mooremadu:
why dont we have private schools participating in this debate? this is another form of marginalization. pls the coordinator should address this in subsequent online debates.

best regards

Hi there,

Point of order. The debate was open to all schools, the schools we have for this edition are those who showed commitments from the onset, unfortunately, the private schools did not.

Thank you.

Thank you debaters.

Get ready to drop your closing arguments by 9:30pm.

@Aminat508,

I see you dear

Weedcrusher:
I must commend both parties for driving their points home.

My question for the pro-subsidy removal team is, what do you think will be the reaction of the populace if the subsidy is removed knowing that when the last government did so, we all know it resulted in the Occupy Nigeria facedown?

My question for the anti-subsidy removal team is, do you not think now is the appropriate time to remove the subsidy that gulp down a substantial amount of the government revenue since the global oil price is record low and our refineries have started working?

I will appreciate factual responses.

Question from the audience, kindly respond debaters.

Menzo4u, Betacitizen, noskyboy, obiZEAL

Good day and welcome to the elimination round of Nairaland InterSchool Debate, Third edition.

You guessed right, we are still on the Battle of wits between schools and a winner must emerge at the finals of this competition.

The third edition of NISD started in the month of December, 2015 with essay submissions by the debaters which brought us to the 16 schools now contesting. Kindly go through this link and be updated, https://www.nairaland.com/2811855/nairaland-interschool-debate-third-edition#41154623

The elimination round commences this weekend and will run strictly on weekends starting on the 23rd of January to 14th February 2016.

This round which has 16 schools competing against the other will give way to 8 schools for the quarter finals of this competition.

Unlike the previous stage, this stage will not be assessed on essay submissions alone but also on how convincing the debaters respond to points raised by their opponents, as well as questions raised by the judges and the audience. Hence, it is paramount to state here that all representatives,

i) bring to board their A-game as our judges are already aware of their great task ahead.

ii) get themselves equipped with the needed resources for the debate, e.g battery, data, network, etc to avoid loss of points.


All enquiries and chit chats should be done here please https://www.nairaland.com/2446965/nairaland-interschool-debate-chatroom-third/15#41073706

Oh, I didn't get/know that.

@What is this about? Nairaland Interschool debate between schools strictly for undergraduates, and I believe you are not one ma'am or not?...@Sponsor, inasmuch as we need sponsors for this event, you will agree with me that its wrong for us to force it down anyone's throat, rather, it should be a willing gesture by anyone who wants to.

That said, on why you were contacted, you were nominated to be a judge in the debate, so should I still take your answer being no to that?
