Gbawe:

My brother, I thank you. I can only encourage some Nairalanders to post more and share the incredible knowledge and analytical ability they possess. A Katsumoto posting as regularly as I did would have easily trounced me and Onlytruth. Paddy Lo, Oyb, Blacksta, A-zed, largerwhenindoubt, kobojunkie, Dayokanu, Bawss1, Haka nai, Akwasi, Shesi, reference, Beaf, Jmaine, Rhino.5dm, efisher, Sagamite, Orinkinla, KoKoA, Demdem, Vodoodoll, PointB, Drummaboy hercules07, skills, texxazpete, Pukkah, Mikeansy, Desola, Olawaleb, Akanbi edu, Kilode, Koruji, EKt-Bear, Jason123, Ileke-idi, Eko Ile, Jamesdoe, HNosegbe, Biina, Lagosboy, Gen-buhari,blazay, Abagworo, 9ijaman, edogirl, ALjharem, justcash and many others I cannot remember right now stood out for various reasons.

I have no speech to make. I only wish to encourage more nairalanders to post more frequently from now on. Our Nation badly needs us to talk even as many reckon Nigerians are "all talk and no action".

The mods did a great job too letting us 'talk'.

Jarus, OAM4J, Mukina2 una do well.

ekt_bear:

Well done, Gbawe.

Katsumoto, I think you already know how I regard you, homie.

Jarus:

Big congratulations to Gbawe for emerging the winner of the 2011 edition of Official Nairaland Politics Section Poster of the Year.

Congrats to Onlytruth too, for giving a good account of himself in the fierce contest

And to Katsumoto, making the Top 3 in 2 consecutive years shows your quality.

To the almost 237 voters and countless viewers/observers, we say thank you too.

We look forward to seeing you in 2012 by God's grace.

Happy New Year in advance!

Ola one:

Congratulations, Gbawe. Even though most of your posts are pro a certain political party, you're a good person nonetheless.


Beaf is also a good poster here. It's about politics and he's pro-PDP. Gbawe is pro-ACN. I think it's difficult for someone like Beaf not to get banned. So, please, Mods, allow Beaf to contest next year. It is high time you disregarded this 'ban' policy for a poster like Beaf. If Gbawe could, why not Beaf? Moreover, he's toned down a bit.

OYB too. I am a bit surprised no one nominated him.

Eku is good but he's chosen to become Arole Oduaa. So, NO!


I voted Kats.

Gbawe:

Thank you very much.

As regards Oyb, I am surprised too. He is one of the sharpest tool in the nairaland box. Naturally witty chap too. In fact, I would think twice going up against him, Katsumoto, Jmaine, Eko Ile, reference , Biina and Paddy lo because they all fall into the category of those who genuinely know minute details well and[b] , most importantly,[/b] actually possess the logical thinking to put everything together to produce an unbeatable mix .

ekt_bear:

Heh.

Kats is one of the best posters on this forum, period.

Many of you taking shots at him or who have taken shots at him in the past. [size=15pt]Bluntly speaking I'm not fit to even wipe his azz.[/size]

Quality and talent shines, no matter how much haters and malcontents may try to deny it.

Katsumoto:

Nice one Gbawe

I would normally not comment but I can't ignore those who nominated me, voted for me and had nice things to write about me, and as such, I must say thank you very much to all of them.

Thanks

Don't even sweat it bro; we always cool.  

Your nomination surprised me (given our strong differences on one individual   ) but thanks all the same.


Happy new year to all. Peace

OAM4J:

Big congratulations to you Gbawe. You are very qualified to be a role model of politics section and I have lots of respect for your civility and maturity.

I also want to congratulate Ezendigbo of Nairaland I - Onlytruth. Your fought well.

And Katsumoto. You are always a winner, am sure you know that and I will always love the way you debate intelligently and with facts.


Let's take it easy guys. Its just for the fun of it.


NB

We Moderators have no pleasure in disqualifying anyone. I only hope that those aspiring to be a role models will conduct themselves well in the new year by avoiding bans and warnings.

And thanks to everyone who voted here and also voted for me on the moderator of the year thread.

Happy New Year!

OAM4J - Your Nairaland Moderator Of The Year  

OAM4J:

Big congratulations to you Gbawe. You are very qualified to be a role model of politics section and I have lots of respect for your civility and maturity.


OAM4J - Your Nairaland Moderator Of The Year  

Onlytruth:

I want to congratulate Gbawe for "winning". I won't say more than that.

I also want to thank the Mods for allowing me to come second! 

Most importantly, I want to thank my numerous supporters here. I used to believe that truth is a very lonely orphan. I never knew that truth has many friends.

When I started posting here, I was convinced that I would be alone, and I was for a very loooooooooooong time.
This poll only proves to me that Nigerians can be reached, even with cold hard truth. We are not as bad as folks think! 

I want to thank Beaf [/b]for endorsing me and channeling his voters to my corner. 
@[b]Beaf, we are essentially saying the same here, I believe that folks are taking note. 

Finally, IMHO, I believe I won the more important poll this year.

Long live Nairaland!

Long live Nigerians!

Signing off,

Yours truly,

Onlytruth, Ndu di n'eziokwu 1 of Igboland, Eze Ndigbo Nairaland. 

Gbawe:

Thank you OAM4J. You, Jarus and Mukina2 have been fantastic in your moderation of the politics forum. Keep it up. Happy new year.

Gbawe:

Very gracious of you. Thank you very much and happy new year to you too.


Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. I totally agree with what you say about katsumoto. Very polished and intelligent writer. Combining writing poise with relevant facts and winning logic is always the challenge. I think Katsumoto manages that better than anyone else here. I would hope he posts more next year and on numerous political topic. I may have missed it but I would, for example, love to read his opinion on fuel subsidy and the national budget.

afam4eva:

My head is getting bigger o.  

okunoba:

Beaf should have been included, his one of the best debaters on Nairaland. Leaving him out as only raised doubts as to the credibility of this election.

Heh.

Kats is one of the best posters on this forum, period.

Many of you taking shots at him or who have taken shots at him in the past bluntly speaking are not fit to even wipe his azz.

Quality and talent shines, no matter how much haters and malcontents may try to deny it.

Neither of those who have fired shots in this thread would even dare try him in an argument. . . you'd both be owned.

2 years ago it was Musiwa

Last year it was Dapo bear

This year Gbawe
