I've heard your pitch, Captain.
Why should I trust a criminal to make my money legit?
I have evaluated all the games
and I am willing to undertake the risk.
[snaps fingers]
Wash this… and prove to me you can handle more.

-Hottie… -Wow!
[footsteps approaching] [sewing machine whirring]
[in Pidgin] First lady. Are you still sewing?
Yes, I am still sewing.
[scoffs] Captain has been looking for you and he has sent for you.
What's wrong?
[in English] [sighs] What does he want?
[In Pidgin] The usual.
You know as the first lady, Captain only brings the rich men to you.
You should know this already. [chuckles]
[music playing]
Can I try the pants as well?
Please, don't touch my pants.
Prostitutes don't try pants.
-Are you sure you're okay? -Don't touch my pant.

This is not a time to be a fish in water.
[Asari lady] Captain, I'm not in the mood.
This is one of the last times you'll have to ever be in the mood.
-You say that every time. -Look, this time it's different.
Look at that one over there.
He is a ticket to everything we have been looking for, especially expansion.
-Okay? -[Asari chuckles]
We?
We? Now Captain you are talking about me as if I'm a real human being
with my own wants and my own needs.
But you know you are my favourite.
You are my empress.
I'm your slave.
[Captain] Look.
He does not want all these cheap whores that I'm offering him.
-He wants to chill with the big fish. -[Asari tuts]
Go there and do your magic.
Asari.
Attack!
‎[club music continues playing]
Much better.
Now, you don't look like an undertaker.

Come on.
Come here.

When the time is right, I will put a bullet in his brain

[car door opens] Thank you sir.
[car door shuts] Hello.
-Welcome ma. -[Asari] Thank you.
-I didn't expect you to arrive this early. -[Asari giggles]
[in English] Uhm… the road was free.
Oh, that's fine.
-Please, I'm coming. -I'm happy you arrived early.
Here's the key, hold it. That's the key to the house.
I know the house looks funny but I
assure you that it is the best house in town.
-Number one. -[Asari] Thank you.
There is none as solid as this house.
You might just need to do a bit of
renovation and once you're done, you will love it.
-In fact, I just want to hug you. -[in English] It will do, it will just do.

How many of you are ready for battle?
[Church member exclaims] I'm ready.
You have forgotten… [chuckles]
It seems you have forgotten what the Bible says.
-[woman in crowd] No Pastor -In Matthew 11:12.
When it says that from the days of John the Baptist,
the kingdom of God suffereth much violence and the violent man taketh it by…
-[congregation] Force! -[Pastor] Now, we are going to start.
You will pray that every act or plan of the enemy

[Sade] We would have no choice but to expel her from the choir.
Come on Sade, that's a bit extreme.
Shall we continue in sin?
She is under suspension already.
[Sade] She's pregnant Mide, pregnant!
There's a level of sin that we permit in our flock.
[plates clanking]
I'll get a rag.
Get a mop too while you're at it.
-[Sade] Mide? -[Mide sighs]

Tobi.
-[Tobi laughs] -[woman] Shhh!
[woman] If Segun wakes up now, he will just go straight to my pot.
-[Tobi] Ah, Sege the house rat. -[woman teeth kissing]
[in Yoruba] His mother's child. [laughs]
That boy, other children have one stomach
But he has five.
-It's not funny. -[Tobi laughs]
Of all the days to drink, it is Sunday.
You don't have the fear of God.
-I'm just keeping the Sabbath day holy. -Just lie down.
-Holy… -Leave me alone!
Holy Sabbath… hmm?
She's even smiling. [kissing]
-[Tobi] She is interested. -Lie down.

[Tobi] Pull off your clothes, let's make love.

[Sade] I think we should stick to what we know for the fundraiser.
You know like our local dishes… make people comfortable.
Not that bean-pudding looking cake from previous years.
[in Yoruba] Ah! Oh God.
[in English] Thank goodness for local herbs.
I made that cake with the last margarine in my house.
Yeah, well wisdom is profitable to direct.
I mean what will be the point if the entire
congregation is purging on a saturday night?
-Church will be empty on Sunday. -Yes.
And you, what is it with all that bickering, screeching,
making noise, unnecessary noise during prayer meetings?
-What is wrong with you? -It is the spirit.
Oh please, what spirit?
Holy Ghost spirit or do we have another spirit in church?
[Sade] Just remember that our God is not an author of confusion, you hear?
-[in Yoruba] I'm sorry ma. -Okay? Now remember the canopies…
-Abeni, wait. -[Sade] The plastic chairs…
-Table covers… -Table cover, thank you very much.
-Hi. -[Sade] What is it?
-Mother. -[Sade] What?
Isn't that Simi, your daughter, speaking with Abeni?
Well, there must be a reason for the conversation.
She must have a good reason for sitting in the way of err… the scornful.
No, she is standing, standing in the way of a sinner.
I had no idea you were going to come to church today.
[in English] How are you feeling?
Alive.
Tunde, hold my hat. Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
[Sade coughs]
Good evening Deaconess.
I'm sorry to break up your little chit-chat.
Simi has to run along now, she has a busy day tomorrow.
Do understand that we have to be more careful with our daughters.
Especially in the middle of the night when
boys and girls are known to do funny things.
Do well and stop by at church on Sunday.
We will be treating the importance of remaining chaste.
You know, chaste in an evil world like ours.
-Am I, am I wrong ladies? -No…
At the end of the day, you know our war is
against the sin and not the sinner.
[ladies and Sade] Hmmm…hmmm… hmm…
‎[music playing]
‎[car hooting]
[Tobi laughs]
So, you are calling me a dog now.
-Ah… -Thomas.
Is it Thomas?
-Thomas. -[Tobi] To match?
-You are wearing a matching attire. -[man 2] This guy is a joke.
No, I'm not saying that you should not pay respect to the dead.
But after five years…
-Like! -That long?
Do you want the thing to fall off?
Let me speak to you.
[in Pidgin] If it were me and Salewa decides to die today…
-This man. -No problem.
Two weeks. I'll be sober for only two weeks.
I will sleep with another woman.
I will hold her down and erm… [laughs].
-[man 2] Tiger. -[Tobi roars]
[all laugh]
-This guy… I swear… -What?
I will do nasty things.
How will I be waiting for, for how many years? You want it to fall off?
[snaps fingers]
Take a look at that lady. Can you see what I am seeing?
Do you know that lady? I have never seen her.
-[man shocked] -This is a babe!!
Mehn, [sniffles] hold my beer.
-Will you sit down mister! -What's your problem?
-Have you any game? -Do you have as much game as I do?
-Me? The Messi of this game? -Meaning you will be merciless.
Uhm… can I some cigar in your bar?
Anything for a fine girl [barman giggles]
[in Pidgin] Okay, give me a lighter.
Hei Lighter. I don't… I don't have a lighter.
[Tobi laughs]
-Tiger. The one and only. -[Tobi roars]
-Alright, excuse us. -Tiger
-Oh you want to, you want to light. -Thank you.
-[lighter clicking] -[musical beats playing]
Thank you. [Chuckles]
Ah…ahn. [Exhales in relief]
Fine girl smoking cigarette.
[Tobi and Asari laugh]
I know every face in this bar
and I've not seen you before, you must be new.
You can come and join my friends at that table.
Why would I want to do that?
Ah, she's not deaf and dumb. [laughs]
Okay, so is it money you want?
I have plenty money. I am a rich man.
How much? How much for your services?
[in English] So it is clearly written on my forehead.
You're a fine girl and you are smoking cigarette.
If you know, you know.
[both laugh] You are very funny.
There are many men in this bar, smoking cigarette.
How much do they charge?
[chuckles nervously] But we are men, we don't
have anything that we can charge for… that we are selling.
You will be surprised.
Ehn ehn?
Look, my name is Oluwatobi Adetokunbo.
Like I said… [in Yoruba] I have money
[Tobi spits and laughs]
[in English] Ah ah, this your blood is too hot.
Bring it. Come on. [laughs]
-It's much better here. [Chuckles] -Ah…
Very safe. In fact, that's a safe haven.
We don't even know the combination to the safe.
[both laugh]
Okay, will you give me some sugar?
[exclaims in excitement] [Tobi laughs]
You know what we will do now is that we will go into the toilet.
We will just wait there for a while so that it will look as if we are…
So we can pretend for your friends, right?
[Tobi laughs] You understand.
That will cost you more.
[in Yoruba] Are you a thief?
[in English] They are looking at you.
[laughs nervously]
-They are looking… -Alright, enter there.
Okay, peck me.
If I give you a peck, you'll pay more. Just enter.
Ha, okay. Expensive.
Alright, let's go to the restroom. [laughs]
You should have someone eventually. Find somebody.
You did not tell me your name. [laughs]
Asa… Adire.
-Adire. -My name is Adire.
Beautiful lady, Adire. [laughs]
‎-[woman laughing] ‎-[indistinct chatter]
‎[dog barking]
[in Yoruba] Good morning Ma.
Good morning boss.
-Tiger! -[Tobi roars]
-Big man. -The boss!
Brother, you are being unfair to me.
Show me the way as well.
-What way is that? -Are you still asking? [chuckles]
We heard about all you did at the bar yesterday. [laughs]
You also heard?
-Who hasn't heard? The news has gone viral -[Tobi laughs]
But how did you do it?
You need to see the lady… I had the best of fun with her.
-I also want to have some of that fun. -[both excited]
What is the lady's name?
-Adire. -Adire?
Adire? Like the fabric or what exactly is it?
Adire, that lady is like water.
She was just jiggling.
You should leave this place
if you don't have anything reasonable to do.
Please attend to me.
What is wrong with you?
Attend to me.
Does your father own this place?
Ehh! T, do you know what…
Don't worry, I'll see you later.

[in Yoruba] Good day, I want to buy meat.
She is way beautiful than twenty women put together.
I want to buy one thousand Naira worth of meat.
-You mean that same lady? -[exclaims in pain]
I am dead!
-I'm bleeding. He has cut my hand off. -Don't be upset.
What happened?
I thought you cut me with your knife.
-I'm sorry but are you both crazy? -Ha!
-Are you insane? -What is it?
[insults gibberishly]
Your long necks like that of a Giraffe.
This is how they keep looking for trouble
and as you can see, I am a devout christian.
I usually don't talk.
This is how they, I have been standing here for so long,
telling you I want to buy one thousand naira worth of meat.
You then wasted my time talking about a prostitute
You want to cut my hand off
-because of a prostitute. -It shall not be well with you.
You're trailed by ancestral curses. Unfortunate beings.
-Rubbish. -Look at her
‎-Can you imagine. ‎-[exclaims]
Leave her, let her go.
-[car honks] -Ah, Ope. [Tobi laughs]
[singing playfully]
Where are you always running to these days?
Ah ah, Salewa.
Are you out of your mind?
Hmm mmm. But you will soon find out.
Tobi if alcohol is your problem, stay at home and drink.
[exclaims and laughs]
Salewa… lioness [roars].
-[laughs] -[bottle opens]
[gulping drink]
-[belch] Salewa. -[car hooting]
When I come back tonight,
[in yoruba] we will have so much fun. Lioness [roars].
Okay, I'm not going out again.
See, Just give me another bottle so that I can relax with you.
Give me another one, I'm not going out again.
Oh Salewa.
-[Salewa] Tobi! Tobi! -[Tobi laughs]
-Ope! -[car engine starts]
Go home to your wife. Reasonable men are in their
beds with their wives at this time of the night.
‎[music playing]
Salewa, why have you summoned us here tonight?
Thank you ma. Ma,
the devil has paid us a visit. The devil has visited us.
Our husbands have eventually fallen into a trap.
-[all women] Ah! -Uhm…okay, some clarity, Yewande.
It's our sister, Salewa.
She said she saw our husbands at a very bad place.
It isn't a good place ma.
She said our husbands were kissing,
dancing and rubbing a particular prostitute.
-The same prostitute that almost made -[women claiming]
the butcher at the market cut off my hand.
That's not all. They are even dashing her money.
The money they don’t even give us at home.
Mother, our children's school fees.
Okay uhm…
If this is true, then we will extend the vigil to thirty days.
One more hour just for our husbands.
[in Yoruba] Ma, may you live long.
I heard what you said, but I do not accept it.
[in English] There is time for prayer and there is time for war.
Even whenever our daddy preaches,
he says the kingdom of heaven
-[speaks gibberish] Violence, by force. -[Women] Force.
Look ma, let's apply force mummy. It is time for war.
Where does she stay?
We will all march straight there from here.
-[women] Yes! -It’s the haunted house.
[women exclaim]
Alright. Ladies, please settle down.
We cannot be afraid of man or spirits.
At the end of the day, our weapons of warfare are not carnal.
You all will march straight to that house
and you will send that woman out of our town.
[in Yoruba] Look, I don't know how to fight witches.
-She's a prostitute -It's the same thing.
Be it a prostitute or a witch, both are of the same evil company.
It's only a witch that will have courage to live in that haunted house.
Look mummy. As you know,
I am still breastfeeding a six-month-old baby.
Deaconess, will you be joining us in the march?
It is not my husband you see approaching strange women.
[falters] Or did you see Pastor Mide patronizing this woman?
I will stay here in church with Tunde and we will pray.
Someone has to stay in the gap.
It is so obvious you women want to leave your vegetables to the locust.
But not me.
Not Salewa!
Never! [Sniffles]
The only breasts Oluwatobi will suck are mine.
The haunted house or not.
[Yewande] Yes, yes, you should go.
Yes, yes, go there.
And my God, the God that I'm serving,
He will go with you. God will go with you.
-[women] Amen -See, if not…
If not that I am nursing a child at the moment,
what is the big deal in following her to that haunted house.
‎[dog barking]
‎[music playing]
‎[music continues playing]
[pot clanking]
[Salewa screaming]
And you are?
The wife of the man you are trying to rubbish.
Well, you need to be a little more specific
because there are many men who want to be ruined by me.
[In Yoruba] Prostitute!
Shame.
Well at least, I have a name.
I'm sure that's the name that he calls when he lays next to…
this…this…ugly.
Oh yes! You come into my house trying to attack me
for this ugliness that has become you.
Now I see why men like him, whoever he is,
come for women like me.
Oh yes because they don't want to be reminded of their aged mothers.
[Salewa sobs]
Sorry, I didn't mean to call you ugly.
Sorry, I didn't mean to call you ugly. Sorry.
It's just that I just get so frustrated when wives come after me.
Raging as if I'm the one who caused their husband to be chasing after me.
[Salewa continue sobs]
Argh! Sorry, I didn't mean to call you ugly.
You're beautiful. You are beautiful.
[in Yoruba] Please leave me alone.
Because the truth is bitter does not mean a man will fill his cup with lies.
[in English] I know I'm an old cargo now.
That is why Tobi wants to die inside that bar.
No, you can keep it.
Tobiloba, is that your husband?
-[Salewa mmh] -[Adire laughs] Sorry, sorry.
Is it my Tobi you are laughing at like that?
[in Yoruba] Look, ask around.
I am the daughter of a wrestler. I'll punch you.
Okay, okay. It's just that the guy is a funny fellow
and then, there is you. [Adire laughs]
It's true, Tobi can be funny.
That's beautiful.
That's very beautiful.
Alright, just wait here.
[in Yoruba] You and who?
So that you will leave me here with the ghost that is living in your house.
[laughs] What ghosts? There are no ghosts in this house.
Just wait here.
[Adire chuckles]
Madam.
This is for you.
Go on, open it.
I made those myself.
Specially, hand crafted magic bras.
You like them?
[giggles] See…
with men, the formula is ever changing.
So, you have to flow.
-One minute, -[piano playing]
a man wants afang and the next he wants some efo.
[giggles] But there is something that a man will never be able to resist.
That my darling are these two specially packaged melons.
A woman's breasts are her weapons.
[Adire claps] Good girl.
Now, when you get home, you'll allow the man to breathe.
Hmm? You'll let him breathe.
Then when he's least expecting, you pounce.
Good girl.
But there is only one rule.
Don't make the first move.
A lion always enjoys its own kill. Mmh?
[Adire chuckles] Tobi's wife.
[laughs] I like you already. Do you have a name?
Salewa.
Salewa coming into my house trying to…
-Look at you. I like you already. -[Salewa laughs]
‎[music playing]
‎[Tobi shocked]
Salewa.
[In Yoruba] Is this you?
[in English] I know. I should not have listened to that evil woman.
Ah, listen to her.
Anybody that is evil and telling you to dress like this is doing the Lord's work.
-You like it? -[excited] I don't like it.
[In Yoruba] I love it so much.
-I love it. -Baba Segun.
No, no. You cannot be calling me Baba Segun in this kind of lingerie.
[murmurs] Call me baby.
-Baby. -Lioness.

-On the needle? -No, no listen.
Adire, I just wanted to talk.
[Adire laughs] Bullshit.
‎[Thomas sighs]
[Adire chuckles] Are you joking?
No, I…
I just want companionship and not this.
[sighs] Companionship?
That's just another word for sex.
Which doesn't look like it's going to happen.
Wait.
Take your money and get out!
[Thomas] No, no, no. I want you to have this.
Please.
I… [Sighs]
I just want to be your friend.
Friend.
[Adire laughs]
All men speak the same language, hmm?
A language that I very well understand.
[in Pidgin] So, you paid for something yet
you don't want to collect what you paid for?
It means you will collect something more, that will cost me more.
Oh… [Snaps fingers]
Take your money and get out!
[Adire giggles]
[In Pidgin] Asari has suffered.
But it's not your fault.
Oh, I was there listening to all your super stories about how your wife is dead.
When I'm sure the poor woman is in the
house waiting for you at this ungodly hour.
Take your money and get out!
My wife is dead!
‎-[Adire sighs] ‎-[music playing]
How would I lie about something like that?
[Adire chuckles] Why will I know what a man chooses to lie about?
I'm really sorry that you think so little of yourself that the only
thing a man will see when he looks at you is to get into your bed.

Salewa, Salewa, amazing.
-That's me. -There she goes again.
Salewa, please what did you do to the witch at that haunted house?
Hey… that's true. Did you use that
anointing oil to send her back to hell fire?
Because the way you are shining like this…
-[in Yoruba] You are just glowing. -[in Pidgin] It is groundnut oil.
That is why I'm shining.
[in yoruba] Why are you deceiving us?
-Don't we all have groundnut oil at home? -Let's listen!
Why don't you listen?
That's enough. It's okay. Come closer.
[Salewa whispers] She gave me a bra when I got to the house.
Yewande, be patient.
Ah ah, Yewande.
Miracle bra.
-Okay, come in. -[birds chirping]
[Salewa] Wait… Yewande… Yewande…
Voila.
[Salewa] Yewande!
Wait.
-Stay here. -[In Yoruba] Calm down.
She's eager.
[Adire] Now, these may look like bras to the ordinary woman.
-[women giggling] -But for a Sisi like me.
These are weapons.
And to win this war,
-You cannot afford to play fair. -It's a goal!
‎These boys are good!
‎Prostitute! Watch the match.

-Hi. -Hi.
I didn’t see you at the bar… I didn’t have your number…
I don't live at the bar.
Sorry, I don't mean to say…
It's just that the other night I…
You wanted to talk.
And you did.
So now, what do you want?
Okay uhm… I got some suya.
Peace offering?
Give it to the dogs on your way home.
I don't deserve this.
‎[soft music playing]
I don't know what it is you think you deserve.
But frankly, I don't want to know.
Today you just want friendship.
Tomorrow you will want me to be grateful
that you took a look at the community whore.
Don't call yourself that.
Everybody already does.
‎[Thomas sighs]
‎[soft continues music playing]
Does it have tripe?
‎[Thomas sighs]
‎[jazz upbeats playing]
Adire.
How do you live in this house?
-There is a ghost in this house. -[women] Yes.
They said she walked on her hands and ate with her toes.
[women] Yes!
And she never came out in the day.
When she did, a child drowned in the river.
Yes.
And then the village now decided to drive her away.
-But they made one big mistake. -Mh!
They came in the night when she was awake instead of coming in the morning.
We still hear sounds of their bones breaking
and their voices as they scream in the night.
[Adire chuckles]
The story is true, you have to come to church with us.
-Yes! -I'm sure it is.
Adire, stop laughing.
Okay, have you ever wondered why nobody stayed here before you?
[chuckles] Why didn't anybody stay here before me?
Because bad things happen in this haunted house.
-You have to come to church. -You win battles with prayers.
She's laughing.
‎Water of life…
-[Abeni wailing] -[women In Yoruba] Abeni, just try.
-Abeni take it easy, don`t cry. -Sorry
-[Abeni wailing] -Stop crying, you are not meant to cry.
[Abeni screams]
Just try Abeni, try.
-Don't close your legs. -[Abeni screams]
It's not like she is all alone.
The women of the church they are all there praying for her, standing in the gap
Which is the more reason why you need to be there to lock hands with them.
You're the mother of the church.
This is no time for passing judgement.
Look erm…
I'm heading for the men's prayer fellowship meeting, okay?
And I will pray for you.
That you find compassion over doctrine.
‎[Mide sighs]
Abeni, you've finally done it. Congratulations.
-You are very strong. -[woman praises]
[in Yoruba] We're grateful for safe delivery.
Just now.
She was crying but we can all see the result.
Simisola, Yewande, Salewa.
-How is she? -Congratulations.
-Boy or girl? -He's a bouncing baby boy.
I think she's trying to say something.
She's bound to be tired, fan her.
-Abeni. -What's going on?
-Just relax. -They'll bring your child.
-In Jesus name. -Amen. Ha…
-She's closing her eyes. -Nurse!!
-In Jesus' name we pray. -Abeni!
[in Yoruba] Abeni has put me in trouble.
Abeni please open your eyes and take a look at your child.
Abeni, open your eyes to see your child.
Abeni has put me in trouble.
Abeni has killed me!
-Mama, stay calm. It's alright. -[mother crying]
-Abeni! Abeni! -[women crying]

Get my black dress from her.
The church has a funeral to prepare for.
‎[music playing]
[door squeaks open]
-Regards to your mum. -I will, thank you ma.
-Simi. -Leave me alone.
What's wrong with you? You've been avoiding me.
We still have to talk about this.
I'm not keeping it.
But that's not your decision alone to make.
It is my body, my life, my decision.
It is my child and if you're going to kill it,
I deserve a chance to say yes.
-So, say yes. -Shhh!
I'm doing us a favour here.
If we decide to keep this child, our lives will be over.
Simi, you can't say that, you don't know that.
My mother will have my head on a spike and watch me bleed.
So, this is about your mother, right?
Abeni died.
She died right there in my arms.
I keep wondering if she would still be alive if she had just taken it out.
Simi, this could kill you.
But either ways, I'm dead.
‎[birds chirping]
[Mide] Mysterious are the ways of the Lord.
To say that we would lose one of our own,
On the very day that we were blessed with new life,
is indeed a pill too hard to swallow.
‎[music playing]
‎[violin playing]
If there is one lesson that this has taught me
it is that we should hold on to our own.
Whether in good,
or in bad.
We need to love.
She's the one they call Adire.
The devil’s helpmeet.
[Mide] We need to love as the Lord has loved us.
Because no one knows the day.

rest in peace.

[Thomas] I've known Abeni since she was a baby.
[Asari] Your wife,
How did she die?
-You don't have to answer that. -Nah
That's okay.
‎[piano music playing]
I did all I could to help but…
[sighs] Teni's bipolar worsened.
Right after Gbemisola's birth,
she just stopped taking her medication and…
trusted God for her healing [sighs]
We moved from one prayer house to the next.
And then…
…she stepped into a speeding car.
I'm… oh my God. I'm so sorry, Thomas.
It's okay. I mean, I… I still miss her everyday.
Okay uhm… enough of me so your turn.
-Me? [Adire chuckles nervously] -Yeah, just tell me, I mean…
What about this woman Adire?
Mystery is good for interest.
-Don't worry about me. -[Thomas laughs]
Can I take you home?
Yes.
-Uhm… but first I need to return this. -Okay.
Oh.
Thank you for this.
[Chuckles] Keep it, dear. Here you go.
The Lord knows that you need more clothing,
just cover up. Okay?
I did not know that there was a loss.
So please extend my sincere sympathies to the bereaved.
Now, you listen to me.
You may have fooled all the women around here but not me.
I can see clearly through your sheep's clothing enough to know
that once upon a time,
-the devil was clothed in light. -[intense music ]
Ladies…
-Calm down. -Just ignore her.
Don't say anything.
‎[Sade] I mean it's just a… ‎no offence but she don't fool me
White? Oh please.
Maybe she just wanted to make a good first impression.
Mide, call a spade a spade.
Jesus. Sade, let it rest.
Do not use the name of the Lord in vain. Mmh
Fine.
So, what do I call a man who just wants to sleep with his wife?

So, a preacher and a farmer.
He's very gracious. Thank you, hmm?
Come, come, come.
Have we met before?
We've probably just crossed paths in church.
‎[Asari denies]
Before then.
You are that girl that was crying, on the road by the bar.
In the arms of that boy.
You must be mistaken ma.
No, I never forget a face. You were crying in the arms of a boy.
Deji is just my friend.
How far gone are you?
‎-[piano music playing] ‎-[birds chirping]
Please, you can't tell my mum.
But you have to tell somebody.
All my life, they've managed to raise me to be this perfect daughter.
With no mistakes and no flaws.
Everyone in life is flawed.
Definitely not my mother.
That in itself is a big flaw.
Maybe God is just trying to punish me.
‎No!
I don't think that's the case.
I don't expect you to understand.
I mean look at you, you're free like a bird and I on the other hand, I'm stuck.
[giggles] Free?
I wasn't always free.
It was not always like this.
I just got to a point in my life where
I decided to just change everything.
And take a new direction.
To change my life and to start over.
You my darling, you're the one who is free.
You are young.
And just because you went down a wrong path
does not mean that you should continue in that path [sniffs].
You have all the time,
To change your life and to make a decision for a brighter future.
And whatever it is you want to do,
I will support you.
Come on, I will always be here whatever it is you need, hmm?
[Simi sobs]
It's alright, hmm?
Good.
It's alright.
‎[music playing]
I've changed my mind.
‎[music playing]
How will I do this thing, ehn?
-Salewa, stop crying. -Look at me.
Where will this one stay?
My five children are already jampacked in our parlour.
What if you're wrong, what if it's malaria?
-Hmm mmh. It's not malaria. -[Asari] It's not malaria?
Because this my left eye, it has been twitching.
It has been twitching and whenever my left eye twitches like this, it's pregnancy.
[Asari laughs] Stop.
-What's funny? -Sorry.
Is it not you? It's your miracle bra that caused all these.
Wait, don't you and Tobi do family planning?
I've heard of it but I don't know what that is.
Leave me alone. I don't know.
And then people now will say that I'm a witch.
They will say that I'm a witch.
Because I'm supposed to… I'm supposed to be happy.
You know they say a child is a blessing
and I'm supposed to be grateful to God for another miracle.
[sniffs] But to be very honest Adire, I'm sad.
-I'm very very sad. -Salewa…
It feels like I have just wasted my entire life.
Don't you ever talk like that.
[in Yoruba] Adire, don't patronize me.
My mates were busy going to school and learning a handiwork.
I was just there, giving birth and popping the children out like that.
Now it just feel like I don't have any other thing
to offer but just to be giving birth.
Salewa.
There must be something else you've always wanted to do.
Something, something that you like to do.
-Cake, I like baking. -Then bake.
No, Tobi will say that I'm wasting his kerosene.
And the last time I baked, Folasade said my cake looked like bean pudding.
Nonsense… nonsense. You want to bake, right?
Salewa, you want to bake. I'm coming.
Bake, right? You want to bake. [giggles]
Somebody said your cake is like bean puddling and you are listening.
It is your life, my darling.
Look, my oven in this house is not working.
This pot, you will fill it with sand and you will bake.
I say you will do what? You will bake.
Me and you now will get up and go to the market
and buy everything you will need for baking.
Salewa, [chuckles] you want to bake.
There's always a way.
We'll bake with this one?
Yes, there's always a way.
Adire, you are the only friend I have right now.
You're the only friend because since you came [sniffs]
into my life, you have been pushing me forward.
Salewa.
[Salewa] And this one that my two eyes are twitching like this,
I feel it is twins I am going to have.
It is malaria.
Take it easy ma.
‎-Our mummy ‎-Ah ha
You came with your handbag to the women's fellowship.
Tunde, Mummy's hand bag.
-Peace be unto you all. -And unto you too.
-Ah… Adire. Come, come. -[women excited]
Hello everybody.
[Salewa chuckles]
-[Sade clears throat] -[indistinct chatter]
‎Sorry
-See your hair, so handsome. -[Adire laughs] Thank you.
Good afternoon.
That's enough.
Let's do why we're here, do you understand?
-Praise the living Jesus. -[women] Hallelujah.
You had to invite her?
-She's my friend. -Since when exactly?
This is my house. I can invite whoever I want to invite.
No. Drop that this minute and listen to me.
Salewa. When two or three are gathered, hmm?
Come on, this is church.
Our fellowship.
That you have never attended before
because this place does not suit the comfort that you are used to?
I grew up with you Folasade and you still look down on me.
Oh, come off it. Out of my way.
-Ephesians, the book of Ephesians. -[Woman] Ehn?
-Chapter three. -[clears throat]
[Sade sighs and clears throat]
I think we have all had enough of that particular scripture.
As to be very submissive to our husbands by now.
Everyone, open your bibles.
To Matthew thirteen…
Verses twenty four to thirty.
And I read.
"The kingdom of heaven is like…
…is like a man who sowed good seed in his field."
"But while men slept,
his enemy came and sowed tares amongst the wheat.
And then went his way."
May the Lord bless this reading.
[All] Amen.
Ladies.
We cannot be ignorant of the devices of the devil.
Shall we continue in sin for grace to abound?
You think the Lord is blind.
That all you do in darkness will not be brought to light, hmm?
So, you continue to frolic with Jezebel's twin.
Daughters of Eve. Descendants of Delilah.
-Vashti’s reincarnate. -Thank you very much for inviting me.
-Adire. -See, I said it.
Sinners will run away when no one pursueth.
[sighs] Who are you?
Excuse me?
Deaconess, are you God?
Salewa.
How…
How dare you speak to me,
your spiritual mother, in this manner?
You have not answered my question.
Who are you?
Because you act as if Jesus borrowed your biro
to write her name in the book of death.
[in Yoruba] When you're not Jesus' PA.
I repeat.
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.
For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness?
And what communion has light to do with darkness?
Finally Salewa, there is only one book.
And that is the book of life.
Judge not.
So that you may not be judged.
Because the way you are judging people, they will judge you like that too.
That woman has poisoned your mind, all of you.
Now you're trading your faith for ordinary brassieres.
-[All] ah… -Miracle bra.
[In Yoruba] Take a look at me.
Segun's mum, take a look at me.
Mummy, the brassiere you are talking about is not ordinary.
What this brassiere is doing in my life cannot be explained.
Even if one goes to the mountain for three days,
it cannot do what the brassiere is doing.
Everybody has their testimonies.
Oh, enough of this nonsense.
Abeni was pregnant.
We all judged her.
Because of what? Pregnancy.
-Is pregnancy a sin? -[all] No.
-Are children not the heritage of God? -[all] They are.
A young girl needed our help.
You and all of us here kept her on the back bench like a watchman.
And it's not like most of us here got married as virgins.
-And now, it's Adire? -[music playing]
You'll have to write your Bible, Deaconess, write it!
Because this is not the love that they teach us in Sunday school.
‎Yes!
As a matter of fact, the Bible study is over.
[in Yoruba] We are done!
I shall have nothing to do with this nonsense, no way.
-I will not be here and be insulted. -[All] Handbag, get up!
-For the love of Jesus Christ. -[women all talking ]
-[Yewande] Follow your mummy, handbag! -[woman] Go with her.
-[indistinct chatter] -I had to say something!
‎Yes!
It's okay.
[Car door shuts]
So, I am now the devil for fighting for the kingdom.
Don't say that Deaconess.
-Even Christ was persecuted. -[scoffs]
That woman has bewitched them.
They act as if they are in their right senses, but they are not.
They don't know exactly what it is that they are doing.
[sobs] You know we always talk about God and how kind and merciful He is.
Yet boldly and unafraid, we dance around with sin.
Forgetting that this same God is a consuming fire.
[deaconess breathes heavily]
[engine starts]
[Sade] Every quarter of the year, we as women of the church,
we come together to do something for our community.
But this year, it will not be business as usual.
As everything we raise
will go to the family of our dearly beloved Abeni.
Who tragically passed away.
May we stand and give a minute of silence to Abeni.
‎[music playing]
-May her gentle soul rest in peace. -[all] Amen.
Now ladies,
I need us to dip our hands into our pockets, [laughs] let us do the needful.
As the fundraiser is officially open.
[women cheering]
[Adire] Before people start coming to buy, will I open it or close it?
Morenike, well done. You made fried stew and cow skin.
Oh wow, well done. Very, very tempting.
-Welcome ma. -Well done madam.
Oh see cold, chilled drinks. You do well.
-Well done, ehn? -Thank you.
Aunty Buns-Buns, see competition.
Well done. Oh wow, good… good selection.
[Laughs mockingly] Salewa.
You baked again?
Deaconess, I baked.
-You should try some -Oh no, no, no.
-Just eat the cake. Eat the cake. -No thank you. I--
It's sweet, yummy.
Hmm. What can I say?
Not bad.
You see?
[Sade] I guess I can manage it.
-Pounded yam and vegetables. -Yewande choke please.
Oh wow.
Look who we have here.
You're covered up today.
Well, I won't take all the credit for the modesty.
The women, you know, styled me.
-Is that so? -Yes, it is.
A little community is good afterall.
Speaking about community… come on…
Speaking about community,
I was wondering how your invite was lost on me.
There is a motherless child.
Every single penny raised here will go a long way.
Hmm, I do agree. The only problem here is this
outreach is reserved specially for women of the church.
But you put out an open invitation for volunteers.
And the last I checked, it takes a vagina to be a woman.
It goes beyond biology dear.
Afterall, men are now paying for body parts.
In this community, virtue… virtue is what defines a woman.
Do you know anything about virtue to a Christian woman?
No, life must have skipped me out on the Sunday school.
I'm going to cut to the chase with you.
-A prostitute would never -[all gasps]
understand the concept of virtue.
Or isn't that what you are?
Are you not a prostitute?
Prostitute.
It's funny how you use that word loosely
on somebody you rarely even know.
You gather stones and then you tear people down.
Just to hide the truth that you will never be chosen.
[women mockingly clear throats]
Not by the church or by these women that you desperately hold on to.
To give your life some form of control, hmm?
-Deaconess, not even your daughter. -[women mockingly clear throats]
So please, get over yourself, deaconess.
The Lord resists the proud and he gives grace to the humble.
[women hum in agreement]
So now if you will excuse me,
my beans is getting cold.
Exactly. Beans is available.
-Is it hot? -[woman7] Very hot.
Beans is available.
It's very hot and delicious.
Buy your beans, come and buy your beans…
[Mide] I still don’t see the sin in her being a little enterprising.
Enterprising, seriously?
-Bras Mide, brassiere! -So what?
A little leaven or have you forgotten your Bible?
Sade?
Are you really going to judge someone you don't even know?
You, that you're talking, do you know her, huh?
Isn't it a little odd that a strange woman appears in this town
and suddenly starts to claw her way into the church?
Well, that's one way of looking at it.
No one would listen to me. No, absolutely no one listens to me.
Not until a young girl loses her life because we
decided to be lenient with sin.
Did you really have to go there?
It is my church!
What are you telling me?
It is my community.
I will not apologize for trying to keep it safe.
-Your church? -Yes!
Come on Mide.
You and I know that my father willed this church to you
because I was not the boy-child he desperately wanted.
-I did everything to please him. -[sober music]
[sobbing] I did everything right.
[in Yoruba] Was it an education? I got.
Bible? I understand. I have a better knowledge of it than you.
I got an education when all of my mates were having babies.
I read the Bible from Genesis to Revelations.
Asides from some chapters in Songs of Solomon.
But that man, that old man still chose you.
I was actually going to say God's church.
But since you went there.
Before he passed on, we… we had a talk.
And he said…
My daughter, Sade…
…she has the fire.
But what we need, what we really need
is heart.

‎[Asari screams]
‎[music playing]
‎-Oh is she the one? ‎-Yes
‎[music playing]
[Adire exclaims]
Sit… sit.
So, you steal all that money from me
and you still choose this dump.
Captain.
In the flesh.
You know I never really believed in all that hocus pocus of religion.
But you know one story that I really like in the Bible.
It's the story of a little boy.
So little boy leaves home, little boy gets lost.
Little boy realizes that home is where he belonged all the while.
Asari, you belong to me.
No.
-I am your home. -No.
How can you steal from me?
How can I steal what I worked for?
I saved you.
-You slaughtered me. -I took you away from the streets.
Only for you to bring me right back to it.
What were you expecting?
That money… that money is my payback.
So, just consider us equal. Captain please go.
‎[music playing]
‎[Captain teeth kissing]
Asari.
You owe me.
And I always collect what I'm owed.
‎[music playing]
Captain.
[yells in pain]
‎[music playing]
[Adire grunts]
Get up.
It's time to pay up.
‎[dramatic music playing]
You know you did not even wonder how I found you.
Let me guess, runners will always leave a trace.
More like what will be will be.
Strap up.
We're expecting company.
‎[music playing]
Here she comes, my canary.
‎[music playing]
I believe we have already met.
But I did not come all the way to Old Oyo to hear her sing.
The last time we met,
you said you needed an avenue to…
…move your products, clean your money.
And you did not deliver.
Not this time.
Beautiful, hand crafted bras.
-Bras? -Yes.
No security will dare search a woman's breast.
So, we take the products and we sew them into the bras.
To move them.
Then we sell the bras to clean the money.
One stone, two birds.
That sounds interesting.
That's creative.
The last time we met,
your canary whistled, I looked like an undertaker.
Fail me again, and she will be singing the dirge at your funeral.

Yes, Captain.

Just like old times.
Captain, why are we here?
Showing these people a glimpse of what is to come.
These people are good people.
That is what everybody likes to think of themselves.
Captain, it's me you need. So just take me and let's go.
You know you uhm.. showed me the light.
I'm only walking in it.
Asari, get your head in the game.
This whole gig of Adire is over.

[Thomas] Adire, what's going on?
Keep your man friend on a leash.
I'm not a dog.
Adire?
[in Pidgin] Leave here mister.
[in English] Adire, it's me. Adire, what's going on, what's happening?
Adire?
Can you say something?
There is nothing to talk about.
-Okay, can we at least talk? -Thomas! Thomas!
Thomas, I said you should go!
Thomas, your wife is dead. Your wife is dead.
You cannot get to love her through me. So, just go!

What? What is it? Calm down, where are you going?
I warned you about that Adire woman.
I saw the trouble she would bring into this town but no one cared to listen.
This one is on you.
On me?
When was the last time you heard gunshots on our streets? Huh?
Any form of trouble in this community.
You can't remember because my father kept the peace.
He kept things in check.
Not standing around moping, too scared of not being liked.
I had a handle on things before Adire came into this town.
The church, the women, decency, morality for crying out loud.
It hurts you to admit that I am right for once.
Just back me up.
-Back you up? -[music continue playing]
Back you up? Half the church hates you.
And the other half are terrified of you.
Look, Adire is the least of your problems.
She is a dye-in-the-wool sinner.
Oh, and what kind is that?
The worst kind of it.
Well, I guess you only see what you want to see.
At least, I can see.
Wait… are you doubting my calling?
I was not there when you were called.
Well since you’re so perfect, why don’t you take over the church then.
Then maybe I will.
I'm pregnant!
‎[Sade slaps]
‎Sade
Sade, calm down.
‎[dramatic music playing]
Sade… Sade, what are you doing?
Remove your pant and follow me.

[Sade and Simi crying]
‎[music intensifies]
Does the father know?
Yes.
How many months?
Two.
[Mide exhales]
Simi.
It was only once, I'm sorry.
That's usually all it takes.
‎[Simi sniffs]
You will have to begin to take antenatal.
And when the child is born, we'll take care of it.
But in return, you must finish school.
Now, you know your mother's rage.
Please, I beg you.
Do not allow me to show you mine.
One more mistake and you're out.
[Simi sniffs] I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
[Simi sobs]
I'm sorry. [sobs]
[Sade] Tunde.
[Sade sobs]
Deaconess, are you okay?
Deaconess, where are you? Should I come over?
What's going on?
[deaconess] Is the Lord now silent, Tunde?
[sobs] Now silent that he chooses to afflict us so.
First, it was that woman, Adire.
And now Simi. [crying]
-No, Deaconess. -[Sade sobs]
Our God is not silent.
Our God is a consuming fire.

My God is a consuming fire.

-Ah, Tunde… -[women exclaiming]
-[In Yoruba] Tunde, you are wicked. -In the name of God!
‎-[crowd exclaiming] ‎-[Tunde panting]
You blame me too?
No.
Your conscience has already received enough beating today.
I just can't believe that Tunde would go that far to hurt Adire.
I…
-I did not mean for all this to happen. -I know, I know. Come here, I know.
I know, it's okay.
-It's okay. -[Sade cries]
It's okay
It's okay.

Should I come hit the door?
-She might not hear. -Be patient.

-[indistinct pleasantries] -Good afternoon sir
[women] Adire…
-[Asari] What is going on? -[women giggle with joy]
If you don't mind, I invited some of the ladies.
-[women cheer] -Don't cry
[women chuckle]
-[women cheer excitedly] -[Asari] Thank you
Thank you.
[Mide] So, in that spirit of thanksgiving and love.
Please,
join me as we welcome
our dear, dear sister,
-[laughs] Sister Adire! -[Congregation cheer]
Welcome her with Jesus' love.
Come on, you can do better than that.
Put your hands together for Jesus.
Because the Bible says, heaven rejoices when
one soul returns to the Lord. Hallelujah.
God bless you, God bless you! [laughs]
