    Hon. Obahiagbon appears to have finally mastered his art having shed the rhetorical excesses of his earlier years. Now, his flamboyancy is well-calculated to grab the audience attention without derailing from his core message. This is arguably Nigeria's most skilled orator at the present moment. I salute his candor and moral vision. Let the youth arise to OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

    well his message is concurred and weight, some people are complaining about his grandiloquent style of speaking or his high vocabularies exaggeration, I think his exaggeration is vital in this kind of mix registered bodies or people of various disciplines ,people should don't also forget that ,so many words in English are borrow from greek, Spanish, latin, I watched one of his segment days ago, when he used the word (Risorgimento) I quickly recalled that I saw a street in Italy called Corso del Risorgimento, but when I open the English dictionary, I found the meaning, and besides English is dynamic and it change time to time.

    Probably many commentators here did not listen to the whole delivery. He had some big words to warm up and charge up his audience, he then delivered a short, coherent analysis of youth unemployment and even suggested a holistic solution. Anyone who did not understand this delivery is not
    fit to be in that university.

    If anyone knows of any other way of reaching the youth, that is better than this, please try and help, because we need people like honorable Obahiagbon to help bring Nigeria out of this present predicament by creating awareness for the people. I think this man is very intelligent in creating a way to successfully engage the students and captivate their minds, since some of the student may not be paying the much attention needed to get the most message. Don’t judge, but bring your own solution to the table.Please always promote positive energies which is love and not hatred, for this is the secret of divine blessing to any individual or country.

    I read the comments here and I see a lot of hate. You should leave the phoney grammar aside and listen to the message he was passing to the youth. I agree with all he said. Also if you look at the English he spoke, in situation where he used those phoney words, he still used a meaning word as well.
    I believe his method of communication is engaging as it's different to what we are use to and it keeps the listeners paying attention, so stop the hate if you don't understand what he's all about.

    In this life nobody knows it all. every brand new day there are brand new words. it is good to make a thorough finding before criticizing these words. Mr patrick is making sense but to those whose knowledge are very shallow they think his not making sense and majority of them are just high school certificate holder or maybe National diploma which is also known as associates here in the united state or even they have bachelors degree so because of that they think they already know what someone that has a doctorate degree has. There are bunch of new things out there for everybody to learn just take your time to learn them and stop criticizing.

His critics should look beyond the words and focus on the message.

This is a Father, a political figure that has achieved by all standard. He left all and where he could have been that day to honor your invitation, he stood all through his presentation and at the end he invited the students to stand up in solidarity just for a few seconds, and a few of them had reasons not to stand. This is it, this is how it starts,, the so called future 🚶🏿‍♂️🚶🏿‍♂️🚶🏿‍♂️🚶🏿‍♂️.

    The message passed in this presentation is as clear as day and night. However, if you find yourself in the "horde" that didn't understand what was said here then you have fundermental english comprehension setback. Sorri nobi my fault.
