by my logic, m saying johnny drille is a better artiste. if we say people should vote, wizkid and his likes will get higher votes because of their popularity buh if the judges pick, they know johnny drille is the best. let her win. m tired of this argument. the moderator said the competition follows "the voice" format.


m not discarding the fact that skarlett is a good writer. m talking about this contest. read her submission and compare it with missnande's submission.

Msnande:
One day, her birth, her demise

Skarlett:
Sleeping beside him, thinking of u

I read skarlett's submission, and I swelled up with emotions!

Anger at d babe, pain for d guy, and d injustice of it all!? There was a whole story in there, just run with ur imagination.

But, I cant in all truth say d same abt Msnande's. The only emotion I could come up with was d pain of her parents. And, I had to dig, it didnt well up, like d other.

Death's call.


"Kill me!" she shouted, he did.

m done with the argument. let her win.

Sorry to bring this up, but while looking for their submissions, I realised Skar had made over 4000+ posts, to Ms's 94 posts.

In this kind of competition, the best never wins
As a result of incompetent judgement or the fact that popularity shadows content if votes (likes and shares) are the deciding factors. Not that the latter matters, as it has been stipulated at the initial stage.
But voters u dont have to ridicule the writer by contrasting the stories in your (limited) opinions.
Rules like grammar, tenses, punctuation etc supercedes the moral of the story.
most people judge concerning what the story said but not how it was written.

Seun did not organise this competition. Probably doesn't know about it.

It was stated at the start that the competition was going to be a 'popularity contest' at the final stage. So, sheath your sword and call for a more transparent competition. You could sponsor it.

Incompetent judgement? Let's wait for the competition to end before submitting our observations.

Oh, please!

Anger at the babe? What if the character is gay?

Pain for the guy? - What if the YOU is female and dead.

Injustice? - What if the character remarried willingly and was expressing sorrow instead of guilt.

Many more deductions could be extracted.

This thread is getting interesting.

Exactly my point! U can actually run in any direction, with that single line.

You dont expect us, u n I, to have d same line of tot?

now you get my point....
Because its six words dont mean the story cant be conclusive to a reasonable extent....

what you are saying is not wrong outrightly but the time you are saying it and the apparent purpose is off the point.
let me ask, did u witness the last stage?

ashewoboy:

What?! Nope! What rules amended? U want to see a 'upstart' upstage a old hand?!

If she really is that good, then her work should win her d votes! Or she too, can take time to cultivate a following and wait for her time! Dazzol!

Let me guess,you've never lost anyone before hence your need to dig? Don't try and discredit me to defend another. Ashewoboy might have done it the wrong way,but he had a point and using the same method doesn't make you any better. Writing is not an easy job,how much more doing so under constraint? A little appreciation on your part is not a bad thing.

This is quite shallow you know? How on earth am I supposed to build an audience without first participating in things like this?

Mogbe!!? Emi shallow?!

Well, u're quite rude. I can see u took offence at my defence of skarl. For ur info, we dont see eye to eye on politcal matters(underG ipob lomo n anti-Bubu ), but one way or d other, we remain e-frnds!

Ur statement up there shows ur (insert a befitting word). Cos I raised d same point! Build ur audience, with ur talent or wetf u think u've got, then u'll get to compete on a fairer footing!
For crying out loud, unless u've got exceptional talent, I'm sure u didnt expect to win against someone who has been active on here for years n u just came in with ur moniker recently!?

U might be a sore looser, try chill on d shading!
