I have been thinking of who to personally nominate since I put up the thread up hours ago, unlike previous years. The person that had been on my mind since the beginning of the year somehow got derailed couple of months back. My regualar nominee -Ibime- wasn't so active here this year. I'm still thinking of who to nominate.

^^^^
It doesn't matter when one joins, even a member that joined last month can be nominated provided the person nominating him/her can prove his impact.

Assalamu alaikum waramatullahi wabarakatuhu and Hi to the Tobas of this section,

We thank almighty Allah for making us witness another year-end. As many of us are aware, this is the time of the year we organize SECTIONAL POSTER OF THE YEAR AWARDS across all Nairaland sections. This officially started in 2009. In 2009, MUHSIN won the award(https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-368303.0.html) beating Lagosboy by 4 votes; in the next year - 2010, LAGOSBOY emerged winner beating Chakula by a single vote(https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-559875.32.html).

Who will emerge winner in 2011? You decide!

Rules:
1, Only 1 nomination per member
2, Any nominee that has been banned or warned twice this year will be disqualified
3, Moderator cannot be nominated in his/her section but may be nominated in other sections
4, Nominee must be active in the section
5, Nominee must be forum rule-abiding and not a trouble-maker(passionate defence of one's opinions is no trouble-making though)
6, Top 3 nominees will be up for poll for another 2 weeks, where the winner will be announced at the expiration of the voting
7, Where there is tie, the mod reserves the right to either choose one or extend the nomination/voting by 24 hours


NOMINATION ends on December 15, 2011
VOTING starts December 16, 2011 and ends December 30 where the winner will be announced

15/12/2011
BRIEF CITATION OF FINALISTS
1, DEOLS Deols joined Nairaland in 2008 but in no year has she been more active than 2011. She opened educative threads, brings interesting and refreshing, and most times mid-way, perspectives to issues. She knows her onions and defends the deen here and elsewhere. She is also level headed and hardly gets angry, even as it is almost impossible not to be, in this section. She also has a good sense of humour. No doubt, Deols was a very valuable member of this section in 2011.

2, LAGOSSHIA: Although he shares different views on few issues from other members of the section, he has no doubt compocted himself so well that even people that disagree with him on the issues nominated him. He has continued to educate us on his beliefs, while uniting with other Muslims in areas of similiarities, especially during attacks from our 'friends' from the main board. That Lagosshia is a quality addition here in 2011 is not in doubts.

3, SWEETNECTA: Sweetnecta got nominations last year but never made it to the final list. He dwelled more in the Religion section last year, engaging the anti-Islam posters, but he was active here too in the outgoing year in addition to his area of specialization of bursting lies and propaganda against Islam in the other end. Sweetnecta is no doubt highly knowledgeable about Islam and deploys his knowledge with wisdom. Clearly, he is one of the shining lights of this section

2010 was won by Muhsin, 2011 by Lagosboy, who takes the cake in 2011?

2011 OFFICIAL POLITICS SECTION POSTER OF THE YEAR
As 2011 rolls to an end, we say thank you to everyone that has contributed to making this section tick in the outgoing year - from the active contributors to the passive readers even to the unregistered guest viewers.

As has become traditional on Nairaland, we are organizing this year's edition of OFFICIAL POSTER OF THE YEAR AWARD. For those who are new here, this event started officially in 2009 but that of Politics Section was not officially recognized in 2009 because of a flawed process. In the hotly contested 2010 edition, Dapobear won the prize, beating Katsumoto by one vote while Kobojunkie emerged 2nd runners-up: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-535083.0.html

Now it's 2011 edition? Who will take the prize? Will Dapobear retain it? Will Katsumoto do better? Or will the ever-present Kobojunkie stage a surprise comeback? Or will the new 'men of the moment' take the gong? You decide!

Rules:
1, Only 1 nomination per user
2, Any nominee that has been banned or warned twice this year will be disqualified
3, Moderator cannot be nominated in his/her section but may be nominated in other sections
4, Nominee must be active in the section
5, Nominee must be forum rule-abiding and not a trouble-maker(passionate defence of one's opinions is no trouble-making though)
6, Top 3 nominees will be up for poll for another 2 weeks, where the winner will be announced at the expiration of the voting
7, Where there is tie, the mod reserves the right to either choose one or extend the nomination/voting by 24 hours


NOMINATION ends on December 15, 2011
VOTING starts December 16, 2011 and ends December 30 where the winner will be announced.

Start nominating

UPDATED 15 DEC 2011
BRIEF CITATION OF THE FINALISTS

1, GBAWE: Gbawe joined Nairaland in 2009 but hugged limelight in 2011 in the heated run-up to 2011 elections - one of the most epochal periods in the history of Nairaland Politics Section. He started as a strong defender of Ribadu candidacy but went beyond to be the strongest defender of ACN and their leader, Bola Tinubu, on Nairaland. He writes well and presents his arguments with logic. He is not known for insulting - a quality that is scarce in this part of Nairaland. He argues passionately about his convictions. For this he commands a good following in the Politics Section of Nairaland, especially among the 'progressives' and 'opposition'.


2, ONLYTRUTH: Recently crowned Eze Ndigbo Nairaland, Onlytruth has been on Nairaland since 2009 and has become the rallying point for his people. He is more known for his defence of his people, but unlike many others, does so without breaching the rules - a quality that is rare on Nairaland.

3, KATSUMOTO: Katsumoto is the only finalist last year that still made it to the final again this year. He lost the award by one vote to Dapo-bear in 2010. Highly respected on the politics section for his analytical prowess and debating skills. He is very visible in serious topics, marshaling facts to buttress his arguments. His choice of words in his comments is another strong point for him. Katsumoto's main turf are arguments that border on Igbo, Biafra and related issues. He is a respected voice in those areas.

By Mahmud Jega

One day in June 1967, the town of Ilorin, where we then lived, suddenly exploded in wild celebration. Everywhere you looked, people were dancing and singing in the streets. Small kids though we were, we also poured into the garden of our house and joined our neighbours in the wild celebration.

What was all the excitement about? Rumours had swept Ilorin and the entire North that Lt-Col Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Military Governor of the Eastern Region and head of the secessionist state of Biafra, had died. The celebrations only ended that evening when the Military Governor of the North, Lt-Col Hassan Usman Katsina, spoke on the radio and denied the rumour.

Ojukwu was by then the Number One hate figure in Nigeria, the loyalist part of it. Weeks later, when we moved out of Ilorin following the creation of states and I went to school in Jega, in the then North Western State, the widespread hatred for Ojukwu continued unabated.

Ojukwu bashing dominated the early years of our lives in the late 1960s. The Nigeria Army composed many songs against Ojukwu and Biafra, which were played on the radio every day. Every poet in the North, big or small, also composed a song to denigrate Ojukwu.

Endless stories, all of them wishfully negative, were being told about the Biafran leader. We heard in those days that the Sarkin Ruwan Argungu Ibrahim Makwashe offered to bring Ojukwu’s face to appear in a calabash of water so his eyes could be speared, but that General Yakubu Gowon rejected the offer. [We couldn’t understand why!]

One of the commonest songs sang in those days was:

Ojukwu dan tawaye [Ojukwu the rebel],

Dan Mama mai gajeren kwana [Mama’s son with short sleep].

Probably the commonest war song on the radio, sang by Federal soldiers and said to have been composed by then Captain Mamman Vatsa, was:

Idan kunaso mu shirya [If you want us to reconcile],

Ku karbi dokokin gwamnati [Accept government’s orders]

Ku janye sunan Biafra [Revoke the name “Biafra”],

Ku aika da wadansu member [Send some of your members],

Su gana da Gowon mai girma [To meet His Excellency Gowon]

Karya Ojukwu yana fadi [Ojukwu is telling lies],

Wanga yakin yafi karfinsa [This war is beyond his power].

Dr. Okpara ma ya gudu [Dr. Okpara has run away]

Dr. Zik ma ya gudu [Dr. Zik has also ran away]

Munci Nsukka, munci Bonny, munci Enugu [We have captured Nsukka, Bonny and Enugu]

Karyan Igbo ta kare [The Igbo lie is finished]!


In our own village, the popular local poet Dan Gwamna composed a song which he used to sing while playing with achikokko, a hand instrument made from palm fronds with plant seeds inside. He said:

Ubangiji Allah yasa a kamikke Ojukwu [May Allah cause Ojukwu’s arrest]

A kawo shi Nigeria abishi ana kallo [So he will be brought to Nigeria and everyone will go and see him]

Idan kallon ya isa asa shi awon tonka [When we finish seeing him, we make him to pound pepper]

Idan tonkan ya isa asashi awon shuni [When the pepper is enough, we make him to pound dye]

Idan shunin ya isa ya dauko galmatai [When the dye is enough, he should bring his hoe]

Mutai kwabin laka [Let’s go work on mud]

Ojukwu dan kuikuyon kare bakada rana [Ojukwu is a small dog which has no use]

Yana daula cikin haki kamar gwamnan kusa [He is running in the grass like the governor of rats]…

In Sokoto too, where we spent our holidays, the local singer Shu’aibu Tsamaye used to move from house to house, singing:

Nsukka ma an rike [Nsukka is captured]

Har Anacha an rike [Onitsha too is captured]

Har Enugu an rike [Enugu too is captured]

Kuma bashida kudin kashi [He has no money to spend]

Sai suda ta isheshi bakin garka [A small bird went to him]

Tana fadin “Soja suna zuwa Ojukwu” [And said “Ojukwu, soldiers are coming’]

Mamman Shuwa na ishema [Mamman Shuwa will find you]

Yacce mata shin wagga suda [He said to her ‘you small bird’]

Ban iya shegantaka ba [I don’t like idiocy]

Gobe gudu zaniyi [I will run away tomorrow]

In shiga jirgin sama [I will enter a plane]

Mai saukar ungulu [One that lands like a vulture]

Sai suda naji tai jawabi tacce mishi [But the small bird said]

In Adar kakai kayi [You can run to Adar]

In tsibiri kakai kayi [Or run to an island]

To dada mun game kasa [We have captured the country]

Mun lauyeta mun zaman mata Jamhuriya [An made it a republic]

Inko ka kiya, yanzu igwa na ishe ma [If you don’t run, artillery will soon find you]

Kafin karfe bakawai [Before 7o’clock]

Da bindiga mai wutaitai [With guns blazing fire]…

It was amazing that in later years, the beard became associated in this land with Muslim radicalism. For most of the 1970s, a bushy beard was a bad word in Northern Nigeria because of Chief Ojukwu’s very thick beard during the Civil War!

Let us fast forward to 1982, when President Shehu Shagari, who had granted a pardon to General Yakubu Gowon a year earlier, granted Ojukwu a pardon and facilitated his return from exile in Ivory Coast. Apparently, Shagari’s ruling NPN was looking for a tool to wrench the Igbos away from the NPP and Zik, and they thought Ojukwu could do the job. Granting Ojukwu a pardon was however a very big political gamble for Shagari, given the feelings in the North. When Ojukwu returned and NPN elements such as Dr. Alex Ekwueme and Dr. Chuba Okadigbo were falling over themselves to receive him, there was open resentment in the North.

Soon as Ojukwu settled down, he went to Kano to see the Emir Ado Bayero, who he described as his “very good friend.” To most Northerners at the time, that was scandalous. During the Civil War, rumours had it that Emir Ado had constructed a big cage in which Ojukwu would be paraded around Nigeria when he was captured.

Anyway, with Ojukwu back in the East in 1982, NPN and NPP immediately began a frantic contest to get him to join their parties. It was in that atmosphere that I arrived in old Anambra State in August 1982 for my NYSC service year. The Anambra State-owned Nigerian Satellite newspaper, managed at the time by the great writer Cyprian Ekwensi, campaigned vigorously for Ojukwu to join NPP, with banner headlines such as “Ikemba greets Zik again!” Eventually, after much suspense, Ojukwu declared for NPN.

In November 1982, from my base at Nnobi only 5 kilometres away, I entered Ojukwu’s hometown of Nnewi with trepidation, as any Northerner must in those days. A Hausa youth corps member based in Nnewi at the time however told me that he visited Ojukwu’s mum in her house! He said she was a very nice woman and that she received him very well. When he told his own mother in Zaria about the visit, she was horrified and warned him never to step into Ojukwu’s home again!

As the 1983 general elections approached, the contest between the Anambra NPN, now led by Ojukwu, and NPP led by Zik and Governor Jim Nwobodo became very hot and often violent. Ojukwu, who had received the traditional title of Ikemba of Nnewi upon his return, had a personal militia called the Ikemba Front while NPP had the Nwobodo Vanguard. Several times on my way to Enugu from Nkpor Junction, I encountered the two groups on their way to political rallies. They rode dangerously in Kombi buses, with militiamen hanging on the doors and roofs, brandishing weapons, forcing all other vehicles off the road.


In May or June 1983, Ojukwu himself came to my station at Nnobi for a rally, and I went to see him. He arrived in a fleet of red Mercedes Jeeps. When he alighted from the jeep and walked to the podium, the red-shirted Ikemba Front militiamen formed a guard of honour on both sides of the red carpet. As he walked slowly, the IF men shouted, “Ikemba! Ikemba! Ikemba!”

Ojukwu wore a blue jeans trouser and a t-shirt and he waved a fly whisk. He spoke very imperiously, holding the mike very close to his mouth, aligning his head at a sharp angle, turning very sharply every now and then. He spoke in Igbo, so I could not get the gist of what he said. Incidentally, NPN’s governorship candidate in old Anambra that year was Chief C.C. Onoh, father of beauty queen Bianca Onoh, who later became Ojukwu’s wife.

In the ensuing elections, FEDECO declared that C.C. Onoh had defeated Jim Nwobodo, but when the senatorial election results were announced, Ojukwu, NPN’s candidate for Anambra South, “lost” to NPP candidate Dr. Edwin Onwudiwe. Many newspapers said at the time that it was all scripted by Dr. Umaru Dikko and the NPN to use Ojukwu to win the East and then dump him. As one who lived in Anambra State that year, it did look like that to me.


Anyway, when General Buhari overthrew the Second Republic a few months later and herded hundreds of politicians, including Ojukwu, into detention, some Southern newspapers insinuated that the Northern Generals had fulfilled their aim of getting Ojukwu behind bars to avenge for the Civil War. This pressure probably led to his early release in October 1984, when others remained in detention.

Since then, Ojukwu’s relationship with the North remained cool and fragile, despite some attempts at a thaw. Ojukwu was one of the Abacha regime’s goodwill ambassadors and travelled on its behalf to many countries. In 1994, I think, the Abacha regime’s friends brought him to Kaduna, where he delivered a lecture at Hassan Katsina House.

In July 1996 or so, Ojukwu was in Sokoto to attend the presentation of staff of office to Sultan Muhammadu Maccido. He was given a front row seat and television cameras kept zooming at him. I cannot remember another major foray into the North by Ojukwu after that one, though there could have been some.

Despite all those events, Northerners were always sceptical about the Ikemba. Ojukwu himself never showed much remorse, much less apologise, for the Civil War. He saw himself and the Igbo as victims of it, while in the North, he is seen as the man who caused it, unfairly perhaps.


The last public encounter that he had around here tended to accentuate those feelings. Last year, Ojukwu attended a ceremony in Abuja to receive his pension from the Military Pension Office, supposedly a peace gesture to pre-Civil War Igbo officers. Ojukwu rapped the MC for referring to him as Lieutenant Colonel, which was his rank when Gowon dismissed him from the Army in 1967! He said he is a “General.” How did that sound to people on the Federal side during the war?

Now that the Ikemba has died, we should expect Northern leaders to fall other themselves to pay tributes to him. But don’t be deceived; they didn’t love him. Only that, unlike in 1967, no one is going to dance in jubilation.

Informative piece.

I had read the story in the newspapers earlier in the day and never imagined it could be someone I knew, until my senior colleague in office who is also a popular Nairalander, broke the news to me as we met downstairs - he asked whether I had heard about the Nigerian student that was shot in Chicago, I said 'yes' and when he told me it was our Nairaland colleague 'Bawomolo', I almost collapsed. I went back to my desk, disturbed, unsettled, restless for the rest of teh day. My colleagues in office found it hard to believe I can be that touched by the death of someone I knew on just on the internet. It was a sad day for me.

More surprising was knowing he was just 21! I could have sworn he was in his late 20s or early 30s, going by his depth!!!

NB: To avoid disclosing people's names and maintain anonymity -the strongest point of NL - I have decided to use initials of depositors/acct holders for donors whose NL IDs were not disclosed in the payment details, so kindly look out for your initials or those of the person used as depositors to identify your confirmations. You may send mail to nairalandcharity@gmail.com if you have any issues.

joshfash:
Mine is not included now, sent via card transfer on sunday
jarus pls confirm!

send the payment details(name of a/c holder) and amount to nairalandcharity@gmail.com.

@oyinmama,
Your payment has been received. Will include it in the updated list later today.

Knowing the poster of this topic as one unprincipled political jobber looking for cheap popularity, I take his posts, here and on FB, with a pinch of salt. Having ignored his past attempts to drag me into one Kwara Political Group as well as his activities on Facebook, I don't take him seriously. Political neophytes and emergency activists clutch at all available straw to get attention.

Now, I am an unapologetic Buhari supporter and I spent my energy and resources working for him in the last elections. But, will I advise him to contest in 2015? I don't think so. Will I vote for him if he decides to contest? Definitely yes.

maki:
@r321 can u plz confirm my deposit wit teller no 8480785 - gtb, name of depositor bernard james,
may God bless u all,

Not yet confirmed as at 17:05 hrs Nigerian time. Maybe later today as some banks delay posting till after closing hours.

By Monday, we will continue with the furnishing and getting other things for them. By Friday next week, by God's grace, we should have set them up fully and decide on the continuity of this kind of humanitarian service as is being mooted on the other thread on Nairaland Charity.

May almighty Allah make us witness many more on earth, with eeman and good health.

Many thanks for the generous comment so far. We feel we should not just lament bad leadership in our country, we can also do our own quota. In the absence of a social services programme for the economically disadvantaged, our little efforts can go a long in bringing smiles to their faces. We cannot continue to pontificate on NL, we should start by walking our talks.
