Wow. *Grabs popcorn* This is awesome. A big thank you to the organisers of this debate. It's unfortunate that debates have lost the prestige it once had because of the huge intellectual stimulation it causes. Students are now being too lazy to read. I think the participants have done really well. Just few grammatical and typographical errors here and there. I also think more common words should be used afterall the whole purpose of a debate is communication. I think the co-ordinators should take note. Big words should be used more sparsely. It not only hinders effectively communication, it's a bit pretentious. Instead of big words, expressions and phrases create the aura of sophistication being aimed at. For me, the third contestant has brought the strongest argument. A huge factor other debaters didn't touch is the present stage of democratic evolution we are. Our polity is still primitive. Both sides should have taken that fact and hammered it home hard in a way that supported their arguments. That said, I expected much more from the ABU student. His expression is strong but I think he should have brought forward weightier arguments. People are already biassd about decamping. Don't merely tell us that the reason for decamping is corruption and selfish interest. Make us understand why we need to support political ideologies instead of politicians. Make us see why we need our polity to be like that of the Americans,where the party a candidate belongs to is representative of what he style of leadership he stands for. I believe the debaters can do better by anticipating their opponents and tackling them as they present their arguments. #IRepGreatIfe 3 Likes |

[b]Sobaloju Israel Dara a.k.a Microflux from O.A.U , nice write up but here are some corrections you need to take; 1. You made so much error in spellings e.g 'gauranteed', 'parmanent', amongst few others. 2. I observed that you were using several grammatical jargons where not necessary 3. You blew your point off track by citing the life of Abraham when talking of POLITICAL DECAMPING. How does it concern Abraham. Was Abraham a politician? Last time I checked, it was actually God who asked him to leave his father's house. But even at that, the name shouldn't have appear in your write up. 4. Wrong application of verbial terms e.g 'pressure applied on them by their political platform leaders'. Please how is pressure applied on a human being who is living and walking. Pressure is only APPLIED to non-living objects, and that kind of pressure can only be physical. Why not simply say, 'they are under pressure from the leadership of their respective political parties'. 5. 'Political decamping, sure, do have a negative effect on our democracy'. This line shouldn't have come from you at all. This is a debate for God's sake and you're expected to PROPOSE or OPPOSE. You were asked to speak in favour of political decamping and here you are revealing the negative side of it. Very wrong. Just a few observation. I'm coming for others, let me read first. GOODLUCK TO YOU ALL[/b] |

[b]Danjuma Joseph, nice attempt but here are some flaws you made; 1. 'that corruption has been imputed to many members' - Apart from the fact that you got the spelling of the word, 'inputted' wrong, how does it sound to your hearing that an abstract term is 'INPUTTED' into a living being? Same mistake your co-debater made by saying 'pressure was APPLIED on someone'. Do you guys cross-check your work at all? 2. 'this act has brought about instability in the government of a GIVEN COUNTRY'. Why use the word in cap when your audience are aware of the country you're talking about. And to say 'it has brought' ending it with 'a given country' shows that you still have small challenges with structuring Written English. 3. 'Individuals, who have FORECASTED ABOUT their defeat, decamp to another party'. You actually meant to write, 'Individuals who foresee their defeat decamp to another party'. Isn't it? 4. 'politicians who decamped from one party to another are highly TEMPTED to exhibit what I call nepotism and chauvinism'. What/who is tempting them? One thing you guys should understand is that debate is not about writing jargons but communicating in the right language to the primary consumers which is the audience. GOOD LUCK[/b] |

EzePromoe:hey! You missed it up there. Pressure can be applied on human being. Notwithstanding were you not taught personification in your early days in primary school? Watch your critics well you are on an international space. Dnt act like orubebe. About the Abraham issue, bro y dis again? That is just comparing and contrasting, if I wish I can use Your life experience as a case study in my write-up. Watch it! |

I think the moderator, "Finestboi", should have his posts well edited before he clicks on the "submit" button. Furthermore, it gets to me when posters point out the debaters' errors like incorrect punctuation, grammar, spelling and so on in one breath then proceed to make similar errors like get their tenses wrong or disregard the use of the plural of a word in the very next breath. This is supposed to be an intellectual discourse of sorts. Agreed, some posters would rather be class clowns but sometimes, their witty quips help to add some warmth and colour to the exercise. That said, in a forum like this, it should be clear when one is serious and when one isn't. It is my hope that this forum will blossom into something that addresses more societal issues on a more frequent schedule. I salute the organisers, participants and everyone who has spent resources to read through this forum, regardless of whether they comment or not. 1 Like |

kudos to the debaters for the job well done. Without iota of bias, I think the debater representing ABU did a good job but would have nailed it by including lack of character, principle and goal as reasons why politicians decamp. 1 Like |

Without sentiment or being biased I must give kudos to the two debaters, they have really done a good job. But I noticed that the ABU representative failed to point out some important point to really butress his point to see whether trully political decamping have a negative effect on our democracy. I rep great ife |

Re: OAU--ABU ZARIA: Nairaland Interschool Debate: WINNER: OAU by papindinho(m): 10:02am On May 17, 2015 |
Miracy dear, you did a nice job there but I would like you to note this little adjustment in the inital part of your writing. You wrote "In politics, it is believed that whoever aspires to hold a public office do so because he/she wants to improve the quality of life of his people." The modern trend in English language has directed more effort at desexing some words used in favour of the male gender. Now, a look at that would suppose you to have written that part thus: "In politics, it is believed that whoever aspires to hold a public office do so because THEY want to improve the quality of life of THEIR people." Nice one dear... Happy Sunday |

papindinho:Not at all my eloquent Colleague, let us not dissect the heart because the head feels feverish. Democracy(in igbo) is well defined to suit "Decamp", whatever part of the nation we hail from, the party doesn't matter as long as we have the interest of the nation at heart. If it pdp doesn't suit my agenda for country n self, and I feel APC has that platform for my furure analogy and achievement, it is only imperative for me to fullfil my goals by choice of decamping. |

Microflux:The more you stop taking this too personal the better you'd stand the chance to improve. My criticism was constructive in its entirety. Don't try to ridicule yourself while trying to argue with me, I've written articles on diverse subjects and from my years of experience, any reasonable recipient will discard this to the bin. Please don't see me as someone trying to rubbish your effort. Take a clue from your co-debater, Miracy. Hers was impressive, that was why I didn't make any correction. I will still give you a kudos for taking up the challenge though. |

Nice presentations guys. You guys did good. I certainly learned something today. Actually I had thought "Political Decamping" wasn't a debatable topic, but I now know better ![]() Microflux Nice piece, however there were several hitches here and there: 1. Inappropriate use of certain words: In your quest to show us your vocabulary proficiency, you ended up using some words that were inappropriate in certain sentences. An example is "...period they are imminent in office." The word imminent is inappropriate in that sentence. 2. Use of Bible to prove you point: There's nothing wrong in using bible instances or quoting bible verses. However it's advisable not to dwell on them or use them as your main argument premise. This is because Religion is based on faith and not fact. 3. Spellings and Grammatical Errors: There were many repeated spelling errors. Most notably was that of "permanent" 4. Examples/Illustrations: You didn't spice up your writing with much examples/instances. Nevertheless, I still say weldone. You did great. Danjuma827 Danjuma you had good command of English. Love the examples and instances you gave. However I frown at the use of the "hmmmm" word. This is a formal platform. Also I think your piece is too short. Microflux's was 971, yours could have been in that range too. All in all, you were superb. Miracy I tried several times, albeit unsuccessfully, to find the loopholes in your piece. Weldone Miracy, you've done OAU proud. However your piece is too short. You could have elaborated more on your points. |
