Ol' boy na so I dey check my dictionary for those big words!  I guess you understand his accent because I had a hard time writing down the Vocabulary. I actually thought he said "conocopeus, lukudorious, Hayatu, and logging (lawmaking)." Na so man dey search dictionary for those words. Thanks man!

@ sidney nah u didnt get it right.
While it is very clear, it's audible to the deaf and visible to the blind. That eh, what happened just now is a conocopious demonstration of the fact that sometin is rong somewia. Sometin is rong wit de ause of representatives.
And eh it is eh sadonic, it is luquibrious that while we are supose to be carrying out our oversight functions, this alleged scandalous scam has degenerated into a situation where there is an ayatus, if you like call it a breakdown of continuity to the business of lawmaking.
