[newscaster] Five thousand skaters across the country will vie for honors
in the National Speed Marathon slated to hold in Lagos in the year 2020.
According to the National Coordinator of the event,
five thousand male and female athletes
will participate in the 42,5 kilometer race.
This event shall also feature participants from African countries
and guest athletes from Europe.
Popular actress Wor-Degbetuwa makes her debut in the music industry
with her highly-anticipated upcoming single, Na We Be That.
Music producer, Vanessa and her crew were found with
possession of a Class One restricted substance
and are currently in custody by Nigerian authorities…
[man] …interns, review documents,
meeting with
Mr. Adeyemi, I better get it…
[newscaster] Students are standing with their teachers in protest…
[man] Lunch with Nadine as usual, then Bimpe.
What else, what else?
[newscaster] …in various cities across the country.
[newscaster] Our network interviewed disgruntled teachers
who claim the condition turned out to be different than
what they had been promised
- Different from, not different than. - by the minister of education.
[newscaster] When contacted
by our network, the chairman said everything will be done to insure…
Ensure, not insure. Mr. Newscaster!
Ugh!
[newscaster] A wave of protest has been seen by education bodies
requesting for more attention to adult education
which has received less attention than some feel it deserves.
- And now for the weather. - [man2 grunts]
Dare!
What is wrong with you?
I've told you several times not to leave the TV turned on all through the night.
[in Pidgin] Was watching an American movie where Jet Li almost beat Jackie Chan.
Olu Jacobs came to separate them.
[man] That's your problem.
- [in Pidgin] What's up? - You're always watching something.
Who is it?
[female voice] It's me, babe.
[upbeat music plays]
- Sugar boo! - Sugar boo.
[laughs]
[Dare in Pidgin] Please, I'm trying to sleep here. "Sugar boo" all the time.
Everywhere you go, it's like the soundtrack of Titanic.
Whatever, Dare!
- Whatever! Damn you! - [gasps]
Just ignore him. He's just a hater.
- Did you hear what he said? He's so rude. - Ignore him.
I've had enough of this Dare guy.
Ignore him.
So why are you here so early?
Well, I wanted to surprise you.
- I know today is your big presentation. - Oh!
And I wanted to come by in person to wish you luck
rather than through text messages.
Aww! Darling, that is so sweet of you, but it isn't today.
Oh! It isn't?
- Nope. It's not. - I could have sworn.
Today, my boss gets to decide who handles the merger and the presentation.
So it's just as important.
I knew it was an important day.
- Yes you did. - Aww! My sugar boo.
Mister Temi, Good morn…
- Yeah. - Aw!
- Sister Nadine, good morning. - [giggles] Good morning.
- Mrs. Akpan-- - Excuse me, sir.
[in Pidgin] What would you like to eat? So I can and prepare it for you.
- Uh, just one second, darling. - Okay.
- [Temi] Go on. - [Nadine] Alright.
Mrs. Akpan.
Whatever you do, please and please and please.
No speaking of Pidgin English when Nadine is in the house.
I have told you this a million times. Please.
Okay, sir.
It's not just about saying "okay."
Just promise me when my girlfriend is around,
no local behavior whatsoever. Please.
[in Pidgin] Okay sir, I am sorry.
- [sighs in relief] - I mean, I am apology.
[groans in disappointment]
- What can I have for breakfast? - There is one akara.
There is akara.
There is some akara and some pap.
And some paps?
And a pap?
Mr. Temi, this English language is too difficult.
- You know what, just make the akara. - Okay, I will make it.
Mr. Temi!
Instead of him to tell me he wants to eat, then I cook and he eats,
he is asking me to speak English.
How does English help me? I don't know.
[Temi] Do you know,
that in my office right now, there is so much competition.
And everyone seems to be
at their A-game.
But why are they always competing at your office though?
Hey, Mrs. Akpan.
Is that not unhealthy or something?
[Temi] Well,
I think sometimes competition helps people to be their best. I think.
But the problem is, Pere is so…
I think he's doing too much lately. But at the end of the day,
-the best man wins. - [gasps]
And everybody is trying to prove a point,
- [squeals in excitement] - act like they know what's best.
Darling, for me I just feel like it would really help my career.
And…
Hello, sir.
[Temi] Okay! Well, we're set.
How do I look?
[woman] I have news.
The Americans are no longer sending the proxies to finalize the deal.
They're sending representatives from the States to present the presentation.
- Oh boy! - Sorry about that.
About what?
- Present the presentation, lazy diction. - No, it's okay.
When did we find out about this?
- Mr. Adeyemi got the email this morning. - Hmm!
I hope this does not make the publishers panic.
What about the interns?
They're waiting for you in the conference room.
I hope they did a great job with the merger documents.
They've put in an effort.
An effort? Meaning, they didn't do a good job?
I didn't say that.
On my word, I'm going to eat their heads.
[laughs] Be nice.
This is too important for the firm. I cannot afford to allow anything happen--
Be nice. We do not need these documents until we,
the publishers and the printing press all shake hands.
And when we eventually shake hands,
we have to be prepared and one step ahead of the game.
That is the minimum.
My point is, there is enough time to sort out whatever errors.
The D-day is around the corner so for now there is no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Today is going to be really hot and when I get in there,
they're all going to feel my wrath.
Do you understand?
I like that you're firm, and it will help them grow.
But you can do that without… just don't make them feel small.
Okay.
- Good morning. - Good morning, sir.
[Temi] Um, I'm looking at the email you sent me on the 15th.
Yes, sir.
Seventeen attachments.
- I think. - You think or you know?
No, no-- I know.
My research on the strategic approach to the merger, did you study it?
- Yes, sir. - All 15 slides?
All of it.
- All of them. - All of them.
Did you flag anything I may have missed?
Am not sure, but I doubt.
I'm, not am.
- I'm, I'm not sure. - Rationale for the merger, summarize.
Um, growing business scale.
Strengthening competitive advantage. Um, expansion of mutual…
Mutual expansion of global reach.
The American printing press can gain entry into the Nigerian market--
[Temi] Our weakest point?
The current financial problems that we are struggling with.
Challenges not problem.
And we are restructuring and rectifying, not struggling with.
As a counterbalance, what added value can we bring to the table?
Especially as regards to creating adjacencies.
[comedic music playing]
Ideally, something that simultaneously buttresses our relevance
while opening another income channel for all parties.
I need ideas on this first thing tomorrow.
[interns] Yes, sir!
Beyond the obvious angle of market expa…
There's a spelling error. There's a spelling error on the document file.
Oh shit! Am sorry, sir.
- Again, I'm not am. - I'm, I'm sorry, sir.
And there's a malapropism here on the document file.
What is wrong with you?
- A mal-? - A malapropism.
Resolution, not revolution. Do you know what malapropism means?
Honestly sir, am not sure.
- For the last time, I'm not am. - I'm, I am…
Apply some basic propriety to your grammar when speaking with me, if you don't mind.
I do more than half of the job here for you.
All you have to do is to create simple documents, and yet you can't get it done.
Sir, no. I did not have enough time to put everything--
And yet you have time for excuses.
- No sir, it's not an excuse. - Excuse me!
Excuse me, sir. It's go-time.
Mr. Adeyemi wants to see you and Mr. Pere in his office.
Eve!
You cannot as a Junior Associate continue to make amateur level errors.
Misspelled words, misused words.
You can simply jeopardize the contract for goodness sake.
- Sir, I honestly-- - Don't argue with me when you are wrong.
Listen. If I'm going to keep being your mentor,
you seriously have to up your game
beyond this local champion level you're operating at.
You look educated enough for the job.
Except you're some sort of undercover illiterate.
You better start doing your job. You really need to start doing your job.
[man] Gentlemen!
First of all, I must say, great job.
Great job by both of you.
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.
Your presentation was ace.
Yes.
But as you know, it's been pretty rough for all of us here
in the last couple of months.
But, positives to the negatives, both of you have done even more this year.
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.
Now, deciding between both of you who should
broker the merger was a tricky feat.
But, as always
the best interest of the firm is priority.
So Pere,
your presentation is great.
It showed very impressive initiative in finding the client in the first place.
Thank you, sir.
However,
Temi has a strong plan, which is better suited for
the overall dynamics of the deal.
So, Temi.
You have the knife in your hand, be prepared to strike.
Um, I have actually been ready since day one.
And my entire team and myself are fully prepared and ready for this.
So Pere,
you will takeover the Haruna Holdings contract fully. Okay?
No problem, sir.
Hey, look here.
I don't want you to see it as a small project.
Remember, every business is important.
- Yes, sir. - Good. Thank you, gentlemen.
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.
- [Pere] Yo, Temi. - [Temi] Yes?
Sorry. I was wondering, the Haruna Holding contract,
I was wondering if I can get the files?
Yeah, I will sort that out first chance I get.
Okay. First chance when? Today? First chance tomorrow?
The thing is, I would just really like to get them
you know ah-sap so I can start working on it over the weekend.
ASAP, not ah-sap!
Yeah, I know you want to have a little thing doing
just to keep yourself busy, I understand. So I will sort you out once I can.
Temi, the thing is, I brought in this client,
but you were given the business, and that's fine. We are a team.
I was not given anything, Pere.
Come on, with all due respect the best man won.
The merger was always going to end up on my desk.
Come on. This is clearly out of your league.
Out of my league how exactly, Temi?
Is this supposed to be the Champions League and I'm Stoke City?
You still don't get it, do you?
If this was some sort of presentation for the Nigerian publishers,
maybe, just maybe, you could have sorted that out.
Maybe.
But the Americans are going to be there in person.
Take a look at yourself and take a look at me.
Do it.
Who do you really think the Americans will feel more comfortable around?
You or me?
Get it? [chuckles]
[suspense music heightens]
[haunting music plays]
[Temi] Okay. So from what I see here,
it's a zero-interest loan, not a grant.
[in uncouth accent] Yes. Zero-interest loan for SMEH enterprises.
For what?
SMEH enterprises.
- [Temi] No idea. - I mean, SMEH enterprises.
Oh!
I just like calling it SMEH. It's an abbreviation, short form.
Oh my!
You will never change, Bimpe. The E in SME stands for Enterprise.
- You don't have to say… - I know!
[in uncouth accent] Like the M in ATM. I know that, Mr. Lawyer.
I've heard you. [laughs]
Temi, when will I meet your girlfriend?
Every time I ask, you say "next time." This is another opportunity.
[in Pidgin] Won't I meet her?
You will, you will.
Come on. Just exercise a little more patience. You will.
So how has work been so far?
[Bimpe] Well, we are making it.
Thank you.
Sorry. Excuse me.
Why? Just…
You still haven't stopped this habit. You just said you didn't want any wine.
- You still had to go for mine. - And so?
[Bimpe tuts] Please.
So, um…
You want me to write the whole business plan?
Yes, please.
- When is the deadline? - Um, Monday. This Monday.
That is the same day for my presentation. It wouldn't work.
Temi, no! You can't do that.
Please, help me.
[in Pidgin] I really need your help with this. Please, Temi.
It's not like I don't want to help you.
The truth is you have no idea how busy I am Bimpe.
You don't.
Okay, let's do it this way. What if, what if you hire someone--
- Here you go again. - [Temi] No.
So I would have someone like you and still go wasting money?
- Just to write something? - It's not… [sighs]
Temi, if I get this loan, I can start my boutique or my restaurant.
That's part of the reason I came to Lagos. So I can scout for locations.
I really want to help, I just feel like, you know…
[Temi] Thank you.
Please, kindly pack my food in a takeaway pack.
[Bimpe] Thank you.
Anyway, how long are you in town for the location scouting?
- Till the day after tomorrow. - The day after tomorrow. Okay.
[Temi] Dare is even at my place.
[Bimpe] Mr. D-man, it's been such a long time since I last saw him.
Has he wizened up now?
So um, why don't you go on without me.
I will see you at home, I have to meet up with the,
the manager real quick.
Um, don't forget your phone. I'll get it for you.
I need to meet up with him, so I will join at home shortly.
I am tired as well. I want to go to sleep.
- Don't be long. - I will not.
- Please help me collect my takeout food. - Yeah, I'll get it.
- Yeah. See you! - [Bimpe] Alright.
Okay.
[whistles]
- [Nadine] Hi, sugar boo! - [Temi] Hello, darling!
- How are you? - I'm okay.
- Aw, you're here. - You're good? [laughs]
‪[laughing] Yes I am.
Sir?
- This is the takeout for your friend. - Oh, okay.
- Yeah, it's for Bimpe. - Where?
Your sister, Bimpe, she's here? Oh my God! I finally get to meet her.
- Where is she? - [Temi grunts]
She was actually here earlier but she had to leave urgently. Something came up.
It was an emergency so she had to rush off.
But don't worry, you will still get to meet her.
Oh my God. Thank you, darling.
[kisses hand]
[Temi] Thank you, darling.
Yeah, you can just keep that.
- Have a seat, my darling. - Okay.
‪Sit. Have a seat.
- Are you sure? - Yes, there you go.
[Temi] There you go.
[Temi sighs]
I'm here to clean out your trash, sir.
You're here to take out the trash.
[janitor] Yes. Take out the trash.
[door shuts]
Sir.
I noticed you were correcting three of your colleagues
because of the choice of their words, I presume.
- And now, you are correcting me. - [Temi grunts]
Eloquent diction is a thing I regard in people, if you must know.
Ah. True.
But sir,
is it fair to regard people based on that?
Fair or not, that's the way it is.
You shouldn't expect me to regard you if you can't express yourself properly.
I don't think eloquence should be rated over character, sir.
[chuckles]
Well, keep thinking the way you think while picking up trash.
And I will keep thinking the way I think while making more important decisions.
[chuckles]
Do you believe in superstition, Mr. Johnson?
Because where I come from, it's a taboo
if three people snap their fingers at you in one day.
[Temi] Okay.
And so?
And so a befitting curse falls upon you, just like that.
- [haunting music plays] - [ominous laughter]
‪[haunting music continues]
[crickets chirping]
[snoring]
Sir?
Mr. T, sir.
Sir, you need to wake up now. The interns have been ready for you for over an hour.
- And Mr. Adeyemi-- - [Temi] What's, what's time?
- 9:30. - 9:30?
Ah Aisha! Why doesn't you woke me up now?
I tried severally but you were fast asleep.
You must have worked overnight.
Does I? Didn't even knew.
Peradventured.
Are you okay?
- The interns are ready for you. - Alright.
Let's went. Let's be go.
‪[groans]
Hey Aisha, where's Temi?
[door closes] Okay.
- [Pere] Temi, good morning. - [Temi] Good morning.
So, I'm doing a due diligence report on the Haruna Holdings file.
And I was wondering if you could help me review it when I'm done, so…
[Temi sniffs]
…seeing you were the one who was handling it before.
No problem. No problem.
Sending it.
Alright, I will be sending it to you sometime in the middle of next week.
- [Temi] Okay. - I will email it to you on Wednesday.
- No problem. - Oh!
Thank you, Temi.
[Aisha] Okay, let's begin.
[Temi grunts]
So I came up with an idea about your question
on how we can create added value while--
Sorry. First of all, I'll like to indicate that I have corrected
all the spelling errors and addressed all the mal-
Maraporo--
‪[comic music plays]
Maraporo--
[Temi] What?!
What did I just say?
The maraporo--
- Uh, just continue. - Okay.
So Fly Whisk Publishers, they do not have any prints or titles in the legal field.
And that is the angle I feel we can create mutual adjacency for the benefit of--
You do not have to say mutual adjencess--
Mutual adjencess--
That's totoro--
That's, tortorogy.
Mutual adjacency is tautological.
You don't have to say… You know what? Just say adjacency.
Okay. I'm sorry. Um, so, yes.
We at Adeyemi and Associates…
[Temi] What is wrong? What is wrong with me?
Okay, what's going on? What's happening to me?
[mutters gibberish]
What's happening to me? What happened to me?
That way I feel we can not only offer added value
but we will also be able to open a new market.
That's a brilliant idea.
- Yeah, great idea. - Thank you.
But, what I don't know is whether we have the capacity
to provide that kind of consultancy.
Yeah. I will spoke to--
‪[comic music continues]
I will s--
So, yeah.
I will spoke to Mr. Adeyemi about it.
- Aisha, just um… - Sure, I will wrap up here.
[Aisha whispers] Mr. T.
Are you okay?
Yes, can we…?
So on page six, that's where I addressed all the legal issues…
[upbeat music playing]
[Temi] Temi, calm down. You're fine. I think you're just hungry, that's all.
Okay. Think.
Come on Temi, you've got this.
"Procedure for intermediate and large mergers."
Puceridure!
Puceridure f--
Intermidarija!
Puceridure for intermidari-darija!
[whimpers]
[Temi] "Merger."
Meja!
"Mer-ger."
Meja! [muffled whimper]
"Mer-ger."
Meja!
No!
Meja! Ah!
[sobs] I'm razz! I'm razz!
- [Aisha] Mr. T, what's happening? - [sobs]
Help me. [sobs] Help me.
I don't know. I'm trying to speak good English but
nonsense is commoting of my mouth.
Do you need to see a doctor?
Did you like, maybe take some sort of expired pain killers?
I don't… I don't… or could…
Abi it's the coffree?
- What did you put inside the coffree? - I put coffee inside the coffee.
What's this, what's this?
‪What's going…?
What's going on? Mr. Adeyemi wants to see you.
And Mr. Ikenna is here with his lawyers.
Lawyers? But it's nezt week they are…
Nezt week. Nez! Next!
He has some sort of panic attack I heard. It's just like you said.
The news of the Americans sending in representatives
spooked him and magnified his worries about
our ability to handle things.
I knew it, I knew it. I knew this was going to happen.
My speech is back.
It has returned-ed. [yelps]
It has returning. [muffled yelp]
It has returns. [groans]
Returns, returns.
You know what will happen?
You will spoke for me.
No. You will be spoken for me.
Spoken!
You will just be adding small English.
What's funny? Why are you…
I am sorry. You will spoke for me? [laughs]
I am sorry.
Be doing anyhow.
I will speak for you.
Gentlemen, every business has it ups and downs.
But then, I don't think we… oh, Temi.
Mr. Ikenna is worried that the little challenge
we are going through will ruin his business chances with the Americans.
[in Igbo] No, no, Ade.
It is not so. Hmm?
You are like a brother. You are even the one who brought this business to me.
That's true.
[Mr. Ikenna] All I want to know is that you are fully prepared for the oyinbo.
- We have to be more, you know… - [Mr. Adeyemi] Ikenna, Ikenna.
We are happy, ready to address any issues. Temi.
‪[comic music plays]
Temi!
[mutters]
[mouths] You have to excuse us.
[man] So, just for the records.
What assurances are you giving us that your focus is in the best interest
of this deal, and not merely in your own interest?
Temi.
Loyalty.
Okay. Well.
Just for the records again. If your entity fails, not like we think it will,
but given technical even though unlikely possibility,
what security are you giving Fly Whisk Publishers
that it will not, in fact, be compromised?
Temi.
[Temi] Our insurance policy covers clients from any in-house complications.
Insurance.
Cover, cover, cover.
Alright. But despite the interest of the international merger,
you are also aware that we are interested in local development.
What are your strategies in this regard?
Strategy from our own end is focused
on both domestic and foreign development.
Can you give some insight on this?
Temi.
[Temi] Once we consolidate product upgrades from Americans with our content,
we’ll be appropriately positioned for both the domestic and foreign markets.
The Americans are at the centre of it all.
How the hell am I supposed to communicate this?
Oyinbo. Oyinbo!
Actually, partnership with oyinbo
can be very influential both at home and abroad.
There you have it! Ikenna, there you have it! [laughs]
[Temi] Temi, you've got this.
Loyalty,
insurance,
- and oyinbo power. [chuckles] Yeah. - [men laugh]
Those are the pillars we need for this merger.
And those are exactly what we guarantee to deliver.
Look,
there is no problem at all.
Let us look forward to the main thing.
- The Americans are in Abuja now. - Okay.
I will call and welcome them and then get back to you.
- Lawyer, come on. - Beautiful, Ikenna.
- Mr. Ade. [laughs] - [Mr. Adeyemi] Oh! My brother.
It's nice to have you in my office. [chuckles]
Enjoy the rest of the day.
- [man] Are you joking with me, Temi? - I'm not joking. I'm not.
- Did you hit your head? - At all, at all.
Did you fall? Head a ball? Any kind of trauma?
Which ball am I heading? Nothing.
Nothing happened. Which ball?
Come on!
I sleep normal, as I wake up,
- I have turn to mumu. - Temi, just calm down, okay.
First things first, we'll do a CT scan.
Just so that we can see what's going on inside your brain.
And if you've not had any trauma then,
we'll start thinking psychological, psychosomatic.
[in Pidgin] I am going crazy.
- That's not it, Temi. Temi, calm down. - [in Pidgin] I am going crazy.
Tell me the truth.
If madness is coming towards me, tell me.
You don't have to be hanky-panky with me.
Maybe I can do something.
I hear that, if this thing happens, if you know on time you can reverse it.
Look, let us not jump into any scary conclusions yet.
[Temi] I'm not jumping.
First, we will look at the results from the scan.
Then we'd know the next course of treatment.
- Okay? - Okay.
[crying]
Doctor Jones, I needed your help.
[Jones] That's what I just gave you.
You don't understand.
- This is the consultation. Just-- - I needed your help!
- Listen, Chidera. Chidera! - Yes.
Remember your ex at Bella Naija? Girl, you have to get back with him.
I don't care, you just have to get back with him.
Because I really don't--
[Nadine] Oh.
My.
God!
What happened?
The excessive accumulation of stress, or stresses in this case.
Which in the… as we experts like to call, broca area
which like I earlier explained…
is the part responsible for the processing of the speech…
Yes, thank you.
The processing of the speech production mechanism
in the left hemisphere of the hominid brain.
It's all that pressure that has accumulated
there that has resulted in this verbal and behavioral brouhaha.
[Chidera] Wow! That's crazy.
‪[doctor] Hmm.
I'm sorry. I…
[sighs, clears throat]
What does this mean?
I mean, this isn't really like a permanent situation, right?
Oh no, no. Not at all.
See, the specialized head gear he is wearing is going to help reduce the--
It looks like a normal bandage to me. Like the way--
Yes. I mean, to a layman, or laywoman in this case.
Yes. But like I was saying, over time the specialized head gear
would actually help to assuage some of the pressure in the frontal lobe.
But, how can something so tight relieve pressure? I mean, it's quite tight.
Excuse me, are you a practitioner of the medical arts?
But what is he going to do about work, though?
What is he going to do if he already sounds this messed up?
He has this very big presentation, how is he going to handle it?
Well, he can actually speak.
He can actually speak and maybe that will trigger…
I mean, um,
he definitely has to stay home and not speak at all. He needs to rest the brain.
I think,
resting of the brain,
will easily my speech.
‪[laughs]
[sneers] See.
[in Pidgin] There's no way anyone can convince me otherwise.
This is a spell. They have cast a spell on him.
- Oh, come on. - Ahn-ahn.
[in Pidgin] Even if this is not a spell, it must be a family curse.
Because this has happened in our lineage before.
- Really? - Do you remember Uncle Eric?
Temi!
[in Pidgin] Something like this happened to him and he almost died.
Ah!
- I'm telling you. - Listen to me.
[in Pidgin] The solution is to take you to a traditional medicine practitioner.
[in Pidgin] No, I have a better solution.
There's a powerful man of God. Yes, he's very powerful.
- In fact, he was trained by TB Joshua. - Really?
[Bimpe] Let's take him there.
[in Pidgin] So, why didn't you mention this earlier? Why?
You made us sit here all this while. Hold on, hold on.
Have you eaten kola nut?
- [in Pidgin] Dare has started again. - [speaking Yoruba] What?
What has eating kola nut got to do with this?
Kola nut does wonders.
The reason you are still like this is because you haven't eaten kola nut.
- [Bimpe] Kola nut? - Or maybe you're mentally stressed.
And all you need is a little rest and you'll be back to normal.
- Just like that. - [screams]
- What? - [cries]
- What? - What is the problem.
- [Temi] Is it. - [Dare] What is it?
She do something now.
- [yelping] She do something! - [Dare] Ahn-ahn.
[in Pidgin] That's it.
What happened?
Is one man, is a man.
A old man. A cleaner is in my office.
The man is telling me story.
- He say that in his village, - Okay.
that anytime, if someone in the village,
that if some people come together,
and that if someone--
[in Pidgin] What happened?
He say that if three people, if they do this thing for someone,
that the person, something will befall upon the person.
I now say, nothing concern me.
And as he was speaking, he did the thing.
- Ah! - He do the thing.
- [in Pidgin] He did what? - That thing.
Wait, wait. He did this in your face? Ah!
- [in Yoruba] Ah! Look here! - [Temi] What it mean?
- He did like this in your face? - What it mean?
- He has stolen your glory. - [screams]
Temi, you are the breadwinner in our house.
He has taken your glory.
- That's superstitious balderdash. - What's superstitious about it?
[in Pidgin] Temi, you have offended a wicked person. You've offended an old man.
- No now, no. - What is…?
Wait, wait.
Look me, look me. Check me out. Admire me.
Am I beefable?
I look like person you can be beefing?
- What are you saying? - I'm a happy boy.
Look. Hold on a moment.
Let's recount all that has happened.
You know that my head, my head is always thinking.
Do you understand? That's why people like me, because I always think.
I think beyond the future. I think about things that are still in the future.
What have you thought of?
Remember he mentioned that the man said if three people do like this,
something would happen.
- How many of us are here? - Three.
[laughs]
- Are you thinking what I'm thinking? - Three people.
You see what I'm saying. What is a three number?
A three number is a significant number, just like the number seven.
Let the three of us do like this at him, the curse will be lifted.
- [Aisha in Hausa] Are you for real? - [mocking] Are you for real, what?
[in Yoruba, Pidgin] I swear, the curse will stop.
Okay, hit me.
[in Yoruba] Temi has injured me.
Sorry. Sorry.
- [Temi screams] - [Dare] Hold on.
I just slapped him hoping it would reset his brain.
You are the one who suggested eating kola nut. Now it's a slap.
- Which one of them will work? - Sorry.
‪[Bimpe] Sorry, sorry.
It's probably because I slapped him on this side,
maybe I should slap him on the other side.
[crying] I love your white blouse.
It's not white, I'm wearing a red dress.
[Bimpe] Temi, you're done for.
Hold on, you mentioned something just now.
- You said kola nut. - Yes.
Do you know that God is speaking through you?
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
[in Pidgin] The kola nut you mentioned is the real deal.
That's what he has to eat. Didn't I say so?
You know kola nut is a natural fruit.
If he eats kola nut, and we snap our fingers,
the curse will be lifted.
[Bimpe] You may have a point.
Let's use this instead since kola nut isn't available right now.
Eat the kola nut!
Very good. Now the three of us will snap our fingers.
Are you ready? Ready? Action.
I'm not partaking in this rubbish.
- Please, you must partake. Please. - It has to be three people.
- [in Yoruba] Three people. - [in Pidgin] Please.
Please! Okay, let's go.
- [Bimpe] Ah! It worked. - [Dare] Didn't I tell you?
- [Dare] It worked. - [Bimpe] Stand majestically.
Say something.
- Like what? - Just say anything. Say anything.
Okay, you know what, say I didn't do it.
- [Bimpe] Alright. - [Dare] Go on.
- I didn't did it. - Ah!
- [Bimpe] Dare! - [Dare] See…
Look, there's no other solution.
My conclusion is that, dark forces are involved in this.
- Ah! - I can see it.
- This is a dead man's curse. - [in Yoruba] I'm done for!
You. Don't roll your eyes at me. You better stop rolling your eyes at me.
[in Yoruba] What is wrong with you?
I know the things my eyes have seen back in Ibadan.
Temi, I suggest we go to that man of God.
In fact, what am I still doing?
[Bimpe] I'm going to get ready.
We are going.
Mr. T, don't tell me you believe in all this talk of dark forces being involved.
No. I doesn't.
There are dark forces involved.
- Yes! - I told you.
It's not a ordinary, it's a dark force is involved.
Please.
- What does we does about it? - Huh?
- [Temi] What does we does about it? - [laughs]
[laughing] What… What does… What does…?
[dramatic music plays]
[speaking in tongues comically]
‪Up! Up! Excuse me.
Up! Up!
[speaking in tongues comically]
‪[Bimpe] Amen! Amen!
- Out! - [yelps]
[speaking in tongues continues]
- Demon, out! - [yelping]
- [speaking in tongues] Oh you demon! - [screams]
- Oh you demon! - I'm not doing again.
[pastor shouting] Hey!
‪[Bimpe] Amen, amen!
- [Temi yelping] - Come here! Hey!
Come, come. Listen to me. Are you listening?
[in Pidgin] This condition of yours is pure black magic.
I'm telling you, this man I've brought you to will resolve everything at once.
Please don't go in there and ask him dumb questions.
But why is this place… I don't know.
What is wrong with it? This place is like any other place.
You haven't even gone inside.
- Is your body not scratching you? - My body is not itching. Let's go inside.
‪[splutters] Guy.
Ah! My customer!
My pal!
- My customer! - My pal!
You're welcome. Come in. I see you brought a new customer.
Come inside, customer.
My pal! This is my brother.
[man] I know him. I remember him.
He's even wondering because he recognizes me. You're welcome.
This is my second hustle.
You know, anything that can't be solved with the cross,
you'll solve it with the calabash. Conquer it.
I have told him everything about you. That the solution to his problem is here.
Why are you acting funny? Stand up straight. Nonsense.
Your problem will be solved.
That problem that you have,
- [in Yoruba] You are mighty! - [in Yoruba] Relax!
- You haven't seen anything yet. - Just pay attention.
When I said I was going to bring you here, did you think I was a fool?
[in Yoruba] You are mighty.
- Just continue. - [in Yoruba] You are mighty.
You get it.
You see this I'm about to give to you, I don't give it to ordinary customers.
I don't give it to ordinary customers, only to premium customers.
- [Dare] It's for my sake. - [man] It's for your sake.
- [in Yoruba] You are mighty! - [in Yoruba] Relax!
[Dare] This is magic.
Thank you.
Let me add an extra portion just because you are a premium customer.
Let me add extra.
That's it.
[man] I don't know why you are scratching your body.
So here it is.
This is the answer to all your problems.
Do you see this?
You are to take one capful. One capful three times a day.
- No problem. - Do you understand?
- [Dare] I will explain it to him further. - Explain it to him further.
One capful, three times everyday.
[Dare] I will explain it to him further, he doesn't really understand.
Take this from my hand. What is wrong with you?
[Dare in Pidgin] Don't be angry.
He's not very bright. He once fell off a motorcycle when he was young.
Oh I get it. That's the cause of the problem.
[in Yoruba] You are mighty!
You can mix it with anything. Water, malt drink or any soft drink.
Just don't mix it with stout.
- [in Yoruba] You are mighty! - [man] That's it.
- What about that other woman? - That woman!
[Dare in Pidgin] Whenever she sees me, she asks me to thank you.
She says she hasn't seen a potion that effective before.
I told you it would work.
She even gave it to her friend as well.
I have a flyer now. This is to create awareness.
[Dare] Flyer for what? Are you holding a crusade?
[man] It is not a crusade. It's Prophet Wonder.
There's nothing we don't solve. We are even on social media now.
We are on Instagram. And Twitter, how do I create an account?
[Dare] Twitter? That's very easy, I can help you create an account.
- So you can help me? - That's a simple thing to do.
- Customer! - [in Yoruba] You are mighty!
Look, you have my support.
[priest] Give the flyers to all your family members.
‪-[Temi screams] ‪-[priest] What happened?
[Dare] What happened? Tell me. Jesus!
- How many capfuls did you drink? - Jesus Christ!
‪-How many capfuls did you drink? ‪-Sir, what's wrong?
I told you to take one, you took two! I'm in trouble.
- [screaming continues] - Wait a moment. Don't touch it.
- Don't touch it. - Jesus! Jesus!
[Dare] Don't touch it.
- Wait, I will give you something for it. - [Dare] Jesus Christ!
[Dare] What is this?
- [Dare] Bring something to relieve him. - [man] Stop calling Jesus in the shrine.
- Don't call Jesus in my shrine. - I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
-Ogun! - Don't call Ogun, I don't work with him.
Whom should we call then?
[Dare in Pidgin] Oh God! Jesus! What is this?
Take this, rub it on. Don't rub it right now.
Rub it at night before he goes to bed.
Take this!
[in Pidgin] What shall I do with this?
For the problem he's having.
Don't touch it.
[screams]
[Dare in Pidgin] Let's go the hospital.
Sorry, sorry! Thunder and lightning will strike you.
- I said he should-- - [in Pidgin] Shut up. You're crazy.
I gave him a simple instruction. Take one capful and he took two.
You are calling on Ogun in my shrine.
Do you want Ogun to destroy my shrine? Ogun, I'm sorry.
[in Pidgin] Don't be angry.
[groaning]
[mobile phone ringing]
[Temi] What a beautiful morning!
This thing better have cleared.
Great! Great! It has went!
‪[groaning in exasperation]
‪[sobbing]
‪[indistinct chatter]
‪[indistinct conversation]
[car beeps]
[dramatic music plays]
Please, where's, where is the man?
- Which man? - The man who run enter, he enter here now.
[woman in Pidgin] Sir, I didn't see any man run in here.
[comic music plays]
[in Queen's English accent] I do say, dear lass. A man walked into this store
why not more than a moment ago.
It is imperative that I see him.
I implore you to point me in his direction for it's a matter of the utmost urgency.
And then he snapped his fingers. And well, voila!
Man! That's the same thing he does to me. Just that, my own case is
upside down, reverse.
I've been talking like this for weeks and it's utterly ruined my reputation.
[laughs]
My particular problem, you see, is
I am a street urchin.
I come from a long line of street urchins that
have been a proud part of the history of Lagos for centuries.
What self-respecting street urchin talks like this?
Going around using words whose meaning I don't even know.
I had to move out of the hood because
the other street urchins were conspiring to beat me.
Me!
[in Yoruba] Me!
[in Yoruba] In my hood.
I can't wait to find the man responsible for this.
So I can give him a right rollicking so he gets rid of whatever juju he put over me..
That is the same thing I want to did.
I want to meet him and ask what I did to him that made him did what he did to me.
Because I swear I didn't did anything to him. Look at me.
Honestly, this whole debacle has left me completely flabbergasted.
And I don't even know what flabbergasted means.
Did he also do that?
No, this one is happen long time ago.
Well.
I must admit to having an inkling as to why I may be deserving of such a curse.
My little brother you see wants to go to college and get an education.
But I want him to be like me. A street urchin.
- It's family tradition. - Family tradition?
- A street urchin. - You see? You get it.
So I told a nasty fib.
I decided not to pay for his tuition.
I told him, I can't afford to pay for your college education…
[laughs]
when I very well can.
The poor lad was devastated.
Devastated.
What does devastated mean, please?
Okay.
When…
When emotions…
- feelings… - Right.
like… scatter.
He was definitely that. Devastated.
That very same day I met the old man, and the next morning,
I woke up like this.
[sighs]
It's wrong of me to force him to be like me. Don't you think?
My little brother, I mean.
He doesn't have to be like me.
We all go through life with different stuffings in our baggages now. Don't we?
- [Nadine] You missed lunch. - [Temi] Yes.
[Nadine] Aw, I missed you.
Can I asking you something?
So,
if when me and you met'ed that time,
if I am behaving like this or spoken like this,
will you still
be have affection for me? And…
care? Just will you be with me?
If when we met and you sounded like this, would I still date you?
But this is like a medical condition, right?
Yes, I know. But
what I'm saying is, would you--
[Nadine] I get what you mean.
I love you, Temi.
Not the presentation of you.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
The presentation, the whole accessories that comes with Temi is really cool.
I like that I can't lie, but…
[sighs]
But there's you.
And then there is you.
And I love you. Okay?
I mean, if the presentation was different, but you were still you. Like you, you.
[chuckles]
- Then, I don't know. - Okay like,
Will we even know each other in the first place?
Will we cross our bus stop? Will you pass my front door?
Will we?
Probably not, I guess.
[sighs]
Hey!
Keep your head up. Hmm?
You are still my Temi. You're still my sugar boo.
[laughs] Aw.
Come here.
You'd be okay. Okay? [giggles]
Alright, I need to go now.
I'm covering up for my friend on her late night show, okay? I'll see you. Tada! Bye!
Ah. Temi.
Why don’t you want me to meet your sister? Huh?
We’ve been dating for what,
nine, ten months now? You still don't want me to meet your sister.
I don't care if our backgrounds are different. It doesn't matter.
- I love you, and that's what matters. - Okay.
When will you be closing from the station today?
Nine-ish.
Can you came over to my place
so that you can meet'ed with her? My sister.
[laughing]
Can you came over…
So funny. Yes! Oh, so cute.
Aw, I love you. [giggles]
Bye! [giggles]
‪[teasing] Like, ‪"you can meet'ed her" [laughs]
So funny.
[Bimpe] Look at these people being carried away by the flood.
[in Pidgin] Are you just seeing that? When I told you, you thought I was joking.
I watch it everyday so it doesn't move me anymore.
[in Pidgin] Look at somebody's child. Look at the water.
Let me tell you, the water you're seeing, just keep watching.
- You'll see what-- - [Temi] Ahn-ahn!
So, you didn't knew that someone have enter house?
- [Dare in Yoruba] Big brother! - [Temi hisses]
- Temi, you're welcome. - [Temi in Pidgin] How are you?
We are fine.
Nadine is coming over later tonight.
Are you being serious? She's coming?
- Great! - [laughs]
Finally, I'll get to meet the mystery girlfriend.
- Right? - Yes.
Look at what I was trying to show you the other time.
You see how the water is moving? That's exactly how it will keep going.
[Temi] Hmm.
This is going to be good. Bimpe is fun.
Nadine is going to love my sister. I think this is going to be great.
Are you sure this is acting or it's real?
[Dare] It's real. Everything you see on television is real.
[Bimpe] All this is caused by sin.
When people's sins becomes too much, there can be a flood.
[Temi] Ah, Come on!
[Dare] So you think it's people's sins that causes this?
[Bimpe] It's sin. When sins are too many in a country,
- [Temi] No, this is not good. - [Bimpe] or a place,
- [Temi] No, this is a disaster. - [Bimpe] it can swallow people up.
[in Pidgin] Where is Dare?
Bimpe!
Take it then.
Go in, finish it. I getting another one.
[in Pidgin] You won't change.
[Bimpe screams]
I'm so , so sorry, okay?
[Nadine] No, no, no. Don't say anything. Just rest your voice okay?
[Nadine] What caused this though?
[Temi] I think it's all this, allorgry.
Allorgry reactions.
It's okay.
[Nadine] I just have to go now.
I can't stay out very late, my parents wouldn't let me.
But I'm just so glad that I finally got to meet you.
Yay!
I hope you don't see me as some shallow, uppity chick though?
[Nadine] No? Yay!
I really wanted to meet you before my mummy's birthday party,
without all the relatives, the rowdiness and…
What?
Temi didn't tell you? Temi!
You didn't tell her?
- I was going to told her. - What!
- [Temi] I was going to told-ed her? - [Dare] Ah!
It's fine. My mummy is having her birthday celebration at the Lifestyle18,
and I'd love for you to be there.
Will you come?
Well, I just believe that, in the morning we'll know.
Let's just wait till the morning.
Morning is the decider. Let morning come.
[whispers] Bimpe!
Bimpe!
Look, the thing has gone.
- It has gone. - Great!
But, my hand smells funny.
Got to go. See you later.
I am telling you, dealing with the mongrel is the bane of my existence.
Can you believe that the last one had the temerity to actually talk back?
I mean she talked back. Anyway,
Steve calmed the situation, as per usual, after which I promptly fired her.
Was it really necessary to fire her?
Absolutely. What are you talking about? The runt was rude. To me.
So have you found a new house maid?
Going through the process, checking names, vetting, it's so tedious but…
[shouts in excitement]
- My baby! - Look who just walked in.
- [Nadine] Happy birthday! - Thank you.
- I got this for you. - Thanks, darling. Thanks, baby.
- Hi Daddy! - How are you?
- [Nadine] How was your flight? - Ohh, It was fine. It was fine.
Come over here, come over here. Save some of that sugar for your favourite auntie.
Hi, Auntie.
My darling Nadine, I mean just look at you.
Looking like a million bucks.
How are you, Auntie? How was your flight?
Oh, dreadful. Absolutely dreadful.
I mean, even in first class. What is this country coming to? But, hey.
Your mama tells me that, that hot shot boyfriend of yours
just might be making an appearance at her party tonight.
Hopefully, Auntie.
Well, you can talk to mummy and daddy later. Right now… No, no, no,
you're going to give me all the juicy details.
Is he tall? Dark? Handsome?
Tell me he's rich.
[Aunt] He has to be rich. It's very important.
‪-[sighs] ‪-[laughs]
[Aunt] Has he made partner yet? I hear he's a lawyer.
- [Nadine] Auntie, he's comfortable. - Comfortable? What's that?
- No, he hasn't made partner yet. - Not yet. No, That's not good enough.
What's his rank in the office?
- Senior Associate. - Alright, he'll get there.
- Mister Temi. - Mrs. Akpan.
[in Pidgin] Please, did you see any small bottle containing water?
A gin bottle.
Mister Temi, when did you start speaking Pidgin English?
Please, it's really urgent. Did you see any gin bottle?
[in Pidgin] I actually saw a bottle, but it did not contain water.
The content smelled like palm wine that had gone sour
so I just threw it away.
You did what?
I threw it away.
You did what?
Mister Temi, I threw it away.
[crying]
You did what?
My brother, you're welcome. So I have this new one for you.
It is new, and it won't give you any reactions.
Don't gave me another one. Just gave me the same one you have gave me before.
It seems you don't understand. This new one is freshly made,
- and I can guarantee it will work. - [groaning]
Don't worry, don't worry. Gave me the one you have gave me before.
Okay.
Sorry, it seems your problem has gotten worse.
- Is it not me that will be payed my money? - Don't be angry.
I will gave you the one I gave you before.
Who is this calling me?
[phone vibrates]
- Is this person calling me or what? - This is it. I'll give it to you.
Bro, called me back.
Low on airtime.
[Temi] If you doesn't have airtime, can't you borrow airtime?
Call you back? If I called you back let me…
Some people don't even understand what others are going through.
I'll not call you back. Never in my life, never in my mother's life.
The same one. Exactly the same one as you requested. Here it is.
The exact same one.
I hope this one will…
What? Are you doubting? You're doubting…
- I will send you some more money. - Okay.
Just take it the same way I prescribed before. Three times every day.
One capful and you'll be fine.
I gave it to you just as you wanted.
[in Yoruba] Bye!
Alright.
Bimpe!
[in Pidgin] Bimpe! Come here, I want to show you something.
I'm preparing.
It will be brief, it won't take up to five minutes.
Are you coming?
I'm coming. I'm coming.
[in Pidgin] What were you talking about?
Temi!
According to scan here,
there really isn't anything wrong with you.
How can I read this bad handwriting that's leaning to the side?
- Are you trying to insult me? - How will I know?
- [knock on door] - No, I'm not.
Yes, come in.
Look who I found in the corridor looking for her boyfriend.
[in Pidgin] Pretty lady.
[in Yoruba] Sorry, Temi.
[Bimpe in Yoruba] Sorry, my dear.
[Nadine] Sugar boo!
Are you okay?
What happened?
It was some sort of poisoning, very strange substance.
I have never seen anything like it before.
Oh, no.
[man] He will be alright. We've cleansed his system.
I'm sorry to sound so self obsessed right now but,
would you still be able to make it to the party?
- Hold on, wait. You're throwing a party? - [Nadine] Yes!
For my mummy. It's just a small gathering.
- And I wasn't invited? - [Temi coughs]
He definitely has to stay home all night today.
But I feel a little stronger now.
Well, if you are strong then you…
No! He definitely has to stay home tonight.
[upbeat music playing]
‪[indistinct chatter]
[Nadine] Yeah, I mean, his speech is all messed up right now.
But he will be fine. I mean in a couple of… Hey Tata!
As I was saying, in a couple of days he will be fine so I just… Excuse me.
It's just… rare sickness.
You should totally google him. Phineas Gage.
I will, I will.
He's crazy, man. The mind, the body.
Me… lawyer…big firm.
You know, business all the time. Everything big.
[woman] Not only do you sound crazy, you look mad.
[Aunty] Excuse me. What did I say wrong?
that you would talk to me like that?
- Why are you being disrespectful? - You are in a civilized environment.
Can't someone be courteous to you at a party?
- Bimpe! Bimpe! - Please. Bro, stop it.
[Bimpe] Excuse me!
Not only do you look crazy… Is she a relative of yours?
- Don't make me say something I'll regret. - Security!
Do you even know who I am, talking to me like I'm a child?
Nobody cares, you can say whatever you want.
You're being childish.
- Temi, can you imagine what she's saying? - It's enough.
Not only do you sound crazy, you look crazy too.
Really?
- [Aunt] Yes! - Just because you're rich?
Who doesn't have their own money? My dress is enough to purchase three of your dress.
You sound mad. You sound stark raving mad.
[Bimpe] What sort of speech is that?
[Bimpe] Can you imagine what she's saying?
Cheers!
Temi, I respected her because of you.
If it wasn't for your sake, I would show her what I'm made of.
Bimpe!
[in Yoruba] I haven't seen that kind of person before.
How could you do that?
Temi, you cannot defender your sister.
Bimpe! Bimpe!
You need to talk to Nadine. The way her family treat people.
[in Pidgin] Why are you acting this way? I said that's enough. That's enough.
But can't you see the woman was mocking me?
Look how she made fun of me.
Why she will not laugh at you? Why she will not making a fun of you?
All you had to do is comport yourself properly. You can't comport yourself.
You see the caliber of people in there and
you are doing like local woman. Doing like bush person.
- Bimpe, you disappointing me. - Give me your car key.
Bimpe, you embarrass me.
Temi, please give me your car key.
- Acting like an uncivilized woman. - I said give me your car key.
[in Yoruba] This coming out of your mouth!?
You can have it!
I don't even want it. I'll find my own way home.
Temi!
You've embarrassed me. Disgraced me.
Saying "You don't even want it."
[in Pidgin] They say Warri indigenes come out on top.
That's because they haven't run against Kenyans.
[in Yoruba] I'll knock them dead.
They will be blown away at the show tonight.
They will feel my presence.
- [Temi in Pidgin] Dare, how are you? - How are you?
Hey, I'm almost ready. Are you going to come to my show?
What does that mean?
- So you don't want to come then, right? - Where's Bimpe?
[Dare in Pidgin] I assumed you both returned together.
Ladies and Gentlemen. Give it up for…
Dare! [people cheering]
Thank you very much everybody. [in Pidgin] How are you all doing?
- [Dare] How are you all doing? - [audience] Yeah.
- [Dare] Are you all doing great? - [audience] Yeah.
Just look at this guy's smile. Is that your girlfriend?
Is she your girlfriend. You're not sure yet?
This guy is a player.
You're one of those guys who won't come with a lady and then goes home with one.
Even the lady is smiling as well.
[Dare] You like him, right?
You like black boys. Black skin boy!
Hey, man!
[in Pidgin] This is who I told you about. Have a seat. Take my chair.
‪-[man] Bro, how's it going? ‪-Wow.
- Good evening, sir. - Good evening.
How are you?
Hold on, hold on, hold on. It seems..
your phonetics have went.
Indeed it has went.
- I just discovered it so. It was this-- - Bro, please stop.
It has gone, not it has went. Stop.
Can you hear him? I told you he's smart.
- You will indeed go to school. - By God's grace.
Wait a moment.
[in Pidgin] How did you catch that man?
Because me, myself and I. I have chased him.
I chased that man and I didn't caught him.
- [sneezing] Blunder! - Okay.
I just went to sleep and woke up…
Actually,
after our conversation, I begin to have some strange feeling.
It felt like, how do they say it, my conscience was…
…was devastated.
Yes, devastated.
Then I woke up in the morning.
And I called Junior and took him to register for the JAMB exam
since he says he wants to go to school,
so he should go to school to pursue his dream.
Maybe that's what reversed the curse.
After I went to sleep and woke up, I was myself again.
Now, I'm myself again.
Wow!
[Temi muses]
Is good.
[in Pidgin] But, it could be better.
No, no. Is good.
[Eve] Thank you, sir.
Eve!
[in Pidgin] I called just Eve. Are you all Eve? Please, Eve!
- Let's go. - Sit down.
The way I treating you
is badly, is rudely.
And…
unacceptabably.
Part of my job is to training you, supporting you.
It's not mean that I do bad bad anyhow.
For this, I say, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Sir, it's not a problem.
I'm grateful for your mentorship, and I appreciate everything that you do.
Thank you, sir.
I know, I know I sound like
like I have craze.
No, not at all.
[in Pidgin] Temi, look, these things happen in life. Really.
[in Pidgin] I've seen this kind of thing happen before.
Really.
The firm I worked at before this.
There was a guy, James.
It happened to a guy called James. No jokes.
The only difference is that James woke up one morning and realized that
he couldn't tell a lie anymore.
Anything he says must be the truth. No matter what, he could only say the truth.
Ha! For lawyer?
Can you imagine that? A lawyer who cannot tell lies. He's done for.
So relax.
Pere, I know I have been a annoyance to you.
But I need your help. Help me.
You know what, just for the purpose of this presentation. I will help you.
So just tell me this idea you have.
I will information you. Oh!
I will updated you. Ah!
Thank you!

[in Pidgin] Bimpe, you're too easily angered.
Please spare me.
‪[silent imitation of an arrogant stance]
Considering the way you treated me?
The business plan.
[in Pidgin] Take it like you're receiving something important.
Please, give it to me.
- You've damaged it. - You caused it to come off.
Thank you very much, Temi.
[in Pidgin] But, I don't need it anymore.
I changed my mind.
I don't want to apply for the grant anymore.
I'm just joking with you. You're not taking it back.
Thank you very much, Temi. I really appreciate this.
But, I'm leaving in the next two days.
I'm also planning to go to Ibadan with Nadine
to see mama.
- When? - Weekend,
but we haven't decided on the time yet.
No problem.
- [hailing] Bimpe! - Oh, please.
You're living large. Spending my money.
What money? Please!
The value of a books cannot be overstatement.
From children to adults, a books is a major in education.
Exactly.
Even as technology has become so dominant in our lives, it is important to remember
that literacy remains at the heart of development and productivity.
Yes!
You see, this merger.
This is not your normal, common merger. No!
This is not a smelling merger. This is not an idiot merger.
The three of our companies coming together to did this,
is not for did-ing sake.
This merger is a reflection of the richness of our multicultural present,
and it's also a very good vision
of what a more integrated future will look like.
Yeah! Everywhere you are look now, you'll notice that
more and more people are use education.
For those that go to school and those that doesn't go to school.
This is actually true.
From social media, to artisanship to, entrepreneurship,
literacy is the driving force of practically
everything that's going on in our world today.
Basically, what we are saying is that we will be providing content
which will cater to everyone across board.
From the undergraduate to the professor, from the young entrepreneur to the CEO--
Even the market women!
The hair dressers!
The tricycle riders, including the young men at the sports betting shops.
Yes, indeed.
Adeyemi, Fly Whisk and Ikenna will provide content
that will enable these businesses and individuals to achieve their goals.
Content of value, value.
This merger will cut across geographical zones.
It will cut across educational gaps, and it will open us to
a brand new market that is wider and also place us strategically
in a position where we can meet their needs
- perfectly. - That's it! That's just it.
Very innovative way of presenting the angle of the African rural experience.
I wonder what your guys are going to think about
