The Golden Eaglets won against Germany with a 2-0 victory!
My people, I said you don't know the value of money.
Good morning.
Welcome, my good child. Welcome!
Including this one, put them together.
The ones on the floor?
Pull it well, pull it.
Dust it off well.
Can you see this one? Shake off all the dust off it.
Then fold it.
-Mommy. -Fold it and align the edges.
Tolani!
What is wrong? Tell me.
My darling, what is wrong?
Eh? What is wrong with you?
You're not talking? Come on.
Ah. You didn't tell me you were coming.
You used to write me letters, I collected them.
-Mother, it's not my fault. -All this time, nothing? That's not nice.
You didn't even consider that I'd be missing you. Eh?
Tolani, come here, my dear.
Look at how frail you are. What has--
Let me get you water.
My darling.
Take it.
Well done. Eh!
Look at how thin you are! What is wrong?
Haven't you been eating?
Is it that you lack food? Or is it money?
My God.
Tolani, look me in the eyes.
What is wrong with you, why are you so thin?
What is wrong?
Mommy.
-I have suffered. -Ah!
My God.
I have been through so much.
How much for your banana?
Isn't it five kobo?
No, it's too expensive.
So, have you decided what you want to do about Sanwo?
Not yet.
How long have you been in the relationship?
Three years.
Ah…
Don't ask for my advice if you won't take it.
If I'm dating a man,
and in six months he hasn't proposed, hasn't done anything,
I'm gonna date other people.
You can still take me out to parties,
to the club every Friday, and buy me beer.
But you better not wake up Saturday morning and ask me for breakfast.
Six months, maximum.
"War Against Indiscipline."
This is meant to introduce sanity into our lifestyle.
You will be jailed if you throw litter out of a bus.
Alhaji!
Oh, Nepa!
It's okay.
It's okay now.
Mama, the beans are burning.
Reduce it.
You want to be a useless child? You want to kill me?
Do you want to kill me? Ah!
I talk and you ignore me.
Try it next time and see what happens. You'll deal with me!
Go and kneel down over there!
What is the problem? Did I make a mistake giving birth to you?
Your useless father has gambled all his money! I'm the only one working!
I work morning, afternoon, night and you won't let me have any peace!
Ayo, can you see your older siblings?
Don't behave like them!
Don't become like them at all. What is it?
Why do I have to yell every day? Are we the only ones who live here?
-Is this your friend? -Tolani.
Hi Tolani!
-Hi! -Tolani meet…
-What do you want to drink? -Beers.
Sanwo, food is ready.
Thank you.
Who shaved your mustache?
You like it right? It's my new style.
Your barber must not like you.
Her, concerning the matter of…
my dowry.
What about it?
It's been three years since we started dating.
Just last year, you told me to give you some more time.
But, when exactly are you planning to meet my family
so we can make this official?
Let's do the proper thing so you can pay my dowry.
I don't understand why it's taking so long. What's wrong?
I just don't want to end up one of those women who are disappointed by a man.
Why this talk now?
I'm just telling you this because time is running out.
For who?
All right.
Where would we live?
Don't I live in the same Lagos as you, hustling every day?
Do I live in Oshogbo?
Uh… even Rose, she said I should give you six months maximum.
And if you're not ready, maybe I should break up with you.
-You better not listen to her. -Hmm.
She's just jealous.
Jealous of what?
She sees that you're in a steady relationship and she can't take it.
Somebody that can't keep a man, that's who gives you advice?
All right.
What about your uncle?
The one that sends you on errands,
then gives you little or no money afterward.
"Sanwo, let's go."
Why is that? Why?
Go and ask him.
-I should go and ask him? -Mmm.
Is that someone that wishes you well?
Look, Tolani. Leave my uncle out of this. You hear?
I'm sure it's because of his wife.
Mm.
Sure, she's to blame. That's true.
-She's the one. -Mm.
I'm listening.
Tolani.
I know you're getting frustrated.
-This one is different. -I said I don't want to hear it. Ah.
That's fine then.
Are you upset?
All right, what deal?
Tolani, I won't disappoint you. I'm not a bastard.
-I'd like to believe so. -I'm just playing with you.
-Come here. -Leave me alone.
Had I been around, she wouldn't have done it.
I would have calmed her down.
How?
And Salako has been letting her get away with it?
-That's it. -How?
Hakeem too was trying to open his mouth, but Franca was the actual devil.
She was lucky I wasn't there to deal with her.
It's her type that sleeps with useless men like Salako.
Because he is a bastard.
It won't end well for him, the stress he put me through at that bank.
Why does it matter?
Tolani, because women like me and you never get justice in this country.
Only criminals get justice.
Look at him. Can't you see how corrupt he is?
He steals from the bank, from customers and still collects bribes.
Him and that snake Umar.
Umar is a part of it, he's a part too!.
Those bad debt letters you've been typing, you think they'll be repaid?
Salako opens an account for a big man
and Umar gives the big man a loan.
-Hmm. -Big man then gives them both a cut.
But the three of them know the loan will never be repaid.
What you think happens with those dormant accounts?
Salako is using them as his personal accounts.
It's why he's early every morning.
So he can steal from them.
The government ministers steal, even the president steals.
Then you toil and work hard,
but still can't afford to buy meat to put in your lunch in the afternoon.
If I ever see that man again, I will deal with him.
Show me one that can type faster in that bank.
Show me one whose shorthand is better than mine. Show me!
Yes, if I can't ask her for money, who else can I ask?
I don't feel like eating.
Oh, grazie, you speak Italiano?
Ah, I stayed in Italy.
You know, when I was in Italy, I went to their "Vasasi" store.
-Versace. -Ah.
Ah, I'm telling you, I stayed in Italy.
All right.
-Morning. -Aunty.
Morning sister Vio.
Why are you here?
I need to talk to you.
-Okay, ma. -I'll be right back.
-Pronto. -No problem.
Rose, what is it?
I want to borrow some money.
-I don't have money. -How?
I don't have money.
Why didn't you ask Tolani?
Why would I ask her? Is she my relative?
Anyway, I don't have money.
I've come all this way!
-You should've called. -What phone am I going to use?
-Aren't there call centers in your area? -There are no working lines in my area.
Rose, I don't have money.
I don't have. Can you hear me?
Therefore, I don't have money to give you.
But you have money to live in Keffi and to rent a shop in Onikan?
What is the matter with you?
I don't have money to lend you.
give you a little bit, you know, something to get you by.
Sisi said we should help each other. That's what she said.
Sisi can say whatever she wants. That's small town talk. Let me tell you.
Sisi had so many children.
In fact, too many and she can't afford them.
If it wasn't for my father, I wouldn't have gone to Italy.
I wouldn't have met Fedele. I wouldn't have had my child.
In fact, I wouldn't be sitting here today.
Vio, you'll never see me insulting Sisi.
Dad paid for my secretarial studies, if you don't know.
Don't insult my father, don't try it. Don't even go there.
The only thing is that his salary as a teacher
didn't afford him any luxuries. Just little things--
Ah, Violet you have-- you have a bad mouth!
You talk nonsense.
-And yours? -Sisi said it! You have a bad mouth.
And yours isn't uncouth? Look at you, hypocrite. Am I your senior?
Don't be rude to me.
But really, weren't we brought up together?
Didn't we drink garri and water together?
Hmm? Rose, I don't have money. Am I clear?
Oh, so now you've become a big woman in Lagos.
No problem. Everybody has their time.
I don't have money.
Chukwuebuka!
Ma!
Bring what I asked you to bring for me.
-Mama Chidi. -Please go and bring the second one.
-Mrs. Durojaye. -How are you?
I admire your car.
It takes you out and brings you back.
Ah! Mama Chidi, I struggled.
My sister, maybe one day Papa Chidi too will be able to buy one.
-Really? -Yes. Imported.
whether it's used or an imported car.
As long as it's from overseas, it's okay.
Because anything after seven, that's another problem.
That is a good thing.
I'm fine, how are your children?
We thank God. We're planning to cook beans today.
How is Papa Chidi?
He's fine, thanks to God. Welcome, eh.
Well done.
Rubbish.
An extremely useless individual.
Worthless and no use to anyone.
-Okay, Mama Chidi. -Hm?
Let me go and remove my drawers, I'm sweating.
Chukwuebuka!
Not at all, Vio is wicked. Sisi told me already.
She said if Vio saw her injured on the road,
she'd leave her to die.
What? What are you saying?
Sisi has never gotten even one single kobo from Vio since she came back from Italy.
For real?
Not even one!
She only knows how to shout "mamma mia," when she has customers.
Violet.
Doesn't want anyone to know we're sisters.
She doesn't understand any Italian! She doesn't, she's just pretending.
And she met Fedele when she was cleaning his house!
Please, I'm starting to have a headache.
This world…
I'm thinking maybe I should even be grateful.
That Mrs., uh…
Durojaye…
Whatever she calls herself. Her. One day she'll kill one of her children.
When I passed her just now,
she was giving me the stink eye, like I stole her husband.
No wonder the man divorced her.
Who wants to wake up to such an angry face every day?
One day she'll kill one of her children.
Is there any food?
Umar. That is it, see me later in my office.
Mr. Salako has requested that you be transferred.
What's her name again?
I think you're the… suitable person for that office.
And you're a Yoruba girl?
Makoku interior, I guess.
Did you say Egba?
Was he a drummer? Oh.
He's passed on. What a pity. May God grant him heavenly rest.
Your diction! Don't you understand English?
Like she packed a lot of juju there.
-Juju? -Yes, juju. Hmm.
Like you don't know what juju is.
You don't know my job, you don't know what my job entails.
You don't know anything.
No. Tolani, no.
Look, when a customer comes in or they call on the phone,
the way you interact with them
should make them relaxed and very comfortable.
I did all this there.
So tell him you didn't want the job.
This man knows what he's doing.
He's doing it because he knows we live together.
He wants me to come and beg him.
Over my dead body. I'll never go beg him.
That man? He's worse than an illiterate.
He farts. He farts a lot.
You'll get used to it.
And you'll get used to it when he starts touching you.
-Do you ask? -This is my only wife in Lagos.
So tell me, where are you guys rambling to today?
We want to buy shoes, but your shoes are always too expensive…
Is that so!
So that's why you never patronize me. No problem.
This is my friend, I'm taking him to a boutique.
You know he doesn't shop around here. We need to upgrade.
-Hello. -Eh, O to the C! OC Money!
You see these two, they're my favorite customers in Lagos.
Now see this one, he's an original fly guy!
-Of America? -Is there another one?
Really? Okay then.
-This one is your size. -Buy these for me.
You mean this?
Ah, Johnny, you haven't changed, you're still stingy.
Please leave my shoes.
-How much? -Five naira, that seven.
-How much? -I'll pay two naira 50 kobo.
Seven naira.
I'm paying two naira fifty kobo.
-Did you tell her five? -It's seven.
It's seven naira.
-Five. -Five for the two of them.
No. Okay, you pay six naira.
-We don't have that. Two naira fifty kobo. -No.
-Hey Johnny! -Yes?
Okay! Put it in a bag.
My name is Rose.
What are you doing with his kind, he doesn't like spending money.
Can I come visit you?
All right, you should give me your address.
-My address? -Yes.
-So, we'll see. -Yeah.
He's nice.
-Who? -Uh-uh.
Beer.
What is it?
No, I only drink beer.
I'll drink whatever you give me.
Ah, you should've seen OC's house, there's no gadget he doesn't have.
And he's as generous as my father.
Can you imagine?
When I was there, what's his name… Johnny came by.
He started asking me questions when OC went to the kitchen.
-Okay, so feel free okay? -Okay.
How is it your business?
I just ignored him. Nonsense.
He claims he is into import and export
and yet he never bought me even a drink when we were dating.
But now he wants to monitor me, asking silly questions. Please.
And so? Hasn't it been long enough since we dated?
He doesn't own me, I can do anything I want.
He probably has many girlfriends. You know how he is.
Please, let me drink my wine.
OC said I should stop drinking beer.
Uh. Please, uh, get me that file.
OC it was a struggle coming here today.
I really struggled.
you'll have to start giving me taxi money.
And I mean the proper taxis, not those rickety ones.
That's no problem, you know.
Thank you. Because I have no money left.
I don't even have money for rent.
From trekking now.
Who has time to wear high heels everywhere?
If you want to buy, no problem.
Buy, I won't say no. As long as it's free.
Really? You can have any you want.
Just tired. Today I did a lot of shopping.
I shopped.
Ah, I'm not… I'm not looking for a job.
I don't want to work again.
OC said I shouldn't work, that he'll take care of me.
He even asked me to move in with him.
But I told him I wasn't ready.
He said I'm the kind of woman he would like to marry.
It's your problem.
Silly girl.
Why are you so upset about it?
You know what baffles me the most about this whole thing,
it's that it's been just three weeks since they started dating.
and he's already talking about marriage.
Look, Tolani, why don't you stop focusing on those people's business.
She doesn't work, she doesn't do anything.
And she always eating my food.
Did she just start eating your food today?
She didn't just start eating my food today,
but what if she moves out and no longer paying the rent?
What would I do? Where would I go?
Okay. Whenever I ask her where he lives,
she say it's in Ikeja, it's in Along, or something else.
She has never once told me where he lives.
She's never told me! What is Rose hiding?
-What exactly is she hiding? -Why don't you just ask her?
I should ask her? Have you not heard anything I've been saying?
All this, I'm tired.
I'm tired of all this stress.
That reminds me, the business you wanted to do,
is your uncle giving you money for it?
No.
I don't want him in my business at all.
Why?
When I establish this business and it starts going well, bringing in money,
it'll mean I'm set and can be on my own.
Ah, that's good but,
where will you get money?
What do you think I've been running around for?
But, it would be too late.
That would take too long.
I suggest I give you what little I have left of my savings,
so you can add it to the money you have. Eh?
And then you can start from there.
Tolani, I didn't come here to beg for money.
I know, Sanwo, I know you didn't come here to beg for money,
but it'll take too long.
Too long before you have enough.
Let me help you out.
What is happening?
-Ayo! -Yes?
-What are you doing there? -I'm playing.
You're playing? Look, let your mother catch you there,
you'll be in real trouble.
You're playing. Where is Philomena?
I don't know.
You don't know? Doesn't she know how much your mother pays her
to watch over you guys, and you're playing all over the place.
Would you get off that place you're playing?
These children!
What is it? Should I let him hurt himself?
The money you talked about earlier,
uh, I have thought about it.
I'll take whatever amount you have. And I'll pay it back.
Uh-huh.
But, I can't take the money from you,
when you're like this.
I hear you. I'll calm down until you're done.
You can have it.
Can't you knock? See how her mouth is open.
I didn't say. When did I say so?
Get out! Get out.
What's that?
Get the hell out. Keep on walking aimlessly.
Be going!
Where's the file?
-Here's the file, sir. -Let me have it!
Look at her.
Always walking seductively, shaking her butt.
I know what you're doing.
Tolani, this is what I'm saying.
What the world thinks of an individual,
the person might not be that way.
The person might not see themselves in that light.
Let me give you an example.
If a man comes and says,
"Ah, this girl is well mannered, she's virtuous, she's honorable."
Within you, you know it's possible that you're not all those things.
Do you understand?
The point I'm trying to make is this.
If you know you're well-mannered, virtuous, and honorable,
you make sure to protect your reputation.
You won't let life or any man take it away from you.
-Do you understand? -I understand, Mom.
-Are you sure? -I understand.
OC.
What kind of job do you do that you make this much money?
I'm asking because I want to make my own money.
No, I don't.
You should've told me.
I've been suspecting that you were doing something illegal.
But I didn't know what.
I thought you were, um, trading dollars on the black market.
I knew it was something illegal.
Listen, OC.
I can do it.
I'm not afraid.
I can do it.
Listen, when I was growing up, all these stupid old men started touching me,
but I learned how to fight them.
But poverty?
That's a different thing altogether. And I don't want to face it again.
Tolani!
Please, beans for me.
Ayo!
This is the only stick we could find.
Go across the road, there are bamboo sticks there.
I don't want those people to know what is happening in this compound.
Go there, don't let them know what's happening here.
Please help me go and collect a longer stick.
Ayo.
Tolani!
Where is the stick?
It is taking time.
Ayo fell into the septic tank. We're trying to get him out.
That Philomena is wicked.
-Where is she exactly? -She ran away.
If I see her, I'll personally beat her up. Then call the police to arrest her for me.
Ayo.
The stick now! The stick. It's taking a long time.
They're bringing it.
Ayo!
Somebody help me! Somebody help me!
Ayo!
Ayo, why?
-Ayo. -Where is he?
-Ayo. -Which Ayo?
I'm dead! Ayo!
I am dead! Help me bring him out!
-Don't let me lose my child, please! -Ah! Mama Ayo!
Please!
-Mama Ayo! -Help me carry him!
Mama Chidi!
Ayo.
Take her away from here now. Help me bring him out!
Sorry for your loss.
-May we not have any more loss. -So sorry.
Mother, They said I should do my hair before school tomorrow.
God will comfort you.
Mother, why are you not talking?
Don't cry again.
Take heart. Sorry for your loss.
Stop crying. God will look… God will be with you both.
Don't start crying again.
See that boy.
What is he doing there?
-What is he doing there? -Let's go find out.
What are you doing here at this time of the day?
It's so late.
-Isn't your mother looking for you? -Where did you come from?
-Get up. -Get up and go home!
What are you all doing there? Move out the way. Is that not Ayo?
I said move out of the way! Or are you deaf?
Get away! Leave him alone.
Ayo.
What are you doing over there?
Your mother has been looking for you all over the place.
All right. Let's go home.
She'll beat me.
Your mother won't beat you. Don't worry, let's go home.
Come on.
-My life! -Ayo!
Have mercy on me. Please!
-It's okay. -Help me get him, Mama Chidi.
God will help.
-Thank you God! -Ayo!
Where did you find him?!
God, I thank you sir.
Congratulations on the good luck!
-Where did you find him? -Ask him yourself.
-Ayo! -Thank you, God!
Thank you, God! Neighbors, thank you.
Ayo.
Take it.
Wait a minute.
What kind of business is this exactly?
Fine. Do you remember my friend, Moshood?
Who?
Have you forgotten Moshood?
That man that drives a Volkswagen Beetle around?
That's him. You know he knows a lot of soldiers.
He imports dogs for them to protect their homes.
Dogs like Dobermans, Alsatian, Rottweiler.
Imported dogs, not all those local mongrels.
It's a very profitable venture. I've done my research.
In fact, we should triple the initial investment.
I can assure you. I've done my research.
That's good. Give me my money.
I took my savings from all the hard work I've been doing since the year started,
and I gave it to you
and you're talking to me about Moshood and dogs?
I thought you had a real business partner.
Or a good business plan.
Give me my money back. Thank you.
So, you don't even trust me.
After I told you I had done all my research.
Okay. It's not like I wanted your money before.
I'm not starving. Take.
All right, have some patience. Don't be angry.
I'm just being cautious.
This is all my life savings.
I'm just scared. Don't be angry.
All right, take.
Take.
Make sure you give me my profit.
Okay, continue eating. Eat your food.
Eat. You have too much pride.
Stop being insolent. I'm not going anywhere.
We must finish this discussion.
Finish what? What gives you the right to come here and question me?
Really?
-My friend, get out. -What is going on here?
Tell him to get out.
I'll go. But not until I say my peace.
Say what? Leave!
Is that so? Your friend? She's not okay. She bit me!
So you don't want to leave?
You don't want to leave?
-You don't want to leave? -Ah, look, don't mind her.
-I only just told her to be careful of OC. -Why?
They had a big fight! It was explosive!
You should've heard the things he said.
Okay, you don't want to leave? Stay there! Stay there like a soldier.
You and I will have it out. Stay. Wait.
-I'm surprised. -You should've heard the things OC said.
You would be shocked.
All right, let's put it this way.
A man cannot respect you, if he insults you like that.
What! I can't believe this is happening, you know.
I must be dreaming, you know.
-How dare you talk back, you hungry whore! -No, I-- What…
You hungry whore!
-Did you hear what he called me? -She's not good in bed.
I've slept with better men than you!
-Go back to Atlanta! -You can't be compared to my girl Aliya.
-What are you doing here? -You know!
Babe, talk to your friend.
I only met OC four years ago and since that time,
he's been living in the United States.
I don't even know what he does there.
-I'm surprised at you Johnny. -Me? Is that so? She was my girl!
She's the one that decided to jump ship and date OC.
You won't leave!
You should stay so I can stab you!
Nobody cares about Rose. Every man just wants to use Rose.
How many things has Johnny ever bought for me?
Coming here asking me questions, monitoring my movement.
It's a mistake to be with that man.
Don't tell me that. I know what I'm doing.
A mistake is somebody that walks
thinking the world would change because of them.
So if you give me problems, I will give you problems back!
I will give you problems back.
Go, walk away and don't hear what I'm saying.
Look at the mess.
It's true that I don't have anybody in Lagos to help me.
But please, if I'm going to work for you, don't insult me like that again.
I'm begging you.
Oh. Stop being deceptive. You fell down?
And you did not somersault? You didn't somersault like a monkey?
Okay, show me.
Show me.
You're telling a lie. It's a lie. You're lying.
This accident didn't happen today. This didn't happen today.
Really?
I'm going to make you so miserable
until you'll realize who is the boss, you worthless thing.
Regarding Tolani Ajao.
Miss Tolani Ajao.
Didn't you go to school?
And when you're asked you're quick to say you understand English.
But you don't know how to spell a simple word.
Recalcitrant.
Make sure you type the memo for me.
Wait a minute.
And you are just a commoner. An ordinary person.
If you don't know. Write your response for records purposes.
Get out of my sight. I'll make sure your job is history.
I'm going to frustrate you. You worthless thing.
I didn't even see Tolani standing there.
-Ah, Tolani. How are you? Well done. -Good afternoon. Yes, ma.
-Listen, I've gotten a new job. -Thank God.
It's not easy.
Bills just keep piling up and it's all on me.
Their father doesn't even try to help out at all.
He has gambled away all his money.
And the septic tank fiasco, I had to pay the landlord to fix it.
When there's too much to worry about, the mind is never at peace.
I'm tired.
Sorry, ma. You just have to take it easy. Take it easy.
-Bye, ma. -Thank you. These problems are too much.
How was work?
Only her. Septic tank issue, nurses strike.
I feel sorry for her.
Banga.
OC likes it.
No, I bought it.
I'm going to enjoy the fan.
The woman…
This is very delicious.
Mm, it's sweeter than the previous ones I have made.
This type of soup will cleanse your stomach of all the rubbish in it.
At least. But I won't sweat when I'm there.
The heat won't kill me in there.
Ah, this is delicious.
How is Sanwo?
Your man travels a lot. Mmm. He travels a lot.
How is work?
-Fine. -Hm, and Salako?
Is it that bad?
Didn't I tell you? I told you right?
Archibong reports to Salako, so she can't challenge him.
That's why I never bothered reporting.
I'm sure she's thrown your report away without reading it.
I've told you already.
And nothing will change until you and I change it.
OC, uh…
OC.
He smuggles drugs into America.
Don't shout. Calm down, Just listen. That's how he made his money.
Are you listening?
No, he doesn't do it himself.
He uses girls like me and you. Do you understand?
We'll swallow the drugs, and he'll arrange the travel plans for us to go overseas.
I'm not ashamed.
You know what shames me? Poverty.
And it should shame you too.
I am tired of being poor. I am tired.
You stay in a compound where everywhere smells of shit.
You get on a bus and everyone on it smells of… I don't know.
Then you go to the office, and there's a stinking useless man
who touches you everywhere.
No. I am tired and I'm done. I'm done.
Rose, Salako or OC?
He didn't force me.
I made up my mind by myself, he didn't force me.
You're poor, my sister. You're very poor.
You're poor. All of us are poor, you're just too proud to admit it.
Wait.
Do you think that I, Rose, that I want to die?
They're very careless, that's why they're dying.
Tolani, I've done my research. I've done all the research. You won't die.
You wrap the drugs well. Tight.
Then you make sure you don't eat or drink. People do it every day.
-Come and go back to where you came from. -I wasn't supposed to tell you.
But if you change your mind, you know where to find me.
Just don't come back. Mischief maker.
Good afternoon, ma.
-Good afternoon. -I'm looking for Sanwo.
His room is there.
-There? -Yes.
Thank you, ma.
Sanwo!
Tolani.
Really? I didn't know you were back.
-Tolani. -What is happening?
I don't want that woman to know I'm home.
What is wrong? What happened?
She'll start asking what I went to do in the north.
When did you get back?
Two days ago.
Ah! Sanwo. And you didn't call me.
I don't have a phone to use.
When has that ever stopped you? Or are you hiding from me?
Why would I be hiding from you?
I hear you. So, you were staying at Moshood?
Where else would I have stayed?
Or was it at Miriam's or Miriamu?
Tolani, what kind of talk is that?
Okay, I hear you. Where is my money?
What happened?
Why do you look like that? Where's my money?
Why are you shaking? Where is my money? What is wrong?
-Um, Tolani. -Somebody help me.
-Wait. Be patient. -Sanwo. I'm in trouble.
Let me explain it to you.
-I should be patient? -I'll explain it.
-Fine. I'm listening. -Let me explain.
Explain. Where is my money, Sanwo?
-I can't pay you your money. -Hey!
Sanwo.
Tolani.
-I lost the money. -You lost the money.
Tolani, when Moshood and I got to the place,
they brought out the dog cages. But there were no dogs in them.
-Where were the dogs? -I wanted to run after the man,
but Moshood said we didn't have the proper documentation so…
Tolani, please. Please, don't be angry.
I remember you warned me. Tolani, I was duped.
You were duped? Of course, you were duped.
If you had used the eyes in your head
then you would've realized that Moshood and that man
worked together to scam you.
And you're standing here telling me that they…
-Give me my money! -Tolani.
Give me my money! Sanwo!
Tolani. Tolani, please.
I'm using God as my witness, I'll pay you back your money.
God as your witness?
I use God as my witness that today is the last time you see me.
Tolani, please. Tolani. Wait.
Don't let her-- Don't let her hear. Tolani, please. Tolani.
Tolani, I'll return your money to you. Eh?
Tolani. Please now. Be patient. Don't let her…
That's not my business. You shouldn't have lost my money.
Tolani!
I said come here!
Really? It's okay.
Don't look at yourself as the better person.
And don't look down on others.
Be content with what you have.
Do you understand? No condition is permanent.
The future is ever-changing.
I want you to remember. Do you understand?
Yes, Father. I have heard.
Well done.
-I'll put it in black and white. -Mr. Salako…
You worthless thing.
Ignatius didn't bring it to my attention.
Customer, you have been letting your scalp get too dry.
You didn't tell her?
Have you come to do your hair?
Can you talk to her?
Because it seems like she's becoming senseless.
I don't have time for her nonsense.
What is wrong with you?
See how rough your hair is.
Very untidy, everything looks unkempt.
You know what, one of my girls will wash and set it for you.
So, if I see Rose before you, what should I tell her?
-Really? -Yes.
Are you sure you don't need… You should buy some wigs.
-Get some wigs? -I'm fine.
You're an attractive girl, don't spoil your beauty.
Where are we going even?
To London.
Don't start again.
Have you ever seen a successful woman who's afraid?
As you get in the bus on your way to work, you know you can just die.
You know that, right?
I don't know.
My thing is booze. Every man has his vice.
Ah, how?
How is that our business? It's all these rich people that do it.
They do it so they can feel cool.
I wonder if they'll still feel cool
if they know it came out of a African woman's anus.
Or when the drugs hook them.
That's the price. It messes with your head.
Yes, but even painkillers can kill you if you take enough.
So it's the same thing.
Huh? To do what?
In Makoku?
From Lagos? You're not serious.
Drink plenty of water, then swallow it.
Do it.
Drink the water.
Swallow it. Swallow it slowly.
Wait.
Sorry! Okay, drink water. Sorry.
You have to keep practicing.
So you can perfect it. Do you hear me?
You'll rest a little, then we'll practice some more.
You have to keep trying. Okay?
You have to keep trying.
Look, It was hard for me too. It was this hard.
But as I practiced and practiced before I got it. Then I perfected it.
OC won't allow it, he won't allow it.
He says other methods are too risky.
Okay, let's start with this small one.
It was hard for me too.
You think I'm doing this because of you?
It's not because of you, for myself.
I've heard. But don't feel like I'm doing this because of you.
OC said there's no other way.
Good morning, Father.
Good morning. Did you sleep well?
Yes, Father.
What are you dressed up for?
We're going to church.
You're going to church?
You've started following them to church?
Yes.
That's fine. Let me just make one thing clear to you.
I don't want you to tell your mother, do you understand?
Yes, Father.
If you have any problems,
you should pray to Orunmila.
Orunmila is the spirit of wisdom.
All the deities that God created, were created to help us.
You see, Sango and Ogun,
they are deities who help give all men strength and courage.
And you see Yemoja, ah, she's a compassionate woman.
Then you see the deity called Osun.
She's the deity for children.
She's the deity for plentiful children. Anybody that's infertile, prays to Osun.
Keep it in mind, I don't want you to forget.
Why? Look, me, I'm going home.
Did you repent or what is it?
Over my mother's dead body.
Never would I hide drugs inside my stomach,
I cannot do it.
Never.
It seems like this poverty is making you crazy.
See how you're behaving like you're possessed.
For weeks now, you've been back and forth. What is it?
Yet you're backing out of the plan we both made.
Do you know what that bastard called me?
And you think that idiot
would write us a reference letter to look for another job?
-What is this? -Salako.
Salako!
-Salako! -What is wrong with you?
How many times did I call you? You have offended my creator,
and you've also offended my dead father's creator.
The gods are now ready to give you the punishment you deserve.
The gods are ready to wreak havoc in your life.
What is wrong with this girl, for God's sake?
Your first male son will run mad.
-You are in trouble! -Your female child will get raped.
She will get pregnant too.
-You're unwell. -She'll give birth to a bastard.
As for the remaining children you have,
any one of them that is still in school won't finish.
And if they have finished, they will become aimless.
-Abomination! -So shall it be.
In the name of Jesus it won't-- Jesus!
Witch! Spirit child!
Hey! Somebody help me, she'll kill me. Where are my glasses?
Unfortunate person. Witch!
Morning.
Is it?
Tell her I'll see her tomorrow. Um, thank you, Miss Ajao.
Ah-ah! Tolani! I can't believe this is you.
You're worse than FIFA fans.
True. It's good. He's overbearing.
Same people that are behind it.
I'll report you too.
After all, you were a part of it before you pulled out.
-I'm no longer scared. -Rose.
At least I'm not going to America, I'm going to England.
There you just plead guilty.
They'll put you in prison and give you a small sentence.
You serve your time, the end.
But in America, ah…
They throw you in a cell, where they can sexually harass you.
God forbid.
Ah. They are worse than Africans.
Eh! Don't go near those ones.
They'll just behead you. They're very strict.
I'm shocked. This is serious.
My sister, please forgive me for what I did the other day.
You know, my life.
The things I've seen.
Just makes me behave irrationally sometimes.
So, I'm sorry.
-Please rest well. -I will.
Don't overwork yourself and forget to take care of yourself.
As you can see…
Here they go again. Passing the ball.
Yes, he moved it to Joseph Babatunde.
Oh, my goodness. Yes! Nearly! Going closer!
And I warned you, Rose.
I warned you.
It took death for you to open up, Tolani.
Eh? All by yourself.
Facing all these difficulties.
You should've come home.
Are you scared of your home? Do you have another mother?
Mommy…
You've taught me, and you made sure I can stand on my own.
Not in this kind of situation.
Not when you're suffering, not when you're hungry.
Look, right now, I'll boil some herbs for you.
For you bathe with and drink. Yes.
-Herbs? -Yes, herbs.
Can you see all that hollowness in your neck? It will fill up.
Let me quickly go make it. Go in and change.
I hear you.
May I never be unfortunate.
-Good morning, ma. -My dear.
Happy selling.
May you make sales.
-You too. -Thanks!
-Good morning, ma. -Good morning.
Tolani!
-Tolani. -Ma?
You have a visitor.
Who is it?
Sanwo.
How'd you know I was here?
I'm going to the market.
When I get back, we'll finish our talk.
-Bye, ma. -Bye, ma.
Bye, my dear.
Have a seat.
You're surprised to see me, right?
Will you drink some water?
I will.
-Here. -Thank you.
Help me give thanks.
For what?
I found a job.
Where?
Consultancy firm.
What would you be doing there?
I'm in the accounting department.
At least you'll move out of that house.
Tolani, what happened?
I called your office.
Godwin said Salako sacked you for misconduct.
When I pressed him further,
he said Mrs. Archibong queried Salako and suspended him.
That suspension is how he'll lose his job.
May God let her read what I wrote in my report.
She'll see that Rose and I were not crazy.
He doesn't know who he's dealing with. He doesn't know your spirit.
What are you going to do now?
I don't know yet. I don't know.
This is the money you loaned me.
Take it.
I'll give you more before the end of the month.
For the suffering you went through.
This is enough.
You tried.
It's not up to you to decide.
Thank you.
You did everything you could to try and drive me away.
-It's not like that. -It's not like that? How is it then?
Can you not remember all the rubbish you did?
-You're the one who did rubbish. -Me, doing rubbish?
Stop lying.
Tolani.
You know only rich people get married before they're 40.
I'm not important? Money is more important than me.
Don't say that.
After all the trouble you caused me. You think I'll let you go that easily?
That reminds me. I forgot to ask you, where's Rose?
Good afternoon.
Rose.
Mama Chidi said she wasn't home.
Rose has gone home.
That's good. We all need rest.
That reminds me, Sanwo, please,
help me give my landlord this one and give Violet this one.
And you know my furniture?
I want you to send it to me when you get to Lagos.
Or maybe you should help me sell them and send the money.
Tolani. Say it one at a time.
All right, don't be upset. I'll write it all down.
But can I trust you to follow through?
-I've told you before, I'm not a bastard. -Alright, I've hear you. Don't be angry.
-Sorry. -No worries, sir.
