Joint Venture (2024) Movie Script
Thank you so much. Thank you.
On behalf of
the family of Mr and Mrs Oluwole Adejobi,
once again, I welcome you.
- Thank you.
- Oluwole the chief.
Olabode the prince.
Yeah.
You see, by God's grace...
I am saying it again, by God's grace,
we will use our hands
to accept our blessings.
Amen.
By the time we all retire,
- we will not retire to death.
- Amen!
We will not retire to sickness.
Amen.
It's not yet time,
let's just continue. Let's continue.
Food and everything is surplus.
Right now, I want to call the
celebrant himself to come and address us.
Yeah!
Thank you everybody. Thank you.
Oluwole the chief.
Olabode... Olabode the prince.
- Take care madam. Congratulations.
- Yeah.
Just look at my father.
Look at how daddy is
bouncing like an 18 year old.
His wife also followed
him to protect her property.
What do you expect?
That's why I always tell you
Seye took after your dad
with his stride and style.
I am sure when he was young,
he was a bad nigga.
Are you okay? My father is a bad nigga?
Are you serious at all?
What happened?
How about Seye? I've not seen him.
Seye can't come, he is still in America.
You know I told you
he went there for a course.
- Yeah! No wonder. Oh, no wonder.
- It's keeping him busy.
If Seye was around,
he would bring in a hip-hop artist.
- You know my younger brother very well.
- I trust Seye.
I must dearly confess to you,
I'm overwhelmed.
I am very happy.
They say, the eyes that saw evil and
didn't go blind was waiting for goodness.
- Yes. Yes.
- Isn't it?
We are grateful.
- In good health and wealth will one grow.
- Yes.
We've grown in it
and have left a good legacy.
Thanks be to God. May yours not be ruined.
Amen!
What I just want to tell us is that
you see, responsible
behavior is very important.
Good character is very important
because whatever character
you exhibit in your prime is
what will determine what
you will reap in your old age.
Oh, yes.
We're seeing it now and
we're grateful it is the way it is.
For this reason,
please exhibit good behavior.
Whatever job you do, do it honestly.
Whatever you do, do it with consideration.
Thank you very much.
- Continue clapping.
- Thank you.
Thank you!
We let the celebrant do it.
Now at this juncture,
we want to make a toast.
Yes, we want to give a toast.
The person who will coordinate
that, Banky Osha! Banky Ohsa!
Hello.
Please give
Mr Bankole a round of applause.
Yeah.
One who teaches, is a what?
- Is a teacher!
- Is a teacher.
And what about one who cooks?
- He's a toaster.
- He's not a cooker.
- And one who toasts is a...
- Is a toaster!
- Is a toaster.
- So I am a toaster.
We will sing one song before we toast.
We all have a cup with us, right?
- Yes.
- And drinks to pour in it right?
Yes.
Bodmas,
- stay by my side.
- Alright.
This is friendship though.
- Mischief makers.
- Mischief makers.
- Stay by my side.
- Okay.
Both of them can implicate someone.
You will get up and help me sing one song,
after singing,
you will pour a drink into the cup.
When I say you should toast,
you will do that. Don't let it break.
Avoid breakages.
Please let's stand.
For he is a jolly good fellow
For he is a jolly good fellow
For he is a jolly good fellow!
And so say all of us
-And so say all of us
-Hurray!
For he is a jolly good fellow
For he is a jolly good fellow!
Hurray!
And so say all of us, hurray!
Thank you!
Let's clap!
Bodmas!
Oluwole, pay them no mind
Oluwole, let them talk
Let them gossip
Let them talk
Let them gossip,
Pay them no mind, let them gossip
-Oluwole
-Banky, the big man!
Banky the big man!
-Oluwole the chief
-We can be retirees,
- but we cannot be tired.
- Congratulations
Oluwole, congratulations on today!
Congratulations to all of us.
Including Banky and Bode,
and Oluwole. Congratulations to all of us.
From now on let
everything keep going smoothly.
It would go smoothly
but we can't wait and watch.
A singer says it best, in life people are
now more calculative than emotional.
- They are more calculative?
- They are.
It's true we're retired,
but we can't get tired.
We can't get tired.
You see, because I was thinking
it's best to look for a business to do.
- That's right. That's right.
- Isn't that right?
We're still very agile.
There's still agility in us.
Money must be added to.
If you don't add
to money it will get finish.
- It would finish.
- It would finish.
- May God not let it finish.
- We'll cry if it finishes.
- May God not let us cry.
- That's right.
- Amen.
- Yes. That's the reality.
Once a monkey lands it runs off.
- We'll think of what we can do.
- Yeah.
You know me for that. When it comes to
business I think like, what is going on?
Bode the prince.
Oluwole the chief.
- Olabode the prince.
- How are you?
Yes?
- Well done.
- What happened?
- Congratulations on today's event.
- Thank you.
- I thought you had gone.
- No. Ah!
I wanted the party to end
so I could discuss with you quickly.
While we were talking the other time
and you spoke about doing business.
You know me now,
I started thinking about different things.
Immediately I knew where we were going.
Instantly!
They want to bring in some goods
into the country, it's importation.
It's importation
I'm talking about right now.
That's the business
I think we can do quickly.
It's tiles.
Once it gets here, that set
of tiles are not in this country.
We will be the first to take the delivery.
So, we are gonna make a lot of money.
Bode,
let's leave
the talk for now, let's not rush.
I am not in a rush.
Yes, we shouldn't. We're all tired now.
Go and sleep then I will sleep as well.
When it involves work, I don't get tired.
I don't hear anything
that involves work and get tired.
And it's not about us rushing,
we're not rushing.
What I am thinking of is
that if we get hold of it now,
others will not be able to take it.
Because the condition we will
give to them is that we're to be
the major distributor and
they shouldn't give it to someone else.
Bode I understand you.
I am tired, you should be tired as well.
Go and sleep then I'll sleep too.
Later we will discuss it. Okay?
Okay, no problem.
- I can understand.
- Yeah.
- I know you must be really tired.
- Okay.
I can call you,
I can call you before we sleep.
Don't bother calling me, I would have
slept off and I will put off my phone.
Okay, I have heard you.
Alright.
- My regards to your wife.
- I will tell her.
Ah, I'm tired.
I'm so tired. So tired.
As it is now sir, it's obvious that
we can't make less than 500 million naira
if we invest 300 million naira
in the business.
Five hundred million naira?
Yes sir, and the money
will be made within two months.
- Really?
- Yes.
What you're trying to tell me is
that if we invest
- 300 million naira...
- Yes.
...within two months
we will make 500 million naira?
Yeah. I'm even just saying
two months for the sake of it.
It's possible that it might
not be up to two months at all.
- Are you sure?
- Hundred percent sure, sir.
It's not my first time at all.
- You've been doing it a while?
- Very well.
And you've gotten the results?
Countless times.
That sounds interesting.
- Okay then.
- So...
- What's stopping us?
- What's stopping us is nothing other than,
you know, it's a joint business
so you will drop 150 million naira
and I will also drop 150 million naira.
Once it's complete then we can kick off.
My money is available already.
- Really?
- Yes.
- In that case, what's the problem?
- Okay.
You will get
my 150 million naira tomorrow.
- Oh!
- Yeah.
Very good sir, tomorrow will be perfect.
Because I have a meeting
with them tomorrow by 3:00 p.m., I think.
So I will just take the money along.
They will also be surprised
and see that we mean business.
Sure. Just give me
your details, that's all.
- Of course, I will do that now sir.
- It's a deal.
- It's a deal, sir.
- Okay.
Sir, let me forward it
to you so I don't forget.
Hello.
Calm down this man.
You're a fool for making that statement.
What are you saying?
I am talking about money and
you're telling me to calm down.
If I don't get my money within
24 hours you will be surprised.
Give me my money, I want to do another
business that is better than yours.
Send my money.
If you don't,
I will show you the stuff I am made of.
Yes! I will let you know that
I can't fight but I have people I rely on.
My children will descend on you
and you will become sane.
They will deal with you ruthlessly.
Give me my money!
Thief!
This man wants to scare a stronghold.
He has forgotten that humans use the
mortar any time of the day as they wish.
The key that opens a bank
can't open a mortuary.
Badmus.
I told you it's only a fool
that compares Sango's stone to a gun.
- For God's sake.
- Who is checking me?
- Please for God's sake.
- Who is pricing me?
Who is boiling a stone?
Anyone who boils
a stone can't boil an iron.
- Don't do that.
- Anyone who dares me dies.
- You are welcome.
- Thank you.
- Thanks for yesterday.
- Yes
All is well.
Thank you, we're grateful.
May our friendship not get ruined.
One doesn't thank family.
Where haven't we gone for each other?
- Where is this man?
- Let me get him for you.
Please do.
How is your family?
They are fine,
we're tolerating each other.
You will keep tolerating each other.
- My husband.
- Mm?
- Adunni.
- Good morning.
- I hope you're fine?
- Good morning.
Well done.
- Congratulations on yesterday's event.
- Thank you.
- We will live it in wellness.
- Amen.
- In happiness, joy and good health.
- Amen.
- You will not live in sickness.
- Amen.
I greet you too, thank you.
I am grateful.
- Don't...
- Thanks for standing by me.
- Don't mention!
- Right!
Before I forget,
your friend is downstairs.
- Which friend of mine?
- Bode the prince.
- Bode?
- Yes.
He said he wants to see you.
- Okay, I am coming.
- Okay sir.
Okay.
One, two...
I'll...
Olabode the prince.
Oluwole the chief.
Olabode the prince.
Oluwole the chief.
Tread carefully.
Definitely.
Now that we are retired,
we must tread carefully.
Yes, we must.
- How are you?
- I am fine.
There you go.
- I greet you for yesterday's event.
- Thank you.
May God give you the strength to live it.
- Amen. Sit down.
- We will spend the rest in wellness.
Amen.
We shall continue to live it.
Amen.
- You're here this morning.
- Yes.
They say if work doesn't change time,
- one doesn't make it late to work.
- Yes.
Whatever is paramount
to one is what they will focus on.
Concerning what you told me,
what we discussed yesterday.
As soon as I heard it,
- I've been working tirelessly.
- I trust you.
I have been working tirelessly on it.
What are we going to do?
I have gotten a solution.
I know what we can do.
You see...
I am coming.
Let's do it this way.
Let's see.
Wole,
I thought of a business,
it's importation.
- Really?
- Good enough,
the person that will help us bring
the goods into the country, Mr Douglas,
he is still around.
But, he is going back tomorrow.
His flight is slated for tomorrow night.
I figured this was an opportunity.
Someone who's going to bring it in for us.
We should find a way to raise money
quickly and give him part payment.
Even if we can't get all the money now,
let's give him something
so he can know we're serious.
That's why I decided to see you quickly.
Thank you.
- Bode...
- Yes?
Olabode the prince...
it seems we will
exercise patience a little bit.
- Patience?
- Yes.
This time is different
from when you were in the civil service.
Everything you want to do...
All these gratuities
and everything you were given
doesn't take time to finish.
It takes no time at all.
Any pot that one does not pour water
into regularly doesn't get filled.
It won't get filled.
Let's not waste time on it.
Let's do something as soon as possible.
Let's be patient about it.
Let's not rush into anything.
Let's exercise patience.
We shouldn't be patient.
If we're patient,
it will keep taking time.
Moreso, the dollar
keeps increasing every day.
Things keep getting expensive everyday.
We still have to be patient.
Oluwole.
I am answering you, Bode.
Aren't you interested anymore?
Something like that.
It seems like I'm not interested,
let's leave it for now.
- We should leave it for now?
- We have to leave it for now.
Leave it for now. Leave it for now how?
You were the one who told me
we should find a business to do together.
I understand and
I have said we should be patient.
Let's be patient.
Let's put... I am not interested anymore.
Is that your final decision?
I think so.
- We're not fighting, Wole.
- I am not angry.
Thank you Bode.
Alright, no problem. I have heard you.
I will look for a way to...
I won't want to disappoint myself.
Thank you very much, Bode.
- Alright.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Thank you, Bode.
Yeah.
Your friend has gone so quickly?
Yes, it was a quick one.
I was coming to ask him what he would eat.
You should have done that earlier.
You should have done that earlier.
- Really?
- Yes.
I hope there's no problem?
Why did he leave so quickly?
There is no problem.
- He came to talk to me about a business.
- Okay.
- Actually, I discussed it with him.
- Okay.
But I won't lie to you,
I am no longer interested.
- Really?
- Yes.
Both of you are friends,
but if your mind tells you
not to do it then follow your mind.
That's what I will do.
- Thank you my dear.
- Better.
Just give me tea, let me eat breakfast.
Yeah.
Exactly, sir.
That and the one I sent to you before.
If you check it and you're okay with it,
I think we should be good to go.
Alright.
Ah, no.
That's not what we discussed.
I told you earlier that
I would have to take 75% upfront.
And that's the reason
I agreed to do the work for you.
No.
See, I'm so sorry to say this
but I am a very principled person.
My yes is always yes
while my no is always no.
No.
It's either 75% or no deal, sir.
Don't be annoyed.
But if you think about it later
and think you should
give me the money as we discussed,
then
you can contact me.
Yeah. Do enjoy the rest of your day.
Alright.
Hello daddy.
Yes sir.
I hope you're also doing good?
What about mummy?
Daddy don't be annoyed,
let me ask this first.
Daddy, I hope
you're using your medications?
Thank God.
I will come.
Okay. That time is fine.
Yeah, I love you so much, daddy.
Yes sir.
- Boss.
- Richard.
- Good afternoon, sir.
- Good afternoon. How are you?
Welcome. I'm fine, sir.
Young man,
don't you understand Yoruba at all?
I understand it very well and I can speak.
But you know in the line of duty, you have
to converse in the official language.
English speakers don't die at home.
Is my daddy at home?
Absolutely. He's upstairs.
He's been in since morning.
Don't speak English to me again.
He is at home sir.
- Richie!
- Yes sir.
Daddy, I am sorry it took so long
before I came to see you.
No problem.
Some people wanted
to have a meeting with me today,
I didn't know it won't hold anymore.
I discovered their CEO
doesn't want to pay,
so I just disregarded them.
But I am very sure
that in the next one month,
they will come back to beg and find me.
I will be able to act
pompous towards them by then.
-That's good. Anyway,
-Yes sir.
Rotimi, I won't blame you.
One can only be proud of
what he knows how to do.
- Yes sir.
- That's right.
- God will continue to help you.
- Amen daddy.
Yes.
I called you because
I want to do a business.
Okay.
I don't know the exact one to do
that's why I sent for you.
Daddy,
you have choices, you shouldn't be lost.
Since you have me,
let me work on that.
I will throw you a bunch of ideas.
You can pick anyone you want.
- That's why I sent for you.
- Okay.
Because I know your capacity.
- Thank you sir.
- And I know the kind of child you are.
- Thank you, daddy.
- And I thank God for that.
How soon will it be ready?
Very soon, since it's your project.
You say what?
Because it's my project...
- Yes sir.
- or our project?
Look, you won't just give
me an idea and leave it.
No! We are in it together.
Yeah.
Daddy, are you in any way
suggesting partnership?
Exactly.
It's a partnership.
Okay! That's also good.
All the same,
I will get back to you very soon.
- Really? Very soon?
- Yes sir.
- It must not take long.
- No, it won't take long.
If one is ready, time shouldn't be wasted.
- Alright sir. Yes sir.
- Okay?
I know you hustle here and there
but don't let it take time.
Alright daddy.
- I still want to see mummy upstairs.
- Why not?
- Go and meet your mother.
- Yes sir.
Go and meet your mother.
You good?
Yes, I am. Thanks babe.
Why are you thanking me?
I asked you to join me and you refused.
I have done my own for God's sake.
Thank you all the same.
Seye-bobo!
Big brother, what's up?
I am in God's hands, what about you?
We are also fine here.
Big brother, what happened?
Your mother called me
to plead with you to get married.
Marry?
Don't mind mummy.
Which lady is good
out there that one can marry?
- I...
- What!
Hello.
Hello.
I can hear you, bro.
Seye,
the network is bad. I have spoken wrongly
but there's no cause for alarm.
I will call you back.
Babe!
Babe!
Sewa,
you're not serious at all.
Is it me you and your husband are mocking?
You both are mocking me, right?
Don't worry, no problem.
I'll remember this.
You will come back and meet me.
Once you come back,
I'll show you my true colors.
Really? Alright, there's no problem.
I hope you're fine?
Give the phone to your husband
so he can talk to his dad.
Give him the phone.
Hold on for your father.
Hello.
Seye, hope you're good?
How is everything?
No, I am not angry. Angry for what?
Will I tell you to leave your course
and come over for my retirement party?
No, it's not possible.
Your reason for being there is important.
You have plenty of time.
- Yes.
- Okay?
We still have so
many parties to do together.
God will continue to help us.
I hope you're fine?
Don't forget what I told you,
always take things with ease.
When you get to a strange land,
you should always tread carefully.
Alright? Okay.
God will keep being with you.
- Amen.
- Alright dear.
Yes, I will talk to you later.
- Bye. Yeah.
- I am grateful, thank you
for telling them to
always tread carefully.
- They shouldn't put us in trouble.
- They shouldn't put us in trouble.
My Seye, blessed child.
My Oluwarotimi.
Yes daddy.
- I'm proud of you.
- Thank you, sir.
Daddy, have you seen what I sent to you?
It's in front of me.
I have gone through everything.
I'm highly impressed.
As a matter of fact,
all the ideas you sent are good.
You see,
I am very happy.
I won't lie, you made my day.
There is no other thing
for us to do than just kickstart.
You can't stand still when dancing.
Let us take off quickly.
Or what do you think?
Alright, that won't be a problem, sir.
I will come and see you so we can
have a meeting on how to take off.
Alright, I will be expecting you.
I'll be ready for you.
Thank you. Thanks, my dear. That's my son!
Love you always, okay?
Bye.
Oluwole the chief.
Olabode the prince.
What happened?
Why did it take you so much time?
I called you tirelessly
before you called me back.
I slept.
You didn't use to sleep
for that long before.
You said it too, that I didn't use to
sleep for that long before.
That was before.
That was before,
it's not now that my mind is at peace.
It's peace of mind.
Since Rotimi has been in charge
of the business and is handling
the report, I have been
getting makes me happy.
- Great!
- It puts my mind at rest.
So I sleep so well.
- Awesome.
- Thank God.
More so, I am enjoying my retirement.
-That's beautiful. You see,
-Yes.
that's what I always tell people.
If someone does not raise a child well,
they can't reap from the child.
- Yes.
- There are benefits in training a child.
Especially when you give
him qualitative education.
- Exactly, that's the truth.
- That's it.
- That's how it is.
- Yes.
- There are lots of benefits.
- That's the truth.
Thank God.
Thank God we have someone
like Rotimi who can do better than us.
It's a must for him to do better.
Don't you know ten
eyes can't be like yours?
No matter how bad one's child is,
you can't compare him to a porter.
Yes.
And blood is thicker than water.
Blood is thicker than water?
You are right.
- Oluwole, you've spoken well, that's true.
- Yeah.
- May God give us long life.
- Amen.
- May God let us live long.
- Amen.
And we shouldn't
become ill-mannered elders.
- Amen.
- Let's not become ill-mannered elders.
Even when we die,
our children will take charge.
Exactly. They are the ones
who will take charge. It's a must.
Is it a curse?
What is that, big brother?
Once you all get back from
abroad and you get to the airport,
you start complaining about the heat.
Is it not hot?
My brother-in-law, you should
know he is joking with you.
Seye, you are pulling my legs?
You are... Oh, good.
For that, I will put
off my AC and I won't wind down.
- Don't do that, please.
- Don't do that. Don't kill us with heat.
- My dear, it's because of you.
- Thank you.
I'm purposely teasing you.
He doesn't like people who return
from abroad and begin to act posh.
- He doesn't like it at all.
- No, it's not because of that alone.
It's because we shouldn't believe
any country is better than ours.
Nigeria's weather is
the best in the whole world.
- Honestly, I agree.
- True.
Honestly, God blessed us with that.
You're lucky.
- You're the one I considered.
- Thank you.
Let me increase it.
Don't hurt yourself with the cold.
- My dear, you must be tired.
- Sir?
I wanted to ask if you could prepare food
for me when we get to your house.
I will prepare it for you.
- You're my brother-in-law, why wouldn't I?
- You're spoiling him.
Are you the one that will cook it?
You should be the one feeding us.
Thank you so much.
- How was your trip?
- Fine, thank God.
- I hope you are fine?
- I am grateful to God.
We're managing it, we're dealing with it.
Wow, this is serious.
What is it?
You kept us waiting.
You turned eight months into ten months.
- Exactly.
- You should have stayed back.
That's not it, mummy.
We finished our course two months ago,
but your son refused to come back home.
Speak up, am I lying?
Honestly, I didn't want to come back home.
Yeah! That place is interesting to be at.
But you elders often say
a strange land can't be like one's home.
Thank God you know
that a strange land
can't be like one's home.
- Yes.
- Don't be like some people who sit abroad
and keep saying the country is not good.
Instead of them coming home so
we can join hands to build this country.
- Right?
- True.
Yeah, that's the best thing.
- It's good to be home.
- We are grateful to God.
- We're happy to see you again.
- We're also happy to see you.
- I missed you so much.
- Thank you, ma.
I hope Seye didn't stress you over there?
What's "hmm"?
Are you supposed to think about it?
- He didn't stress me.
- That's better.
- Somebody that I know.
- She's covering for him.
-My Adesewa,
-Mummy.
there is Amala and Gbegiri with Ewedu
and bush meat with peppered snail.
Do you want that or something else?
There is nothing
you give us that we won't eat.
We will go into the kitchen together.
- I trust you.
- I'm coming my dear.
- Alright dear.
- Let the food
be sweet.
Okay sir.
- Seye!
- Yeah, dad?
Let us gist.
- So how's it going? How is...
- Everything is going on smoothly.
- You're just getting better-looking.
- What will I do?
You don't want to age.
After my retirement, I have been resting.
No, don't tell me that.
I told you that it's ten trailers we want.
No, four can't work.
Correct that part and do it.
Make sure you do it,
I will get back to you.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Hello.
Yeah, good evening.
Ten?
Sixteen?
That's 16.
Sixteen chillers...
Okay don't worry, we will do it for you.
Don't worry, we'll do it.
Alright, thank you.
Do enjoy the rest of your day.
Thanks.
Big brother, what exactly is it?
What is it? Do you want to kill yourself?
You're answering one call after the other.
I hope your salary is robust?
Because daddy knows how to use a person.
What's wrong with you?
This is not about him using me.
Daddy and I are in a partnership.
We both own the business.
Even at that,
you should have time for yourself.
With the way you're doing, I am not sure
you will have time for any other thing.
You're the only one exporting local rice,
you might even be exporting locust beans.
You might also be exporting palm oil.
Not only not palm oil,
even white palm wine.
Are you mocking me?
I am not mocking you but the work
is too much, create time for yourself.
It's not everyone that will do a flashy
job like the entertainment you do.
- You're mocking me too.
- No, I'm just saying.
It's not like I don't work
but I don't just like slow work.
I don't like slow business.
- This is slow business?
- You're doing slow business.
If it was entertainment,
you will get paid immediately.
- Sorry, I'm sorry.
- You see?
I will talk to you later.
Hello.
I'll call you later.
Hello. Yeah.
- Hello?
- How much?
Sewa,
you visited us today.
You turned yourself
to a moon that's being looked for.
- My sister.
- Take this
my dear.
When did I travel?
What about before you left?
When was the last time we saw you?
Okay.
- You're welcome, dear.
- Thank you.
We're trying to make ends meet.
Don't be annoyed.
And you will not encounter
problems by God's grace.
- Amen.
- God will protect you for me.
Amen.
Pelumi's daddy,
please accept this
little thing I bought for you.
- This must be a wristwatch.
- Yes.
So I will use a foreign
wristwatch in my lifetime.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, my dear.
Here, this is yours, my sister.
All these for me?
Sewa?
Thank you, my sister.
Thank you, I am grateful.
You will continue to go higher.
The hands of a giver always go high,
you will keep going high by God's grace.
Pelumi's mummy,
your sister made me remember
when I was in secondary school.
I used this wristwatch
when I was in secondary school.
In fact the name on it
made me know that it's cheap.
Pelumi's daddy,
that wristwatch is not cheap.
How much did I even buy it then?
- I want to remember how much I bought it.
- Sewa,
don't waste your time,
I know how much they sell it.
I used it in secondary school very well.
But it's good the way
you reminded me of it.
Do you understand? Thank you
for what you bought for my wife.
Thank your sister on my behalf
for buying me a wristwatch.
Let me excuse you
so you can discuss better.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Thank you, I am grateful.
May you continue to prosper.
The hands of a giver are always high,
you will continue to prosper.
- I hope you are fine?
- Yes, I am fine.
I hope there's no problem?
Look at you!
I am happy to see you.
So sir, once I leave Bayelsa, I'll use
the opportunity to cover the whole of Edo.
- Alright.
- Then I will go to the North.
I will start from the North Central
then to maybe North East.
But the trip will take me
a month before I return.
One month? For what?
I am thinking we don't
have to go down to these places.
Look, my own is that we should buy
the food items and export them.
- That's all.
- No daddy, that's not all.
That's not... Daddy,
we have to do something that
will make us beat our competitors.
Yeah.
Just like this trip I want to embark on,
you will have to permit me.
A state like Benue...
Benue alone can feed the entire nation.
They harvest twice in a year.
- Really?
- If we go there
we will buy things in bulk
at discounted prices and bring them here.
The ones we will keep here to sell
and the ones we will export.
In North Central, like in Kwara State,
we will buy groundnut.
Like the kuli-kuli processing,
I said we should begin.
Our people abroad want to eat kuli-kuli.
Daddy, that's how we will
stay ahead of our competitors.
I didn't even see it
from this better angle you did.
Yes sir. That's why
you have a brilliant son.
And I took after you with that.
- Yes sir.
- Keep it up.
Thank you, daddy. Thank you, sir.
- Yeah.
- Thank you, sir.
- Alright.
- Yes sir.
Yeah
- Big brother.
- Yes, Seye.
Yeah
- Make do with this.
- Seye, are you for real?
You're really giving me
garri and groundnut as a guest?
Did you think I was joking?
- I can't cook anything.
- Seye.
Sewa has gotten a new job,
so please manage it.
-Seye,
-Yes?
even as a bachelor, I don't take
garri and groundnut in my house.
You're a bachelor,
that's why you learned how to cook.
I'm a married man.
My wife will cook for me.
You're not serious, you should know that.
Are you okay?
What's on your mind?
- No.
- Spit it out.
I am thinking about your company. I mean...
Which company?
Jobi and Sons of course.
What's wrong with Jobi and Sons?
Big brother,
that company is lagging behind.
It's not growing the way it should.
There are opportunities to explore.
Seye,
I do know there are more
opportunities to be explored.
But we can't do everything.
Already, we have a printing press,
we are into raw food exportation.
I insist there are more
opportunities to explore, big brother.
Feed me then.
I know what I am saying.
Look at you.
I mean, you work morning, day and night.
You work like a horse.
Daddy knows how to use a person.
Come on!
I am not complaining.
In fact, I'm okay.
Seye,
the company
in question belongs to all of us.
You should get what I am trying to say.
Between you and I,
which new idea does daddy have?
Thirty-five years of civil service.
He can't have any new ideas.
Imagine if it's the young brains
we have we use to run this company.
Just imagine the huge profit we will make.
Yes, you can imagine the kind
of opportunities we will explore.
Goddamn.
You will be scared.
The company in question will grow,
we will also grow.
No.
I've heard everything you've been saying,
but as for this... this type of growth,
don't discuss that with me.
Don't interfere in it.
This type of growth?
You don't understand
- what I am trying to say.
- I know what you're trying to say, Seye.
Just leave me and daddy to run
the company the way we're running it.
- Leave us.
- It hurts me.
We're okay like this. We're moving.
You don't know my value, honestly.
- Seye, I don't your value.
- I swear.
We're fine.
Seye, I will leave
your garri for you to drink.
- No, drink it.
- Okay.
I want to take you somewhere.
I will take you out today.
You can't take me out,
I will take you out. What do you know?
- I will take you out today.
- Leave me alone.
- What is the matter with you?
- What do you know?
-Rotimi,
-Yes sir.
I am happy about
these reports I am seeing.
- Thank you, sir.
- No.
It means we will make
so much money this season.
- Yes. Hopefully, sir.
- Yeah.
That's our projection too.
Especially from
the part of the printing press.
- Okay.
- You know at the end of the year
people like printing and doing events.
So our projection
is that we should make enough money.
By God's grace.
What surprised me
most is the food exportation.
I didn't know there
was so much money in it.
Daddy, people will eat.
There is money in it.
It's just that if one doesn't know
the business well before getting into it,
you can run into debt.
We will not incur debt,
we will make profits.
Amen.
I want to use this medium to tell you
that your mum and I will be traveling out,
- Okay.
- for holiday.
And we will be gone awhile.
We might spend months before we come back.
- Wow!
- Yeah.
That's not bad,
both of you have to rest from
the hustle and bustle of everyday work.
- Exactly.
- But daddy,
I wanted to come and see you before.
I have a business idea I want to
pitch to you to see if we can do it.
What business is that?
Daddy, I am wondering if
Jobi and Sons can go into entertainment.
Like having chains of nightclubs.
Do you understand? So that
later we can go into musical promotion.
You see daddy, that's something
the new age youths like so much.
It will be lucrative. Because,
if you walk a short distance, It will
be hard not to find a lounge or club
that is popping So,
if Jobi and Sons quickly break into
that market, we'll be able to take over,
even from people in the industry.
If we have a lot of it in strategic places
it will favor us, sir.
Well, it's not a bad idea. But,
the issue is that
we shouldn't do so many things.
Let's focus on what we're doing for now.
As we're continuing with it,
we will get many proceeds from it.
But this one,
- put it aside.
- Daddy, sir...
If a blacksmith puts too many
irons in the fire, trouble is coming.
Daddy, I understand you but,
this is what I want you
to understand, sir,
the business is in vogue, daddy.
Besides, I can't envision it,
Rotimi, I can't envision it. Put it aside.
Do you understand?
- Okay sir.
- God will keep blessing what we're doing.
- Amen. Very well, sir.
- Yeah. Okay.
- God will protect you on the journey.
- Amen.
And I wish you the very best of luck.
- Amen.
- You hear?
Thank you, daddy.
- It's my pleasure.
- Thank you sir.
The pleasure is mine.
- Thank you sir.
- Oh, come...
You how?
You're a lion.
I know you must have found a white girl
you got down with over there.
- A white girl?
- Yes.
While Sewa is there?
Big brother, it's impossible.
She monitored me
closely while we were there.
- Really?
- Sewa?
You're acting like you don't know her.
You don't mean it.
She can be very jealous.
Okay.
- What are you doing?
- I am doing God's wish.
Dress up and let's go into town.
Let us go out.
No. Bro, I can't go out.
Why?
What I am thinking about
presently is too much for me to go out.
What are you thinking about?
Seye, you see,
I have this great business idea.
But daddy is not buying it.
What kind of business idea is it?
Okay.
I am thinking
if we have a very big nightclub
in a very strategic place,
it will bring money in for us.
But as much as I am trying to sell it,
our old man is not buying it.
Daddy is old-school, he can't buy it.
He can't see what
you're seeing in the business.
Old man? He is old-school.
Very lucrative business.
If it is well planned.
What are you saying?
Having a nightclub in a strategic place,
it's a lucrative business.
Do you know how much
the youths spend on having fun?
They always compete in clubs,
they buy drinks any which way.
They spend a lot, so much.
And things they sell in the club
don't have price control.
In the club
the bottled water
they sell for 100 naira outside
can be sold for 2000.
Nobody will stop them.
- Yes!
- Seye.
- Very good business.
- Seye,
what you're saying to me in a nutshell
is that the business
I am thinking of is not something bad.
I swear in God's name.
The profit daddy will make in one year
is what he will make in
two months even in triple folds.
I have also done my feasibility studies,
but how will I sell it for daddy to buy?
Forget about daddy, I have told you
that both of us should roll.
This is a business
I know about, I am street.
I'm experienced.
I am exposed.
I know about this thing.
You're gonna thank me later.
Accept it.
Brother,
this means we are in business.
- Really?
- Welcome on board, bro.
Yeah!
Now I can see that I was not mad.
The thing was almost making me go insane.
- Yeah.
- He will thank you later.
We should celebrate this,
go and change your clothes, let's go out.
I am not going.
Go and do the preparations
then let me know.
I can't go, I have to do
something on my laptop.
Go out and have fun.
Don't kill yourself with work.
- I will go out tomorrow.
- If anyone sees you
they will think you're an extrovert.
Extrovert how?
You won't womanize and still won't go out.
Do you take selfies?
Answer me!
What caused the delay?
I'm sorry, sir.
I felt I should do both tomorrow morning.
Listen to yourself.
At your age,
I am sure you're an elderly person.
- What's the meaning of this?
- I am sorry sir.
You're delaying the daily report.
You turned it to something to pile up.
Look here, I won't take that.
I would never take that.
- I am sorry sir.
- What is wrong with you?
Do you even have any experience?
I mean, for how long
have you been working?
Few years ago, sir.
Did I ask how many years? I said how long?
Okay. When did you graduate?
Some years back.
Don't tell me some years,
the exact year you graduated. I mean,
for how long have you been a graduate?
I want to know, how many years ago?
- Five years ago.
- You see.
I don't know the reason why my brother
will employ inexperienced people like you.
Turned the daily report into...
And you, what about
what I told you to get?
Sir, I will be done very soon.
- You will soon be done?
- Yes sir.
Oh God.
Listen, let me tell you guys,
-now that I am around,
-Okay sir.
I will not tolerate any form of laziness,
- inefficiency or inexperience.
- Okay sir.
- Do you understand?
- Yes sir.
If anyone misbehaves,
you're fired. You are gone.
So, it's either you move
with me or you're out.
- No, we are in, sir.
- We are in, sir.
- You're in?
- Yes sir.
Better.
I prefer the first one.
With the way I viewed it,
it's not the kind of business
that can get one troubled.
No, at all!
But what I am thinking is
the money involved will be so much.
No, it's not a lot of money.
What are you saying?
It's not so much money.
We are talking in the neighborhood
of just 100 million naira.
- Bode!
- Yes?
One hundred million? That's too much.
- It's not much.
- It's a lot.
No! It's not so much.
Don't you know the higher you put
into business, the higher the profit?
Okay, can't we start
with 40 to 60 million?
It's not like 40 million can't do it,
even with ten million,
one can achieve a business.
But you might not get
more than 4000 naira.
What use would that be?
That's the way I see it.
The more you invest
then the more profit you get.
Okay, where do we
get more money to fund it?
Banky,
- you don't have a 100 million?
- I don't have.
You don't have a 100 million?
- How do I get it?
- You have friends.
I know so many
of your rich friends. Talk to them.
Whatever your friends can spare,
it's not like you won't return it.
You are returning the money.
In that case,
let's talk to Wole then.
- Leave him out of it.
- Wole?
Leave Wole alone out.
Don't go there at all.
Banky don't go there.
- Why?
- Don't talk about him.
We are talking of someone
who has this. Who has this.
Business acumen.
- Wole has it.
- Business... No!
I am telling you something!
I am talking about
somebody who is grounded.
Well grounded!
Busines-wise. Somebody who is rooted.
- Rooted?
- Yes!
- Grounded?
- Grounded.
You see, I have done my analysis.
When you invest 100 million naira,
are you with me?
It is not about making 100% gain, no.
It's about making 150% gain.
- As a business man?
- Exactly.
I believe we all got the report
of last month's records in our mails?
Yes sir.
I told the secretary to send
it to each and every one of us.
Alongside our behavioural reports.
The Yoruba say if one's masquerade
dances well it encourages the drummers.
- Sure.
- Honestly,
I must confess
that I am highly impressed
with the account and sales department
headed by Mr Adejobi Seye.
Kudos to you Mr Seye.
Thank you. Thank you guys.
I want to let you know
that I am not only impressed,
but that department also
made so much money for this company.
So having said that...
My brother, don't be annoyed.
Let me quickly cut you.
At this point,
I need to mention something, alright?
I noticed that while he was saying
my department is the best and
it is making money
all of you were clapping.
Because I use my brain.
Yes, I used my brain
to develop my department.
I want you also to learn,
use your brain to develop your department.
- Mr Adejobi.
- Sorry brother.
- Let there be progress in this company.
- Mr Adejobi?
All of you that I scold, I don't do it
for no reason, I lead by example.
- Use this.
- Seye!
Sorry brother. Sorry.
- It's just an opportunity.
- Mr Adejobi, point taken.
Alright, big brother.
Yeah.
I will implore all HODs present
to suggest what
they can bring to the table
for the progress of this company.
Sir.
Yes Folake, please.
As the head of store-keeping department,
I want to suggest that
- maybe we should arrange...
- What do you want to suggest?
Have you submitted
your suggestions to me for me to review?
- Mr Adejobi.
- No, because
- I don't know what you want to suggest.
- Mr Adejobi.
Big brother,
most of them are not independent.
- Seye!
- They are not independent.
What have they done
to improve the company?
- Seye!
- I mean!
Let's call a spade a spade.
- Now, Mr Adejobi... Mr Seye!
- You're saying "I suggest that"...
Mr Seye Adejobi,
please do not
on this seat,
interrupt anybody without my say-so.
- Do you understand?
- Noted. Noted, big brother.
Bring your suggestions to me first.
Why were you knocking like that?
- Did you get money?
- Oh, yes baby!
What money did you get? You even
look so excited. What's happening?
Yes, I'm excited! Oh yes.
You know they say
excitement gives one good wellness.
You know what I'm saying?
So what's making you happy?
Okay babe, let me gist you.
You see, at the meeting
we had in the office today
I was told my department is the best.
That means the Account department
is the best department.
- Is that all?
- That's not all.
You know?
The record also shows that we made
so much money last month. Yeah!
That means there is so much money for us.
- That's good to know.
- Yeah!
So what's the bonus given
to the head of the best department?
I understand what you are trying to say.
I want you to understand that
I am not foolish neither am I stupid.
You get?
I didn't intentionally put the pot outside
for raindrops when it's not drizzling.
- Okay.
- I've got my plans, baby.
Yes!
One who has plans doesn't sleep too deep.
Use your brain.
If one has plans, he will have results.
Let me see.
Baby, come on. Believe me, I've got plans!
You're always talking like
I am not in my right senses.
I understand what you're saying.
I'm gonna surprise you. I've got plans!
And you will see the results. Come on!
Just wait and see.
Why are you talking like this?
I think we should
commence since all HODs are seated.
I want to assure you
that this meeting won't take time.
There is something important
my brother, Mr Adejobi
and I will discuss with you.
Whichever way you take it,
I want you to know
we have your interest at heart.
Big brother.
Why are you perambulating?
Go straight to the point.
Anyway don't worry, let me help you.
Okay? Alright, guys!
We need to tell you guys that this company
wants to diversify into something else.
And the services of most
of you won't be needed any longer.
- Yeah!
- Sir, is anything wrong?
Yeah.
What have we done?
Honestly,
it is an insult for you to ask the company
if anything is wrong. Okay?
But out of my own humility,
I will answer you. Alright?
What we want to start doing, none
of you have the brains to do it with us.
You don't know about it at all.
So even if we're retaining some of you,
we just want to help train you
to get into the new business.
Your brain cannot handle it.
So, listen to your names.
If you hear your name, you're gone.
But,
the company is fair enough, alright?
We will pay everyone's salary
with one month bonus.
That's for the affected ones.
So please, listen to your names.
Number one, of course.
Mr Emmanuel Ogbonna Chuks.
- Me?
- Yes, you.
- Sorry.
- Me? What did I do?
Number two, Miss Folake Adeoye.
- Me.
- Yes.
What did I do?
- And...
- No. That's all.
The rest can go to their various spaces.
- Thank you.
- But, what have we done?
Sir.
Big brother,
a new beginning.
Daddy, you're not sleeping?
Daddy, don't be annoyed.
I was working when you called me, sir.
How about mummy?
Okay.
Daddy, I am so sorry.
I've been so busy lately.
Don't be offended, sir.
Daddy, I didn't want to
burden you with the issue.
As for those people we fired, I discovered
they were being lazy with work.
They are so incompetent now, sir.
That's why we fired them.
Don't be offended, sir.
Tomorrow, sir?
Very well, sir.
I will get it across to you, sir.
Daddy, actually, we...
me and my brother,
we're working on something very big.
And I'm very sure we will make you
very proud when you get back, sir.
Bye sir.
Seye.
This boy will get me into trouble.
- Yeah babe.
- What is it?
Do you see?
My husband!
This is mine and the Lexus is yours.
- The Lexus is mine?
- Yes.
-Babe,
-Yeah.
why would you buy me a Lexus?
You know I like Venza so much
so why get a Lexus for me?
The Lexus is portable, it will fit you.
Do I look like Portable?
You use your portable car,
I don't want it.
Okay, I will call the dealer,
he will take this and bring the Venza.
He doesn't need to take this.
Bring the Venza for me and I will be
taking this to the market. Is it too much?
Babe,
what about the car I was driving before?
Are we going to park it down or sell it?
We will use everything,
we are worth it. Don't overthink it.
Buy me a Venza, I don't like this one.
But all the same, thank you darling.
Thank you, my husband.
- We'll use four cars together?
- Yes.
Well, you will determine
our standard. It's not too much.
I'll make the call right away. Right away!
I will surprise you right away,
today, not tomorrow.
Welcome.
Yeah.
I thank you Lord.
Daddy, you're welcome.
Thank you, Lord.
- We're home.
- You're welcome, mummy.
- Welcome ma.
- Richard!
- Richard!
- Welcome. Daddy, you're welcome, sir.
Richard!
- Yeah.
- How are you?
Daddy, I'm 45% good.
- What do you mean by 45%?
- You know I missed you so much.
But now that you're back,
I'm cocksure it will skyrocket to 100%.
Okay, let it skyrocket anywhere,
we miss you too.
I'm sorry, dad. Sorry, my bad.
Sorry, I didn't allow you to relax.
But I have good news for you, sir.
We'll discuss that later.
Darling, let's go inside.
- Let him say what he wants to say.
- Thank you, daddy.
I just want to inform you that
I'm one of 20 people that were
given scholarship to further my second
degree in University of Ilorin.
- Really?
- It's truly good news.
- Definitely.
- We will celebrate that later.
- Alright sir. Welcome, daddy.
- Okay.
Any other news?
- We're fine sir.
- There must not be any.
- I really missed you, mummy.
- I missed you too.
- Richard the English speaker.
- You should mix English and Yoruba.
Yes sir. You're welcome, sir.
- Richard speaks... English.
- So much...
Okay my dear.
- Please, sit.
- What happened?
- It's daddy.
- What happened to daddy?
Nothing happened to him. Daddy said
he will report to the office on Monday.
Is that why you called me suddenly?
I pray you don't kill me.
If he wants to resume
at the office, let him come.
Seye, why are you talking in this manner?
You're talking like you don't know daddy.
How will I explain to him my reason for
not giving him the report he asked for?
Oh! That's true.
I didn't even think
towards that direction.
You will have to scope him.
Tell him to remain calm that we're
the ones in charge and we're capable.
Seye!
- I should tell him we're capable?
- Yes.
You're talking like
you don't know your father.
We know our father,
he should know his children too.
We're capable.
Relax, don't get yourself worked up.
Is this...
There is no big deal in this, I swear.
- Relax.
- We'll have to face him together.
There is nothing wrong with that,
we didn't do something illegal.
Put your mind to rest.
We did the right thing, it's something
he will thank us for in future.
Let me quickly finish what I was doing.
Don't spoil my chair.
Don't be annoyed.
Popman.
What is it?
Okay!
Yeah, I trust you.
That guy is not an expert.
You should handle it.
Yeah.
I will be expecting your report.
Thank you.
Put your mind to rest,
- Okay.
- he is handling it for me.
Thank God.
You should know I don't like wasting time.
We both got that from daddy.
So I will...
- Daddy. Welcome, sir.
- Welcome sir.
- I hope you're good?
- Fine sir.
- Well done.
- You're welcome sir.
I didn't know you will come around today.
Seye.
Seye, where are you going?
He is here to see you.
I thought you wanted to see him
that's why you came to his office.
He didn't come to see me,
he just got back.
Even if I came here, do I have to come
and see you separately in your office
since I met both of you here?
Come on, sit down.
Oh wow. So sorry, sir.
You're welcome, daddy.
How was your trip, sir?
- Thank God.
- How was your trip?
Thank you.
Rotimi, sit down.
Thank you, sir.
- Welcome sir.
- Yeah.
-Rotimi,
-Yes sir.
why didn't you send the report
I requested for since I went on vacation?
I am very sorry, sir.
I am deeply sorry
for not sending it to you.
I am...
Actually, daddy,
a huge amount of money
came into the company recently
so Seye and I decided to sort it out first
before giving you the report.
So it won't get mixed up.
Exactly.
Have you forgotten
I gave birth to both of you?
I am asking. You met me in this world.
Yes sir.
And I'm not a dunce.
I retired as a permanent secretary.
- Right?
- Yes sir.
Are you telling me about money
that never entered the account?
Money didn't enter the account, money
keeps going out, where does it go?
My big brother,
Rotimi wants to explain it to you.
I want you to explain it to me.
Yeah.
No, I don't want it to look
like I'm disrespecting him.
Cut that, what disrespect?
If either of you explain it,
what's wrong with that? Tell me.
Daddy, you see,
we borrowed the company's money as a loan,
or we can call it an IOU, you know?
We reinvested it back into the company.
-You know? So,
-Yes sir.
basically for the progress of the company.
Yes sir. We didn't loan
the money out, it's in the company.
It's in the company.
And I want to assure you that
- we're going to make you proud.
- Yes sir.
Because what we used it for,
yeah, we will maximize huge profits.
You will be very proud of us.
I swear in God's name.
That's how it will be.
Thank you.
I didn't say I won't be proud of you.
- Do you understand?
- Yes sir.
What is the purpose of the loan
and where did you invest it in?
I want to know.
It's an investment, sir.
- Investment?
- Yes sir.
What kind of investment?
As it is now sir, it's obvious that
we can't make less than 500 million naira,
if we invest
300 million naira in the business.
Five hundred million naira?
Yes sir, and the money
will be made within two months.
- Really?
- Yes.
Calm down this man.
You're a fool for making that statement.
What are you saying?
I am talking about money and
you're telling me to calm down.
Why should I calm down?
For the past six months
you've taken 150 million naira from me
over the useless business
you introduced me to.
We saw the beginning but no results.
I didn't see my capital or my profit
and you're telling me to calm down.
What sort of thing is that?
You keep posting me.
If I don't get my money
within 24 hours you will be surprised.
Give me my money, I want to do another
business that is better than yours.
Send my money.
If you don't,
I will show you the stuff I am made of.
Yes! I will let you know that
I can't fight but I have people I rely on.
My children will descend
on you and you will become sane.
They will deal with you ruthlessly.
Give me my money!
Thief.
This man wants to scare a stronghold.
He has forgotten that humans use the
mortar any time of the day as they wish.
The key that opens a bank
can't open a mortuary.
Anyone who dares me dies.
No.
Is this how my dream will come to pass?
May an evil dream not come to pass.
This is what my dream was about?
God didn't make it unknown to me,
I'm the one who didn't pay attention.
Would I have thought that my children
will betray me or steal from me?
They also own whatever belongs to me.
This was why I was being careful
about doing business with Bode.
What sort of calamity is this?
I didn't pay enough attention to it.
I paid attention though,
that's why I didn't respond to Bode.
God, have mercy on me.
Truly, this is a very bad thing.
It's so bad that
I don't understand anymore.
Because there's no one will be
humiliated and reciprocate with praise.
But I am sure everything
will be sorted, let's exercise patience.
Please.
When? Adunni, when?
When will it be sorted? Answer me.
Why are Rotimi
and Seye trying to disappoint me?
I am asking.
Is it a crime for a parent to bring his
children closer so they can work together?
There is no crime in it at all.
Then what did I do wrong?
They are our future, let us be patient.
They are our future, right?
One cannot have access to
sweet oranges and eat sour ones instead.
These ones are making me regret.
- Yes.
- God forbid.
We will not know sadness,
not to talk of regret.
Are you listening?
I understand everything you said.
I understand you.
In fact, even more than you think.
It's also paining me.
But both of us can't act the same
way so it won't ruin our plans.
- What will happen again?
- So it doesn't become worse than this.
What else can happen asides this?
I am asking you, what else can
happen to me apart from this?
There is no money in the account
anymore, the account is dry.
I don't have anything.
You're saying something else.
Adunni, right now,
I am seeing myself as a barren.
- God forbid.
- I don't have any children.
- Are those children?
- They are children.
No, I am barren.
- These ones aren't children.
- Please for God's sake, don't do that.
They are not children.
Please for God's sake,
may God not make us barren.
Hello Rotimi.
Hello.
Rotimi!
If I am truly your mother,
I want to see you in this house
first thing tomorrow morning.
What is it?
Babe.
Seye.
You left me upstairs
to come and sit here, what is it?
Don't be offended.
I am thinking about our company.
I mean,
I am just thinking
now that daddy is back,
the money I cunningly
collected from Rotimi
they might trace it to my account.
So I am thinking
of moving it out of my account.
I am thinking of a secured account
that I can keep the money.
Seye, sometimes you disappoint me so much.
Why?
You're looking for
a secured account to keep the money.
What is wrong with my account?
Why can't you move it there?
No.
It can be traced
to your account too. You are my wife.
Sometimes, you act like you don't know me.
Alright. Just move the money
into my account, don't worry.
I'll know what to do so
they won't trace it to my acccount.
Don't worry, just move it to my account.
- Really?
- Yes.
Are you okay now?
That's fine.
That's what you have been thinking about?
All my efforts must not be in vain.
- It can't be in vain.
- I trust you.
Why have we been
stressing all these while?
That's good.
Maybe we should sit here together.
I'll move it first thing tomorrow morning.
- No problem, it's fine.
- Yeah.
Rotimi! I called you to come
and see me, you didn't answer.
- I have come to meet you now.
- Mummy, don't be annoyed, I've been busy.
Shut up! You're busy
or you're running from your father?
They say when one fades away,
his offspring will take over.
Are you the ones
your father will leave everything for?
I am doomed, my creator.
You're already making me suffer
in my husband's lifetime
while he is still alive.
What exactly is it?
We just traveled for a few months
and you turned the business upside down.
What is the problem?
Please, don't kill my husband for me.
Mummy, may anything evil not befall daddy.
How will something bad not happen?
I said how will evil not befall him
with this bad behavior
you guys are exhibiting?
You diverted all the money elsewhere.
Money keeps going out
without any coming in.
- Don't let me curse you both.
- No mummy.
You know I carried you
in my womb for nine months.
- Mummy please.
- You sucked my breasts.
Tell Seye that I will get
upset and curse both of you.
- Mummy please.
- What is it?
Mummy, actually, honestly,
we are planning something very big.
By the time we're done with it,
you and daddy will be very happy with us.
Hey! Make us happy henceforth.
Rotimi, tell Seye,
make us happy from this moment.
Do you want to make me unfortunate?
What did I do to you?
What is the new thing that's happening?
What is it that you don't want us to know?
You keep saying
you're planning something big.
Don't plan big, plan small.
- Return our money.
- Mummy.
- Mummy.
- Do you understand?
- Debt is about to kill my husband.
- Mummy.
Debt is about to kill my husband.
- Return our business back to normal.
- Mummy, I don't wish for this as well.
You know daddy and I are in
partnership as regards this business.
I am involved too.
I don't care.
I don't care if you are involved or not.
It's none of my business at all!
My husband is all that matters to me.
Please return my husband's business
to the way you met it.
If you don't do that, tell Seye,
I will close my eyes,
- go naked to disown and curse you.
- Mummy, we will make amends.
Wait a minute, mummy.
My husband, I am done,
I want to be on my way.
- You can go.
- Okay.
Are you not a Yoruba woman?
Didn't you see my reaction
when I said you can go?
Okay, where are you going?
Okay, I am going to Sewa's
place, I won't stay long.
Which Sewa?
Sewa, my younger sister.
No,
I don't know Sewa.
There's no reason
for you not to stay long.
There is nothing
you need to come home for.
It's better you take a mat
or your mattress along to sleep there.
Then you can come back once you're done.
My husband,
you know me very well.
You know I am not a wayward being.
Yes, you are not a wayward being,
you just have nonsense behavior.
Yes! If not...
You don't know I am
aware of what's happening.
Your closeness with
Sewa lately is too much.
What is it? What happened
from the moment she came back?
I know what's happening, let me tell you.
Sewa introduced you to
a man who just got back from abroad.
You're surprised I am aware?
If I get hold of you,
you won't like me. I am not joking.
My husband,
it's true my sister and I
have been so close lately.
You see,
she kept money in my account.
She wants to use it with her husband
but they don't want to touch it.
They don't want to spend it.
That's why they kept it in my account.
There is some cash with her, I go there to
collect it and deposit it in my account.
- Don't be annoyed.
- I am not angry, you caused it.
Had it been you told me this
is the reason, will I get upset?
I don't need to be angry,
she is your sister.
Will I ask her not to keep money
in your account? Is it a crime?
She has the right to keep
money in your account.
I don't know who you love more
between me and money.
- It's you.
- My Akin,
you like money too much.
- Let me quickly be on my way.
- You can go.
- I won't stay long. Thank you, my husband.
- Sorry.
I didn't know.
If you had told me it was money-related,
would I have told you not to go?
- Seye.
- Big brother.
I just got off the phone with Philips.
I asked him for our goods and he said
he didn't get any goods for us this time.
What happened?
I can remember I approved the money
and you told me you've paid him.
Something must be wrong somewhere.
Actually,
the goods ought to have arrived, but
why did you call Philips
first without asking me?
Or...
Philips deals with small amounts of goods.
The ones we bought this time
were too much, so I didn't use Philips.
I used someone else.
You should've asked me first.
Seye, firstly,
this is not Philips' first time buying
goods for us and there is no limitation.
I saw that he wasn't capable
of handling this.
Why would you decide he is not capable?
- See Seye, Seye.
- Big brother.
- Seye, you're not listening to me.
- I am.
Let us sort it out now. What's going on?
Stop it! I don't like all this.
Am I incapable?
Why are you acting like I can't handle it?
You should relax.
I'm capable.
I am the one in charge.
No.
Capable? That's not in question.
You are not in charge.
- I'm in charge of this.
- You're not in charge.
You've never been in charge.
- Regarding the goods.
- Seye,
you have never been in charge.
You will give your report to me
and I will give it to our dad.
Big brother. Okay, calm down.
Listen,
I'm on top of this, the goods will arrive.
Put your mind to rest.
- Bro, please handle it.
- I will.
And when you told someone else to deliver
the goods, you should have informed me.
There's a way we used to do these things.
Will I have to get approval from you
before I do anything? When I'm not a kid.
Why is he talking like this?
What's the age difference between us?
Don't let me get annoyed with you,
I studied abroad.
Now that you've refused to eat,
I'm scared.
Because
no matter how tough the situation might be
food is very important to the body.
Pity me.
I am just thinking of it.
I'm thinking if someone
who's in debt should have an appetite.
Take it easy.
Adunni,
my debt is too much.
God will pay it.
It's too much that I can't
even switch on my phone.
The people I took loans
from keep calling tirelessly.
I keep getting scared as it rings.
It's the same thing with messages as well.
I am scared, what am I going to do?
What mouth will I use to eat?
I don't understand.
I don't have anyone except God.
Putting your hope in God is enough for us.
Because I am sure that
God doesn't disappoint
those that depend on Him and do His will.
I want to urge you to let us have faith.
Let's have faith.
I have faith.
Will you eat now? Even if it's
small pap, let me prepare it for you.
Put the food aside for now.
I don't get you.
We got there and they said the building
that was leased to us is not ours.
What's not ours?
You're talking like you don't have sense.
Speak up! What about the receipt
I gave you, that I said Seye gave me?
We took all the receipts there
and they told us it was fake.
Is this man stupid?
They told you it was fake
and you couldn't tell them
you're tendering the original receipt.
Seye sat down there and gave me
the receipt, he also showed me the video.
I saw our structure and I saw
Chinese people putting goods on the land.
I sent you there first so I can go
there myself next week to inspect.
They said it's fake sir,
we showed them everything.
Call Seye for me!
He didn't come to
the office since yesterday.
Seye hasn't come
to the office since yesterday?
Yes sir.
I am doomed.
Seye is always saying you're stupid,
I am just realizing it
today that both of you are stupid.
None of you could inform me
that Seye hasn't been at the office?
Get out!
I am doomed.
I am doomed.
I am doomed.
Seye...
Seye has ruined my life.
He's not picking up.
My Abeni,
just imagine me opening a store for you
and putting so many goods in it.
How will you feel?
It will be good.
There is nothing God cannot do.
With God all things are possible.
In this present situation
God has done it already.
It's within us, you and I. Especially you!
- Me?
- Yes.
I am giving you full support.
- Oh Lord.
- What are you waiting for?
- I am ready.
- God, I am grateful.
This is what happened.
Someone introduced a business to me.
It's tricycles, we will buy those new ones
in bulk and rent a big store to keep them.
Yes, with 15 million we will be okay.
When we buy it,
we will give it to people in installments,
- then they will be paying the money in.
- Okay.
In fact, in one year
the 15 million
we started the business with...
- Yes.
- between you and I,
it will be close to 100 million.
You know
when we have 100 million,
it will be easy to take out 15.
- The business is good.
- Very good.
After the 15 million, I will take out
more millions to get a shop for you.
You know it will be easy, I won't
even know I took money out.
Look here, I am ready right now.
That's what we're driving at,
the readiness is in your hands.
So this is what we will do.
- My hands?
- The 15 million,
the 15 million I need you will lend
me from your sister's money.
I will take it today, right now.
It mustn't exceed today.
Because I have to send the money.
The goods will start
coming in from tomorrow.
We won't let it take long at all.
I am even thinking of something,
I won't let it take up to a year.
As soon as we get the first 15 million,
I will just give it to you.
Whatever is left will be
between my wife and I to share.
So now,
can you transfer 15 million at once?
You can't do it. Anyway,
transfer any amount you can,
then I will follow you
to the bank right now before they close.
Do you understand?
Pelumi's daddy,
that will be quite difficult.
It will be difficult.
Okay, let me call Sewa.
That's wrong.
Why are you behaving like a kid?
Why will you call your younger sister?
Why will you call your sister to tell her
your husband wants
to borrow money from her?
Don't you know that we will be
very rich from this business?
So if we become rich in future,
she will go about and begin to say
that she helped her sister's husband.
She will hurl insults at you too
and you know your sister is very proud.
That's not good.
Look here, it will be difficult.
The money is not mine.
I don't have access to the money. Okay,
what if they ask for
the money before then?
She will not need it now.
She won't need it
until I use and return it.
I know what I am saying, my dear.
I understand, it can't work.
I can't do it.
- What?
- I said I can't do it.
Come on.
Pelumi's mummy.
You are turning down my request?
You even dragged it at the end.
In Yoruba land if one does that,
they are serious about whatever it is.
You?
You to me?
Despite the love I have for you.
Oh God.
I didn't know this was what would end me.
Why did it take so long before I knew?
That I have been living, sleeping,
and dining with my enemy. I'm hurt.
-So,
-Listen,
I don't even have anyone at all?
are you ready to eat?
I'm hurt.
Let me know when you're ready.
I'm hurt.
Pelumi's mummy.
It didn't work out. It failed, no remedy.
Honestly,
I don't know what to say anymore.
Because,
you're too smart to be deceived by Seye.
What were you looking at?
Ayo, I am truly smart. I am smart.
But I didn't know you could be smart
in a place and a fool in another.
Seye is my biological brother.
We're talking about trust.
I trusted my brother! He's my brother!
I thought Seye will bring
progress to our business,
I didn't know he will drag us backwards.
At this juncture,
you can't care that he's your brother,
we will get him arrested.
Arrest Seye?
I haven't seen Seye.
It is if you are able to see the moon
that you can tell if it's full or not.
I've not seen my brother
and I've been calling him,
he's not even picking my calls.
I haven't seen him.
I haven't seen Seye.
I have called him severally
and he didn't pick my call.
I don't know what to tell my Popman.
Seye! I trusted you.
It is finished.
Seye.
I didn't know.
I was just thinking we should
be patient for some more time.
What kind of patience?
I said what kind of patience?
God.
I didn't expect to
meet myself here at all.
What will I do now?
What kind of life condition
have I found myself in?
Your children turned
me into an empty barrel.
I don't even have anything anymore.
I didn't ask God for this.
I didn't know your children would be
the ones to ruin my life like this.
They ran me to the ground.
I have now become empty.
What will I say?
Will I start going around to beg
for money so I can pay my debt?
My mind is not at rest anymore.
Hypertension has set in,
very soon depression will set in.
Why?
When it's not that I didn't work hard.
When it's not that
I didn't establish a business.
I wasn't extravagant
so we can live a better life.
Look at what is going on.
I didn't know these children
would be the ones to wreck me.
I didn't know they would do this to me.
Honestly.
What is it?
I don't have a choice.
I don't have any other choice
than to sell the house at Agric.
I just have to sell it.
Your children got me into this mess.
Please don't say negative words to them.
They... If I...
Please.
I've heard you.
I have to sell it,
there is nothing I can do.
- Rotimi.
- Ma.
- Rotimi.
- Yes mum.
The drummer that drums
and looks behind doesn't want
any hand to touch
the other side, because if it does
the drum would tear apart.
Your father's effort was for this business
not to get into someone else's hands.
You made it futile. It was all in vain.
My husband,
has now become
a debtor that is being chased with calls.
They pushed him till
he sold his house at Agric.
I am in trouble.
When did that happen?
Mummy, I didn't know.
You can't know. How will you know?
Since your father
has become a forbidden fellow
that you can't
see anymore, you won't know.
Look at your life now.
You kept saying
you're planning something very big.
Something very big.
This is the very big thing that made
you turn my husband into a debtor.
Now he doesn't have anything anymore.
Look at me very well, Rotimi.
- Ma.
- Look at me closely.
Yes ma.
You and Seye!
- Rotimi.
- Ma.
You and Seye!
-Everything you did to my husband
-Mummy, no please.
- your children will do the same to you.
- Mummy, please.
- Your children will do the same to you.
- Mummy, no.
Mummy.
I didn't know it will get to this,
Seye got me into it.
Mummy, I'm so sorry.
It's Seye.
I thought I was helping out.
I thought everything will get better.
Who is older between you and Seye?
Mummy, it's me.
I thought...
Mummy, I'm sorry, please.
Please. Mummy please.
Please, I'm sorry.
Please. Mummy, please.
Seye!
John! Open the gate.
Who is that?
So you're in town?
Seye, you're in town?
I called you severally.
So many times.
You didn't pick my calls.
I sent text messages,
Seye, you didn't reply.
You didn't come
to the office, I sent emails.
- Seye, you didn't reply.
- Big brother, please for God's sake,
what do I want to do at the office?
Tell me what's interesting in the office
that will make me be in attendance.
- An office that is already dry.
- Seye, the office is dry?
Yes, I'm an active person.
You're telling me that...
Seye are you insane?
- Are you out of your mind?
- Big brother, calm down!
He just asked
a simple question, that's all!
Sewa.
Don't point your fingers at me,
that is rude.
Extremely rude.
- She is a married woman.
- Yes.
- Sewa, you're talking to me like that?
- Yes.
Sewa, please,
can you not just put your mouth?
Just shut your mouth!
- This is a family matter.
- She is my family.
She is Mrs Seye Adejobi.
You're not married that's why you don't
know how to talk to a married woman.
That's it!
Okay. Seye,
can I just have all the money back?
The money you talked me into investing.
The money we took from
Jobi Farms, Jobi Textiles, and Jobi Press,
can I have them back?
Please, why are you
talking in this manner?
I don't understand you.
Am I from China?
Why don't you get on a plane
and go meet them in China?
- Seye, you must think I'm a fool!
- Big brother.
The office you took me to
that we wanted to use for the business
the agent said you paid for two months
and I gave you money for four years.
If you believe the agent,
it means you're not alright.
Why will the agent
tell you I paid for two months?
- Are you insane?
- Do you want to beat me?
- Do I want to beat you?
- Yes, do you want to beat me?
- Leave him.
- Beat me!
- Don't touch me!
- Seye.
- Seye, you're my brother.
- Leave him.
Think of the condition daddy is in.
Consider daddy's condition.
Just give me back his money.
What are you saying now?
Crying stupid tears at your age.
You're saying his condition, is it not
better that he dies than for us to die?
Everyone prays that
their father dies before them,
- Yes.
- so why do you want to kill yourself?
- My father should die?
- Is he only your father?
Bastard! You are a bastard!
- He has killed my husband!
- You're a bastard!
My father should die?
Hey, okay, beat me!
- I don't want to touch you.
- Beat me! Touch me!
- Seye, I will beat you up.
- Help me!
He wants to kill me.
- Your life!
- Seye, listen to me.
I'm coming back!
I'm not gonna beat you.
I will kill you!
I can't see.
Come. Come and fight. Useless fellow.
- My husband.
- I can't see anymore.
- My eyes. Hospital.
- Come.
- My father should die?
- Come here!
- Sewa, come on!
- Come!
Sewa, this is more important.
- My father should die?
- I can't see anymore.
- I can't see anymore. Hospital.
- Come. Let's go.
You are a bastard!
- Hospital.
- Close the gate!
- Close the gate!
- Sorry.
- I can't see anymore.
- Please.
Ayo,
you also know that I can't stay back.
How do you want people to look at me?
When people know that I am the one
that got my father into the mess,
how do you want them to perceive me?
Don't try to pacify me.
You see, Ayo,
if daddy doesn't curse me I should know
that I am battling with curses right now.
See, my father is old.
We squandered our father's
retirement gratuity. It's unheard of.
Look,
I already told you. Please for God's sake,
come and pick me up
by five a.m. tomorrow morning.
I am taking an early flight, please.
Better still, if you can come
and sleep in my house this night
then we can leave early tomorrow morning.
Okay.
If that's how you can do it, I will
be waiting for you in the morning.
Thank you.
Seye,
you ruined my life. You implicated me.
Why did I trust
my younger brother this much?
Daddy, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Wole,
I'd be lying if I claim everything
you said is not confusing to me.
It confused me too, Bode.
I haven't gotten over it at all.
- While I was away?
- Honestly.
That was what happened.
After I sold my house in Agric and paid
the debt after they began to chase me
I became relaxed a little bit.
- Oluwole.
- Yes.
You have a fault.
- You really do!
- How?
When it got to that stage
you should have sent for me.
You would have called me, it's not like
there's no means of communication.
Bode, how will I say it?
How will I say my children duped me?
I went through hell.
When there is life there's hope only works
when there is something to fall back on.
When something is finished,
it's indeed finished.
I am finished.
May God not let us be finished.
Amen.
- It won't be finished for us.
- Amen.
-Wole,
-Yes?
it is not finished for you.
Do you understand?
It is not finished for you.
It is time to reap what you sowed.
Yes.
- You got it.
- Exactly.
- It's peace of mind.
- Exactly.
- That's how it's supposed to be.
- Exactly.
It's called a pot.
A pot one drinks
from should not be broken.
- We need to respect it. You're right.
- Exactly.
We should discuss something important.
The business I discussed with you,
what is going on with it?
Can I go ahead with
the comprehensive feasibility study?
You see, it seems
I am not thinking
of any business now. Yeah.
I am not thinking about it.
I don't want to rush.
There's no need to rush.
No, it's not about rushing or not.
I have done my findings.
I just want to seek your consent.
After I have sought
your consent then I can go ahead.
You see, Bankole is also interested.
Yes, I have discussed
it with him and he is ready.
Listen,
Bode, I am not ready.
You might have to go ahead with Bankole.
Where will I get the money?
I bank on you.
I believed that when
you were ready that we'll... you know?
Although, Bankole
is there but is you that I know.
You're the one I know.
I don't want to delay you.
I wouldn't want to be
the one to disturb your plans at all.
You and Bankole can go ahead.
If it's about money,
I can give you some money to support
and you will return my money back to me.
Okay.
- Bode the prince.
- Oluwole the chief.
- Oluwole the chief.
- We all benefit from it.
Yes.
That's how it is.
Don't you know you have
an investment somewhere?
Bode I didn't see it as an investment.
I saw it as you people doing something
and I supported you with ten million.
You have returned my money.
You see if one makes
future investment, they will be secured.
It's not just an interest
you have in it, you're also a shareholder.
- In that business?
- Yes.
It is there.
What you have there
is quite enough for you.
Bode,
I have offended you.
- How?
- I have offended you.
The other day you brought
the business proposal to me
and I said I wasn't interested.
I was trying to be careful.
Yes, I was trying to
be careful with partnerships.
That's why I thought
that since my children are there,
let me bring them closer
so we can do it together.
I didn't know anyone can be a betrayer.
Anyone can betray you.
Anyone can be a betrayer.
Married couples betray each other,
children betray their father
and friends also betray themselves.
Anyone can betray you.
- You know my father is an herbalist.
- Yes.
Friendship is at times
more valued than kinship.
That's the panegyric
of the occult as regards friendship.
But at the same time, Yoruba is so broad.
It also says
we should be careful.
There are no friends anymore,
just companions.
Nothing stops one from being careful.
It's not a crime to be careful.
One has to be very careful.
There is no crime in it.
Or we should say there's
nothing bad in doing a joint venture.
Yes. Two heads are better than one.
Despite the experience I've had?
There is nothing in it. It's not a crime.
The only thing is
whenever you want to venture
into a joint partnership
make sure there is proper documentation.
Do you understand me?
Proper documentation.
Regardless, you know,
the relationship that exists.
That was the mistake I made.
I thought since they were my children,
so we could work together.
I've heard you.
You have never heard that
a child used his mother for ritual?
I've heard it before.
You have never heard that
a husband used his wife for ritual?
I've heard about it very well.
You have never seen a wife who kidnapped
her husband because of money?
Things have gone very bad.
If someone decides they won't do anything
they won't have anything eventually.
If you don't do anything
you won't have anything.
Forgive me.
Look,
I don't see you as...
You...
Your investment is there,
nothing happened to it.
- I am a shareholder in that business?
- You are a shareholder.
Thank you, my friend. Thank you very much.
Let me send you something first.
We can't kill ourselves.
Thank you.
- Seye.
- What happened?
- There is a problem.
- What is it?
It's my elder sister.
- You know my elder sister, right?
- Yes.
I was told she died.
- I'm in trouble.
- There's a problem.
Calm down.
God will forgive her.
Why do you keep saying you're in trouble?
It won't be a recurrent death.
My husband,
this present situation
is more than a recurrent death.
- I am doomed.
- Sewa.
Okay, calm down.
There is nothing that can't be handled.
Calm down, what happened?
Please for God's sake, my husband.
I didn't do it intentionally.
- I did it because of us.
- Did what?
The money you gave me then,
the one you told me to put in my account.
What happened? What money?
I kept it in my elder sister's account.
Whose account? Which money?
Whose account did you put the money?
Why are you talking like this?
You dare not.
You kept it in your sister's account?
Why didn't you tell me
you wanted to keep it there?
I told you I needed a secure account,
you asked me to put my mind at rest.
Is your elder sister's
account a secure one?
I didn't do it intentionally.
I did it because of us.
You told me that it could be
traced if it was in your account,
that's why you kept it in mine.
But it could be traced to me too,
that's why I thought it was smart
to send it to my elder sister's account.
I didn't know
she was going to die so soon.
It seems like
you're out of your mind! Sewa!
Did you get approval from me before
putting it in your elder sister's account?
Would I have given you approval
to put it in your elder sister's account?
Is your elder sister's account secure?
We have been running
helter-skelter because of that money.
You know that's the only thing we have.
Sewa, you know we don't
have anything elsewhere.
Your elder sister must not die.
She won't dare!
Why did she die? Let's go there!
Lead the way!
Are you alright at all?
Which elder sister died?
Get going!
We won't stop entering
cars because of accidents.
We must make ends meet.
What about the person
who didn't enter a car?
Did they not die?
God should keep protecting us.
Amen.
One will die eventually.
- Yes.
- God.
This woman told me when
she was going out in the morning.
Why did I not stop her
from going out? God, you're so great.
My life.
Sorry sir. Take it easy.
- Accept my condolences.
- Thank you.
- May God be with you.
- Amen.
May it not be recurrent.
Amen.
I'll advise you not to brood, sir.
Don't brood, please.
I am not brooding.
If you brood too much
it might affect your health.
You are needed
to do the things aunty couldn't do.
May you live long.
Amen.
I am not even brooding.
But what I am thinking is that
between you and I,
so I won't see my Abeni anymore?
Who is going to live with me
or be my companion?
Alright.
Don't be offended.
Above all,
I hope you don't mind?
My wife and I want to
discuss something with you.
Can you spare us two minutes?
- Me?
- Yes.
Don't be offended.
We are not annoyed.
Please, don't be annoyed.
Let me attend to them quickly.
This madam seated here
is my wife's biological sister.
Sorry for the loss.
- This is her husband.
- Sorry for the loss.
- Sorry sir.
- May something like this not happen again.
Let me attend to them quickly.
I will be back soon.
Thank you.
Sorry, ma.
Sorry.
- It is well.
- Sorry.
Just like that.
God should have mercy on us.
Thank you, I am grateful.
May you never
experience such by God's grace.
- Amen.
- Sorry for the loss, sir.
- May it not be recurrent.
- Amen.
- May God forgive her sins too.
- Amen.
We are sorry for bringing you outside.
Sewa wants to discuss something with you.
Pelumi's daddy,
accept our condolences.
May it not be recurrent.
Amen.
While my elder sister was alive
I told her to keep some money in her
account for me so I can collect it later.
I didn't know this was going to happen.
That's why I came to ask to ask you
because I know you're her next of kin.
I am here so I can get
the money back into my account.
- Money?
- Yes.
No, she never told me about any money.
She didn't tell me about it.
I am not joking.
- She didn't talk to you about any money?
- At all.
- She should've discussed it with you.
- Yes.
Why won't she talk to you about the money?
She must have talked to you about it.
She told me you're her next of kin.
These are the things about
your sister I used to complain about
and you all would tell me
I was being temperamental.
Look at how secretive she was,
someone I was living with.
She never...
Was she supposed to keep that kind
of thing from me? She didn't tell me.
- I am not joking.
- She's at fault for that. For God's sake,
please sir,
we are begging you in God's name.
Please go to the bank, confirm
the money and withdraw it on our behalf.
- Please for God's sake.
- Forgive my behavior.
Pity me, please.
- Listen, don't...
- The money is a lot, please.
It's not a small amount.
I swear to God, it's 130 million naira.
Can you also see it?
It scared you? It's a lot of money.
- Yes.
- That's why we're anxious.
- Please.
- I beg you.
Look here, you know what?
I'm sorry, I can't promise
that I will do anything about it.
Because what...
I won't lie to you,
my problem is different from yours.
I lost a whole human, my wife.
You're talking to me about money.
I am feeling angry, I am sad.
If you can't wipe my tears,
please, for God's sake, don't add to it.
Please, don't be offended.
- Pelumi's daddy, don't do that.
- Don't leave!
We are talking about money,
why do you want to walk out on us?
We are talking about 130 million naira.
Why are you talking in this manner?
- This is about money.
- Are you alright at all?
Why are you talking to me like this?
Why are you disrespecting me?
Why? Ask your wife, did she tell me
she kept money with my wife?
I didn't tell you I kept money with her,
but I did and I know you're aware.
I am not aware.
Don't be offended by
the way we have been talking to you.
What you'll do for us now is
please, come with us.
Go to the bank, confirm the money in your
wife's account and withdraw it for us.
- That's it!
- It's ours.
If you don't know me, your wife does.
You want to experience madness.
If I get upset I will order
my boys to beat you mercilessly.
- Beat who? I will disrespect you.
- Jesus.
I'll show you that
I am not a responsible person.
I am talking to you about something that
can destroy my life if I don't get it.
You're saying you will summon your boys.
You and your boys will not prosper!
If you were born
a noble birth, hold me. You're foolish.
- Stop it.
- I am not alright.
Seye!
Why did I do this to myself?
Why did I take such a risk?
I kept my belongings
in a house that doesn't have a door.
I am doomed.
I threw away what I had
in the hopes of having something better.
I didn't know my closest associate
will be the cause of my downfall.
No one told me.
I'm in trouble. Where will I start from?
Where? God!
Seye,
- why are you talking in this manner?
- How?
I didn't know
it was going to happen like this.
Why are you blaming me for everything?
Sewa,
I am begging you in God's name,
I'm sorry if I am asked
to blame anyone, who will it be?
Who should I blame?
Should I blame myself?
Was I informed when you wanted to
keep money in your elder sister's account?
Did you get an approval from me?
It seems you're insane. Why are you
talking like a senseless person?
Are you out of your senses?
- Ah.
- No.
Don't let me behave crazily towards you.
No Seye, I won't take that.
I will not take that!
Why are you insulting me?
- Sewa?
- You said I am senseless.
Excuse me, are you in your right senses?
Is your brain working perfectly?
Sewa, you're still talking?
Are you insane?
You are also crazy.
You are out of your senses.
- You're insane.
- I am insane?
You are insane!
I'm talking, you're still talking!
Come on!
You're not supposed to say anything!
That's all I have left in my life.
You kept it with
your elder sister and she died untimely.
It shall not be well with her in heaven.
I'm talking, you're still talking!
Sewa.
Sewa.
Sewa.
Sewa!
Goddamn!
Sewa!
On behalf of
the family of Mr and Mrs Oluwole Adejobi,
once again, I welcome you.
- Thank you.
- Oluwole the chief.
Olabode the prince.
Yeah.
You see, by God's grace...
I am saying it again, by God's grace,
we will use our hands
to accept our blessings.
Amen.
By the time we all retire,
- we will not retire to death.
- Amen!
We will not retire to sickness.
Amen.
It's not yet time,
let's just continue. Let's continue.
Food and everything is surplus.
Right now, I want to call the
celebrant himself to come and address us.
Yeah!
Thank you everybody. Thank you.
Oluwole the chief.
Olabode... Olabode the prince.
- Take care madam. Congratulations.
- Yeah.
Just look at my father.
Look at how daddy is
bouncing like an 18 year old.
His wife also followed
him to protect her property.
What do you expect?
That's why I always tell you
Seye took after your dad
with his stride and style.
I am sure when he was young,
he was a bad nigga.
Are you okay? My father is a bad nigga?
Are you serious at all?
What happened?
How about Seye? I've not seen him.
Seye can't come, he is still in America.
You know I told you
he went there for a course.
- Yeah! No wonder. Oh, no wonder.
- It's keeping him busy.
If Seye was around,
he would bring in a hip-hop artist.
- You know my younger brother very well.
- I trust Seye.
I must dearly confess to you,
I'm overwhelmed.
I am very happy.
They say, the eyes that saw evil and
didn't go blind was waiting for goodness.
- Yes. Yes.
- Isn't it?
We are grateful.
- In good health and wealth will one grow.
- Yes.
We've grown in it
and have left a good legacy.
Thanks be to God. May yours not be ruined.
Amen!
What I just want to tell us is that
you see, responsible
behavior is very important.
Good character is very important
because whatever character
you exhibit in your prime is
what will determine what
you will reap in your old age.
Oh, yes.
We're seeing it now and
we're grateful it is the way it is.
For this reason,
please exhibit good behavior.
Whatever job you do, do it honestly.
Whatever you do, do it with consideration.
Thank you very much.
- Continue clapping.
- Thank you.
Thank you!
We let the celebrant do it.
Now at this juncture,
we want to make a toast.
Yes, we want to give a toast.
The person who will coordinate
that, Banky Osha! Banky Ohsa!
Hello.
Please give
Mr Bankole a round of applause.
Yeah.
One who teaches, is a what?
- Is a teacher!
- Is a teacher.
And what about one who cooks?
- He's a toaster.
- He's not a cooker.
- And one who toasts is a...
- Is a toaster!
- Is a toaster.
- So I am a toaster.
We will sing one song before we toast.
We all have a cup with us, right?
- Yes.
- And drinks to pour in it right?
Yes.
Bodmas,
- stay by my side.
- Alright.
This is friendship though.
- Mischief makers.
- Mischief makers.
- Stay by my side.
- Okay.
Both of them can implicate someone.
You will get up and help me sing one song,
after singing,
you will pour a drink into the cup.
When I say you should toast,
you will do that. Don't let it break.
Avoid breakages.
Please let's stand.
For he is a jolly good fellow
For he is a jolly good fellow
For he is a jolly good fellow!
And so say all of us
-And so say all of us
-Hurray!
For he is a jolly good fellow
For he is a jolly good fellow!
Hurray!
And so say all of us, hurray!
Thank you!
Let's clap!
Bodmas!
Oluwole, pay them no mind
Oluwole, let them talk
Let them gossip
Let them talk
Let them gossip,
Pay them no mind, let them gossip
-Oluwole
-Banky, the big man!
Banky the big man!
-Oluwole the chief
-We can be retirees,
- but we cannot be tired.
- Congratulations
Oluwole, congratulations on today!
Congratulations to all of us.
Including Banky and Bode,
and Oluwole. Congratulations to all of us.
From now on let
everything keep going smoothly.
It would go smoothly
but we can't wait and watch.
A singer says it best, in life people are
now more calculative than emotional.
- They are more calculative?
- They are.
It's true we're retired,
but we can't get tired.
We can't get tired.
You see, because I was thinking
it's best to look for a business to do.
- That's right. That's right.
- Isn't that right?
We're still very agile.
There's still agility in us.
Money must be added to.
If you don't add
to money it will get finish.
- It would finish.
- It would finish.
- May God not let it finish.
- We'll cry if it finishes.
- May God not let us cry.
- That's right.
- Amen.
- Yes. That's the reality.
Once a monkey lands it runs off.
- We'll think of what we can do.
- Yeah.
You know me for that. When it comes to
business I think like, what is going on?
Bode the prince.
Oluwole the chief.
- Olabode the prince.
- How are you?
Yes?
- Well done.
- What happened?
- Congratulations on today's event.
- Thank you.
- I thought you had gone.
- No. Ah!
I wanted the party to end
so I could discuss with you quickly.
While we were talking the other time
and you spoke about doing business.
You know me now,
I started thinking about different things.
Immediately I knew where we were going.
Instantly!
They want to bring in some goods
into the country, it's importation.
It's importation
I'm talking about right now.
That's the business
I think we can do quickly.
It's tiles.
Once it gets here, that set
of tiles are not in this country.
We will be the first to take the delivery.
So, we are gonna make a lot of money.
Bode,
let's leave
the talk for now, let's not rush.
I am not in a rush.
Yes, we shouldn't. We're all tired now.
Go and sleep then I will sleep as well.
When it involves work, I don't get tired.
I don't hear anything
that involves work and get tired.
And it's not about us rushing,
we're not rushing.
What I am thinking of is
that if we get hold of it now,
others will not be able to take it.
Because the condition we will
give to them is that we're to be
the major distributor and
they shouldn't give it to someone else.
Bode I understand you.
I am tired, you should be tired as well.
Go and sleep then I'll sleep too.
Later we will discuss it. Okay?
Okay, no problem.
- I can understand.
- Yeah.
- I know you must be really tired.
- Okay.
I can call you,
I can call you before we sleep.
Don't bother calling me, I would have
slept off and I will put off my phone.
Okay, I have heard you.
Alright.
- My regards to your wife.
- I will tell her.
Ah, I'm tired.
I'm so tired. So tired.
As it is now sir, it's obvious that
we can't make less than 500 million naira
if we invest 300 million naira
in the business.
Five hundred million naira?
Yes sir, and the money
will be made within two months.
- Really?
- Yes.
What you're trying to tell me is
that if we invest
- 300 million naira...
- Yes.
...within two months
we will make 500 million naira?
Yeah. I'm even just saying
two months for the sake of it.
It's possible that it might
not be up to two months at all.
- Are you sure?
- Hundred percent sure, sir.
It's not my first time at all.
- You've been doing it a while?
- Very well.
And you've gotten the results?
Countless times.
That sounds interesting.
- Okay then.
- So...
- What's stopping us?
- What's stopping us is nothing other than,
you know, it's a joint business
so you will drop 150 million naira
and I will also drop 150 million naira.
Once it's complete then we can kick off.
My money is available already.
- Really?
- Yes.
- In that case, what's the problem?
- Okay.
You will get
my 150 million naira tomorrow.
- Oh!
- Yeah.
Very good sir, tomorrow will be perfect.
Because I have a meeting
with them tomorrow by 3:00 p.m., I think.
So I will just take the money along.
They will also be surprised
and see that we mean business.
Sure. Just give me
your details, that's all.
- Of course, I will do that now sir.
- It's a deal.
- It's a deal, sir.
- Okay.
Sir, let me forward it
to you so I don't forget.
Hello.
Calm down this man.
You're a fool for making that statement.
What are you saying?
I am talking about money and
you're telling me to calm down.
If I don't get my money within
24 hours you will be surprised.
Give me my money, I want to do another
business that is better than yours.
Send my money.
If you don't,
I will show you the stuff I am made of.
Yes! I will let you know that
I can't fight but I have people I rely on.
My children will descend on you
and you will become sane.
They will deal with you ruthlessly.
Give me my money!
Thief!
This man wants to scare a stronghold.
He has forgotten that humans use the
mortar any time of the day as they wish.
The key that opens a bank
can't open a mortuary.
Badmus.
I told you it's only a fool
that compares Sango's stone to a gun.
- For God's sake.
- Who is checking me?
- Please for God's sake.
- Who is pricing me?
Who is boiling a stone?
Anyone who boils
a stone can't boil an iron.
- Don't do that.
- Anyone who dares me dies.
- You are welcome.
- Thank you.
- Thanks for yesterday.
- Yes
All is well.
Thank you, we're grateful.
May our friendship not get ruined.
One doesn't thank family.
Where haven't we gone for each other?
- Where is this man?
- Let me get him for you.
Please do.
How is your family?
They are fine,
we're tolerating each other.
You will keep tolerating each other.
- My husband.
- Mm?
- Adunni.
- Good morning.
- I hope you're fine?
- Good morning.
Well done.
- Congratulations on yesterday's event.
- Thank you.
- We will live it in wellness.
- Amen.
- In happiness, joy and good health.
- Amen.
- You will not live in sickness.
- Amen.
I greet you too, thank you.
I am grateful.
- Don't...
- Thanks for standing by me.
- Don't mention!
- Right!
Before I forget,
your friend is downstairs.
- Which friend of mine?
- Bode the prince.
- Bode?
- Yes.
He said he wants to see you.
- Okay, I am coming.
- Okay sir.
Okay.
One, two...
I'll...
Olabode the prince.
Oluwole the chief.
Olabode the prince.
Oluwole the chief.
Tread carefully.
Definitely.
Now that we are retired,
we must tread carefully.
Yes, we must.
- How are you?
- I am fine.
There you go.
- I greet you for yesterday's event.
- Thank you.
May God give you the strength to live it.
- Amen. Sit down.
- We will spend the rest in wellness.
Amen.
We shall continue to live it.
Amen.
- You're here this morning.
- Yes.
They say if work doesn't change time,
- one doesn't make it late to work.
- Yes.
Whatever is paramount
to one is what they will focus on.
Concerning what you told me,
what we discussed yesterday.
As soon as I heard it,
- I've been working tirelessly.
- I trust you.
I have been working tirelessly on it.
What are we going to do?
I have gotten a solution.
I know what we can do.
You see...
I am coming.
Let's do it this way.
Let's see.
Wole,
I thought of a business,
it's importation.
- Really?
- Good enough,
the person that will help us bring
the goods into the country, Mr Douglas,
he is still around.
But, he is going back tomorrow.
His flight is slated for tomorrow night.
I figured this was an opportunity.
Someone who's going to bring it in for us.
We should find a way to raise money
quickly and give him part payment.
Even if we can't get all the money now,
let's give him something
so he can know we're serious.
That's why I decided to see you quickly.
Thank you.
- Bode...
- Yes?
Olabode the prince...
it seems we will
exercise patience a little bit.
- Patience?
- Yes.
This time is different
from when you were in the civil service.
Everything you want to do...
All these gratuities
and everything you were given
doesn't take time to finish.
It takes no time at all.
Any pot that one does not pour water
into regularly doesn't get filled.
It won't get filled.
Let's not waste time on it.
Let's do something as soon as possible.
Let's be patient about it.
Let's not rush into anything.
Let's exercise patience.
We shouldn't be patient.
If we're patient,
it will keep taking time.
Moreso, the dollar
keeps increasing every day.
Things keep getting expensive everyday.
We still have to be patient.
Oluwole.
I am answering you, Bode.
Aren't you interested anymore?
Something like that.
It seems like I'm not interested,
let's leave it for now.
- We should leave it for now?
- We have to leave it for now.
Leave it for now. Leave it for now how?
You were the one who told me
we should find a business to do together.
I understand and
I have said we should be patient.
Let's be patient.
Let's put... I am not interested anymore.
Is that your final decision?
I think so.
- We're not fighting, Wole.
- I am not angry.
Thank you Bode.
Alright, no problem. I have heard you.
I will look for a way to...
I won't want to disappoint myself.
Thank you very much, Bode.
- Alright.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Thank you, Bode.
Yeah.
Your friend has gone so quickly?
Yes, it was a quick one.
I was coming to ask him what he would eat.
You should have done that earlier.
You should have done that earlier.
- Really?
- Yes.
I hope there's no problem?
Why did he leave so quickly?
There is no problem.
- He came to talk to me about a business.
- Okay.
- Actually, I discussed it with him.
- Okay.
But I won't lie to you,
I am no longer interested.
- Really?
- Yes.
Both of you are friends,
but if your mind tells you
not to do it then follow your mind.
That's what I will do.
- Thank you my dear.
- Better.
Just give me tea, let me eat breakfast.
Yeah.
Exactly, sir.
That and the one I sent to you before.
If you check it and you're okay with it,
I think we should be good to go.
Alright.
Ah, no.
That's not what we discussed.
I told you earlier that
I would have to take 75% upfront.
And that's the reason
I agreed to do the work for you.
No.
See, I'm so sorry to say this
but I am a very principled person.
My yes is always yes
while my no is always no.
No.
It's either 75% or no deal, sir.
Don't be annoyed.
But if you think about it later
and think you should
give me the money as we discussed,
then
you can contact me.
Yeah. Do enjoy the rest of your day.
Alright.
Hello daddy.
Yes sir.
I hope you're also doing good?
What about mummy?
Daddy don't be annoyed,
let me ask this first.
Daddy, I hope
you're using your medications?
Thank God.
I will come.
Okay. That time is fine.
Yeah, I love you so much, daddy.
Yes sir.
- Boss.
- Richard.
- Good afternoon, sir.
- Good afternoon. How are you?
Welcome. I'm fine, sir.
Young man,
don't you understand Yoruba at all?
I understand it very well and I can speak.
But you know in the line of duty, you have
to converse in the official language.
English speakers don't die at home.
Is my daddy at home?
Absolutely. He's upstairs.
He's been in since morning.
Don't speak English to me again.
He is at home sir.
- Richie!
- Yes sir.
Daddy, I am sorry it took so long
before I came to see you.
No problem.
Some people wanted
to have a meeting with me today,
I didn't know it won't hold anymore.
I discovered their CEO
doesn't want to pay,
so I just disregarded them.
But I am very sure
that in the next one month,
they will come back to beg and find me.
I will be able to act
pompous towards them by then.
-That's good. Anyway,
-Yes sir.
Rotimi, I won't blame you.
One can only be proud of
what he knows how to do.
- Yes sir.
- That's right.
- God will continue to help you.
- Amen daddy.
Yes.
I called you because
I want to do a business.
Okay.
I don't know the exact one to do
that's why I sent for you.
Daddy,
you have choices, you shouldn't be lost.
Since you have me,
let me work on that.
I will throw you a bunch of ideas.
You can pick anyone you want.
- That's why I sent for you.
- Okay.
Because I know your capacity.
- Thank you sir.
- And I know the kind of child you are.
- Thank you, daddy.
- And I thank God for that.
How soon will it be ready?
Very soon, since it's your project.
You say what?
Because it's my project...
- Yes sir.
- or our project?
Look, you won't just give
me an idea and leave it.
No! We are in it together.
Yeah.
Daddy, are you in any way
suggesting partnership?
Exactly.
It's a partnership.
Okay! That's also good.
All the same,
I will get back to you very soon.
- Really? Very soon?
- Yes sir.
- It must not take long.
- No, it won't take long.
If one is ready, time shouldn't be wasted.
- Alright sir. Yes sir.
- Okay?
I know you hustle here and there
but don't let it take time.
Alright daddy.
- I still want to see mummy upstairs.
- Why not?
- Go and meet your mother.
- Yes sir.
Go and meet your mother.
You good?
Yes, I am. Thanks babe.
Why are you thanking me?
I asked you to join me and you refused.
I have done my own for God's sake.
Thank you all the same.
Seye-bobo!
Big brother, what's up?
I am in God's hands, what about you?
We are also fine here.
Big brother, what happened?
Your mother called me
to plead with you to get married.
Marry?
Don't mind mummy.
Which lady is good
out there that one can marry?
- I...
- What!
Hello.
Hello.
I can hear you, bro.
Seye,
the network is bad. I have spoken wrongly
but there's no cause for alarm.
I will call you back.
Babe!
Babe!
Sewa,
you're not serious at all.
Is it me you and your husband are mocking?
You both are mocking me, right?
Don't worry, no problem.
I'll remember this.
You will come back and meet me.
Once you come back,
I'll show you my true colors.
Really? Alright, there's no problem.
I hope you're fine?
Give the phone to your husband
so he can talk to his dad.
Give him the phone.
Hold on for your father.
Hello.
Seye, hope you're good?
How is everything?
No, I am not angry. Angry for what?
Will I tell you to leave your course
and come over for my retirement party?
No, it's not possible.
Your reason for being there is important.
You have plenty of time.
- Yes.
- Okay?
We still have so
many parties to do together.
God will continue to help us.
I hope you're fine?
Don't forget what I told you,
always take things with ease.
When you get to a strange land,
you should always tread carefully.
Alright? Okay.
God will keep being with you.
- Amen.
- Alright dear.
Yes, I will talk to you later.
- Bye. Yeah.
- I am grateful, thank you
for telling them to
always tread carefully.
- They shouldn't put us in trouble.
- They shouldn't put us in trouble.
My Seye, blessed child.
My Oluwarotimi.
Yes daddy.
- I'm proud of you.
- Thank you, sir.
Daddy, have you seen what I sent to you?
It's in front of me.
I have gone through everything.
I'm highly impressed.
As a matter of fact,
all the ideas you sent are good.
You see,
I am very happy.
I won't lie, you made my day.
There is no other thing
for us to do than just kickstart.
You can't stand still when dancing.
Let us take off quickly.
Or what do you think?
Alright, that won't be a problem, sir.
I will come and see you so we can
have a meeting on how to take off.
Alright, I will be expecting you.
I'll be ready for you.
Thank you. Thanks, my dear. That's my son!
Love you always, okay?
Bye.
Oluwole the chief.
Olabode the prince.
What happened?
Why did it take you so much time?
I called you tirelessly
before you called me back.
I slept.
You didn't use to sleep
for that long before.
You said it too, that I didn't use to
sleep for that long before.
That was before.
That was before,
it's not now that my mind is at peace.
It's peace of mind.
Since Rotimi has been in charge
of the business and is handling
the report, I have been
getting makes me happy.
- Great!
- It puts my mind at rest.
So I sleep so well.
- Awesome.
- Thank God.
More so, I am enjoying my retirement.
-That's beautiful. You see,
-Yes.
that's what I always tell people.
If someone does not raise a child well,
they can't reap from the child.
- Yes.
- There are benefits in training a child.
Especially when you give
him qualitative education.
- Exactly, that's the truth.
- That's it.
- That's how it is.
- Yes.
- There are lots of benefits.
- That's the truth.
Thank God.
Thank God we have someone
like Rotimi who can do better than us.
It's a must for him to do better.
Don't you know ten
eyes can't be like yours?
No matter how bad one's child is,
you can't compare him to a porter.
Yes.
And blood is thicker than water.
Blood is thicker than water?
You are right.
- Oluwole, you've spoken well, that's true.
- Yeah.
- May God give us long life.
- Amen.
- May God let us live long.
- Amen.
And we shouldn't
become ill-mannered elders.
- Amen.
- Let's not become ill-mannered elders.
Even when we die,
our children will take charge.
Exactly. They are the ones
who will take charge. It's a must.
Is it a curse?
What is that, big brother?
Once you all get back from
abroad and you get to the airport,
you start complaining about the heat.
Is it not hot?
My brother-in-law, you should
know he is joking with you.
Seye, you are pulling my legs?
You are... Oh, good.
For that, I will put
off my AC and I won't wind down.
- Don't do that, please.
- Don't do that. Don't kill us with heat.
- My dear, it's because of you.
- Thank you.
I'm purposely teasing you.
He doesn't like people who return
from abroad and begin to act posh.
- He doesn't like it at all.
- No, it's not because of that alone.
It's because we shouldn't believe
any country is better than ours.
Nigeria's weather is
the best in the whole world.
- Honestly, I agree.
- True.
Honestly, God blessed us with that.
You're lucky.
- You're the one I considered.
- Thank you.
Let me increase it.
Don't hurt yourself with the cold.
- My dear, you must be tired.
- Sir?
I wanted to ask if you could prepare food
for me when we get to your house.
I will prepare it for you.
- You're my brother-in-law, why wouldn't I?
- You're spoiling him.
Are you the one that will cook it?
You should be the one feeding us.
Thank you so much.
- How was your trip?
- Fine, thank God.
- I hope you are fine?
- I am grateful to God.
We're managing it, we're dealing with it.
Wow, this is serious.
What is it?
You kept us waiting.
You turned eight months into ten months.
- Exactly.
- You should have stayed back.
That's not it, mummy.
We finished our course two months ago,
but your son refused to come back home.
Speak up, am I lying?
Honestly, I didn't want to come back home.
Yeah! That place is interesting to be at.
But you elders often say
a strange land can't be like one's home.
Thank God you know
that a strange land
can't be like one's home.
- Yes.
- Don't be like some people who sit abroad
and keep saying the country is not good.
Instead of them coming home so
we can join hands to build this country.
- Right?
- True.
Yeah, that's the best thing.
- It's good to be home.
- We are grateful to God.
- We're happy to see you again.
- We're also happy to see you.
- I missed you so much.
- Thank you, ma.
I hope Seye didn't stress you over there?
What's "hmm"?
Are you supposed to think about it?
- He didn't stress me.
- That's better.
- Somebody that I know.
- She's covering for him.
-My Adesewa,
-Mummy.
there is Amala and Gbegiri with Ewedu
and bush meat with peppered snail.
Do you want that or something else?
There is nothing
you give us that we won't eat.
We will go into the kitchen together.
- I trust you.
- I'm coming my dear.
- Alright dear.
- Let the food
be sweet.
Okay sir.
- Seye!
- Yeah, dad?
Let us gist.
- So how's it going? How is...
- Everything is going on smoothly.
- You're just getting better-looking.
- What will I do?
You don't want to age.
After my retirement, I have been resting.
No, don't tell me that.
I told you that it's ten trailers we want.
No, four can't work.
Correct that part and do it.
Make sure you do it,
I will get back to you.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Hello.
Yeah, good evening.
Ten?
Sixteen?
That's 16.
Sixteen chillers...
Okay don't worry, we will do it for you.
Don't worry, we'll do it.
Alright, thank you.
Do enjoy the rest of your day.
Thanks.
Big brother, what exactly is it?
What is it? Do you want to kill yourself?
You're answering one call after the other.
I hope your salary is robust?
Because daddy knows how to use a person.
What's wrong with you?
This is not about him using me.
Daddy and I are in a partnership.
We both own the business.
Even at that,
you should have time for yourself.
With the way you're doing, I am not sure
you will have time for any other thing.
You're the only one exporting local rice,
you might even be exporting locust beans.
You might also be exporting palm oil.
Not only not palm oil,
even white palm wine.
Are you mocking me?
I am not mocking you but the work
is too much, create time for yourself.
It's not everyone that will do a flashy
job like the entertainment you do.
- You're mocking me too.
- No, I'm just saying.
It's not like I don't work
but I don't just like slow work.
I don't like slow business.
- This is slow business?
- You're doing slow business.
If it was entertainment,
you will get paid immediately.
- Sorry, I'm sorry.
- You see?
I will talk to you later.
Hello.
I'll call you later.
Hello. Yeah.
- Hello?
- How much?
Sewa,
you visited us today.
You turned yourself
to a moon that's being looked for.
- My sister.
- Take this
my dear.
When did I travel?
What about before you left?
When was the last time we saw you?
Okay.
- You're welcome, dear.
- Thank you.
We're trying to make ends meet.
Don't be annoyed.
And you will not encounter
problems by God's grace.
- Amen.
- God will protect you for me.
Amen.
Pelumi's daddy,
please accept this
little thing I bought for you.
- This must be a wristwatch.
- Yes.
So I will use a foreign
wristwatch in my lifetime.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, my dear.
Here, this is yours, my sister.
All these for me?
Sewa?
Thank you, my sister.
Thank you, I am grateful.
You will continue to go higher.
The hands of a giver always go high,
you will keep going high by God's grace.
Pelumi's mummy,
your sister made me remember
when I was in secondary school.
I used this wristwatch
when I was in secondary school.
In fact the name on it
made me know that it's cheap.
Pelumi's daddy,
that wristwatch is not cheap.
How much did I even buy it then?
- I want to remember how much I bought it.
- Sewa,
don't waste your time,
I know how much they sell it.
I used it in secondary school very well.
But it's good the way
you reminded me of it.
Do you understand? Thank you
for what you bought for my wife.
Thank your sister on my behalf
for buying me a wristwatch.
Let me excuse you
so you can discuss better.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Thank you, I am grateful.
May you continue to prosper.
The hands of a giver are always high,
you will continue to prosper.
- I hope you are fine?
- Yes, I am fine.
I hope there's no problem?
Look at you!
I am happy to see you.
So sir, once I leave Bayelsa, I'll use
the opportunity to cover the whole of Edo.
- Alright.
- Then I will go to the North.
I will start from the North Central
then to maybe North East.
But the trip will take me
a month before I return.
One month? For what?
I am thinking we don't
have to go down to these places.
Look, my own is that we should buy
the food items and export them.
- That's all.
- No daddy, that's not all.
That's not... Daddy,
we have to do something that
will make us beat our competitors.
Yeah.
Just like this trip I want to embark on,
you will have to permit me.
A state like Benue...
Benue alone can feed the entire nation.
They harvest twice in a year.
- Really?
- If we go there
we will buy things in bulk
at discounted prices and bring them here.
The ones we will keep here to sell
and the ones we will export.
In North Central, like in Kwara State,
we will buy groundnut.
Like the kuli-kuli processing,
I said we should begin.
Our people abroad want to eat kuli-kuli.
Daddy, that's how we will
stay ahead of our competitors.
I didn't even see it
from this better angle you did.
Yes sir. That's why
you have a brilliant son.
And I took after you with that.
- Yes sir.
- Keep it up.
Thank you, daddy. Thank you, sir.
- Yeah.
- Thank you, sir.
- Alright.
- Yes sir.
Yeah
- Big brother.
- Yes, Seye.
Yeah
- Make do with this.
- Seye, are you for real?
You're really giving me
garri and groundnut as a guest?
Did you think I was joking?
- I can't cook anything.
- Seye.
Sewa has gotten a new job,
so please manage it.
-Seye,
-Yes?
even as a bachelor, I don't take
garri and groundnut in my house.
You're a bachelor,
that's why you learned how to cook.
I'm a married man.
My wife will cook for me.
You're not serious, you should know that.
Are you okay?
What's on your mind?
- No.
- Spit it out.
I am thinking about your company. I mean...
Which company?
Jobi and Sons of course.
What's wrong with Jobi and Sons?
Big brother,
that company is lagging behind.
It's not growing the way it should.
There are opportunities to explore.
Seye,
I do know there are more
opportunities to be explored.
But we can't do everything.
Already, we have a printing press,
we are into raw food exportation.
I insist there are more
opportunities to explore, big brother.
Feed me then.
I know what I am saying.
Look at you.
I mean, you work morning, day and night.
You work like a horse.
Daddy knows how to use a person.
Come on!
I am not complaining.
In fact, I'm okay.
Seye,
the company
in question belongs to all of us.
You should get what I am trying to say.
Between you and I,
which new idea does daddy have?
Thirty-five years of civil service.
He can't have any new ideas.
Imagine if it's the young brains
we have we use to run this company.
Just imagine the huge profit we will make.
Yes, you can imagine the kind
of opportunities we will explore.
Goddamn.
You will be scared.
The company in question will grow,
we will also grow.
No.
I've heard everything you've been saying,
but as for this... this type of growth,
don't discuss that with me.
Don't interfere in it.
This type of growth?
You don't understand
- what I am trying to say.
- I know what you're trying to say, Seye.
Just leave me and daddy to run
the company the way we're running it.
- Leave us.
- It hurts me.
We're okay like this. We're moving.
You don't know my value, honestly.
- Seye, I don't your value.
- I swear.
We're fine.
Seye, I will leave
your garri for you to drink.
- No, drink it.
- Okay.
I want to take you somewhere.
I will take you out today.
You can't take me out,
I will take you out. What do you know?
- I will take you out today.
- Leave me alone.
- What is the matter with you?
- What do you know?
-Rotimi,
-Yes sir.
I am happy about
these reports I am seeing.
- Thank you, sir.
- No.
It means we will make
so much money this season.
- Yes. Hopefully, sir.
- Yeah.
That's our projection too.
Especially from
the part of the printing press.
- Okay.
- You know at the end of the year
people like printing and doing events.
So our projection
is that we should make enough money.
By God's grace.
What surprised me
most is the food exportation.
I didn't know there
was so much money in it.
Daddy, people will eat.
There is money in it.
It's just that if one doesn't know
the business well before getting into it,
you can run into debt.
We will not incur debt,
we will make profits.
Amen.
I want to use this medium to tell you
that your mum and I will be traveling out,
- Okay.
- for holiday.
And we will be gone awhile.
We might spend months before we come back.
- Wow!
- Yeah.
That's not bad,
both of you have to rest from
the hustle and bustle of everyday work.
- Exactly.
- But daddy,
I wanted to come and see you before.
I have a business idea I want to
pitch to you to see if we can do it.
What business is that?
Daddy, I am wondering if
Jobi and Sons can go into entertainment.
Like having chains of nightclubs.
Do you understand? So that
later we can go into musical promotion.
You see daddy, that's something
the new age youths like so much.
It will be lucrative. Because,
if you walk a short distance, It will
be hard not to find a lounge or club
that is popping So,
if Jobi and Sons quickly break into
that market, we'll be able to take over,
even from people in the industry.
If we have a lot of it in strategic places
it will favor us, sir.
Well, it's not a bad idea. But,
the issue is that
we shouldn't do so many things.
Let's focus on what we're doing for now.
As we're continuing with it,
we will get many proceeds from it.
But this one,
- put it aside.
- Daddy, sir...
If a blacksmith puts too many
irons in the fire, trouble is coming.
Daddy, I understand you but,
this is what I want you
to understand, sir,
the business is in vogue, daddy.
Besides, I can't envision it,
Rotimi, I can't envision it. Put it aside.
Do you understand?
- Okay sir.
- God will keep blessing what we're doing.
- Amen. Very well, sir.
- Yeah. Okay.
- God will protect you on the journey.
- Amen.
And I wish you the very best of luck.
- Amen.
- You hear?
Thank you, daddy.
- It's my pleasure.
- Thank you sir.
The pleasure is mine.
- Thank you sir.
- Oh, come...
You how?
You're a lion.
I know you must have found a white girl
you got down with over there.
- A white girl?
- Yes.
While Sewa is there?
Big brother, it's impossible.
She monitored me
closely while we were there.
- Really?
- Sewa?
You're acting like you don't know her.
You don't mean it.
She can be very jealous.
Okay.
- What are you doing?
- I am doing God's wish.
Dress up and let's go into town.
Let us go out.
No. Bro, I can't go out.
Why?
What I am thinking about
presently is too much for me to go out.
What are you thinking about?
Seye, you see,
I have this great business idea.
But daddy is not buying it.
What kind of business idea is it?
Okay.
I am thinking
if we have a very big nightclub
in a very strategic place,
it will bring money in for us.
But as much as I am trying to sell it,
our old man is not buying it.
Daddy is old-school, he can't buy it.
He can't see what
you're seeing in the business.
Old man? He is old-school.
Very lucrative business.
If it is well planned.
What are you saying?
Having a nightclub in a strategic place,
it's a lucrative business.
Do you know how much
the youths spend on having fun?
They always compete in clubs,
they buy drinks any which way.
They spend a lot, so much.
And things they sell in the club
don't have price control.
In the club
the bottled water
they sell for 100 naira outside
can be sold for 2000.
Nobody will stop them.
- Yes!
- Seye.
- Very good business.
- Seye,
what you're saying to me in a nutshell
is that the business
I am thinking of is not something bad.
I swear in God's name.
The profit daddy will make in one year
is what he will make in
two months even in triple folds.
I have also done my feasibility studies,
but how will I sell it for daddy to buy?
Forget about daddy, I have told you
that both of us should roll.
This is a business
I know about, I am street.
I'm experienced.
I am exposed.
I know about this thing.
You're gonna thank me later.
Accept it.
Brother,
this means we are in business.
- Really?
- Welcome on board, bro.
Yeah!
Now I can see that I was not mad.
The thing was almost making me go insane.
- Yeah.
- He will thank you later.
We should celebrate this,
go and change your clothes, let's go out.
I am not going.
Go and do the preparations
then let me know.
I can't go, I have to do
something on my laptop.
Go out and have fun.
Don't kill yourself with work.
- I will go out tomorrow.
- If anyone sees you
they will think you're an extrovert.
Extrovert how?
You won't womanize and still won't go out.
Do you take selfies?
Answer me!
What caused the delay?
I'm sorry, sir.
I felt I should do both tomorrow morning.
Listen to yourself.
At your age,
I am sure you're an elderly person.
- What's the meaning of this?
- I am sorry sir.
You're delaying the daily report.
You turned it to something to pile up.
Look here, I won't take that.
I would never take that.
- I am sorry sir.
- What is wrong with you?
Do you even have any experience?
I mean, for how long
have you been working?
Few years ago, sir.
Did I ask how many years? I said how long?
Okay. When did you graduate?
Some years back.
Don't tell me some years,
the exact year you graduated. I mean,
for how long have you been a graduate?
I want to know, how many years ago?
- Five years ago.
- You see.
I don't know the reason why my brother
will employ inexperienced people like you.
Turned the daily report into...
And you, what about
what I told you to get?
Sir, I will be done very soon.
- You will soon be done?
- Yes sir.
Oh God.
Listen, let me tell you guys,
-now that I am around,
-Okay sir.
I will not tolerate any form of laziness,
- inefficiency or inexperience.
- Okay sir.
- Do you understand?
- Yes sir.
If anyone misbehaves,
you're fired. You are gone.
So, it's either you move
with me or you're out.
- No, we are in, sir.
- We are in, sir.
- You're in?
- Yes sir.
Better.
I prefer the first one.
With the way I viewed it,
it's not the kind of business
that can get one troubled.
No, at all!
But what I am thinking is
the money involved will be so much.
No, it's not a lot of money.
What are you saying?
It's not so much money.
We are talking in the neighborhood
of just 100 million naira.
- Bode!
- Yes?
One hundred million? That's too much.
- It's not much.
- It's a lot.
No! It's not so much.
Don't you know the higher you put
into business, the higher the profit?
Okay, can't we start
with 40 to 60 million?
It's not like 40 million can't do it,
even with ten million,
one can achieve a business.
But you might not get
more than 4000 naira.
What use would that be?
That's the way I see it.
The more you invest
then the more profit you get.
Okay, where do we
get more money to fund it?
Banky,
- you don't have a 100 million?
- I don't have.
You don't have a 100 million?
- How do I get it?
- You have friends.
I know so many
of your rich friends. Talk to them.
Whatever your friends can spare,
it's not like you won't return it.
You are returning the money.
In that case,
let's talk to Wole then.
- Leave him out of it.
- Wole?
Leave Wole alone out.
Don't go there at all.
Banky don't go there.
- Why?
- Don't talk about him.
We are talking of someone
who has this. Who has this.
Business acumen.
- Wole has it.
- Business... No!
I am telling you something!
I am talking about
somebody who is grounded.
Well grounded!
Busines-wise. Somebody who is rooted.
- Rooted?
- Yes!
- Grounded?
- Grounded.
You see, I have done my analysis.
When you invest 100 million naira,
are you with me?
It is not about making 100% gain, no.
It's about making 150% gain.
- As a business man?
- Exactly.
I believe we all got the report
of last month's records in our mails?
Yes sir.
I told the secretary to send
it to each and every one of us.
Alongside our behavioural reports.
The Yoruba say if one's masquerade
dances well it encourages the drummers.
- Sure.
- Honestly,
I must confess
that I am highly impressed
with the account and sales department
headed by Mr Adejobi Seye.
Kudos to you Mr Seye.
Thank you. Thank you guys.
I want to let you know
that I am not only impressed,
but that department also
made so much money for this company.
So having said that...
My brother, don't be annoyed.
Let me quickly cut you.
At this point,
I need to mention something, alright?
I noticed that while he was saying
my department is the best and
it is making money
all of you were clapping.
Because I use my brain.
Yes, I used my brain
to develop my department.
I want you also to learn,
use your brain to develop your department.
- Mr Adejobi.
- Sorry brother.
- Let there be progress in this company.
- Mr Adejobi?
All of you that I scold, I don't do it
for no reason, I lead by example.
- Use this.
- Seye!
Sorry brother. Sorry.
- It's just an opportunity.
- Mr Adejobi, point taken.
Alright, big brother.
Yeah.
I will implore all HODs present
to suggest what
they can bring to the table
for the progress of this company.
Sir.
Yes Folake, please.
As the head of store-keeping department,
I want to suggest that
- maybe we should arrange...
- What do you want to suggest?
Have you submitted
your suggestions to me for me to review?
- Mr Adejobi.
- No, because
- I don't know what you want to suggest.
- Mr Adejobi.
Big brother,
most of them are not independent.
- Seye!
- They are not independent.
What have they done
to improve the company?
- Seye!
- I mean!
Let's call a spade a spade.
- Now, Mr Adejobi... Mr Seye!
- You're saying "I suggest that"...
Mr Seye Adejobi,
please do not
on this seat,
interrupt anybody without my say-so.
- Do you understand?
- Noted. Noted, big brother.
Bring your suggestions to me first.
Why were you knocking like that?
- Did you get money?
- Oh, yes baby!
What money did you get? You even
look so excited. What's happening?
Yes, I'm excited! Oh yes.
You know they say
excitement gives one good wellness.
You know what I'm saying?
So what's making you happy?
Okay babe, let me gist you.
You see, at the meeting
we had in the office today
I was told my department is the best.
That means the Account department
is the best department.
- Is that all?
- That's not all.
You know?
The record also shows that we made
so much money last month. Yeah!
That means there is so much money for us.
- That's good to know.
- Yeah!
So what's the bonus given
to the head of the best department?
I understand what you are trying to say.
I want you to understand that
I am not foolish neither am I stupid.
You get?
I didn't intentionally put the pot outside
for raindrops when it's not drizzling.
- Okay.
- I've got my plans, baby.
Yes!
One who has plans doesn't sleep too deep.
Use your brain.
If one has plans, he will have results.
Let me see.
Baby, come on. Believe me, I've got plans!
You're always talking like
I am not in my right senses.
I understand what you're saying.
I'm gonna surprise you. I've got plans!
And you will see the results. Come on!
Just wait and see.
Why are you talking like this?
I think we should
commence since all HODs are seated.
I want to assure you
that this meeting won't take time.
There is something important
my brother, Mr Adejobi
and I will discuss with you.
Whichever way you take it,
I want you to know
we have your interest at heart.
Big brother.
Why are you perambulating?
Go straight to the point.
Anyway don't worry, let me help you.
Okay? Alright, guys!
We need to tell you guys that this company
wants to diversify into something else.
And the services of most
of you won't be needed any longer.
- Yeah!
- Sir, is anything wrong?
Yeah.
What have we done?
Honestly,
it is an insult for you to ask the company
if anything is wrong. Okay?
But out of my own humility,
I will answer you. Alright?
What we want to start doing, none
of you have the brains to do it with us.
You don't know about it at all.
So even if we're retaining some of you,
we just want to help train you
to get into the new business.
Your brain cannot handle it.
So, listen to your names.
If you hear your name, you're gone.
But,
the company is fair enough, alright?
We will pay everyone's salary
with one month bonus.
That's for the affected ones.
So please, listen to your names.
Number one, of course.
Mr Emmanuel Ogbonna Chuks.
- Me?
- Yes, you.
- Sorry.
- Me? What did I do?
Number two, Miss Folake Adeoye.
- Me.
- Yes.
What did I do?
- And...
- No. That's all.
The rest can go to their various spaces.
- Thank you.
- But, what have we done?
Sir.
Big brother,
a new beginning.
Daddy, you're not sleeping?
Daddy, don't be annoyed.
I was working when you called me, sir.
How about mummy?
Okay.
Daddy, I am so sorry.
I've been so busy lately.
Don't be offended, sir.
Daddy, I didn't want to
burden you with the issue.
As for those people we fired, I discovered
they were being lazy with work.
They are so incompetent now, sir.
That's why we fired them.
Don't be offended, sir.
Tomorrow, sir?
Very well, sir.
I will get it across to you, sir.
Daddy, actually, we...
me and my brother,
we're working on something very big.
And I'm very sure we will make you
very proud when you get back, sir.
Bye sir.
Seye.
This boy will get me into trouble.
- Yeah babe.
- What is it?
Do you see?
My husband!
This is mine and the Lexus is yours.
- The Lexus is mine?
- Yes.
-Babe,
-Yeah.
why would you buy me a Lexus?
You know I like Venza so much
so why get a Lexus for me?
The Lexus is portable, it will fit you.
Do I look like Portable?
You use your portable car,
I don't want it.
Okay, I will call the dealer,
he will take this and bring the Venza.
He doesn't need to take this.
Bring the Venza for me and I will be
taking this to the market. Is it too much?
Babe,
what about the car I was driving before?
Are we going to park it down or sell it?
We will use everything,
we are worth it. Don't overthink it.
Buy me a Venza, I don't like this one.
But all the same, thank you darling.
Thank you, my husband.
- We'll use four cars together?
- Yes.
Well, you will determine
our standard. It's not too much.
I'll make the call right away. Right away!
I will surprise you right away,
today, not tomorrow.
Welcome.
Yeah.
I thank you Lord.
Daddy, you're welcome.
Thank you, Lord.
- We're home.
- You're welcome, mummy.
- Welcome ma.
- Richard!
- Richard!
- Welcome. Daddy, you're welcome, sir.
Richard!
- Yeah.
- How are you?
Daddy, I'm 45% good.
- What do you mean by 45%?
- You know I missed you so much.
But now that you're back,
I'm cocksure it will skyrocket to 100%.
Okay, let it skyrocket anywhere,
we miss you too.
I'm sorry, dad. Sorry, my bad.
Sorry, I didn't allow you to relax.
But I have good news for you, sir.
We'll discuss that later.
Darling, let's go inside.
- Let him say what he wants to say.
- Thank you, daddy.
I just want to inform you that
I'm one of 20 people that were
given scholarship to further my second
degree in University of Ilorin.
- Really?
- It's truly good news.
- Definitely.
- We will celebrate that later.
- Alright sir. Welcome, daddy.
- Okay.
Any other news?
- We're fine sir.
- There must not be any.
- I really missed you, mummy.
- I missed you too.
- Richard the English speaker.
- You should mix English and Yoruba.
Yes sir. You're welcome, sir.
- Richard speaks... English.
- So much...
Okay my dear.
- Please, sit.
- What happened?
- It's daddy.
- What happened to daddy?
Nothing happened to him. Daddy said
he will report to the office on Monday.
Is that why you called me suddenly?
I pray you don't kill me.
If he wants to resume
at the office, let him come.
Seye, why are you talking in this manner?
You're talking like you don't know daddy.
How will I explain to him my reason for
not giving him the report he asked for?
Oh! That's true.
I didn't even think
towards that direction.
You will have to scope him.
Tell him to remain calm that we're
the ones in charge and we're capable.
Seye!
- I should tell him we're capable?
- Yes.
You're talking like
you don't know your father.
We know our father,
he should know his children too.
We're capable.
Relax, don't get yourself worked up.
Is this...
There is no big deal in this, I swear.
- Relax.
- We'll have to face him together.
There is nothing wrong with that,
we didn't do something illegal.
Put your mind to rest.
We did the right thing, it's something
he will thank us for in future.
Let me quickly finish what I was doing.
Don't spoil my chair.
Don't be annoyed.
Popman.
What is it?
Okay!
Yeah, I trust you.
That guy is not an expert.
You should handle it.
Yeah.
I will be expecting your report.
Thank you.
Put your mind to rest,
- Okay.
- he is handling it for me.
Thank God.
You should know I don't like wasting time.
We both got that from daddy.
So I will...
- Daddy. Welcome, sir.
- Welcome sir.
- I hope you're good?
- Fine sir.
- Well done.
- You're welcome sir.
I didn't know you will come around today.
Seye.
Seye, where are you going?
He is here to see you.
I thought you wanted to see him
that's why you came to his office.
He didn't come to see me,
he just got back.
Even if I came here, do I have to come
and see you separately in your office
since I met both of you here?
Come on, sit down.
Oh wow. So sorry, sir.
You're welcome, daddy.
How was your trip, sir?
- Thank God.
- How was your trip?
Thank you.
Rotimi, sit down.
Thank you, sir.
- Welcome sir.
- Yeah.
-Rotimi,
-Yes sir.
why didn't you send the report
I requested for since I went on vacation?
I am very sorry, sir.
I am deeply sorry
for not sending it to you.
I am...
Actually, daddy,
a huge amount of money
came into the company recently
so Seye and I decided to sort it out first
before giving you the report.
So it won't get mixed up.
Exactly.
Have you forgotten
I gave birth to both of you?
I am asking. You met me in this world.
Yes sir.
And I'm not a dunce.
I retired as a permanent secretary.
- Right?
- Yes sir.
Are you telling me about money
that never entered the account?
Money didn't enter the account, money
keeps going out, where does it go?
My big brother,
Rotimi wants to explain it to you.
I want you to explain it to me.
Yeah.
No, I don't want it to look
like I'm disrespecting him.
Cut that, what disrespect?
If either of you explain it,
what's wrong with that? Tell me.
Daddy, you see,
we borrowed the company's money as a loan,
or we can call it an IOU, you know?
We reinvested it back into the company.
-You know? So,
-Yes sir.
basically for the progress of the company.
Yes sir. We didn't loan
the money out, it's in the company.
It's in the company.
And I want to assure you that
- we're going to make you proud.
- Yes sir.
Because what we used it for,
yeah, we will maximize huge profits.
You will be very proud of us.
I swear in God's name.
That's how it will be.
Thank you.
I didn't say I won't be proud of you.
- Do you understand?
- Yes sir.
What is the purpose of the loan
and where did you invest it in?
I want to know.
It's an investment, sir.
- Investment?
- Yes sir.
What kind of investment?
As it is now sir, it's obvious that
we can't make less than 500 million naira,
if we invest
300 million naira in the business.
Five hundred million naira?
Yes sir, and the money
will be made within two months.
- Really?
- Yes.
Calm down this man.
You're a fool for making that statement.
What are you saying?
I am talking about money and
you're telling me to calm down.
Why should I calm down?
For the past six months
you've taken 150 million naira from me
over the useless business
you introduced me to.
We saw the beginning but no results.
I didn't see my capital or my profit
and you're telling me to calm down.
What sort of thing is that?
You keep posting me.
If I don't get my money
within 24 hours you will be surprised.
Give me my money, I want to do another
business that is better than yours.
Send my money.
If you don't,
I will show you the stuff I am made of.
Yes! I will let you know that
I can't fight but I have people I rely on.
My children will descend
on you and you will become sane.
They will deal with you ruthlessly.
Give me my money!
Thief.
This man wants to scare a stronghold.
He has forgotten that humans use the
mortar any time of the day as they wish.
The key that opens a bank
can't open a mortuary.
Anyone who dares me dies.
No.
Is this how my dream will come to pass?
May an evil dream not come to pass.
This is what my dream was about?
God didn't make it unknown to me,
I'm the one who didn't pay attention.
Would I have thought that my children
will betray me or steal from me?
They also own whatever belongs to me.
This was why I was being careful
about doing business with Bode.
What sort of calamity is this?
I didn't pay enough attention to it.
I paid attention though,
that's why I didn't respond to Bode.
God, have mercy on me.
Truly, this is a very bad thing.
It's so bad that
I don't understand anymore.
Because there's no one will be
humiliated and reciprocate with praise.
But I am sure everything
will be sorted, let's exercise patience.
Please.
When? Adunni, when?
When will it be sorted? Answer me.
Why are Rotimi
and Seye trying to disappoint me?
I am asking.
Is it a crime for a parent to bring his
children closer so they can work together?
There is no crime in it at all.
Then what did I do wrong?
They are our future, let us be patient.
They are our future, right?
One cannot have access to
sweet oranges and eat sour ones instead.
These ones are making me regret.
- Yes.
- God forbid.
We will not know sadness,
not to talk of regret.
Are you listening?
I understand everything you said.
I understand you.
In fact, even more than you think.
It's also paining me.
But both of us can't act the same
way so it won't ruin our plans.
- What will happen again?
- So it doesn't become worse than this.
What else can happen asides this?
I am asking you, what else can
happen to me apart from this?
There is no money in the account
anymore, the account is dry.
I don't have anything.
You're saying something else.
Adunni, right now,
I am seeing myself as a barren.
- God forbid.
- I don't have any children.
- Are those children?
- They are children.
No, I am barren.
- These ones aren't children.
- Please for God's sake, don't do that.
They are not children.
Please for God's sake,
may God not make us barren.
Hello Rotimi.
Hello.
Rotimi!
If I am truly your mother,
I want to see you in this house
first thing tomorrow morning.
What is it?
Babe.
Seye.
You left me upstairs
to come and sit here, what is it?
Don't be offended.
I am thinking about our company.
I mean,
I am just thinking
now that daddy is back,
the money I cunningly
collected from Rotimi
they might trace it to my account.
So I am thinking
of moving it out of my account.
I am thinking of a secured account
that I can keep the money.
Seye, sometimes you disappoint me so much.
Why?
You're looking for
a secured account to keep the money.
What is wrong with my account?
Why can't you move it there?
No.
It can be traced
to your account too. You are my wife.
Sometimes, you act like you don't know me.
Alright. Just move the money
into my account, don't worry.
I'll know what to do so
they won't trace it to my acccount.
Don't worry, just move it to my account.
- Really?
- Yes.
Are you okay now?
That's fine.
That's what you have been thinking about?
All my efforts must not be in vain.
- It can't be in vain.
- I trust you.
Why have we been
stressing all these while?
That's good.
Maybe we should sit here together.
I'll move it first thing tomorrow morning.
- No problem, it's fine.
- Yeah.
Rotimi! I called you to come
and see me, you didn't answer.
- I have come to meet you now.
- Mummy, don't be annoyed, I've been busy.
Shut up! You're busy
or you're running from your father?
They say when one fades away,
his offspring will take over.
Are you the ones
your father will leave everything for?
I am doomed, my creator.
You're already making me suffer
in my husband's lifetime
while he is still alive.
What exactly is it?
We just traveled for a few months
and you turned the business upside down.
What is the problem?
Please, don't kill my husband for me.
Mummy, may anything evil not befall daddy.
How will something bad not happen?
I said how will evil not befall him
with this bad behavior
you guys are exhibiting?
You diverted all the money elsewhere.
Money keeps going out
without any coming in.
- Don't let me curse you both.
- No mummy.
You know I carried you
in my womb for nine months.
- Mummy please.
- You sucked my breasts.
Tell Seye that I will get
upset and curse both of you.
- Mummy please.
- What is it?
Mummy, actually, honestly,
we are planning something very big.
By the time we're done with it,
you and daddy will be very happy with us.
Hey! Make us happy henceforth.
Rotimi, tell Seye,
make us happy from this moment.
Do you want to make me unfortunate?
What did I do to you?
What is the new thing that's happening?
What is it that you don't want us to know?
You keep saying
you're planning something big.
Don't plan big, plan small.
- Return our money.
- Mummy.
- Mummy.
- Do you understand?
- Debt is about to kill my husband.
- Mummy.
Debt is about to kill my husband.
- Return our business back to normal.
- Mummy, I don't wish for this as well.
You know daddy and I are in
partnership as regards this business.
I am involved too.
I don't care.
I don't care if you are involved or not.
It's none of my business at all!
My husband is all that matters to me.
Please return my husband's business
to the way you met it.
If you don't do that, tell Seye,
I will close my eyes,
- go naked to disown and curse you.
- Mummy, we will make amends.
Wait a minute, mummy.
My husband, I am done,
I want to be on my way.
- You can go.
- Okay.
Are you not a Yoruba woman?
Didn't you see my reaction
when I said you can go?
Okay, where are you going?
Okay, I am going to Sewa's
place, I won't stay long.
Which Sewa?
Sewa, my younger sister.
No,
I don't know Sewa.
There's no reason
for you not to stay long.
There is nothing
you need to come home for.
It's better you take a mat
or your mattress along to sleep there.
Then you can come back once you're done.
My husband,
you know me very well.
You know I am not a wayward being.
Yes, you are not a wayward being,
you just have nonsense behavior.
Yes! If not...
You don't know I am
aware of what's happening.
Your closeness with
Sewa lately is too much.
What is it? What happened
from the moment she came back?
I know what's happening, let me tell you.
Sewa introduced you to
a man who just got back from abroad.
You're surprised I am aware?
If I get hold of you,
you won't like me. I am not joking.
My husband,
it's true my sister and I
have been so close lately.
You see,
she kept money in my account.
She wants to use it with her husband
but they don't want to touch it.
They don't want to spend it.
That's why they kept it in my account.
There is some cash with her, I go there to
collect it and deposit it in my account.
- Don't be annoyed.
- I am not angry, you caused it.
Had it been you told me this
is the reason, will I get upset?
I don't need to be angry,
she is your sister.
Will I ask her not to keep money
in your account? Is it a crime?
She has the right to keep
money in your account.
I don't know who you love more
between me and money.
- It's you.
- My Akin,
you like money too much.
- Let me quickly be on my way.
- You can go.
- I won't stay long. Thank you, my husband.
- Sorry.
I didn't know.
If you had told me it was money-related,
would I have told you not to go?
- Seye.
- Big brother.
I just got off the phone with Philips.
I asked him for our goods and he said
he didn't get any goods for us this time.
What happened?
I can remember I approved the money
and you told me you've paid him.
Something must be wrong somewhere.
Actually,
the goods ought to have arrived, but
why did you call Philips
first without asking me?
Or...
Philips deals with small amounts of goods.
The ones we bought this time
were too much, so I didn't use Philips.
I used someone else.
You should've asked me first.
Seye, firstly,
this is not Philips' first time buying
goods for us and there is no limitation.
I saw that he wasn't capable
of handling this.
Why would you decide he is not capable?
- See Seye, Seye.
- Big brother.
- Seye, you're not listening to me.
- I am.
Let us sort it out now. What's going on?
Stop it! I don't like all this.
Am I incapable?
Why are you acting like I can't handle it?
You should relax.
I'm capable.
I am the one in charge.
No.
Capable? That's not in question.
You are not in charge.
- I'm in charge of this.
- You're not in charge.
You've never been in charge.
- Regarding the goods.
- Seye,
you have never been in charge.
You will give your report to me
and I will give it to our dad.
Big brother. Okay, calm down.
Listen,
I'm on top of this, the goods will arrive.
Put your mind to rest.
- Bro, please handle it.
- I will.
And when you told someone else to deliver
the goods, you should have informed me.
There's a way we used to do these things.
Will I have to get approval from you
before I do anything? When I'm not a kid.
Why is he talking like this?
What's the age difference between us?
Don't let me get annoyed with you,
I studied abroad.
Now that you've refused to eat,
I'm scared.
Because
no matter how tough the situation might be
food is very important to the body.
Pity me.
I am just thinking of it.
I'm thinking if someone
who's in debt should have an appetite.
Take it easy.
Adunni,
my debt is too much.
God will pay it.
It's too much that I can't
even switch on my phone.
The people I took loans
from keep calling tirelessly.
I keep getting scared as it rings.
It's the same thing with messages as well.
I am scared, what am I going to do?
What mouth will I use to eat?
I don't understand.
I don't have anyone except God.
Putting your hope in God is enough for us.
Because I am sure that
God doesn't disappoint
those that depend on Him and do His will.
I want to urge you to let us have faith.
Let's have faith.
I have faith.
Will you eat now? Even if it's
small pap, let me prepare it for you.
Put the food aside for now.
I don't get you.
We got there and they said the building
that was leased to us is not ours.
What's not ours?
You're talking like you don't have sense.
Speak up! What about the receipt
I gave you, that I said Seye gave me?
We took all the receipts there
and they told us it was fake.
Is this man stupid?
They told you it was fake
and you couldn't tell them
you're tendering the original receipt.
Seye sat down there and gave me
the receipt, he also showed me the video.
I saw our structure and I saw
Chinese people putting goods on the land.
I sent you there first so I can go
there myself next week to inspect.
They said it's fake sir,
we showed them everything.
Call Seye for me!
He didn't come to
the office since yesterday.
Seye hasn't come
to the office since yesterday?
Yes sir.
I am doomed.
Seye is always saying you're stupid,
I am just realizing it
today that both of you are stupid.
None of you could inform me
that Seye hasn't been at the office?
Get out!
I am doomed.
I am doomed.
I am doomed.
Seye...
Seye has ruined my life.
He's not picking up.
My Abeni,
just imagine me opening a store for you
and putting so many goods in it.
How will you feel?
It will be good.
There is nothing God cannot do.
With God all things are possible.
In this present situation
God has done it already.
It's within us, you and I. Especially you!
- Me?
- Yes.
I am giving you full support.
- Oh Lord.
- What are you waiting for?
- I am ready.
- God, I am grateful.
This is what happened.
Someone introduced a business to me.
It's tricycles, we will buy those new ones
in bulk and rent a big store to keep them.
Yes, with 15 million we will be okay.
When we buy it,
we will give it to people in installments,
- then they will be paying the money in.
- Okay.
In fact, in one year
the 15 million
we started the business with...
- Yes.
- between you and I,
it will be close to 100 million.
You know
when we have 100 million,
it will be easy to take out 15.
- The business is good.
- Very good.
After the 15 million, I will take out
more millions to get a shop for you.
You know it will be easy, I won't
even know I took money out.
Look here, I am ready right now.
That's what we're driving at,
the readiness is in your hands.
So this is what we will do.
- My hands?
- The 15 million,
the 15 million I need you will lend
me from your sister's money.
I will take it today, right now.
It mustn't exceed today.
Because I have to send the money.
The goods will start
coming in from tomorrow.
We won't let it take long at all.
I am even thinking of something,
I won't let it take up to a year.
As soon as we get the first 15 million,
I will just give it to you.
Whatever is left will be
between my wife and I to share.
So now,
can you transfer 15 million at once?
You can't do it. Anyway,
transfer any amount you can,
then I will follow you
to the bank right now before they close.
Do you understand?
Pelumi's daddy,
that will be quite difficult.
It will be difficult.
Okay, let me call Sewa.
That's wrong.
Why are you behaving like a kid?
Why will you call your younger sister?
Why will you call your sister to tell her
your husband wants
to borrow money from her?
Don't you know that we will be
very rich from this business?
So if we become rich in future,
she will go about and begin to say
that she helped her sister's husband.
She will hurl insults at you too
and you know your sister is very proud.
That's not good.
Look here, it will be difficult.
The money is not mine.
I don't have access to the money. Okay,
what if they ask for
the money before then?
She will not need it now.
She won't need it
until I use and return it.
I know what I am saying, my dear.
I understand, it can't work.
I can't do it.
- What?
- I said I can't do it.
Come on.
Pelumi's mummy.
You are turning down my request?
You even dragged it at the end.
In Yoruba land if one does that,
they are serious about whatever it is.
You?
You to me?
Despite the love I have for you.
Oh God.
I didn't know this was what would end me.
Why did it take so long before I knew?
That I have been living, sleeping,
and dining with my enemy. I'm hurt.
-So,
-Listen,
I don't even have anyone at all?
are you ready to eat?
I'm hurt.
Let me know when you're ready.
I'm hurt.
Pelumi's mummy.
It didn't work out. It failed, no remedy.
Honestly,
I don't know what to say anymore.
Because,
you're too smart to be deceived by Seye.
What were you looking at?
Ayo, I am truly smart. I am smart.
But I didn't know you could be smart
in a place and a fool in another.
Seye is my biological brother.
We're talking about trust.
I trusted my brother! He's my brother!
I thought Seye will bring
progress to our business,
I didn't know he will drag us backwards.
At this juncture,
you can't care that he's your brother,
we will get him arrested.
Arrest Seye?
I haven't seen Seye.
It is if you are able to see the moon
that you can tell if it's full or not.
I've not seen my brother
and I've been calling him,
he's not even picking my calls.
I haven't seen him.
I haven't seen Seye.
I have called him severally
and he didn't pick my call.
I don't know what to tell my Popman.
Seye! I trusted you.
It is finished.
Seye.
I didn't know.
I was just thinking we should
be patient for some more time.
What kind of patience?
I said what kind of patience?
God.
I didn't expect to
meet myself here at all.
What will I do now?
What kind of life condition
have I found myself in?
Your children turned
me into an empty barrel.
I don't even have anything anymore.
I didn't ask God for this.
I didn't know your children would be
the ones to ruin my life like this.
They ran me to the ground.
I have now become empty.
What will I say?
Will I start going around to beg
for money so I can pay my debt?
My mind is not at rest anymore.
Hypertension has set in,
very soon depression will set in.
Why?
When it's not that I didn't work hard.
When it's not that
I didn't establish a business.
I wasn't extravagant
so we can live a better life.
Look at what is going on.
I didn't know these children
would be the ones to wreck me.
I didn't know they would do this to me.
Honestly.
What is it?
I don't have a choice.
I don't have any other choice
than to sell the house at Agric.
I just have to sell it.
Your children got me into this mess.
Please don't say negative words to them.
They... If I...
Please.
I've heard you.
I have to sell it,
there is nothing I can do.
- Rotimi.
- Ma.
- Rotimi.
- Yes mum.
The drummer that drums
and looks behind doesn't want
any hand to touch
the other side, because if it does
the drum would tear apart.
Your father's effort was for this business
not to get into someone else's hands.
You made it futile. It was all in vain.
My husband,
has now become
a debtor that is being chased with calls.
They pushed him till
he sold his house at Agric.
I am in trouble.
When did that happen?
Mummy, I didn't know.
You can't know. How will you know?
Since your father
has become a forbidden fellow
that you can't
see anymore, you won't know.
Look at your life now.
You kept saying
you're planning something very big.
Something very big.
This is the very big thing that made
you turn my husband into a debtor.
Now he doesn't have anything anymore.
Look at me very well, Rotimi.
- Ma.
- Look at me closely.
Yes ma.
You and Seye!
- Rotimi.
- Ma.
You and Seye!
-Everything you did to my husband
-Mummy, no please.
- your children will do the same to you.
- Mummy, please.
- Your children will do the same to you.
- Mummy, no.
Mummy.
I didn't know it will get to this,
Seye got me into it.
Mummy, I'm so sorry.
It's Seye.
I thought I was helping out.
I thought everything will get better.
Who is older between you and Seye?
Mummy, it's me.
I thought...
Mummy, I'm sorry, please.
Please. Mummy please.
Please, I'm sorry.
Please. Mummy, please.
Seye!
John! Open the gate.
Who is that?
So you're in town?
Seye, you're in town?
I called you severally.
So many times.
You didn't pick my calls.
I sent text messages,
Seye, you didn't reply.
You didn't come
to the office, I sent emails.
- Seye, you didn't reply.
- Big brother, please for God's sake,
what do I want to do at the office?
Tell me what's interesting in the office
that will make me be in attendance.
- An office that is already dry.
- Seye, the office is dry?
Yes, I'm an active person.
You're telling me that...
Seye are you insane?
- Are you out of your mind?
- Big brother, calm down!
He just asked
a simple question, that's all!
Sewa.
Don't point your fingers at me,
that is rude.
Extremely rude.
- She is a married woman.
- Yes.
- Sewa, you're talking to me like that?
- Yes.
Sewa, please,
can you not just put your mouth?
Just shut your mouth!
- This is a family matter.
- She is my family.
She is Mrs Seye Adejobi.
You're not married that's why you don't
know how to talk to a married woman.
That's it!
Okay. Seye,
can I just have all the money back?
The money you talked me into investing.
The money we took from
Jobi Farms, Jobi Textiles, and Jobi Press,
can I have them back?
Please, why are you
talking in this manner?
I don't understand you.
Am I from China?
Why don't you get on a plane
and go meet them in China?
- Seye, you must think I'm a fool!
- Big brother.
The office you took me to
that we wanted to use for the business
the agent said you paid for two months
and I gave you money for four years.
If you believe the agent,
it means you're not alright.
Why will the agent
tell you I paid for two months?
- Are you insane?
- Do you want to beat me?
- Do I want to beat you?
- Yes, do you want to beat me?
- Leave him.
- Beat me!
- Don't touch me!
- Seye.
- Seye, you're my brother.
- Leave him.
Think of the condition daddy is in.
Consider daddy's condition.
Just give me back his money.
What are you saying now?
Crying stupid tears at your age.
You're saying his condition, is it not
better that he dies than for us to die?
Everyone prays that
their father dies before them,
- Yes.
- so why do you want to kill yourself?
- My father should die?
- Is he only your father?
Bastard! You are a bastard!
- He has killed my husband!
- You're a bastard!
My father should die?
Hey, okay, beat me!
- I don't want to touch you.
- Beat me! Touch me!
- Seye, I will beat you up.
- Help me!
He wants to kill me.
- Your life!
- Seye, listen to me.
I'm coming back!
I'm not gonna beat you.
I will kill you!
I can't see.
Come. Come and fight. Useless fellow.
- My husband.
- I can't see anymore.
- My eyes. Hospital.
- Come.
- My father should die?
- Come here!
- Sewa, come on!
- Come!
Sewa, this is more important.
- My father should die?
- I can't see anymore.
- I can't see anymore. Hospital.
- Come. Let's go.
You are a bastard!
- Hospital.
- Close the gate!
- Close the gate!
- Sorry.
- I can't see anymore.
- Please.
Ayo,
you also know that I can't stay back.
How do you want people to look at me?
When people know that I am the one
that got my father into the mess,
how do you want them to perceive me?
Don't try to pacify me.
You see, Ayo,
if daddy doesn't curse me I should know
that I am battling with curses right now.
See, my father is old.
We squandered our father's
retirement gratuity. It's unheard of.
Look,
I already told you. Please for God's sake,
come and pick me up
by five a.m. tomorrow morning.
I am taking an early flight, please.
Better still, if you can come
and sleep in my house this night
then we can leave early tomorrow morning.
Okay.
If that's how you can do it, I will
be waiting for you in the morning.
Thank you.
Seye,
you ruined my life. You implicated me.
Why did I trust
my younger brother this much?
Daddy, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Wole,
I'd be lying if I claim everything
you said is not confusing to me.
It confused me too, Bode.
I haven't gotten over it at all.
- While I was away?
- Honestly.
That was what happened.
After I sold my house in Agric and paid
the debt after they began to chase me
I became relaxed a little bit.
- Oluwole.
- Yes.
You have a fault.
- You really do!
- How?
When it got to that stage
you should have sent for me.
You would have called me, it's not like
there's no means of communication.
Bode, how will I say it?
How will I say my children duped me?
I went through hell.
When there is life there's hope only works
when there is something to fall back on.
When something is finished,
it's indeed finished.
I am finished.
May God not let us be finished.
Amen.
- It won't be finished for us.
- Amen.
-Wole,
-Yes?
it is not finished for you.
Do you understand?
It is not finished for you.
It is time to reap what you sowed.
Yes.
- You got it.
- Exactly.
- It's peace of mind.
- Exactly.
- That's how it's supposed to be.
- Exactly.
It's called a pot.
A pot one drinks
from should not be broken.
- We need to respect it. You're right.
- Exactly.
We should discuss something important.
The business I discussed with you,
what is going on with it?
Can I go ahead with
the comprehensive feasibility study?
You see, it seems
I am not thinking
of any business now. Yeah.
I am not thinking about it.
I don't want to rush.
There's no need to rush.
No, it's not about rushing or not.
I have done my findings.
I just want to seek your consent.
After I have sought
your consent then I can go ahead.
You see, Bankole is also interested.
Yes, I have discussed
it with him and he is ready.
Listen,
Bode, I am not ready.
You might have to go ahead with Bankole.
Where will I get the money?
I bank on you.
I believed that when
you were ready that we'll... you know?
Although, Bankole
is there but is you that I know.
You're the one I know.
I don't want to delay you.
I wouldn't want to be
the one to disturb your plans at all.
You and Bankole can go ahead.
If it's about money,
I can give you some money to support
and you will return my money back to me.
Okay.
- Bode the prince.
- Oluwole the chief.
- Oluwole the chief.
- We all benefit from it.
Yes.
That's how it is.
Don't you know you have
an investment somewhere?
Bode I didn't see it as an investment.
I saw it as you people doing something
and I supported you with ten million.
You have returned my money.
You see if one makes
future investment, they will be secured.
It's not just an interest
you have in it, you're also a shareholder.
- In that business?
- Yes.
It is there.
What you have there
is quite enough for you.
Bode,
I have offended you.
- How?
- I have offended you.
The other day you brought
the business proposal to me
and I said I wasn't interested.
I was trying to be careful.
Yes, I was trying to
be careful with partnerships.
That's why I thought
that since my children are there,
let me bring them closer
so we can do it together.
I didn't know anyone can be a betrayer.
Anyone can betray you.
Anyone can be a betrayer.
Married couples betray each other,
children betray their father
and friends also betray themselves.
Anyone can betray you.
- You know my father is an herbalist.
- Yes.
Friendship is at times
more valued than kinship.
That's the panegyric
of the occult as regards friendship.
But at the same time, Yoruba is so broad.
It also says
we should be careful.
There are no friends anymore,
just companions.
Nothing stops one from being careful.
It's not a crime to be careful.
One has to be very careful.
There is no crime in it.
Or we should say there's
nothing bad in doing a joint venture.
Yes. Two heads are better than one.
Despite the experience I've had?
There is nothing in it. It's not a crime.
The only thing is
whenever you want to venture
into a joint partnership
make sure there is proper documentation.
Do you understand me?
Proper documentation.
Regardless, you know,
the relationship that exists.
That was the mistake I made.
I thought since they were my children,
so we could work together.
I've heard you.
You have never heard that
a child used his mother for ritual?
I've heard it before.
You have never heard that
a husband used his wife for ritual?
I've heard about it very well.
You have never seen a wife who kidnapped
her husband because of money?
Things have gone very bad.
If someone decides they won't do anything
they won't have anything eventually.
If you don't do anything
you won't have anything.
Forgive me.
Look,
I don't see you as...
You...
Your investment is there,
nothing happened to it.
- I am a shareholder in that business?
- You are a shareholder.
Thank you, my friend. Thank you very much.
Let me send you something first.
We can't kill ourselves.
Thank you.
- Seye.
- What happened?
- There is a problem.
- What is it?
It's my elder sister.
- You know my elder sister, right?
- Yes.
I was told she died.
- I'm in trouble.
- There's a problem.
Calm down.
God will forgive her.
Why do you keep saying you're in trouble?
It won't be a recurrent death.
My husband,
this present situation
is more than a recurrent death.
- I am doomed.
- Sewa.
Okay, calm down.
There is nothing that can't be handled.
Calm down, what happened?
Please for God's sake, my husband.
I didn't do it intentionally.
- I did it because of us.
- Did what?
The money you gave me then,
the one you told me to put in my account.
What happened? What money?
I kept it in my elder sister's account.
Whose account? Which money?
Whose account did you put the money?
Why are you talking like this?
You dare not.
You kept it in your sister's account?
Why didn't you tell me
you wanted to keep it there?
I told you I needed a secure account,
you asked me to put my mind at rest.
Is your elder sister's
account a secure one?
I didn't do it intentionally.
I did it because of us.
You told me that it could be
traced if it was in your account,
that's why you kept it in mine.
But it could be traced to me too,
that's why I thought it was smart
to send it to my elder sister's account.
I didn't know
she was going to die so soon.
It seems like
you're out of your mind! Sewa!
Did you get approval from me before
putting it in your elder sister's account?
Would I have given you approval
to put it in your elder sister's account?
Is your elder sister's account secure?
We have been running
helter-skelter because of that money.
You know that's the only thing we have.
Sewa, you know we don't
have anything elsewhere.
Your elder sister must not die.
She won't dare!
Why did she die? Let's go there!
Lead the way!
Are you alright at all?
Which elder sister died?
Get going!
We won't stop entering
cars because of accidents.
We must make ends meet.
What about the person
who didn't enter a car?
Did they not die?
God should keep protecting us.
Amen.
One will die eventually.
- Yes.
- God.
This woman told me when
she was going out in the morning.
Why did I not stop her
from going out? God, you're so great.
My life.
Sorry sir. Take it easy.
- Accept my condolences.
- Thank you.
- May God be with you.
- Amen.
May it not be recurrent.
Amen.
I'll advise you not to brood, sir.
Don't brood, please.
I am not brooding.
If you brood too much
it might affect your health.
You are needed
to do the things aunty couldn't do.
May you live long.
Amen.
I am not even brooding.
But what I am thinking is that
between you and I,
so I won't see my Abeni anymore?
Who is going to live with me
or be my companion?
Alright.
Don't be offended.
Above all,
I hope you don't mind?
My wife and I want to
discuss something with you.
Can you spare us two minutes?
- Me?
- Yes.
Don't be offended.
We are not annoyed.
Please, don't be annoyed.
Let me attend to them quickly.
This madam seated here
is my wife's biological sister.
Sorry for the loss.
- This is her husband.
- Sorry for the loss.
- Sorry sir.
- May something like this not happen again.
Let me attend to them quickly.
I will be back soon.
Thank you.
Sorry, ma.
Sorry.
- It is well.
- Sorry.
Just like that.
God should have mercy on us.
Thank you, I am grateful.
May you never
experience such by God's grace.
- Amen.
- Sorry for the loss, sir.
- May it not be recurrent.
- Amen.
- May God forgive her sins too.
- Amen.
We are sorry for bringing you outside.
Sewa wants to discuss something with you.
Pelumi's daddy,
accept our condolences.
May it not be recurrent.
Amen.
While my elder sister was alive
I told her to keep some money in her
account for me so I can collect it later.
I didn't know this was going to happen.
That's why I came to ask to ask you
because I know you're her next of kin.
I am here so I can get
the money back into my account.
- Money?
- Yes.
No, she never told me about any money.
She didn't tell me about it.
I am not joking.
- She didn't talk to you about any money?
- At all.
- She should've discussed it with you.
- Yes.
Why won't she talk to you about the money?
She must have talked to you about it.
She told me you're her next of kin.
These are the things about
your sister I used to complain about
and you all would tell me
I was being temperamental.
Look at how secretive she was,
someone I was living with.
She never...
Was she supposed to keep that kind
of thing from me? She didn't tell me.
- I am not joking.
- She's at fault for that. For God's sake,
please sir,
we are begging you in God's name.
Please go to the bank, confirm
the money and withdraw it on our behalf.
- Please for God's sake.
- Forgive my behavior.
Pity me, please.
- Listen, don't...
- The money is a lot, please.
It's not a small amount.
I swear to God, it's 130 million naira.
Can you also see it?
It scared you? It's a lot of money.
- Yes.
- That's why we're anxious.
- Please.
- I beg you.
Look here, you know what?
I'm sorry, I can't promise
that I will do anything about it.
Because what...
I won't lie to you,
my problem is different from yours.
I lost a whole human, my wife.
You're talking to me about money.
I am feeling angry, I am sad.
If you can't wipe my tears,
please, for God's sake, don't add to it.
Please, don't be offended.
- Pelumi's daddy, don't do that.
- Don't leave!
We are talking about money,
why do you want to walk out on us?
We are talking about 130 million naira.
Why are you talking in this manner?
- This is about money.
- Are you alright at all?
Why are you talking to me like this?
Why are you disrespecting me?
Why? Ask your wife, did she tell me
she kept money with my wife?
I didn't tell you I kept money with her,
but I did and I know you're aware.
I am not aware.
Don't be offended by
the way we have been talking to you.
What you'll do for us now is
please, come with us.
Go to the bank, confirm the money in your
wife's account and withdraw it for us.
- That's it!
- It's ours.
If you don't know me, your wife does.
You want to experience madness.
If I get upset I will order
my boys to beat you mercilessly.
- Beat who? I will disrespect you.
- Jesus.
I'll show you that
I am not a responsible person.
I am talking to you about something that
can destroy my life if I don't get it.
You're saying you will summon your boys.
You and your boys will not prosper!
If you were born
a noble birth, hold me. You're foolish.
- Stop it.
- I am not alright.
Seye!
Why did I do this to myself?
Why did I take such a risk?
I kept my belongings
in a house that doesn't have a door.
I am doomed.
I threw away what I had
in the hopes of having something better.
I didn't know my closest associate
will be the cause of my downfall.
No one told me.
I'm in trouble. Where will I start from?
Where? God!
Seye,
- why are you talking in this manner?
- How?
I didn't know
it was going to happen like this.
Why are you blaming me for everything?
Sewa,
I am begging you in God's name,
I'm sorry if I am asked
to blame anyone, who will it be?
Who should I blame?
Should I blame myself?
Was I informed when you wanted to
keep money in your elder sister's account?
Did you get an approval from me?
It seems you're insane. Why are you
talking like a senseless person?
Are you out of your senses?
- Ah.
- No.
Don't let me behave crazily towards you.
No Seye, I won't take that.
I will not take that!
Why are you insulting me?
- Sewa?
- You said I am senseless.
Excuse me, are you in your right senses?
Is your brain working perfectly?
Sewa, you're still talking?
Are you insane?
You are also crazy.
You are out of your senses.
- You're insane.
- I am insane?
You are insane!
I'm talking, you're still talking!
Come on!
You're not supposed to say anything!
That's all I have left in my life.
You kept it with
your elder sister and she died untimely.
It shall not be well with her in heaven.
I'm talking, you're still talking!
Sewa.
Sewa.
Sewa.
Sewa!
Goddamn!
Sewa!
