student of the Nigeria Institute Of Journalism (NIJ) Ogba, Lagos State is allegedly being punished for reporting Mavin’s Star, Korede Bello’s absence in school. Damilare who leaked out the story to the media was reportedly marked down in the last semester examinations with very low scores in virtually all the courses, while Koredo had very high grades.
According to reports, the Mavin Mega Super-Star, Korede Bello with the Godwin hit song cleared all his examination results with good grades while the student-journalist, Famuyiwa Damilare had two carry-overs and low grades in eight other courses offered last semester which ended February this year.
Korede Bello  reportedly cleared all his results with the help of some corrupt members of the school’s management who manipulated the system to allow him write his papers after being absent in school for over half of the semester, while Damilare who course mates described as a brilliant student with no record of carry over or low grades since he gained admission into NIJ, is marked down with very low grades.

According to reports, Damilare had earlier been promised to face worse scenario of academic hiccups all through his stay in the institute.
