Assalamu alaikum waramatullahi wabarakatuhu and Hi to the Tobas of this section,

We thank almighty Allah for making us witness another year-end. As many of us are aware, this is the time of the year we organize SECTIONAL POSTER OF THE YEAR AWARDS across all Nairaland sections. This officially started in 2009. In 2009, MUHSIN won the award(https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-368303.0.html) beating Lagosboy by 4 votes; in the next year - 2010, LAGOSBOY emerged winner beating Chakula by a single vote(https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-559875.32.html).

Who will emerge winner in 2011? You decide!

Rules:
1, Only 1 nomination per member
2, Any nominee that has been banned or warned twice this year will be disqualified
3, Moderator cannot be nominated in his/her section but may be nominated in other sections
4, Nominee must be active in the section
5, Nominee must be forum rule-abiding and not a trouble-maker(passionate defence of one's opinions is no trouble-making though)
6, Top 3 nominees will be up for poll for another 2 weeks, where the winner will be announced at the expiration of the voting
7, Where there is tie, the mod reserves the right to either choose one or extend the nomination/voting by 24 hours


NOMINATION ends on December 15, 2011
VOTING starts December 16, 2011 and ends December 30 where the winner will be announced

15/12/2011
BRIEF CITATION OF FINALISTS
1, DEOLS Deols joined Nairaland in 2008 but in no year has she been more active than 2011. She opened educative threads, brings interesting and refreshing, and most times mid-way, perspectives to issues. She knows her onions and defends the deen here and elsewhere. She is also level headed and hardly gets angry, even as it is almost impossible not to be, in this section. She also has a good sense of humour. No doubt, Deols was a very valuable member of this section in 2011.

2, LAGOSSHIA: Although he shares different views on few issues from other members of the section, he has no doubt compocted himself so well that even people that disagree with him on the issues nominated him. He has continued to educate us on his beliefs, while uniting with other Muslims in areas of similiarities, especially during attacks from our 'friends' from the main board. That Lagosshia is a quality addition here in 2011 is not in doubts.

3, SWEETNECTA: Sweetnecta got nominations last year but never made it to the final list. He dwelled more in the Religion section last year, engaging the anti-Islam posters, but he was active here too in the outgoing year in addition to his area of specialization of bursting lies and propaganda against Islam in the other end. Sweetnecta is no doubt highly knowledgeable about Islam and deploys his knowledge with wisdom. Clearly, he is one of the shining lights of this section

2010 was won by Muhsin, 2011 by Lagosboy, who takes the cake in 2011?

Deols

I nominate Sweetnecta

i also nominate sweetnectar

this section not the main religion board.

mukina2:

this section not the main religion board.

I nominate sweetnecta,he is always there defending falsehood concocted by non muslims against Islam and his presentation of Islam to the understanding of everyone.

I nominate[b] azharuddin[/b]

Jarus:

azharuddin and deols for trying to make the section habitable

Edzy:

I nominate sweetnecta,he is always there defending falsehood concocted by non muslims against Islam and his presentation of Islam to the understanding of everyone.

SMH

forget not that i was and still active on this board in 2011. he did no such it here. he comes in here to attack me on false premise and spam most thread. he was active in the main religion board and not here.


i nominate myself and aloy/emeka, cos we made this section active and alive

Nominate Deols for her efforts in bringing new and interesting threads

I nominate thaba, his threads have remains one of the most educative and sophisticated if I was allowed another nomination I would go for deols then sweetnecta.

Maybe we could consider worst posters of the year and even other categories, that would be quite ablast, i already have some in mind for worst poster of teh year, and most ignored threads etc just a thought!

Gosh, I am busy but let me do this!

I nominate deols.

Deols has had a phenomenal year on the Islam for Muslim section of Nairaland. She has made efforts to create interesting topics that vary in scope from Muslim celebrations, Islamic general knowledge and even relationship issues as it affects Muslim singles. A lot of her threads on this section have made front-page with wide ranging discussions between Muslims and non-Muslims.  I can say that if she did not create some of her threads, this section would have been very dull- not because there aren't topics to discuss but people simply do not want to engage the topic or poster most of the time and when they do; it is all about arguments.

Having given this positive review, a few shortcomings I have noticed are that; she sometimes glosses over other people's emotions in trying to make her points and may not fully understand another poster before responding to their post (Hey! No one is perfect, but improvements in these areas would be nice ).

I have little doubt that deols deserves this award and if she doesn't get it I would be majorly surprised. This is without prejudice to the other wonderful posters we have here. May Almighty Allah bless all of our efforts abundantly.

Mac, NOMINATE only.

Azharrudden for his mighty contribution!

olawalebab:

Mac, NOMINATE only.

I am only one man and just posted my opinion on the topic.

Deols

It's difficult nominating this year as this section has lost most of its flavour of old

Salam Alaykum Ma'am, so this topic broke your silence? Oya make-up your mind- leave the flavour and just 'eat to live' on this one .

Few self-respecting posters would participate in an "Islam for Muslims" section that has been overrun by anti-Islamic bigots.  Thank your moderators for that.

If you must, you could nominate Aloy, Frosbel, Toba, Mukina, Jarus.  Any of them would deserve the credit.

You know you have a valid point. However, I think you should re-consider your stance in regard to this section. Probably, if you feel you can do a better job of moderating this section you could take the job. It is not easy to manage people that want to give spam-bots a good run for their money.

I am not very eloquent at the moment but what I am saying is that you should engage the system and not condemn it in its entirety.

You're wasting your breath, brother.

I once brought up in another thread the disgraceful condition of the section and the waning participation of Muslim posters as a result.  One of your moderators then responded that the reason is because some Muslim posters make other Muslims feel bad abut themselves.  I mean, SERIOUSLY?!  That does not deserve a response, IMHO. G'day.

Salaam.

It seems you guys have taken some things personal in the past. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to help resolve issues that this section obviously has. Maybe someday when I am able I will contribute to help resolve a few of the issues.

Sad though.

Deols

If not for her insightful posts and interesting threads, I wudnt have been a frequent member here, I used to be a once-in-a-while reader before, I think she deserves it.

I nominate lagos Shia and sweet nectar they are always there defending is ISLAM

I nominate deols ,

safe to say she's already won it,

BrB!

Somehow i have not visited that section but Lagos Shi'a stands out. May Allah reward him with Jannat . Amin.

Jazakhalahu kairan

I nominate brother "LagosShia".

Lagosshia deserves it, but politics would not allow sunni brothers to give him,Allah is the only one that reward his people and not this our eye service,mago mago,pretentious game.As a matter of fact,i would suggest you people to stop this award thing,it does not worth it cos it brings much hatred to peoples heart than love/good.
