Tgirl4real:

I didn't see this b4 posting. Ermm...if u can nominate 3, why can't we nominate 3.

I have nominated 3 already jor.

The people with the highest nominations will present. May be 6 ppl sha.

Wetin dey do u sef? Why you no follow read suggestions going on? It wasn't me that suggested those 3 names. It was Candour who suggested we start start nominations with people who have shown interest and those are the 3 people who have shown interest, so they automatically nominated.

No lemme flog you o.

Tgirl4real:


U mean it's that simple?! Lol

How are u too sir? OK o. I go dey expect.

@ Drummerboy,

May be we should nominate or vote instead of likes.

I would like to nominate Candour, Enigma and Anony1 (hope I got it right). Ermm... Don't we have female posters in this section?

I don't think Enigma will show up. I think he's no longer interested in nairaland according to some of his past statement.

Plus, you're to nominate not more than two ma. So we count Candour because among your nominees, Anony1 is already showing interest. We will vote when we have more than 9 people nominated after counting out the highest nominees.

Do you understand or I should explain further with illustrations?

I already started posting b4 u made that submission. I just didn't submit on time.

Good morning. I know say una still dey sleep for your end.

I nominate Striktlymi and ichuka

Dear Tgirl4real, how u dey? I think I have to buy you coolumycin make u fit cool down read every every well well . I've already indicated I'm not in the running pls.

In fact since DrummaBoy mention secretary, I nominate you for that one

Candour: I nominate Striktlymi and ichuka

I read it very well, but I don't think it should stop my right to nominate who I wish. @ least my nomination helped u say hello.

How can 2 of my fav ppl in this section not present. The first is no longer a professing Christian. The second is not available, now you.

Anyways, if you insist. Just that I haven't been following people much. Will think of someone$

I can see that the thread is back on track. I guess it was great to get stuff off our chest before getting down to business.

So many great people to choose from. If wishes were horses, my very selfish list of nine speakers would have been:

1) Alwaystrue
2) Goshen360
3) Mranony1 (Mranony2)
4) Ubenedictus
5) Truthislight
6) PastoroluT
7) Joagbaje
Image123
9) Enigma

primarily because I have been priviledged to have gone through a number of their posts unlike the others on the 'list'.

If wishes were horses still, I would have loved a situation where one or more of the topics would talk about those practical challenges facing the every day Christian e.g Euthanasia, Abortion, IVF etc their morality in the light of God's grace.

But sadly, wishes are not horses and I am well advised to nominate no more than two candidates and leave the topics to the organisers. Given that Mranony1 is already selected and Ubenedictus is not part of the initial list, then my nominees are:

1) Alwaystrue
2) Truthislight

People here can still suggest topics. We have not concluded in how topics will be nominated.

Pls craft out topics that will encompass the social issues you enumerated above and we find a way of adapting them to the theme.

thanks.

MY NOMINEES:

So many great thinkers on this forum. You all are worthy of niminations but I nominate this two and permit I give reasons for (yes, you can call it campaigning for them).

MrAnony1 (Already chosen. Leaving me with two more nominees).

1. MarkMiwerds

2. PastorOluT

Why MrAnony1?

This gentleman with this monicker is a great nl thinker. I particularly I'm blown away by his sustained debates with atheists in this forum. I am convinced that he has presented enough evidence to them about God to continue to convict them on the issue until they meet Jesus.

Anony is patient in his presentations and thorough. I have not read him loose his cool before nor craft abusive languages with scripture. His debate with Deep Sight on the trinity is for me the best thread on nairaland (though he credits DS for that thread and I do too). Recently he came to support us in the deeply controversial thread on WOF (www.nairaland.com/1790500/word-faith-movements-doctrine-proponents). He lent his support to the thread when others chose to be silent. I appreciate that: it shows to me he is a man unafraid of bearing responsibilities.

I recommend him as a speaker for this convention and I encourage others to do so also. I trust that he can make out time from his busy schedule for it.

Why MarkMiwerds?

MarkMiwerds is an American and Mark is blind. Despite this he presents issues that even those who sees physically cannot refute. Mark is an expert on tithing. He believes he has a calling to deliver folks from the false teaching on tithing. So far he carries out his ministry with focus and precision. His 58 day discussion on tithing which he refuted, along with his ally Candour, is a masterpiece on the subject of tithing: www.nairaland.com/1548047/theological-discuss-tithing-rhymeyjohn-image123

What many do not realize is that Miwerds has profound insights into a lot more things than just tithing. His posts on Facebook reveals this. A man in his mid fifties and who has been a Christian for more than 30 years, I believe he has something we all can learn from.

I recommend him heartily for this convention and I urge others to do the same.

Why PastorOluT

Great man of God with a commitment to evangelism.

I recommend heartily for this convention and I urge to do the same also.

Hi bro, I don't think we are limited to the list DrummaBoy drew up. I guess those were the folks he could think of at the moment he posted. Even if ubenedictus or some other christian isn't on the original list, I don't think anything stops his or her nomination by whoever

Am I right DrummaBoy?

@drummaboy & candour,

Okay cool!


PS: I thought Anony is already a speaker? Any need to nominate him again?

striktlymi: @drummaboy & candour,

Okay cool!


PS: I thought Anony is already a speaker? Any need to nominate him again?

Well, my thinking is that even the first three should be taken as nominations. You may go ahead and nominate him again if you wish.

Though final say is Goshen's.

DrummaBoy:

Well, my thinking is that even the first three would still be taken as nominations. You may go ahead and nominate him again if you wish.

Though final say is Goshen's.

@Bold: Goshen has already introduced the 'first 3' as guest speakers. Subjecting them to the nomination process may not be necessary.

Candour:

You are correct.

I will add up ubenedictus on the list right away.

Alwaystrue
PastoroluT
Ajibam

alexleo: Alwaystrue
PastoroluT
Ajibam

The rule is two nominees.

Do we take the first two?

@the bolded, yes o my sister. It did

Cheers

DrummaBoy:

Ok take the first two.

PastorOluT
Joagbaje

striktlymi:

@Bold: Goshen has already introduced the 'first 3' as guest speakers. Subjecting them to the nomination process may not be necessary.

You're right!!! Those 3 shouldn't be subject to nomination.

Those 3 people were nominated, not by me but because they were the 3 that indicated interest readily and so, automatically became enlisted. Our number of speakers is 9. We need 6 more to add to those 3 and if we have more than 9. Two things can happen - we either fit fit the number we have in or we go with highest number of nominees to eliminate few so we stay with 9 speakers.

I nominate:

1. ichuka
2. PastorOluT

@ D'boy,

Anony1 was automatically among the speakers because of his interest. I think you're wasting vote by nominating him again. I suggest you think of someone esle.

Hello everyone.Good to see the Grace convention coming up again.Blessed be the Lord our Fortress.Reading through the pages so I can attend.

Goshen360: @ D'boy,

Anony1 was automatically among the speakers because of his interest. I think you're wasting vote by nominating him again. I suggest you think of someone esle.

OK. I will add one more person.

I vote MarkMiwerds and BabaGnoni

Goshen360: I nominate:
1. ichuka
2. PastorOluT

Bro Ha! Very bad timing,
I no even dey land for some time now.will definitely contribute.

I want to appreciate u guys for the nominations n also those that volunteered to participate in this years convention to make it work n for the unity of the brethren. God bless u all.

Though coming to the party late n reading through I can but observe ow some can never see ow we can come together in unity despite having the same calling psalm 133, or?

I believe as the scripture stated that we are all called into one hope by one spirit into one Lord Romans 12 1Corinthians 12, so ow come this can be a base for us all, I think enough has been done to derail the thread already so don't let me join d wagon n maybe d discussion should be for another thread.

I beg us all to disagree to agree that we might be a formidable force against the enemy, whereby he will be the one always trying to resist us 'cos of our constant exploit in the kingdom as we come together Daniel 11:32, instead of the other way round.

God bless u brethren for the good work, may this year's convention be a success.

Goshen n DB.

I nominate.
Alwaystrue. And Pastor Olu.

I added some names, please note:

DrummaBoy:

Some of the discussions that I have heard with brethren here have been heated ones. I was hoping this years convention will allow for a similitude of ecumenism, where despite our differences in opinions, we can still speak as one voice concerning matters of God's kingdom.
