Five Scenes, One Script: DRAMA’s Masterclass Against NAPAS


 The final whistle blew, but for the NAPAS team, it felt like the end had come long before the game started. With no chance of qualifying for the next round, tonight’s match against the Drama Department was meant to be a formality. But for DRAMA, it was a stage to shine, and they played their roles to perfection, delivering five unforgettable scenes.

The game began under the fading light at Training Pitch 1, and from the first whistle, DRAMA made their intentions clear. They weren’t here for just another match; they were here to make a statement. By halftime, they had already written the first three acts, each goal showcasing their skill, precision, and hunger. NAPAS tried to hold their ground, but the cracks were all too visible.

In the second half, DRAMA came back just as relentless, adding two more goals to the script. For the NAPAS team, it was their heaviest loss of the tournament, a painful reminder of their struggles throughout the group stage. The team had already lost to Chemistry in their opener and drawn against Philosophy in the second match. Tonight, they simply couldn’t find their footing.

One peculiar detail stood out—NAPAS had used a different goalkeeper in every match. Today’s keeper, despite conceding five, made several notable saves that might have spared them an even more humbling scoreline. It was a small glimmer of resilience on an otherwise dark evening.

As the game ended, the Drama Department walked off the pitch victorious, their message loud and clear: they were here to perform, and perform they did. For NAPAS, the loss closes a challenging chapter, one that will require deep reflection if they hope to return stronger next season.

Football is often called a beautiful game, but tonight, it was a reminder of how brutally it can expose weaknesses. For DRAMA, this was a masterpiece. For NAPAS, a tough lesson.

A Late Start, But We Move Scheduled for 10:00 AM, the sitting didn’t officially kick off until 10:50 AM, thanks to late arrivals and unforeseen hiccups.

THE LION

  "THE LION" it's a term used overtime to describe the doggedness and tenacity of previous speakers of the public administration house of parliament in delivering its constitutional duties and it has become a conventional norms going forward. On the 21st of December 2023 at the post graduate lecture theater the parliamentary sitting of the house held,  having in attendance quite a numerous number of students from different constituencies. The sitting which started on a cozy note with various financial updates from different offices ends up in a state of dilemma between the offices of the director of socials and the financial secretary of the department. This brought about their suspension as the both of them seem not to agree on some financial statement and documentation, therefore the house of  parliament in it's wisdom suspended the director of socials  (ADEDAYO ADEAGBO) and the financial secretary ( ADEBAYO WASIU)for a period of a week starting from the end of the...

Schooled in the Chemistry of Football: Public Administration Fails the First Test.

It was supposed to be an afternoon of excitement as the Department of Public Administration faced off against the Department of Chemistry in their opening game of the Great Ife Football League. The match began with intensity, as the Chemistry team launched a high press right from kickoff, signaling their determination to secure a win by any means necessary. The Public Administration team matched their intensity, leading to a fiercely competitive first half that ended in a goalless draw. The second half saw Public Administration creating several promising chances, largely through the efforts of their energetic winger, Mubby. Despite his relentless runs and skillful attempts to break through the defense, all efforts ultimately proved abortive, as Chemistry’s defense held firm. Public Administration struggled to convert their opportunities—a performance reminiscent of a certain team from the red half of Manchester. Chemistry finally broke the deadlock with a clinical strike from their rig...
