Gbawe: Jarus and OAM4J, there are some good non-Nigerians here. They are contributory members of Nairaland also. Why not include at least one of them , in a show of positive discrimination, to foster unity , provide a 'balanced' and inclusiveness panel of judges plus aid the concept of involving some who can be totally neutral and optimally useful regarding some debates?

Remember that a Briton or Argentinian will never be chosen to referee a Soccer game between Britain and Argentina. That concept shows we should have at least 1 or 2 non-Nigerian Nairalanders as judges who can always choose to opt out of things they don't know much about but can prove very decisive in issues Nigerians may be too passionate or biased about.

For example, I am connected with Ghana through familial association but not to the extent of taking sides. My Ghanaian friends therefore appreciate my neutral opinion regarding what I think of the NDC and NPP (our own PDP and ACN).

Kats - bad judge.

Jarus: OAM4J et al,

Can we look at having a pool of 10 standing judges? For any debate, we just pick 5 based on availability, non-connectedness to the topic, expertise on the subject etc.

Akanbi_edu: I support Jarus' idea of having a pool of judges, selected based on availability, interest, and discretion of the organizer. I also suggest that debaters should be nominated based on the topic at hand. For example a debate like "ACN is better than PDP- true or false" should have posters like Gbawe,Beaf etc as debaters while another one on "Awolowo- Hero or villian" should have katsumoto,dede1 etc as debaters. The main point I am trying to make is that debaters should consist of those whose side they are, is popularly known while judges should be those whose side they are, is hardly known(Though they have).

Katsumoto:

Kilode has never affiliated with any political party. Not saying there is anything wrong with that but your choice of words do not fit his person. You refer to supporters of another political party as goons, when you yourself are a supporter of PDP/GEJ and yet you illogically referred to yourself as a good choice.

jmaine: My nomination as a Judge . . .The admirable and intelligent Londoner . . . . The Most unbiased nairalander who commands my respect . . . . .

PointB:

I believe Kilode can freely express himself, unless you have have been appointed his errand boy.

Gbawe:

Man mi, don't waste your time with the ever irreverent and divisive PointB. He cannot help himself. Imagine referring to to another poster disrespectfully as "Gbawe's boy" as a way to prjudice opinion against said poster, yet he is nominating himself. If if anybody should be referred to derogatorily as anyone's "boy" here.

The guy can start a fight in an empty bar room. That is how pugnacious he is. Anyway many have objected to him being a Judge and I rule him out also. Simply too abrasive, totally in decorum and virtually incapable of adopting the concept of respecting others. Everyone he voted against was on the basis of prejudice and this is why he votes against Kilode you even note does not affiliate himself partisanly always.

Judges should simply be Nairalanders who have always stood for what is right, have shown a passionate sense of equity and fairness plus generally speak always as if they see Nigeria. Judges should come from all ethnic groups. They may have flaws but they must not , on Nairaland, be those guilty of casual discrimination against others, unsolicited rudeness towards others and divisive hatred of fellow Nairalanders on grounds of ethnicity, gender, religion.

Katsumoto:

Kilode has not been online in a while and I deemed it fair to speak out so that he is not tagged as a goon.


In any case, isn't it ironic that you refer to me as an errand boy when you, PointB, organised a ridiculous election to elect an Eze on NL, when it was obvious to all that were trying to get OnlyTruth elected as Eze.

afam4eva:
At lest the election was witnessed live by all and sundry and people voted. Let's stop this pettiness and stick to the issue at hand.

afam4eva:
Yeah, Londoner can be an unbiased umpire.

PointB:

I can see, you have not given up on pettiness, and your fixation with PointB. Can't you for once in your hypocritical life ignore me? What is it with you always showing your victim complex? Guy, get behind me. You are not the only poster on this thread.

afam4eva: The debate has just started even without judges...

Still part of the process . . .We are getting there . . .

afam4eva:
At least the election was witnessed live by all and sundry on this website and people voted. Let's stop this pettiness and stick to the issue at hand.

PointB:

Na wa oo. What concerns you with the institution of Eze Ndi Igbo on Nairaland. I dont get the fixation of an adult on a supposedly 'ridiculous' election. Was your ox gored by the election? I smell envy! Was that why your groupies twice attempted and twice failed to replicate such simple election? Na wa oo. My guy, look for other issue to engage your time. You are much better than this sort of pettiness. Don't let Gbawe's disease infects you. Desola yet calls you 'uncle', things change in a heartbeat here. Don't be like Gbawe, as you are leaning...

jmaine: Pettiness showing through . . . . .Una go soon ruin this thread . .

Gbawe:

Guy, please don't bring your crap here. Are you never ashamed? What fixation with you? If even minimally bright you will realise you goofed to show who is fixated with who when you wanted to prejeudice opinion by labelleing a poster "Gbawe's boy". Does that not show you are fixated with others Grow up.

You are here giving your opinion even to include bigotedly calling others "Arewa boy/Boko haram" yet you can't take it when others say why you should not be a judge. Is this not all the negative qualities I stated showing up here?
