JAW WAR: Faculty of the Social Sciences Pulverises Faculty of Technology, Qualifies to the Next Round of Jaw War




by Emmanuel Akinwale


The Call of Duty for Public Speakers resumed on December 3rd, 2024, at the NFLT (New Faculty Lecture Theatre), as 8 different faculties engaged in a contest of acumen in the second round of the inter-faculty debate of the ongoing edition of the Jaw War. 

 

The second round which would see victors progress to the next round of the competition, saw the faculties square up to each other with the topics below: 

 

NURSING vs. ARTS 
Topic: Voting should be mandated for citizens in democratic countries. 


RNR VS LAW 

Topic: Is Federalism the best governance structure 


AGRICULTURE  VS PUBLIC HEALTH 

Topic: Is it in the best interest of students for the Federal government of Nigeria to implement a minimum age of 18 for admission into Universities in Nigeria 


TECHNOLOGY VS SOCIAL SCIENCE 

Topic: Is school fee increment a necessary evil to ensure the long-term sustainability of Nigeria’s education.       


Recall, that as reported by PANS Press, the Faculty of Pharmacy, expected to face the Faculty of Vet. Medicine withdrew from the competition at 5 pm, yesterday. The issue arose from a misunderstanding regarding the stance allocation for the second round of the competition as it was argued from the perspective of Pharmacy, that the Jaw War rule stipulating that teams argue opposing positions in the second round against their stance in the First Round, was contravened by Vet. Medicine. Owing to Pharmacy's withdrawal, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, automatically qualified for the next round of the competition.

 

Faculty of the Social Sciences, represented by Bobola James who is also the Faculty L and D President and Zainab Yusuff, a 300-level student of the Department of Sociology, continues her stellar performance in the competition as they pummeled the Faculty of Technology 76% to 64%

 

Below are the results:


ARTS VS NURSING 

  76.5%.     75.6% 

 

LAW.   VS   RNR 

66%.                56% 

 

TECHNOLOGY VS SOCIAL SCIENCE 

        64%.                        76% 

 

AGRICULTURE VS PUBLIC HEALTH 

       64.8%                 64% 

 

Sakeenah Kareem from the Faculty of Arts, with an 85% score, emerged as the best speaker, while the Faculty of Nursing qualified as the best loser.

Two Mariams, One Stage: JJ Classics Production Casts Sociology Sophomore, Osaremeh Ijebor, Opposite Veteran Thespian

Image
  Ijebor’s presence on stage will inevitably invite comparisons with Temi Agoro. While Agoro has the formal thespian training to boost her performance, Ijebor’s approach to the role may be done simply with outsider instincts and adaptability. AUTHOR: Eniola Awolesi K. At University of Ibadan’s Theatre Arts department, the theatre and its stagecraft-art are seen as a profession, and more than that, a heritage. So in casting decisions, the casting of a non-thespian in a major role is about as rare as a honest politician. Yet, this year’s ambitious theatrical performance by JJ Classics Production of SANKARA has done just that. A sociology sophomore by academic discipline, the spotlight has fallen on Osaremeh Ijebor as a frontline actor playing the requisite role of Mariam Sankara, wife of the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso. Of the 13 actors that make up the mainstage and student show cast, Ijebor is the only non-thespian. As a cast in the student show, she will be shadowing main...
