Hey, y'all!
- Where is the new car? - Here you go.
This is it?
- Congratulations. - This is it!
- Beige on cream like… - Yeah!
What?!
Hot!
- This is cool. - Oh my goodness!
This is so cool.
- Your car is everything. Yes! - You remember the color?
- Beige. This is everything. - So,
- you mean your husband gifted you a car? - Yeah.
- When it's not even your birthday? - That's what it is.
My name is Lydia Cole,
wife of Alex Cole.
Now, if you are looking for a person, rather,
a definition of God's favor on a person…
look no further.
Wow.
Honey, so when did you get back from Dubai?
Where you said your husband spoilt you silly.
- Mad fun. Mad fun! - I can imagine!
When we thought we'd seen it all, but this shows up.
Exactly!
- That was only the tip of the iceberg. - Exactly.
This is the main deal.
- There you go. - I'm telling you.
- This is massive! - Oh, thanks!
This is what you call a husband.
You know, being thoughtful about the needs of your woman.
You know, just pamper her, just right and left.
But no.
This is not my husband.
Really?
Babe, not again now.
Not again what in Allah's name? What do you want?
You know what I want.
- You know what I want. - Really, babe.
- Come on. This thing is not food. - It's food. It's food.
Gbi gbi gbi since last night. Come on.
See, that gbi gbi gbi is what I want.
Eh? Please. Babe, I hardly see you.
Like I see you in, what, once in two weeks.
I'm not made out of clay, babe.
Fine. Then you have to kill me.
Honestly, because I don't see how I'll be in the office and work so hard
every flipping day and come home to face another work.
In my own house.
No way. This thing is not fair.
That is what he says all the time.
Like, you know, he really thinks life is all about making money.
Like…
And then he…
he gets back from work…
and asks for a massage.
This way, please.
Come on up, here. Yeah.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Both hands, both hands. Thanks.
Really, I don't have the time for this.
I don't have the time for all of that.
- Thinking about it. - But, but, wait.
- This car belongs to us all. - Please.
Pics for the Gram!
- Please come here. - Okay!
They are going to hear of it!
New car! Yeah-- Oh!
- Excuse me. I need to take this. - Go ahead.
Hey, sugar boy.
I'm good.
How are you?
Nothing much. Just chilling.
And yourself? What are you up to?
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- To many more. - Yes.
My sister,
you are indeed favored! The spec of your man is rare.
I know. I know.
And I honestly thank God.
You know,
this Lexus gift came in a very dramatic way.
Tell me about it.
So, I was about to go out…
As much as I know that not all men
have the means to act like Lydia's husband,
I sure know that all men do have the option
to be calm with their wives.
They just don't go for it.
For example, my own husband.
Master of the universe,
I call upon the forces of the earth to favor me.
Promotion at work.
Protection for my wife, my childr--
Master of the universe,
I come--
- So, let… let-- - Dunni!
Yes, babe?
Dunni, what's all this rubbish?
- What is it, babe? - I told you that I needed to pray.
And yet you are sitting down here, watching TV,
while these children are disturbing me with their noise.
I'm sorry, babe, but when you have kids in the house, you don't expect
absolute quietness.
Just listen to the rubbish you are saying.
Do you think what I'm doing is child's play?
- Eh? - I'm not…
That's not what I am saying. I'm just trying to explain to you that,
- you know, when you have kids-- - I don't care!
Caution the kids, that's all I ask!
If you cannot work and make money,
the least you can do is to help the person that is.
Olayemi.
What did you just say to me now?
Am I lying?
Or am I asking for too much?
Hearing Yemi talking,
you will think Dunni is a liability.
Meanwhile, there was a plausible reason for this situation.
I was never like that before.
I graduated with First Class
and was at my Service year when I met my husband.
One thing led to another and I was pregnant.
I couldn't pursue my Masters due to frequent illness.
This made us decide that I focus on the home
while Yemi works for the money.
Considering all the love and care he showered me,
it was easy for me to put aside my career dreams
just to keep our love and homefront on course.
Little did I know…
that those
who use a fine garment to clean the floor
are the very first to call it a rag.
Everything changed when he lost his job.
Things became very hard.
He got cranky.
Although, he now works elsewhere,
but he's now a shadow of himself.
Hi.
Where did you go to?
Don't be upset, my friends.
I was actually thinking about the kids, you know. I left them with Yemi.
- Ah. - And he cannot successfully boil water.
- The kids will be fine. - They'll be just fine.
Lydia, where is Manila?
- You didn't tell her about this? - Oh, of course I did.
- So, why is she not here? - I did. No, I…
Oh my God. What's wrong?
- Oh! Whoa! What happened? - Are you okay?
What happened to you?
- Gently. Just… - Are you alright?
I used to be the apple of my husband's eyes.
He loved me so much.
He used to worship the ground I walked on.
Till…
I got pregnant.
I was spitting around. I lost my agility.
You know.
My man stopped coming close to me.
He started…
He started avoiding me.
This made me so sad.
I was really, really sad.
But then I thought…
after I give birth to my child, everything will come back to normal.
But I was wrong.
Because life dealt us a hard blow.
I had my child through through CS.
So, all my plans
to recover fast, I wasn't able to do it.
I was just at home getting fat,
pounds upon pounds… upon pounds.
upon pounds.
But you have to get me a good place
to sit. You know I'm royalty and royalty doesn't just sit anywhere.
It has to be somewhere cool, calm, classy. With the best of… You know.
I'll see you soon, alright?
Okay then. Bye. Awesome.
Tade, where are you going to?
I said, where are you going to?
What is always wrong with you, this woman?
What's your business with where I'm going to?
Tade, you're my husband. Your whereabouts are my business.
It's not.
It's not your business in any way. Okay?
It's none of your business.
Tade, why are acting this way?
My love, you don't stay in the house anymore.
In the last month, you've stayed in this house for a whole day.
Leave me! Staying in the house for what?
No, for companionship.
- Like love and affection. - Stop it!
What love and affection?
With the way you are scattered around the house?
Where is the attraction in you that will make me want to
come back to the house and run to you all of the time?
What is the attraction?
Stretch marks all over your body,
like somebody struck by lighting!
Were you struck by lighting?
- I just had your son. - So?
Are you the first person to have a child?
You're supposed to hit the gym, look good,
look sexy all of the time.
No! You…
My friend,
I am still a young man.
And I've got a lot of good blood inside of me.
I need some, you know…
I am not a man that they'll tell, manage the rest.
No, I'll pass.
I cannot manage the rest. I have to manage it from the very top.
So, tell me what is there to manage in your body? What?
Come on. Get out!
What happened?
Different strokes
for different folks.
What?
Manila, you have to calm down.
I mean, you have to take it easy with this weight loss, you know, journey.
Rome wasn't built in a day and you can't suddenly shed all the weight in one day.
How?
I'm trying. I'm trying so hard, but…
I am starved of love and affection.
My man hasn't come near me for ten months now.
He said he doesn't find me attractive anymore.
Where else would I be if not in the gym?
Am I not supposed to turn the gym to my house? What am I doing at home?
Manila, I understand you.
- Honestly, I do understand. - No, you don't.
You can never relate to what I'm talking about. You can never
understand what I'm talking about.
Look at you. Your man takes care of you, he pampers you,
he dotes on you, he takes you traveling, he buys you anything you want.
Lydia, you will never know what it feels like to be abandoned
emotionally and verbally abused every day.
So they all think.
Mommy.
Oh, I mean, good afternoon, Ma.
- Can we at least come in? - So exhausting.
- What's the chattering about? Chatterbox. - Right?
Is it that you don't want us to come in or what?
No, I wasn't expecting you, so I was a bit surprised.
Oh. I understand.
- Is that my printer? - Actually.
He's a very stupid man.
I've often told him when I'm coming, he should send you a billboard.
- A big one. - To inform you that I want to come
- to my own son's house. - Right?
Mommy, it's not like that.
I would have made preparations if I knew that you were…
What stupid preparations?
- She wants to put out a red carpet. - What preparations?
- Look, where's my son? - He is not back, Mommy.
He's not back?
Whose car did we see outside there?
Oh, it's a new gift from God. It's just something small for me.
Small. It is the word "small" for me.
What's the name of the shoes you usually wear?
- Louboutin. - Lobatan.
Lobatan.
- It really is over. - Right?
You blessed yourself with a new car.
- You get a car, she gets a car, - I get a car.
- I get a car, right? - God is doing a giveaway.
Is it that you don't understand that your land is dry?
Basic.
Your walking on desert.
What a pity. Rubbish!
- No foresight. - You're blessing yourself with gifts?
- You are blessing yourself with gifts - You are celebrating a new car.
when you haven't given us a gift in this house!
She's celebrating a new car when her mates are celebrating children.
Exactly. She's celebrating a new car.
- Rubbish. - Is that not so?
Look here.
Which room?
You wouldn't dare.
You will point a room for me in this house.
Show Mommy where she will stay.
Let her show me.
- This girl is too forward. - Nonsense.
- Mosun, go and get my luggage! - That's true. Leave the door open!
I will hit you with the door. Leave it open. I don't have time for this.
Rubbish!
The house is this big and you don't have a maid.
She's too strict!
Please, wait. Be patient!
Where you come from,
you will be watching your own sister-in-law
- It's because I'm skinny. - dragging and lifting
and you can't even help her?
Mosun, let's go.
You are in your brother's house.
- If you like… Don't take it. - Follow me with the box.
Nonsense.
A lot. I went swimming, then I went for a massage.
- Yes, we're about to go-- -
- Isn't that Lydia's husband? - Babe. Babe, let's go inside.
My baby, what's up?
What is going on?
- Babe, what's wrong now? - Nothing.
I'm not just in the mood.
What's going on with you, babe?
What's the attitude for?
This is not your usual vibe.
- Talk to me. What's going on? - Seriously,
In fact, I'm pained, okay?
I'm highly disappointed in you, so just let me be, please.
So, What did I do now?
What did I do to offend you now?
So, you have money to buy your wife a new car.
And all I asked for was just 500,000 naira.
And you asked me to wait for two months.
You have seen a fool, right?
But when you are on heat
and you are looking for who to pound like a mortar,
you don't hesitate to look for me. Like I don't deserve a new car myself.
How did you get to know about the car?
Your wife is on IG. I follow her.
Now, listen, babe.
I know you're offended, but you don't know the other side of the coin.
I had ordered that car for her a long time ago in Germany.
I'm telling you, well over six months.
I mean, they are just delivering it right now.
I paid for it a long time ago. You know, long before your request.
- Really? - Yes, now, that's how these things work.
They just don't turn out of the blue like that.
Just give me a little time, okay?
Little time and I will sort you, babe.
Give zaddy a smile. Stop that. You know… You know you…
Stop, baby girl. Is that why you've been frowning your face?
- You said I should give you two months. - What's wrong with you?
- Two months. - Just two months. Nothing sad at all.
- Really? - But now you're ready to have sex
- and you want me to have sex. - What do you mean by that?
Oh my God!
A gentleman at day,
quite a horse at night.
God. God, when?
Shit!
Tadese?
My Goodness
I'm coming now.
What is wrong with you?
You don't know that someone is knocking?
My friend…
- Do you have to get drunk every day? - Who is drunk?
You don't know the difference between
somebody that is drunk and somebody that is…
- Easy! - that is just tired.
- At times, you just talk - Careful. My leg hurts.
- Please. - out of point. Excuse me!
In fact, leave me alone!
What's wrong with you?
Come back here! Come here!
- For what? - Don't ever… I repeat.
Don't ever when I,
king-to-be Tadese, asks you a question,
just answer me straight.
Don't ask questions with questions.
Can I go back to what I was doing before you came back?
What were you doing?
I'm here, you're still asking me if you
want to go back to do what you were doing.
Are you mad or something?
You want to be doing something when you are supposed to be performing
your wifely duties here.
Or you think I came in for nothing?
- Tadese? - Yeah?
- I have an injury on my leg. - So?
I still have to do my chores in this house with this injury, take care of your son.
And of course,
do the laundry so you can find trousers to put your used condoms tomorrow.
What's that?
Oh, the keys to your mansion, Your Royal Highness.
What's this?
I can't even imagine how you just derive so much pleasure in spiting me.
Oh yes, because I lost my body while having your son.
I still don't hold that against you.
What do you do?
- You go out and carry useless prostitutes. - Me?
How low can you go?
Me?
It's me you are talking to like that?
No, it's me.
- Okay. - Yes.
- I'm the one you are-- - My friend,
- Come here! - don't touch me!
I just told you I have an injury on my leg. Don't touch me!
- When you have an injury… Come here! - Tadese, I have an injury on my leg!
- I told you my coming-- - I have an injury
- Shut up now! You just - on my leg!
need to raise it up this way!
- I have an injury on my leg. - Raise it up!
- Tade, don't do this, please. - Raise it. That's all you need.
- It's easy for penetration. - I just told you I have an injury
- on my leg, I beg you. I have an injury. - Raise it up! What do you… Raise it.
Babe, food is ready.
Should I dish or…
- Babe. - Come on now, for God's sake.
I can hear you. I'm busy now!
You have been on this laptop ever since you came back
from work, like three hours now.
Why do you always bring office headache to the house now?
What's all these… What's all these… all these questions?
Look, I'm not in the mood for these your questions.
I am trying to find answers to some very complicated transactions here
and you are disturbing me!
Why do you keep referring to us as disturbances?
How did I disturb you now?
How did I disturb you?
What is it?
Were you sent to frustrate me?
All I'm telling you is you are becoming something else.
A lone wolf!
When you got a promotion, I was so happy.
But nowadays, I feel you are turning into something else
I don't understand. I don't!
Okay, so I should be wasting my time playing with you, eh?
While I leave my company accounts to be incoherent?
- Is that it? - Did I say so?
Did I say that?
I'm just telling you,
let work be work and home be home.
Don't become useless at home because of work!
Come, come, come.
Where did you learn that one from?
TV, right?
Meaning?
Meaning, if it came from someone who actually worked,
- maybe it would sound original. - Olayemi,
I will not have you talk to me in that manner ever again!
You know I'm a hard worker. I am not lazy.
I did not choose to be idle in this house.
We both agreed,
you and I,
that I face the home while you go to work!
- Then let me work in peace! - Okay, work! Work! Work!
Nonsense.
Mr. Workaholic,
that's the bill from the children's school.
School resumes in five days.
Have you heard?
- Can you see you're stupid? - You are also stupid.
- What? - Yes, Olayemi,
you are stupid!
You are so insensitive and full of yourself!
At every given opportunity, you throw the breadwinner card!
Are you the only one that works?
When did you become this vain?!
Mr. Workaholic!
- Dunni? - Eh?
Dunni?
- You dare talk to me like this? - Yes,
Olayemi. I will talk to you the same way you talk to me!
Olayemi,
you know I never chose to be a housewife.
I had to put my career on hold just to have a life with you!
But what did you give me in return?
You talk to me like trash,
I address you like shit!
Jesus!
- Olayemi? Ola-- - Is it me you're talking to?
Is it me you're talking to? You're mad!
Olayemi? Ola--
I wondered if he was cursed.
- Is that a man? - Mama? Mosun?
- Oh, my son! - Hey!
Nice to see you.
It's not good that I have to wait this long before I get to see you.
But Mama, you didn't tell me you were coming.
- I would have prepared for you. - Mommy's boy.
- I wanted it to be a surprise. - Mommy's boy.
I've missed my son.
I'm jealous.
- So good to see you. - Same here, Mama.
Always, always welcome.
Mosun, how are you?
- I'm fine, thank you. - And how's your baby daddy?
You mean that lazy, irritating human being?
I've left him since! I have gist for you. SInce!
Look, my darling, how senseless is it
to have a man who really, it's the wife who's providing for him.
It's absolutely senseless.
- Very. - I mean, he expects
Mosun here to feed her child with 15,000 naira every three days.
- How? - Come on now. How do you expect that?
The man is ridiculous. And he expects her
to take care of a child that he fathered!
How? But honestly, if not because of you… I would be suffering.
- My dear, God will bless you. - But then again…
Sit down. Let me see your face.
You didn't tell me you were coming
- though. - I wanted it to be a surprise.
I just… I missed you.
So, how was your trip?
- It was good. - It was good.
- Look, God bless you. - Amen!
Everything you lay your hands on will prosper.
I don't know how you're getting your money,
but whatever it is, the well will not run dry.
Amen!
God will continue to bless you.
- Amen. - The fact that you stand as a man
and you're taking care of your sister
and her child…
Mommy, to be honest, if not because of my big brother,
I would have suffered!
- Serious suffer! - God will never alow that.
- No, we have to say. In all honesty, - I'm so grateful for you.
you cannot be doing all of this and then not have a reward.
There's no more dry land.
You cannot be suffering like this
and then nothing will come to play, eh?
Look, you can't be pouring water into a basket.
- It's a waste of energy. Waste of energy! - Waste of energy!
You cannot continue to do that.
- It's like you are sowing and not reaping. - Yeah! And you work
- so hard. - You will reap where you sow!
- Amen! - And God will take you out of this
- dry land. Eh? - Amen.
- And God will do it for you. - Amen.
- He will remove the dry land - Amen.
- and prosper you. - Amen!
- Right? - Mama, thank you for the prayers.
- Thank you, darling. - It's always a joy to see you and Mosun.
I've had a long meeting, almost all night.
I’m really exhausted.
Let me freshen up. I’ll be right back.
Alright, my dear.
Babe?
I'm sure Mother came to get some money from me.
She wants to stock her store badly.
We talked about it last weekend.
I think I probably have to make out some kind of budget for her.
Yeah, in the same vain, we had that meeting.
We decided the venture was going to get 600 million naira--
Your mother…
called me barren.
Alex, right in front of you.
Mother was just being Mother. She doesn't mean those words.
She was just being emotional.
That's not the first!
She does that all the time and you know it!
So, what do you want me to do?
- Beat up my own mother? - Baby…
What? Wait…
Listen, she's just being a mother.
Okay? It's just out of motherly concern.
Because listen, the truth of the matter is that
she will not complain if there was nothing for her to talk about.
Wait. What does that mean?
She called me barren.
She said… She prayed for our separation right in front of you
and you said nothing!
Instead of crying about people pointing at you,
maybe you should invest your energy in giving them a reason not to!
I'll be downstairs.
What does that mean?
Lydia,
please I need you in my house right now.
It's an emergency. Please.
What is happening?
- Well? - Wow.
- You like? - Yeah, thanks.
Yeah, that's just my little way of showing how much I appreciate you.
And to say thank you for being such an amazing support.
And…
to let you know that standing right before you is the new
Abuja Branch Manager for Vilton Holdings.
Oh. Congratulations.
So, what's wrong? Why…
Why are you cold?
I said congratulations.
Okay, so,
you're not happy for me?
I'm happy.
I mean, I'm happy for my darling husband
who was barely around when he worked in Lagos.
And now he has been transferred to Abuja.
I think it's time for e-marriage.
Okay. From…
How is that what you can come up with?
What else would you rather have me say?
How about relocating?
- With me to Abuja. Yes. - Relocating?
- Yes - Relocating?!
My husband is barely around with me
and now all of a sudden, from nowhere,
I should relocate!
Now, what's the difference between this and polygamy? Tell me.
Oh, here we go again?
I have been doing this for the last five years with you, Khalid!
Five bloody years! I have been seconded by your bloody job!
And now, my life has been wrapped around this
decision made by this stupid board over there!
They only allow you when they want you to!
And when you are in the house, what happens?
Your erection is probably determined by the shitload of work on your bloody table!
No more!
- Rubbish. - Onyinye, what's going on?
Where is all this nonsense coming from?
Huh? Cause I don't get it.
- At this point in my career, this is - Who cares?
- what you have to say? - I don't fucking care, Khalid!
I don't care! I don't care!
If you think all you think about is making money
than rather being a husband, then please, do me a favor,
go ahead and marry your fucking job!
Cause I am done!
You can go ahead and take your stupid job,
take that promotion for all I care. I don't care!
But as for me, I am going nowhere!
You heard me. Please, please, please, move your legs!
And listen.
If I end up doing anything stupid, you caused it.
Telling me rubbish.
He beats you?
Why didn't you ever say anything?
Does it matter?
If I told you, what would you have done?
You don't know what it feels like to live with a double-sided man.
One minute he is an angel, the next minute
he is hell! Hell himself.
Jailing him isn't even an option.
Because, you know, my kids would suffer.
But Dunni…
Dunni, that is not enough reason for you not to have said something.
What are friends for if not to support and help each other?
And also make jest of one another later.
Why would you say that?
You know,
I used to be a very promising lady.
That even Janet was kind of jealous of me, in everything.
But look at me now. See what I've become.
No work, no ambition. I have nothing!
And you still expect me to add… being a punching bag to my portfolio?
No one was ever going to laugh at you in the first place, Dunni.
Speak for yourself, Lydia.
When it comes to trust, I know who to trust.
How long has he been suffering from this difficulty in breathing?
It's been on for a while now.
So, what I just do when it starts, I mop him up with hot water.
Like put a towel in hot water and mop him up,
rub ointment, and just cover him with a duvet.
Okay. So, that episode is a sign that you waited way too long.
So, what he's suffering from is a lower respiratory tract infection.
But don't worry, we can manage it.
It's easily manageable.
But you have to commit to two things. Firstly,
he must take his medications religiously
and secondly, you have to report any form of abnormalities in his body function.
- Alright? - I will. Okay.
So, I'm going to write a list of medications for you.
Thank you very much, Doctor. Thank you, ma.
Baby, you're back.
Sorry, my darling.
How was your day?
Where did you go with my car?
I took Temilade to the hospital.
I was calling you. You were not taking your calls.
It was an emergency.
You took a car to a hospital that is just three streets away!
Thereby rendering me stranded, unable to go for my meetings!
I didn't know you had an appointment.
I just told you it was an emergency.
I called you but you didn't pick up your call.
That's why I took the car to the hospital.
You may be-- Come on,
give me the key!
It is not your fault. It is not your fault!
I spoilt you by allowing you to have access to the key!
Listen,
don't ever,
in your life, don't ever take my car without my permission!
What about the car you took out?
Are you okay? Ask the mechanic!
Sorry.
Tade, I just told you your son was sick and I had to rush him to the hospital.
You didn't even ask me what is wrong with your son.
You've just been talking about your car.
Am I the doctor?
Did you not just tell me that you took him to the hospital?
What am I supposed to do?
Get out of the way!
Dunni, this is home for you for as long as you want.
- Have you told your husband? - No, I don't have to.
The only thing I need for you to do for me is that no one knows about this place.
I would really appreciate it if it stays that way.
I can no longer stand the inconsistencies in your report.
You will pay up the entire nine million naira deficit.
And Yemi, your services are no longer required.
Third disappointment in one month.
How am I going to pay for this?
How?
Why did you let her go, my friend?
How many times do I have to tell you, you need to treat your wife well.
Maraj, I tried.
But she always makes it so difficult.
You tried, but you see,
loving a woman is not designed to be easy.
That is why this is a command!
Now tell me. Have you ever caught fish in fire before?
No.
Have you ever seen it swim in it?
No.
Now let me ask you a question, my friend. How do you see water?
Every day.
That is because this is life.
Water is life.
It breeds life, it gives life.
But fire,
it takes it all away.
Now your stars have brought you your water,
but you decide to use your heat to dry it up and send her away.
Now for life to be restored, water must return, my friend.
Ninety-eight.
No, no no, no.
I might have to inform Lydia that the printer
only brought 99 copies of the invites.
Not up to 100.
Okay.
Anyway, honey, in charming,
I will charm the guests.
I trust you.
Just don't forget you are a married woman.
Honey, the only time that I actually feel married is whenever I'm online.
Okay?
Anyway, so what are you doing now? Tell me.
Well, I'm just sending my CV to companies.
Are you backdating?
Hell no!
I tell the truth and hope for the best.
- Okay. All the best. - Thank you.
Manila, what's wrong?
Temilade is down to his last medication
and his father is not saying anything about it.
I'm calling him… I've been calling him. He's not picking up.
Then wait for him to get home.
He traveled. He traveled this morning to the village.
I don't even know why.
- It's okay. Just calm down. - Just relax, okay?
- Okay. - Okay, the caterer just texted now.
She said she will be bringing some…
samples of the finger foods to the house tonight for us to see.
The house?
Okay. What house?
I mean Lydia's place.
- Oh, okay. - You all stay together now?
That's not what I meant.
I might just be staying a little while, you know, just to
meet with the caterer alongside Lydia.
- Oh, okay. Right. Very thoughtful. - What friends do.
Meanwhile, your husband.
He won't stop calling my phone, asking for your number.
- And what did you tell him? - Please,
I told him, whenever you see the source, ask from the source directly.
Anyway, I just told him that whenever you see her, just…
You know what?
To be honest, I told him to just ask you for it when he sees you at the party.
Which party?
The party. Lydia's party.
Did you invite him to the party?
What are you saying?
No, not technic… Not really.
I only invited him to come and get the number directly from the source.
So, the missing invite. Did you take it?
Yeah. See, I will do anything to reduce my call logs, okay?
Yeah.
- Onyinye! - Onyinye!
What is it?
What?
Invite, please.
Can you spin me?
Amazing. You're amazing.
My gorgeous wife, ladies and gentlemen.
- What? - One second.
Okay, thank you.
- Baby. - Thank you.
Well, it's only fair that I say something in honor of this woman.
Well, being the priest of the house, so to speak.
My wife is singular.
I think she's one in a billion.
Seriously.
- Yes! - I mean…
I mean, a lot of men have it together.
I mean, some of them have wives that are their best friends,
good wives, business partners.
But I have it all in one.
My mother, my best friend, my business partner, my confidant,
and to boot, the most gorgeous woman in the room.
I'm a lucky man.
I've counted my blessings until I lost count.
So, God knew what He was doing
when I found you and, more importantly, when you found me.
Thank you.
So, welcome to our home, guys.
Eat, drink, and be merry.
And there are enough rooms in case you…
you pass out and then you have to sleep over.
Salute. Thank you.
Baby, amazing party. Amazing party.
Don't drink it, you know why.
What is it?
- See how beautiful you are! - Just look at me.
It's bone-straight.
- It's bone-straight? You smell nice! - Can't you see it?
Look, let's go inside!
The party is fun.
Invite, please.
What's that?
What's the meaning of that?
Did you not see that I just came through that door? Eh?
My brother is doing something.
You're telling me that my guests cannot enter.
- Hello, sweetie, please fall in. - In our house.
Our house!
What is going on now?
- You're welcome. - Who are they?
Wonderful. No.
- Friend, do something about this! - Wonderful. No, wonderful.
Because he is in a suit, you allowed him in.
In my brother's house?
My brother's party?
You are telling me that somebody cannot go inside!
No, explain yourself. I want to hear.
Sorry, those who put us here gave clear instructions.
No invite, no entry.
- Let them know what you are capable of. - There's going to be a fight here today.
- It will be a resounding fight. - We are ready.
- Just hold on for me, please. - Should we come with you?
- No, be patient. I’m coming. - We should wait? Okay.
See,
touch me, have fun. Enjoy yourself to the fullest.
Make use of the opportunity you have now.
Because guys, truth be told,
you guys may not have this opportunity again.
When you see me again, it may be that you all will be queuing
before you can have access to me.
Okay, let me give you the gist. I just came back from my hometown
and the report I received says the present king is very sick.
The possibility of him surviving is slim.
Who is next? My family.
And who is the most popular choice? Me!
- Great! All hail the King! - All hail the King!
- That's it! - My guy, the king!
- I'm very, very happy for you. - Okay.
But you have an elder brother,
and I mean, they didn't even select your elder brother.
They still came for you.
That's a good one, my guy.
Yeah, because my elder brother is not qualified.
You know, he has eight children, all female.
And to be a king, you must have a son.
Straight win.
- All hail the King. - The King greets you.
- King Tadese in the making. - Okay!
My king!
Look around. Take whatever your hand can reach.
Cheers.
You are not too big for me to slap!
- Not too big! - You are not too big.
- I can tell you that much. - Go and ask after her.
Did they tell you that
- my own daughter cannot come in - Wait, wait.
- because of her friends? - I don't understand.
- What's going on here, Mama? - Alex, right
in front of your own eyes, eh,
right under your nose, your wife instructed
- these two security men, these two fools, - Just imagine.
that your sister cannot
- come to the party. - Imagine!
- Your own party! - Imagine!
- Can you imagine the audacity? - No, just imagine!
- Eh? This one? - Mama… No, no, Mama.
- Calm down. - Is it because you are tough-looking?
Wait, I'm sure there's a logical explanation.
Who gave that instruction?
They are asking you who gave the instruction?
The instruction was "No invite, no entry".
- Fuck. - Mosun, what is going on?
You are asking me what is going on?
Ask the bingo and binga you put at the gate.
Why are you responding to me in that manner?
- Because that question is foolish. - Very foolish!
That your question is very foolish, but don't worry.
We got you loud and clear!
Your husband's family is not allowed
- at his own party, right? - Mommy,
I was the one that gave you five invites when you asked for them.
If you wanted more people to come, all you had to do was ask me.
- I'd give you more invites. - Huh.
- And then? - No, babe. Baby, calm down.
Don't speak to Mama like that.
- My thoughts exactly. - Why are you speaking to Mama like that?
But you are here when Mosun speaks to me in that manner.
And you're here when Mommy is accusing me of something I don't know anything about!
Are you raising your voice at me?
- Did you just raise your voice? - Why won't she raise her voice?
This is just the beginning.
No, Alex, why won't she raise her voice?
It is said that when a woman stays barren for too long, she becomes a witch.
A witch!
Tell me. Tell me.
Why are you having a party?
- What? - What is the reason?
Because of this bottomless pit. Eh?
- Is that the reason? - Mama, no now, calm down.
- Do you want to beat me? - My thoughts exactly.
Do you want to beat me?
Do you want to beat me because of your wife?
Wait, first things first. Let's get you inside.
Let them go in.
- Let them go in. - No, she shouldn't let us go in.
Step aside now. Let them go in.
- Come, come, come. - Step…
- Step aside right now. Nonsense! - Let's go in. Step aside!
I will push you out of the way and damn the consequences.
Okay. Now listen, we're going to have a talk later.
- That was wrong. That's my family. - Alex Cole,
- you and I need to talk. - Yeah, babe, we'll talk later.
Let me take care of Mama first.
Lydia, please calm down. Calm down.
I don't want you to ruin the day with this anger.
His mother already took credit for that.
All I'm going to do now is speak my truth.
- You know words are eggs. - So is a patient woman.
Letting her fall loose is at your loss.
Please, I need to go.
They just called. Temilade is running a temperature
and he's not breathing properly.
- I'm so sorry. - Okay, go take care of him.
Please take care of him.
That's nice
- Great party. - Oh, thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you for having us.
My wife does throw a good party.
- Oh, of course. - She does.
- Yeah. - We had fun too.
Had? Are you guys on your way out? I see him check…
- We're leaving already. - Time is far spent.
- It's okay. Have a good night, okay? - Alright.
- See you. - Drive safe.
- Let me know when you get home, okay? - Yeah, sure.
- Okay - Regards to the wife.
I'm not married, bro.
Regards to whoever is home, man.
Hi, sir.
Where did you put the key?
Tade,
I've been calling you, but you're not…
Hi.
Come, come, come, easy easy.
Man…
I don't have another child.
Easy.
In hindsight, things are clearer.
I wouldn't want you to sit back later
and start thinking of how you could have
done things differently or better.
It's never funny longing for a family you once had.
Ask me!
Eh. Please calm down. Please.
Alex,
my husband.
I'm sorry about my outburst.
I…
I love you, Alex,
and I want for our marriage to work.
I don't know what to do when my childlessness is being rubbed in my face.
I…
I mean, I reacted wrongly and I’m so sorry, but
I didn't know what to do.
Hey,
I take the blame.
I'm sorry.
Listen,
I'm sorry too.
I have my own faults as well.
I should have defended you. I know I should have.
Please, please, baby, come. Sit here.
It's okay, babe. You know I have nothing against you.
Okay.
Couples fight.
Yeah, they do.
Meanwhile,
I woke up with a ravenous hunger.
- Seriously, babe. - Awesome.
Because I have some leftover jollof rice from yesterday.
You want some?
Right away, like yesterday.
I'm not moving an inch until I get something here.
- What is it with women and bribery? - It's what it is.
- Can your husband get fed now? - Yes.
- Okay? Alright. Go get it. - Yes. Alright.
- Wait. Why are you looking so beautiful? - No, stop.
No, seriously, what is wrong with you?
Go! Go and get this food.
Okay, with your fine self.
- Hey, baby boy. - What happened? I've been looking…
- texting you and you're not replying. - I've been praying.
Now, listen, I can't get everything you said yesterday out of my head.
It keeps just ringing in my head.
I couldn't sleep last night.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
It's my pleasure.
Okay.
- So, can you do me a favor? - Oh, sure. Shoot.
Yeah. So, when am I going to see
that gorgeous face behind the voice?
Where and when?
Alright. Let me give you a ring sometime this afternoon
and then we'll work out the details, huh?
Okay, see you.
Okay.
Alright, I have to go. It's been lovely meeting you. Alright.
This ring I'm giving you is very powerful.
All you have to do is wear it on your finger.
See to it that you hold him with it.
Just put the ring on your finger and immediately when you touch him,
that's it.
Then the man is bound to you and will
be yours forever.
No remedy.
Wow. Your husband is a lucky man.
Ah, I wish he knew. You know?
- He doesn't? - Unfortunately no, but it's okay.
Thank you.
Oh, where's my manners?
Yeah, thank you.
No remedy.
What's up, babe?
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Hello, friend.
Why are you crying?
Where is my child?
Mr. Tadese,
you have to be patient about all this.
You have to console Manila in her state. Please be calm with her. Please.
Console her about what?
Where is the boy I left in your care?
- Where is my son?! - No way. No, that's enough.
You're going to have to calm down.
Let her answer me.
- No. - Where is the boy I left in your care?
- Answer me! - Calm down.
Manila!
You are a useless woman.
You are a fool!
Your type is not worthy of motherhood!
- That's too much. - No now.
Manila, you had only one duty!
To take care of the boy you bore!
And you failed woefully.
You killed my son!
- Manila, you killed him! - Stop.
You are a nonentity!
- No, wait. - You are a nonentity.
You are a curse!
- You're a failure of a father! - Whoa!
Sorry, sorry. It's okay.
- It's okay. - It's okay.
- It's not okay! Ask him! - Don't say any more.
Where were you yesterday?
Where were you all night?!
I called you. I called you, Tadese! I called you several times!
But the beast in you…
No, no, you won't take the call.
Because your stupid wife, because the useless, fat, stupid Manila
- is calling you! - Enough! Manila
- Oh yes, I've got good news. - That's enough.
- Temilade is dead! Your son is dead! - No!
Everybody has to calm down now. Everybody has to calm down!
- That's enough. - You are a bastard!
No!
- Hear the witch speak! - What is wrong with you?
Mr.…
- Mr. Tadese. - That's enough. It's enough.
- No, come and beat me! - Come on! No, no, Manila!
I went through hell to have that child!
I went through hell and back and you know this!
Everybody has to calm down.
After everything that you've done to me, all I've done is just love you.
All I've done is just…
I just wanted to be a good wife to you!
I just thought if I endured, things would get better.
I was enduring and now you have taken the only thing that meant anything to me!
- My God will judge you! - My child is dead?
- Can you hear the witch? - Hey, Mr. Mani--
- Mr. Tadese. - It's okay.
- Calm… - You hear this witch speak?
- Calm down, Mr. Tadese. - It's okay. It's okay.
- It's okay. Sit down. - Manila, calm down.
You're a man now.
- Easy. You're a man now. Easy. - Mr. Tadese, calm down. Just calm down.
- Hey. - Good afternoon.
How are you? I'm from Mrs. Lydia.
I'm here to pick up a package from Dunni.
She's inside.
I heard you… took the kids out of their school.
You heard right.
But you could have at least told me.
Why is that?
Probably because of tuition fees?
It's not about money.
I just don't think it's fair that you shut me out of the children's lives.
No one shut you out. No one.
I merely helped you.
You seemed so weighed down by the load of "responsibilities,
liabilities", so I just eased them for you.
Dunni, I beg you.
I know I messed up.
Okay, you… you gave up everything and I threw it in your face.
Please forgive me.
- What exactly do you want? - I want my woman back.
I want the love and care that you showed me even when I was at my worst.
I miss you, Dunni.
And I miss the children.
If your woman is what you want back,
then please, forget about us.
Yes.
Because that girl you seek is long gone,
never to be seen again.
- Gone! - Dunni,
don't say that now. You're right here.
- I'm sure she's still inside you. - She's gone.
Dead and buried!
You see this Oladunni in front of you,
she's everything your feeble mind cannot withstand.
Yes.
I have tasted freedom, Olayemi.
I'm not going back to chains.
I'm not a slave master now.
Just give me a chance and I'll prove it to you. Okay?
I'll double your allowance.
- I'll start a business for you. - God forbid!
I, Jesudunni will never be submerged under the shadow of any man again!
Ever!
As I am, I will work for my money.
I will make my own money.
I will pay my bills
and will never have to check with any man again!
Do you understand that?
Can you deal with it?
Dunni, you know that I did everything in my power
to provide for you and the children.
And that is why you feel so worthless and frustrated
now that we no longer need your money anymore!
That was the only thing you had to offer us.
But there's more to our lives than just livelihood.
If you would excuse me.
Dunni. Dunni, Dunni.
Dunni, please.
Dunni, please, anything.
Anything you want, just say it. Anything!
- You'll do anything? - Anything.
- Anything? - Yes.
Court wedding. How about that?
Excuse me.
Hi.
Manila. Manila?
What's wrong?
It's okay.
Come, come. Come.
Calm down.
Now sit.
You don't need to cry.
This is God consoling you.
I don't want to ever have anything to do with him.
And your child?
This child is my child.
And only my child.
This child does not deserve Tadese as a father.
Tadese does not deserve fatherhood!
It's okay. I understand.
I understand. It's okay.
It's okay.
Don't cry.
See, trust me. I don't mind shutting down the whole city.
See, your village people will know that someone has come to pick his bride!
Trust me.
When the time comes, I'll let you know.
What is wrong with you?
Okay, babe,
there is one thing I want you to do for me that you are not doing yet.
- What? - Nabila, I want to be a father.
Babe, we've discussed this.
Yes, I know, but I'm not satisfied with the conclusion.
I am not trying to ruin my shape.
Do you how much my shape cost me?
Or even more to maintain this shape?
I’m not going to waste it on childbirth. I'm not ready.
See, but there are more important things in life
than just shapes and curves.
- Really. - Okay, so why did you leave your wife
and run after the "shape and curves"? Eh?
Was it not because childbirth has spoilt her own whatever?
Please, I'm not ready to be abandoned.
But why are you talking like this now? Really?
Babe, if you want to have a good time, I'm all in.
But anything else, I wish you the best.
- Babe, let's just have… Let's just chill. - Let the good time produce a baby.
Baby! Babe, I just want to be the only baby. We don't have to… Like,
we won't even have time to have sex. Like, babe, no.
I'm not ready.
Let's just have fun. Just…
- I'm just not ready. - Nabila…
This isn't good.
Baby, I just want to be with you.
Please, I'm not in the mood.
Gonorrhea?
How come?
Well, It is a… it's a sexually transmitted disease.
So it can only mean one thing.
You got it from someone who has it.
A sexual partner.
You mean my husband?
Because I have never been with anyone else.
Well, it is a highly curable disease, but…
provided you have to take your medications very, very seriously.
But you need to inform your husband to come for a test as soon as possible.
Hi, Lydia.
Yes, I'm on my way to your house now.
- I hope you have food. I'm very hungry. - Dunni, I'm not at home.
Something came up.
But wait for me. I’ll soon be home.
What's wrong?
- Hello, Chief. - Tadese.
The sun has set. Start preparing.
In about six months, a new moon will rise from our household.
I know you know, you should keep this a secret.
Okay.
Madam, good morning!
Maduka, come.
Ichie, how are you?
I'm fine.
You see now, see the way you are enjoying.
- Enjoying what? - Yes, now. The boss has traveled, right?
Keep quiet!
Don't allow the happenings of this mansion to scatter things for you.
What happenings?
Better open your eyes.
You don't need to lower your voice. She's on the phone.
You see all those women that have been following madam?
All of them are witches.
- Witches? - I'm telling you.
When madam is not around, you will hear them. Some will be insulting her,
some will be cursing her. But once madam comes…
some of them say, "Thank you, ma,"
some of them say, "You are beautiful, ma."
Even the head-witch among them, some will say,
- "God bless you, ma." - Are you serious?
I'm telling you.
You thought I took the boss traveling, right?
Where did you take him to before?
One of madam's friends
and the boss are at Patriot Hotel as we speak now.
Seriously?
- It's the truth. - Wait. The boss is at a hotel?
As I speak. Is it books they read in a hotel?
What is paining me is this woman is so sweet.
I mean she's so lovely. She's been good to me for 16 years.
You've started. You keep adding one year. It's 15 years.
Forget about that one-year internship. But she doesn't need to be…
- It looks like… Please. - She's coming.
Pretend like you are working.
Welcome, madam!
Madam, welcome.
Good afternoon, ma.
- Hey! Welcome. - Hi, you.
Are you okay?
Alright, come on.
- Get the things from the car. - Yes, ma.
It all started right after the wedding anniversary party.
- Alex hardly sleeps at home. - What?
I swear. He leaves home, tells me he's going for a business meeting,
but my eyes at the office tells me he barely shows up.
Sometimes he comes to the office at past 12
and drives off to God knows where.
And then this. Gonorrhea.
How? From where?
Maybe from a public toilet
or it could be an infection, like…
- A UTI, like bacteria. - Come on, Dunni.
Please.
Gonorrhea is an STD.
Gotten from a public toilet, a dirty one at that, that's filled with shit.
That toilet is Alex.
A complete nuisance, irresponsible.
I mean… After everything we've been through.
After standing by him, this is what I get?
I tolerate his saucy mother, his mannerless sister.
They rub my biggest heartache to my face.
And I tolerate it because of Alex
and this is what he pays me back with? Gonorrhea?
How? I mean just… What if it was HIV?
He pays me back with gonorrhea!
I mean, like, how?
I…
I may have an idea of the source.
What?
- Hello? I want popcorn. - Hello?
What in God's name? This is a hotel, not a cinema.
I'm craving popcorn and dankwa.
You and I know that craving is a revenge plan for husbands who won't run errands.
If you don't eat popcorn now, your baby will still kick.
Hold on. Hold on.
Hello?
- At the parking lot. - Meet us at the parking lot.
Okay?
Ready to have an amazing time?
Can't wait.
It's going to be an ama--
Onyinye!
- Onyinye? - What is it?
- So, it's true? - That what?
That you are a public dog!
- You are shameless and thoughtless! - Wonderful.
So you couldn't find anyone else to do this
nonsense with except your friend's husband?
Bring your husband
- and see how I will have sex with him. - Are you mad or something?
- Please get out of my way. - Do you think… Come back here!
- What is it? - Come here!
Are you mad? I'm talking to you!
- You want to see the crazy part of me? - Oh, you want to fight?
- Come on! - Please hold this!
- You want craziness today. - Okay, let's fight. You want to fight.
- You want to fight. - Do you know who I am?
- Get out from my sight! - Let's fight then!
- Come here! You're a foolish girl. - Leave me. Let me deal with her!
Yeah!
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
Hey!
Oh my God!
- Manila. Jesus! - Manila!
- Manila. - Jesus! Ohh!
- Sir, don't go and leave me. Help! - You have killed her. Manila!
Yeah! Manila!
We are trying all we can to stop the contraction.
As it stands, preterm delivery is inevitable.
We would have to carry out a cesarian section on her
and incubate the fetus once it's out for a while.
Okay. We're ready. What do we do? I mean,
what does this entail?
Well, it is a lot of procedures in one, so I'm afraid
I'd need her husband to sign the consent form.
- Can we sign for her? - But she's married.
- Doctor, but it's a long story. - Yes it is.
- We can sign for her. We are her friends. - We are her friends.
I'm afraid as an establishment, we try to do things by the books.
- Just to avoid lawsuits and action. - There will be no lawsuit.
At all. At all.
We've been the ones taking care of her for months now.
- Yes. - Her parents are late and she is
separated from her husband. There'll be no lawsuits.
- At all. - I wish I could help
but protocol is protocol.
I will try as much as possible
to do what we can do to stop the contraction for now.
But please, get her husband to sign the consent form.
How? How now? How?
Thank goodness, here comes the husband.
- What is it? - Manila is in labor. Preterm labor.
Labor?
They need for you to sign some consent form, please.
Wait. Was she pregnant?
Yes, but only known to those who truly care about her.
Those who truly care about her.
Please get the doctor and get the consent form for him to sign.
Please.
So, she…
Those who truly care about her.
- Manila? - Yes. Those who truly care about her.
- Doctor? - Mr. Tadese.
Where's my wife?
It's good to see you. She's being stabilized in the ward.
Can you please take me to her?
Oh, it's not a problem. Let's go.
Nurse, please talk to them.
Doctor, please,
I beg you in the name of everything that is dear to you.
Please do everything you know to make sure she has a safe delivery.
Please, I beg you.
Please.
We'll do our best.
But in the meantime, I'll need you to come to my office
- to sign the consent form. - Not a problem. I'll do just that.
I'll be back.
Thank you. I'll join you shortly.
Please don't be angry. I'm so sorry.
Why did you keep this from me?
Ever since you left,
I felt like you left with my peace.
But now I know the difference, trust me.
I am back. I am not going anywhere.
So, just… Everything will be fine, my wife.
- Yeah? - The doctor is waiting.
Okay. I'm coming.
Let me quickly see the doctor.
Please, help meM
Thank you. Please.
- Sorry. Sorry, you hear? - Sorry.
Just take a deep breathe. Breath in.
Breath out.
You…
You didn't tell me you were coming in today.
Yeah, I've got a piece of trending news for you.
Yeah.
And the bruise on your face confirms it.
- I can't do this. - How dare you walk out on me!
You ungrateful bitch.
You think I deserve this, right? Huh?
After I have busted my ass off for you, toiling everywhere!
To give you a life your father could never give you.
And now the harlot in you thinks I deserve this.
I beg your pardon?
Harlot?
You know, If I am a harlot, you made me one.
Oh, now you can get mad
because you're seeing me with another man?
All of a sudden, you can rush back from Abuja
under very short notice.
I mean if your work can be so demanding that your wife,
her needs are now second fiddle,
then, please, you can't blame me for making another man my priority.
You know, you you…
you're a shameless prostitute.
That's what you are.
If you think this little story of yours is enough reason
to sleep with your friend's husband,
- you're a fool. - Even if I decide to sleep with my father,
it's none of your business!
None of your fucking business!
Because I knew I lost my husband
the moment you bought me a box of sex toys!
Since you have decided to allow plastic take your place, then please,
don't be angry if I took it a step further by finding me a warm-blooded man!
- My friend, come here! - Don't you touch me! Don't!
And you know what?
I was really going to make all of this easy for you.
But now, you leave me no choice.
I'm done.
Why would you even think of making such a decision?
Change the ownership of your father's estate to a joint one?
For what?
He was your father's assistant, and so what?
I don't think you're getting the picture here, sir.
I mean, I honestly do not intend to throw my inheritance away.
I just think that…
I mean, we are going to get married,
so what I have is his as well.
Leave that to presumption.
Don't formalize it with change of ownership.
What if he messes up tomorrow and you file for divorce?
That will not happen, sir.
It won't happen.
- Good evening, sir. - Lydia? Quite an age.
Is everything fine?
Everything is fine, sir.
I just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you for stopping me when I tried to change the titles of my property.
- Oh, I see! - I would have been in deep regret today.
I was just looking out for you as I would my own child.
I appreciate that, sir.
I also want to ask a favor.
Go ahead.
I want to put up my property for sale.
Are you sure the pregnancy is yours?
Don't play any fast one in this matter, Tadese.
This is a matter of tradition.
It is not a thing to be trifled with.
Chief, I am sure, and I am certain about what I am telling you.
See, one thing I know is
Manila cannot get herself to sleep with any man.
Let alone carry his baby!
Please, sir, do everything within your power,
everything you know to make sure that the elders speak in my favor.
- But you know, - Please.
it is still a pregnancy, not a child.
She is in labor as I speak.
She will give birth in no time.
I’m serious.
Please, help me.
Whatever it will cost me, I am ready.
I am ready to pay any amount at all.
Just please, hold this down for me.
I beg you.
Please.
I will see what I can do.
I know what I'm going to do.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
You are my only hope.
What is it?
At least wish me a good evening.
Is that why you called?
Well, it's one of the reasons.
- Okay, bye. - Wait, wait, wait. Dunni. Dunni.
Do you have something important to say to me or you just called for frivolities?
Where is this harshness coming from?
Well, it's about what we discussed the last time.
I know I have wronged you several times.
I'm ready to start things afresh with you.
I will wed you the way you want.
Wed me?
You, wed me?
God forbid!
Sir, please save yourself the trouble!
I'm not interested in marriage.
After all, I'm happy being a single mom.
I'm not interested in any marriage.
What is this marriage all about really?
Is it not your way of legalizing dominance?
There's no one I know that has benefited from marriage.
Yet you want me to join that queue.
It's not going to happen.
See, Olayemi,
let's forget about this marriage thing. We have kids.
Move on with your life. I'm so done with you.
I am done.
Darling.
Lydia, let me quickly get the remaining things from the car.
I'll be back.
Oh no. Please don't. Don't… Please. It's okay.
Please, it's okay.
- Hey! - Hey, sugar.
Hey, what's up, baby?
Good. What took you so long?
Well, just handling some things.
- Okay. - Alright.
How was today?
Well, it's one of those days.
I was actually trying to sort somethings out.
That's okay.
Just give me a massage.
Sure.
Anyway,
my husband found out about us yesterday.
- He did? - Yeah. He confronted me
about it and…
I confronted him back.
Long story short,
I moved out.
Okay.
Oh, yeah. Alright.
Finally, I'm all yours and you're all mine forever.
Forever ever!
- Aren't you happy? - Yeah. Lydia moved out last night.
- Oh, what? Yes! Finally! - Yeah.
- This is exactly what we wanted, babe. - Yeah, sure.
Finally, we'll be together forever.
Forever!
So, tell me. When am I moving in?
About that, babes…
Well, I've been summoned by the company board.
- Which Lydia is the chairman, of course. - Okay.
I mean, I'm to face the Investigation Panel.
Why? What have you done?
Well, they say for… Well, some charges against me.
Abandonment of duties,
neglect, and soiling the company's public image,
lateness to work, amongst many other charges.
I'm sure that barren woman labeled these against you?
Well, technically, yes.
Of course, I have no defense.
I've also been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.
Especially because of the video making the rounds, you know.
- It didn't make things any easier. - Wait, wait.
Backtrack a bit.
Suspended?
What…
I thought… What…
You both own the company, right?
About that…
I want to go to the restroom.
- Restroom? - Yes, I've been holding it for a while.
I'll come back now.
Look at this man. Have I been duped? God forbid it.
Baby?
You both own the company, right?
Right?
They have finally gotten me. Wow!
Yes. Doctor, how is she?
We received a severe case of a distressed mother and child.
Are they fine?
Is everything okay with them?
I'm sorry, but we lost both mother and child.
Easy.
- No, dear God. - Easy, madam.
Nurse! Please just take it easy.
Take what?
Nurse, please!
At that point,
it became evident to me that this world
without the love of those who truly love you
is nothing more than a celebrated piece of nothing.
But the foolishness of the human heart
makes us see love as cheap and trivial
until we lose it.
We lost Manila
at just 32.
It was a very sad day for us all.
Particularly me. Because I know how hard
she strove to stay strong, even until the end.
We lost her. We lost her.
We lost her.
She met her fall while standing for me.
No love could be greater.
Manila might have been a calm soul,but
but in death,
her sacrifice is deafening.
We all need to know that there is a time to die.
You are a professor, you are a doctor, lawyer, president,
you are living today.
A time is coming
you, yourself, will lie down lifeless, like this.
Let's start to amend our ways.
Learn to forgive.
Brethren,
indeed, there's time for everything.
Our beloved sister, there was a time she was on her feet like you and I.
Having received the report of the Misconduct Investigation Committee
and by the virtue of
the power conferred on the board of Erodite Petroleum Limited,
in accordance with the provisions of the memorandum
and articles of association of this company,
you are hereby removed as the COO of the company.
All benefits attached to the office are hereby withdrawn forthwith.
The official letter is already in your mail.
Have a good day.
I don't understand what you need us to still sort out.
We need to leave this place. The bills are piling up and they are killing me!
Just give me a few days. I know what I'm doing.
- Just a few days to walk through-- - A few days for what?
- Don't you have a house? - I need to sort things out.
I mean, that's all. Just give me a few days to sort things out.
Look, there's nothing more to sort out.
Lydia already left the house for us.
All we need do is pack our things and move in.
Well Uhm…
That could be a problem.
It's not what it seems. It's a little complicated.
What do you mean?
Lydia is selling the house.
You are joking, right?
No.
This man, are you alright?
Are you okay?!
How can a woman just sell your house
and you are there, jumping from one house to another?
Are you a fool?
I mean, what is wrong with you?
Wait a minute. This man,
Alexandra Chukwuemeka Cole,
tell me.
Is the house yours?
And the house? The cars?
Hey!
People gather round!
What? So, what do you have?
What then is yours?
Cars you don't have, company is not yours.
Cars, house, what else do you have? So…
Oh my goodness!
So, what is this stupid publicity that Lydia is doing about you?
I should have known!
When you kept telling me, "Oh, babe, please sort out the hotel bills,
sort out the food bills until the end of the month."
What else do you have?!
You are just a bloody empty barrel!
An empty tin!
Empty stupid vessel!
- That's what you are! - No, but I'm not empty. I'm not empty!
Babe, I'm going to work to the bone!
I'm a hustler. I will hustle to the end.
I'll get us out of here.
Even if it means getting us into a small house, an apartment, or even a mini-flat.
- Just trust me. - You and who will live in a mini-flat?
God… Oh my God.
God will punish you for that stupid statement!
- You and I. It's about life. - You and who will live in a mini-flat?
We can start from scratch. It's about love, babe
Get off me! If you touch me, I swear to God
what I will do to you, I swear to God, you will not believe it!
You and who will live in a mini-flat?! Just take a look at me.
Take a look at me from head to toe.
Do I look like the mini-flat material to you?
- No, no. I can explain this. - Do I? Don't touch me.
- Get out of my house. Get out! - Which house?
We're in…
- Who's paying the bills? Get out! - Babe, wait. You're getting violent.
- Get out of here! - Jesus Christ!
I said get out! Idiot!
Oh God!
I've lost everything! Hey!
Once it starts working, you are to throw it away in the river.
And never to see it again.
That's it. The man is all yours.
Which means you are bound to the person.
Wait.
What if I get tired of him?
You can't get tired of him!
You are not to get tired of him.
Big sis, may we not run mad!
Take it.
Hey! What have I done to myself? What have I done?
This man has no money, nothing!
Yeah, come in.
Got seven…
- Hi! - Hi.
- Madam Executive Director. - You.
So cool.
You're welcome.
- How are you? - I'm good, thank you.
- And you? - I'm fine. I'm fine.
So, why have you called me here?
To talk.
And I also needed to ask you some questions.
Okay, shoot.
You.
As you know,
I'm back in charge here.
So, I wanted to know if you would like to work with me
as executive assistant to the CEO.
I mean…
Dunni, so much has happened.
I've been through so much myself.
And I'm certain that the right thing to do
is to have people I trust around me.
And every time I think of trust,
only your name comes to my head.
I will.
- I will! Thank you. - Thank you.
- I’m so grateful. Thank you. - For nothing.
- Let God alone be praised. - Thank you.
And…
I'd like to ask a favor too.
Okay.
We were four jolly good friends.
All of us were married.
Unfortunately, none of us was actually happily married.
My husband went off with our evil friend.
Manila has lost the opportunity of making her home work again.
Ah, so painful.
Which leaves us with you.
Dunni,
you still have a chance to make yours work.
I heard your husband was at the funeral.
He yearns for you.
Give it another shot, please. Try.
I can't.
Lydia, I can't. I can't.
I can't imagine myself walking right back into the life of slavery.
I can't.
That will never happen, Dunni.
Please.
Just talk.
Excuse me.
Dunni,
I swear on my life
and on everything that I hold dear, there will be
no such thing.
I know better now.
I know now that…
a man is only as good as what he makes out of his wife.
And I want to be a gardener.
Nurturing and tending the gifts that God gave me.
You and our children.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
All I want is for you to smile
with genuine happiness.
That's all.
Jesudunni,
all I'm asking…
I'm begging for,
is a second chance.
I swear.
I'll make sure you never even remember there was a first.
