6 NILE NEWS / ISSUE NO. 15 / 2018 JANUARY THINGS WE LEARNED FROM NPUGA (EDITOR S MUSINGS) The 7th Edition of the NPUGA Games offered lots of interesting insights from discovering that our Vice-Chancellor has impressive football kicking skills (before kick-off in the opening match), to realizing that even our usually calm football coach can go Beserk should the situation demand it that added to the event s entertainment value. On that note, here are some of the things we learned from the Games: * Some people didn t come to play! There are two types of coaches VS the Bad Cop coach that is never satisfied the Good Cop coach that is always yelling good shot boy! even when you re playing absolute nonsense.

Our Naija brothers will always hustle! * No one slays the Agbada quite like our VC Playing NairaBet/Bet9ja in an NPUGA * match? Wonders will never end. There are two types of FANS VS the oversabi group that will even * criticize a player for getting injured * the I have no idea what I m doing here group that will be asking why the goalkeeper s jersey is different from his teammates
