Announcing Our 3rd CA: Ifeanyi Chudi

He’d prolly tell you he is a philosopher; real ones know that questions like “what is love?” which philosophy prides on is only asked by people who are yet to find love.

What he did find was something remarkably close in debating. Known for his technically precise and remarkably calm first speeches, Ifeanyi was a silent terror in his prime. Never the loudest person in the room, but often the one with the sharpest analysis, he had a way of dismantling arguments with a level of logic that felt almost effortless.

Engage him in a serious argument at your own risk; chances are he’ll take you on a journey through principles, mechanisms, and contradictions you didn’t know existed.

Looking for Aristotle before Aristotle? You might just find him in Ifeanyi.

Announcing our First CA: Ezeri Grace Chidimma

Get ready for a core adjudicator who brings both brainpower and a love for the game! As someone who has debated in so many tournaments, made multiple finals, cried, and even shared my deepest pains with I don't think you're getting anything short of value when you bring Grace to the table.

Known for her skill-chasing spirit, she’s always sharpening her debate toolkit, like a debate ninja, always leveling up!

But what truly sets her apart is her pure, infectious joy for the British Parliamentary debate. She doesn’t just judge rounds. She lights them up, making debate as fun as it is fierce! Get ready for CA with brains, charm, and a little sparkle of madness. Don't worry, she only stings if and only if you get on her bad side. "

The club recorded complete breaks in open and novice categories of the tournament with 3 open speakers in the Open Finals and two teams in the Novice Finals, and two speakers in the Public Speaking Finals. Beyond this, the club produced the Best Open Speaker and Champion of the tournament, Ebubechukwu Anene E Boo Bae and the Best Public Speaker Nelson Nwadike as well as several top speakers and judges across the public speaking and debating categories.

At the Nigerian Débatteur D’or Awards, the club received five nominations and secured three major national awards, including the prestigious Debate Union of the Year 2025 title, a recognition of the steady growth and excellence of the club within Nigeria’s debating community.

Other special recognition at the Débatteur D’or Awards included:
