After Form Four, a student wanted to join journalism. But his father, a religious leader, would hear none of it. To him, journalism was a career of crooks and there was no way his son would train to be one. He secured him a place at a medical college.

Reluctantly, the young man joined. He excelled and kept to the good side of college regulations. He did not even inform his parents about the graduation day. However, he was happy to be out of the medical college.
