Fynestboi:
Reason?

Academic commitments Sir. I have a test by 10pm and a presentation which is part of my assessment by 4-6pm. It will make it too tight Sir. Hope you understand Sir?

You're not well equipped? When the Super Eagles are well equipped being the second most paid behind Russia what was the outing in South Africa? Crazy coach. Pls we need foreign coach. All these test running is enough.

I must commend his brilliance having been in his shoe then as well, though I couldn't make any meaningful impact. The competition is a very tough one. Questions which even my teacher can't answer.

Annunaki:
Name one single learned Pastor that he debated that converted to islam And I don't want to hear the name of the C&S pastor he put on his website cause C&S are not proper christians in the first instance. That said yusuf olatunde always avoids a one on one debate, what he does is question and answer sessions after his al taquiya sessions and being the host and moderator, he has a way of manipulating the session to avoid answering embarrassing questions. He also resorts to a lot of daft lies to obfuscate issues.

If you can engage in a spiritual journey of discourse with him, you won't have any choice than accepting Islam because Christianity is made of nothing. Get it right
NO ISLAM NO PARADISE.

At Fynestboi Sir,

Can you do us a favor by staging our duel to 8pm? Unilorin vs Unilag.
Thanks

Do you want to become a super statistics student?

Do you want to become a super STATISTICS student?

Here’s how!
It is quite unfortunate that most students ( Statistics and non-statistics) do
fall into the trap of believing that Statistics is all about calculations and
formulas.

Here are 5 tips that will go a long way in boosting your grades in
STATISTICS courses. Enjoy it!


1. Don’t feel the need to cram as much as possible on a page of notes.
Leave plenty of rooms so that you can write your own comments when you
use your notes to study.


2. Study your lecturers. Some lecturers, unfortunately, want you to cram
those lengthy formulas word for word, but some don’t. A lecturer like me
will only be interested in the core application of the taught concept. period!
The rule is to give to caesar what to belongs to caesar.


3. Never assume to have understood the process of solving a proof or
memorizing a formulae. I am as well guilty of this. My experience has shown
that mathematical proofs and formula applications require writing them
down over and over again in personal notes to guarantee a 100% or at least
90% chance of putting them down correctly in the exam.

4. Statistics is by far the simplest course. I am not saying this because I
find it easy. It is simple because I have had to take it that way from day
one whether or not I indeed found it easy.

5. This last tip might seem appropriate only for the weak students, but I for
sure know it worked well for me in some courses and I still end up having a
70% score. The tip is: Do not feel the need to know every concept
introduced by the lecturer, especially those that require a great deal of
cramming ability. It is better to master the few concepts that you have put
so much energy to understand than to want to know everything and end up
not getting anything. Believe me sincerely, it works like magic and it has
worked for me 10 out of 15 times.
I am yours sincerely, Lateef Amusa. Hoping to receive your views and
comments.

pls express yourself like a learned fellow.

Fynestboi:
You will see it on Frontpage today.....

OK. Sir. And thanks for your relentless efforts towards achieving successful completion of this edition. Most of the kudos to the judges especially luxanne

fynestboi, why is team 6 controversial debate not appearing on FP since yesterday.?

luxanne:
TBH, I appreciate essays written from a personal point of view just like yours and others - not being lifted and if I were to be in a debate, that is how I'l write because the end result is, it improves your writing prowess just like you opined and that, noone can take away from you.

Please don't be deterred OK? I would really love to see you all in the next round

Alright Ma. Thanks for taking serious action upon our claim as this will go along way in massaging the wound I am nursing and the same time restore your integrity. To all, who by one way or the other supported us in cleansing this competition by giving the day to the deserved team, thanks. To my fellow undergraduate, learned friend, dongraspo, the self proclaimed best debater, I hold no grudge against you. I just wanted nothing but undiluted probity which my Better by far institution teaches, and thanks to our rational judges. So please, rest in peace boss, I mean sleep well, we shall surely meet again. And I am sorry for any offensive comments. Can we be friends now after this unending e-battle?

luxanne:
Plagiarism without giving a reference to where the information is gotten? Yes it is a fraud.

Can you please tell me you didnt also lift information from the internet to buttress your point?

If you insist nothing is wrong with that essay except for the word count, that means you are saying this competition is testing our lifting prowess not our writing prowess. Thank you

luxanne:
Plagiarism without giving a reference to where the information is gotten? Yes it is a fraud.

Can you please tell me you didnt also lift information from the internet to buttress your point?

Dear respected judge, that is not enough measures to justify the mindless lifter. If someone lifts and makes sure what he or lifts is not more than his or her handiwork, that one is mindful lifting. But here 80% of the guy's essay is lifted and only 20% is his handiwork I think, that is mindless lifting. I don't know why you don't see anything wrong with the guy' questionable attitude. Pls. Sir/Ma, refer back to his post and the website to see it yourself.
Thank you.

Dongraspo:
Sir,Just lifting a mere 11 examples is 90% of my work,its funny tho the way some people think...please,attack my points and not my person because like i said nobody here knows me_you know,i feel your pain,its normal i have been there before-people attack the best players even Jesus,not everyone loves him...Thank you for your personal opinion,i appreciate and hope we meet again

I cannot but laugh. Seriously, you have good sense of humour. You are shouting do we know you. Who cares? Everyone has his personality fa. Don't scare us with yours. You feel my pain? No. People attack best players? And who's the best player in this case? You lol. indeed. I hope we meet again too. Just do one favor for yourself, admit your mistake and that solves it.


No retreat No surrender

Dongraspo:
Audi alteram patem,I hope i will be given a fair trial,my own side of the story will be heard before i receive judgement because of petitions written out of bitterness of defeat...i cant be crucified based on a mere 11 examples,besides ARE EXAMPLES FROM PEOPLES BRAIN or THEY ARE PAST HAPPENINGS which no matter how it is written,is still the same...I also tender a passionate apology for the word count,it happened because i was deeply engrossed in the debate,it was a topic that embodies passion...Thank you sir

Bitterness of defeat? Who defeated whom? U said, mere 11 examples. lol. OK out of 12 in the website u copied and pasted word for word yet you are claiming u were engrossed by the topic as the reason for your 2398 words. just confess, u wanted to make sure you input everything you saw in the site as you saw it. I always like being above board.

Geestarry:
Normally, I would have reserved my comments but I wish to express myself on this platform. No participant/contestant is permitted to play judge/moderator. Participants are first expected to respect the authority of the day, and as such, any reservations should be presented orderly and not coaxed into being effected.
The art of threatening too pull out from the debate is already grounds for disqualification. Participants are expected to be able to respect and comport themselves if their concerns would be considered. No matter how right a claim is, if it is not duly represented, it could be disregarded on grounds of contempt. And if the moderator and judges review the scores without reprimanding the plaintiffs for their manner [in public especially], then participants for subsequent editions could/would be expected to throw stones at each other or even fight like the members of the Nigerian House of Representatives.
Besides, someone said "UniUyo" played on the judges intelligence, that's an undue accusation/summation. One person did, not every member of the Uniuyo team, and if anyone has to lay complaints, he/she should do so in a very polite manner.

There is life beyond this competition. In as much as we are here to build our intellectual prowess, we also have to build character. The real aim of this competition will be defeated if we remain at loggerheads. Thank you very much. Shalom

By the way, The judge's decision is final.

Boss. We heard you. Backing your partner dongraspo for his mindless lifting. Even I am thinking you too should be penalized for aid and abet. Your partner, misbehaves, instead of calling him to order and make him realize his err, u are digressing as if it was a trivial issue. I am standing for probity which my alma Mata is known for till truth prevails. I rep UNILORIN, probitas doctrina.

Dongraspo:
My name is AKANINYENE PAUL ARCHIBONG,I want to respond to various petitions against my writeup.
I am accused of mindless lifting,i dont understand, when you say mindless lifting you mean that everything i wrote was not from my brain which of course is a very faulty accusation because you certainly dont know me or my credentials to judge me in that manner,please someone should take a cursory look at my debate,the only lifting is the 11 examples of corruption in the last four years,This is something that happened and i was aware,all i needed was the details,so i go in search of them.
The reason why the organisers asked us for references was because they expected us to go into deep research and reference whatever we discover and wrote down and that is what i did.This is a matter of research, i did my homework,compiled my debate,strain my brain,miss important engagements,miss my meals,miss even church service to put this together and someone who is bitter because he lost is claiming am a cheat,have you ever gone on a debate before? Dont you know that in any debate,you are required to research deeply and deliver,dont you know that even the judges knows that everything you will say is not yours,that few out of the many is copyright, you just put it to prove your point....What is the point of REFERENCES if we where to get everything from our head.TELL EVERYBODY HERE,Was everything,i mean 100% of what you wrote from your head,if YES,then youre lying because you referenced the writeup,meaning that you copied someone,somewhere...my brother,nobody is an island of knowledge...to end this,i pray you take defeat in good faith as a good Nigerian. God bless Teamuniuyo! God bless Nairaland!! God bless Uniuyo!!! God bless Nigeria!!!!





Akaninyene Archibong

Oga, with due respect, point of corrections, you were not accused of mindless lifting, rather you mindlessly lifted about 90% of your essay. actually I don't know what you are you mean by saying, u just researched the 11 points. You lifted an essay and claiming your brain was the one at work. If what you lifted were to be deducted from your own part, what do you think you have left? The size of your brain? I don't know what prompted you to be claiming you are a deserved winner and thinking you can escape the minor plagiarism you did. In fact, sorry to say, you are part of corruption crippling our country

TonyeBarcanista:
If I'm a judge and I see that, I will penalise the team heavily

Thank you Sir for the insight. We are looking forward to hearing the favorable judges verdict.

Comments please...

And even his word count is 2398 which has exceeded the required maximum of 1200. I am raising all these not because I am too captious or meticulous but just to make sure that, it is the best team that wins it deservedly.

obiZEAL:
Fynestboi, u should take this seriously...I can't believe that that guy was not disqualified after the copy and paste...I'm really doubting the dedication of the judges...
Kudos to u and the other coordinators!

Thanks jare boss for reasoning along with me. If this is not corrected, believe me many will feel disappointed and disregard this competition in subsequent times. I just hope something will be done very fast

Fynestboi:
Be clear..... any lifting must be reference.

Yes Sir, maybe I should clear it. If a debater mindlessly lifts a post, like the Uniuyo guy did, https://www.naij.com/402850-top-12-corruption-cases.html, almost everything he said was in the site. if that is allowed. Then you are not testing our writing prowess rather our lifting prowess. There was a poor officiating in the just concluded team6 debate. It will be our utmost pleasure if you can correct it.

Fynestboi:
[size=18pt]GRAND TOTAL...


Unilorin: 104

However there is still hope for both UNILORIN and UNIJOS. That hope will be made known on the 29th...







Judges comments?

I can't hold my temper anymore. At moderator fynestboi, I think there's inequality in your judgement. first, there are 3 judges, how will your only judgement overpower the other two?
Secondly, I asked you on the chatting room if mindless lifting is allowed but you didn't answer. The best debater to you Sir, the guy from Uniuyo did mindless lifting and yet you said he is the best. I write this just for you to be mindful of the integrity of this competition. You may be thinking, it's just a trivial pursuit but to us, it means a lot. I had restless days and sleepless nights just because of this competition. Your last judgement singlehandedly ruined the integrity of this e-debate. I just want you to look at the Uniuyo guy debate and a naij.com post https://www.naij.com/402850-top-12-corruption-cases.html
you will understand me better what I mean by mindless lifting

At the coordinators, is mindless lifting allowed in the ongoing NISD? pls reply

Neyoor:
That's my awesome team mates.

Go go go ................ Team Unilorin. I'm at your back.

Thanks boss.

Why no rebuttals for this levey

CORRUPTION IS A SOCIETAL EVIL CRIPPLING OUR COUNTRY, NIGERIA, WHO TAKES THE MOST BLAME? OUR LEADERS OR THE FOLLOWERS.

I start with a quote of Chief Obafemi Awolowo who says “Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. There are no ‘Nigerians’ in the same sense as there are ‘English’, ‘Welsh’ or ‘French.’ The word ‘Nigerian’ is merely a distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not.”


Distinguished Chairman, distinguished panel of judges, indefatigable moderators, my co-debaters and my conscious readers. All protocols are duly, absolutely observed. My name is Abdulkareem Abdulmumeen, a sophomore student in the department of Anatomy, University of Ilorin, representing my alma mater in this third edition of Nairaland Inter Institution Debate on the aforementioned topic where I am blaming the followers as instructed. As if you don't know, Corruption is defined as dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery. A leader is a person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country: ‘the leader of a protest group’; and a follower is one that follows, especially one who accepts the guidance, command, or leadership of another.


Firstly, followers "help" in immortalizing the corrupt politicians and leaders. This is a very rampant attitude of followers which is unanimously unethical. When leaders misappropriate public funds, instead of finding means to bring them to book, followers will be eulogizing them. They make these looters feel respected and honored as if nothing is wrong with their looting. For how long will I continue to pretend that even our present senate President among others, is also a victim of being a pampered looter. His looting was visible even to the blind and audible to the deaf among Kwarans, yet some adulterated and unscrupulous Nigerians were campaigning against his trial at the tribunal after being accused of a 13-count charge of corruption by the Code of Conduct Bureau. That is what am saying. Followers cover these looters with the umbrella of "Our own" even when the hostility of justice bring them rain. Instead of making them feel remorseful of their ungodly act, followers unfortunately give them unmeritorious awards and some royal families even endow these "certified armedless robbers" chieftancy titles for their unquestionable public fund misuse because of their own personal benefits. Neither do we shun them nor do we bring to their notice that it's our collective wealth and not their family wills. This has led to innocent young uprising and promising future leaders hoping to tread the path of accumulation of wealth via corrupt means. Thus, a vicious cycle is set in; recycling of corrupt leaders being normalized in every society at the detriment of the development of the state.


Secondly, followers are the ones establishing examination miracle centres where treacherous and indolent candidates can sit down idly in the exam halls or sit down comfortably in their homes and have A's sloping down in their O Level certificates. As corruption tries to obstruct the vision of Nigeria’s spectacles, there is a need for sensitization against the miniscule acts of corruption in our sphere of influence. Corruption finds its way into the corridors of power because it was not nipped in the bud. Nipping it in the bud starts from the fight against examination malpractices which is an abuse of the intelligence of a students and their integrity; students supposed to be shown only one way towards their academic pursuits which is hardworking and not otherwise. It gets pathetic when you see parents sponsor their children as they enroll fully in the school of examination malpractice. Examination malpractice is a pure example of injustice to hardworking students who do not take part in the ignominious act. Little wonder, we as a nation have an emblem of corruption for ourselves because in the long run, these students with questionable integrity will become our leaders and escalate corruption. and we, followers, blaming them forgetting they are actually products of our examination immorality.


Mr Chairman, followers involvement in corruption of our country could also be traced to evasion and avoidance of individual responsibilities. John F. Kennedy once said, "My fellow Americans, ask, not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" Who says our leaders are saints? Who says Nigeria leaders are not corrupt? Nigerians keep shouting and complaining; our leaders are bad, our roads are not in good condition, our health centres are death centers and on and on like that. But in the real world are these always incompetence of leadership? Of course No! European Journal of Business and Social Sciences reports " Participation by both men and women is a key cornerstone of good governance..." Why are Nigerians clamouring for the change they refuse to be instrumental to its realization? Nigerians always forget to remember their own deficiencies. Nigerians never envisage on how their own contributions will make difference. How they can alleviate poverty by nongovernmental organizations. Only to blame the leaders. Even if the linen worn by our leaders are thick with the grime of corruption, shall we not take it to the laundry of true justice? The laundry of justice where all acts of injustice will be convicted and brought under the meticulous microscope of the Law.


Another way corruption is crippling our country and will, if care is not taken, continue to, is the indiscriminate cursing of leaders by the followers. Nigerians send their leaders more missiles and grenades of curses than prayers. If one takes a survey of Nigerians that pray for their leaders today, hardly will one get 10%. Sometimes at home, whenever Radio Nigeria is tuned in and I hear "Radio Nigeria... Uplifting the people and uniting the Nation" I'll just leave that place because I know cursing our leaders will be imminent. The most annoying part of this is, most of these people cursing are neither civil servants nor salary earners. So in this type of situation, the blame of looting of our leaders will rest on us, the followers because cursing brings no good but harm which followers are directly wishing their leaders and indirectly wishing themselves.


Conclusively, Mr Chairman, indefatigable judges and my patient readers, the panacea for the aforementioned blames of followers is for them to accept and correct those nonchalance attitudes like stopping the production of bad leaders at miracle centres of examination; knowing and taking their responsibilities for a better Nigeria and not just expect heavens and earths from our leaders as if they are gods among mortals; frowning eyes to corrupt leaders and not just the continuity of pampering and desist from cursing them instead beseech divine guidance for their successful administrations. Not until then Nigeria will be a corruption-free country and a habitable atmosphere for all and sundry. I am sure you must have, having read this from the genesis, concur with me by now that, as I used to say " Our P are our P and not our P" meaning, Our Problems are our People and not our President.

Thank you.
