| Vincent Tahiru (SOTW) |
Who is Mr.Vincent….? (Relationship
status: dating, broken up, gnashing)
I Vincent Hussein Tahiru, I come from Tamale but I
live in Accra.I went to Achimota school, and yeah I’m dating.
Share with us your experience in secondary
school. What is the worst thing you ever did in school which you really regret?
SHS was really cool. Motown is so much fun and filled
with a lot of activities, and pretty girls so I liked it a lot. I did every
sport some but my specialities were athletics, handball, hockey and football.
The thing I regret doing in SHS was staying in class more and not studying
enough.
Why did you choose KNUST over the other
universities?
Well, KNUST is the best engineering institution in the
country and I always wanted to come here and pursue an engineering degree.
Metallurgical Engineering, were you given the
programme or you chose it? If the latter, what influenced your choice?
Actually, I wanted to study civil engineering but
unfortunately, I got Metallurgy. I chose it as my third choice though, but it’s
cool enough.
Have your expectations with respect to both
KNUST and Metallurgical Engineering been met?
Well, a bit but not really. I actually expected more.
Campus is cool but I don’t really like how the lecturers disturb us and how
people look down on Metallurgy as an engineering program.
Given the opportunity to change something
about the department, what will it be?
I don’t like how some of the lecturers in the
department treat us--like kids! We’re adults and we shouldn’t be treated like
SHS kids. We’re in a university for God’s sake.
Share with us some rumours you heard
concerning life on university campus. Verify them.
I don’t take rumours seriously so I don’t remember
any.
Assuming it is mandatory to choose a spouse
from Materials Engineering three(3),who will she be?Tell us about her.
A spouse from Materials 3? El Freda Narh straight up.
She’s just wonderful, she’s cool and very pretty.
Which of the members of the current
executive board do you really admire? Why?
I admire our President, Mr.Samuel Afari a lot. He’s
extremely down-to-earth and very likeable.
What do you intend doing with Metallurgical
Engineering in future?
I’d like to get a nice job in metal processing or
extraction company and start my own metal recycling plant and produce
construction materials from previously used metals.
Do you have any special awards? Share with us
(if any).
'Nerr', I don’t have any major award but they’ll definitely come soon.
Which extracurricular activity (ies) do you
engage in mostly?
I play football a lot; I run 400 metres and I’m very
good at triple and long jump. I like swimming too.
Where do you want to see yourself in the
next decade?
In the next decade, I should have my beautiful family
and a successful business. And I’ll start my career in politics God-willing.
What do you do for fun? Who are those who
share your belief and ideologies?
I read novels, play games, and visit friends, for fun.
My boys: Denis, Kelvin, Pomary, and my brother Victor know the drill. We dey hunt
for campus.

| Real fan of Real Madrid |
What do you think went wrong that led to the
eviction of the Metallurgical Engineering team from the EPL?
During the EPL, some
of our players weren’t present during the first game and we had limited options
so we ended up drawing. If we had won that first game against Telecom, we’d
have qualified to the knockout stage of the competition. Also, our
forwards have a problem with finishing. We scored just one goal from direct play
in the competition. The others were a penalty and a corner which was taken
excellently.
Aside from playing as a fullback, where else can
you play comfortably? Who is the toughest winger you have ever played against? Which
class team, do you enjoy playing against?
I’m a very good striker but I don’t get the chance to
show my goal-scoring prowess in my class team. They need me in that defence
more. The toughest winger I’ve played against is a guy from Biological Science
3 nicknamed Messi. But I still kept a clean sheet against him and we won that
game 1:0, thanks to a brilliant burst of pace from Afari and an excellent goalkeeping from Dennis Amoah. I hurt myself preventing that Messi guy from
directing his deadly finesse shots towards our goalkeeper. I like playing
against Human Biology 3 because they’re extremely good tactically and
discipline-wise, just like Materials 3.
Who is the player of your class team whose
presence in the line up boosts your morale? Whose presence is vice versa?
Kelvin Atuiri aka Zatman. He’s a rock as a defensive
midfielder and a shield as a center back. All our players are cool except some
people who keep discouraging us because they think they’re “disciplined”.
Name your preferred strongest line up of the
Metallurgical Engineering team.
My preferred 11: Nana
Kwame as GK; Kay2, Jollof, Kelvin, and myself as defenders; Denis,
Raphael, Kefblu, and I wish I could use Kelvin again but let’s go with Asaase as
midfielders. And the two Richards; Segu and Richie as strikers. Our team isn’t
good at scoring headers so we don’t need any wingers.
Given the chance to choose either Football
or Engineering as a full-time career, which one will you go for? Why?
I’ll choose football as a career without a doubt.
Which team do you support? What influenced
your choice?
Real Madrid FC is my favourite team. It’s the greatest
club in the world. Imagine winning 3 UCL in a row and it’s not even our golden
generation because we had the likes of Di Stefano, Kopa, Gento, and Ferenc
Puskas making history even before the dawn of the 21st century. Hands down, the kings of football and
the greatest club on earth. HalaMadrid y nada mas.
What was the humiliating defeat your
team (fan) suffered that you can’t forget?
I’ll never forget
when Real Madrid lost the UEFA super cup to Atletico Madrid after extra time.
Our first defeat in a continental club final in the 21st century.
Name a five-man line of your fan team in the
order: goalkeeper, two defenders, a midfielder and a striker.
Courtois, Ramos, and Varane, Modric, Hazard.
Tell someone (in the department)something.
To everyone in the department, we’ll surely make it
big in the field of materials and metallurgical engineering if we set our minds
on it.
Who is your celebrity crush? Why?
My celebrity crush is Amanda Stenberg. She’s the
prettiest actress in the world but unfortunately, she’s not straight. I still
love her though. Lesbians are hot.
SPORTS QUIZ
Who is Peter Cech’s all-time feared
attacker?
Wayne Rooney who played for Everton, Manchester United
and in the MLS.
