This is IWAYA

Episode 3

They wanted their share of the child and so they decided to give him the name PhilipBet.

On the day of delivery, just as God will have it, the rain-sun event happened again. This was a great sign to Philip and Betty and so they decided to take care of PhilipBet with all they've got; to give him the best mental education.
......

At age nine, PhilipBet was already gaining attention in the city of Iwaya. He became the overall best student of his class. He is not just brilliant, he is a genius. He has a mentality different from the average people of iwaya. He always challenged their beliefs and ready to prove them wrong.

“Didn’t you know that you cannot have an ‘A’ in Professor Ugo’s course? For him to give you a ‘B’ is a miracle and you need to share testimony in church. I remembered he said that ‘A’ is for him, ‘B’ is for his wife and the rest are for us or have you forgotten? If i had a ‘B’ in that course, i will be the happiest person that day because it is impossible to have that. So my friend, you better be happy with it. Don’t even try to call for your script or else, you want to be the enemy of the school. You know he is the most respected lecturer and his colleagues do fear him. So who are you to challenge what he does?” Chisom advised PhilipBet

Hearing this got PhilipBet angry and so he walked straight to his course adviser’s office to ask for the procedures to call for one’s script. He was so sure of what he has written and he is ready to prove his friend wrong-at least to break that mentality.

Mr Kenny-the course adviser-tried to talk him out of calling for his script by telling him how dangerous it is but he has made up his mind to do so. He even got more reasons to do so when Mr Kenny said almost the same thing Chisom said.

“What kind of fear has this man built in people so much that they are scared to do their right-the right thing. All of them will always conclude their fearful state with this annoying sentence ‘this is Iwaya and not America’ and i wonder, “what can i do about this” PhilipBet was caught in this deep thought.

The information got to his Dean and he was called upon. The dean also adviced him to withdraw the letter stating the same reasons but he still insisted and finally he got what he wanted.

As Mr Kenny, Chisom and the Dean has rightly said, the manipulation was done. The Prof changed the marking scheme and also bribed with the external interventions. Though while the investigation was going on, it was clear without reasonable doubt that PhilipBet was right but then ‘this is Iwaya’

He still didn’t want to accept. He was left with no choice but to face the music.

Though, he was not able to prove his friend and others wrong through winning the case. He was not able to remove the fear from them, but he was able to build same fear in the Prof and other lecturers in the school.

 He couldn’t get the ‘A’ for himself, but other sets after him had an ‘A’ and more good grades in the Prof Course.

He was rusticated for one semester as the punishment for his action.

What will he do at home?
Is he planning to sue the school? Is he going to just accept the punishment?

Episode 4 will tell us.
