Well it's your contest that you're hosting (you call the shots) so that's cool but you shouldn't moderate how people merit that's just what I have to say (beside the meriting doesn't interfere with who'll finally be the winner).

There are situations when a participant might need merit to rank up and his submission fortunately gets to receive the merits (to rank up) but with restricting how many merits someone can send just does not make sense.

Igebotz is a local board source so his merits is kinda indefinite and he can keep at a particular meriting pace but the same can't be said for others.

People can also use the supposed "over meriting" to make a submission that they'll consider to be their opponents to get disqualified so there's pros and cons to everything. The focus should be to encourage more submission in the contest and not how people merit because there'll always be submission that appease to people than others.

Firstly merit isn't a criteria in this contest rather it's only part of the reward. Merit should not be moderated in your opinion which is agreeable but that doesn't give anyone here the edge to cycle merits what would you say I merited someone here 50 just because I like the dish ? Would it sound fair? My point is there should be no room for cheating in any way. I prefer Igebotz method where he gave merit accordingly that way no one can say he's partial or something.

I found some really interesting submissions but I didn't over merit them because I'm of the opinion that if they are that good then they should win a position too. That's how it should be.

Like I said earlier any submission I see as cycling of merits will not be considered let's be Rational.

I look forward to seeing your submission.
By the way it would make more sense if you posted this with your main account  

don't be scared if you aren't cheating

Initial intention was to go all 5 on every submission BUT the number of participants is way too high than I expected. Will continue when my source are back.

CryptopreneurBrainboss is right as I think everyone has his or her own way of rewarding or applauding somebody on their efforts in what they have done. Maybe the processes they had used were very elaborate and self-explanatory to see which might have picked his rewards to them for their efforts. I do not see anything wrong in what he has done. I think it is just a way of saying welldone for your efforts in this contest as it continues.

It will also be a great pleasure to participate in this contest.

Happy new year to the Naija community. I no too sabi cook, but i don already tell myself say i must participate in this contest, well done OP, you really try well well with this initiative, e don shine better light on our local forum.

Nice one! But I was actually expecting that you’d show us DIFFERENT PATTERNS of preparing this your dish…

Nigerian Jollof Rice is a popular dish and it is very delicious. Although I have never made this dish before, and I do not have much experience, this is the first time I have made this delicious food with my own hands by participating in this competition. Although I did not have much experience, I could not show much beauty, but this food was very delicious. I ate this food, it was very delicious to eat, and I participated in this competition and I gained a lot of experience by making the food.

Happy New Year 2025

The year that we have been waiting for has already started counting down with some days passed and the contest has come to stay, i want to use this opportunity to appreciate everyone that have taken part in this contest and also we are waiting patiently to winners that are going to win in this  contest, this is year of fruitfulness and happy new year to you.

Nigerian jollof rice is a very popular dish making and entertaining for guests. Jollof rice with chicken meat is also a very tasty dish for various social occasions. I try to give a natural touch to my food dishes so that harmful chemicals are not mixed with spices. In addition to cooking with my own hands, I also serve delicious jollof rice to celebrate the New Year.

Afterwards you will add your palm 🌴 oil and mix it gently for it to give that delicious take.
