larride: I think you contradict yourself with the above in bold. One thing that is certain in autocratic rule is consistency which is definitely lacking in our democracy, every elected official will abandon the work of his predecessors and want to make their own mark to the detriment of the people. Show me any successful/developed organization in the world that their leader's ain't autocratic in nature.

that is the general fallacy but il oppose that.gen murtala's government lasted 4 just 6 months without notice.
a military leader can come up today and get killed tomorrow by another.tell me,how is this consistent

larride: My esteemed Judges, illustrious co-ordinators, fellow co-debaters, learned audience, all other protocols duly observed. I'm Larride [chief speaker representing Uniosun] and I'm indeed honoured to oppose the motion that states: Does Nigeria really need Civilian rule [or democracy] to develop?





let's check fuel price during the military and civilian regime:



History of fuel price increases in Nigeria
Gowon, 1973: 6k to 8.45k (40.8%)

Yar’Adua, June 2007: N65 (-15.38%)
Jonathan, January 1, 2012: between N138 to N250 (112.31 to 284.62%)


With the above, we can say that during the military era, the fuel price was relatively stable and reasonable unlike when we returned back to the civilian rule, The general notion is that things will get better, but it actually got worse. The military left fuel price at #20 but today fuel sells for #95, yet we are

Taking a look at the price list,we can consider the increase as somthing normal economically-u cant expect the price of somthing 30 years ago to remain d same till now
nd futher,the first exorbitant change wuz made by obasanjo in 1978 while ruling a military government and the most exiorbitant increase in percentage wuz during babangida's military regim
dont let us ignore that the first and Only decrease in price wuz made during obasanjo's civilian rule followed by yar'dua's.
the increase intially proposed by jonathan wuz #144 bt because d government is democratic,we were able to cry out protest against it leading to it's reduction bt if the government had beenn military,all we cn do is to sit down and accept fate.

Oluwatola5: We earnestly rejoice at the news that the protracted stike is finally winding up, but still the possibility of we freshers staying at home for the first 4(or even more, who knows) months in 2014 lingers on, particularly for those who arent jobbing(like me), making the brain go on such a long vacation isnt such a good idea and can profundly affect us when finally we resume. So as we keep hopes alive of resuming lets also continue to task our brain.


While pondering on how i could avoid time profligacy, i did this so i decided to come here and share it with you guys mayhaps it could be of help to some of you, students will be coming back for xmas break on the 24th(i think), if you know you have someone, or better put, if you know you have people there, tell them to gather course notes and other course materials for you from different students, it doesnt matter if they arent studying the course you are going in for, they could get them from friends on your behalf, just make next year academically militant, afterall, if not for this over-stretched strike, we ought to resume next year in January. And for those who are still believing God concerning their admission issue, i pray God's favour and miracle of how-did-it-happen is bestowed upon you all IJN.




On a softer note, The yuletide bells are seriously jingling, so Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you guys in advance, you guys should start sending your gifts to me oo, it isnt to early to receive them, thanks in anticipation and have a nice day sweeries.
