The University for Development Studies, Wa Campus is a universal community full of intellectuals.
Some Students in this institution are having their names on the lips of almost every student on Campus for some actions and comments made especially within this latter period where the trimester is almost ending.
As the adage goes, “If nothing touches the palm-leaves, they do not rustle”
Below are the list of the top ten “Most talked about people within this latter period”.
10. SIR NOBLE
Noble Kwabena Domfeh Emmanuel is his name and called by many as, “the only sir in Radio”. He is the host of the most authoritative show, Matters Arising show on ultimate Fm( Campus Radio). He is noted for discussing issues of students concern and admired by many for that. People have been talking about him because of his write-ups such as “the election rumours”, leaders are not to be blamed alone among others and he has been tagged as the “controversial writer”. He was talked about more when he interviewed the SRC President. Listeners felt he wasn’t fair in reading their text and WhatsApp messages and didn’t put the SRC President on his toes to answer questions they needed to hear during the show. Personal invectives were said to his personality after the interview.
9. STAPH
Profy is what some students call him. He doubles as the entertainment committee chair and the Head of Sports Department of Ultimate Fm. He is very quiet and was talked about by many because of the Students week celebration he organized with his team. Some students showed their concerns about the budget for the week celebration and thinks it was too huge. That was how he managed to be one of the most talked about students on campus.
8. FARIS
H. E Faris, the 2nd in Command (Veep) of UDS WA Campus wasn’t much known by a bigger fraction of the students populace until recently when he was awarded the Most Influential SRC/NUGS Executive Award. This gave rise to a lot of controversies as to whether indeed he is the Most Influential SRC/Nugs Executive on Campus because he’s hardly seen or heard of on Campus. His comments after the award that he is the ladies man was also a thing to talk about.
‘I would Rate our Administration 90%’; in fact this statement by H. E Faris Salman Ayuba on Matters Arising show hosted by Sir Noble on Ultimate Fm, a campus based Radio Station didn’t land well as a lot of students expressed their disagreement.
7. FIRDAUSE
Miss Fridause Kassim, the Women’s Commissioner of Wa Campus had a rest to her name after the WOCOM Cloth Saga early this trime; but somewhere along the lane, her name popped up again after she fused the WOCOM Week Celebration into the Local Students Week Celebration. A lot of people questioned how the said WOCOM week was celebrated, since they witnessed nothing aside a banner of the Week Celebration hanged at the bus terminal.
Just as the WOCOM Week Celebration was at the climax, Miss Firdause had to be at the Src/Nugs 2016 Elections vetting as she was part of the Vetting Committee, where students complained bitterly about her choice of dressing to the vetting grounds.
6. JOE GAMA
He is the immediate past CASA President and an SRC Presidential candidate in the Wa Campus general election this year. He is one of the most talked about aspirants in the race. Alot of rumours were made about him during the day before the election (which was stopped by the police). Some section of the students support his idea of contesting whiles others doesn’t because they argue that, he is running from the “duty of God”. This made him a public figure and one of the most talked about people. The vision will speak ” is his motto for campaign.
5. JOEMENS
Joseph Harry Mensah popularly known as “Joemens” is also an SRC Presidential Candidate in this years elections. He contested last year with the sitting President and lost. He didn’t give up. Coming in again with lots of experience this year, he has a team who sells his name afar. He was also attributed to some rumors. His running mate was part of the race and joined him when the game got more heated. This as well got people to talk about him more.
4. B. A
B. A is the initials of Bernard Amoh who happens to be the SRC President of this institution. It has been usual thing that every president is mostly talked about. Undoubtedly, H. E Benard Amoh’s stories have been on the lips of many since he started his administration resumed office. On way or the other, almost every student on campus has problem with his adminstration. There is always something to hear in his tenure of office. He is always blamed for everything as a President even if his appointees committed the wrong. Rumors have it that he has a favorite candidate among the aspirants. I believe many of us have seen the cartoon of both our president and his alleged favorite candidate (made by an unknown person) going round the social media especially WhatsApp, albeit, he debunked that allegation last Wednesday on the campus Radio. Many people share sentiments that “he appointed incompetent appointees and needs not to interfere the works of the E. C. or any other of his independent committees. The temporal closure of the campus Radio station by his order also contributed much to the frequent mentioning of his name by students.
3. Sampson
The SRC Public Relations Officer was talked about early this trimester and latter part of last trimester when the students were not happy with his comments/answers on a hanging ceiling at the school’s auditorium.
He was also known to be using understandable vocabularies in addressing or giving information to students. He was topping the list of the most talked about during the vetting period especially his statement to the NUGS President. Some section of the crowd revealed that, he chaired the vetting committee when he wasn’t supposed to and they saw him to be “too knowing “.
He has been the most verbally attacked SRC executive so far by students of Wa Campus.
2. Glondy Donkor
“Your form was not completely filled and therefore per the Constitution, we cannot vet you”. Anybody who was present at this year’s vetting process would understand this statement by Mr. Glondy Donkor who is the electoral commission chairman. This was the statement said to aspirants who didn’t fill their forms well. He was lambasted by many students after the first day of the vetting process for allowing the SRC PRO to take over his responsibility. To show the students that he is competent, he came the following day with that statement but was critized for selling a Faculty Rep forms to aspirants. That wasn’t enough, some of the aspirants who were not vetted petitioned him to the judicial board but he won. The elections he organized on the 5th of April was stopped by Police and this brought a whole lot of rumours about him. He was not known by many until he conducted the faculty Rep elections last trimester which brought controversies. People were Lloyd with the view that the budget for the faculty election was too much.
1. Nicholas
Nicholas Amoah, the hero of our time? Well, this name has been on the lips of almost every student on Campus. He has been a ‘hopeful’ SRC President since 2014 although he couldn’t pull much in the 2015 elections, this young man has been on his toes since then and has proven to the student populace his determination to lead the school. Nicholas was one of the biggest threats in the 2016 SRC/NUGS Elections until he was disqualified during the vetting process because he didn’t fill his nomination form precisely.
In disagreement, Nicholas pressed charges against the EC to the school’s Judicial Board for disqualifying him on weak grounds. The ruling of the school’s Judicial Board wasn’t in favour of Nicholas so he appealed and latter sent the case to the Wa High Court where it was alleged that he (Nicholas) was given injunction letters to be served to the SRC President, EC chairman and the Vice Dean of Students for them to not hold the 2016 Elections until the court has finally ruled the Case.
Yet, the EC went ahead to conduct the Elections which most students had doubts about but had no other choice than to join long queues to cast their ballots for the respective candidates. In the process, the Police stormed the various pulling stations to pick up the ballot boxes claiming there was an Injunction placed on the Elections so the EC therefore had no authority to conduct the elections.
This incident triggered the name ‘Nicholas’ as to how he has strived to fight for justice.
