[size=14pt]WELCOME![/size]

We are now in the quarter stage finals of NISD, third edition.

Thus far, for me, it has been quite an enlightening ride, and I trust it has been that and much more for you.

This edition started with 25 schools contending, and then it moved all the way down to 16 schools (elimination stage) and now, we have 8 schools standing tall for the quarter finals -- this stage will in turn also pave way to 4 schools for the next stage of the competition.

If you ask me what I think about the competition at this point, I'll say, indeed, as the race gets more interesting and competitive towards the finals, we are getting closer to having our winner emerge, but, which of these citadels will it be? All I see is each team stepping their game up towards outdoing the other at every stage of this competition, hence making it quite difficult to hatch a guess, well, a good fighting spirit they all exhibit I must say.


But no hard feelings debaters, I mean we love you all but a winner has got to emerge.


That said, let us now proceed to the battle of the day.


[size=14pt]Yes,


it is


The Quarter Finals' Opening Battle![/size]





All debaters, judges and coordinators should kindly take note that the debate rules, procedures and modalities still stands, do well to abide by them.



Thank you.

Joejonah:
Any of the date is okay for auchi polytechnic.

Nice response.

OAUTemitayo:
Why do you want to bring it forward?

The dates I mentioned on the post are free, thought it appropriate to have them filled up rather than having to wait 3 weeks before holding another debate.

Abuklaw:
ABU's representatives are okay as far as the schedule is concern but we can't speak for our opponent

obiZEAL:
We are OK with the date and time.

Nice.

Its another night to get enlightened, stay glued on as I now declare tonight's debate open.

darkenedrebel:
Really? But you were asking for the transcription of Freda Gatz bars some time ago. Anyway, I thought Empire was wack too. It's almost like they've ran out of stories, as the plot is now bland & formulaic.

Yes I did ask for that b'cuz am a music lover but am not cray about the series.

Why do you females employ the usage of litotes when describing the physical attributes of your kind?
That's the Miss World of 2000. Show some respect. That chick is smoking hot!

Am female, you don't expect I get turned on by my kind but you however is free to.

darkenedrebel:
Which one? Quantico or Empire?

I was referring to the former.

And speaking on empire, I also didn't get caught up by it, so I can say both series intrigued me not.

HTGAWM, now that's one series I enjoyed watching.

bykebyke:
I know it won't pass DarkenedRebel..Always letting Priyanka Chopra's face cloud his judgement.

Oh I see...chic ain't bad tho.

bykebyke:
Be like Byke.

A very awful series I tell ya, can't believe someone thought I'll love the series, apparently, that person knows me not.

GIYAZZ:
cc; Lalasticlala see rap food o. Lol. But on a more serious note, I think you should feature this thread on Front page. These guys worked hard to make this cypher a success for Nairaland and Nairalanders. All you could to recognize their efforts is move this to the FP. Please do so my brother. God bless

Endorsed!

Lalasticlala, pretty please.

I mean one could unwind listening to this after a long day, perfect time to have it on front page

Haha @ Limerick's bars.

Nice one guys, y'all did awesome

I may not have the technical words to describe how I felt listening and nodding to each of your bars but I do know that, it felt good, all of it, and I enjoyed listening.

Thanks for the tag.

UjSizzle:
Jon Snow is not dead

Sadly, these directors don't care about our feelings. Can't wait to see what they've got tho and the ep 1 better be worth the wait

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Can't seem to reach Fynestboi. Results will be posted as soon as he logs in.

Once again, Congratulations Team FutMinna.
