A few weeks ago, @mekkaokereke was telling you of our love of the English language in #Nigeria, and how we're unafraid of being eloquent. Need proof? Check out these "pithy" placards from the demonstrations currently going on in the country.

"Reverse all anti-people, neoliberal policies of privatisation, deregulation and devaluation of the Naira!"

Rolls off the tongue.

In fact, in #Nigeria we had a politician who was a prototype Boris Johnson - a comedic bombast who spewed Latin phrases liberally without a care whether his listeners understood a word he was saying.

Unlike Britain tho, we (and he) knew he was a clown and we didn't make him Prime Minister.
