DEBATE PROCEDURE
17:30 – Chairman, Seun, gives opening remarks; thread hits front page

17:45 – Debaters and judges take seats, register presence

17:55 – Coordinators, OAM4J & Jarus, declare the debate open

18:00 – 18:20 - Debaters post their arguments. Within 20 minutes. Better if less than 750 words to make it easier for judges to read all, but no harm making it longer. The arguments will be veiled (hidden) until after all the 4 debaters have posted theirs, so there wont be after-thoughts nad modifications.

18:20 – 18:40 – The argument-posts shall be unhidden for all, especially debaters and judges to read and study

18:40 – 19:00 - A debater takes on his opponent, attempts to puncture his opponent’s points. This a debater does by quoting, highlighting the area to puncture and countering it i.e regular way to reply on Nairaland.

19:00 – 19:20 – Debaters respond to punctured areas in his earlier arguments. He may buttress further.

19:20 – 19:40 – Judges post questions to debaters either based on what the debater has posted or just reasonable question within the theme. Judges should be specific as to who they are posting the questions to. E.g “Mr Obinoscopy, could you expatiate what you meant by so so so? or Katz, pls give examples of your claim that xxxx”. This is not compulsory. A judge that doesn’t have question to post to the debaters need not do so.

19:40 – 20:00 – Debaters respond to questions raised by judges.

20:00 – 20: 20 – 2 Questions will be entertained from the audience i.e viewers. This will be based on ‘fastest hand’. The coordinators will announce ‘audience, you may now ask your questions’. After the 2 questions have been posted, any other viewer-post will be hidden.

20:20 – 20:40 – Debaters respond to audience questions.

20:40 – 21:00 – Judges compile the scores and mail to coordinators: oam4J@yahoo.com and jarusnairaland@yahoo.com

21:00 – 21: 20 Coordinators announce results. Thread thrown open for regular Nairaland discussion.

Less than 24 hours to go.

Judges, please confirm your availability.

Debaters, I hope you have your scripts ready.

Pls keep eyes on the debate thread for updates.

ifyalways: Eid Mubarak to lagosboy and Jarus. May Allah(Swt)reward you both well.

Thanks Hajia.

Eid mubarak. Posting this as I prepare for eid here in my hometown

Wishing him and others injured speedy recovery.

I joined a company and in less than 4 months, sent on foreign training, my colleague(who reports to same boss as me) and others who had been in the system before me, but had not been sent on training, started gossiping. They must have talked about it while I was away but one of them stylishly mentioned it when I came back.

My approach is to ignore and pretend as if you don't know. Relate with them normally, don't try to outshine them.

freecocoa: So Jarus cheated on his then -girlfriend-now wife with a Nairalander hmm mrs jarus you better shine your eyes o, she's still on his bbm contact.
Rocky bebe you are beauriful but una sure say na una real age una dey give us so?

Lol. Na only that part you see
She knows her anyway

I thought Afenifere is meant to be non-partisan or at least in Alliance for Democracy (AD). Oh, Ebenezer Babalola, PDP

[quote author=Negro_Ntns] I was shocked he said hello. I was formulating another username just in case my tokens for mischief had run out.[/quote]

Seun is now having a sense of humour, although I have never seen him use these emoticons:

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]For upcoming debate topics, here are few thoughts to ponder:

1. On Social Policy

Population of Nigerians

*data from cia factbook.[/quote]Noted with thanks.

Koboland Radio: If the moderators would like some help in producing the debate for broadcast (ie, online radio), please ask them to get in touch. We can make it happen. Very easily.

It wont take all of 5 minutes and the event would be infinitely more exciting, infinitely more enlightening if the audience could hear the speakers debating the issues. Why, the audience could even join in and contribute to the discussion if they wanted to!

Lets make it happen.

Let's see what you can offer. Drop your email address and I'll get in touch.

Katsumoto: Jarus,

Na wa o.

I volunteered several hours ago but I am guessing you missed it. But it's cool if you want to exclude me.

Oh, I missed it. My apologies. Stamped. Will edit accordingly.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]Seun, you sneak up in here don't even say hello to Chief Negro.
Next time you do that I ask these mods to slap a two weeks ban on you. [/quote]At your service, Chief. Was about slamming him the ban before I saw his hello

Seun: You should create a different thread for each debate so they can be found easily.

Sure

I also have koboko in front of my car to bulala any motorist/okada that messes with me on the highway

Who will interview Musiwa? I can't wait o

Nigeria should have an easy ride in this group.

I'm happy the only match we have 4pm(before I close) is on a Saturday.

[quote author=Missy_B]Guilty thing!
I'll buzz you lerra. . .You better be there when I do.


I thought as much!


In case anyone has a problem leaving their email addy here, you can reach me on Missy_nairaland@ymail.com
I sent a PM to some mods - like Jarus and Odunnu, I guess you guys didn't get. You can send me a mail and I'll forward the questionnaire to you[/quote]Ok

shymexx: Hey Jarus,

I'll like to argue in favour of amalgamation - I'm in..

Pro-Nigeria!!

PS: We need erudite judges that would be able to decipher and judge arguments based on the content of the message - and not the messenger.

#Pan-African!

.
What we may need is a debater against amalgamation, not in favour of. We have more than enough for that already.

Seun shaGARRI: When my head correct for Nairaland, nobody interview me. Now when I don turn rogue, interview don come.

My story no pass Garri matter.

Nothing to see here.

Roguery has earned you stardom
Nigerians worship rogues

methodman: who wants to meet me? I stay in Ajah

Where in Ajah? That's my hood too.

[quote author=Missy_B]Yes[/quote]Ok. send your questions to me.

Can those of us that were interviewed in 2008 still get to be interviewed now? Most of the answers to my 2008 interviews have changed.

I want to interview Iyalode Desola

fyneguy: Huh? The Palms? When did it happen?

2009 or 2010, can't recall exactly. As busy as that place is, with people and cars, these guys robbed in broad evening.

berem: Alade Market/Allen roundabout have lot of policemen around that area.Policemen are seen in their bus patrolling Allen Avenue.there is always heavy traffic around that axis.how could the robbers succeeded in robbing?

Since the day The Palms was robbed in daylight I have stopped believing traffic is a barrier to their operation.

Ikengawo and Obinoscopy,

Pls confirm once again that you're debating that the 1914 amalgamation was NOT a historical mistake.


Cheddarking,

In the even that we got them right that they are arguing that it's not a mistake, then you may have to step aside in this month's edition.

All,
We need a standby debater FOR the motion to replace Cheddarking, in the event that Ikengawo and Obinoscopy confirm we have no misunderstood them

ogugua88: I am available on Saturday (my morning) for the debate.

6-9pm Nigerian time?

[quote author=Kilode?!]I'm very late to this. I guess I'll just stand in the overflow and read the debates...


But this??


O ga o. Na wa o. Anyway sha...

At least that guy forced a Japo-Afghani-Spaniard like Katsumoto to defend my e-honour



Good Initiative. But NL is old and big enough to start bringing in real world political actors for debates.

If Obama can go on Reddit, Tambuwal should be encouraged to come here and debate Sagamite...or Kobojunkie sef..[/quote]Good talk. We've actually engaged a couple of politicians here before like Dele Momodu(ex-presidential candidate), Dapo Lam Adesina(Oyo state commissioner).

We'll explore that possibility, even if will take a form of discussion, not debate - something like 'An evening with XXXX' where Nairalanders will ask questions from oour politician/public officer guest.

I have access to a couple of them (Atedo Peterside, SLS), I don fight Dele Momodu recently(so he won't even listen to me ), el-Rufai appears, based on his knoweledge of Nairaland and his twitter activities, someone that can agree to participate, we can give it a go; I know Tambuwal's media guy, but not sure he would want to participate in such. We can explore all these opportunities to bring these guys here for engagement.

cheddarking: I'm happy to argue for the Motion.

Jarus please let me know any further developments...

Oga, na 'for' you write here nw, which means you believe it's a historical mistake.
