The dark clouds were massed on the horizon and the wind blowing a gale, the sky looked very gloomy, apt expressions vividly show that it was about to rain elephants and hippopotamus for cuts and dogs are too tiny to fit the description of the heavy torrent that poured as though God had emptied all water reservoirs in heaven.
I was in my room reflecting on the positive and negative things I have learnt since my life on the invisible four corners of KNUST campus. A lot of germane things did I realize had made impart on my life; at least, I don’t shy the opposite sex any more. What about the incongruous aspect? The dress code of some of our girls on campus could not allow me to cogitate again than to be woebegone.
I can recall vividly those times in SHS when we used to run away from school to Legon campus to watch football match and eat from their bush canteen though it wasn’t in the bush. Some of us almost felt like we were part of the university. What do you think always gingered us to troop into the university apart from food and football?
Hmmm, of course, to see these half naked girls from the Volta Hall and Pentagon Hostel; we were fascinated and cook-a-hoop by this malarkey of girls who dressed as though they were going to Pantang Psychiatric Hospital for mental diagnoses.
You could see with your crystal clear lens even when you are blind the nude parts of this university girls who are suppose to make impart on the society with the myriad wisdom acquired from kindergarten to the university. The possible future ministers and unlikely future presidents rather expose their ugly thigh and hips to indicate that they have had avalanche of sex and so exposing their private parts will cost them nothing.
Well, this is KWAME NKRUMAH UNIVERSITY OF SPIRITUAL TRAINING, where some of our ladies have tongues that are sharper than the edge of circumcision blades when it comes to speaking in tongues; meanwhile indecency has been the bench mark of some of these ladies. My experience at CCF church service last semester when I was torn between fixing my eyes on the preacher man or a lady who had dressed shabbily sitting just by me took my attention from the sermonizer.
To fess up, I didn’t listen to the preaching but was forced by natural instinct laws to submit my attention to this thing sitting by me. God forgive this girl. AMEN!
Chinua Achebe has a proverb I like so much; he said in his arrow of God that if you beat any rhythm in a big house, you will always get someone to dance to it. Apostle Paul puts it more succinctly in 2 Timothy 2:20 which says “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honor and some to dishonor.” This helped me to I admit the fact that, in this school, we have the shameless kind of ladies who debase themselves to the level of sex objects and I wonder the essence of their university education.
They walk practically naked and there are also some of them you can’t just sit behind in a lecture room if you really want to understand what is being taught. Not only do these ladies show their beads but they also show their……. Sorry, I nearly said a***s. The madness driving our country to its ruins is this foolishness they mistake for human rights. Talk about indecent dressing on campuses and you’ll get someone to spin weird tales about abusing student’s fundamental human rights. Interestingly, the KNUST School of law is just behind my hostel and you will always see them in their uniforms, yes, uniforms. You cannot dress anyhow at the Ghana school of law, but don’t the law students know their rights?
That wayward dressing is a sign of immaturity, by merely looking at the appearance of ladies on campus, you can tell a graduate from an undergraduate student in terms of domestic and intellectual maturity. I always fight for the right of females, but the battle for gender equality will forever remain fruitless if women continue to reduce themselves to sex symbols.
I don’t see the sense in ladies featuring in music videos almost naked while the male artiste, whose track being promoted is in suit and tie. Are the Okyeame Kwame and Sakordie superior to their female artistes? Why do their equally talented female counterparts such as Mzbel think that showbiz is all about showing ones vital parts on stage?
It is true that on Legon campus, when you see some ladies, the only possible thing you can think of is sex unless you are as holy as I am. They are happy when guys refer to them as being sexy, but the truth is that no serious minded guy wants to date a sex symbol.
However, there are also some ladies on both Legon and KNUST campuses, who are so decent that your mind goes to marriage whenever you set eyes on them. These are referred to as marriage materials. It is my strongest wish that the former will be among the latter.
