Honourable Patrick Obahiagbon and his vocabularies

Honourable Patrick Obahiagbon is well known for his excessive use of vocabularies and from the look of things, the Honourable is more concerned on how impressed people get when he is on "the role". Some of his heavy grammars, although very correct, sounds like insultive words, like the kinds you would call your elder brother or sister who forcefully took your meat.

Hon. Patrick, who in my opinion is like a comic relief to his fellow members, but on a more serious note, it bothers me, because I don't think there is really a need to use such big words in communicating with a diverse audience in Nigeria, especially in the house. 

Communication is better when simple words are used. Sometimes, I imagine how he communicates with his family. Although, the wife once said, Hon. Patrick practically "sleeps" with dictionary. And that, to me, is quite alarming. Even the Nobel Laureate winner doesn't do such.

Some of the "big grammars" used by Hon. Patrick...

"Parliamentary modus operandi, Political brouhaha, Self abnegation, Spiritual immolation, Egocentric chauvinism, Epileptic Nepotism, Animalistic pugnacious (This is redundant. Couldn't he have just said "hostile"?), Maniacally bewildered, Gymnosophic gyration".  The list goes on and on.

He also once said: Orthonological specimen of identical plumage invariably conglomerate in the same vicinity. What he meant was that Birds of a feather, flock together.

"Is that the incineration officer? Please gravitate here with tremenduous acceleration and alacrity, because a gigantic conflageration has engulf my domiciliary habitation".

I pity his constituency. Having him represent them at the National level. How can he make any meaningful contribution that will help his constituency and the nation at large if nobody understands the load of of rubbish he calls grammar? When you communicate, you must communicate in a way that ohers could understand. Otherwise you are just a rabble rouser seeking for undue attention. In my opinion, his years in the house of reps is a waste to the nation. Let somebody mention a bill he sponsored or any reasonable contribution he made to any bill. As soon as he finishes speaking, he is ignored and his speech is seen as an unnecessary distraction to a serious discussion. So unfortunate.
