Contrary to popular belief, Commonwealth Hall residents at the University of Ghana claim they are not antagonistic toward female guests who enter the building wearing red clothing.
They contend that the claim is false and ought to be rejected by everyone.
The inhabitants, known as "the Vandals," expressed regret about the negative impression the public has of them in an interview on the first episode of Joy Campus on Sunday. One of these pervasive beliefs is that female students who enter the Hall are occasionally harassed and hooted at, especially if they are wearing red clothing.
However, one of the worried residents revealed to the presenter, Paa Kwesi Schandorf, that because the Hall's typical colour is red, the locals only become pleased when they see their female visitors wearing red.
According to "Zygod," a resident who met with the Joy Campus team, the presence of female visitors in the Hall ignites "the feminine portion" of the Hall, which is entirely occupied by male residents.
We don't yell at the girls, which is the problem. We compliment the females when they arrive wearing red. We compliment them just because we feel red is our colour. Therefore, if a woman is wearing red, it indicates that she is one of us. So we sing "Y K K" in appreciation of her.
So we give the gals praise. At them, we don't hoot. That we never touch girls should be made clear to everyone out there. Never. We are quite thrilled when the girls are around us. We sense the feminine side of ourselves," he insisted.
According to him, Commonwealth Hall at the University of Ghana welcomes the most female guests each day compared to other residence halls because of its friendly people.
Some of the tenants also refuted the claim that Commonwealth Hall is renowned for disorderly behaviour and violent crime.
In this regard, the inhabitants said that their activity and support for the rights of the marginalised are their sole legitimate passions, and that their attitude should not be interpreted as disorderly conduct.
The Joy Campus team's visit of the Hall provided further information about the building. The initials of the term given to inmates of Commonwealth Hall by Raymond Edem Tamekloe, a resident who interacted with the team, were clarified.
The "V" stands for "Vivacious," "A" for "Affable," "N" for "Neighbourly," "D" for "Dedicated," "A" for "Altruistic," "L" for "Loyalty," and "S" for "Solidarity," he said.
Joy Campus, a brand-new television programme, debuted on July 24, 2022, on Sunday. The JoyNews channel will also broadcast further programmes on Sunday at 11 a.m. The Vandals, who take great pleasure in being the offspring of "Father Bacchus," were the subject of the first episode of the programme, which is available here.
