Jarus: Topic please. Saturday, December 29 is it.

Debaters/discussants and topic up for suggestion. The Igbo topic has been discarded.

yeeeeehhhhhh!!! . my favorite mod of the century - jarus.

lets discuss the oil coast people. a tribute to them and their land and the way forward to address their grievances. they have some serious legitimate concerns, most of which is not even reported in news.

to my igbo brothers, i am not a fan of your war complaints but id be glad to share in any discussion relating to healing. without being condescending, there is no doubt you need plenty of that.

hi everyone here as i'm new in dis great forum nd consider myslf missing al dis while..glad to be amongst u guys on here as i'll be askin great interlectuals abt some question tht has nt been lucid to me which i'l love some shinnin light answers to them..here're d questions:

1. The relationship btw the
executive and the legislative arms of government in
Africa is characterised by the politics of
probendalism .
2. Comparison of the practice of direct
democracy in the ancient Greek city states especially in
Athens and the Igbo traditional political system

How about this: Is the Federal Civil Service OverPopulated? Should they be downsized?

Obino, am an admirer of your comments. However, am pained greatly by your lack of contributions on Igbo topics. Do you not want Igboland to move forward?.

Of course I want the best for my tribe. I try my best to engender progress, unity and love among my Igbo brothers in the things I do in real life. However the tribal insults on most tribal topics here on NL irritates me. Some unintelligent nlers just throw insults and trolls on tribal topics just because they aren't from the tribe been addressed by the topic. All thoße must stop.

However I'll do my best to contribute in my own little way on topics concerning my tribe in the nearest future. Regards

For December edition, we are settling for:

Is downsizing the public/civic service needed to achieve development in Nigeria?

We need debaters.

Date: Saturday, December 29, 2012
Time: 6-9pm Nigerian time

I can judge that day.

ogugua88: I can judge that day.

Ok. Marked.

I throw my hat into the ring and i'm in support of the motion.

I'm available to debate.

This topic is not appealing jor. I for one ain't interested. Finishing the year with such a boring topic after two earlier explosives isn't the way to go.
Why not try this:

Seun's decision to cancel hall of shame thread on politics section; wise or daft decision.

That's more like it.

Suggest better topic pls. Not too late

Jarus:

Suggest better topic pls. Not too late

Other potential topics could be:
Should states have 100% control of the natural resources located in their domain?

Should Nigerian diasporeans be given the constitutional right to vote?

Should Nigeria be a 2 party democracy or a multi-party one?

I HATE DEBATE!

*watching from the sideline*

Who hid my POST

GARRI (x7):
Who hid my POST

I did.

Dont want the thread derailed.

@ all

Topic Suggestions please if you dont like the current one.

I hope we are still able to have it this month else do we postpone to next month?

I thought they had fired these Jarus and OAM4J guys

We have till end of today to decide on topic, if we are to hold one this month.

OAM4J:

I did.

Dont want the thread derailed.

C'mon, that's a LIE. Someone suggested a topic and I told him why in my opinion that topic wouldn't ßξ Good enough...

Presidential or parliamentary system of government?

I thought we had already decided on a topic.

How about this : Should state of origin be substituted for state of residence in or constitution ? I think I saw something like that on AIT .

Jarus:

Suggest better topic pls. Not too late

I thought part of your goal with this project is to increase awareness on national politics. There are many discussions in NASS that directly or indirectly impact lives in society. Too often we are reactive and only complain when we begin to feel the bite and pain of the laws passed in NASS. We ought to know ahead of time how a proposed bill will change our way of life and talk to it proactively. Our voice may or may not influence an outcome but If we develop this habit as a society it adds value to our total sense of civic responsibility.

Has anyone heard about HB.11.10.130 of 2012?

This House Bill is to setup a commission authorized with statutory powers for forced acquisition of land territories that will be designated "National Grazing Route". This bill was sponsored by Karimi Sunday, a member representin Yagba, Kogi State.

This grazing route is a reservation for certain qualified pastoralists. It is not open to all Nigerians and encroachment or unlicensed use can be a violation of law.

We need to discuss issues like this. You can make it a debate or discussion, thats up to you. This is just one of several insulting and offensive bills being proposed by members but I wanted to present this as an alternative idea to debating the number of civil servants on payroll.

WTF are you talking about? This is one of the most sensible bills introduced this year. Why don't you feel insulted when you are able to drive on roads because you are licensed to do so, but Fulani herdsmen who do not drive do not have access to the same roads? abeg make we hear word.
