Drazen99: To start with,i have nothing against the state owned university,the private university or the springing up university.but the fact still remains that more respect is still granted the federal universities.Do u have any idea how hard it takes to get admitted to the first generation federal universities?not saying its easier to get into state owned university but the former is harder.most employer of labour still think knowledge is still mostly imparted in the federal university.Just my two cents.

Oluwatola5: Hello!!! This is just the elimination stage and not the final stage, how then can i go on bragging? You were a tough one and i acknowledged at the end of the debate if you checked properly, the more we go on in the debate the tougher it gets, so how then will i see this one as an absolute victory? Infact, you saying that i am bragging shows that you dont have even the slightest idea about me.

Oluwatola5: You didnt make us win, rather our resilient team spirit did, correct that notion, afterall some schools won with lesser points, but we had 70, if our team work hadnt been good, mayhaps we could have won with just 60 against 55, abeg 70 no be beans, it isnt even the fact that we won you guys that matters here, check our team work and even our debate in totality, also our rebuttals, we arent a weak side and you know it. If you had been on, you guys team might have done well as us, or even better, but still that doesnt change the fact that we deserve the 70 we got... Winning or losing isnt my main priority anyway, all i need is having good points to remain in the competition, afterall Delsu defeated UI with 78points to 73, so both teams are assured of their remaining in the challenge irrespective of who won or who lost. Its just a game!!!

thisisayus: Is that a university?

Damex333: I seriously need to apologise to everybody. Starting from pseudo, bro you know am xowie(though i av apologise to you personally, i will still do it here) am xowie 4 going off, to d organisers am xowie 4 going off, to d OAU GUYS, am xowie 4 not giving you guys d real me, to d audience, am xowie.
To those who nid explanation, here s it.
I was trying to puncture d first guy write up while walking on d road and i collided with a guy and my phone rolled into a pool of watery mud, wel i guess 5 or less than 5 skuls will be dropped so FUNAAB still surges on.
Pseudo the man with almost 40 out of 50. Baba you too much

cimetidine: Hmmmmmmm, could have prefered to lose in order for Chelsea to win. Anyways, Funnab, what's the scores?

Davo93: Noted. Security men you say? Lol

Do you know the issue of security in some part of the nation is so worst that only a military reign can curb? If it takes this to protect Corp members, then that amounts to a huge cost in running the programme and mind you, that does not necessarily translate to total peace.

If you are suggesting redeployment, i think that affirms your opponents' proposition.

cimetidine: In view of all the above arguments, I'm so sure that FUNAAB and everyone is convinced that posting of NYSC members should be limited to their zones. Especially Damex333 who failed to argue nor deny our assertions. Thanks

Davo93: Good Afternoon Ladies & Gentlemen,

I must commend the write-ups of the four debaters. They are wonderful especially that of Oluwatola5, quite persuassive!

My question goes to the first speaker of FUNAAB, Pseudonomer. You clearly told us that the killings of Corp members by the banned Islamic sect. in the North is part of sacrifice to the nation's unity.



Don't you think the lapses in the programme that could be corrected is the reason for those killings and not sacrifice as you paint it to be? and going by what Oluwatola suggested, don't you think a review of the programme will bring solace to this?

Also you referenced Madiba in your arguement. Don't you think it is better to die fighting for something that brings unity than being sent on a suicide mission to an unknown land? Remember, those Corp members didn't choose to go there themselves.

Thanks!

Omolola1: Indigenes serving in their home state will be better teachers than strangers that can't even communicate with the student naturally. So do we sacrifice the loss of life for the sole reason of learning new cultures? Mandela and others you mentioned fought for a general cause and was not built on sentiments. And you feel the bokoharam whose slogan is being against western education will spare any life of a corp member aiming 2 bring their desire down? This reasons as far as I'm concered is irrelevant.

Oluwatola5: And i hope you are aware that the civil war ended a long time ago..

Oluwatola5: Dont you think all these benefits are feasible ONLY if those communities are willing and ready to accept the NYSC members to impact in their lives. There is an adage that says ''you can force horse to a stream, but you can't force it to drink water''. Do you think those geo-political zones can be cowed to learn? Of course not! Learning and being accepted are two ball games entirely that shouldnt be mixed up for one another.

cimetidine: @pseudonomer, Mandela just died sir and others you pointed out did not die the death of martyrs. They were jailed rather, there is a fine linen between Jails and death. After Mandela was jailed, he became South African's president. Can our slaughtered youths mount any challenge?

cimetidine: You mean the Boko boys that clearly detest Western Education needs Education? Or don't you know their main reason for their violence is what you just mentioned? And can you give me an instance where a corp member walked up to a boko haram member(as if we can identify them) to educate him and what is the result sir? Will adequate security ease the fear and tension already created in people? Will adequate security ease the transport fares when corp members are paid meagre sums? Brother, admit the fact that corp members should be posted to their home zones, and I will appreciate and respect you.

Oluwatola5: Are you insinuating that sacrifices of lives would be required for a better Nigeria? Lets be realists and not idealists, what offence could be greater than wasting of lives? The fact that something is good doesnt make it good at every point in time. Things especially those involving a large number of people should be done in accordance with how best they suit the people it encompasses. In a situation whereby some zones have been noted for continious disdain against people from other zones, i think simple logics to prevent further havoc from being done should be an immediate one. NYSC posting scheme should be readjusted to their geo-political zones before other issues and ''benefits'' are even mentioned. Nigeria should look first into the issue of poor security that is seriously threatening the very fabric of our country. Methinks it is facetious and inappropriate in a time like this for us to say that the scheme shouldnt be readjusted simply because of its ''benefits''. Before we even mention any ''benefit'' whatsoever, we should look at the risk of lives that is at hand and face it first, not puttting the cart before the wheel. Nigeria's government and the NYSC management should first ensure that all parameters have been put in place to check the excesses of some geo-political zones BUT pending the time, no more life should be wasted, the posting should be limited to their political zones.

cimetidine: @pseudonomer, you clearly pointed out that we should sacrifice because of unity to reign, don't you feel the lives of precious souls and future giants being butchered in the north is too much a sacrifice? Don't you feel for the parents of such corp members? Don't you think there are alternatives to posting corp members to dreary areas. If you insist, i however suggest that anybody bent on learning the culture of other tribes can decide to school in such places i.e an Osun indigene can school at UNIMAID for his or her undergraduate or postgraduate, another alternative is to employ the service of search engines like google to get the idea of such cultures. What do you think sir?

If we choose to neglect those areas, and will allow them to continue in their folly ways, do you think very soon, we are going to regret that decision? In one of Asa's song title "Fire on the mountain" there's a line that says" ....One day, the river will over flow, and we'll run, run, wishing we had quenched the fire" I believe beheading someone that has headache is not the solution to the pain, in the real sense, it worsen it. Those poor souls(the "Boko-Harams" needs education, and the corp members posted there are doing a great job to increase the level of literacy there. What I will suggest is adequate security.
