Forum Games / 2016 Nairaland Couples' Competition Planning Stage by luxanne(f): 8:32am On Aug 31, 2016
Good morning and welcome to the third edition of Nairaland Couples' Competition smiley

The event is finally here. Though it took longer than expected to get it started, it is here and this edition is going to be wayyyyyyy better, bigger and a blast.


BREAKING: Oh Yes, this year's winner will be going home with a prize, courtesy The NCC Crew- the powerful team behind the success of this event wink

But first, we must have a list of contestants willing to play all fair, and to get that done, you, Nairalanders have to nominate or better yet, personally indicate interest to play the game of couples by tagging 'Tashaamania' or 'Luxanne' in order to get the list updated.

About The Game

What you need to know about the game I say is quite simple.

➜ This competition will run in two stages - the first stage being the Question & Answer segment will go down on a Saturday from 6pm.
During this stage, we have numbered questions from whence each couple will take turns to pick numbers to questions they shall be required to give correct answers to, just like its done in quiz competitions, but on here, both partners are required to post answers on the thread to their chosen question and within their allotted timing, where they shall be required to do otherwise, they will be told so.
Please, do bear in mind that in cases where we have just one partner answering the question and getting it correctly, a half mark of the total score will be awarded.


ABOUT THE QUESTIONS:

These questions cover a little personal part about your chosen partner (not deep questions tho) and then more about Nairaland, current affairs and riddles solving.

TIMING:

This is a very important aspect in stage one. Contestants will be timed from when the question gets posted on the thread to post in their answers. Therefore, we appeal that you take note of your data subscription and network coverage and plan ahead for this stage because excuses will not be accepted.

The Second Stage:

Another day will host this stage. Here, you shall be required to submit projects consisting of:

Drawings - artistic ones, but this will be dependent on the fact that you can all draw, if not the case, then we would stick with graphic creations - a downloaded image from the internet that portrays your love for each other. However, if you think you've got the artistic skills to draw and win (like some of our previous contestants drew), then by all means do not hold back.

Poems: In not more than one hundred and fifty words or less, you will each mail us a Poem tagged whatever title you want it to be.

Descriptive Essays: You are each to also describe your partner's personality online or offline in just one hundred words or less.

www.nairaland.com/2006930/nairaland-couples-competition-planning-stage

CAVEAT

This competition is devoid of CAMPAIGNS as our aim is to keep this competition as objective as possible and so, we further appeal that,

1. You do not draw the face or send us an image of your partner.

2. Poems and essays should also be devoid of your partner's sobriquet and names.

as doing any of the above would make the audience (voters) sentimental with their votes, hence voting the couple they are much familiar with.

NCC 2014 and 2015 was a huge success and had her winners as:

Hey dear smiley

You know, I wanted chatting you up only not to find your contact on my whatsapp anymore. Send me a beep will you.

Plus, am looking for someone to read and gossip this americanah book with, read it? smiley

darkenedrebel:


Done, ma'am.

Right away


Seen nada.

Or you could download the audio version - it's more fun and it would expedite the process of reading the book.


Sounds awesome.

How long does it take you to read say for example a 400-page book? And let's assume you had ample time and minimal distraction.

2 days.

The book will have to be an interesting read, one I can't help but finish reading because am intrigued to know what happened next.

Alright.

I'd be expecting it.

Reply my email so that I can have the book forwarded.


So you read more of just topical books now

Yeah.

Crime fiction, mystery, thriller.

My kind. Kindly forward to me.

And I just started reading Americanah, still in Chapter 1 tho. I've made up my mind to read the book in transit, that's the best I can do for now smiley

darkenedrebel:


That's good. Here's pretty much boring nowadays.

See it this way—novels are just miniature representations of life, and reality is just a play-out of millions, if not billions of novels. So, if we are already living out billions of books daily, then how is it any different from reading 6 books at the same time?

And it's not cramming (Who the hell crams novels? Chai!! grin) . Maybe because I'm 100% a visual learner, which is why when I read something, even if it's just once, I understand quickly and never forget.

You just have to condition yourself to mentally multitask and to not get overwhelmed while doing so.


I'll give this a befitting reply when am a bit relaxed.


Kindly forward the soft copy to me. I would like to send it to a friend. Pleaseeeeeeee.

Do you read John Grisham?

OK.

I grew up reading Grisham books, his and Jeffrey Deaver's, those were my genre in the days of novel reading.

darkenedrebel:
Luxanne, do you read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series?. I'd be disappointed if your answer is not in the affirmative.
I'm reading Scandal in Bohemia at the moment, you should check it out!!

The real question is, "when was the last time you read a novel?" smiley

What genre?

Obinoscopy:
Sent hun. I'm still lagging behind, still in Chapter 5......work has been so demanding. So you see.......you can catch up with me wink

Mail received. Lol @ catch up with you, I'll try.

Happy weekend dear smiley
Literature / Re: Nairaland Book Club For Book Lovers by luxanne(f): 5:38pm On Aug 12, 2016
darkenedrebel:


Where have you been?

I'm not done with Americana yet, I'm only on page 10. I'm reading 6 books currently, and since I like to start from the complex ones before moving over to the simpler ones, then I'll probably get back to Americana in 10 days time.

But I've heard the review on radio since last month. I heard it from Chiamanda when she was featured in a book review show on radio.

The book is basically about a Nigerian girl, who also happens to be blogger that's struggling to find her feet in Yankee.

Just read the book yourself so I don't ruin it for you with Spoilers.

Been keeping up with my offline life smiley

Page 10 of chapter one yeah? You can still key in, the review done on here is per chapter, you digest a chapter and then log in to voice out what the author got right or missed out.

Oh, how does that work? Taking on 6 books at a time Just doesn't sit right with me maybe because I feel it's cram work, like in school where we had to take on, at a time, more than one book just to pass our exams rather than reading to understand, or not?

I should start the book-americanah, I've received soft copy from Obinoscopy.
Literature / Re: Nairaland Book Club For Book Lovers by luxanne(f): 7:24am On Aug 09, 2016
darkenedrebel:
Who's reading Chiamanda's new book 'Americana'?

People are here. So go ahead and post your reviews, people are interested.

But put to mind that am yet to read the book, someone who has started is Obinoscopy.

#Fortheloveofbooks

Good morning darkenedrebel smiley

Sent

And to me as well smiley

I'll try and read but not at the same pace as you. What chapter are you on?

Good morning dear.

I did read through all the contestants' answers to their questions and I've got to admit, VIZKIZ also got intelligent responses. If Fynestboi wasn't in the race, my vote would have been for you. I however, wish you and your team the very best. smiley




My vote stays with Fynestboi.

Thanks to all who has been voting for Team Fynestboi from the get go, Yes, we are still in the race, and its all thanks to you smiley

But before you cast your votes tomorrow for the finals, I need you to be convinced on why Fynestboi deserves to be crown Mr. Nairaland 2016.




Culled from Mr Tonyebarcanista, here are reasons to support Fynestboi

[size=14pt]"Who Is FynestBoi? [/size]

Apart from being a moderator, who is the celebrated guy called Fynestboi?

1. He deservedly won the 2013 Moderator of the Year
https://www.nairaland.com/1550591/fynestboi-nairaland-moderator-year-2013

2. Same 2013, he clinched the NMAT Award: The Most Active Moniker.
https://www.nairaland.com/1559503/nmat-award-most-active-moniker

3. Same 2013, he clinched the Award for the Most level headed Moderator, a symbol of humility, and deserving of a King.
https://www.nairaland.com/1559533/nmat...fynestboi-wins-most-level-headed-moderator

4. In 2014, Fynestboi and myself rolled out the Nairaland Most celebrated personality of the year, which was clinched by IdowuOgbo and had prospects.


5. Fynestboi has been very prominent in Nairaland Interschool Debate, which I have been privileged to sit as one of the judges alongside wonderful people.

Fellow Nairalanders, I enjoin you all to crown this wonderful lad the Mr Nairaland crown. No other person deserve it at this time.

My support for Fynestboi is deliberate and not for sentiment.
"



StandWithFynestboi
......



Come tomorrow, let us all stand together, united and support our own.

See you tomorrow at the finals!

Well, not "we" but "I" because the club is meant to be all encompassing. I am reviewing Americana with a few nlers on the thread. Others can decide to review another genre.....and so on until every genre is reviewed within the club.

You can even share what you've learned from those inspirational books. Hopefully you'll find others who have read the book and you can both discuss/critique/ review it together.
