Pupils of Catholic School Njindom have gone and beaten those of Sang. On Thursday March 23 2023, the Catholic School Sang field became a centre of attraction as villagers and parents of the nursery and primary school pupils forewent their other activities to answer present on the pitch and watch the kids scramble for victory.
In handball girls, it was a landslide victory for Njindom as they demoralised Sang by 18 goals to 4. To remove the shame during football boys, Sang saw resistance to concede a goal from Njindom as a duty. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, taking the match right to penalties, at the end of the day, a scapegoat still had to carry the burden on his head as luck refused to be on his side, thus ending the match with Njindom still beating Sang again by 4 goals to 3.

The return match has been programmed for Wednesday March 29 2023 this time around on Catholic School Field Njindom. There are speculations the Sang youngsters will be coming to turn the tables and also best Njindom well on their own field. It's going to be must watch match that can be dubbed The Return of Sang.
Rev. Father Ngu Emmanuel, parish priest of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Njindom is the brain behind the idea to bring these two primary schools together for a sports frenzy so that memories of the good old days can be rekindled and the children enjoy their youthfulness so that tomorrow they'll have stories to tell about their primary school days when they grow up.

Rev. Fr. Ngu ever since being transfered to Shepherd God's flock in Njindom parish has from time to time shifted from the main narrative of God, Bible, Heaven, Hell, Sin to facing other worldly realities. He attends birthday parties, weddings, funerals, wines and dines with the commoners even in bars irrespective of their social statues or way of life. However any time he mounts the altar to preach, souls are always touched.
In the heart of the Anglophone Crisis when barrels were smoking across Mbengwi, schools not functioning, Rev. Fr. Ngu Emmanuel mustard courage, braved the odds and organised a football tournament in Njindom that ended up pulling over 500 spectators together. Last year it was same thing and there are prospects that come August 2023, another edition of the Njindom Father's Cup may still take place again.

Not only does he limit himself to Njindom in Mbengwi but also penetrates other subdivisions in Momo. Few months back, images of Fr. Ngu Emmanuel in Njikwa surfaced online. Where others fear to go, he goes. Whom others fear to encounter, he encounters them and talks with them and he's never been hurt. It is feared tears of regret will flow down hundreds of cheeks across several denominations and homes in the Njindom parish and beyond the day Rev. Fr. Ngu Emmanuel shall be transferred from Njindom to another parish. Until then, for how, he's impacting humanity exactly as his calling demands
