All thanks to tosyne2much and his ways. LMAO!. Tosyne tosyne, how market? LOL.

joseph1832:
Tell me, what do you understand by plagiarism? I besiege thee with this question, because from what you wrote up there, you have absolutely no idea, what it is, or what it entails.

LordofNairaland:


Son, just go and sleep. You are not making any sense.

ronald4lif:


Bros, but why have you taken this more serious than it actually is and even more than person behind the exposé? What difference will her apology make to you? The only outcome of the continual flogging of this issue will be her to pull out of the contest or weaken her morale. It's that the objective of this protest?

Speakdatruth:
I think there's nothing like plagiarism when sharing d same opinion with someone on a matter, if it was spoken n not typed who will point it out? n if d sponsors of dis mischief succeeded in kicking a strong contestant out then it's unfortunate how we got this far

Dygeasy:
Hello Sir,

This is my take on this issue. I understand where you are coming from about the issue of plagiarism and what not.

To be honest, Ivyy goofed by lifting off her answer from a response from another website but that isn't binding on us (the organizers of the contest) because the question wasn't put to her by us nor is the answer expected to be provided in anyway contributing to her chances of succeeding in the contest within the rules guiding the contest.

The interview was for awareness purpose, showcase of intelligence and I am quite sure you all would have made up your opinions and minds on whether to vote for which contestant based on their performances in the interview. That again doesn't concern the organizers.

That being said, Ivyy's act has only affected her chances with the audience not particularly with the organizers as she hasn't broken any of our rules. The audience is the judge with the power of their votes so it's in your hands. However, if this were to be a case where she plagiarized in her responses to any our own questions (which will come up in the contest), then she could be disqualified.

It's up to you (the audience) if you still want to vote for her or not.

Thank you.

I weak for bones my brother. Funny thing be say some of them forget say them get candidates.

Since na to day throw difficult questions nah to storm the thread and throw my own questions make I see whether them nor go run enter Google.

BiafraBushBoy:


You have to think before you type.. it is a hard thing to do, but just learn it...

Only four contestants have been interviewed and you think the remaining ones are cheats like your candidate

Get ready for the explosive nature of other candidates

I beg your pardon? Do you mind explaining the bolded because I really do not understand that thing you put there

naijaboiy:

Tosyne follow dey ask those kind questions bah?

Okikiki:


I won't reply your quotes again henceforth because of obvious reason well known to you.

However, If I must remind you, silence remains the best answer.........

SweetieConstie:



Oga! E don do naa??



Haba!!! Even if you're being paid to bring her down by all means, the organisers have spoken and Dygeasy has proferred an ultimate solution to the whole ish!


Just go and rest already... Let it slide! Bikonu?

Twaci:
All I see is wisdom

I don't think she should be disqualified.. Half the things on Nairaland, front page especially, are plagiarism.. Who's complaining?? She took few words from Naij.com.. Why should we complain about that one?? Just because a mimz supporter told everyone what she did.. You think all mimz supporters want her disqualified and that makes you think we're playing dirty or whatever.. Smh


You just contradicted yourself, but I'm not ready to drag the issue further..

Monalisa185:



[b]you think you know what plagiarism is? I don't think you do, maybe you've always heard people define it, but I put it to you that defining plagiarism is not all there is to it...

Lemme enlighten you and you can as well make your research on the word "plagiarism"

When someone uses a partucular person's work without adding any other thing to it, whether his/her own work or from another person's work, without the person's permission, of course.that person is said to have plagiarized...

BUT!

When someone uses a person's work, but goes ahead to add his/her own work to it or even adds from another person's work, it is called RESEARCH and not PLAGIARISM.. ..

Judging from Ivy's case, she never used only what was found on naiji.whatever, she equally added some other things which made it a RESEARCH and not a case of PLAGIARISM!!

II sincerely hope you and others who are busy stressing this issue can differentiate between PLAGIARISM and RESEARCH!

Not at all, most literature enthusiast would react this way. I just want what's right, nothing more.

This same instance happened in the rap section, and the moniker involved was given a year ban. We must not overlook things like this, no matter how the little it is, never foregt: “To leave error unrefuted is to encourage intellectual
immorality.” — Karl Marx.

Just my two cents bro.

joseph1832:
LMAO! At the colored! I suppose you don't know what referencing is, and I'm sure you have no idea what plagiarism mean.

A dean, when I was still a student, was suspended because he did exactly what I highlighted above!.

This girl you funny sha!.

For the records, Biafrabushboy, Senibo1, Thagift and Repogirl are members of Refiner's team.

They are the ones who started this controversy and who have been creating threads, not Mimzy's team or Lanicky's team or even Mysticgal's team.


Learn to blame accordingly!

I can see some people trying to blame members of other heavyweight teams.

Monalisa185:


read what I wrote very well, this time, do it slowly..I'm not going to drag this issue with you, perhaps, you should go back to your school and find out why the dean was suspended, whether for making a research or for putting up someone's entire work with referencing the source...

#cheers

Hi T,

We spoke yesternite and i didn't wanna bring this up till i saw this comment.

I wonder why this is still an issue.

You do know i write on Economic policies and i am also a part of Ivyy's advisory team, who advised her on answering said particular question. The said words being quoted on-here was taken out of a Paid Research report, as such, plagiarism is not an issue.

If someone can asked what devaluation is, it also mean i can ask the contestants to explain the working dynamics of a lathe machine (well, i studied engineering), as such, i expect them to know it too. (Don't ask my why).

joseph1832:
Abegi make we hear word joor! Yeye dey smell. According to you, when you add someone else' work to your own, its called research, research? Like seriously I wonder where you got that mundane definition from.

Mtscheeew!.
