dayokanu: After the debates, Can the floor be thrown open to insult people? If yes can you pencil down my name for that section

Emi Okunrin mewa,

Ogboju le oogun so omo aje niko. Eni ko o mo, Eni mo o ko,

O mu ida sile o fi ogun enu pani (He that put down the sword and used words to kill)

Nuezha: ...and let the DC build another.......but NO!
They expect all men to patronize ChumChum, MrBiggs, Tant'zers, Mamacass etc etc so that you can return to the village empty handed after 40yrs of service.

ilugunboy: Ok...so during the debating process..thread will be lock for comments to non-debaters?

ilugunboy: Jarus & OAM4J.

Aside the debaters......would others members be allow to make comment on the topic during the debating period.?

lateef4me: I sincerely hope the consent of these judges were sought before you guys nominated them.... ?

Ibime: Do we have set criteria for judging?

Some people like debaters who present well constructed facts whilst others like debaters who use a lot of obahiagbonisms

goldiam: well its a good idea but i think d debaters should be given enough time prior to the date of the debate as this will enable them gather their facts well before coming out to throw their points.not that u guys will just come up with any topic a day to the debate and expect them to feed us with baseless facts. Ta sante

Wislet: politics section and its bruhaha.
I hope some of the judges listed up there will not be the worst thing to happen to the debate, cos going by the exchange of words that took place already, hope there won't be 'bad blood' between the criticized judges and their critics.
Choose the judges veeeeryy carefully(that cannot be overstressed).
They must be neutral characters with long forgotten/NO history of fighting with or holding grudge against anyone(even on this thread).
In the absence of that, NO ONE will take their assessments seriously and there might be fresh fights over that.
Am not impressed with the drama on this thread so far(and the debate hasn't even started).
Could we please respect one another here and leave the name calling(whether Arewa, biafra,etc)outside the door?
Thnx.

chucky234: Jarus! Jarus!! Jarus!!!
Why can't you inform stake holders like us notice on time,haba JARUS.

debosky: Is PointB not the alter ego of the infamous BEAF?

If so I'm not certain he would make such a good judge.

I would love to participate but my time demands of recent will limit my participation.

ballabriggs: But twitter na 140 words now. How she come use talk all these things.

Besides where is the link to her handle?

Beware of Nigerian Journos aka Presstitutes. Apologies to Mr Jarus

jmaine: Jarus, the ethno-religious dynamics of the last election made certain things possible . .I strongly doubt if Buhari good showing in the Northern part would have been the same if an equally popular Northerner was competing against him . . .

ilugunboy: Haba..! that is not too much to do for Nairaland..just give me a low-down of how it works ke!

ilugunboy: Come....is there any monetary benefit as a panel member? If so, I nominate myself too then!

We chop the N/Land money together!

OAM4J: They are better as debaters. See people asking if we started the debate already, thanks to them

gunuvi: Did I read Akeredolu saying Buhari is a much loved man. I comment my reserve. Na wa for this ACN people o.

PointB: Jarus, do what you think is right. There is none one here without vested interest in politics or others stuff; that they have not shown it is a different ball game. Let not the personal whims and caprices of some old hypocrite derail you from your noble idea. The old man, may write a million words a minute, but that does not in anyway make him a majority opinion here, so if anyone's opinion can be discounted so could his.

In any case, I am not desperate to be on any panel, nor debate with anyone. Myself nomination is simple to ruffle a few feathers and test the depth of resentment by some I have bested in battle of wits and guile. Personally, I am not into pseudo-intellectualism prevalent on Nairaland, promoted solely intellectual quacks, and paid hacks, whose only source of 'kicks' is sounding off. Anyone who think himself intellectual, should publish their work, it's as simple as that.

In any case, I don't habour extreme view, and it is disingenuous to regard ferocious counter-attacks, aimed at delivery silencing blows as extreme, as often the case with some of the propagandist and extremists from the other side. Anyone who doesn't like my way, and manner of approach should refer to Nairaland Rules, or report me to the Admins or MODs. I offer, and will offer no apology. I make no commitment to change, as I matter of fact I can only get 'better' at things I do best. Leopard spots, never change.

My attacks against Tinubu and his NL paid goons (the Resident Hypocrite, by #1) will continue indefinitely. And any Yoruba poster who revel, and rejoice at the massacre of Igbos in the North, while paying no heed to Yoruba's casualty, will be promptly reminded by me that he/she has invariably declared 'Yorubas blood as cheap.' Now that is PointB, and I make no apologies, ever, for me.

So Jarus, whether you make me part of your panel or not changes nothing. I am not desperate to be part of the debate, nor will I withdraw my self nomination, but I wont make it easy for you to select me. You have to think through you decision, and be your own man!



#Kilode is not liked by all. He is an ACN goon!

Gbawe: Jarus, it should simply be about Nairalanders who are civil, rational and that most members of the forum don't have issues with. That is what you stated you would do originally. If you noticed, I deferred to Afam4eva's point that me and others should not be judges. There are many Nairalanders like e-guerilla, Eziachi, Ogugua88, kilode, Sky Blue, pukkah, PhysicsQED, edo Girl, Ajanlokoko, Paddy Lo, Northsharp, HNosegbe, Coogar, Mikeansy, Sisi Skills et al liked by everyone. Why would you want to replace those likeable and fair-minded people because of the notion you are "neutralizing" extreme opinions? The very point of selecting judges is ensuring they should not have extreme opinions so that they can look at the opinions of others dispassionately.

Katsumoto: @ jarus and ilugunboy

I am unsure of how you have defined extreme points of view. I also do not regularly debate with PointB. Can you elucidate further please? Thanks

lagerwhenindoubt: Avoid Sensitive and Emotional Topics I don't get it.. it is Politics, the life-blood of national governance.. a visible pivot of democratic institutions the world over..? now i get it? issues like flower-planting, ballot-box snatching and drilling-bore holes will be top priority while Violence against women, Boko-Haram, the role of Religion in National Governance, Sharia, Accountability for public officials etc will be dumbed-down into side comments that @Nairaland Owner will simply delete at a convenient time or worse shove into page 10.. please correct me if I am wrong

bubadaniel13: wonders shall not end,can you imagine this Dno Melaye of a man after impregnating an actress now he is signing a contract with Gold Cycle condom,what kind of controversial figure is this man,I thot he will bury his head in shame..
