@Crazyman, are you the same as crazykid?

Yes o my brother, its me crazykid

Posters on particular threads should have an idea who their moderators should be, and nominate accordingly.

an interesting analogy.  In fact, I myself played around with that word (loyal) for awhile.  when I see loyal, my mind immediately flash on few examples (a) husband and wife or girlfriend and boyfriend because I see loyal as being submissive,  (b)[/b]But on the other hand, he may  have used loyal - meaning not to betray another's trust in you (don't betray the admin) ([b]c)[/b]Then again, a loyal friend "stick" up for you through thick or thin.

The thing is, I can be loyal (faith and trust) to you but I am [b]NOT going to stand up for you if you are wrong/doing wrong.  And what if I disagree with you. . .am I not loyal?

@Seun
A short QUIZ:

There was a man who was "given a job to do" by his benefactor.
The Benefactor "laid down the rules and told his employee what to do"
Being a "good man" the employee did his master's bidding.
But his master was "powerful man", and he used his employee to achieve selfish and not so noble purposes!
This employee tried to use his wisdom, to do "a few things" that were right!
People were annoyed and criticized this employee.
They were blaming him for what he was doing (not minding he was "just obeying orders and being loyal" )
This employee was to be convicted for being loyal and obedient but his master was "a free man!

Would anyone have preferred that this employee did not listen to his "Master"?
Would this employee have been a better person, with a better legacy had he been disloyal to his benefactor?

Do we actually consider "unqualified loyalty" as a virtue and asset?
Should we actually be "demanding loyalty and obedience to us" from those who are responsible to us?

Can anybody tell me THE NAME OF THIS EMPLOYEE?
(clue: he was a Nigerian public servant)

Please let me have your guess, thanks in advance.

Now, l came-up with this analogy, in reference to what SEUN listed as one of the requirements to qualify as a MODERATOR. (as highlighted above)

"Loyalty and obedience" is considered a good virtue but we all know that "the heart of man is wicked"! (So says the good book!)

In the above analogy, "the employee" now has to live with the result, negative consequence of his "loyalty and obedience" to his Master.
Some have said 'but he should have not obeyed those vile instructions of his master",,, and be considered disloyal?

For me, l think l am grown-up enough, mature enough and intelligent enough to distinguish between right and wrong, fairness and l have a conscience.

While l like Seun and would like to support "his project", l am too "independently minded" to remain loyal to anyone!
He can bet on my integrity and fairness but there will be times that "SEUN" will, like all humans, including myself, "miss it" and at those times, you dont need a "loyal and obedient" companion, you need someone who is bold enough, to tell you the truth, to "say it as it is".

To do otherwise is to wallow in mediocrity.

Let me ask SEUN, "what are your expectations of a moderator" that you require his/her loyalty and obedience to you?
What if a "politically charged but true post was made" or one against your interest"? would you require a "loyal and obedient moderator" to bring it down?

I cant remember who said it but it was said that " to demand loyalty and obedience from one human to another, is the beginning of dictatorship" (now, this is generally speaking!)
Now, imagine if even my parents demand absolute loyalty and obedience from me, even as a grown up (as opposed to a child)?
Is it that they are never wrong or is it that l dont have a mind of my own or is it that they dont trust my judgment or mental state or is it that they will prefer not to be told the truth when they are in the wrong?

I may be wrong but l think one of the things that would really make a "great site" is its independence and the independence of the posts their-in.
The feeling that "your voice will  be heard unedited, the way you want to say it".

I write on a few forums where my write-ups are not edited
I know the most "important rule" on Nairaland is not to annoy the Admin!(Seun) and l hope l have not, with my reminiscence?

I guess by now, it will be obvious that l can not qualify to be a Moderator

All the same, l wish Seun and all the MODS well.
,,,,, and please, easy with the hammer o!

Submit your credentials then

@Seun
All this na nonsense. NL has grown inspite of your moderators. The fewer moderators you inflict on posters, the better.

@Redman44,
What intelligence benchmark on NL are you talking abt? Are you talking about american-nigerians, british-nigerians, nigerian-nigerians or american-nigerians living in Nigeria? How can you tell one from the other.

Our background is as varied as a Chinese is different from a chilean. NL is what it is-a beer parlour.No attempt should be made to read anything more serious.

Seun, well for the benefit of doubt, Lets see what some dudes here can do, Give them a try. I would have said i shud help but im kinda busy with many research work going on, Im still in support of you, Back in the days from EGBA, Chiefoski Badoski xtends greetinds as well,

DK - U on reach here too . . . .

I wld love DK to be a MOD on the sport section. . .

@ Seun - im interested too oooo ( SPORT SECTION)

Hi I will like to subscribe as a moderator in the Technology section,esp computer/phone . I have internet access 24/7 and am online for about 18 hours a day. I am passionate about the internet esp broadband connections.

naaa i can only be a mod in the romance section, romance trouble fits me

but be rest assured i will pursue all them users

Tonye-t:

i think i'll make a good asst. on the following sections

1. Religion : liberal in opinion, conservative in my own belief, born again)

2. Career : building a career in ICT (software engr., network engring, Autocad, Archicad. . .artist by talent)

3. Education: helped over 23 persons gain admission to university here

4. properties : civil engineer/structural engr. by profession, member NSE, ICE, ASCE

oga ooooo, why not email this resume to seun?

Most Nairalanders, Mr Seun inclusive "No Offence Intended" are sometimes full of em'selves but who knows there could be reasons for their actions unknown to the other party. (my candid opinion).
There's no Business Firm o' Organization in the world of today that would exceed or surpass a guessable/thinkable limit in growth when such unwholly and inhumanly people exists and are present in that establishment, no matter the level of its financial capabilities at stake or alma mater of individual staff.
I take the "Senator Slapped Security-Man" for a perfect instance, i mean the keyword is boldly written 'HUMILITY', that dude lacked it at that point in time when he would have humbly disclosed his identity to the lesser status quo security-man but unfortunately he (The Senator) was 'full' of himself. And usually atimes we tend to regret the course of our own actions maybe in secret afterwards as the case maybe.

This is one criteria required of Seun to intending applicants; "Loyalty and Obedience" amongst others in other words he needs Humble peeps. But!! I think he's only trying to use this as a bait or otherwise, for throwing the positions open, correct my person if i'm wrong but thats my take.

However, spotting the posts of member 'LastPage and Redmans' i find of nice gesture and individual analystic disposition coupled with good reasoning. Let Mr Seun check himself and actions for real if he so desire the best from others.
I also hope you get the best hands to work with and move NAiraland to greater heights.

Coded still.

@Seun
