Delafruita: it will be more of a competition if a limit is set.also there should be a different category for poems and a different one for a short story You must not write both, Anyway I hope the next installment of the contest will be bigger and better...More themes and categories will be introduced |

Delafruita: the more reason why the entries should be posted on the thread.besides,it gives the opportunity for others to read through every entry.any attempts at plagiarism will be detected by the watchful eyes of nairalanders and most importantly,the entries will remain on the thread even after the close of the competition and anyone can visit the thread to relive the memories even months and years from now. the entries will be posted for user poll and general viewership.. |

Ile-Ife: The army should run over the affected towns like they did in every other state/region that has had this kind of problem before. Biafra, Odi et al. The "innocent" civilians should be made to bear the consequence of harbouring these killers in their midst. Level the town and their generations to come will learn. High handedness has worked before when the northerners were dishing it out. It will definitely work again. Level the yoruba people too? Ok come and do it.. |

lorddannie: innocent people that harbour and house miscreants, terrorist, islamist jihadists and suiciders, abi? they all religious accomplices, contributing their quota in the jihad and should be treated as such. mind you, the force men killed have families and relatives too Dude they are fellow christains and muslims living together in many of these affected areas..so wat u do? |

I think you should also define the acceptable length of a story or poem i.e. minimum and maximum number of words. The reason being that one submission may be long while another one may be short...yet both submissions may be unique and beautiful. Without a range or number of words, it may end up being like comparing apples with oranges.
For example, I would recommend that each short story be approximately 500 words plus/minus 10%.
All the same, this should be fun. No necessary limits are up to allow freestyling but the main thing is quality in words..afterall we wont get a 10,000 words entry no? |

bashdecash: Aryzgreat...dont u have manners in addressing people. Must u rain abuses at people just because dey dont share thesame ideology with you?
You are not a northerner, u dont stay in the north, how dare u know what is happening here. We in the north tell u dat innocent people are being killed by d JTF and u are some where unknown abusing our religious and political leaders with no consideration. Why is it that some people allow their short sightedness to lead their gifted brains and hearts?
What do u know about what the Nigerian military can do? Ask people in Odi and zaki biam, ask people in maiduguri, ask people in seirra leone and liberia.
I was a banker in maiduguri before i transferred out, JTF killed a friend in his corporate dressing and burnt his car wth his corpse in it. Another colleague in corporate dress on a monday morning was dehumanised by d JTF on his way to d office, beaten, man handled and threatened to be killed just like that. So mr. Man, just keep quiet on issues u dont know ok.
70% of d pple being killed by d JTF are innocent people, some in the presence of their families at their homes just like a GTB staff that they killed in the presence of his wife and kids before he could even identify himself while his wife kept teliing them that "he is a banker". Thanks for speaking the truth.. |

Those so-called innocents ones are aiding those terrorists and therefore equally guilty. Bleep boko haram, bunch of illiterate smelly persons with cow brains and what happens to christains there? |

Shut dat gutter u call mouth! JTF should open fire on any boko haram looking bastard! i don't give a damn, the soldiers dat are been killed daily are people father and husbands. Fuccck north mehn! am not just happy with these carnibals!
