You asked for it...

I promised a few posts ago to do a post on the NCCF nicknames. So, here we go:

In most NCCF houses, every member of the executive committee (ExCo) of the fellowship has a nickname for his/her post. In fact, at the Iwo family house, it is prohibited to address ExCos by their real names; you are required to use their nicknames. The reason for this is to reinforce that 'family' vibe. However it is important to note also that using these nicknames during official ExCo meetings is prohibited. In scenarios of that sort, we have to keep it official.

Co-ordinator - Papa

Secretary- Uncle

Asst. Secretary - Aunty

Sisters' Coordinator/Welfare Secretary- Mama

Asst. Sisters' Coordinator/Asst. Welfare Secretary - A.Mama

Bible Study Secretary- Rabbi

Evangelism Secretary- Rugged (before you ask, we use 'Rugged' because our evangelism 

programme is called 'Rural Rugged')

Prayer Secretary- Prayo

Publicity Secretary- Publo

Financial Secretary- Finsec

Treasurer- C.B.N.

Musical Director- M.D.

Drama Director- D.D.

Transport and Organising Secretary- Landlord

Chief Medical Director- C.M.D.

Asst. Medical Director- A.M.D. 

Chief Usher- Chiefo

Whenever there's a post of an assistant, 'A-' would be added to the original title. As you'll see is the case in 'A.Mama' and 'A.M.D.'. There are some posts that never have 'A's, though, like 'Papa' and 'Uncle'. Every other post is 'A-able'. Also, while you might find some of these posts occupied in some other NCCF zones/sub-zones, they may not exist in others. For example, here at NCCF Iwo, we don't have a 'Chiefo', and our 'Aunty' is also the 'D.D.', while our 'A.Mama' is also the C.B.N.

You're allowed to laugh. We all found the names hilarious too when we first got here. Now, everyone's gotten used to it. It's crazy, I bet you some of our Batch B (June intake) corpers don't even know most of the ExCos' real names. Lol.

PS: It's a town, not a village! :P
