what he meant after blowing grammar @ 09:03.

[garamite09]

if u sift between the grammar he is making sense

[obaco2008]

I love thisguy! He made solid good points.

[Okuabasi]

13:11 This will be the name of my son.

[Okuabasi]

12:24 Screeching Car

[RexLawson4eva]

This guy Is my Hero

[omojumi3103]

I think this guy needs a surgical operation to his medullar oblongata, sorry he is ridiculous.

[dukethesupreme]

This dude is an overflow. I am not sure he speaks for an audience. It is just about him. He has a strong mind about issue like his style of advocacy but it gets bury in his speech that sounds like a gun fire... Hahaha!! He is hilarious...

[jegatup]

ma days did i hear him use the word "masturbate"? lmao.....

[1truthfulman]

@jegatup I heard it @11:10. THIS DUDE IS A LEGEND!!!

[hanafii]

This guy is a full. Even the British doesn't talk like that. not to talk of you who learn the English. NONSENSE!!!

[Taiwoamos]

I like this guy, he makes sense than the whole Nigerian Congress combined.

[TheBushlion]

Looooooooooooooooool

[scorpio4lyfe]

Must see!!! This is the face of an "EDUCATED delivery of ideas"!!

Search youtube for: "Professor Wole Soyinka - Nobel Laureate "

Obahiagbon... the more you spew out words the less people understand. The More Wole Soyinka talks, the more you want to listen to his ideas... NOT his words!!!

[scorpio4lyfe]

Words are vehicles used to convey ideas!

Stupidity emerges when multiple synonyms to simple words are used to show literacy but fail to convey the intended ideas.

You can be the most educated person on earth... but if you can't humble yourself enough to invest some time into knowing how BEST to communicate with your audience, then you are a waste of time and space(Obahiagbon). I have no qualms with using fancy words - I have an qualms with grammatic jargon that hinders effective communication.

[sirlukman]

This man is totally insane, come to think of it, communication is a two thing (encoding and decoding). The skills he is trying to display is uncalled for, he is acting very immaturely. HE SAID.."It's reflective of the fact that nigeria still wallows in a state of menicricina (could not pick this really well) statism, cankerous tribalism, Ethnocentric Chauvinism, Syphilitic Parochialism, Epileptic Nepotism, Cataliptic Parapoism". Silly Man

[ampleoppourtunity]

He brings out his tongue to taste his lower lip end very quickly whenever he wants to fabricate a new joke (Grammar).

[kiddtaiio]

this guy is living in a visual world

[yinkoos]

'political boogaloo which must be poopooed' na wah oh!

[ugochukwu1511]

@yinkoos lol..na real wah

[vwoke]

Big grammar or no big grammar, he's talking sense. All you have to do is just have a dictionary and thesaurus near by when listening to him.

[JayEss2k]

skip to 12:56

It is reflective on the fact that nigeria still walloooooows in a state of meticisina statism, cancaro tribalism, Ecocentric Chauvinism, Syphalictic Parochialism, Epileptic Nepotism, Cataliptic Parakpoism and state brigadish....of the bluest die! (Patrick Obahiagbon) THE BEST!!!

[bobonkiti24]

@JayEss2k lol..did u notice that the reporter ended the interview immediately he fired this round.... and please what is parakpoism...micheal west doesnt seem to have a clue..

[planetolusola]

He put his nose to the grindstone, why?? (lol)

[ugochukwu1511]

@planetolusola e wah grind him nose ,that na why..lol

[cynt19073]

Pls hv dis man bin in Nigeria cos i fail to realize dah ppl lyk dis still exist in mai country

[fedify]

Language is a means of communication.if people you are communicating to do not understand you,then you are not making good use of the language.

[Inaju3]

This guy calculatively obfuscates and stupefy the pro-ponderous of the ignoble and ignorantic homo sapient that wallow in the political feces in the geophysical entity called Nigeria…he is neither eloquent nor cohesive but suffers from grammatical diarrhea… that should saved for chasing women, there is no communication either in his delivery nor in my write uo here. we all can speak and write like this but it is useless. the essence of talking is to communicate.

[INDIETEK]

@Inaju3 Grammatical Diarrhea...lol :) You really can't blame him, by his own admission he is an omnivorous devourer of printed matter. It's a truism that "too much of anything is bad"... and, this is the sad result. Over indulgence in the indiscriminate consumption of literature results in AVD (acute verbal dysentery)

[t2udu]

@Inaju3 well said wish I could give you more thumbs up, it's sad cause he seems intelligent if you see past his ineloquence.

[PaulEazyTv]

wat wrong wit his grammars???

did I miss philosophy class??

[bar1bar2]

Oga pause, please pause, e be like say na you born rita kokolet enn ? you dey thief still dey claim innocent, if you sabi booku like this why you no work for school as a teacher, i wonder where you go school sef, im sure na all your applogial na lie, if den oyinbo catch you, enhh you go speak pigin ... idiot man , stop to embarras your family and friends, yeye paliamentarian ... cough, cough ,
