Gbawe is still puttin in major thought and work in this section and has my vote this year.



Voted for Chairman Beaf last year because he was the only one that addressed the refinery fraud that is r-aping the nation.

We dont need the poll system, we want an open ballot system, the mods should collate votes while we all will be on the lookout for multiple handles!

Unfortunately, PointB fails the ban test, hence disqualified.

He was banned March 27 2012 by Mukina2, and on October 12 2012 by me.

Given the volatility of this section we waived the no ban rule to not more than one ban. But otherwise quality posters are still failing it and we can't help the situation.

Andre Uweh:
I respect your choice but politics section mods are not supposed to nominate any one.

I'm not aware of that rule sir.

Jarus:

I'm not aware of that rule sir.

Not a rule yet but for proper handling of the process, forbid the mods from nominating or voting anyone.

I've done my elimination by substitution, it came down to 4, used my 50:50 lifeline, it narrowed to 2, i've asked the audience and phoned a friend, and the response is same...

PointB

Poll i.e secret ballot gives the merit of suspense and more fun but it has the demerit of susceptibility to multiple I'D voting.

In any case info from NL executive management has it that the poll may not be available, so we would be forced to use open ballot.

Ok. I concede. I'm canceling my nomination.

I really don't know what business a public forum has with secret ballot. The poll thing should be left public for all and sundry to see.

Jarus:

Ok. I concede. I'm canceling my nomination.

I am surprised and disappointed you allowed yourself to be bullied in that manner.

If there are no rules banning mods from nominating and voting in any section, why should you suddenly, in a knee jerk manner, accept one poster's view?

Jarus:

Ok. I concede. I'm canceling my nomination.

Thanks and may Allah bless you.

for fair play, the mod should be left out. Just imagine jega supporting a candidate

But that should be part of the NL rules, and not introduced in one section only.

If it's not part of the rules, then the whole process can be intepreted subjectively and hijacked.

I will let it be anyway.

there is no law banning jega from voting, how will it look like if he is seen voting.

GBAWE!!!!!

Jarus:

jarus are you the only one conducting the election? I think you need more hands to help.just suggesting anyway. you have the right to nominate imho but it should be secret so as not to influence others.

Afam

Interesting.

Let's keep the nominations comming.

Odunnu: Thot it was supposed to start tomorrow?

anyhoo sha, PointB got my nomination.

Thank you Odunnu, Wesley80 and Ujchief for nominating me. I feel humbled already. But I believe we know how things works here. Folks like us will always be made to scale further huddles. Politics section is not without it's intrigues and conspiracies. I wont dwell further on this for now.

But I believe at this time there are far better people to take the honour of politics sections. I know a man deviod of partisianship. His work in consistently promoting the beauty and opportunities in the SE via the 'Enugu Pride of the East' thread is very inspiring. His consistency in the face of opposition by those who misunderstood his intention is very courageous. Ladies and gentlemen permit me to nominate and fully endorse spyder88 as the politics section poster of the year.

Gbawe, he is surgical!

Thats sad. Last year Beaf failed the ban test, now pointB has fallen victim.
Since i'v used all my life-lines, i'v got to use permutation and combination.
I would have nominated gbawe, but the way he let Desola bully him out of the october edition of the politics monthly debate leaves much to be desired.
Lastpage makes meaningful inputs, but i'm yet to see him create an educating thread on Nl.
Coogar, too much grammer.
Afam: takes up responsibilities in Nl but never sees it thru.
I think i'll skip the nomination stage.
Awaiting the actual voting...

I nominate Afam4eva
