Former House of Representatives member Patrick Obahiagbon has sparked a wide range of reactions online with his latest prayer, delivered in his signature elaborately verbose style.
On his X account, Obahiagbon posted a prayer that, in simpler terms, translates to: “God, I praise you highly and trust in you. You are the greatest, loving, and guiding light. I pray for great success, victory, and protection for all my followers today. Amen.”
The ornate nature of his prayer led to mixed reactions. Some found it amusing, while others questioned its relevance in addressing the country’s economic challenges. Some used it as an opportunity to learn, while others were confused by the complex language.
One user even wondered how Obahiagbon communicates with the one Edo governorship candidate he supports, given his advanced English: @OHPRIVO asked, āThe funny thing is you are supporting Senator Monday @m_akpakomiza for governor. Do you communicate? If yes, how?ā
Obahiagbonās prayer read: āBaba God, this morning I say Gloria In Excelsis Deo and I say Deo Confidimus and I say Deo Optimo Maximo and I say Deus Caritas Est and I say Deus Lux Mea Est and I say Deus Spes Nostra! Prodigious success, effulgent triumph & divine bumbershoot for all my followers today. Amen.ā

Ah, my venerable sage, thy liturgical eloquence soars to celestial heights! In response, I say Laus Deo for your devout supplication, and may the Deus Omnipotens envelop us in His magnificent grace. As we traverse this day, may the corridors of providence echo with Soli Deo Gloria, and may the divine aegis you invoke shield us all in our endeavors. Amen, indeed, to the magnificent blessings you have invoked for us all.
