Dear Readers,
NIZ GOENKAR recently completed 1 year as a Forum for exchange of ideas and as a tool, to express concerns that affect Goa and Goans.
As we would like to move forward and promote NIZ GOENKAR to a wider audience, I now would like to kindly invite Readers to express ideas and suggestions as to how this could be acheived.
Your views & comments will help us establish the routemap and indicate what needs to be done.
Regards
Menino Fernandes (Editor)
Well done Menino we all are with you
ReplyDeleteMenino,
ReplyDeleteWell done. We will award you once we see a free Goa. A Goa no longer an Indian Colony. Ano not waith too long. We will suppeor now too from where ever we are.
Viva Menino
Sir, we are with you all the way from Goa here. You decide what is best to be done and let us know. I know that you are doing a tremendous work with your team. It is not that easy to do all that and to maintain all this by yourself alone. Let all the readers now come up with some good ideas as Niz Goenkar is the only site and forum where we can express ourselves freely. Unlike the HERALD the CHAMCHA of the politicians, Niz Goenkar has brought out issues and truth behind Goa and its History. We are very grateful to you for that.
ReplyDeleteWe must congratulate Minino for the fine work he is doing to make Goa a better place. Niz Goenkar is a site which allows anybody to express his/her opinion freely without any political obstructions or pressures. Readers, here is the democracy at work. So please feel free and come up with your suggestions/ideas as to what needs to be done. When such opportunity is given by the editor of this site we should make best use of it. Plese do not criticize later. Lets give direction to the movement.
ReplyDeleteDear Menino - Well done. V Goans did required a forum like this. moving forward unfortunately Nizgoenkar as well as the site is not so popular with Goans , reasons U might know better. V should do something about this
ReplyDeleteto bring all Goans together & be an Independent State. Where is Bebdo Why is he not writing any articles on this site ?
I need to correct you here.Niz Goenkar is popular and well liked.
ReplyDeleteSadly, in Goa, not a lot of people have access to the Internet.Many discussions,specially Political, still take place by word of mouth or biased Newspapers.
However I hope you enjoy reading the comments as it teaches us lot and allows debate. I personally have learnt such a lot from each and every commentator myself.
Regretably Bebdo does not write articles here anymore due to personal & family reasons.His last article here will advise you of his reasons.
He also hopes he can acheive some of his Political and writing ambitions through some other means and methods.
The Editor Menino, today, has asked readers for suggestions as to how they would like Niz Goenkar to move forward.I hope you will contribute some views and suggestions on this.
Dear Menino, I cannot imagine and tolerate how our beloved motherland is being under destruction day after day. And my only humble request is to strive and dig out Goa's case for Independece with United Nations as early as possible through NG and I assure you that each and every Goan no matter whether they are based in Goa or abroad will be behind you in every aspect to search for right channel to achieve our Goal. That's all every Goan's wish at present. I wish NG good luck and prosperity.
ReplyDeleteDear Vicente and the rest of the readers,
ReplyDeleteI can assure you that I am working hard on getting all the facts of Goa in place and searching for very loophole and tracks into legal Internaltional resolutions of the UN on Goa. Once I am sure and thorough with the knowledge I will move the UN International Court against the IOG and it occupation of our Country Goa. But this will take time and a lot of study has to be done on it and I spend every minute of my free time on it. All I need is your support and your suggestions how to expand Niz Goenkar. - Menino de Valpoi
Menino; You are doing a good Job with the site, I am sure there will be many ideas by the younger generation. We have to be a thorn not only in Goan Politicans but also in central Government
ReplyDeleteJuggling the site between home life and work in no easy task, You are doing it for the love of Goa. I hope others will understand and follow you and dedicate their time for Goa. Wish you luck and and let us move forwards together.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Menino, the time and knowledge are the two important factors to deal with anything. We are with you Menino and our support is always for you. I think the best possible way is to discuss in groups with our friends, and among Goans about NIZ GOENKAR , who do not have access to the internet. I have already given the site to my friends who were not aware of it.
ReplyDeleteDear N.Fernandes. of course Niz Goenkar is popular and well liked site. We had a history subject in school which educated us about the sacrifices done by the Indian freedom fighters towards the independence of India & nothing was spoken about Goa. Even Bastard Bandodcar was praised Regretably by our teachers who happened to be priests & nuns as our teachers for this subject.personally I have learnt such a lot from each and every commentator (would like to mention about Vesalao D,silva through Pedro. as far as Goa is concerned We should have his statue in place of bastard Bandodcar so also Dotor Jack Sequeira if not next to him , some where in Panjim) I do enjoy reading comments from this site but my real enjoyment would be to see an Independent Goa before I die. As long as i live niz goenkar will have my unconditional support & I request Bebdo to contribute more educational articles about Goa.
ReplyDelete@Buyarantlomonis, do you think we do not know who you are? Well let me tell you that if you can pool wool over our eyes forget it. Being a teammate and Assistant editor of Niz Goenkar let me tell you we have all the IP addresses of hte people we know play games and try to fool us. Do you think we do not know who you are?. Why dp upi need Bebdo? Bebdo's articles were self oriented. Bebdo wanted to praise himself and now Bebdo cannot live without the fame of Niz Goenkars. Kindly stop this double identity mud as we do know how to keep a track of things. Come to the point of the toping here- MOG ASSUNDI

ReplyDeleteDear Mr Rodrigues, If We Goans are united & fight for a cause we can acheive our goals. U should understand that We R not in for fame but for a cause. U need not tell me that U R an assistant editor or Niz Goenkar. nor I require fame of nizgoenkar & for your info i can't understand what games U R talking about as I understand only Football. ... Mog Assundi
ReplyDeleteMan U let Goa to India & Konkani to Marathi. as a team R U against bebdo ? & U better need to learn more on IP addresses.
ReplyDeleteLet us meet in person. I am with niz goenkar & the cause of Goa . ... Mog Assundi
Dear Mr Rodrigues. I request U one more thing on this forum & that too U claiming to be an assistant editor of Niz goenkar. U need to do further study on how to track a person on IP addresses it looks like U are threatening people, U should do this to Ali Baba & his forting theives instead. As i told u i am with nizgoenkar with my unconditional support & we can meet in person also...... This is is problem with us ... We Goans
ReplyDeleteDear Menino.
ReplyDeleteFrom me U have an unconditional support, I will also have along with me people who do not know niz goenkar. i am realy touched with your article /comments /thaughts above. hope V have an independent GOA.
@Buyarantlomonis of Bendo, as long as you will live in Buyarant, you will not see the world outside, comeon, see the achievements of GRA as a forum.
ReplyDeleteGreat job by you Menino and the rest of staff at Niz Goenkar.
ReplyDeleteBased on the current Political conditions, climate and flavours in Goa /India, Independence may be a very long way off.
ReplyDeleteHowever realistically and logically, SPECIAL STATUS", will be the next best option and launch pad,and from there possibly your dream of an Independent Goa.
There are still many Independence movements taking place around the World,including India.
This is my personal opinion,but you are allowed to differ.
D. Justin you have done the right thing. I hope others who are on this site will follow your example. I on my part has also done the same. This sort of chain re-action can help to change Goa.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you MENINO and please remain out of politics and remember this a free service for Goans as even prominent paper like Heraldo no longer can function independently w/o influence.
ReplyDeleteI wish Goans like you more WISDOM than knowledge to figure out the right from wrong and to take Goa on the right path from corruption and sleaze.
Always be on guard..You Blog is the only and the One place to develop integrity and foster unity among Goans and hope Goans will not indulge into mud slinging and make good constructive use of great opportunity.
One more suggestion if we can forward videos with self messages like Micheal moore and upload them on you tube you can link them under a category in your archive .
A virtual Azad Maiden. where Goans can upload suggestion,criticism and condemnation
This Usko Goenkar (or Fusko Goenkar) a.k.a. Buyarantlo Monis thinks he is oversmart. He has done it before under a different alcoholic name and got trashed. He still does not have any shame. Real shameless fellow. I knew one character from Jua when we were studying together. No difference between these three.
ReplyDeleteDear Menino, to make NG more popular and reachable to every Goan around the world, my suggestion is to advertise NG on more prominent web site like Facebook and google. Apparently, for that matter we need lot of finance and we can work out through NG itself. Because, there are lot many Goan's who are ready to sacrifice towards contribution. You can consider my idea as one of the option that I placed before you.
ReplyDeleteGuys why do we have to indulge in name calling the least we can do is not to fight among ourselves, coz only the third party (destroyers of GOA) will benefit.
ReplyDeleteHey wqho the hell is using my ID "UskoGoenkar" the comment above is not by me, Menino, this is the very reason why in my previous email to you and in my previous writtings i mentioned bout people stealing your ID names... seems someone wants to destroy my name here, whoever it is a Coward and just wants to create a riff here....
ReplyDeleteHey, this is me the realy UskoGoenkar, you can check my credintials with Mineno himself, i have not logged onto the internet in the last 48 hours, yet comments appear in my name? just want to prove to you the comment above is not by me,
ReplyDeleteMy Sincer suggestion for this blog, would be to have User ID's / Names that are somehow protected by Passwords, so no one else can use the same, and try to tarnish someones reputation... @Dlp sincerly my appologies, but the above person is not me, i do have an email registered with the same name at gmail if you still want proof... Mineno knows that....
Dear Menino,
ReplyDeleteWe know the hard work you are doing to keep this site updated day in and day out. Wish you all the best and we reiterate our support to you always.

Unfortunately there are some (hand full) Goans as time wasters, who take the cause of fighting for Goa as a Joke. It is the honest ones that get branded as fake. My plea to time wasters is look for another sort of entertainment to fulfill your twisted minds. .
ReplyDeleteWhile we Goans are fighting among our selves( which some are very Good at), Goa is slipping away from under our feet into Ghanti Land.
ReplyDeleteNiz Goenkar does have a wide readership. However, there are still many Goans who do not know about it. I have tried to promote wider readership either by word of mouth or through emails to friends and family.
ReplyDeleteI have also contributed with articles that were not accepted by local newspapers for publication, besides many that were published locally. I thank Menino for accepting them and posting on Niz Goenkar.
I have seen Niz Goenkars from Goa, Gulf and some from western countries Post articles on this NG site. Mainly because it is a fearless and uncensored site, unlike the daily press of Goa, who have their tails between their legs. Keep up the good work Menino and team.
ReplyDelete@DLP
ReplyDeleteIf you are a man or a women, you are a son or a daughter of a bitch. We can write over here the way we want and still better when we want and how we want. Please Bitch or asshole don't point fingers at nobody. Let the people of Mother Goa write, how they want and when they want to write thier precious comments.
@uskogoenkar
ReplyDeleteNice to have you back in 48 hr's, the best you register in DISQUS with your yahoo or any mail. This way nobody can rob your credentials. and good lick to you.
Thank you Menino for your precious time and energy, we can’t repay your generosity, what you are doing for Goa makes you a saint in many Goans life and mind. I shall remember you in my prayers so that the Lord may help you and give you more courage to fight for GOA’s rights and Independence.
ReplyDeleteNow some of my ideas how we can have NG to be known to all Goans in and around GOA.
a. We should have flyers distributed after mass as 90% of all Catholics are pro Portuguese and would like to be independent.
b. When a thearth (Play) is taking place in any villages, we should make a point of distributing NG views and flyers.
c. At all temples as 60% of all Hindus would like to see India out of Goa; here too we can try our luck with these 60% Hindus.
d. To print these flyers needs a lot of finance, you can prepare flyers, convert it into a PDF, and we can all print these flyers and distribute it to the location near to us. We can attach this flyer to every mail we send between us Goans worldwide.
My knowledge of Goan History was good as my ancestors narrated to me like a fairy tale, this fairy tale became a reality and better when I stumbled across NG: I’m sure what happened to me can also happen to other Goans, if they could also somehow could read the NG Article and the valuable comments from some viewers.
What I don’t understand is how the traitor Mario Soares signed Goa to the Indians? Where the Invader Indians did not accept Goa as the sovereign state of Portugal. If Goa and Portugal had nothing in common as per the Invaders, then the traitor Soares too had nothing to do with Goan affairs.
Mr Pedro Lopes. You do write good comments in favour of Mother Goa, it is our prime duty to fight for Mother Goa, and I did my duty by being active and shed blood during the opinion Poll. I have Joined Niz Goenkar as a core Member when it was in its infancy so did DLP and four others. As the lead person Menino seeks advise on whether to publish any offensive comment or e-mails he may receive, that goes for articles too. In this article "READERS' IDEAS AND OPINION REQUESTED by Niz Goenkar" you will see that as it was a request, neither DLP or any other NG core members have posted any comments.
ReplyDeleteUntil three comments of abuse and vulgar language to DLP were posted on the same article, being abusive and one of our member target for no reason Menino sent them to us and we declined to publish the comments.
As the comments were sent via unregistered e-mails, DLP had every right to let his steam out in the section, where the persons names appeared.
As per PLP's age you must be in your 90s to know DLP's mother is a B---H, or either you are DLP's father or his mother's brother to know his family status well.
Take no offence but Goans are shy of fighting for Goa, but not with each other, at this rate will we ever unite?
By the way DLP are the correct initials to his first name, middle name and surname.
God bless you in this period of LENT.

I thank you and your fellow colleagues for given us an opportunity to write on this platform, there are some who take disadvantage of the system. Don’t you think it’s wise only to allow registered e-mail users to put their comments? E.g. DISQUS should do the work.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you too in this Lent season. It’s a sin to do wrong, but it’s a bigger sin to keep quite when wrong is done; the biggest sin is when there are people protecting sinners.
If someone from somewhere in some bodies name was abusive to you or one of your members, then this should not be a problem.
ReplyDeleteOne can always locate the IP address, it tells you the location (the country) the MAC address tells you if it's the same computer, if someone is using someone's else's name then that should not be a problem to know if it's the same individual, the PC's MAC address will tell you if it handles a different individual.
As far as I know I can't hide my IP nor my MAC add. from you people. On the other hand if the abusive comments were not published, why did dlp go crazy to put hers or his comments?
For all the time,effort and the dedication you ( Menino) and your team at Niz Goenkar has invested in, may the returns be infinite. Atleast there is one site today that can not be sabotaged and thats " NIZ GOENKAR" A shame on our " OHERALDO NEWSPAPER" which bowed down to political pressure and shut down its comments section with a lame excuse stating that abusive language was being used in the comments .It was any abusive language that was used , rather it was the voice of the people that sent jitters through the political circle.
ReplyDeleteOnce again To Menino and his entire team and not forgetting each and every Individual ( My Goan ) who comments on this site..............A SINCERE Thank you.
Thanks Bro, for the support, I nearly left for good after the incident, but then I had a word with Menino on the subject and as long as he understands I’ll continue Blogging, as Goa is my main concern
ReplyDeleteThanks, taken your advise...
ReplyDeleteMenino, you are doing an excellent Job, keep up the good work and I want to assure you at all time you have the best of my Support always, we all had our own dreams and always thought wish this was possible and wish that was possible, fortunately we have a very powerful tool today called the “Internet” and you have made best use of it, am sure almost every house in Goa today is connected through the Internet, be it at home or at a Cyber Café, most importantly the “Goan Youth” is “Internet Literate” we need to target this very core of Goa and I am positive enough giving their youthfulness this would be possible, we need to have Newsletters, Articles Connected through Social Networking Sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc) that’s where the “Youth” is, am sure besides “Courting” on the Internet they would have something else interesting to do as well, but we just need to know how to Harness this “Goan Youth” for the cause that we want so badly…. Lets stop fighting with each other and use this same energy for a better cause…. Viva Goa, Viva Goenkar!
ReplyDeleteDear menino, Do not pay any heed to those who are out ot critise and fight among themselves as we can read in this comments. Let them do what they like and keep up your good work continue for the cause of Goa. You requested for idea's and opinion from readers. But comments started pouring in that are irrelevant to what was ask for.We hard core Goans are with you.
ReplyDeleteI can't understand why people are hiding their identity while posting their comments. If you do not have any fear be bold enough to login with your correct email id and proper name. If you realy love your motherland then why should we shy away from disclosing out identity?.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vicente, I had expected quite a lot of Ideas and suggestions from the readers, but none gave except you. Your idea will be kept in mind and I hope some more of the readers and commentators will come up with more suggestions and ideas, as I am going in for a Bigger Site and our own Server. - Menino de Valpoi
ReplyDeleteLet us keep the fight up for our mother Goa, let us make a mark in the history of Goa.
ReplyDeletePlease keep posting your articles, NG is a site to express you views freely.
ReplyDeleteJoaquim: The problem with some Local Goan Newspapers is that the have to satisfy their Political & Paymasters.
ReplyDeleteGoan Press does not have true Press Freedom .
@dlp
ReplyDeleteBuyarantlomonis and Usko Goenkar have been contributing a lot of comments on this site and so too their valuble time, I'd to write a few words and sentences which Diogo Fichardo didn't like.
Thats Great News, we really need to Target the "Youth" and educate them on what Goa was post 1961, i've already started educatng the "Youth" i know here, that includes my younger Family Members as well, well thats my Suggestion...
ReplyDeleteNeed help with the new expansion, do let me know....
Menino, we Niz Goenkars can't thank you enough for the yeomen service you are doing for GOA & GOANS , while the politicians we elect are out to destroy GOA, you are like a beacon of hope, we all pray to GOD to give you enough strength to carry on this noble mission and we all are with you.
ReplyDeletehere's my small suggestion for the site.
can we have this on facebook and other GOAN websites. but the most important thing is for the GOANS residing in GOA to have access to the information here and for that to happen i think we should advertise in Herald, navhind or even other konkani & marathi newspapers.
DEV borem korum once again.
Dear Ritesh,
ReplyDeleteWe have our NIZ GOENKAR facebook too. You can tell all your friend circle.
Best regards
Menino
Exactly!
ReplyDeleteMenino - Great work by you to safeguard our beloved Goa.But this is not enough...we need Niz Goenkar to establish as an Political party and fight elections to dump congress and BJP in the sea....and to educate Goans that democracy is not mean just to take 500 rupees,Saris,Water-Tanks,cricket & football kits and vote the same thiefs and hardcore criminals again and again.
