While Awolowo and Soyinka spoke in support of the use of diplomacy to fight terrorism, Azikwe and Balewa spoke glowingly on the need to fight the menace using force. Incidentally, the forum had an NCUK team made up of Mr. Alan and Mr. Andrew in its midst. At the end of 5o minutes, the following scores were released by the panel of Judges: Soyinka House (Represented by Mayomikun Deji-Omotayo and Amarachi Tony-Ubah)- 1ST Azikwe House (Represented by Ifunanya Nwokedi and Anulika Nwofe)- 2ND Balewa (Represented by Olisadalu Amakaeze and Amanda Gin-Dozie)- 3RD Awolowo House (Represented by Esther Anaga and Oyindamola Depo-Oyelohun)- 4TH CONGRATULATIONS TO SOYINKA...
