@ Debosky

Actually we do not have a number in mind. sometimes in the middle of our activities we get a lot of these criticisms. We only want to give room to discuss all these issues openly. Our conclusion will be based on simple majority from those who participate in the discussion. No we are not waiting for 800,000  or 1000 responses, neither do we see the need to add a poll cos we are not just interested the number of those for or against, we are more interested in the arguments/ intelligent points for and against the issues. So we simply open a matter for a day or 2 and reach a conclusion from the number of contributions we get.

@ all

One other crucial issue we will like to bring to open and reach a conclusion on is the issue of setting aside a small percentage of the contributions for administrative expenses.

Is it a good idea? If so what percentage is reasonable enough?

debosky:

Thanks for responding chief.

I think we need to be tighter than that. If this is really about giving room to discuss openly then those who you deem to be stakeholders on nl, then they need to at least be informed. If they stay away then so be it, but if there is a particular issue needing discussing, people should be pmed telling them we have 2 days to decide on so and so.

Consider it like sending out ivs before an AGM - all shareholders are informed but only those interested enough/available at the time actually go to the meetings.

Just my two cents on this.

I'm not sure I agree with setting aside a fixed percentage aside regardless of need. It should be needs based. What are the anticipated admin costs or estimates? I think it should be decided on a case by case basis, but rather than setting aside a percentage, I'd suggest the committee decides on it on a case by case basis, with the caveat that any admin cost above10% ( or a fixed amount like 50k) of the current purse holding should be brought to the wider house for approval.

Also we might need one or two more hands to join the team (subject to everyone's approval) as field officers

the criteria remains:

- Must be able to donate some of their precious time to go out and investigate cases anywhere in Nigeria
- To physically confirm and lead projects; must be in Nigeria, ready to devote time for the exercises
- Must be a regular poster on Nairaland NOT once a week poster
- Member since at least 2007 or have recommendations of at least 3 well known Nairalanders who have been members since 2007

I know toluxa1 and Gboliwe offered themselves the last time. I don't know if they are still willing and able to serve.

Handsome, strong, energetic males only. Joking. . .

Tgirl4real: Well done folks. More grace to you guys. Just put God first in all you do.

I have a few questions;

1. Is seun involved in anyway?

Tgirl4real:

2. @ r231, why limit the vacancy to a guy? If you intend getting 2 pple, one can actually be a lady. I believe there are things a woman will handle better. And, not just any woman, but a matured one.

Tgirl4real:

3. What admin costs are you referring to? Do you intend to start paying salaries and get an office? Or, do you have a physical office already?
.

Tgirl4real:

4. Do you plan to run an open ballot for the stakeholders or it's gonna be strictly interest based.
Sorry, if my questions have already been trashed. The thread is long already.
