Epaul: Despite the wrong way Nunushokoto and pseudonomer went about cavilling at what they felt was bias on the part of Jarus and came across as inanely snippy, i still think they have got quite a point worthy of looking into. Jarus, no doubt, is a nifty piece of erudition matched with an intellectual finess who had been a judge in one of the debates i participated in. But given the fact that he is an OAU graduate, it is wrong for him to have presided over a cause that OAU was involved in. This is because no matter how fair Jarus might try to be, a reasonable man looking at it would contrarily think he was just selling the pup and was only playing the V.C in the legal case of GARBA V. UNIMAID where the V.C whose property was affected by a school rampage GARBA(a student) was involved in was made a Judge in a diciplinary panel that was to try GARBA. It was held the V.C couldn't have been fair and unbias. And that is as clear as white. 'Nemo judex in causa sua'(a man cannot be a judge in his own cause that is). That maxim is a rule against interest and bias. If fairness must not only be done but seen to have been done, then Jarus being an OAU graduate judging the cause of OAU would certainly never been seen to have done fairness. Apart from bias which the other party might snivel about, jarus in trying to prove he isn't biased in the cause of awarding scores might become unfair to OAU who otherwise might have had a better grading if graded by another umpire. Either ways Jarus finds himself in a tight position which sheerly derogates from his sense of good Judgement. You get the picture more if, for instance, you allow me, a DELSU undergraduate, to preside over a DELSU V. OAU match and DELSU was adjudged the winner. You helplessly might be tempted to think i was biased. And if you so fall into the temptation, you would be right and i would be less right even if i swear by heaven i wasn't biased. Thus, in view of this, Jarus shouldn't be brook to be a Judge in a debate match involving OAU. Ditto for other judges who fall into the ambit. This will make for fairness.
To the funaab reps, move on. You win some. You lose some. That's why it is a game. If i were a Judge, i still certainly would grade OAU better in this showing. Miracy and especially her team-mate put up a good one there.
