Judging criteria 1a: ** for realists ** Aim - measure and award points for substance (application) Competency - connect strategy to execution and sustainability. Clarification - contestants debating the pros of a government policy should get points if they are able to successfully demonstrate top three areas where the implementation of the policy or the execution of it touches society and list top three agendas that should be encouraged to drive sustainability of this policy into the future. contestants debating the cons of a policy should get points if they can pinpoint top three gaps and successfully demonstrate its negative impact to our humanities and offer top three ideas for a transformation to change and improvements. Judging criteria 1b: ** for theorists ** Aim - measure and award points for thoughts (ideals) Competency - offer insightful and enlightening ideas Clarification - contestants debating the pros of a subject matter should get points for sharing top three emerging elements or aspects in our social order that if left unattended could become a troubling challenge. The contestant must offer ideas or theoretical input showing proactive approach to adopt. contestants on the con side of the same subject matter as above should get points if they can demonstrate a counter-ideal that convincingly negate the above approach as socially-unfriendly and must in that case submit a much preferred theory that works for society. |

Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Afam4eva(m): 12:13pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
I think by now we should know the topic of our debate so that the contestants will start preparing for it and it will give them time to do some research. |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Jarus(m): 1:27pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
Since nobody is suggesting any topic, I propose: SUBJECT: BREAK-UP/SNC First round - The 1914 amalgamation - a blessing or a historical mistake? Final round - Sovereign National Conference (SNC) - the ultimate solution to Nigeria's myriad of problems? OR SUBJECT: OIL First round - Is Nigeria better off with oil? Final round - Oil and the nation - way forward? Open to modfication We have to close this out soon, so that we can begin preparation in earnest for the October el-Classico! 1 Like |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Nobody: 1:49pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
Jarus I endorse the second topic. And I want to argue that Nigeria has been worse off with oil. |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Katsumoto: 2:25pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
Jarus, I believe the first set of topics supersedes the second set because layout/structure of the federation will determine other factors such as revenue sharing/allocation, etc. |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Afam4eva(m): 2:27pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
I'll go with the first topic because that's a topic that addressing the beginning of what we call Nigeria. |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Chrisbenogor(m): 2:38pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
Jarus, First topic has all the hallmarks of what we should start the debates with, we need to "settle" this issue that rears its head in almost all the problems we have, I cannot wait for the professionals to give us a history of Nigeria and try to show that it was a mistake or not. It has got the right tempo but I dont know if tensions would fly over. Anyways on a side note, where is the fact verification team |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by lagerwhenindoubt(m): 2:43pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
HNosegbe: Jarus I endorse the second topic. And I want to argue that Nigeria has been worse off with oil. worse off with bad leadership really.. there are nations that have risen the the heights of economic success on oil alone |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by taharqa: 2:53pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
@Jarus The 1st topic might be best for this 1st debate cos its about this nation's fundamentals and structure- its the Start, lets start this debate from there |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Nobody: 2:53pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
I will go with the second topic because am afraid the first topic might degenerate to tribal bashing. "Just saying" |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Nobody: 3:07pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
I guess the 1st topic is fundamental to our nationhood.....let's test the so-called "No-Go" areas by the politicians. The topic is germane and every other things will flow down from it... The only snag is that some opinions about some issues on the SNC may not be well represented on N/L |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by cheddarking(m): 3:54pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
I definitely like the 1st topic, and would like to argue in favour if given the opportunity.. |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Jarus(m): 5:13pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
OK. We have enough endorsements already. I declare the topic settled. We are debating SNC. TOPIC FOR OCTOBER FIRST ROUND - 1914 AMALGAMATION - A HISTORICAL MISTAKE? FINAL ROUND - SOVEREIGN NATIONAL CONFERENCE - ULTIMATE PANACEA TO NIGERIA'S PROBLEMS? DATE: First round: Saturday, October 27, 2012 Final round: Sunday, October 28, 2012 DEBATERS: To be decided latest Sunday, October 21 Express your interest and after scrutiny, we shall settle for 4 Nairalanders, 2 opposing, 2 supporting. NOTE: This is based on conviction/ideology, not just a make-believe position only for debate purpose. In the first round, they will be paired, and the two winners square up for finals. |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Nobody: 5:13pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
lagerwhenindoubt: Which, among other things, will form the basis for my argument if chosen. |

SPACE RESERVED FOR DEBATERS SHORTLIST SUPPORT 1, Cheddarking 2, Afam4eva OPPOSE 1, Obinoscopy 2, Ikengawo |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Katsumoto: 5:19pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
Jarus, With the way you have worded the first topic, you can't determine which is for or against. It should be FIRST ROUND - 1914 AMALGAMATION - A BLESSING? or you can word it differently FIRST ROUND - 1914 AMALGAMATION - A HISTORICAL MISTAKE? |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Jarus(m): 5:20pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
Katsumoto: Jarus,Ok, thanks. Copied and pasted |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Afam4eva(m): 5:34pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
I'll also like to support the Motion. |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Odunnu: 5:41pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
SNC? Good start! I have to get my pen and paper ready. Promises to be explosive. . .already! |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Obinoscopy(m): 6:19pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
I'm in! For or against is okay by me |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Jarus(m): 6:21pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
Obinoscopy: I'm in! For or against is okay by meChoose whichever you are more convinced of. |
Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Obinoscopy(m): 7:20pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
Jarus:Against |
