9ja_I_hail:

Nwanne in actual sense you and i knew that the bolded can't be possible. It is hard for you to expect half of those who had voted me to turn against me. I have observed some things that is going to be helpful in ngwakwe previous suggestions,will be back later to look into it and update the rules before 2am my time.Hopefully my colleague Afam will also look into what we have gathered so far. I still maintained and preferred that any elected official who fall victim of the law his/her matter should be handle by the electoral board or eze council.The person can be send a message of caution if the offense was considerable if not that person stand automatic sack.Though the decision or judgement has to be based on the voice of the majority igbo.

ifyalways: uhm,what do we define as ridicule or insult?
Who decides when one has done both ?

If actually one is guilty of that and is nominated for a post what does it say?some Igbos didn't see the so called ridicule and if s/he wins what's the message?s/he actually spoke the minds of Igbos on Nld, no ?

I'm yet to see a reason,just one .For which a bonafide Igbo should be disqualified.

Ngwakwe: Let all Igbo sons and daughters learn how to separate their personal opinions from legal/proven facts on which judgements are based.

Having considered the implications of the above statement. I advice that all proven Igbo sons and daughters be allow to vote and be voted for.

To buttress my point further, it is the duty of the election commission to give time for at least three or four nominated candidates to present their manifestos and also form alliance to campaign.

It is then the duty and function of each candidate to present to the Nl Online Igbo electorates their views, belief and vision. It also include their ability to dig into the posts of their opponent and quoting them as to educate the electorates why such candidates should be ditched.

Let allow superior arguement to win. These are my humble take.

Ikology: Greetings my people, 'ndi nwe mu na ndi mu nwe, ekene mu unu' The issue of who should be allowed to vie for the post of Eze or Ezenwanyi ndigbo Nl is been overflogged, those nominated for these posts must accept their nominations, failure to do so is akin to disqualification. Prior to the election, the contestants must present their manifestos, they must convince us (electorates) of their Igboness, either language or stating their state, LGA,Town,village and kindred, issues regarding their Igboness should be used as campagne against them. Let the electorate decide,

ujchief: @pointB,
so far, many proposals have been made, so whats the way forward? Are we adopting them by default are passing them into a vote?
We've got lots of things to do, lets start adopting some of these proposals b4 this thread looses steam.
1. I made a proposal about appointment and tenure of electoral commissioner and tribunal.
2. Ngwakwe made a proposal about conditions for removal of elected office holders. His proposal has recieved lots of suports already.
3. We discuss about adopting the profiling method for acception nominations and votes.
Please do consider these proposals and adopt or bring them up for a vote.

Odunnu: Am I just seeing this thread? Na wa o. Una don dey do secret society meeting for NL?

9ja_I_hail:





The two above suggestions are similar and had been added into the constitution last night.

PointB:

My brother.
Your proposal on appointment of tribunal is noted. It will be adopted provided there is no counter proposal or objection.

Ngwake proposal on removal of elected official has not be adopted. There is a another proposal by 9ja_I_hail. Besides, his proposal needs to be reconciled with yours. Don't forget you proposed that electoral officers mandate expires at the end of a successful election. This implies that there won't be an active electoral officer for some period within a tenure. This creates a gap in Ngwake's proposal.

Profiling has been agreed in principle. But the raging controversy over basis for disqualification or not to disqualify leaves a big question on what to look for when profiling and what to do with 'actionable' results.

I think we still have some fine tuning to do on these proposals so far.

code of conduct for elected nairaland personalities

goldylock:

Ok some suggestions have been added into the constitution already?? Have people agreed to it? If na so my own and Ifyalways own nko? When una go put am for constitution?

Onlytruth:

That is exactly what this process is trying to design and define. That very issue is very important because I see no future in an institution that can be poopooed by anyone just because the leader of that institution is powerless. If we allow that to happen willy nilly, then we might as well kiss the whole thing goodbye.

BTW, I believe that this question is similar to asking "how does anyone define beauty?" We are humans, and there can be a broad agreement as to what is beautitul.
That is why beauty pageants are possible. That is why "beautiful" women are harder to get than ugly ones. lol.
So, let's not pretend that most people don't know when they are insulting their fellow humans.

I am ready to discuss this more. . .

ebere1712:
PointB, I like the work you have been doing so far, and as a son of the soil; I am thrilled that we as Igbos (under your initiative), have been able to come this far. However I would like yous to be more organised and get more people onboard, by showing your commitment to transparency. The Eze-nwanyi of nairaland, is not above the Igbo amala. Infact, I will like to go ahead to say that it would be unacceptable to most Igbos, for the powers that should rest with the people, to be relegated to a few electoral officers. I would like to make a range of suggestions based on
the different scenarios that I can envisage. I think this could be a good template for a better organised and
transparent discussion for this thread. So I will start by placing the code of conduct atop the scenarios because I think that is where we are at now.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR ELECTED IGBO NAIRALAND OFFICIALS
I would suggest now that the role of the eze and eze nwanyi of nairaland be carefully defined here. I would
also suggest that the Eze or Eze nwanyi have no previous relationship history. I would also suggest that the Eze/Ezenwanyi be delegated the duty of calling for
a voting exercises. This should include the duty to call for dethronement voting. Anyway these are just suggestions. UmuIgbo have the final say.


[center]Scenario Election[/center]
Every scenario can be discussed and edited by umuigbo. This is just a template

1) Eze would call for an election. Elections, as I understand, shall be held yearly.
2) Voters registration period be commenced at a time specified by the current Eze
3) The Eze would have to nominate his officials
(Electoral, administrative, or any other positions he/she deems necessary)
4) Voting would be started at a time specified by the Eze and last for at least 2 weeks. May be extended by the Eze's appointed electoral commission.


[center]Scenario Early Election[/center]

This scenario is necessary when it is deemed by Eze/Eze-nwanyi, that the Eze/Eze-nwanyi has/had
broken the or for any other applicable reason.

[center]Scenario Making/amending constitution[/center]

Here I would suggest we use and organised system to keep track of suggestions.

Every subject should be done one after the other.
Crossing between subjects should be illegal and anybody caught distracting this important process should be excommunicated by the order of the Eze Igbo of nairaland.

1) All suggestions made by eligible umuigbo should be compiled. Concisely stating each the person's nairaland ID and his/her suggestion.
Any of these suggestion that receives enough support from umuigbo, should then be discussed extensively and if accepted by a majority should be passed into law by the Eze.

Please UmuIgbo lets use this generic template to keep out ideas organised

Igbo kwezuonu.

ifyalways: I'll love to hear more from you,Eze Only Truth.my thoughts are that we are a group,a people and not a poltical party.Having that in mind,we are bound to have conflicting opinions on issues concerning Ndi and Ala Igbo.How do we handle our differences,tolerate each others views without necessarily seeing each other as sell outs or sabo?

ogugua88: Lol. I think this is a busy period for many of us. I haven't been posting but have read every post and like the suggestions thus far. We shouldn't be discouraged by what some may deem a lack of interest or motivation. Many of us have seen of what Eze Ndi Igbo is capable. The constitution drafting over the summer was impressive. We can do it again. So, let's continue voicing opinions and ideas to take the best strides forward.

I'll compile "minutes" (if you will) of suggestions from this thread as ebere smartly suggested. I hope no one has a problem with that. If there are no objections. I'll hold onto them and post them in the future if/when needed.

Onlytruth: Ogugua88, I saw you just a while ago on this thread. I thought you promised to collate and present everything we've done so far.
Let's see how far.

The same appeal goes to all the officials of this process. The process will run till late December but we need to keep things fresh.
Jisienu ike!

Only if the thread will still be alive till then. The thread is dying a slow death. Too dull.
