1st Anniversary of NIZ GOENKAR
MESSAGE FROM NIZ GOENKAR TO THE GOANS
NIZ GOENKAR completes one year of its birth. 15-03-2010 was the day the site
was launched with just one article. This site is totally dedicated for our
MOTHERLAND GOA. It has a wonderful team who love Goa their Mother with all
their heart. A Team that is dedicated to uproot evil and corruption from the
soil of its Motherland. A Team that exposes the misdeeds of all those in the
Government and its sector. A huge contribution comes from its commentators who
bring out the truth in the form of comments and the truth that cannot be
digested by the present corrupt politicians of Goa and those who practice the
"Work for extra Salary" in the government offices or the public sector.
I would like those who read Niz Goenkar to spread its message far and wide and
cause a great awakening among the Goans who are still asleep with their
tradition of Vote for money. Panjim is a 100% literate city fell on its face
for a few thousand rupees and showed that Goans can never be intellectual and
kick out the corrupt and evil from the power and get good and honest people
elected.
I hope at least the new generation that springs up henceforth spare themselves
from indulging with these corrupts and gets Goa back to its original and old
heritage and elects for themselves leaders who will be honest and law abiding.
I would like to thank once again all the readers, writers, commentators and the
well wishers from the bottom of my heart for contributing to Niz Goenkar,
sparing your precious time and patronizing Niz Goenkar. Rest is told by N.
Fernandes in the article on the main page

THE NIZ GOENKAR STORY-1ST ANNIVERSARY by N. Fernandes for Niz Goenkar Team
The 15th of March 2010, will go down in the evolving history of Goa as the
birth date, of the Niz Goenkar blogsite / forum.
The Niz Goenkar story began when a true and highly dedicated and motivated
person and A resident of Valpoi, Goa, called Mr. Menino Fernandes decided he
wanted to make a major contribution, for the advancement of his motherland
called Goa. His heart cried and still cries seeing the ills and destruction of
his Motherland, Goa.
Sitting in his study room, he kept on dreaming and analysing, which were his
best options to help. Many ideas passed through his mind.
Alas, he saw a strange “LIGHT”, and he became possessed with a strong
determination, and, decided that as a Computer expert and whizkid, he could use
his multi talents to start a Blogsite.
Using his own personal funds, precious time and energy, he then set about
creating the site we have all come to know and love as NIZ Goenkar. He did not
have to struggle with the name, as he surely believed; he was a great Patriot
and had very strong beliefs in being a Niz Goenkar. This was his basic
inheritance and a wonderful gift from God; to be born in a Paradise we call
Goa.
Today Niz Goenkar is a major medium where Goans all over the world, can come
together, to make a contribution with their comments, views, debates, thoughts
and ideas on major issues, past, present and future that will make Goa Great
again, and, a beautiful and peaceful Paradise that sadly is being gradually
decimated by unscrupulous, greedy, uneducated, tainted and criminally
intentioned Politicians, their immediate families and their “good for nothing”
cronies and scavengers.
Since its inception, Niz Goenkar has dealt with major issues affecting Goa.
It has revealed the corruption at every level of Goan Politics, Goan
Politicians’ Goa’s Administrative services, Goa Police, and Society in general
too.
As many of you have come to know and learnt, Niz Goenkar is a no-nonsense and
very bold site. It has become a leading “Light” for Goans all over the world.
The Niz –Goenkar Birthday cake may only have one candle today, but have no
doubt, it has lit many candles as a guiding light in every Village- North,
South, East and West.
Sadly, the leading daily of Goa, Herald decided to close down its comment
section for 2 main reasons. One was, because of the bad and unconstitutional
language used, as it could not be bothered to moderate or censor the comments
and subsequently, as it became a “Puppet” in the hands of Goa’s very Corrupt
Politicians.
The Politicians forced Herald to close down the comment section as they and
their inner sanctums were being exposed. What a shame for a Daily and its
Editor –in -Chief to be bludgeoned by the Politicians into submission. The
Herald is not concerned by, or compassionate about People issues, the salt of
Goan Earth, but are more concerned about promoting images and reputations of
Corrupt Politicians. The very sadistic Politicians that are preparing Goa for
its “doomsday”.
No worries! , In walks NIZ GOENKAR, to show Herald the way, that recently.
Herald, feeling emboldened and ashamed, has been seen to take on issues
affecting Goa. It is in a now in a state of gradual awakening.
Today the Corrupt Politicians and Police and other corrupt elements’ of Society
have taken and become aware of the existence of Niz – Goenkar.
It has been known that many are having sleepless nights and are trying hard, to
close down the NG website. Goa Police too have been using stealth and deception
to ensnare some of the commentators. The Politicians, are using and planting
spies, to derail Niz Goenkar.
However once again many Niz Goenkar Commentators, are unafraid and are prepared
to lay down their lives for the greater good of Goa, its future and the future
of its children and environment.
There have been some major contributors to Niz GOENKAR. Aside from Mr Menino
Fernandes (of Valpoi), the Founder of the site, it has seen some stalwarts like
Bebdo and P Cruz. Regrettably, Bebdo and P. Cruz have decided not to make
further contributions for personal reasons and have decided to move on to
greener pastures, to pursue their ambitions, and using other means, of making a
contribution to the welfare of Goa. We wish them un-reserved success in their
pursuits.
However I am sure Niz Goenkar` s have appreciated their efforts in enlightening
us all and thank them, for their sincere contributions.
Other major contributors’ have been, Dalia, DLP, Diogo Fichardo, Trevor, Shyam
Sawant ( a no nonsense commentator),Joe Rebello ( the Panjim Prowler), Jane
D`Sa, Tulsidas Shirodkar ( a Goan Tiger), Sneha Lata, Pedro, Pedro Lopes, Lily
Gracias, Franco, Sandesh Gaonkar, D.Justin, Pio Antao, Nisha Pednekar, Alcantro
Carneiro, Gurudas Lotlikar, John14 Pereira, Abdulla Khan (Valpoi) , Vinod Naik
(our Poet), Neil, Renoir, Francis Fernandes (Switzerland),Vishwas Prabudesai (a
prolific and intelligent commentator).
Niz Goenkar also would like to pay sincere thanks to Mr Nisser Dias, Mr A
Veronica Fernandes, Freddy Agnelo Fernandes, Joaquim Correia-Afonso an
established and renowned writer, and our eminent writers: Dr.Hubert Gomes,
Franco Fernandes, Roque Manuel Coutinho, Adv. Aires Rodrigues (The Baron of
Ribandar & nemesis of the Goa Government.) .Dr Paulo Colaco, Dr. Ferdinand Dos
Reis Falcao. Joel Morais, Lucio Mascarenhas, Francisco Monteiro, W. Severes,
Dalia, Nisha Pereira who stole the hearts of Goans on her article on the
Cansaulim episode, Sebastian B. Mesquita, Abdulla Khan from Valpoi, Rupert
Coutinho, Vinod Naik (BA Geography), Agnelo Gomes the Combakar, Alex D’Souza,
Paulo Colaco Dias, Martinho de Souza and above all not to forget our First
writer Praxy Fernandes
Who could ever forget our 2 “lovable rogues”, Johnads and James D`silva. They
both have certainly jazzed–up, juxtaposed and added fire to debates on
Niz-Goenkar, and, both have also been very gracious in defeat.
I would like to welcome all the new contributors and many Followers too in the
ever growing army of Niz Goenkar`s from all around the world. I apologise if I
have not mentioned or included your name above and I hope you will offer me
your kind understanding. But rest assured you all are True friends and great
members of the Niz Goenkar Fraternity.
I would like to make special mention and pay a special tribute to the Chairman
and Sponsor of the Niz Goenkar Football Team, DLP (a.k.a.Lazar). Along with his
dedicated wife Natty and Coach Johnny Barretto, they have nurtured a great
Football Team, which is now taking part in “Competitive” Football in the Gulf
region. No doubt, in due course they will merit great sporting Trophies.
The reach of Niz Goenkar Blog site stretches from Goa, Mumbai, New Delhi, the
UK, USA, Switzerland, Cayman Island, Dubai, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia,
Australia, Macau, Germany, U.S.A, Portugal, Angola, East Africa, France and
many others too.
The comments of, Niz Goenkars`, from all over the world, is being heard and
loved all over Goa, and, is also sending shivers in the corrupt Goa Government
and other establishments’. As a saying goes “THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE
SWORD”.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Our Host and Editor Mr Menino
Fernandes (of Valpoi), for the tremendous sacrifice and effort he has put,
selflessly and tirelessly, to give us Goans this great gift and Treasure of a
Forum, where we can discuss and understand our major concerns boldly and
fearlessly and ensure we can make a major contribution to our Motherland, Goa.
To this and in conclusion, I say VIVA Menino! VIVA NIZ GOENKARS and I am sure
you all, will join with me, in this salutation and celebration.
God bless Goa, and all Goans, everywhere. May he also, shine his light and
deliver from evil, those that live in a “dark, destructive and corrupt world”.
Please accept our sincere apologies if any name is left out. If so it is purely
out of mind and not a deliberate left out.
The whole Team of NIZ GOENKAR thanks from the bottom of their hearts all the
readers and commentators in general for taking precious time in patronizing NIZ
GOENKAR. May God Bless you all and specially our Motherland GOA and May Goa see
its Glorious days back.
