| Nana Kwame, aka DJ Enkay |
Who is Mr Asa-Mensah Kwame? (Mandatory: relationship status--single, married, broken up (ended in tears) or crushing?)
I am Nana Kwame Asa-Mensah, a third year Metallurgical engineering student. I'm 20 years old and in Evandy hostel. I attended Mfantsipim school and I'm a jovial person. I am not single. Saa?
What was your experience like in secondary school?
Attending a boys' school is fun and challenging because of the high peer influence and one could easily fall prey but enjoyable because of all the fun and excellence accredited to a school like mine.
Metallurgical Engineering. Were you given the programme or you really wanted to
do it? What informed your decision if you chose it?
Personally,
I wanted to study Petrochemical Engineering but I was given metallurgical
engineering (another story on its own). Hmm...common experience
How has the programme been so far?
I
won't lie, the course has been very demanding and involving but we would
definitely sail through successfully.
Why did you choose KNUST among all the other institutions in the country and
beyond?
I
chose KNUST because of one reason only: it is the best engineering university
in the country. And in West Africa.
What positions have you held so far in your academic life?
I am
currently the deputy entertainment chairperson for GESA.
Got a major non-academic activity? If yes, tell us about it.
I am
a disc jockey in my free time.
Please tell us how you manage to blend social and academic life?
I
try to balance everything as much as I can. Mostly I get involved in my social
activities if it doesn't clash with my academic work.
Any achievements or special awards?
I
haven't won any awards yet but I was nominated for the "Best campus DJ
" category at last year's Campus Baze awards. Well done
What or who inspires you?
My mum is my source of inspiration because of her hardworking nature thus she
pushes to become the best person I can ever be everyday. Sweet mother
What is your vision and mission in life?
My
mission and vision in life is to be a person who would challenge the status quo
as well as impact my generation and many others after I leave the world.
Which extracurricular activities do usually engage in?
Swimming and playing football.
How do you see the Department so far? Are there any improvements you would want
to see?
MATESA
is a very interesting department and I can say so far, so good. Personally I
would like to see improvements in the lecturer-student relationship. Well noted!
When it comes to Materials Engineering, what field are you particularly interested
in and why?
My
major interest is Nanotechnology, because I believe this is the future of the
world and I would like to make the world a better place.
What do you think about the way we are taught here in the university?
My
observation is that the style of teaching in this institution is too much of
theory and little hands-on practice. I believe that a little more practical work would make the learning process easier and better. Oh OK
The Core of Engineering Technology, what does this mean to you?
The
Core of Engineering technology simply means we are the basis on which all other
engineering processes continue. I could argue that we are the most important
field of engineering. Fact
What should we expect from you in the next few years?
Well
in the next few years, all I can say is expect something great because I
surprise myself sometimes.

SPORTS
So far you have been the goalkeeper for the class team of Metallurgy 3, what are
your experiences?
Being
a goalkeeper has been very nice but also annoying sometimes.
Aside goalkeeping, what other positions can you play comfortably?
I
can also be a defender because I hate attacking (low stamina). Obviously
Which football player do you look up to?
I
look up to Cristiano Ronaldo and Petr Cech.
Name your favorite starting XI of your class team.
My
ultimate XI
GK:
myself
DEF:
Afari, Mickey, Vincent, Abaidoo
MID:
Atuiri, Ralph, Asaase, Kay 2
ATT:
Segu, Sly
Who
is that player in the class team whose presence boosts your morale?
I would say Atuiri because he makes everyone
around him a better player.
Your class team couldn't qualify from the group stages of the just ended
Engineering Premier League (EPL), what went wrong?
Unfortunately
we couldn't qualify to the next stage of EPL; this is because we played a draw
under questionable circumstances and lost our second match as well. We had a
chance to qualify on our last match even though we won, we were
unable to qualify due to our poor goal difference.
Do you ever regret conceding goals where you could have saved?
I
regret conceding goals against Materials 3 the most because we are obviously
better than them. Hahaha
Which player from your class team do you hate playing with?
Appiah
Sandy
Apart from football, which other game can you play?
Basketball
and volleyball
Can you verify the authenticity of the rumour that you are a disc jockey (DJ)?
Yes
I am. My stage name is DJ Enkay. Go all out DJ Enkay
Engineering as against footballing and Disc Jockeying, what's the correlation?
Which
of these has the greatest tendency of becoming your career in the future?
There's
no correlation with engineering though but I DJ because of the love I have for
music and entertaining people through music. Being a DJ also serves as an
Avenue to escape my school related stress. I would be an engineer by profession
but there's no harm in taking disc jockeying to another level.
Given the opportunity to say something to any member of the department, who and
what will be your message?
I
don't have any message for anyone in particular but to all of us; "United
we stand, divided we fall".
Please
share with us. your last words.
I'll
end by saying that this life is all about balance; do not listen to what others
say, have a free spirit and be good because that's who you are.
I
thank the Sports Committee for giving me this opportunity as well. Thank
you all.
