Maintaining a straight face with my ink firmly placed at the top-left corner of my slate as I script down my words while surveying the clumsy town of Ile-Ife. It's no news that a new king has been selected by who or whatsoever,long last the crown and all other royal attributes.

Thoughts ran through my then saturated head as a rickety bus smuggled me through the hold up along the town's major road, I saw people, including old women and men lined by the road, waiting patiently and impatiently for the arrival of the new king, such a glorious day it was for his majesty. But let it be known that the same thing was done for his predecessor, he came, saw and conquered so many things but not issues and problems attributed and pertaining to his town, Ile-Ife.

It is a known fact that kings in Ile-Ife have always been one of the richest kings in the nation but the sorry irony is that the town, Ile-Ife is one of the poorest and undeveloped towns in the history of our nation.

Keeping close to my reasons in order to justify my claim, the town has no major company, any idea of such goes into extinction after a while, whoever knows why, no standard secondary school, the struggling-to-be-standard ones which an education enthusiast can boast of is nothing more than two, maybe three, or probable three and a half, still counting though. Just one and a half standard hospital(s), no IT centre, no resort centre, no cinema, no eatery (except two Bukateria forming Behind), just two young-shall-grow supermarkets, no standard road, everything seems like streets, no water system, no electricity, well that's a national sentence, a couple on and off radio stations, no TV station (ruling out that living but dead NTA Ile-Ife).
I bet, if not for Obafemi Awolowo University which brought about a teaching hospital complex, the town would have been nothing more than a concentrated village in the deep forest of Nassarawa where hunters and farmers, probably fishermen too, would exzhibit their skills and where dubious politicians and thieves can seek hideout till things die down.

This town accommodates mostly uncivilised people, hustlers, market women, teachers, sole proprietors, a few OAU/OAUTHC workers, local government workers, bank workers, okada riders and a couple bus drivers and conductors.If you belong not to any of the mentioned categories, you had better find an alternative destination. The only engineers are phone and desktop repairers. This is due to the fact that once the youths graduate from school, off they go, flooding the already flooded metropolises, because this town is limited in supply and delimited in demand.

A couple research revealed a somewhat superstitious belief that the static status of the town is due to the great belief and worship of idols by the leaders of the town. Well if this is so, then the gods need to be summoned from wherever into an open space for interrogation, is it that they don't like development? or is it that the idols love being stashed in a cave-live thrash after a tiring journey round a pot-hole filled town all in the name of Festival? Don't they want to get their heads chilled in an air conditioned room or probably next to an ocean shore as they perform their supposed miracles? Then why would they go against development??

Moreover, then I think this town needs change, some trenches need some cutting, some benches need arranging, some weeds need uprooting, some pillars need erecting, some entities need banishing, and some infrastructures need importing because some people there are suffocating, they need a change to keep surviving.

Let's not take this with a pinch of salt, so we need someone that knows somebody that knows a woman whose talent is gossiping to broadcast these facts around the market to the reach of the market gatekeeper who will in turn tell the palace guard while chilling together at the bar, then this should reach the king :

A king is meant to bring development to his town, directly or indirectly with his influence, not just sit and welcome visitors, as foreigners and politicians come and go like they are chilling with a hooker. His majesty should ask questions on what is wrong and wonder what the so-called local government officials have been doing. His majesty should pray for the town if that is what we need. His majesty should encourage and do something for the youths, they only can bring development, not the old chiefs and living ancestors in the hoods.

His majesty will reason with this? Maybe, Maybe not!
I can go on divulging my views, but this candle runs out like Usian being prefixed by a cheetar.

How do you think the next edition might improve, comment below...

It all started with a dilemma, whether or whether not, doubts and contemplation but a very strong hold of faith. When some education enthusiasts decided to kick-start another edition of the most successful online debate competition, in May, last year. After much checking and balancing, it got started with an entry level, proceeded to group stage, then to the final where Funaab emerged as the winner.

As another edition peeps through the door hole, we decided to give you guys a quick run-through of how it all went down, which is the purpose of this thread, therefore, get a bottle of chilled coke, or probably a bag of pure water, have you? Now read along.

It all started like a gentle breeze that succeeds a worrisome ocean wave, with an introduction thread where interested students were instructed to make their interests known, to represent their respective institutions. Several interests came in , but of the many, few institutions were granted access into the competition, 20 to be precise. Why? Because some did not meet up with the minimum requirement, which states "Before a school can be registered, at least 3 students of the school must show interest". So disappointing some really desperate students of that institution couldn't get their great citadel on the battle train due to lack of awareness or probably negligence from their fellow school mates, so sad, i mean it, so sad.

On to the next one, the students only made their intentions known, but mere intentions have no value unless coupled with appropriate actions. The shortlisted students were later instructed to pick any educational topic, write nothing less than 500words for or against the topic and forward it to the mail of the judges. The received arguments were copied and pasted here on this forum without modification. Nairalanders rated, hailed, hyped, appreciated and destructively criticized some of the arguments, as expected, it was very interesting. You can check the thread here. But I must mention, of all the arguments, Microflux, who goes by the name Sobaloju Israel Dara got me thinking quite deeply, he juxtaposed his nice points and structurally perfect lexicals as he dismantled the topic "POLITICAL PARTIES SHOULD ENGAGE MORE YOUNG PEOPLE". Big ups to him.

Moving forward with the speed of a tire rolling down a smooth slope, after the entry stage, 6 schools made it out of the brawl into the qualifiers, all of which are: Funaab, Abu Zaria, the defending champion LASU, Unilorin, Ibadan Poly and the aluta inclined OAU. This got some of the students of the qualified schools raising their shoulders so high above their head, surfing round the forum with their bragging rights all over their signatures, at the envy of other students. Meanwhile, they were behind doors sharpening their literary swords and polishing their shields for the battle ahead, as they knew they were not out of the woods yet.
The six schools were paired, which resulted into the following fixtures:

-OAU VS ABU ZARIA
-UNILORIN S FUNAAB
-LASU VS IBADAN POLY

They were later given topics to battle on, but the event I will never cease to talk about is that of OAU against Abu Zaria, with the topic "
Decamping of Political office holder: an indication of a better nation or a rebrand of national problems?". What a day! The argument got me glued to a screen for hours, refreshing pages hoping to get a flaw to pick on but it never came, they threw facts that would make you think they were political gods, they constructed lines that would make you think google is a learner, really, the punches were out of this world. Leaving behind the deft oratory skills and impressive diction of the first presenter for OAU, Microflux. Miracy, also an OAU student and an ex Miss Nairaland stood her ground even when the floors were shaky as she insisted on the fact that Decamping of Political office holder is an indication of a better nation, what boldness from an unexpected gender. When I thought she already stole the show, Danjuma Joseph, an opponent, student of Abu Zaria watered all her previously blazing points with his factual flows that got me thinking like there was no point better than his, he nailed the topic and got the judges nodding. But at the end of the show, OAU emerged as the winner,I have always trusted the so-called Great Ife.

The other events too were thrilling, but let's save the talk for another day. At the end of this stage, the top 4 schools with the highest scores made it to the next stage, leaving Lasu, the defending champion and Unilorin behind. But I must say a big shout out to Sammyscholar, he didn't fall my hand on the topic[i] "Legalizing Abortion In Nigera"[/i], such a support .

Moving on to the next stage which featured the top 4 institutions with the most online debate prowess, or so to say, in Nigeria as at 2014, beef is allowed . The four institutions were grouped up and made to battle against one another and the first two institutions topping the group made it to the grand finale while the third on the list settled for the bronze, third place.

The third place was OAU as decided from the final grouping. They packed their wounded parts from the battle field, transferred aggression of not making the final on to innocent sideline spectators while trying to prove that they are really worthy of the final but luck did not pass the ball to them. But at least they got something out of the event and have it lifted back home to show their expectant supporters, a journey not wasted.

The grand finale came too fast, we thought the event would never end but the most anticipated part of it came in almost without knocking. It featured the almighty giants of Funaab and the great elephantine jumbos of Ibadan Poly. The subject matter was no argument, each speaker was
to speak on his or her discipline and the implications on nation building. Very challenging subject but the intellectual gladiators all melt it down to my surprise. They spitted facts and eye-opening points that almost got me regretting studying my course instead of theirs'. Then their went again, Sammyscholar, studying Procurement and Supply Chain Management (PSCM) in Ibadan Poly, at first I was like "What sorta course with such strange name?". But the moment where he said

No nation can develop without thrive and stride in its business sector. PSCM has been playing a vital and palpable role in this area. It has redefined our business landscape from what it formally used to be and has given it a new picture. It gives companies leverage ground and helps them gain competitive advantages over their competitors by focusing more on their core competencies while contracting out their non-competence areas to the third party organizations within the supply chain. According to Arjan Van Weele; "the competition is no longer between business to business, but between the Procurement and Supply Chain department of one company and another."

, knocked me off my seat and got me staggering for an empty support, then I noticed I was not alone, looked around me and saw spectators all silent, like they could no more see with their eyes and they all resorted to opening their mouths to support their vision, how come no one has ever thought of such fact was the question that filled the air, waiting for someone to pick it up and answer, it was thrilling.

Then we were all at the verge of giving up and declaring Ibadan Poly the winner, pseudonomer springed up with one of the best courses in Nigeria, though disputable, Computer Science. He had too many points as expected, therefore, he won so many souls, jaws dropped. But not everyone could be convinced though, a spectator almost fell his hand when he commented "This pseudonomer no get point, computer science is not a course, na training, dem dey do am under bridge for Lag", the factless fact got other spectators laughing and pointing mockery fingers at pseudonomer, who knows how much it affected him.

Finally, the last stroke that broke the camel's back was that of Nunushokoto, also for Funaab, he gave us no other reason to think otherwise, he held us tightly and got us bounded to his circumference. The counter attack of darrytoz was also strong, but not enough to get his citadel, IbadanPoly, the gold, FUNAAB was declared winner.

The atmosphere was rowdy, joy filled the air as the already ready supporters of FUNAAB flooded the arena, dancing and throwing Funaab flags all over the area, before I could say Jack, the representatives of Funaab were already in the air, being lifted by their supporters, it must have been a very glorious day for them. Meanwhile, on the same ground, there were sober looks at some corners, Ibadan poly students got their heads ducked in between their knees, though victorious, they really wanted to take the lead. There were also indifferent set of individuals, they care not about the winner nor the runner-up, they were just there to feed their hungry eyes.

That was how it all went down, all thanks to God for the great success of the edition. Sincere appreciation to all those who have been supporting this event. Big ups to Oga Seun for such a great platform well presented for the venue, special thanks to lalasticlala, r231, Caracta, Matthew Briggs, JARUS, Jaybee3, TGIRL4REAL, OBINOSCOPY, UJ-SIZZLE, Olawalebabs, Richiez, HIDENTITY, Fynestboi, and Fattbabakay.

Also thanks to all participants, supporters and critics. Thanks for all appreciation, recommendations, condemnation and criticism.

As the flight of the next edition prepares to take off, we shall clear the air space and confirm the weather condition for your security, you just tighten your seat belt and be coperative, you will definitely enjoy it.
