Ah. Madam, sorry.

I will help you eat it.
Should I go?
- Any other thing, ma?
- No.
Okay. Alright, ma.
We have shawarma too.
Now, let's talk poundo. I mean
Ponzi.
Before you fast forward
thinking Ponzi does not concern you
Remember when
they gave you Ludo, slippers,
onions, and the star of the show,
Bags of rice.
You did everything
you are supposed to do,
because you thought
it was going to get better.
Then they entered. Nothing to show for it.
Well, they had something to show for it.
As for you Ponzi!
Ore, rmember when that boy or girl,
told you to "invest" your heart in them?
That you were their one and only?
But then
Tsk.
I can't tell you lies.
You need to see!
- Are you serious?
- If you could have seen this guy!
- He is like a model! He is perfect!
- Wow!
Bro, you know what? I have to go to work.
- I will tell you the rest later.
- Alright, no worries.
- Alright.
- Well done.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hey, how's it going?
- I'm good.
- Yeah.
- Tsk.
Were you able to pay Amina's school fees?
Tsk. Honestly man,
that's what's been on my mind.
- Do you understand?
- Don't worry too much about income.
You do a job as a plumber
or an electrician,
or a shoemaker. Come on, man.
Tsk. Honestly,
till I'm able to find the funds...
Ikenna!
Huh?
Wait, please. Wait.
Oh!

- No, look at me!
Look at me!
- Wait! Please wait!
- No!
Why did you put on these boxers back on?
- Crazy person!
- Me? Crazy?
The only thing you know how to do is take!
- Ha!
- You take from here, take from there!
You do not know how to support your man!
It is your generation that is crazy!
Only you, Ikenna, Chubi
Is it any of your business?
Mad woman!
Look at what you are doing to me!
- My baby, I'm sorry.
- Huh?
My darling, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to...
This is bad!
- You are still calling me darling?
- Ikenna?
- Hmm?
- Darling?
I thought you said
I was your only darling?
You're my dorl darling, dorl
I said
I said 'dorling'. You are my 'darling'.
- Will you shut up?
- You are a mad man!
- Stupid!
- Wait!
- Come back!
- Stay here!
Huh?
Eh?
- Ikenna!
- Ha!
What type of brother is this?
Is he a brother
or just a misfortune? I don't
Babe? What am I supposed to do?
Ha!
Hey! Hey! Hey! That's enough! That's okay!
Jesus!
- Wait! Kill me! Kill me!
- No! No! No!
- Kill me.
- We will kill you today!
Uchenna! Uchenna!
Take it easy.
Aha!
- Calm down. Calm down.
- Don't tell me to calm down.
Again?
That woman doesn't want
to be with that politician's son.
- Is it Wasiu who told you?
- How else would I have known?
Honestly, this is silly.
Hey!
- Hey! Hey!
- Shh!
Shh!
What are you doing squatting over here?
Charles is coming! Charles is coming!
If he asks where I am, please just
tell him you haven't seen me. Please!
Quickly! Go and hide.
What are you saying?
Tafa, you understand?
Regarding the issue of Amina, I swear,
- Amina will be allowed to go to school.
- Amina will be fine.

Your phone is ringing!
Take this and close your laptop.

Guy, you know what to do?
Speak with a girl's voice.

Here's what
you're going to use. Look at it well.
Alright, talk now.

See, Maba
If I decide to face Chubi
If I decide to face Chubi He will die.
How can you be owing me money

Answer me! I am talking to you! Answer me!
Are you a prostitute?
Do you even pay rent
in this house? What do you do?
And you.
Forever panicking.
Ooh! Ah!
Why do you tolerate this?
"But babe, he is my little brother"
"It's only the two of us."
Is that why you are allowing him
to give your pregnant wife stress?
Uchenna, you want us to lose this one too?
- No.

Zee! Zee! Zee! Hey.
God. God!
- Ike! What is going on?

Cute.
Magas, come with me.
When I find a wife, I will give birth
to my own Messi. Don't worry.
Messi. Mbappe.

You are deceiving yourself.
Hey what's good, my brother?

There's a fake musician
here disturbing the peace.
When nobody talk about you
Then you are nobody
- Walahi. Talahi. Salahi
- Can you hear him?
- My brother, how are you?
- Talahi
- Boss, give me my slip!
- Please, go and sit down.
You are not listening
to the album I'm singing for you?
- What type of nonsense album?
- This album currently, as it is,
I want to feature OBO.
Huh?
- Are you hearing this?
- From the beginning, you'll hear shepe.
- Boss, give me my slip, please.
- Oh please!
- You don't know what you want to do.

See that 200 naira, add it and join it
with this one. What is it doing for you?
Five point two million?
- Okay, play it.

Nothing is happening.
It's people like you who inspire me.
And that is why I perspire.
You don't ever get tired?
- Motivational speaker.
- Never!
- Just play this game for me.
- Forget about it!
Instead of wallowing in uselessness,
hopelessness and all the nonsenseness,
you do what? You place a bet.
- You talk too much, boss. Just bring it.
- Thank you.
If you don't bet
and another person will win. It is so.
Ikenna!
You are all right. Ikenna!
Ikenna!
Obayan Street!
Let's call this part,
The Making of the Maga.
Because magas are not built in a day.
Give me one minute, I'll be right down.
Their Father.
Because sometimes,
the odds of winning a bet
are higher than the odds of winning
in your own country.
Hey.
Their Father!
Tafa, this your suya is to die for.
Babe, what's You haven't finished?
And sometimes, you are a dreamer.
With only money standing
between you and your dreams.
Or maybe you and your spouse
have left your teaching job,
to start a private lesson business.
Because as
passionate as you are about teaching,
you need to think about
your growing family.
Man.
I should be successful by now.
Hmm? Settled down.
Things are moving slowly,
but how's that my fault?
- Guy, guy...
- No, how is it...
Please, I want to sleep.
Either way,
systemic desperation
sprinkled with unrealistic expectations
will lure you into
Well,
you'll soon see.
I just want to say that I am sorry.
No. Please forgive No. Look
- Hey.
- Ikenna? What are you doing?
I thought I'd clean the house.
Let me dust everywhere
and let it be neat and tidy.
I saw that.
I'm going to my mum's place.
Oh okay.
Uh see, actually
Actually, I said I want to apologize
for everything, you understand?
It's not like as if I
Not the first time.
- Okay.
- But thank you.
You know how hard it's been for us.
I know. I know,
and see, I am sorry. See ehn,
now, now, I will be like
your servant in this house.
I promise. By the time I'm done,
you both will be begging me,
when I want to return to Port Harcourt,
"Ikenna, please don't go!"
Is it so?
So so wonder Jesus dey do oh
My mom is a retired nurse.
And I haven't spent time
with her in a while, so
It will be better this way I think.
Okay. No problem.
I'll miss you though.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
No, it's fine.
Blame it on your nephew.
Ha! Mbappe! Mbappe Junior.
Baby Messi!
- Bye.
- Alright bye.
- Tafa!
- He is downstairs.
Go gently,
so that the baby
will not be rocked harshly up and down.
Hey! Hey!
- Boy! What is funny?
- Calm down, why are you so worried?
- Ike, that's my life that is...
- You need to relax, my brother. Calm down.
Get out, idiot!
Your stress is too much.
- Look! They've had an accident!
- What type of joke is that?
Chief, Chief!
Chief, Chief!
Since the chief is here, let me collect
like 2000 naira and bet on Barca today.
Chief! Chief!
- It's been a while he gave us something.
- Chief! Chief!
- Park over here.
- That isn't Chief, is it?
- This isn't Chief!
- Chief!
Do you see this?
Chief! Chief-o!
It's not Chief!
- That's not what he looks like.
- No, no, it's fine. I'm home.
Motherland, baby!
Now you see me. Are you shocked?
Okay, so I didn't make up all that story.
You know what they say
about experience? The best teacher.
So you can call me "experience".
Nah shit, I'm just trying
to say hello, man. I'm glad I'm home.
Sorry, um, my name is Rob.
Yeah? But um,
I go by my African name,
you can call me Kofi.
- Come on, bro...
- You have already done that, "bro".
- What's going on?
- How many times?
Won't you do
what you were sent here to do?
How can someone
spend all their life in America,
and this is the accent
they come back with?
You got a sharp ear.
No, I wasn't actually born in America.
- Really?
- I was actually born in Ghana.
Yeah, but I spent
most of my life in the States.
But my thing is,
I refuse to sound like my oppressor.
- Yeah.
- You feel me?
Yeah, y'all heard
about slavery and shit, right?
Yes, I may have lived there and everything
but I had to make sure
that I sounded like my people.
You know if I am going to sound
like anyone,
it's going to have to be my people.
- Wakanda!
- Yeah, man. That's it.
Y'all, y'all saw that film?
Shit. Shit. Shit, okay!
Now that I am back in the motherland,
- I want to make sure...
- Wait, I want to ask something.
Chief!
Daddy!
- Abeke.
- Hmm. We are outside.
He is still doing that
"motherland" nonsense.
Something special has arrived.
Someone who hasn't
even taken an injection for malaria.
He shouldn't find
his other half in the "motherland."
We better tell him.
Yes, Daddy.
Now that I am
in the motherland, I wanna like...
- Wait, wait! Wait first!
- I wanna sound like the...
These things
you are saying? Who asked you?
Forget about him. He has seen someone
he can come and talk nonsense to.
See, let me tell you something.
This place you have come to,
isn't the motherland,
it is the fatherland! You hear me? Father.
- Father. Your father.
- Your papa.
- Why are you cursing his father?
- Are you listening?
Or did your father
send you here to give us anything?
- That's true.
- What's that?
- Don't get upset. What did you bring?
- What? What are you do...
Your mother! If you come here,
- I will slap you.
- What are you doing?
- What? Can you shoot all of us?
- Geez!
What's good, guys?
My name is Rob, I'm new in town.
- Yeah.
- How you doing?
- What's your name?

- Are you feeling the guy?
I love that.
You ain't got no Nigerian name,

- Robert!
- Boss! They are calling you.
- Shout out to the guys.
- Stop!
- Come, let me see your watch.
I don't know what he is looking at.

in a bit. Yeah. Okay, okay.
I'll see y'all.
What do you want to do? Come closer.
Cross this line and I'll kill your father.
- Yea, man.
- If I hit you on your head
Leave the guy, he's alright.
He is holding a gun.
I didn't say
I was never getting married.
I only said, I wasn't ready.
Now, they've taken it
as "Operation Marry-Off-Abeke".
Hello.
Boring guys, all of them!
Always talking
about taking care of me. Do I look sick?
Uh, no. No, you do not.
- You're perfectly fine.
- Ugh!
And this particular one,
what's that his name again?
Sam! Leave me alone!
Anyways, we're here now.
I love how upset you are over it.
Geez.
Come on, are you guys kidding me?
This is nothing.
Wait till you see the mansion in Ikoyi.
I How many houses do we have?
I thought that this was the mansion.
No, this is Ota. Our hometown.
The real motherland.
Gotcha. Gotcha.
Okay, that's like one, two, three
How many cars do you ha?
Do people live like this here?
- Really?
- Is this normal?
Where did you expect us to live?
- On trees? Jumping around with monkeys?
- Aye, aye!
I'm sorry. That's
That's my bad.
I deserve that. Okay, I'm sorry.
Geez. Is there like a pool around here?
Yep. Right around the corner.
And a gym and a sauna
and whatever it is you want.
Bro, welcome, welcome.
Aye, you don't need to do that.
- It's alright.
- Welcome.
- Thank you, brother.
- Welcome.
Thank you.
Why is he cleaning my shoes?
But yo, listen. I
I got to thank you.
For what?
For welcoming me
into your home like this. This is, uh
This is super cool.
I know it can't be easy.
It's probably a little awkward.
Up until last week, you didn't even know
you had a half brother. But
Honestly, I um
I appreciate this. This is really cool.
It's what family does.
- It's super cool.
- Right?
Tsk. I actually wouldn't know.
Geez, look at that painting.
Yup.
Chief Olaoba.
Career politician. My father,
casually told mother that
I wasn't his only child. Just last week.
Surprised?
I wasn't.
It's what you get from a loving father,
who also happens
to be a philandering husband.
Poor mom.
She was totally blindsided.
Blamed herself for not giving him a son.
Robert was born only
a few months before I was born.
See, if they will cheat
they are going to cheat, my dear.
Hey, what's good?
- That's her?
- Yes.
Jesus Christ.
You don't surprise an old woman like that.
Like
You said old?
Is she? Did you just say old?
Geez Mom, look at you!
Oh, what is she like 31, 32?
Oh man. This is,
Mom, this is something else.
Yo, can I? Is it okay?
- Yes.
- You sure?
Hi.
This,
Actually,
I said I wasn't going to do this.
This is ah, it's a little much for me.
Mom Is it okay if I call you mom?
I have been looking forward
to meeting you for quite a while.
Alright, I have been practicing this,
but I just wanted to make sure I
I let you know how I felt about you.
To be honest,
I spent most of my life in foster care.
And it was fine. That's not
my problem.
The whole time,
all I wanted
was a strong powerful woman
to be able to look up to and say that's
that's my mother.
So when they told me
you would allow me to live with you.
I just I just hope,
I just hope that you can see me as
as the son that you never had.
Cause I love you, Mom.
I love you.
Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Is that my son?
- Daddy!
- My own Robert?
How you do that? How you do that thing?
Do you just?
Huh?
Get up, son.
Oh my.
- You are welcome home.
- Thank you, Daddy.
Aw man, this place is something else.
Come to me.
Yeah? Aw, thank you.
Thank you guys. Thank you so much.
If I hit this one now, ehn!
Still sleeping.
Like father, like son.
Just so he is comfortable.
- Too much?
- No! Mom, is it not you?!
- It's you now.
- Come put it in my hand.
And be careful, don't wake him up.
Don't wake him up.
Bitch, what the fuck do you think?
Uh
Hey sis.
It's only you, sorry.
Sorry, I I forgot where I was.
- Hmm!
- Forgot where I was. What's going on, Sis?
- Cause I was just about to...
- No, no, it's fine.
What are you doing here?
How long have I been out?
Not that much. Only about 17 hours?
Shit, I must have knocked out.
Nice Rolex.
Oh, yeah. It's a
It's nothing.
What was it you did in the USA again?
Uh
Business.
Investments.
The usual contracts and shit. A little
bit of this, a little bit of that.
And "The motherland"
is worth leaving all that for?
Ever heard of Black Lives Matter?
You can't put a price on freedom.

You ever heard of fun? Geez.

It is seriously angering me!
Sorry. That doesn't mean

Beast!
The question of the day
is, "Where is my money?"

Can't they see what's happening?
Leave it alone.

Ikenna doesn't get intimidated.
I feel like the word is
inspired.
That's one way to put it. What do I know.
Just do my thing.

Using my money to swag! Tying a bandanna!
Go around

- Keep him here!
- Bro, please.
- Bro, please.

Stop it, stop it. Take that.
Why are you acting like you are Jesus?

You owe me and you are spraying your hair.
It's cool, its cool. I got this.
Alright? You are talking to me now.

That's with interest.
- Thank you.
- Guys,
this is the motherland.
Alright, we We take care of each other.
- Okay?
- Yes, sir.
Tafa.
I'm sorry about the inconvenience.
That's something for your trouble.
Look, you know what,

Sometimes, all it really takes,
is one person.
One person shouting
"motherland" up and down!
Gbosa!
This is Gbosa!
Gbosa!
This is Gbosa!
Do you know me?
I'm free, I'm free!
This is Gbosa!
Do you know me?
I have blown up
Let me murder
Send the dollar, that is all I say
Undercover, them dey call me
Yes, the big one
Look Ireti, thanks for waiting
Better move my way
Stop the hating, no debating
Have the truth, I say
On your marks, get set and go
Mind your line like a rectangle
I'll be fine if they let man go
God's been good, had to let man know
Ain't no need to finesse, I'm yours
They don't see
What the left hand knows
I don't need what the next man shows
I say, "Gbosa!"
Let me murder
Send the dollar, that is all I say
Undercover, them dey call me
Yes, the big one
I'm just saying
Betting isn't something you settle into.
You know?
How do you build a future on luck?
It's kinda of like two-timing
in a relationship. Hmm?
Oh, I don't think
it has anything to do with that.
What's the endgame?
Just stay somewhere and invest.
- Ah, you have started again.
- It's simple economics!
Aye baby, but investments crash.
Ehn, investments crash. Divorces happen.
Look at my folks,
did they not get divorced? They divorced.
All I'm seeing it as is
that in this life, everything we do
is all part of a risk.
It's all calculated gambling.
It's all a bet.
But,
some investments are
worth betting your life on.
Are you people
the only ones in this house?
Wait, what you just said now
are we still talking about
investments? because
- Okay. Thank you for walking me home.
- Okay.
- Goodnight
- Goodnight.
This is insane!
Oh
What?
What?
- Bye.
- Goodnight.
One person who seemingly
shatters barriers of class
within the motherland.
One person to inspire a notorious player.
You guys having a good night?
- Yo, so, y'all know me, right?
- Yes.
- Americana!
- No, no, no. Stop that.
I told y'all don't call me that, alright?
Call me "Motherland", if anything.
I got to tell you the truth, okay?
All of you It's alright, I got this.
To be honest,
I am sick and tired of systems
that only oppress the poor
and empower the rich.
See what I'm saying?
No, no, cool it. I see this shit everyday.
Back home in the States,
it's the same thing.
Different shit,
same day.
It's called systematic classicism.
Boss, what is systemat
the English you're speaking is too high.
Not all of us are educated.
Even Wole Soyinka would need a dictionary
to understand what you are saying.
It's cool. It's cool.
I'm going to break it down for you.
Every single person in this close,
is about to be stinking rich!
Yeah.
So listen, tell them
I got people in the States
- Okay.
- who got everything sorted out. Alright.
Website is ready. Platform is ready.
Got investors and everything.
If anyone is going to make money
it's going to be my people making money.
You feel me?
Americana!
- Its gonna be my people.
- Americana!
That's what I am saying.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Americana.
"I wanna, I gonna" does not work here.
"Something, this thing,"
is not what we want to listen to.
Show us the way!
Welcome, Charles. Someone get him
some snacks and everything.
Thank you for joining us.
- Someone bring suya for Baba.
- Thank you for joining us, Charles.
So, I have been
with you guys for two months, right?
You wanna take that baby out of the hood?
You've been trying
to make music for how long?
Ah! For 30 years!
In fact, there's
an album I'm planning for.
Let me just give you free styling.
Hey, behave yourself!
Charles. Shit, I know you got money.
But let me ask you something.
How would you like
to make more money in 30 days
than you make in one year?
There is zero chance
my dad is going to let her marry
some nigga who is
still living with his brother
hustling off bets and shit,
waiting for government
contracts to come through.
Hey, hey hey, guys! C'mon, c'mon.
There is nothing wrong with being broke.
But today we change all of that.
Reachvest.
That's the idea.
See ehn,
even if all he said was "rich,"
it would have still worked!
We know ourselves!
Last time, all it took
was green white green logo.
And Tales by Moonlight.
Which told us of Russian millionaires,
with lofty dreams
of setting up the company,
because they were on a mission
to eradicate global poverty.
Stories that touch.
We know ourselves!
Boss, tell us about this Reachvest,
let's understand how it works.
You've whetted
my appetite but tell us more.
With Reachvest,
we invest in the US Gold Treasury.
Huh?
- Gold?
- Let him talk first.
- Let me ask you something.
- Gold?!
- Hit my chest!
- How much do you think that's worth?
It is worth 493.4
billion dollars.
Will you all shut up?
The people who don't
even understand English are also shouting.
I am surprised at you all.
See, if its true,
I will give everyone here money to invest.
This is the problem. You don't fully
understand and you're already cheering.
I am collecting interest.
- No problem.
- My interest is set at 100%.
It is gold
that we'll be making here.
Americana!
Americana! Americana! Americana!
Americana!
- Americana!
- Give him space.
Ahn-ahn!
You haven't set up...
Look at these people.
Since morning, you haven't
set up simple table! What kinda of...
What's wrong with you all? Ah!
Come, DJ. DJ Mad,
why are you not playing any song?
You haven't given me any song.
Oh, so because I haven't given you
the song, you can't play any other song?
Or is something wrong with your brain?
Upon all the millions we're paying you,
you couldn't even cut your hair.
This is Reachvest!
Boss, play something, please!
Increase the volume!
Turn my mic up.
You already know what time it is.
Reachvest time!
Trust me, this one is real money.
No lies, no deception!

"Make hey while the sun shines"
So that we won't be taken unawares

But when people were trying
to register before, you were complaining.
Please
before you borrow from Charles,
let me do my own research.
- Hmm?
- Hmm?
Baby, that's bad vibes.
This man has proven himself.
What else does he have to do?
Next, next!
Okay. I am sorry.
C'mon, give him form.
At least let me
bring the money for the next investment.
- No need.
- Please, don't go to Charles.
That guy is bad news.
Okay. I agree.

What you alone owe me
is more than what these two owe me!
You spent two hours
designing your hair every three days. See

No, please tell me, have you ever
had to work a day in your life?
You want me to talk, right? Okay.
I collected that money from Charles
because I wanted
to prove to you and your father,
that I can take care of you.
Are you happy?
Take care of me?
What is with all of you
and taking care of me? I'm not sick.
Babe.
It's me.
- Me.
- Mmh.
C'mon, get out!
What happened to you?
No, who are you, please?
Or is it your brother? Ha!
Robert. Is it your brother that,
that had the courage to tell us
that our money has disappeared.
Hey! Our money has disappeared.
And he carried my money,
to buy car for Oluchi.
Then Oluchi too is driving the car around.
Spending up and down,
like she won the lottery.
That's who I should be shaking over?
Or no, is it your father?
Is it your father?
Your father who is also going around,
spreading money
as if he is the biggest man in town.
Spending money, so the people can forget
all the millions and billions
he stole when he was in office.
Please, get out.
- Babe.
- Hmm.
- That's them, not me.
- Mmh.
And who are you?
You think
you are different from them?
You think you're different
from them? See, you,
your brother, your father,
all of you are thieves.
You hear me? You are all cut
from the same cloth. You are all thieves.
Abomination!
I don't know how I was so stupid.
Do you think I came
to Lagos to faff around?
Hey, you guys
are scamming me in Lagos! I, Ikenna.
I don't know why I was stupid.
I don't know why I became stupid suddenly.
All of you are cut from the same cloth.
No difference. Thieves. Thieves!
Just
It's not a problem.
It's not a problem.
We will know who is the man.
Baby, don't go.
You think I will beg you?
"Please wait, baby! Baby!"
Just help me tell your brother, ehn.
Just help me deliver my message.
That if he knows his name is Robert,
he should come out
to the streets without any security.
If I will not slaughter him there!
Do you hear me?
Rubbish and nonsense.
Me, Ikenna?
You take me for a fool.
It's none of my business.
Listen, and listen attentively.
- One week! What did I say?
- Yes, one week.
- What did I say?
- One week, Boss Charles!
- One what?
- One week!
What did I say?
- One week. Do you hear me?

One week. I don't care how you do it.
If I don't see my money in one week
and I have to come back here?
I will turn you into a tuber of yam.
You see your babe?
I will use her to do press ups. I swear.
If I don't do it that way,
let me fail in life.
That your babe,
the one that you're spoiling
- Yes.
- If I come back in a week
and I don't get my money,
I will use her to do press ups.
- Do you understand?
- Yes, sir!
As for you, hands up, close your eyes.
If I touch you, you'll change color.
I'll stay like this for two days.

But take this message to him.
Please tell him that
we need to finalise. Before he dies.
You understand?
Just tell him we need to finalize.
After you tell him,
he will understand what I mean.
Relax. Forget about these people.
I actually want to tell you something.

I am proud of you. You know why?
Because now you know
how to pitch your own tent.

Keep it up. You want to know why?
All those boys who look down on you

He is sleeping now.
We could take on more private lessons.
Zee, it is in four days. Four days!
Ye!
- You, ehn?! Back here?
- Wait, wait!
See, I don't I don't
I don't do it anymore.
I'm not part of them!
Wait! I want to confess.
- Are you mad?
- Wait, wait!
I was not a part of it! I swear!
- Ike, wait!
- Please. I want to confess.
Please I want to confess.
I overheard when Robert told Oluchi
He told Oluchi something.
No?
Alright. It's a'it. It's a'it.
Close your eyes.
- Close your eyes.
- Okay, okay.
Open it.
- Is that?
- Gold.
- Gold?
- Yeah, baby.
That, my baby,

- Sixty thousand dollars!
- Shh. Cool down.

- Yup. That's 27 million naira.
- Twenty-seven million naira.
- There's lots more where that came from...
- Heyo!
- Yup. So don't Aye, aye!
- What is it?
Twenty-seven million naira?
Twenty-seven million baby.
- Ah!
- Yes, for sure!
This guy is a bastard.
When I was thinking ours
was worse than his.
You own isn't that bad!
It's not that bad! What about me?
Everyone hates me around here.
Whenever I come, I get beaten.
Please give me water. Ah!
No, no.
Please give me water! Ah!
If they had told me that I, Chubi,
could be part of a bad gang,
I could have sworn for the person.
I who like a simple life.
I face only my music. I'm even working
on a song now.
I don't want anyone to hear it yet
but let me give you a snippet.
This life
Is not my own
The poor gets poorer
The rich gets richer
Where are we going from here
The poor get poorer
The rich gets richer
We've been scammed
We've been so...
- Are you mad?
- Are you crazy?
- It looks like you've gone mad.
- Tell me you're mad!
I should finally just kill you, right?
- You want me to kill you right?
- I haven't sung my part yet.
- No, no, no!
- Ike, that's enough.
Ike! Stop, it's okay. Let go of him!
If you kill me now
There's something I want to tell you
that will make things easier for you
- Ike, leave him.
- Talk now!
If I die, I won't be able to say it.
Ike, leave him so he can talk.
I swear.
If someone told me, I, Chubi would be in a
bad gang, I would never have believed it.
Charles is who I am following,
he is an ex-convict.
He was close to being sentenced to death.
Let me tell you. All our money.
Reachvest, or what's it called?
Everything has disappeared.
Ah!
All the money we gathered
into a large bag, it's all gone.
Robert took everything
and he's turned it to gold.
He wants to carry that gold
and leave the country.
- Ah!
- Wait. Wait.
Ah!
Wait. Okay.
The
Reachvest.
We invest in the US Gold Treasury.
- Ah.
- Yes!
It's what he was trying to tell us
that day he was using advanced English!
"You know how you have to invest
in gold. Now you have 43 billion"
I fell for that mad man!
He used his high English to confuse me.
Ah! Ah!
Please, I have received beating all day
from the residents of this area.
- Please just give me juice.
- Huh?
I am talking about the money we lost.
- Ah! Robert! Robert!
- Ah.
Ah! "I'm gonna, gonna."
Seems like you've gone mad, right?
Seems like you've gone crazy, right?
Do you think we are playing here?
- No, I...
- Shut up!
You think we are playing here?
In four days, Charles
will come and literally kill all of us,
and you are telling me rubbish.
That's what I was trying
to say. I just want See, I just
Shut up!
I just! I just I just what?!
Look at this guy.
See, I It wouldn't work.
Okay.
Ah! It won't work.
See! I have one idea.
What is it?
See.
I have an idea
but I don't know if it'll work.
I've been thinking and planning, but I'm
not so sure about it. Let me just say it.
If it works,
that's good. If it doesn't work
What if we do
- we do money heist.
- Tsk, tsk.
Bro, what can we sell please.
Uchenna.
Ahn-ahn. Ah!
See, Ikenna! I know what I am saying.
I have been living
with this guy for several weeks.
I know the in and outs.
Believe me.
This thing could work. Let's try it.
Ahn-ahn! Okay, look.
You will be Tokyo.
You will be London. You, you will be
Tsk, you will be Kaduna!
Tafa doesn't really know anything,
but he will still follow us.
He will drive the car or something.
I have a plan in my head.
I know the blueprints
of the house, where this guy is living.
I have lived with him
for weeks, how won't I know
Okay, Ikenna. If you want
to steal from Uchenna and Zara,
isn't there a way
you know you will steal it.
You will know, because
you have lived with them. Trust me.
I know the plan. We go in and we go out.
Huh?
Everyone should talk because
if Charles come we are in trouble.
And you, just had a little baby.
You want his boys to scatter this house?
This is the right time.
This is the right time to act.
The right time is the future
and the future is the leader
of tomorrow. You understand me?
Let's go, one night.
Look, that's enough.
I hear you. We'll do it. Let us go.
- What do you mean by, "We'll do it"?
- Calm down.
- He's agreed. Looks like you don't want...
- Are you mad?!
- I said we will do it.
- Okay, lets join our hands.
- Join hands for what?
- That's how they do it in Money Heist.
It's like your madness is affecting you.
I said lets go with the plan
and you are saying we should join hands.
Okay. It seems like you know the plan.
Go and carry the gold yourself.
Hey, hey. Okay come.
Now, you are talking. Okay, join hands.
- This is rubbish.
- Ike, put your hand in.
Good. Alright, join, join.
- Add your hand, come on.
- Ike, put your hand in!
Yes!
- Okay, wonder woman!
- Aye! Leave my wife.
Really? Okay. No worries.
So what should we call ourselves?
Chief was still doing
"He is my son"
The fact that the chief
had stolen so much money in his lifetime,
stopped him telling
his son that he was in the wrong.
Oluchi became
a junior madame in their house.
How the hell do you think
you can get away with this?
Charles also lost money in Reachvest.
- But Charles and Robert
- Leave my house!
- Get out!
- Stilll became close friends.
Please. It doesn't make any sense.
"Bad guy" isn't for the faint-hearted.
Me, I am faint hearted.
My heart is faint.
- Robert. Robert.
- Get the fuck out of here.
Go and tell them that
you will give them back their money!
See! I will fucking slap you!
I will fucking slap you!
Today was the perfect day
to enter that house.
Because Robert told
all the security to go on holiday.
So now or never.
- Chubi, why don't you want to help me?
- See
I have heard everything you want to say.
Any little thing, you will ask me
to introduce you to Davido.
I don't even know if you can sing?
I have never heard you sing.
Music isn't a joke.
Okay, let me force your brain.
What's a falsetto?
- Falsetto?
- See, you don't know.
That's why I See
Music isn't for everyone.
Wait, I'm coming.
Chubi, you didn't listen to my demo.
Should I play my demo for you?
- Have you heard me sing before?
- Hello?
- Hello. Engage. Romeo Alpha Juliet.
- See Chubi, I'm not just bragging.
- Engage, engage at this moment!
- If you listen to my demo,
you will be begging David to
- to sign me on.
- You said?
See, don't worry. If it's about music
and you want to do music...
- Don't worry, let me go and get my phone.
- Oh! Don't worry about that.
The way you are,
I already know how your voice sounds.
Are you sure I shouldn't go
and get my phone.
Wait, no need to get your phone,
it's me that you are talking to.
Just make sure that
it's not love songs you want to produce.
The industry is saturated with
love songs. Can you sing burial songs?
- Burial song?
- Yes.
- Who died in your house?
- Nobody. Idiot, nobody will die.
But, it will only you be you
collecting money from shows at funerals.
- Ah, Boss!
- Oh! If anyone... Welcome, sir.
- Welcome, sir. Welcome, sir.
- Americana! Lord!
Why are you still here?
Is it me?
- He wants to help me with my music career.
- Uh
- I wanted to pop out some
- I was about leaving,
but it's him that delayed me.
I was about leaving,
but it's him that delayed me.
My Afrobeat career.
- That's all.
- Alright.
- I wanna go now.
- Chubi.
- Don't forget me.
- Sure fam!
- Tell them. You hear?
- No problem, we will see later.
- Tell them.
- Alright, my G.
Okay. Thank you. Chubi!
If Chubi had any courage at all
he would have stolen
Robert's gold stash by himself.
But his faint heart could only handle
pointing out three possible locations.
Yo, guys.
Nothing is here.
Any lucky on your side?
Hello? Guys?
I didn't see anything.
Wasiu! Are you there?
God.
Ahn-ahn. Um, Robert.
- Hi, Dad.
- Come, Son.
Uh, just
Yeah, I need to get something
from my room. I'll be right back.
Who is there? Talk to me. What's going on?
I'm busy.
Abeke.
- Can you just give him a listening ear?
- Mommy.
Listen to him.
Do that now.
What is it,
that you said you needed to do?
Over! Over!
Ol' boy! Seems like
I found something. I've found it.
That was surprisingly easy.
We should have done
this a long time ago. I am coming.
- What do you think you are doing?
- I
- What's up? Where's Tafa?
- We have made it!
- Yeh!
- Shh. No need to shout.
Tafa. Tafa?
Tafa! Copy.
- Tafa!
- Don't shout.
Tafa?
Tafa! I will kill your father! Move out!
Tafa!
Tafa! Please.
Tafa! Shit.
- Tafa! Thunder will strike you! Over!
- Don't shout!
- What's wrong with you?
- Sorry, sorry.
- We have made it big time!
- Wait.
Mommy! Mommy!
Mommy! Mommy!
Mommy!
Yeh!
Mommy!
Mommy! Mommy!
What is that? What
Robert.
- Robert?
- What is it?
- Easy.
- Move!
- Wait! Ah!
- Move!
- Move!
- Please!
- Where is I can't find
- Please.
- Easy, easy.
- Please.
Calm down.
Calm down!
Aren't we
in the same industry as you?
It's okay. It's okay.
I don't want
to kill anybody today.
Good. Good. Very good.
But if you like,
try and be like Spartacus.
Then you will find out
it's not rubber bullets
I brought to this place.
I am here for the loot.
Let me have it in peace.
To avoid causalities.
Loot?
What loot?
- Which loot?
- Oh, mommy!
I don't understand
what you people are talking about.
- Where is the loot?
- Please.
Look there is no money in this house.
No money at all.
And the truth is that,
we are very peaceful here.
Leave my family alone. We are good...
Sir! Sir! Sir, please!
- I have a confession to make.
- Ahn-ahn.
I am not part of this family.
My parents don't have money.
Chief has plenty money. That's why
they want me to marry his daughter.
I don't have any money, sir.
Please, let me go. I'll go
- and I won't tell anybody!
- Quiet!
Samuel!
- Please! Leave my son! Leave my son!
- Dad! I don't wanna die! Dad!
Dad. I don't want to die
Please just give him what he wants.
- You will not die. Leave my son.
- Dad. I don't want to die
- Please just give him what he wants.
- You will not die. Leave my son.
- Dad, I'm begging you.
- Please leave my son.
Please. Please.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- Hello!
- Hi!
- Hello!
- Hi!
When I say "hello", you say "hi".
Didn't you go to school?
- Hello!
- Hi!
- Good.
- Charles?
It's not Charles.
This is Charles, of course.
Who else will say "hello"
and force everyone to say "hi".
So many people
say that exact thing in the world.
Charles, if it's you,
we don't have any proof or anything.
It's not like we saw you face.
Charles, if it's you
don't take off the mask. Then...
Boss Charles,
I swear I didn't see your face.
Boss Charles, why did you do that?
Please.
Anybody who sees, will get hit.
Anybody who sees, will get hit.
- It is what it is.
- Boss Charles.
It is what it is.
And as it is, you will all die.
If you want peace, let me have my loot.
Or else people...
Good, good. Hold him!
- Hold him! Hold him!
- Bastard!
Robert, hold his hand!
Robert! Come and hold his hand down.
Apobi!
- Friend!
- Drop the gun, hold the hand.
Hold his hand.
Beat him.
You don't know how to hold the guy.
See, hold the gun like this!
- Let me show you!
- Shut!
The fuck up!
- Ah Son? What is...
- All of you!
- All that is not necessary.
- Why are you shooting at my roof?
Do you know how much...
Will you shut the fuck up! Shut...
Robert! What's wrong with you, my son?
- What is it?
- Everyone shut the fuck up!
What's going on?
What is this?
This was supposed to be,
a simple fucking robbery.
A simple job. Break in.
Take the loot. Leave.
That's it.
I don't know what the fuck these fools
are doing here. What are you doing here?
I had a very simple plan.
- Did you call me your son?
- Mmh!
I heard you say "son."
Did you call me your son?
I am your biological fa...
Ask me... Aye! Shut up! Shut up! Shut...
Aye!
If anyone moves, I swear to God
I will fucking kill
every single one of you.
- I'm going to ask you something. Okay?
- Yes. Yes, I am ready to answer.
When was the last time
you were a father to me? Ask yourself.
When have you ever been a father to me?
I I
You left us with nothing.
You know that, right?
You know that, right? When I talk to you,
you answer.
Okay.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
She was pregnant when you left.
Who does that?
No, who does that!
Do you know what it's like
for a single mother without papers
and no money living over there?
Do you know what it's like?
Do anyone of you know what it is like
- to be in foster care over there?
- Ha!
- Do any of you know?
- My brother in the Lord.
Violence is not the way out.
We can sort this out amicably.
- Ha! Ha!
- We are all Nigerians...
Do you know?
I am asking you a fucking question!
King!
For goodness' sakes
You the thing that gets to me the most
is that she actually thought the world
of you.
She used to tell me every single day.
Every single day.
"Your father is a good man"
"Your father is a good man."
That's all she used to say.
- Are you a good man?
- Huh?
Are you a good man?
Ask yourself how she died.
Do you even know?
My mom killed herself because of you.
Aye! Shut up! Shut the fuck up!
Look I'm not fucking
with any of you guys, okay?
How many times did I hear,
"Your father will come back,
when he makes enough money."
Right? That's what you told her, right?
How do you think I felt when I came here,
and see you eating money
for fucking breakfast! Huh?!
Huh?
I come here, I see you living the life.
But it's okay.
I understand it now. It all makes sense.
Money is everything, right?
Right? Money is everything.
Because it has to be the most
important thing. It surely has to be,
if it can keep a father
from his own fucking biological son.
It has to be the most important thing.
I said no problem. That's fine.
That's fine. I will make enough money.
For everyone.
Okay my family
will never suffer. I will never be poor.
Even if I have to steal
and kill every single one of you,
my family will never suffer.
Please, we're begging you.
I came over here thinking,
maybe it's like a good thing.
You know. Maybe if I did enough,
I could connect with my family.
But it's okay. I made my mistakes,
I'll be the first one to say
I'm not perfect.
Okay. Yes. I did a couple of things wrong.
Yes, I went to jail.
Yes I have been arrested.
Yes I am wanted for fraud.
That's okay.
That's life. I'm still a good guy.
- The Lord...
- In the US?
Are you
Do you guys actually believe,
I just got here from the States?
No, honestly. Do I sound like somebody
who just came from the States!
Even the bible made it clear
that those that, "Those that stood by... "
What the fuck is wrong with you guys?
You know what,
why am I still putting on this accent?
[In Nigerian accent] Eh see,
I will kill all of you guys.
- No!
- Aye! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
I will fucking kill all of you.
Don't fucking try me.
Look. I left the States
when I was sixteen.
Okay? I had to leave. Yeah.
I'm wanted all over the world. It's fine.
Don't worry. It's not even a problem.
But I come here and I see you living
a fucking life with your fucking queen.
This stupid, pompous bitch!
- And you!
- Please don't kill me.
Get the fuck over here!
Get the fuck over here!
Hey! Hey! Get over here!
Ah!
Robert, please.
She's your sister!
- She's your sister!
- She's my what! She's my what?!
Did me and my mother,
not deserve all of this?
Did we not?!
Listen. I don't have time
to play with you guys anymore. Okay.
If anyone moves, you kill them.
- I'm going to ask you once. Where is it?
- Hmm?
- Where is it!
- Where is what?
I'm gonna ask you one last time.
- Or I will kill every...
- Come on, bring this
Stop!
Drop it!
Wait. Wait.
Stop it. Stop it.
- Fucking drop it.
- Tafa give it to them.
- It's in the walls.
- Drop it.
- Ha!
- Everybody go down!
- Hey!
- It's in the walls.
- Daddy!
- See money!
Daddy!
Everybody down. Get down!
In the walls.
- There's the money.
- See!
This idiot hide the money in the walls.
Keep your eye on them. Okay?
If you guys want, I'll kill you.
Ha!
God! God!
This man, see where
you are hiding our money.
Something two million people could share.
All these politicians,
it's only hell fire you will know.
- Daddy!
- Eh?
Ha!
Even the Devil is shocked.
Look at where you are keeping money.
Ha!
All of us will eat!
- Ha!
- I told you.
You are just as much
as a criminal as I am.
You are looking at me
like I am the bad guy. Huh?
Look at all this money.
Look at all this fucking money.
I said I fucking knew it.
Knew it.
Jesus.
Thieving son of a bitch. Please!
Like father, like son.
Bobby, it's getting late. Let's go.
My friend! Will you go
and get the car! Stupid fool!
Bobby!
Where is this guy?
Everyone stay still. Stay where you are,
you are all evidence now.
Hey!
The Lord is good!
He has done me well! Oh my soul!
Our gold is here, we should leave.
Raise up and praise the lord
Thank you Jesus.
We still made off with something.
Stop!
Daddy!
Thief!
Thief!
It's my money.
My people! My people!
Money has arrived.
Let's just say
more than paid for the damage Robert did.
In a way,
I think he was trying to pay
for the damage he did to Robert.
Rumor has it
that he still has quite
a lot hidden underground.
Look! An issue for another day please.
Oluchi! I beg you call the
Ghanaian Embassy
and tell them I'll turn myself in.
Just tell them, I beg you.
Oluchi! Oluchi! I can't go
to jail in Nigeria, please. Oluchi!
It took us some time,
but we all got our acts together.
And oh! I wrote a book.
After my PhD.
Because I wanted to reach people,
who would never read my PhD thesis.
So where would I be in the picture?
Just take a selfie.
Moral of this chapter

Bro, what's up?
What's the latest? I heard that
You want to invest
But you're not buoyant
Bro, come let's talk in private.
Truthfully, let me tell you how it goes
Any money invested in Reachvest, huh?
After one month, you'll make 100%
But if you don't have money
Come, let me lend to you
But you will give me 20% of the profit
My name is Rob and I keep my promises
When I say this is for real
You know what time it is
It's time to cast away
The fear and the doubts
Missed an opportunity
Is not what I'm about
It's better to be full of promise
No regret, and I know is what friends
That do the test. It's time
To make money, take it out and invest
