A Country Called Ghana (2024) Movie Script
What is it?
What's happening?
Is something wrong?
Oh for the love of God!
Goons!
Can you find out what's happening here?
My friend!
You're supposed to take us
through this forest to the community.
Look!
- Why did you stop?
- Your language...
Can't you tell I don't understand
the language you're speaking?!
"mente, mente"
What don't you understand?!
Your business is to carry us through this forest,
to the village!
And you're complaining of not understanding us?!
eh?
What is it?!
Yes, it's because of this stream!
Look!
There are a great number of idols living in there!
I should continue this journey?
That's the reason I cannot move any further.
This bloody bike is stuck!
It won't move.
You reckon?
We have to first offer libation.
The stream!
Master,
I think I understand what he means.
What?
He says that before we pass through this river,
uh huh?
We must pour libation.
What?
You call this a river?
It's a bloody puddle!
No!
This is Africa
not Britain.
A country called Ghana.
Give me money and let me go!
Master!
What you see here,
is a river
and "Maame Wata" lives inside!
Is this true?
Yes.
No.
Excuse me,
give me money and let me go.
I've wasted enough time here.
He wants his money.
He wants his...?
Bloody thief!
Give me money and let me go.
Mario please,
just give him his money,
let's get on with it.
I'm dead!
They're going to kill me!
Gun!
What just happened?!
I think I understand what happened.
He saw the gun.
Is it?
So he felt he was going to shoot him.
Bloody nitwit.
He's gone off his bonkers!
Well guys,
let's get on with it.
We're going on foot!
Chop chop!
I have the map.
We can find our way.
Hey master!
Yeah.
Master!
What?
This road
into the forest
very dangerous.
Spirit,
animals,
demons,
anything, ants
they can eat you.
Yes, Master.
I pity you.
Master,
we pity the two of you.
This bush is dangerous.
We are Africans
we can pass through it
with our charms and juju
You know?
Is it?
Very well,
the map says it's this way and
this way is where we are going to go.
I don't give a hoot about your mumbo jumbo spirit
and whatever you call it.
Here is my own charm!
Here is my juju!
Okay?
That's all I believe in.
Now, since your juju is going to save you
then you take the lead,
all right?
No, me?
Oh no, master!
You're the master,
you go first.
Should I ask again?
Move!
Move!
And you likewise!
- Let me be at the back to pro...
- Move!
I see a white man!
I see white people!
White man!
A real white man!
I see a white man!
You speak English?
Yes!
I can speak English.
Oh my God!
In my hometown,
I am the only person who can speak English!
I am a professor.
I am a graduate!
Explain to them that I led you here!
Hey, villager!
Amazing!
Oh my God!
I can't believe this!
Yes!
We're saved!
It's so good to meet you!
Yes,
nice to meet you too!
Oh my God!
Jesus Christ!
Oh yes!
Look,
we have a bit of a problem here.
We've been walking all around
and we're kinda like lost
so we errm looking...
We can't seem to find our way around.
You're lost?
Yes.
Where are you going that you're lost?
We are actually looking for this village,
Name the village for me.
Oh yeah.
That one ... yeah
It's quite a compound name.
It's a mouthful but let me see if I can err
it's called errm
Asempanian?
Not panian.
Asempaneye!
Yes!
That's it!
It's my hometown!
I am a professor at that place!
Oh my God!
Yeah!
We are saved!
We are saved!
Awesome!
Oh this is awesome!
This is great news!
Please, take us there!
Please,
relax.
Don't rush me.
Okay.
White people don't rush people.
Relax.
I see.
Do you know something?
In my hometown,
nobody has seen a white man before.
Okay.
My people will see you as evil people.
No, we are not evil.
No,
We're good people.
No, the place.
Yeah.
You should wait here,
I'll go and come back
and take you all to meet Nana.
Nana?
Yes.
Who's "Nana"?
The king.
You mean the king?
The king?
Okay, that's good!
That's very good!
Yes.
Yeah, the king.
Sure, why not?
We'll wait here.
Right here.
Yeah.
We're gonna let you go and come back.
Okay.
That'd be awesome.
Yeah.
It's so good to meet you.
Thank you.
We are so, so happy to meet you.
And this guy,
Yes.
He's a farmer.
Oww
No, that's a butcher.
He weeds.
Yeah, butcher?!
- He's a butcher?
- Yeah
Tell him I have been awarded.
When?
He's a butcher.
He butchers bush?
Yes, he butchers bush.
Butcher bush?
Okay.
Yes, introduce me well then.
Are you too white?
I am black and white.
Black and white?
Yes.
No, disregard.
He's just one of my goons.
Goons?
Yeah, goons!
Are you white?
Africa.
Africa?
Africa.
Africa!
Why?
Did I do something wrong?
Okay.
Wait.
I'll go and come.
Wait here.
He sounds happy.
That is quite some drama right there.
We've finally made it!
I said it!
Now,
this is where you hail me.
Are you sure were safe?
Are we safe?
Hey!
Wait!
Silence!
He's addressing me
but I can't hear him if you keep making noise.
Say what you said again.
Are you sure it's safe?
Yeah, we are safe.
Yes, you are very, very safe.
Don't worry.
Don't be afraid.
What are they saying?
They are singing for you,
the meaning of their song is welcome.
Okay.
Okay, continue singing!
Silence!
Well,
thank you all for gathering here.
Today is a joyful day.
When you look at my left-hand side
you can see that we have white men in our midst.
The reason they are here is
to bring us great help.
Well said!
You can see that this village is lacking.
There are so many facilities that we don't have.
Well said!
They have come out of love and the fear of God
to help us acquire all these facilities
like hospitals
potable drinking water,
electricity,
and so many other facilities.
The reason the white men found their way here
was because of the first gentleman,
in the person of Professor!
So, we have warmly welcomed them.
We are going to live with them
but we have to teach them our customs and traditions
for them to learn our way of life
Well said!
Afterwards, we'll accept them so that in future
when they're out and about
citizens of this town would not see them as strangers
so they would harm them or anything worse than that.
Well said!
Once we introduce them
they'll become a part of us
and the assistance they plan to give us
we are pleading with all the people in this village,
to support them with love,
unity and the fear of God
so that our village can progress.
So, before anything happens
I'll plead with the professor that everything I've said
relay it to your people.
Clap your hands if you're happy!
Keep clapping!
Sir Frank,
what the king said was that
"We welcome you and your team.
God bless you.
After all this,
you'll become one of citizens.
You'll be a citizen so when you go out
nobody can attack you because we are one.
No, you're part of us.
That's lovely.
After all this,
see the drums?
our culture
we have "Kete,
Adowa,
Nwomkoro,
Atumpan"
We'll play it now and dance together.
Our cultural dance.
Drumming.
That's all.
Are you done?
Your highness,
he said he has heard you.
Thank you very much.
If the professor has finished explaining things to them
then let us play.
Get up and dance for them to see.
So guys,
this is what we're going to do.
We have to kick-start our plan
and exactly why we came here.
And you all know what the mission is.
The sole mission
is to locate this isolated building
isolated house in this community.
That's what we're really looking for.
Okay?
I'll do that first thing tomorrow morning.
We'll scatter around the village
and we'll search for this house
But master,
why don't we ask Prof?
to locate this house for us?
God,
How can you be talking like a kid?
Why do you think like a kid?
Are you kidding?
Why would you let him suspect
we are here on a different mission?
It's not good.
Yeah.
I agree with Chibuzor on this one.
Yeah.
It's best for us to keep this to ourselves.
Let's not let him in on it.
At least not for now
to until we get to know him better.
All right?
For now,
don't forget that tomorrow morning
everybody will step out
and go search.
We'll just scatter around the village.
Act like we're tourist
like we are looking around
Yes.
We are just trying to find the right errm street,
to build a hospital or to build homes
education,
schools,
roads.
We'll just act like that.
I'm sure we'll be able to find it.
Yes... Yes.
Sir Frank?!
No.
Don't be afraid.
We won't hurt you
Okay?
Where can we find this house?
What?
House.
House?
Yes.
You'll be here for long.
What?
What has it done?
No, no, no.
The house,
This.
This?
Like this.
Where in the community?
Please, take it back.
Let's go.
You?
Let's go.
Hello.
Hi.
Chibuzor,
Did you see what I saw?
What is that that you saw?
This is what is called God's creation.
This is what a real man should be eating.
Yes now.
Chibuzor,
so if they ask you now to sleep with that fat girl
you'd go for it?
Look at you.
Okay, now if you go to the market to buy chicken,
and they bring a tiny one and a big chicken,
which one will you take?
Okay fish!
Let's say shark!
If they bring shark and small fish
which one will you take?
If you go for shark,
it could swallow you.
That's Adwubi, right?
Yes... yes!
That's the girl who brought us the food the other day!
Yeah,
She's the one!
He's asking how you are doing?
She's the one!
She was the one who brought the foodstuff.
Yes.
Adwubi Kete.
Yeah.
Where are they coming from?
What do they have on their heads?
They are coming from the riverside?
He wants to know where you went to fetch the water.
The river down south.
Just over there!
She went down south to the river.
Riverside
Oh there's a river?
Yes!
There's a river here?
Yes, there are a lot of rivers here.
One here!
A lot of rivers here!
Lovely,
I'll like to see it.
Don't worry, Sir Frank
I'll make sure to take you around all the rivers.
No, no, no
I'd like for them
I'd like to go with them to the river.
You'd like the women to show you there?
Yes.
Yes.
Adwubi,
he says that he wants to go with you to the river
to show him around.
We'll go.
She says she's ready to take you there
but she'd have to first take the water home.
Okay, no worries.
We'll wait here for them.
We'll just wait right here.
Okay.
He says you should take the water home first,
we'll wait right here for you.
Professor,
the guy at the back.
What's wrong with him?
He doesn't like smiling, why?
He's just frowning at us!
His head is as huge as a palm-fruit!
Don't insult him!
She's saying she wants to go with you.
Me?
Yeah.
Oh no.
See what he's doing!
Look at the expression on his face.
He says he can't go with you
so only Adwubi should return.
I don't understand what you're saying.
You're far off.
Why are you so far from town?
I don't understand what you're saying.
Come.
Come.
Look at something!
White man!
White man!
Yeah.
I said look at how I'm pouring it.
That's my father's shrine.
Shrine.
Come.
No!
Come and sit down.
I'm so sorry but I really need to go.
I'll be back!
It's okay.
I'll be back!
So what did I really understand from all that he said?
Or?
But this is just a shrine.
Hey!
What's chasing you?
It's all right.
No one's chasing me.
I found it.
You found what?
I found the house!
You found the house?!
Yes.
The house we're looking for.
I've found it!
Are you sure?
I'm sure, you're kidding?
Of course I'm sure.
I saw it with my two naked eyes!
Just what my mother told me!
It looks exactly the way it is on the map.
I saw it there.
Guess what?
It's Adwubi's house!
Hey goons,
where's the Prof?
The prof is sleeping.
He took alcohol and it's knocked him out.
Okay, good.
Listen,
we've found the place
where the statue is.
Wow.
The idol.
So,
we are going there right now to get it.
Do you understand?
By the time we return,
make sure you'd have our bags packed
because we'd be heading out immediately.
Do you understand?
Yeah.
Perfect.
Lets go.
See what I told you?
Look at that stupid professor.
He thinks he knows something.
He told them to drive us,
now he will not know where we live.
Idiot.
Goons!
Making us as if we're servants.
But you
it seems as if you hate that man.
I don't like him.
Why?
When you see his face,
you know that he's trouble.
He's trouble.
Let's go and find,
That's it.
My God.
It's so beautiful.
It's so beautiful.
Pick it up.
What?
Pick it up.
You want me to pick this up?
Yes.
That thing looks scary.
I can't pick it up.
You pick it up!
Mario,
That's an order.
Pick it up.
Pick it up!
Don't push me.
It's burned you?
It's okay.
Oh God
Let's go.
Sir Frank,
errm
There's something I'll like to talk to you about.
It's very important.
I think it's about time we told you the truth.
We are
not here on any charity project
and we don't work for any NGO unfortunately.
Hey!
Sir Frank,
you lied to me?
Everything you told me were lies?
Yes.
You lied to me.
You lied to the king
Yes.
Why?
I'm sorry.
Sorry for what?
But I'd like you to hear me out
Okay?
So for what purpose are you here?
Good.
You see my mother,
she's a sorcerer,
Sorcerer?
Yes.
And a great one at that.
But
she wants to become the
greatest of all sorcerers in the world.
And not just the greatest,
and the most powerful but
the richest too.
And for her to achieve that feat,
she needs something
that belongs here in Africa
in a country called Ghana.
In this village of yours.
In the house of Adwubi.
Adwubi?
Yes, Adwubi.
That's where the power resides
and we need that power.
Sir Frank,
What exactly do you want?
Kankan Nyame?!
Yes, Kankan Nyame
Do you want Kankan Nyame?
Yes.
Hey , no.
Sir Frank,
I'm telling you,
you can never get this!
This is for our ancestors!
Our gods!
Among all the gods we have here,
Kankan Nyame is the most powerful.
He's more powerful than all the other gods!
Please,
as for this one,
you'll not get it.
Prof, Prof.
Prof, do you what this is?
Dollars?
Yes, dollars.
Dollars?
Yes and it's all yours.
That's just a token.
Us Dollars?
It's just a token.
It's absolutely nothing.
Wow.
So Prof, listen
if you're going to accept our deal
we promise we are gonna build you,
any house of your choice.
We are also going to give you two million US dollars.
Two million dollars!
And finally,
we'll also make sure when we're going back
we'll take you along with us to Europe!
Wow!
Yeah!
Damn!
Two million dollars.
Goons,
accept this
This will keep you big for life.
You'll never be poor again.
Take it and do what they're asking you to do.
Please,
Let me think first,
Two million?
Kankan Nyame?
Money?
An idol?
No.
No!
After all that Kankan Nyame
has done for us in this village,
our protection,
in all our ways
Kankan Nyame has been with us.
Am I going to follow money
and sell Kankan Nyame
to these white men?
I cannot sell Kankan Nyame
to these white men
because of money - dollars.
No.
Prof.
This is an opportunity
for you to be rich
great
wealthy
get properties everywhere
in the world.
Nobody will challenge you.
And Prof,
you know?
You can become the king.
With this!
Money?
Yes.
This one
wood.
This is dollar.
Money!
He's powerful.
He protects us.
Dollar
more powerful.
Take it.
He's lying.
No, I'll stand my ground.
I'll will not agree.
Two million US dollars is a lot of money.
Yes, I know
two million dollars is a lot.
That's what I'm thinking about.
It's
Professor,
Yes, sir Frank.
I'm going to up the offer.
I'll make it five million dollars.
Five million?!
Sorry.
Here.
That's it.
That's it.
This?
Yeah.
This one?
Yeah, that one!
Mario,
this is small.
Take it and go.
Come on take it and let's go.
If you're not scared of it then get it.
No, no, no...
I'm never scared.
How can I be scared?
You take it.
You are a native.
You're of the land.
Yeah.
We are foreigners
so I think it recognizes that we are foreigners
and it wouldn't allow us to take it but you
you are a native.
You can easily just take it.
Forget strong man.
Forget about native.
Anybody can take it,
taking it is easy.
No!
It's just firewood.
You're an African man.
You're strong and you've got the powers.
Go on!
Why are you scared of this?
It's just a doll.
African men are strong.
You're strong man,
Get it!
You fear?
Who? Me?
Never in my life!
I'll never!
Me?!
That's the spirit.
From here,
you can ask anybody.
Good so
should I carry it for you or?
No, carry it for us.
You just take it.
Yes, go.
Yes, just tell her.
Go ahead.
Adwubi,
Adwubi Kete,
honestly,
when we talk about beauty
the creator has endowed you with it.
In this whole village,
when we talk about a beautiful woman
we cannot overlook you.
so when I say that your name suits you then it is so.
Your face structure,
I don't know what to say about it every time I see you.
We need not even mention your bosom.
How much more down there.
Adwubi Kete,
the white man is sitting beside me.
I often say that
in this village,
if a white man comes here
and wants a woman
to be friends with
we cannot overlook you.
Professor, I know what I'm saying.
If a white man comes into this village,
that he wants a woman for a friend
Adwubi Kete,
it can never go over you.
The white man wants a woman to marry
and have kids with
Adwubi Kete,
You are the one
because there's no one besides you.
In this entire village,
all the women are half-beings
some are quarter but you're full.
The white man wants me to tell you that
he is interested in you
to marry you.
Professor!
Hey!
This is what I hate about women!
Listen,
you already know whether you like him or not.
Your answer should be either yes or no.
Yes or No.
Professor,
Well, your skins look very much alike.
If we have children!
So what are you telling me?
I like him too!
You like him too?
Hey!
Adwubi?
God will punish you!
So, am I not a man?
Adwubi
for all these years I've been
talking to you as a professor.
A graduate man like me.
that you're aware.
we've been chatting
back to back.
Just the two of us.
You've been putting me aside
I like you and wants to marry you as a professor
but you said no
but this guy arrived not to so long ago and you like him?
Professor,
Is he a man?!
This...
Is this a human being?!
This thing sitting here,
Is it because of his fair-skin?
The albino?
This?!
Is this how men look?
Is this how men look?
Look at a man's hand.
She says she also loves you.
She has an interest in you.
She loves you too.
Okay.
Do you errh
finish?
Okey doke.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
errm
thank you so much for accepting my proposal.
I am
I'm blown away
and to be honest
and errm
do you mind if I hug you?
What did he say?
He says thank you.
Hug him!
He says thank you for accepting his love proposal.
That's enough!
She says you're hugging her for too long.
Thank you.
So we'll be taking our leave
and probably you should come
come over to our place to visit later on
or I could come here.
Whichever works for you.
Okay.
He says he won't say too much.
First, he thanks you
for accepting his proposal and making his joy complete.
Again,
he'll return home to get things ready
and he's wondering if he'd come over here tonight
or you'd rather come over.
I'll come over.
Ouch!
Who goes there?!
Wow that was some errh
It was so nice, was it?
You're smiling.
Prof!
You in there?
He's oh, okay
I thought you were sleeping.
Oh Prof,
oh so sorry.
So sorry to disturb you.
I was deeply asleep.
Yes, sorry about that
I was like errm
she probably wants to say goodbye.
Sir Frank, are you okay?
Yeah... yeah!
Are you sure?
Oh absolutely!
Did everything go well?
Oh it was
it was awesome.
Adwubi
he's saying that you did great
so he thanks you for visiting him.
It's late so you can go home by yourself, right?
Professor,
tell him it's late.
Yes, it's late so you have to go home.
I want to sleep over.
Hey!
Adwubi!
You'll sleep over?
After all that you did?
I never knew this about you Adwubi,
that all this while you've been
running around here meekly,
you were this skilled in bed.
Such awesome responses!
I was deeply asleep but your responses woke me up.
All the noises you've made here
you still want to sleep over?
Professor,
were you spying on us?
Just as we said
that thing right there.
if you're able to pick it up for us to leave with it
you've made a huge score
and so have I.
We are rich.
We'll no longer stay here!
We'll go abroad with him to live our lives
then we'll be able to take care of our families
for a successful future.
Pick it up and let's go.
I'm telling her to pick it up.
Good.
Just go!
Just do it.
What's wrong?
You
you're the custodian
it'll be lenient on you.
Just go.
He said you're the custodian of this shrine,
Keep quiet.
Look!
Did you think it were easy?
Let's go.
Adwubi,
Now,
here are all the items.
Are they all here?
These are all the items my father showed me
and I've put them together and brought them here.
And when we go,
I'll undress and put these on.
You'll wear these?
I'll tie this around my body.
When we get to the forest,
we'll pluck palm fronds
and put them in our mouths.
I'll walk facing front.
he'll walk with his back turned.
And what about me?
You'll walk facing front too.
Professor,
we are done so you can go.
You've finished everything?
There's nothing more?
I think
she's the one!
She's the one?!
Yes!
I think she's the one!
That's good.
Yes.
She's the one.
She's coming!
Awesome!
She made it!
Give it to me!
What's wrong?
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
We are so happy.
Thank you so very much.
But we don't have time
we need to take it out!
Right about now.
He said there's no time so we need to leave now.
Okay!
Let's go!
Bags!
Goons.
Hey, did you take everything?
Yeah, everything.
Are you sure?
Goons.
You've taken everything?
Everything.
Did you take everything?
Yeah.
Okay let's go!
Hey, I forgot my shades.!
Your what?
Specs!
What the hell?
Let's go home.
Can't you see at night?
Shades!
Okay, let's go!
Chief priest.
Chief priest.
Talk to us!
There's trouble.
What is it?
Kankan Nyame is missing.
Kankan Nyame has gone missing?
Where Kankan Nyame is housed
when I went there to check on it,
Kankan Nyame was not there.
Who could touch Kankan Nyame?
It's not where it usually is?
It's not there.
I've searched everywhere.
Kankan Nyame is not there.
Chief priest
Do you think a stranger could take
Kankan Nyame without his knowledge?
Please, with all due respect,
no stranger can come and take Kankan Nyame
unless a ritual is performed.
He has to perform a ritual before he can take Kankan Nyame.
Is that so?
Stop what you're doing and talk to me.
Nobody can pick up Kankan Nyame,
so then how did Kankan Nyame leave his abode?
Chief priest,
are you sure you haven't told anyone how to pick up Kankan Nyame?
Or haven't you discussed it with anyone?
I haven't done so but I remember that my daughter Adwubi
Yes?
A few days ago
she got me drunk,
where did you get this drink?
Professor gave it to me.
When she gave me the drink and I became drunk
she started asking me about it.
If someone wants to touch it
what should she do?
If you want to touch Kankan Nyame,
you need to perform a ritual.
I explained everything to her to the point
and the ritual involved if one wants to pick it up.
Finally,
as a woman
you need a man whom you love
to perform the ritual with
before you can
lay a hand on Kankan Nyame.
I didn't think about the possibility of this happening,
but I thought that perhaps one day I'd travel
and she could perform the ritual in my absence
and that's why I told her all about it.
Have you asked Adwubi then?
When this happened,
I can't find Adwubi.
I've searched everywhere I had to.
I've been to all her friends to look for her
but they all haven't seen Adwubi.
Then if both Kankan Nyame and Adwubi are missing
then Adwubi has taken him!
A great tragedy has befallen this village!
And this village is in peril!
The great idol that we worship!
Kankan Nyame
the white men who came here,
and some members of this village have connived
and stolen Kankan Nyame.
Great gods of our land!
All thirty-seven gods!
Wherever Kankan Nyame has gotten to!
Chase them and return it back to this village!
For this great tragedy that has befallen us
we cannot contain it.
Where it's gotten to,
it's not my power,
nor somebody else's power,
but
the battle for the gods.
Wherever it is.
Wherever it's reached,
cause them to return it!
Kankan Nyame!
Return!
Wherever you've reached,,
return home!
Kankan Nyame! Return!
Kankan Nyame!
What is it?
Antelope or grass-cutter?!
Look.
It's very ugly.
I don't know what it is but it's very ugly.
Why have we stopped?
Let's just rest.
What?
Let's just rest.
Rest?
We should rest here?
Yeah.
Sir Frank?
Yeah.
You want to rest here?
Yes, we'll rest here.
In this forest?
Yes.
In this evil forest?
What?
Nobody can rest right now.
Let me tell you.
I knew this forest before you came.
My people
ancestors
told us that if something is chasing you
and it doesn't stop
neither must you.
You should keep running!
Keep going and you'd be safe.
How can you just say we should stop here to rest?
Professor.
You say you're a professor,
If you're a professor
you should know the difference
between an old man and a young man.
I don't have the strength to run again!
I'll stay here.
If death wants to catch me
let it catch me here.
I am not going with you people.
I'll stay here and rest.
When I finish resting,
I'll go.
They pay you and that's why you're goons.
I'm paid to die.
They pay me to die.
I am not going again.
If I want to die,
let me die here.
Professor, let me just tell you!
You,
he's very right!
We are old!
You should consider old age!
Look at my waist.
Look at my legs.
I can't even walk again!
Im tired!
If you want to rest then rest,
I don't care.
My sister and I
we'll leave here.
We'll go.
Rest here and die!
I don't care.
It's okay.
It's all right.
He's right, you know?
He understands the forest more than we do.
Yes.
So if he says that it's not safe
here then it's definitely not safe.
We should just continue.
Until we find somewhere safe to stay, okay?
Come on guys.
Let's go.
Let's go but if you don't go,
you can rest here and die.
Hey, come on let's go.
We won't die.
Let's go!
Hey!
Let's go!
Hey!
Where are you going with the idol?
Hurry and take it back where you took it!
Hurry!
Who's this?
Hey, sir Frank!
What?
Our ancestors.
Your what?
Our ancestors!
The gods!
Ancestors?
Yes!
He's a bloody dwarf!
He said that the god we took
I should warn you to go and put it back!
If not he'll kill us.
No, he can't do anything.
This is just a bloody dwarf!
He's a demon!
A very powerful demon!
Hurry and take it back!
What is it saying?!
He said I should take it back!
He's a very powerful demon!
Oh please, I don't believe in these mumbo-jumbo!
Shoot him!
Shoot this bloody dwarf!
Master!
Shoot this bloody dwarf!
Master,
Shoot it!
You said I should shoot?
Pull the trigger!
It's just a figure!
Master, I'm finished!
Incompetence!
Give me the gun!
Master!
Sir Frank!
Stop!
Frank!
Stop!
Give me the gun!
Frank!
Where did he go?
Frank!
Get out of there!
You see?
Sir Frank?
You see?
He's our ancestor!
Do you know what a dwarf is?
It's a dwarf!
Dwarf.
I can see it's a bloody dwarf.
He's a serious demon!
Let's go!
Let's go home.
I'm traveling to make money.
Let's go!
I'm traveling!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Hey!
Hey,
let's go!
Up!
Up!
It's sweet.
Yeah.
You are an African man.
You like food a lot.
You're enjoying it.
Too much.
You like food!
If you enter the bush.
No food.
Yeah.
This food was made by God.
God prepared it.
[God prepared it.
This is cocoa?
Yeah cocoa, yeah.
This guy can eat.
Hey!
Again?!
- You're heaven!
- Get back!
This bloody dwarf again?
Yes, again.
You are stubborn, right?
When I warned you to return
the idol to where you took it,
you didn't hear me?!
I'll show you that I am evil!
Give me the gun!
Hey!
Give me the gun!
Gun again?!
Sir Frank,
gun again?
Hey!
Professor...
Just look at this,
what's the meaning of all this?
Let's go back home.
You allowed this dwarf to beat us as if we were animals!
Hey, we'll return home!
We'll not follow him into our graves.
I agree with you!
We must return home!
Let them keep their money!
Please, she says
she doesn't want to go with you again.
What?
Now, we are going home.
I am also going home.
We'll take our idol back home with us.
You can also take yours and go.
Are you serious?
Yes, I'm serious!
Someone beat us!
You know!
Take a look at my back.
It's bruised.
All right,
Calm down everybody.
Just calm down.
I know you all are really scared,
scared out of your bonkers.
I totally understand.
Well, listen.
The bloody dwarf only has
his powers in this bloody forest!
Once we get out of this forest
and we get into the city,
he won't have any powers over us.
He won't be able to find us
and then we'd be able to escape
to the place I promised you all.
All right?
Just calm down.
Let's get to the city and that
dwarf will have no more powers.
No, we won't calm down!
Take your promises!
Because I am not a kid!
I'm a professor!
Yeah.
You are so stubborn.
I said don't use gun again!
Please,
it's okay.
I won't go to UK or Europe again!
It's okay, please.
Please,
- No!
- Remember!
I promised you a good life!
I promised her a good life!
I told her I was going to take care of her
and take her to London!
I told you..!
We won't go, my friend!
And I told you guys,
you goons,
I promised you I was going
to give you some good money,
and everything!
And here you are...
Hey!
Hey!
We can go now!
Let's go now!
Guys!
Let's go now!
Let's go!
You goons, get up!
- Pick it up!
- Get up!
Get up.
I tried to talk to you all
like matured-minded people but no
you wouldn't have it.
You want the gun so you get the gun!
Let's go!
You goons too!
Bloody goons!
You were supposed to protect me!
Emeka, are we not going?
I promise you,
you aren't getting no penny!
No penny for any of you!
Pay attention!
That bloody dwarf has no power
outside the city.
I was telling you, professor
I told you,
I promised you I was going to give you a good life
but you won't listen.
How have I wronged you, white man?
English,
English,
What have I done to you?
You came to me.
I'll do good to you but today
you're doing bad to me.
How?
If you do good,
you do for yourself
if you do bad
you do for yourself.
You're treating me badly.
I did a good thing for you
so how can you betray me?
I betrayed you?
Yes, you put a gun on me!
Yes because you won't listen!
I told you that listen to me
and that when we got to the city,
I was going to give you a good life,
take you outside and give you a good life,
away from that village you're coming from!
And you!
just know that you've been kidnapped.
- What's he saying?
- You've been kidnapped.
And all you bloody goons,
that I gave all the goddamn money,
and then here you are
trying to rip me off and back-stab me!
You're not getting no penny from me!
I can assure you.
Move!
Is this not Sir Frank?
- What's he saying?
- Move!
Your case is worse!
Go get their guns.
What?
Give me the gun.
Hey!
Put it down.
Drop it.
Master!
Water.
Throat
dry.
Do you want me to repeat myself?
Professor,
Yes.
Have you seen what you've caused?
What have I done?
Have you seen what you've caused?
What have I done?
You tricked me into stealing this thing
Once we get to town,
I have a car waiting for us in the city.
It's going to take us straight to the harbor
and it's just going to be me and you.
Okay.
We'll dispose of these guys right here.
This is why people will leave their land
come here
steal our culture
steal our gods,
steal our heritage
steal our edifices,
give us money and we'll take and sell Africa.
Is it good?
Chibuzor,
Keep quiet.
I'm going to hit your mouth with my elbow!
Here you are today!
Africans!
This is why we are in this position today!
Our terrible mindsets,
I'll kill them all.
Do something,
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I mean?
That's a good idea.
Just dispose of them.
Yeah.
I'll like that one dead.
It's exactly what we are going to do.
When we meet new people,
we tend to follow them around
then ignore the people we know.
We live in the same village with you
as a professor
I kept proposing love to you till I
ran out of words to say to woo you.
I had no words left.
You rejected my proposal.
When you met a white man
this white man,
you fell for his promises of love and marriage.
You even grew to trust
him even more than us.
This is where you've ended up today.
I'll regret this all my life.
Chibuzor, I'm ashamed of ourselves.
Don't go away.
I've got us all covered.
We'll take the god,
all right?
Yeah.
then we'll just dispose of them.
But he's good looking.
He's good looking?
The rest of the men in the village are monkeys.
We are not good looking.
You were discriminating against us
and this is where you've ended up today.
You are also partly to blame
weren't you the one who brought them around?
The most painful part of it all is
he has taught me a bitter lesson.
He has conned me very well!
How much I trusted him and
We've been warned not to talk!
Won't you lower your voice?
How well I related to him,
I mean I came to love him
and we did everything together
but he had bad intentions for us.
Just because of small money.
Small money
Look at where we are.
He deceived us.
I regret it!
They are not whites.
They are wicked people.
Just as a black man can be wicked,
they are wicked.
Shall we start with the goons?
I regret it!
Hey!
No side talks!
Yes.
No side talks.
Just a little bit more.
Are you talking about me?
No, no!
We are talking about our history!
You better be!
Yeah, better be!
He said "Bola" what?
No, Boris B.
The poultry farmer.
This bloody dwarf!
You these wicked people are stubborn, right?!
You are stubborn?
I'll show you that there's something in this world!
I will show you that iron sharpens iron!
You must die!
Hands up!
No!
Hands up!
We're with you!
Africa, one Africa!
Hands up!
Hey!
Now, I'm the commander here!
Yes.
I'm the leader here!
The gun you used
to threaten us!
Now,
we'll use it
it's for me.
Yes, we'll take our idol.
It's yours.
You, white people!
You have disappointed them!
You're so wicked!
Hey brother!
You know that's a gun you're holding, yeah?
Yes.
Be careful with that.
That's a weapon.
I know!
I know!
Okay.
But you white people
you're so wicked!
Very wicked!
Especially, you Sir Frank!
You came to us
you've disappointed me!
And you've disappointed my people!
Yes.
Now, you've given me problem
and you've destroyed my sister's life too!
He gave all of us problems!
You planned to come here to steal our gods
and return to your country!
Hold on!
Hold on a second!
Are you sure you're a professor?
Yes,
I'm a professor!
Yeah but his English is so appalling.
I barely understand what you're saying!
Not your business!
Well,
Did you think we were goons?!
You are goons now.
In fact you're "Goonsies"!
Now!
Hands up!
All right?
You are going back to our people!
Oh no.
No.
The way you stole our gods,
We are all going back!
So,
Okay, you know what
professor, listen
don't do that.
Come on.
You know what?
Let's have a bargain, yeah?
You go to your people
and let me go to...
Shut up!
It's enough.
Where do you want to go?
You won't go anywhere!
Yes.
We'll take you back to my people
because you stole!
You stole our gods!
No!
We...
You and I stole the god!
Who?!
Hey!
My friend you're mad!
You are crazy!
Yes.
You're crazy!
Hey, my friend!
Go!
If you try anything
I'll kill you!
Oh no.
I swear on my mother that I'll kill you!
My brother, it won't get to that.
You know...
Turn!
Turn around!
Don't shout at me.
Sorry.
I'm the leader.
Yes.
Yes, he's the leader, yeah?
Shut up!
Go!
Bag!
I promise you,
I'm a good man!
What?
You know I'm a good man.
Come on!
You?!
Yeah!
Go!
Go!
You call us goons!
We're Africans!
Chief priest,
How far with the matter?
Okay, your highness
thank you.
The way things are
I have offered libation
and spoken to the gods
and what they're saying is that
we should leave this battle to them.
They will take care of this battle.
Just as the elders say
Professor!
How are you?
Are you asking how I'm doing?
Hey, what's your problem?!
Let go of him!
So you have hurt us this way?
Which hurt?
Professor!
Palace guard!
So you have hurt us this way?
Which hurt?
Which hurt?
You'll smell pepper!
You have made us suffer so much in this town?!
Hey!
Listen!
We have returned it!
What have you returned?
We have returned the idol!
What are you also standing there for?!
Have you seen?
Have you seen the kind of problem you've given me?!
Have you seen the kind of
problem you've given me, sir Frank?!
King!
The thieves are coming!
Which thieves?!
The thieves!
Which thieves?!
The thieves are coming!
They are coming, king!
It's Prof!
Where's the professor?
He's on his way here with the white men.
They are coming here?
They are coming
My king,
It's not easy!
We met them on our way to the farm.
They are coming?
They will be here soon?
This issue,
Do you mean Prof?
Professor!
Are the goons also included?
They are!
They are carrying guns.
What surprised me most was that
I saw them carrying a little duffel at their side.
Yes, the gods have performed miraculously!
There they are!
Move!
Silence!
Professor!
My king.
Professor!
My king,
why is it that a good citizen such as yourself,
sold your brain,
your wisdom
for these white people
and they have wronged us this way?
Why did you do that?
My king,
Professor,
what you did was very wrong!
I was wrong, my king.
It wasn't my fault.
Whose fault is it then?!
It wasn't my fault.
This white man
that we thought were white
men but rather are wicked men
they are wicked men indeed!
They do wicked things to the African continent!
They harm the country Ghana
and the people in it as well!
They harm the African people.
It's all deceit!
I was deceived!
Sir Frank deceived me, my king!
I had no idea!
They said they were coming to help this community
to develop.
Our school,
light issues
our water,
hospital, my king
not knowing it was all lies.
He deceived me.
He flattered me
and told me lies.
They spoke English with me.
He taught me stuff!
He flattered me and gave me stuff to eat!
not knowing he was deceiving me all along.
I had no idea.
They promised me five million dollars!
I sold you all for five million US dollars.
My king,
But at the end
they failed to give me the money.
It was all a lie!
The school
potable water
he was lying.
They had nothing for us.
It was rather Kankan Nyame
that we worship in this village,
that some people even disregard Kankan Nyame,
desecrate it
the filthy things we do
and disrespect it,
My king,
they came all the way from the
United Kingdom to steal Kankan Nyame!
[CROWED SCREAMS
Professor!
You are an accomplice, professor!
Things are going well for them!
They build planes,
ships,
they make great inventions.
They've realized that it's powerful.
They came with a sheet to search for the idol.
Had they taken it away,
this is the reason America and its neighborhood countries
are progressing.
They are making great inventions.
They are producing ships,
planes and many more
but we don't have anything in this country!
It's because of the power we possess in Africa
and in Ghana,
the whites have purchased them all
and they're using that power to help them develop.
It's giving them wisdom,
knowledge,
that is it, my king.
It was all a lie.
This Sir Frank even threatened to kill me.
It was the gods who brought us home safely
so we have returned Kankan Nyame.
We have returned it!
This therefore means that
African countries should be content with what we have!
That's true, elder!
These whites came here to deceive us!
They came for a loan
but they rather came to steal one's valuables!
They've sold all our powers.
The witchcraft that we possess,
we use it to backbite one another
we don't want others to succeed.
We wish somebody was dead,
sick,
failed,
had a collapsed business
we wish others were dead!
That's what happens here!
The white man has visions!
When he purchases the power,
he uses it to make great inventions.
He builds an excavator,
everything!
Then he employs us as slaves!
Transformer and everything!
African continent must be careful!
The country Ghana must be careful!
Let us not take our culture for granted!
Let us appreciate what we have!
The people,
politics and everything!
Let us appreciate what we have
for Africa as something valuable!
I'll confess more!
Let us listen to him!
Silence!
Prof is a thief!
Adwubi!
Don't come close to me!
Adwubi!
Why did you disgrace me so?!
Father, here it is!
What?
It wasn't my fault, father.
I'm going to break your arm.
Professor!
What?
Allow her to speak!
Let's listen to her!
He deceived me.
Me?
Yes!
He told me to steal the idol for the white me
and they'll take me abroad!
Silence!
Hey Adwubi!
I'll invoke a curse on you!
Father,
he again made me have sex with this one!
It's true!
Your highness,
Go ahead and speak Professor!
I beg you my king,
Silence!
You cannot stand before the
chiefs and vow to invoke a curse!
Please, she's lying!
The truth is,
she knows the difference between right and wrong!
True.
Because she has no respect for the men here,
You're lying!
Allow him to speak!
I'll beat her up!
My king,
she got closer to this white man
and this white man too
had sex with her.
So she did all that he asked.
She fell in love with him and it wasn't my doing.
My king,
I was minding my business
and not thinking about that.
Aside all the men in this village, Adwubi
all whom have proposed love to you,
including I who have proposed to her over thirty times,
she didn't accept me.
Even Oppong proposed to
her but she rejected him as well.
There are men in this village but they disrespect us.
The women here disregard us.
They respect strangers more than we the natives.
They disregard us!
God has punished you!
You sold your father's idol for five million
dollars and you want to blame it on me!
What did I do?!
You're lying!
Was I included when you were enjoying yourself?
Silence!
Ask Awurama,
he's lying!
Hey!
Was I involved with you having sex with her?!
He's lying!
Look,
Africa,
God Almighty gave valuable resources.
He has blessed us with properties as well!
But these white men have used deceit,
to rob us of these resources by deceiving us with money
and other things
and we've sold our brains,
wisdom
and our resources to them and today
they are making great inventions in their countries
and they'll export them here to sell to us.
Why are we just allowing this to happen?
Let us be content with our cultures and traditions.
Our Akwasiddae,
Dapaah
Kwabena
Awukwudae and others.
Let us be content with them!
Every time we have to offer libation,
let us do so.
Well said!
And if we do such things...
It is twisted but not broken!
Well said!
Africa will recover.
Well said!
Now,
with everything professor and your people did,
it has all come to an end.
It has all been laid bare.
Now,
what I'm saying is
these Nigerians who have joined us
take these so-called white people to prison
and later
we'll deal with them!
And as for you professor and Adwubi,
after we had dealt with them,
we'll have a word with you.
So you and the Nigerians should take them to prison!
Hey sir Frank!
You!
I'm telling you!
You've disappointed me!
You've given me problems
now, the king has revealed everything to me,
after you're sent to jail
he'll deal with me,
you are going to prison!
You're going to cell!
No food!
No water!
No shit!
No fart!
No urination!
After all this,
I'll come to the prison,
one on one
I'll beat you!
I swear to God!
You!
Hey!
Goons!
Let's go!
Take them away!
"At long last the battle has ended"
"Ghana"
"Your beloved country"
"Is free forever."
What's happening?
Is something wrong?
Oh for the love of God!
Goons!
Can you find out what's happening here?
My friend!
You're supposed to take us
through this forest to the community.
Look!
- Why did you stop?
- Your language...
Can't you tell I don't understand
the language you're speaking?!
"mente, mente"
What don't you understand?!
Your business is to carry us through this forest,
to the village!
And you're complaining of not understanding us?!
eh?
What is it?!
Yes, it's because of this stream!
Look!
There are a great number of idols living in there!
I should continue this journey?
That's the reason I cannot move any further.
This bloody bike is stuck!
It won't move.
You reckon?
We have to first offer libation.
The stream!
Master,
I think I understand what he means.
What?
He says that before we pass through this river,
uh huh?
We must pour libation.
What?
You call this a river?
It's a bloody puddle!
No!
This is Africa
not Britain.
A country called Ghana.
Give me money and let me go!
Master!
What you see here,
is a river
and "Maame Wata" lives inside!
Is this true?
Yes.
No.
Excuse me,
give me money and let me go.
I've wasted enough time here.
He wants his money.
He wants his...?
Bloody thief!
Give me money and let me go.
Mario please,
just give him his money,
let's get on with it.
I'm dead!
They're going to kill me!
Gun!
What just happened?!
I think I understand what happened.
He saw the gun.
Is it?
So he felt he was going to shoot him.
Bloody nitwit.
He's gone off his bonkers!
Well guys,
let's get on with it.
We're going on foot!
Chop chop!
I have the map.
We can find our way.
Hey master!
Yeah.
Master!
What?
This road
into the forest
very dangerous.
Spirit,
animals,
demons,
anything, ants
they can eat you.
Yes, Master.
I pity you.
Master,
we pity the two of you.
This bush is dangerous.
We are Africans
we can pass through it
with our charms and juju
You know?
Is it?
Very well,
the map says it's this way and
this way is where we are going to go.
I don't give a hoot about your mumbo jumbo spirit
and whatever you call it.
Here is my own charm!
Here is my juju!
Okay?
That's all I believe in.
Now, since your juju is going to save you
then you take the lead,
all right?
No, me?
Oh no, master!
You're the master,
you go first.
Should I ask again?
Move!
Move!
And you likewise!

I see a white man!
I see white people!
White man!
A real white man!
I see a white man!
You speak English?
Yes!
I can speak English.
Oh my God!
In my hometown,
I am the only person who can speak English!
I am a professor.
I am a graduate!
Explain to them that I led you here!
Hey, villager!
Amazing!
Oh my God!
I can't believe this!
Yes!
We're saved!
It's so good to meet you!
Yes,
nice to meet you too!
Oh my God!
Jesus Christ!
Oh yes!
Look,
we have a bit of a problem here.
We've been walking all around
and we're kinda like lost
so we errm looking...
We can't seem to find our way around.
You're lost?
Yes.
Where are you going that you're lost?
We are actually looking for this village,
Name the village for me.
Oh yeah.
That one ... yeah
It's quite a compound name.
It's a mouthful but let me see if I can err
it's called errm
Asempanian?
Not panian.
Asempaneye!
Yes!
That's it!
It's my hometown!
I am a professor at that place!
Oh my God!
Yeah!
We are saved!
We are saved!
Awesome!
Oh this is awesome!
This is great news!
Please, take us there!
Please,
relax.
Don't rush me.
Okay.
White people don't rush people.
Relax.
I see.
Do you know something?
In my hometown,
nobody has seen a white man before.
Okay.
My people will see you as evil people.
No, we are not evil.
No,
We're good people.
No, the place.
Yeah.
You should wait here,
I'll go and come back
and take you all to meet Nana.
Nana?
Yes.
Who's "Nana"?
The king.
You mean the king?
The king?
Okay, that's good!
That's very good!
Yes.
Yeah, the king.
Sure, why not?
We'll wait here.
Right here.
Yeah.
We're gonna let you go and come back.
Okay.
That'd be awesome.
Yeah.
It's so good to meet you.
Thank you.
We are so, so happy to meet you.
And this guy,
Yes.
He's a farmer.
Oww
No, that's a butcher.
He weeds.
Yeah, butcher?!
- He's a butcher?
- Yeah
Tell him I have been awarded.
When?
He's a butcher.
He butchers bush?
Yes, he butchers bush.
Butcher bush?
Okay.
Yes, introduce me well then.
Are you too white?
I am black and white.
Black and white?
Yes.
No, disregard.
He's just one of my goons.
Goons?
Yeah, goons!
Are you white?
Africa.
Africa?
Africa.
Africa!
Why?
Did I do something wrong?
Okay.
Wait.
I'll go and come.
Wait here.
He sounds happy.
That is quite some drama right there.
We've finally made it!
I said it!
Now,
this is where you hail me.
Are you sure were safe?
Are we safe?
Hey!
Wait!
Silence!
He's addressing me
but I can't hear him if you keep making noise.
Say what you said again.
Are you sure it's safe?
Yeah, we are safe.
Yes, you are very, very safe.
Don't worry.
Don't be afraid.
What are they saying?
They are singing for you,
the meaning of their song is welcome.
Okay.
Okay, continue singing!
Silence!
Well,
thank you all for gathering here.
Today is a joyful day.
When you look at my left-hand side
you can see that we have white men in our midst.
The reason they are here is
to bring us great help.
Well said!
You can see that this village is lacking.
There are so many facilities that we don't have.
Well said!
They have come out of love and the fear of God
to help us acquire all these facilities
like hospitals
potable drinking water,
electricity,
and so many other facilities.
The reason the white men found their way here
was because of the first gentleman,
in the person of Professor!
So, we have warmly welcomed them.
We are going to live with them
but we have to teach them our customs and traditions
for them to learn our way of life
Well said!
Afterwards, we'll accept them so that in future
when they're out and about
citizens of this town would not see them as strangers
so they would harm them or anything worse than that.
Well said!
Once we introduce them
they'll become a part of us
and the assistance they plan to give us
we are pleading with all the people in this village,
to support them with love,
unity and the fear of God
so that our village can progress.
So, before anything happens
I'll plead with the professor that everything I've said
relay it to your people.
Clap your hands if you're happy!
Keep clapping!
Sir Frank,
what the king said was that
"We welcome you and your team.
God bless you.
After all this,
you'll become one of citizens.
You'll be a citizen so when you go out
nobody can attack you because we are one.
No, you're part of us.
That's lovely.
After all this,
see the drums?
our culture
we have "Kete,
Adowa,
Nwomkoro,
Atumpan"
We'll play it now and dance together.
Our cultural dance.
Drumming.
That's all.
Are you done?
Your highness,
he said he has heard you.
Thank you very much.
If the professor has finished explaining things to them
then let us play.
Get up and dance for them to see.
So guys,
this is what we're going to do.
We have to kick-start our plan
and exactly why we came here.
And you all know what the mission is.
The sole mission
is to locate this isolated building
isolated house in this community.
That's what we're really looking for.
Okay?
I'll do that first thing tomorrow morning.
We'll scatter around the village
and we'll search for this house
But master,
why don't we ask Prof?
to locate this house for us?
God,
How can you be talking like a kid?
Why do you think like a kid?
Are you kidding?
Why would you let him suspect
we are here on a different mission?
It's not good.
Yeah.
I agree with Chibuzor on this one.
Yeah.
It's best for us to keep this to ourselves.
Let's not let him in on it.
At least not for now
to until we get to know him better.
All right?
For now,
don't forget that tomorrow morning
everybody will step out
and go search.
We'll just scatter around the village.
Act like we're tourist
like we are looking around
Yes.
We are just trying to find the right errm street,
to build a hospital or to build homes
education,
schools,
roads.
We'll just act like that.
I'm sure we'll be able to find it.
Yes... Yes.
Sir Frank?!
No.
Don't be afraid.
We won't hurt you
Okay?
Where can we find this house?
What?
House.
House?
Yes.
You'll be here for long.
What?
What has it done?
No, no, no.
The house,
This.
This?
Like this.
Where in the community?
Please, take it back.
Let's go.
You?
Let's go.
Hello.
Hi.
Chibuzor,
Did you see what I saw?
What is that that you saw?
This is what is called God's creation.
This is what a real man should be eating.
Yes now.
Chibuzor,
so if they ask you now to sleep with that fat girl
you'd go for it?
Look at you.
Okay, now if you go to the market to buy chicken,
and they bring a tiny one and a big chicken,
which one will you take?
Okay fish!
Let's say shark!
If they bring shark and small fish
which one will you take?
If you go for shark,
it could swallow you.
That's Adwubi, right?
Yes... yes!
That's the girl who brought us the food the other day!
Yeah,
She's the one!
He's asking how you are doing?
She's the one!
She was the one who brought the foodstuff.
Yes.
Adwubi Kete.
Yeah.
Where are they coming from?
What do they have on their heads?
They are coming from the riverside?
He wants to know where you went to fetch the water.
The river down south.
Just over there!
She went down south to the river.
Riverside
Oh there's a river?
Yes!
There's a river here?
Yes, there are a lot of rivers here.
One here!
A lot of rivers here!
Lovely,
I'll like to see it.
Don't worry, Sir Frank
I'll make sure to take you around all the rivers.
No, no, no
I'd like for them
I'd like to go with them to the river.
You'd like the women to show you there?
Yes.
Yes.
Adwubi,
he says that he wants to go with you to the river
to show him around.
We'll go.
She says she's ready to take you there
but she'd have to first take the water home.
Okay, no worries.
We'll wait here for them.
We'll just wait right here.
Okay.
He says you should take the water home first,
we'll wait right here for you.
Professor,
the guy at the back.
What's wrong with him?
He doesn't like smiling, why?
He's just frowning at us!
His head is as huge as a palm-fruit!
Don't insult him!
She's saying she wants to go with you.
Me?
Yeah.
Oh no.
See what he's doing!
Look at the expression on his face.
He says he can't go with you
so only Adwubi should return.
I don't understand what you're saying.
You're far off.
Why are you so far from town?
I don't understand what you're saying.
Come.
Come.
Look at something!
White man!
White man!
Yeah.
I said look at how I'm pouring it.
That's my father's shrine.
Shrine.
Come.
No!
Come and sit down.
I'm so sorry but I really need to go.
I'll be back!
It's okay.
I'll be back!
So what did I really understand from all that he said?
Or?
But this is just a shrine.
Hey!
What's chasing you?
It's all right.
No one's chasing me.
I found it.
You found what?
I found the house!
You found the house?!
Yes.
The house we're looking for.
I've found it!
Are you sure?
I'm sure, you're kidding?
Of course I'm sure.
I saw it with my two naked eyes!
Just what my mother told me!
It looks exactly the way it is on the map.
I saw it there.
Guess what?
It's Adwubi's house!
Hey goons,
where's the Prof?
The prof is sleeping.
He took alcohol and it's knocked him out.
Okay, good.
Listen,
we've found the place
where the statue is.
Wow.
The idol.
So,
we are going there right now to get it.
Do you understand?
By the time we return,
make sure you'd have our bags packed
because we'd be heading out immediately.
Do you understand?
Yeah.
Perfect.
Lets go.
See what I told you?
Look at that stupid professor.
He thinks he knows something.
He told them to drive us,
now he will not know where we live.
Idiot.
Goons!
Making us as if we're servants.
But you
it seems as if you hate that man.
I don't like him.
Why?
When you see his face,
you know that he's trouble.
He's trouble.
Let's go and find,
That's it.
My God.
It's so beautiful.
It's so beautiful.
Pick it up.
What?
Pick it up.
You want me to pick this up?
Yes.
That thing looks scary.
I can't pick it up.
You pick it up!
Mario,
That's an order.
Pick it up.
Pick it up!
Don't push me.
It's burned you?
It's okay.
Oh God
Let's go.
Sir Frank,
errm
There's something I'll like to talk to you about.
It's very important.
I think it's about time we told you the truth.
We are
not here on any charity project
and we don't work for any NGO unfortunately.
Hey!
Sir Frank,
you lied to me?
Everything you told me were lies?
Yes.
You lied to me.
You lied to the king
Yes.
Why?
I'm sorry.
Sorry for what?
But I'd like you to hear me out
Okay?
So for what purpose are you here?
Good.
You see my mother,
she's a sorcerer,
Sorcerer?
Yes.
And a great one at that.
But
she wants to become the
greatest of all sorcerers in the world.
And not just the greatest,
and the most powerful but
the richest too.
And for her to achieve that feat,
she needs something
that belongs here in Africa
in a country called Ghana.
In this village of yours.
In the house of Adwubi.
Adwubi?
Yes, Adwubi.
That's where the power resides
and we need that power.
Sir Frank,
What exactly do you want?
Kankan Nyame?!
Yes, Kankan Nyame
Do you want Kankan Nyame?
Yes.
Hey , no.
Sir Frank,
I'm telling you,
you can never get this!
This is for our ancestors!
Our gods!
Among all the gods we have here,
Kankan Nyame is the most powerful.
He's more powerful than all the other gods!
Please,
as for this one,
you'll not get it.
Prof, Prof.
Prof, do you what this is?
Dollars?
Yes, dollars.
Dollars?
Yes and it's all yours.
That's just a token.
Us Dollars?
It's just a token.
It's absolutely nothing.
Wow.
So Prof, listen
if you're going to accept our deal
we promise we are gonna build you,
any house of your choice.
We are also going to give you two million US dollars.
Two million dollars!
And finally,
we'll also make sure when we're going back
we'll take you along with us to Europe!
Wow!
Yeah!
Damn!
Two million dollars.
Goons,
accept this
This will keep you big for life.
You'll never be poor again.
Take it and do what they're asking you to do.
Please,
Let me think first,
Two million?
Kankan Nyame?
Money?
An idol?
No.
No!
After all that Kankan Nyame
has done for us in this village,
our protection,
in all our ways
Kankan Nyame has been with us.
Am I going to follow money
and sell Kankan Nyame
to these white men?
I cannot sell Kankan Nyame
to these white men
because of money - dollars.
No.
Prof.
This is an opportunity
for you to be rich
great
wealthy
get properties everywhere
in the world.
Nobody will challenge you.
And Prof,
you know?
You can become the king.
With this!
Money?
Yes.
This one
wood.
This is dollar.
Money!
He's powerful.
He protects us.
Dollar
more powerful.
Take it.
He's lying.
No, I'll stand my ground.
I'll will not agree.
Two million US dollars is a lot of money.
Yes, I know
two million dollars is a lot.
That's what I'm thinking about.
It's
Professor,
Yes, sir Frank.
I'm going to up the offer.
I'll make it five million dollars.
Five million?!
Sorry.
Here.
That's it.
That's it.
This?
Yeah.
This one?
Yeah, that one!
Mario,
this is small.
Take it and go.
Come on take it and let's go.
If you're not scared of it then get it.
No, no, no...
I'm never scared.
How can I be scared?
You take it.
You are a native.
You're of the land.
Yeah.
We are foreigners
so I think it recognizes that we are foreigners
and it wouldn't allow us to take it but you
you are a native.
You can easily just take it.
Forget strong man.
Forget about native.
Anybody can take it,
taking it is easy.
No!
It's just firewood.
You're an African man.
You're strong and you've got the powers.
Go on!
Why are you scared of this?
It's just a doll.
African men are strong.
You're strong man,
Get it!
You fear?
Who? Me?
Never in my life!
I'll never!
Me?!
That's the spirit.
From here,
you can ask anybody.
Good so
should I carry it for you or?
No, carry it for us.
You just take it.
Yes, go.
Yes, just tell her.
Go ahead.
Adwubi,
Adwubi Kete,
honestly,
when we talk about beauty
the creator has endowed you with it.
In this whole village,
when we talk about a beautiful woman
we cannot overlook you.
so when I say that your name suits you then it is so.
Your face structure,
I don't know what to say about it every time I see you.
We need not even mention your bosom.
How much more down there.
Adwubi Kete,
the white man is sitting beside me.
I often say that
in this village,
if a white man comes here
and wants a woman
to be friends with
we cannot overlook you.
Professor, I know what I'm saying.
If a white man comes into this village,
that he wants a woman for a friend
Adwubi Kete,
it can never go over you.
The white man wants a woman to marry
and have kids with
Adwubi Kete,
You are the one
because there's no one besides you.
In this entire village,
all the women are half-beings
some are quarter but you're full.
The white man wants me to tell you that
he is interested in you
to marry you.
Professor!
Hey!
This is what I hate about women!
Listen,
you already know whether you like him or not.
Your answer should be either yes or no.
Yes or No.
Professor,
Well, your skins look very much alike.
If we have children!
So what are you telling me?
I like him too!
You like him too?
Hey!
Adwubi?
God will punish you!
So, am I not a man?
Adwubi
for all these years I've been
talking to you as a professor.
A graduate man like me.
that you're aware.
we've been chatting
back to back.
Just the two of us.
You've been putting me aside
I like you and wants to marry you as a professor
but you said no
but this guy arrived not to so long ago and you like him?
Professor,
Is he a man?!
This...
Is this a human being?!
This thing sitting here,
Is it because of his fair-skin?
The albino?
This?!
Is this how men look?
Is this how men look?
Look at a man's hand.
She says she also loves you.
She has an interest in you.
She loves you too.
Okay.
Do you errh
finish?
Okey doke.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
errm
thank you so much for accepting my proposal.
I am
I'm blown away
and to be honest
and errm
do you mind if I hug you?
What did he say?
He says thank you.
Hug him!
He says thank you for accepting his love proposal.
That's enough!
She says you're hugging her for too long.
Thank you.
So we'll be taking our leave
and probably you should come
come over to our place to visit later on
or I could come here.
Whichever works for you.
Okay.
He says he won't say too much.
First, he thanks you
for accepting his proposal and making his joy complete.
Again,
he'll return home to get things ready
and he's wondering if he'd come over here tonight
or you'd rather come over.
I'll come over.
Ouch!
Who goes there?!
Wow that was some errh
It was so nice, was it?
You're smiling.
Prof!
You in there?
He's oh, okay
I thought you were sleeping.
Oh Prof,
oh so sorry.
So sorry to disturb you.
I was deeply asleep.
Yes, sorry about that
I was like errm
she probably wants to say goodbye.
Sir Frank, are you okay?
Yeah... yeah!
Are you sure?
Oh absolutely!
Did everything go well?
Oh it was
it was awesome.
Adwubi
he's saying that you did great
so he thanks you for visiting him.
It's late so you can go home by yourself, right?
Professor,
tell him it's late.
Yes, it's late so you have to go home.
I want to sleep over.
Hey!
Adwubi!
You'll sleep over?
After all that you did?
I never knew this about you Adwubi,
that all this while you've been
running around here meekly,
you were this skilled in bed.
Such awesome responses!
I was deeply asleep but your responses woke me up.
All the noises you've made here
you still want to sleep over?
Professor,
were you spying on us?
Just as we said
that thing right there.
if you're able to pick it up for us to leave with it
you've made a huge score
and so have I.
We are rich.
We'll no longer stay here!
We'll go abroad with him to live our lives
then we'll be able to take care of our families
for a successful future.
Pick it up and let's go.
I'm telling her to pick it up.
Good.
Just go!
Just do it.
What's wrong?
You
you're the custodian
it'll be lenient on you.
Just go.
He said you're the custodian of this shrine,
Keep quiet.
Look!
Did you think it were easy?
Let's go.
Adwubi,
Now,
here are all the items.
Are they all here?
These are all the items my father showed me
and I've put them together and brought them here.
And when we go,
I'll undress and put these on.
You'll wear these?
I'll tie this around my body.
When we get to the forest,
we'll pluck palm fronds
and put them in our mouths.
I'll walk facing front.
he'll walk with his back turned.
And what about me?
You'll walk facing front too.
Professor,
we are done so you can go.
You've finished everything?
There's nothing more?
I think
she's the one!
She's the one?!
Yes!
I think she's the one!
That's good.
Yes.
She's the one.
She's coming!
Awesome!
She made it!
Give it to me!
What's wrong?
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
We are so happy.
Thank you so very much.
But we don't have time
we need to take it out!
Right about now.
He said there's no time so we need to leave now.
Okay!
Let's go!
Bags!
Goons.
Hey, did you take everything?
Yeah, everything.
Are you sure?
Goons.
You've taken everything?
Everything.
Did you take everything?
Yeah.
Okay let's go!
Hey, I forgot my shades.!
Your what?
Specs!
What the hell?
Let's go home.
Can't you see at night?
Shades!
Okay, let's go!
Chief priest.
Chief priest.
Talk to us!
There's trouble.
What is it?
Kankan Nyame is missing.
Kankan Nyame has gone missing?
Where Kankan Nyame is housed
when I went there to check on it,
Kankan Nyame was not there.
Who could touch Kankan Nyame?
It's not where it usually is?
It's not there.
I've searched everywhere.
Kankan Nyame is not there.
Chief priest
Do you think a stranger could take
Kankan Nyame without his knowledge?
Please, with all due respect,
no stranger can come and take Kankan Nyame
unless a ritual is performed.
He has to perform a ritual before he can take Kankan Nyame.
Is that so?
Stop what you're doing and talk to me.
Nobody can pick up Kankan Nyame,
so then how did Kankan Nyame leave his abode?
Chief priest,
are you sure you haven't told anyone how to pick up Kankan Nyame?
Or haven't you discussed it with anyone?
I haven't done so but I remember that my daughter Adwubi
Yes?
A few days ago
she got me drunk,
where did you get this drink?
Professor gave it to me.
When she gave me the drink and I became drunk
she started asking me about it.
If someone wants to touch it
what should she do?
If you want to touch Kankan Nyame,
you need to perform a ritual.
I explained everything to her to the point
and the ritual involved if one wants to pick it up.
Finally,
as a woman
you need a man whom you love
to perform the ritual with
before you can
lay a hand on Kankan Nyame.
I didn't think about the possibility of this happening,
but I thought that perhaps one day I'd travel
and she could perform the ritual in my absence
and that's why I told her all about it.
Have you asked Adwubi then?
When this happened,
I can't find Adwubi.
I've searched everywhere I had to.
I've been to all her friends to look for her
but they all haven't seen Adwubi.
Then if both Kankan Nyame and Adwubi are missing
then Adwubi has taken him!
A great tragedy has befallen this village!
And this village is in peril!
The great idol that we worship!
Kankan Nyame
the white men who came here,
and some members of this village have connived
and stolen Kankan Nyame.
Great gods of our land!
All thirty-seven gods!
Wherever Kankan Nyame has gotten to!
Chase them and return it back to this village!
For this great tragedy that has befallen us
we cannot contain it.
Where it's gotten to,
it's not my power,
nor somebody else's power,
but
the battle for the gods.
Wherever it is.
Wherever it's reached,
cause them to return it!
Kankan Nyame!
Return!
Wherever you've reached,,
return home!
Kankan Nyame! Return!
Kankan Nyame!
What is it?
Antelope or grass-cutter?!
Look.
It's very ugly.
I don't know what it is but it's very ugly.
Why have we stopped?
Let's just rest.
What?
Let's just rest.
Rest?
We should rest here?
Yeah.
Sir Frank?
Yeah.
You want to rest here?
Yes, we'll rest here.
In this forest?
Yes.
In this evil forest?
What?
Nobody can rest right now.
Let me tell you.
I knew this forest before you came.
My people
ancestors
told us that if something is chasing you
and it doesn't stop
neither must you.
You should keep running!
Keep going and you'd be safe.
How can you just say we should stop here to rest?
Professor.
You say you're a professor,
If you're a professor
you should know the difference
between an old man and a young man.
I don't have the strength to run again!
I'll stay here.
If death wants to catch me
let it catch me here.
I am not going with you people.
I'll stay here and rest.
When I finish resting,
I'll go.
They pay you and that's why you're goons.
I'm paid to die.
They pay me to die.
I am not going again.
If I want to die,
let me die here.
Professor, let me just tell you!
You,
he's very right!
We are old!
You should consider old age!
Look at my waist.
Look at my legs.
I can't even walk again!
Im tired!
If you want to rest then rest,
I don't care.
My sister and I
we'll leave here.
We'll go.
Rest here and die!
I don't care.
It's okay.
It's all right.
He's right, you know?
He understands the forest more than we do.
Yes.
So if he says that it's not safe
here then it's definitely not safe.
We should just continue.
Until we find somewhere safe to stay, okay?
Come on guys.
Let's go.
Let's go but if you don't go,
you can rest here and die.
Hey, come on let's go.
We won't die.
Let's go!
Hey!
Let's go!
Hey!
Where are you going with the idol?
Hurry and take it back where you took it!
Hurry!
Who's this?
Hey, sir Frank!
What?
Our ancestors.
Your what?
Our ancestors!
The gods!
Ancestors?
Yes!
He's a bloody dwarf!
He said that the god we took
I should warn you to go and put it back!
If not he'll kill us.
No, he can't do anything.
This is just a bloody dwarf!
He's a demon!
A very powerful demon!
Hurry and take it back!
What is it saying?!
He said I should take it back!
He's a very powerful demon!
Oh please, I don't believe in these mumbo-jumbo!
Shoot him!
Shoot this bloody dwarf!
Master!
Shoot this bloody dwarf!
Master,
Shoot it!
You said I should shoot?
Pull the trigger!
It's just a figure!
Master, I'm finished!
Incompetence!
Give me the gun!
Master!
Sir Frank!
Stop!
Frank!
Stop!
Give me the gun!
Frank!
Where did he go?
Frank!
Get out of there!
You see?
Sir Frank?
You see?
He's our ancestor!
Do you know what a dwarf is?
It's a dwarf!
Dwarf.
I can see it's a bloody dwarf.
He's a serious demon!
Let's go!
Let's go home.
I'm traveling to make money.
Let's go!
I'm traveling!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Hey!
Hey,
let's go!
Up!
Up!
It's sweet.
Yeah.
You are an African man.
You like food a lot.
You're enjoying it.
Too much.
You like food!
If you enter the bush.
No food.
Yeah.
This food was made by God.
God prepared it.
[God prepared it.
This is cocoa?
Yeah cocoa, yeah.
This guy can eat.
Hey!
Again?!
- You're heaven!
- Get back!
This bloody dwarf again?
Yes, again.
You are stubborn, right?
When I warned you to return
the idol to where you took it,
you didn't hear me?!
I'll show you that I am evil!
Give me the gun!
Hey!
Give me the gun!
Gun again?!
Sir Frank,
gun again?
Hey!
Professor...
Just look at this,
what's the meaning of all this?
Let's go back home.
You allowed this dwarf to beat us as if we were animals!
Hey, we'll return home!
We'll not follow him into our graves.
I agree with you!
We must return home!
Let them keep their money!
Please, she says
she doesn't want to go with you again.
What?
Now, we are going home.
I am also going home.
We'll take our idol back home with us.
You can also take yours and go.
Are you serious?
Yes, I'm serious!
Someone beat us!
You know!
Take a look at my back.
It's bruised.
All right,
Calm down everybody.
Just calm down.
I know you all are really scared,
scared out of your bonkers.
I totally understand.
Well, listen.
The bloody dwarf only has
his powers in this bloody forest!
Once we get out of this forest
and we get into the city,
he won't have any powers over us.
He won't be able to find us
and then we'd be able to escape
to the place I promised you all.
All right?
Just calm down.
Let's get to the city and that
dwarf will have no more powers.
No, we won't calm down!
Take your promises!
Because I am not a kid!
I'm a professor!
Yeah.
You are so stubborn.
I said don't use gun again!
Please,
it's okay.
I won't go to UK or Europe again!
It's okay, please.
Please,
- No!
- Remember!
I promised you a good life!
I promised her a good life!
I told her I was going to take care of her
and take her to London!
I told you..!
We won't go, my friend!
And I told you guys,
you goons,
I promised you I was going
to give you some good money,
and everything!
And here you are...
Hey!
Hey!
We can go now!
Let's go now!
Guys!
Let's go now!
Let's go!
You goons, get up!
- Pick it up!
- Get up!
Get up.
I tried to talk to you all
like matured-minded people but no
you wouldn't have it.
You want the gun so you get the gun!
Let's go!
You goons too!
Bloody goons!
You were supposed to protect me!
Emeka, are we not going?
I promise you,
you aren't getting no penny!
No penny for any of you!
Pay attention!
That bloody dwarf has no power
outside the city.
I was telling you, professor
I told you,
I promised you I was going to give you a good life
but you won't listen.
How have I wronged you, white man?
English,
English,
What have I done to you?
You came to me.
I'll do good to you but today
you're doing bad to me.
How?
If you do good,
you do for yourself
if you do bad
you do for yourself.
You're treating me badly.
I did a good thing for you
so how can you betray me?
I betrayed you?
Yes, you put a gun on me!
Yes because you won't listen!
I told you that listen to me
and that when we got to the city,
I was going to give you a good life,
take you outside and give you a good life,
away from that village you're coming from!
And you!
just know that you've been kidnapped.
- What's he saying?
- You've been kidnapped.
And all you bloody goons,
that I gave all the goddamn money,
and then here you are
trying to rip me off and back-stab me!
You're not getting no penny from me!
I can assure you.
Move!
Is this not Sir Frank?
- What's he saying?
- Move!
Your case is worse!
Go get their guns.
What?
Give me the gun.
Hey!
Put it down.
Drop it.
Master!
Water.
Throat
dry.
Do you want me to repeat myself?
Professor,
Yes.
Have you seen what you've caused?
What have I done?
Have you seen what you've caused?
What have I done?
You tricked me into stealing this thing
Once we get to town,
I have a car waiting for us in the city.
It's going to take us straight to the harbor
and it's just going to be me and you.
Okay.
We'll dispose of these guys right here.
This is why people will leave their land
come here
steal our culture
steal our gods,
steal our heritage
steal our edifices,
give us money and we'll take and sell Africa.
Is it good?
Chibuzor,
Keep quiet.
I'm going to hit your mouth with my elbow!
Here you are today!
Africans!
This is why we are in this position today!
Our terrible mindsets,
I'll kill them all.
Do something,
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I mean?
That's a good idea.
Just dispose of them.
Yeah.
I'll like that one dead.
It's exactly what we are going to do.
When we meet new people,
we tend to follow them around
then ignore the people we know.
We live in the same village with you
as a professor
I kept proposing love to you till I
ran out of words to say to woo you.
I had no words left.
You rejected my proposal.
When you met a white man
this white man,
you fell for his promises of love and marriage.
You even grew to trust
him even more than us.
This is where you've ended up today.
I'll regret this all my life.
Chibuzor, I'm ashamed of ourselves.
Don't go away.
I've got us all covered.
We'll take the god,
all right?
Yeah.
then we'll just dispose of them.
But he's good looking.
He's good looking?
The rest of the men in the village are monkeys.
We are not good looking.
You were discriminating against us
and this is where you've ended up today.
You are also partly to blame
weren't you the one who brought them around?
The most painful part of it all is
he has taught me a bitter lesson.
He has conned me very well!
How much I trusted him and
We've been warned not to talk!
Won't you lower your voice?
How well I related to him,
I mean I came to love him
and we did everything together
but he had bad intentions for us.
Just because of small money.
Small money
Look at where we are.
He deceived us.
I regret it!
They are not whites.
They are wicked people.
Just as a black man can be wicked,
they are wicked.
Shall we start with the goons?
I regret it!
Hey!
No side talks!
Yes.
No side talks.
Just a little bit more.
Are you talking about me?
No, no!
We are talking about our history!
You better be!
Yeah, better be!
He said "Bola" what?
No, Boris B.
The poultry farmer.
This bloody dwarf!
You these wicked people are stubborn, right?!
You are stubborn?
I'll show you that there's something in this world!
I will show you that iron sharpens iron!
You must die!
Hands up!
No!
Hands up!
We're with you!
Africa, one Africa!
Hands up!
Hey!
Now, I'm the commander here!
Yes.
I'm the leader here!
The gun you used
to threaten us!
Now,
we'll use it
it's for me.
Yes, we'll take our idol.
It's yours.
You, white people!
You have disappointed them!
You're so wicked!
Hey brother!
You know that's a gun you're holding, yeah?
Yes.
Be careful with that.
That's a weapon.
I know!
I know!
Okay.
But you white people
you're so wicked!
Very wicked!
Especially, you Sir Frank!
You came to us
you've disappointed me!
And you've disappointed my people!
Yes.
Now, you've given me problem
and you've destroyed my sister's life too!
He gave all of us problems!
You planned to come here to steal our gods
and return to your country!
Hold on!
Hold on a second!
Are you sure you're a professor?
Yes,
I'm a professor!
Yeah but his English is so appalling.
I barely understand what you're saying!
Not your business!
Well,
Did you think we were goons?!
You are goons now.
In fact you're "Goonsies"!
Now!
Hands up!
All right?
You are going back to our people!
Oh no.
No.
The way you stole our gods,
We are all going back!
So,
Okay, you know what
professor, listen
don't do that.
Come on.
You know what?
Let's have a bargain, yeah?
You go to your people
and let me go to...
Shut up!
It's enough.
Where do you want to go?
You won't go anywhere!
Yes.
We'll take you back to my people
because you stole!
You stole our gods!
No!
We...
You and I stole the god!
Who?!
Hey!
My friend you're mad!
You are crazy!
Yes.
You're crazy!
Hey, my friend!
Go!
If you try anything
I'll kill you!
Oh no.
I swear on my mother that I'll kill you!
My brother, it won't get to that.
You know...
Turn!
Turn around!
Don't shout at me.
Sorry.
I'm the leader.
Yes.
Yes, he's the leader, yeah?
Shut up!
Go!
Bag!
I promise you,
I'm a good man!
What?
You know I'm a good man.
Come on!
You?!
Yeah!
Go!
Go!
You call us goons!
We're Africans!
Chief priest,
How far with the matter?
Okay, your highness
thank you.
The way things are
I have offered libation
and spoken to the gods
and what they're saying is that
we should leave this battle to them.
They will take care of this battle.
Just as the elders say
Professor!
How are you?
Are you asking how I'm doing?
Hey, what's your problem?!
Let go of him!
So you have hurt us this way?
Which hurt?
Professor!
Palace guard!
So you have hurt us this way?
Which hurt?
Which hurt?
You'll smell pepper!
You have made us suffer so much in this town?!
Hey!
Listen!
We have returned it!
What have you returned?
We have returned the idol!
What are you also standing there for?!
Have you seen?
Have you seen the kind of problem you've given me?!
Have you seen the kind of
problem you've given me, sir Frank?!
King!
The thieves are coming!
Which thieves?!
The thieves!
Which thieves?!
The thieves are coming!
They are coming, king!
It's Prof!
Where's the professor?
He's on his way here with the white men.
They are coming here?
They are coming
My king,
It's not easy!
We met them on our way to the farm.
They are coming?
They will be here soon?
This issue,
Do you mean Prof?
Professor!
Are the goons also included?
They are!
They are carrying guns.
What surprised me most was that
I saw them carrying a little duffel at their side.
Yes, the gods have performed miraculously!
There they are!
Move!
Silence!
Professor!
My king.
Professor!
My king,
why is it that a good citizen such as yourself,
sold your brain,
your wisdom
for these white people
and they have wronged us this way?
Why did you do that?
My king,
Professor,
what you did was very wrong!
I was wrong, my king.
It wasn't my fault.
Whose fault is it then?!
It wasn't my fault.
This white man
that we thought were white
men but rather are wicked men
they are wicked men indeed!
They do wicked things to the African continent!
They harm the country Ghana
and the people in it as well!
They harm the African people.
It's all deceit!
I was deceived!
Sir Frank deceived me, my king!
I had no idea!
They said they were coming to help this community
to develop.
Our school,
light issues
our water,
hospital, my king
not knowing it was all lies.
He deceived me.
He flattered me
and told me lies.
They spoke English with me.
He taught me stuff!
He flattered me and gave me stuff to eat!
not knowing he was deceiving me all along.
I had no idea.
They promised me five million dollars!
I sold you all for five million US dollars.
My king,
But at the end
they failed to give me the money.
It was all a lie!
The school
potable water
he was lying.
They had nothing for us.
It was rather Kankan Nyame
that we worship in this village,
that some people even disregard Kankan Nyame,
desecrate it
the filthy things we do
and disrespect it,
My king,
they came all the way from the
United Kingdom to steal Kankan Nyame!
[CROWED SCREAMS
Professor!
You are an accomplice, professor!
Things are going well for them!
They build planes,
ships,
they make great inventions.
They've realized that it's powerful.
They came with a sheet to search for the idol.
Had they taken it away,
this is the reason America and its neighborhood countries
are progressing.
They are making great inventions.
They are producing ships,
planes and many more
but we don't have anything in this country!
It's because of the power we possess in Africa
and in Ghana,
the whites have purchased them all
and they're using that power to help them develop.
It's giving them wisdom,
knowledge,
that is it, my king.
It was all a lie.
This Sir Frank even threatened to kill me.
It was the gods who brought us home safely
so we have returned Kankan Nyame.
We have returned it!
This therefore means that
African countries should be content with what we have!
That's true, elder!
These whites came here to deceive us!
They came for a loan
but they rather came to steal one's valuables!
They've sold all our powers.
The witchcraft that we possess,
we use it to backbite one another
we don't want others to succeed.
We wish somebody was dead,
sick,
failed,
had a collapsed business
we wish others were dead!
That's what happens here!
The white man has visions!
When he purchases the power,
he uses it to make great inventions.
He builds an excavator,
everything!
Then he employs us as slaves!
Transformer and everything!
African continent must be careful!
The country Ghana must be careful!
Let us not take our culture for granted!
Let us appreciate what we have!
The people,
politics and everything!
Let us appreciate what we have
for Africa as something valuable!
I'll confess more!
Let us listen to him!
Silence!
Prof is a thief!
Adwubi!
Don't come close to me!
Adwubi!
Why did you disgrace me so?!
Father, here it is!
What?
It wasn't my fault, father.
I'm going to break your arm.
Professor!
What?
Allow her to speak!
Let's listen to her!
He deceived me.
Me?
Yes!
He told me to steal the idol for the white me
and they'll take me abroad!
Silence!
Hey Adwubi!
I'll invoke a curse on you!
Father,
he again made me have sex with this one!
It's true!
Your highness,
Go ahead and speak Professor!
I beg you my king,
Silence!
You cannot stand before the
chiefs and vow to invoke a curse!
Please, she's lying!
The truth is,
she knows the difference between right and wrong!
True.
Because she has no respect for the men here,
You're lying!
Allow him to speak!
I'll beat her up!
My king,
she got closer to this white man
and this white man too
had sex with her.
So she did all that he asked.
She fell in love with him and it wasn't my doing.
My king,
I was minding my business
and not thinking about that.
Aside all the men in this village, Adwubi
all whom have proposed love to you,
including I who have proposed to her over thirty times,
she didn't accept me.
Even Oppong proposed to
her but she rejected him as well.
There are men in this village but they disrespect us.
The women here disregard us.
They respect strangers more than we the natives.
They disregard us!
God has punished you!
You sold your father's idol for five million
dollars and you want to blame it on me!
What did I do?!
You're lying!
Was I included when you were enjoying yourself?
Silence!
Ask Awurama,
he's lying!
Hey!
Was I involved with you having sex with her?!
He's lying!
Look,
Africa,
God Almighty gave valuable resources.
He has blessed us with properties as well!
But these white men have used deceit,
to rob us of these resources by deceiving us with money
and other things
and we've sold our brains,
wisdom
and our resources to them and today
they are making great inventions in their countries
and they'll export them here to sell to us.
Why are we just allowing this to happen?
Let us be content with our cultures and traditions.
Our Akwasiddae,
Dapaah
Kwabena
Awukwudae and others.
Let us be content with them!
Every time we have to offer libation,
let us do so.
Well said!
And if we do such things...
It is twisted but not broken!
Well said!
Africa will recover.
Well said!
Now,
with everything professor and your people did,
it has all come to an end.
It has all been laid bare.
Now,
what I'm saying is
these Nigerians who have joined us
take these so-called white people to prison
and later
we'll deal with them!
And as for you professor and Adwubi,
after we had dealt with them,
we'll have a word with you.
So you and the Nigerians should take them to prison!
Hey sir Frank!
You!
I'm telling you!
You've disappointed me!
You've given me problems
now, the king has revealed everything to me,
after you're sent to jail
he'll deal with me,
you are going to prison!
You're going to cell!
No food!
No water!
No shit!
No fart!
No urination!
After all this,
I'll come to the prison,
one on one
I'll beat you!
I swear to God!
You!
Hey!
Goons!
Let's go!
Take them away!
"At long last the battle has ended"
"Ghana"
"Your beloved country"
"Is free forever."
