I do not usually say thanks after every meal. I provide the funds used in purchasing the food items
There goes your ego, you don't know how to treat a woman

It's a simple situation

She does all the exhausting chores without complaining, now she's just fed up, and she's damn sure you'll be miserable without her.

Do you appreciate all her efforts? it boils down to the very little things you ignore

Do you tell her thank you after every meal? or compliment the food even if it tastes like the menstrual blood of a 12 year old limping toad?

A woman will do incredible things for you if she's aware her presence is recognized, her hard work valued and her labour cherished

Go back to where you lost it

Who dragged you to the mod?
Are you dreaming.
If you were the Judge? Wishful thinking
People using quota system to gain admission want to judge people using merit.
We use 200 and above not 180 bro
Why are you always like this?
Now you're channelling your impetus towards Abu and Abu's system of admission.
can't he(Abuklaw) state his personal opinion on the debate merely as an audience?

If he had ascribed all the praise to you, would you react the same way?

You're always quick to turn everything into a duel, you may have won the debate but you still have a lot of personality issues to deal with

Any judge who shows up now, will be carried away by the likes on each of your posts instead of reflecting critically at your debates.
EducationRe: Nairaland Interschool Debate Fourth Edition Chatroom by Catalyst4real: 11:44pm On May 08, 2016
Whatever you do, don't allow a judge who wasn't around during the debate to decide your scores.
Most of those judges end up being sentimental rather than cognitive

Institution: ABU Zaria

Topic: Social Media: A tool for measuring effective leadership

Stance: Opposing



In the acute existence of a truly effective government, do we really need the media as an indicator of reform, or as an informant of the government's desultory assiduity?

With concerted climax candour, I recognize the presence of Mr Seun Osewa, The CEO of Nairaland; The unbiased judges, The exuberant coordinators, my ever tenacious opponents, the congenial audience and my honourable colleague, Abuklaw


What is effective leadership?
In the most simplest definition, effective leaders are leaders who make things happen.

I have tried so diligently to see the logic in the debate, which upholds the media as a tool for the measurement of effective leadership, but I've found none.

We live in a country where the media only has a one directional purpose in politics. A tool for discharging fake promises, the painting of an ideal future, insurmountable lies and never-to-be-implemented visions.

And over the years, this trick has worked so flawlessly, solely because, Nigerians are one of the most gullible set of nationals to ever walk the earth.
When we elect leaders, we do not look out for qualities, It's always about casting out votes for a candidate who happens to be of the same tribe, religion and region as us; Still the reason Nigeria as a nation cannot boast of any effective leader. How are the mighty fallen!

Devalued currency, unemployment, heightened price of commodities, lack of fuel and electricity, bad roads, obsolete infrastructures, corruption and money looting, abandoned industries, inflation, untamed insurgencies, unstable monetary and fiscal policies. Etc
All these are results of a nation governed by ineffective leaders.
Quite the imbroglio, but if you do not need the media to be aware of all these pestilential qualities of ineffective leadership, you definitely don't need the media as an informant, on the emergence of an effective government .

And on a more Frank note, if the media becomes the oasis through which effective leadership is observed and monitored, then that "effective leadership" is flawed and a breeding ground for lethargy, fallacies and and lies. Progress Is suppose to be so intercalary and universally widespread that it can be felt not only in the media and urban areas, but perpetuated impeccably in the rural and less developed areas; Areas estranged to all forms of "Media"
That is what quintessential effective leaders bring.

When a truly functional government is in existence, I assure you, the media is the least source of enlightenment required.
The reformation and progress is felt from the top notch level down to grass level.

"The greatest aspect of change, does not consist in a change that can only be heard or seen, but one that can be felt"__Steve Jobs
There's no one more qualified enough to monitor change and progress incarnated by leaders, than the followers, the people who are being led.
How can the media be the tool for monitoring change? It is unthinkable and I cannot accept that

We keep reading in the papers, and in news, how the government are producing good roads, yet all the bad roads in my community have been untouched for more than 15 years.
The government keeps blabbing through the media about how foreign power plants are being installed and adopted, for years; yet and yet, stable electricity is still mythical in
Nigeria

The media is not a tool for measuring effective leadership, but an accessory delirium, through which obtuse exaggerations are disseminated to the masses. The media is now a blatant means of public deception and an exponential bridge for mind games.
I do not want to hear it in the radio, I do not want to see it on the television. I licentiously don't want to be told by my neighbors and neither do I want to read it in the papers. When I'm being governed by effective leaders, I want to feel it.

After the independence of United States of America, the then government pioneered and promoted agriculture(A niche Nigerian government has neglected) and through agriculture came the dawn of industrial revolution.
These were effective leaders, their impact was felt by their subjects, before there was any form of media.

Would I need to see it on the television if there's 24 hour electricity? Or hear it from the radio if petrol is available and affordable to the insolvent peasants?
Patients are still stranded in hospitals, their needs unmet, their ails unattended, and their groveling unchecked due to insufficient bed spaces.
More money now purchases fewer commodities(Inflation).
I didn't need the media to notice all these ineptitudes, I didn't need the media for the enlightenment of these national Lethargies, and I definitely won't need the media to tell me if there's an effective government in place and these loopholes bridged.

In conclusion, we need to get out of this grotesquely jejune shell and estimate progress through our horoscopes; The media will never be the proficient tool for the measurement of effective leadership and on this course I am vehemently obdurate.

Hi bro! I'm from the west, ekiti state to be precise. How can I qualify for ABU remedial programme? What are there requirements? I heard about her non-catchement policy. Did you think I should sit for another O-level and pry schl common entrance and fake my state of origin? Ready to give anything for MBBS. Please help!
You do not qualify for the remedial programme, as the programme is for the 19 northern states, including FCT
I can't outrightly assure you that faking your indigeneship will work, some have tried it and were caught , while some got away with it.

You don't need to sit for another o'level, your indigeneship isn't inscribed on it.

Now here is where the Argumentun ad Ignoratium set in that the judges name was not showing at the time of debate presupposes they were not online? The time we gave the judges was 12pm, and the two that was not available told us before hand that they will be available from the 12-4 which we agreed, and going by what happened it was only HerexG that was available at the time the debate kicked start I had to message and call the two other judges that accepted to judge on the condition that they will not actively participate but they will follow up, now tell me not seeing them online presupposes they didn't followed up? Even HerexG that was present from 12 till 9pm is bias as well? undecided undecided undecided undecided
Did I for once speak about any of the judges being biased?

The logic in my proposal is, For proper judgement they should have been around, and since you knew they wouldn't be around, why didn't you postpone it?
