Alicia Keys, your opening essay was great! The way you elaborated your facts, your examples, your mathematical calculations were splendid. But just like Mazi and some audience countered, you failed to provide convincing solutions in your essay. You however clarified that in your responses to their rebuttals.

Mazi_Omenuko, there's no doubt you are an icon in writing. The ease with which the words come out from your posts is very amazing. However this is a debate and as such we demand that you be very bold and persuasive when making your points known.

Deschyko, your essay was very vague and sometimes incomprehensible. But you were able to make ammends in your replies to rebuttals and questions. Weldone.

Sammytolly4Jesus, your essay was very scanty with less examples and facts. Also your late response to your fellow contestants, audience and judges was almost responsible for your downfall. If you had not come back online to respond to the questions, you might have gotten a lower score.

All in all, you guys tried. Alicia was the first on all Judges list and she had the highest scores in terms of Logic, Strength, Persuasiveness and Knowledge. On that grounds, she is the deserving winner.

To the coordinator and my fellow Judges, I say well done guys. It was nice working with you guys. And to my fellow nairalanders, I say thank you for being part of this show as the audience. Without you guys, this debate would not have been possible.

Thanks and God bless.

Regards,
Obinoscopy

Chief Judge

I will like to congratulate all the contestants for their participation in this first of a kind educational debate. From the 16 contestants in the first round to the four who made it to the grand finale. I say thank you all

@Audience, you would agree with me that we all learnt one or two things from them.

Expect my remarks shortly

[quote author=Mazi_Omenuko]The low quality isn't as a direct result of price: but as a result of general attitude of Nigerians towards free stuffs. It can be likened to one that hangs out friends and his friends pay for his beer. He tends to abuse the drink; not because the beer is of low quality; but because its coming free of charge. This is what I termed "crowd mentality."[/quote]

Aliciakeys: According to the result of the Laffer curve, it is pstulated is increasing tax rates beyond a certain point will be counter-productive for raising further tax revenue. A hypothetical Laffer curve for any given economy, hence increasing tax rate at this stage means, individuals have to worker harder and there is an extent one can work, causing breakdown. Breakdown leading to accumulated hospital bills and hence, a toll in the same economy.

Thanks guys for your apt response[quote author=♥Dεs•Chγκσ♥]@Obinoscopy.. We're going to be the first to implementing it. Our African brothers are in the blind. It won't be the first we're making such achievements. We were also the first country to offset their international debt owed to the France aid[/quote]Ok, thanks for your response.

Samtolly4Jesus, I'm yet to get your response to my question

@Deschyko: I love your use of the Canada scenario as an example to buttress your point on the feasibility of Free Tertiary Education. However can you give us more examples? Especially in the African context. Thanks.

@Samtolly4Jesus: I want you to explain why Free Education will better suite a corrupt ridden government like ours than Subsidized Education. Thanks.

@Aliciakeys: "Raising taxes in Nigeria during a time of economic meltdown would be damaging and counter-productive." Please can you elaborate more on this Aliciakeys? Thanks

@Mazi_Omenuko: Are you saying anything free is commensurate to low quality? Please expatiate, thanks.
