2011 OFFICIAL POLITICS SECTION POSTER OF THE YEAR As 2011 rolls to an end, we say thank you to everyone that has contributed to making this section tick in the outgoing year - from the active contributors to the passive readers even to the unregistered guest viewers. As has become traditional on Nairaland, we are organizing this year's edition of OFFICIAL POSTER OF THE YEAR AWARD. For those who are new here, this event started officially in 2009 but that of Politics Section was not officially recognized in 2009 because of a flawed process. In the hotly contested 2010 edition, Dapobear won the prize, beating Katsumoto by one vote while Kobojunkie emerged 2nd runners-up: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-535083.0.html Now it's 2011 edition? Who will take the prize? Will Dapobear retain it? Will Katsumoto do better? Or will the ever-present Kobojunkie stage a surprise comeback? Or will the new 'men of the moment' take the gong? You decide! Rules: 1, Only 1 nomination per user 2, Any nominee that has been banned or warned twice this year will be disqualified 3, Moderator cannot be nominated in his/her section but may be nominated in other sections 4, Nominee must be active in the section 5, Nominee must be forum rule-abiding and not a trouble-maker(passionate defence of one's opinions is no trouble-making though) 6, Top 3 nominees will be up for poll for another 2 weeks, where the winner will be announced at the expiration of the voting 7, Where there is tie, the mod reserves the right to either choose one or extend the nomination/voting by 24 hours NOMINATION ends on December 15, 2011 VOTING starts December 16, 2011 and ends December 30 where the winner will be announced. Start nominating UPDATED 15 DEC 2011 BRIEF CITATION OF THE FINALISTS 1, GBAWE: Gbawe joined Nairaland in 2009 but hugged limelight in 2011 in the heated run-up to 2011 elections - one of the most epochal periods in the history of Nairaland Politics Section. He started as a strong defender of Ribadu candidacy but went beyond to be the strongest defender of ACN and their leader, Bola Tinubu, on Nairaland. He writes well and presents his arguments with logic. He is not known for insulting - a quality that is scarce in this part of Nairaland. He argues passionately about his convictions. For this he commands a good following in the Politics Section of Nairaland, especially among the 'progressives' and 'opposition'. 2, ONLYTRUTH: Recently crowned Eze Ndigbo Nairaland, Onlytruth has been on Nairaland since 2009 and has become the rallying point for his people. He is more known for his defence of his people, but unlike many others, does so without breaching the rules - a quality that is rare on Nairaland. 3, KATSUMOTO: Katsumoto is the only finalist last year that still made it to the final again this year. He lost the award by one vote to Dapo-bear in 2010. Highly respected on the politics section for his analytical prowess and debating skills. He is very visible in serious topics, marshaling facts to buttress his arguments. His choice of words in his comments is another strong point for him. Katsumoto's main turf are arguments that border on Igbo, Biafra and related issues. He is a respected voice in those areas. |

BEAF! Mr Modo, me nor send dis "no banees" rule of yours oh, the ND soldier has made this forum tick the most. Check all the Stories popping up by the day - you no go even reach 5 threads before his name is mentioned. End of! But if not him, then I'd say Jakumo the swift comedic semi-genius; or Aletheia the sharp intellectual MD. Yeah. That's my opinion. |

I would have chosen Beaf, but his failure to acknowledge his benefactor's numerous goofs robs him of the award. Gbawe gets it for me, because of the clarity and depth of his arguments and his respect for others. Btw mod, permit me to suggest a sub-category for "New Entrant of the Year" for those who just joined the forum this year and have made a significant impact. |
Re: *~ Gbawe Voted The Politics Section Poster Of The Year *~ Congratulations by Jarus(m): 4:38pm On Dec 01, 2011 |

Is this thread going to be moved to the General Section, like last year? I already see names of quality contributors to the politics section, alongside a couple of monikers that I have never seen here. Oh well. IMHO it's no contest that Katsumoto is the best poster in politics section, but I don't know if he cares to run this term. Therefore I shall refrain, and let someone else to do the nominating and put forth an eloquent nominating speech. |
Re: *~ Gbawe Voted The Politics Section Poster Of The Year *~ Congratulations by Jarus(m): 6:45pm On Dec 01, 2011 |
I have been thinking of who to personally nominate since I put up the thread up hours ago, unlike previous years. The person that had been on my mind since the beginning of the year somehow got derailed couple of months back. My regualar nominee -Ibime- wasn't so active here this year. I'm still thinking of who to nominate. |
Re: *~ Gbawe Voted The Politics Section Poster Of The Year *~ Congratulations by efisher(m): 8:02pm On Dec 01, 2011 |
If we are to be very frank, Beaf is the clear winner. No contest! |
Re: *~ Gbawe Voted The Politics Section Poster Of The Year *~ Congratulations by isalegan2: 9:28pm On Dec 01, 2011 |
I know there are so many quality posters. I think I enjoy the banter on this thread more than the voting. lol. I apologise for the double post, but I understand I need to officially nominate my choice, in case my original post didn't count. Okay, I am ready. *stepping on soapbox* *clearing throat* Friends, Nairalanders, Countrymen! Arise from your slumber and behold our nominee. The erudite, well-versed in any subject, wise-beyond-any-years sage of the politics section. The one and only *Stepping down from soapbox* |

Beaf it is for me. This rule on banning is a disingenuous way to target some people and scheme them out. The worse about thing about these banning is the oftentimes arbitrariness of it. Indeed one cannot total rule out the application of one or two negative ism - nepostism, favoritism, or downright ethnicism in banning. Or how else does one explain the fact that a very moderate poster like my goodself was once ban without any prior warning? Applying these rule to deprive posters like beaf and Kobojunkie (Gbawe in case he is affected) and a host of others who have made this section lively, dynamic, and flavored is very anachronistic, and borders dangerously close to despotism, and indeed counter productive. Knowing the mods very well, it is futile to ask them to rescind this bad rule, but it is important nevertheless that erudite members of this section state their opinion on this bad and anachronistic policis and rules which is gradually becoming the order of the day here. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." |
Re: *~ Gbawe Voted The Politics Section Poster Of The Year *~ Congratulations by Jarus(m): 3:09pm On Dec 02, 2011 |
Jarus:Cleared. Ban/warning books checked and their names not found, so they are qualified for nomination. |
Re: *~ Gbawe Voted The Politics Section Poster Of The Year *~ Congratulations by Jarus(m): 3:19pm On Dec 02, 2011 |
Ban rule is not new. It was applied last year. What does it profit us to scheme out anybody in an online 'award' that may not add any value to anybody, beyond the fun of it? Guy, let's be dispassionate, how will it look if someone that, though known for intelligent contributions, falls short in simply abiding by forum rules, being named the best poster in the section? There are rules everywhere and conformity with rules should not be compromised. Yous ism suspicion is even more surprising. Check out the most banned people on this section - from Desola to Beaf to ajl-harem - tell me if it is skewed to a particular tribe? In rare cases, it may be possible that x does something 'warnable/banable' but he escapes it because we did not see it. We are human and not machines and cannot rule out imperfections, but as much as humanly possible we try to be fair to all. Also note that warning doesn't necessarily precede banning; you can be banned at first offence depending on the gravity of your offence. Let's let go our personal biases in matters like this. |
Re: *~ Gbawe Voted The Politics Section Poster Of The Year *~ Congratulations by PointB: 3:24pm On Dec 02, 2011 |
Applying the ban rule a hundred times in the past for something done for the fun still does not make it right. It is anachronistic in today's world. |
Re: *~ Gbawe Voted The Politics Section Poster Of The Year *~ Congratulations by OAM4J: 4:09pm On Dec 02, 2011 |
Jarus: Well put. I hope this rest the issue on ban. @ All The aim is to also encourage those who keep the rules and further encourage others to keep the rules. Also if you guys check other sections, you will find out that the same set of rules apply. Let's keep the nominations coming |
Re: *~ Gbawe Voted The Politics Section Poster Of The Year *~ Congratulations by DrummaBoy(m): 5:00pm On Dec 02, 2011 |
