The writer speaks of the Valley as a religion, for which he is a missionary. The story is a tale of those saved and those lost; as if Boakye is a miserable, lawless wretch who could be saved if only he would join the cult. Save the children! Their genius would surely be rewarded if only they came to the Valley! Then they could quit their life of illegal, mental prostitution and create scientifically addictive web games for us to distract the masses, sell their personal details and make our fortunes! Look how much better we are! Please. The only thing chilling is that I can't read about a smart kid in Lagos without feeling like I'm being sold a religion. Seems to me that Boakye is doing what all smart people do and finding his own path in life. If he has done anything actually harmful, the writer has only alluded to it.
