The Crawford Departmental Games kicked off last weekend with Games involving NABAMS, GEMSSA, NUASA amongst others. It began on Friday begun with a football match between NUASA (Nigerian Universities Association of Accounting students) and NACOSS (National Association of Computer Science Students). Donning yellow shorts on yellow tops, the NACOSS team lined up players like Joe, Ovo, Apreh, Osas and the rest while the NUASA team putting on red shorts and tops paraded players like Precious, Christian, Brown, Hakeem, Dele etc. The referee was a certain Mr. SEUN (a staff in the Parents Forum Office), with Paul and Cool Joe filing in as the linesmen for the match. The captains for the sides were Osas and Hakeem for NACOSS and NUASA respectively. Kicking off at exactly 5:20 pm, the match was uninteresting at first with wrong tackles, misplaced passes and slow movements filing up the first 10 minutes. Progressing as far as the 30th minute, there was no major highlight or talking points. Bori...

NABAMS is National Association of Business Administration and Management Students. It is a department which boasts of a small population of students. Yet, the department is laden with a whole deal of greatness and potential. This was evident yesterday when it defeated NUASA (Nigerian Association of Accounting Students) by 2 goals to nil. This win moves NABAMS 6 points clear at the summit of group 1. Played under a cold ambience; the Match started by 5:10 pm with the centre referee still Mr. SEUN. Draco (NAPSS) and Precious (NAPSS) were the linesmen for the match while Ubong and Hakeem were the captains for NABAMS and NUASA respectively. NUASA lined up in its starting lineup, players like Hakeem, Chris Mufasa, Precious, Dele, Ofuya, Chris George etc. For NABAMS, the usual suspects remained ATM, Agagu, Ubong, Jide (Papilo), Sofo, Emerald and Student-comedian, Bucket. The first goal was conceded by NUASA in the 10th minute; Emerald (NABAMS) scored in the box from an assist by Sofo. Bot...

It was all NACOSS and little NESA during the first match of week 2 of the ongoing football competition as NESA lost to NACOSS in a sad way and thus, becoming the first team to pcrash out of the ongoing competition. The game was a close one between both teams as NESA sought to earn their first three points after losing its first match to NABAMS, while NACOSS went into the game determined to earn three maximum points.  The game started by 5 pm with Mr. Seun as the Regular referee and Cool Joe with Precious were the linesmen for the game. Moh (300L) was the captain for NESA while Osas was the captain for NACOSS. Osas (400L) scored the first goal of the match from the penalty spot after a foul was made on a NACOSS player. Jide equalized for NESA from an unexpected shot which was directed at the NACOSS keeper. The NACOSS goalie was however slow to respond and the ball rolled home. At half time, it was still a goal apiece. Second half resumed with more action from both sides. T...

It was certainly super anticipated, being the pioneering association to start this session’s dinner and award’s night for the university. It was fun at least; I’ll just go on to the ratings:All categories for ratings are over 20% in total 100%. DECORATIONS: well since the monument garden was used as the venue, it wasn’t expected that the decorations would be overly elaborate as it would be super expensive for your department, but you did your best. So I’ll give you 17%. FOOD SERVICE: well this one category is one I have a lot to say about, I thought it was a buffet service dinner, apparently there’s a new definition for buffet service given by GEMSSA, “it’s a situation where you have geology students and invites line up to collect plates of food”. I wasn’t impressed by the taste of the food either so pardon me if your ratings don’t make you happy. Next set please do better. 10.5% EVENT ORGANIZATION: somehow I can’t begin to fathom how we have dinners without ushers in Crawford U...
