After going through the qualifying stages that saw all contestants eating about 8
balls of kenkey at the dining hall, four people made it to the finals on the 12th
of November.
With the speed that these people ate the food at the dining hall, one
needs no soothsayer or prophet to have told him what to expect since all the guys
were up to the task and knew what they were about.
The contestants.
The entertainment started with
songs from some individual people. Senior Ampong then came forward to announce the
motive behind the competition and also made it known to them the sponsors for the
occasion, prempeh.org. He told them how the website has been helping the college in
diverse ways and why they need to be abreast with the information of the college
and her old boys by visiting the site.
The competition then started with the boys eating a bowl full of "coloured," the
name given to jollof rice at the Kings College.
Eventually, Simon Kwadwo Frimpong,
who is an aspirant for the prempeh.org manhunt ate all the food at an alarming
rate of nearly less than five minutes.
Eating competition champion Kwadwo Frimpong.
He was thus crowned the champion for the
day.The competition saw so many people making noise and yelling since they all
wanted Kwadwo Frimpong to win. This is because, he has a penchant for "capturing" at
the dining hall and all students know him to be someone who loves eating a lot.
He
thus had the privillege to eat at the high table with the senior prefects for a whole
week and also had a nice cufflinks shirt and an amount of money from the
webmaster.
Kwadwo is now hoping to win the double -- to be crowned Mr. Prempeh as well on saturday night.
