When Vice Becomes a Virtue Pascal Atem

It is the incredible story of two brothers, Ngueme and Fey descendants of the Mona family from the kingdom of Nkite, one of the small monarchies within the republic of Kounta. Fey was a rather greedy, indifferent, and dishonest man poised to succeed at all costs. He would use whatever unscrupulous means to achieve his goals in life in the shortest possible time. Meanwhile, Ngueme on the other hand loved school and worked diligently to reach his goals. Fey had become extremely wealthy by unsavory means. Of all the members of the Mona family, Ngueme was the only one who questioned, in a rational way, the origin of the wealth of his younger brother, and this led to the wrath of his parents and other family members upon him. He was slammed as being jealous and embittered. Even though Fey had dropped out of school early, he still managed somehow to obtain a doctorate from a virtual university during a trip abroad. Ngueme, meanwhile, had succeeded in obtaining a doctorate in biology from a local University and was a bonafide lecturer at the University of Katika. What was despicable on the surface was the fact that all the young people called Fey, Doctor Fey, while they were very comfortable calling the eminent professor "Tonton Ngueme". How ironic?
