Hope there is no problem sir?

Not at all.

You need to follow me to my office now,

I need to talk to you.

Really?

Sir can I..

Because there are some students I want to discipline-

No way.

Follow me now, it’s an official matter.

And it’s very important.

Let's go, follow me. - Alright Sir.

A lot of complaints has been brought to my desk about you.

Complaints?

Sir.

I promise, I have not done anything.

that will warrant any complaint.

Look, students have been complaining,

Severally about your lackadaisical attitude to class.

There is even rumors of extortion.

What!

Extortion?

Sir that's not me.

Sir maybe they’re mistaken,

because I do my work diligently sir.

Look, numerous complaints have been coming.

And as a P.T.A teacher under my employ,

I will be setting up a committee to look into this matter.

There’s no need to set up any committee sir.

Sir it’s my village people, they’re after me sir

Sir I did not do anything.

Sir you know these students, they are very crafty.

And with the way l discipline them,

You know I'm very strict with my teachings and all,

that's why they are witch hunting me sir.

See,

there's no need for this long sermon okay.

Because there are witnesses.

Well,

Uh...the committee will look into the matter and will come up

with the truth about the whole thing.

But...

for now,

we will be placing you on suspension.

Sir.

So,

you can leave.

Sir, don't make me leave yet.

Sir, let me talk to you Sir.

Sir I can explain.

The thing is that..

These people don’t- -Mr. Kalistus.

Please, you can go for now.

We'll get back to you.

Wow.

This is not a nice one.

At all.

Okay, there's one more left.

Who picked me in this class?

Teekay who did you pick?

Amanda.

What?

See, I have a plan,

you and Abu will exchange, then you and I will become partners

You and I are studying together, it will just make it easy.

I've already told her we are partners.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you still angry at me?

That will mean I care and I don't.

Well but you do, it's showing on you face.

What do you want?

We are partners.

Well, we should get to work then.

Uhm..but today won’t be enough,

I think we have to study tomorrow and Sunday.

That means you have to come to my house.

Why not?

So what do you know about capitalism?

Uhm..nothing much,

but I will have something for you when we meet tomorrow.

Okay.

You.

I want you to drop Teekay as partner.

And why would I do that?

Because he's my-

Friend.

Well, he's my friend too,

in fact, he’s the only friend I have in this school.

He's new in this class, and he needs me to catch up.

You're also new.

So...

It’s just a debate.

Beside I trust him, and I'm sure he got it covered.

It is not just a debate.

It's a battle and I will take you down.

You wish.

Yes.

Yes, who are you looking for?

Uhm...I'm here to see Amanda.

Amanda?

Is she expecting you?

Yes.

Really?

I’m coming.

You can come inside.

Okay.

Go to the front door and knock.

They will respond.

Hello.

Good morning ma.

You must be Teekay?

Yes.

Come in.

Please have a seat.

She will be right out.

Alright.

Hi.

I think we should stay at the dining.

Okay.

Your house is really cool.

Thank you.

Your dad must be very strict.

No he's not.

He's just a wannabe.

Here you go.

I ordered some pizza.

Teekay I hope you like pizza?

Yes ma, thank you.

Amanda If you need anything I will be in my room.

Okay, thank you Mom.

You welcome.

Your mom is so cool.

I know, right.

And she's so young, did she like have you at 16?

No, she's actually my stepmom.

Really?

Yeah.

My biological mom died when I was born.

I never met her.

I'm sorry about that.

It's fine.

It's been a long while, I'm over it.

Time never fully heals the wound.

Do you still miss your dad?

Yes.

How do you know?

Well, a little birdie told me.

You asked about me?

Yeah of course, I mean

if I'm going to be friends with you,

I have to know what I'm dealing with.

I mean, you could have asked me,

but okay.

So what else did the little birdie tell you?

That you joined bad Gang

and you are determined to drop out of school.

Well, the former is correct.

But I'm determined to change the latter.

That's great.

Great.

So I heard you have a sister.

Yes.

She goes to our school?

Yes.

Oh!

Cool.

Are your parents not bothered that I'm here?

Why will they be?

I don't know.

Just...

Don't worry forget it.

Good.

So,

Capitalism.

Yeah, Capitalism.

According to the Oxford Dictionary,

is an economy and political system of government,

in which a country’s trade and industry,

are controlled by private owners for profit.

You see, I told you I got it.

Well, that's just the basic definition.

Like, if we are going to win,

we have to do much better than that.

We are going to win?

What do you expect?

So first,

we have to give a definition of capitalism.

then we state the pros and cons,

then we provide our very strong evidence

that capitalism is better than communism.

Then we give a thesis statement,

and present our very strong points

then give a final statement.

Do you understand?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, good.

Now let's get to work.

Good morning sir.

Morning.

Teekay.

I'm Amanda's classmate, we have a project together.

Okay.

Thank you for letting me in to your home, it's beautiful.

You're welcome.

Welcome daddy.

Thank you kiddo.

Well, that was smooth.

Your dad is a little bit intimidating.

Don't worry, he doesn't bite.

Hey babe

Hi babe.

Babe.

There's a boy downstairs.

Babe you need to hit the shower.

Come on babe I just told you, there's a boy downstairs.

I heard you the first time.

So you know about this?

I do.

They are working on a project together.

The boy is from Prince?

Yeah.

I don't like this.

What don't you like?

Him being here babe.

Why?

Because I don't know him.

Babe they're just working on a project not dating.

But he looks like he wants to date her, babe.

I don't know him.

So you didn't consider all of this before you sent her to that school.

Babe that's not the point.

What's the point?

He's a 16 year old boy with hormones babe.

Come on. -Oh Wow.

I'm sure you're aware that there are

hundreds of 16 year old boys

with hormones in her former school.

You're such a classist babe.

No babe, look

I'm just- -You're concerned that

he might be form a poor background.

Well, can you blame me?

You know that poor folks can sometimes be up to no good.

Babe please, just go and take a shower.

Alright.

I will go take a shower but when I'm done,

I'm going back downstairs.

I believe that I have one or two contributions to the project.

Do you want to know what else I heard?

You must have a notebook full of my secrets.

Maybe.

But I heard you own a business.

Yeah, that one is true.

Why?

Well it's simple, not all of us are wealthy.

Yeah, that's true.

So, like you want to be a businessman?

No, I'm already a businessman.

Oh!

But I'd rather be a writer or publish a novel.

But writers are not billionaires.

Are you living on the rock?

Is J.K Rawlings, Stephen King and Chimamanda a joke to you?

Are they billionaires?

And why can't you be both?

Well done it's okay, just pretend that I'm not here.

Alright.

Dad but you are here.

And I said pretend.

Very funny dad.

I thought you said your dad doesn't bite?

Yeah, he barks sometimes.

Thank you.

Please make sure you are pronouncing your words correctly.

No.

Not now.

Speak clearly so I can hear you.

Do you understand?

Yes ma.
