Kennedy
At 31, Kennedy is more than just an Ascending Scholars School teacher—he's a man grappling with the weight of his world. Born in Kogi to a modest, lower-income family, his childhood was shaped by resilience. The eldest of four siblings, he pursued education with determination, earning a Bachelor’s degree and an NCE, though the odds were often stacked against him.
Now sharing a two-bedroom apartment with friends, Kennedy dreams of a simple life. His deepest wish? To afford proper care for his ailing mother and finally pay off her mounting hospital bills. Beneath his pleasant looks, deep voice, and average build lies a man wrestling with inner turmoil.
Kennedy is fiercely loyal, compassionate, and protective of his circle. But these positive traits come with their shadows—his confident façade masks a storm of anxiety, worsened by a devastating breakup that has left him cynical about love.
Life dealt Kennedy its hardest blow when his best friend, Gizo, was taken from him. The loss ignited a dangerous fire within him, leading him down a path of revenge. With Nigeria’s harsh realities as his backdrop, Kennedy takes matters into his own hands, lashing out at a system that failed him. His once-clear mission becomes muddied as personal grievances take centre stage.
But Kennedy’s story is one of redemption. When his actions spiral out of control, he finds himself questioning his choices. Is revenge worth the cost of his soul? In a climactic moment of self-reflection, Kennedy embraces the truth that two wrongs don’t make a right. In surrendering to the authorities, he seeks not just justice but redemption—for himself, for Gizo, and for a life that could still hold hope.
Kennedy is a man caught between the man he was raised to be and the man circumstances have made him. His journey is a testament to the enduring struggle for morality in a world that often demands otherwise.
