A Nigerian screenwriter, Mfoniso Isong, has revealed why he denied a student his well deserved ‘A’ in an examination.
Taking to his Facebook page, Mfoniso Isong, revealed that he denied the student his ‘A’ because he wanted him to sit up, and not go around bragging about how brilliant he is. See what he wrote below;
“Give am 70 na, a subtle, but still voice told me”
It was my good side, but i just decided to ignore it
Early last year, a lecturer friend asked me to help him mark some exam scripts
I jumped in and did exactly what was on my mind
So, there is this particular student that had 70, but I decided to give him 69
I felt happy and fulfilled. I mean, me think that if i give this dude 70, he will go and testify in church about how he prayed fervently and all of that. He will go on and brag how brilliant he has always been
See, I’m not that wicked, I just like people sitting up
