Image
  As university management is struggling to find solutions to the unending rivalry between residents of Commonwealth hall and Mensah Sarbah hall, a twitter user has came out with a rather weird proposal. In his tweet, he said Commonwealth hall should be named after the vice president of Ghana, H.E Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. The twitter user by name Latif believes that this would end the fight between them because they will be busy fighting the dollar rather than engaging in violent clashes. He also went on to propose that the two major universities in the country, University of Ghana and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology should abolish these traditional halls before someone dies. In his tweet he wrote, "UG and KNUST should abolish these traditional halls before someone dies. Them for change Commonwealth hall to Bawumia hall make them help fight the dollar". Twitter commentators who did not see the humor in his statement took it to a whole new level. What do you ma...
