Good girl.

Bring it to papa,

let's have it.

Have what?

Are you not even ashamed of yourself?

You see,

I know you are pained but dues must be paid.

Tayo.

You are so pathetic.

Since you want to run your mouth,

then I'll read the letter in front of everybody

in the class- -Go ahead.

Read it to everybody let them know what happened

What's giving you moral?

At this point, I'm not ashamed.

So do whatever you want to do.

Really?

You think you are tough.

But you are not.

Wait...

You know Amanda has it?

Did she give it to you?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't know what I’m talking about.

Unlike you Amanda is smart,

she is nice, she's pretty,

she’s intelligent and rich.

If you think Teekay will leave her for you,

then you are joking!

You-

Guys I totally forgot, I'm sorry.

You messed up big time guy.

And it’s all because of a woman.

That’s the most annoying part.

Guy.

It's not the girl fault.

I'm trying to fix things.

What do you want to fix?

I lost 150,000 Naira because of you guy.

Come on.

Is not like we are even sure you were going to win.

Can you hear yourself?

No, can you hear what this guy is saying?

Let's leave this place guy.

Guys is not like that.

Let's leave here.

Guy you messed up big time.

Just own it.

Teekay.

Why are you walking alone?

Where's your gang?

What gang?

Pere and co?

I don't know.

Since when?

I don't want to talk about it.

Is that why you are sad?

You shouldn't have been friends with them in the first place.

Those boys are bad news, and you know it.

Look,

some old friends are meant to be left behind.

Leave it alone Simi.

Okay, let’s go home together.

What do you say?

Okay.

Hold my hands.

Yes, Teekay.

This is the Literature note you're suppose to copy.

But,

I can help you out.

Can't I just photocopy it?

No you can’t, it’s 10 marks.

Guys, Principal Lamidi is coming.

I heard some Ss2 and 3 boys where caught smoking.

If you see the way Master Kali was chasing the students.

The security man had to dive

to be able to catch some of the boys.

Tayo were you there?

Did you see them with your own eyes?

And if you don't shut up your lying mouth.

I will write your name in the list of noise makers.

Is not the matter of ‘were you there’?

I heard the information from the horse's mouth,

As a matter of fact,

I'm just coming from the staff room.

Staff room?

Do you know the guys that got caught?

No.

My friend move!

There’re your guys.

Stand straight.

These are your fellow school mates.

Take a look at them.

These two here have decided to be useless.

They have decided to be irresponsible,

and I will be setting an example with them.

These two were caught smoking Cannabis Sativa

And some of you know it as Indian hemp.

With other names like weed or Igbo.

[Phone vibrating]

I will call you back.

Yes.

As I was saying,

this is a citadel of learning.

And any form of drug abuse is highly prohibited.

These two here, they think they are though.

They have been asked to provide the names

of their fellow culprits,

and they are protecting them.

Snitches get stitches guy.

What did you say?

Nothing Sir.

These two will surely go in for it.

Yes.

Now.

They shall be paraded through the 24 classes,

in this great institution.

Yes.

After which, they shall be suspended.

And at the end of their suspension,

they are to report to my office, with their parents.

They will receive counseling,

after which, they shall be subjected to urine test.

Nice one.

Now this is a warning to you young people.

The next time,

I catch any of you!

Excuse me sir.

Sir, I was the one who caught them.

The next time Master Kali,

catches any of you, smoking weed in my school...

You will be expelled.

To be forewarned, is to be forearmed.

Now move!

Now move!

My friend move!

We will take you to rehab.

You think I'm not playing.

Nitwits.

Your guys good guys, they didn’t call names.

Let me tell you guys something.

Because they didn’t call names,

doesn't mean I don't know those involved.

I know you all.

So if you know you're among those involved,

see me for protection.

Else I will fish you out myself,

and sell you out.

See me for your protection.

You see why I said they’re

not supposed to be your friends?

Are you sure you were not with them?

You would have been there with them.

See,

See, I'm glad you moved classes.

Teekay, can I talk to you outside?

Yes, please.

What's wrong with her?

I'm going back to my seat.

What did I tell you?

Nobody listens to Tayo.

If you don't shut up and mind your business!

Nonsense.

I will slap you.

Ugly boy.

Thank you.

For what?

I saw what you did in there.

So are you fully accepting that

you're a damsel in distress?

Yes.

Well, I'm glad I get to save you this time.

I guess we are even now.

I guess we are.

Yeah.

So, how do you feel about your friends?

Sad but they are not my friends,

Emeka and Pere are.

I bet they were there but they were not caught.

Yeah

And those ones aren't mentioning names.

That's the code.

Yeah.

Have you smoked before?

I plead the fifth.

That obviously answers the question.

Nah, it doesn't.

But we both know the answer.

We have to-

No.

Settle down.

Settle.

Simi clean the board.

So we are just

coming out from a very rigorous staff meeting.

I hear you children take drugs now.

No.

If you know you do drugs,

let me see your hands in the air.

Okay.

Here.

Pass it round.

Pass it.

Cigarettes,

alcohol,

cocaine,

Indian hemp,

forget me and remember me pills,

Ice, [Igbo: mkpurumiri]

all these can lead one to an untimely death.

This is what the life of a drug addict,

could possibly look like.

Yes.

That!

That image you are looking at,

that is the life of a drug addict.

That is how it is.

What is drug abuse?

So how was school today?

Uhm..it was okay.

Did anything interesting happen?

They actually caught some boys smoking weed today,

and they suspended all of them.

What!

They literally paraded them through all the classes.

And then we got a long lecture on drug abuse.

It's a good thing they got suspended

I know right.

Hi babe.

Hey baby.

Some boys were caught smoking weed in Amanda's class.

Oh!

They got suspended.

Oh, that's really good then.

You don't seem bothered?

For what?

Amanda.

I tell you,

drugs were found in her school,

and all you can say is oh.

But you said they where suspended, right?

And you think the boys are the only ones

doing drugs in that school?

Baby,

young people do stupid things all the time.

But that doesn't mean that they are Pablo Escobar.

I can't believe you're not taking this seriously.

What you want me to do now?

Sue the school?

She has no business being in that school,

enough of the punishment.

She has learnt her lessons.

Babe Amanda is fine.

She's not doing drugs or any of those stuff.

Better safe than sorry.

Do you think kids at Berkley Academy,

are not doing drugs or at least attempting to do it?

I can’t with you.

So guys, I'm going to act like someone today.

Let’s see who gets it right.

‘Don't touch me, I will sue you’

‘This is physical abuse’.

Amanda.

I'm going to mimic somebody's else.

Let's see who get this.

‘You better respect yourself’

Nengi.

Please I can’t stress myself.

I see that you students cannot use your free time,

to have some introspective moments,

or seek out some intellectual pursuits.

You prefer gratuitous or redundant chit-chat.

Huh?

Jesus Christ.

Pick that.

You should know.

Cleanliness is next to godliness.

Yes ma.

You are not animals.

You shouldn’t domicile in a filthy environment.

Do you understand?

Yes ma.

Amanda, are you coming to school to come and

exhibit yourself or to study?

This is for lip moisturizing.

It has nothing to do with exhibiting one’s self.

It is not allowed in this school.

This is a prescription for my dermatologist.

I suffer from extreme lip dryness.

Are you lying to me?

Would you like to call my mom to confirm?

As a matter of fact,

I will.

Call her number.

091-234...

Hold on.

Call it again.

091-234...

780.

Hello, good morning ma'am

This is Mrs. Rose,

Amanda's English teacher from Prince Memorial High.

Yes.

Does your daughter have any ailments,

bordering extreme lip dryness?

Oh, okay.

They'll be all for now.

Sorry about that.

You can reapply your medication.

Apology accepted.

But next time, maybe ask before jumping into a conclusion.

And what's that for?

Today.

We'll be discussing,

Argumentative essay.

Repeat after me.

Argumentative essay.

Hey.

Hey.

You left English class in a hurry.

Yeah, like...

I had to get to this class and

besides I heard it’s a combined class so I had to get here early.

I'm sorry about the teacher.

Nah it’s not your fault.

I just do not understand why teachers are extremely hostile

and aggressive in this school.

Well, I guess it’s their way of trying to discipline us.

There are much better ways to discipline a child.

Like in your former school?

Yes like in my former school,

nobody hit kids no matter what,

nobody hit kids the way they do over here.

This is Nigeria.

This is Africa, you’re not in Yankee.

So we should eat shit because we’re in Africa?

No, I'm just saying we have to be realistic to a certain extent.

Are you for real?

My dad has never hit me before.

And how did that work out for you?

You're here.

Exactly my point,

like there are different ways to discipline a child.

Are you trying to say you are in support of abusing people?

No.

I'm just trying to make you see their point of view.

Because I personally don't like being flogged.

I feel like you're judging me right now.

No, I'm not.

You are.

Look, you don't know me and you-

- That's not what I'm trying to say.

I was just-

Even if parents are allowed to flog their children,

total strangers should not be allowed to flog

other people's kids.

It’s totally wrong.

Hi.

Let’s sit together.

Is your note up to date?

I'm not sure.

Hi.

Hi.

I am Edache.

Amanda.

You are the new girl right?

I am?

You are the one shaking things up.

You know, you're becoming a legend here.

Am I?

Yeah.

Wow.

I'm glad I could shake things up.

You live up to the expectation you know.
