I hope he knows the correct spelling is Phoenix and not phoinix

Olodo full this place wallahi
Someone choosing a username he can't even spell
Ask S Osewa if he can help you modify your username
Hahahahahahaha

Is that the best you got Fatty?

From the recent unnecessary barrage of insults coming from Phoinix n his ilk it's just clear that ignorant self-hating lowlife Internet tuff guys r just destined for poverty n frustration.

Mention me, insult me. I really and truly don't have your time. I've said my bit.

Please Babyosisi, I implore you to not engage these people anymore. They're not worth it at all. Let em keep barking n raising dust.

She threw the first salvo long time ago, and she is getting some... How am i destined for poverty? Are you well?

I hope this was a good lesson for you and people like you
Enemies of progress that will cut anything down as long as the idea doesn't emanate from them
Now read the rest of the thread( assuming you haven't already)
Read how beautifully it came together,if your heart can survive it
Next time you see a good thing and you have no goodness to add,you shut up and move away rather than stay on and throw fits

Let me post your comments here so people who didn't read you won't wonder why I am saying these things

Please, stop quoting me. I have already forgotten this thread until you started to call out my name. Instead of quoting me, go and save the world.

some people are just destined to be a discouragement to the help of others..(even though it's in a small way)....instead of them to see the positive side of it, they will always look for every effort just to make themselves an hindrance to the merriment of others....
(this seems to be rampant in the midst of we blacks...we so much love to criticize and abuse anyone trying to help others.....(just because you are not capable doesn't mean you should turn yourself into a terrorist..(THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTS FROM ) jealousy

if you are not capable of doing same or doing something better...then back off... ....

babyosisi:


Oh
You are now backtracking and sermonizing and adding sugar on top
Everyone who has read you knows your lying capabilities have no equal
Weren't you the person that also old us Nigerians have been murdering their wives in Houston for years and I challenged you to produce those murder stories prior to 2014 and you ran away from the thread
Hahahahaha
Losers never change
I bet this whole thread and the outcome must be excruciating for you to read
It worked
You lost
Loser
It started off with $100, people loved it
They thought it was a good venture
They showed support and the amount grew and it got tougher
Stick around,next year ,it will go up many notches
I hope you can survive it

/
Keep tapdancing around the issue.

When you lack appropriate rebuttal, drag other non-relating issue to buttress your position.

You are phony!

What you gave out $100, I am supposed to bow down to you?

And to your backup singer and protege' MissMeiya of whatever she is called...we got it.

You did it. Congratulations!

No need being a snake oil salesperson next time.

Let it go, man.. Just let it go..

e don go xin 20th na...na pple comment make me complain
cos me sef for copy kan make reference

WizardofOz1:
@Akposy @altarboy1

I think I saw my score in the pic MissMeiya posted showing some of the essays that had been scored at the time. It was high but not high enough.
Needless to say, I didn't make the final eight.. And i think I have a pretty good idea why.
MY ESSAY WASN'T AS GOOD AS THE FINAL EIGHT.
The simplest explanation is usually the best. Now if I were to go into specifics, I'd probably note that I sorta ever so slightly veered off the purpose of the competition (highlight a problem in society and present a cost effective solution).
So please, search yourself. I'd like to believe we're mature enough to be comfortable knowing we can't win it all (the most successful businessman isn't always the best husband or dad) and also to analyse our work to pick out flaws. If you can't on your own, then get a friend or family member so you can both go over it.. But this issue of asking for feedback or demanding explanation from the judges as to why your work didn't make it to the top eight is a bit over the top.
As for fairness, AltarBoy1, I'm sure you're talking about some of the essays that got flagged by Martin301 but still made it to the final eight. Hey that's life, the judges know what they wanted from the essays. It's best we take it in the chin and just move on.
Again, congrats to the winners and I hope we can all make it one of our personal goals that by this time next year, we'll be one of the financial sponsors to this wonderful competition.
Thanks again to everyone for competing and to the organisers for putting it together.

God bless us all.

i understand you sir...
Am not complaining about not making it to the top 8.
They gave us rule and still break d rule....
I need to see my result..dats all. i don't have anyone to help me with it

Martins301:
Some people are just terrible losers. Have you seen a situation where those who lost out in Peak, Shell, NYSC or NNPC essay competitions are contacted and given explaination as regards why they lost out? The scores of those who made top 8 has been published. If your's wasn't there it means you failed to accumulate the needed score. Shey WAEC or NECO they give explaination letter to those wey fail their exam ni? You passed through secondary school, you are in or have passed through tertiary school and you are still looking for people to explain why you did not win in an essay competion. Carry the essay go give your English teacher or Lecturer na. If any of the judges decides to evaluate an essay that did not make the list then its purely a gift to the person and not a compulsory task that must be done. I hate whining, especially when its coming from guys.

I see.. and who are the people asking for explanation..
Stop your hypocritical behavior.. if urs was not among d top 3 you would have been OVER WHINING. You flagged peoples essay and you are here playing the nice fellow here and making us requesting for our result look stupid.

This is not WAEC or NECO. We are all learning here and a result would spur us into working on our weak parts.

AltarBoy1:
I dont knw for those seeking explanation. But some pple, myself incusive, are asking for feedback, just for correctional purposes. I failed and I have accepted it with full force. This is not my first time of failing and that doesnt mean am a dullard. Am not in any way suppourting those who are fuming and looking for explanation. All I need is just a little feed back so I can correct myself.

Exactly. Dont mind dat dude

The essays were required to be between 400 and 700 words in length. Your essay was 342 words long.

I know you didn't ask me to clarify about the nonbolded part, which means you know that you copied. So I'm not sure why you said "seriously...i for do online research". Clearly, you did.

Here is your plagiarism report:

You should ask yourself if you followed those rules. He copied that for YOUR benefit.

I was very careful to be discreet to avoid this kind of unpleasantness. However, you demanded to know, and you demanded to know publicly, while accusing the judges of not adhering to their own rules. You didn't give me a choice.

Until today, I have never believed that witchcraft is real. I can't imagine people attacking the organizers of this competition. The behavior is against common sense; because success begets many friends. The outcome of the competition is commendable and should be applauded. These attackers need to channel their energy to more productive things, and stop this dance of shame.

MissMeiya .. you are really cracking me out like seriously...the way i am laughing right now...people are just looking at me one kind...nd dey started packing their belongings... hope you are not thinking what i am thinking...

you sha wan make the guy naked sha.....lolzzzzzzzzzzzzz
