-[indistinct chattering] -[woman sobs]
[woman screaming]
-[crowd screaming] -[in English] Fire! [screams]
[siren blares]
[woman] My child!
Where is my child?
-[murmurs in crowd] -Where is my child?
Where is my child? [exclaims]
-Come and help me save my child. -[chatter in crowd]
-My child is there. -Is there a child there?
-[in Pidgin] He's in there. -It's my child.
[coughs] [grunts]
[child coughs]
[chatter in crowd]
[choking cough]
[fireman] Sorry, Madam. Sorry.
[coughing continues]
-She’s alive! Ah, Jenifa. My child. -[chatter continues]
[in Yoruba] Please carry her for me.
Daddy. Ah,Jenifa.
[crowd chants] Jenifa!
[Jenifa coughing]
Jenifa!
-Thank you. -Jenifa!
-Look at her pretending! -Jenifa! Jenifa!
-Fake! -Thank you, Jenifa.
You are an amazing human being.
Amazing.
[in Pidgin] What’s the big deal? Why are you clapping?
-What’s that? -Didn’t you see what she just did?
-[woman 2] Heroic! -What anybody can do!
What is your problem?
[crowd] Jenifa!
[man] Baby, I saw your video on social media
that you rescued a girl from burning fire.
I feel so happy.
Are you happy that I saved the girl
or you’re happy I am trending on social media, on Twitter?
I am happy for both reasons.
Don’t you know you are now a superstar?
Look. Listen up…
I don’t live my life for social media validations.
I trust you.
Shege, please I want to get dressed.
I will call you later.
Is it ordinary brassiere and panties we have not seen before?
I can watch you while you wear them.
It’s not a bad thing.
[in Yoruba] [exclaims] See his mouth!
[in English] “Brassiere.” Local boy!
It’s called a “bra”! Look, I have to go.
[man] Hold on. Let me show you something, my dear.
This is my new business I told you about.
Aww…
Congratulations to you, Shege.
I am very proud of you.
So, what is it called?
Shege-Jenifa water.
“Shege-Jenifa water”? [chuckles]
[in Yoruba] You are funny, Shege.
[in English] Wait. You called it “Shege-Jenifa water”
because you want to impress me?
Look at me.
It’s not a very good name for marketing.
We will talk later, okay?
You know I have an outreach program.
Talk to you later. Chat later.
[Shege] Jenifa, all these outreach…
What time will we have for a proper hangout?
We need to spend quality time together.
I have things to attend to.
You talk too much.
End the call. I don’t want to be rude.
[man 2] Born and raised in Aiyetoro town.
Came to Lagos several years ago in search of greener pastures.
She worked very hard to get to where she is today.
[applause]
-[applause] -Ladies and gentlemen,
I present to you…
-Suliat… -[comic deflating music plays]
-Jenifa… -It’s just “Jenifa.”
-…Adedeji. -[applause]
Give me five reasons
why you can’t let go of Jenifa.
Really? [chuckles] Okay…
Listen to me.
She is beautiful,
hard-working,
caring,
courageous…
Her jollof rice… [relishes] [chuckles]
Rex, if you ever get a chance to taste her basmati jollof rice…
-your life will never be the same. -[exclaims]
You want to marry a woman because of her jollof rice?
You won’t understand.
Do you know how many women can cook jollof?
Bro, there are like ten million.
[chuckles]
Weren’t you the one who dated Prisca earlier?
Shege, look at you, bro.
Wasn’t she just after my money?
She spent every dime I made during my time as an internet fraudster.
And when the chips were down, she left me.
Who doesn’t want… Okay. If that is the case, what about Hauwa?
Stop mentioning these girls. None of them can be compared to Jenifa.
[exclaims] She was there for me at my lowest.
Even while I was serving time in prison,
she visited me three times.
There was a time my mother was sick.
She took good care of her.
My blood sister, Omolara…
was nowhere to be found.
[in Yoruba] Instead, she was with a man. [in English] Very useless girl.
[hisses]
My heart beats for Jenifa alone.
And I won’t stop until she is mine.
[in Pidgin] [exclaims] Well…
[in English] Stories that touch, from a real life angle.
[in Pidgin] But if that is the case,
why did Jenifa friend-zone you?
[in English] That's how women behave.
You should know that by now.
[exclaims] First, they play hard-to-get.
But as a determined guy
I have to be consistent in my pursuit.
You understand? Till she accepts me.
I concur with what you just said.
Go to Nigeria if that is the case.
[in Pidgin] So the two of you can spend quality time together.
[hisses] Going to Nigeria at this time will be difficult.
-Why do you say so? -You know fornication is my love language.
[in English] And Jenifa is celibate.
Jenifa told you she is celibate?
-Yes. -[hisses] [snickers]
I have to respect her wish.
-Why are you laughing? -[continues laughing]
Celibate? More like "celebrity."
[chuckles] [in Pidgin] Shege, your babe is constantly having sex in Lagos.
[in English] Don’t say that nonsense, Rex.
-[chuckles] -[in Yoruba] Rex, I don't want to hear
[in Yoruba] you utter such rubbish.
-What nonsense is that?! -[exclaims]
[in Pidgin] Shege, do you want to beat me?
Go ahead.
[in English] On behalf of the entire residents
of Amen Estate,
we are presenting to you
this humanitarian award.
-[cheers] -[applause]
Congratulations to you.
-[cheers and applause continue] -We love you Jenifa.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
the fire incident that made you all honour me today…
It was purely coincidental that I was present.
Rescuing the child was just one of the selfless acts
that I, Jenifa, always do.
I did it because it was important.
Let us prevent fire incidents from occurring.
Thank you, everyone.
-[cheers and applause] -We love you, Jenifa!
[cheers and applause continue]
Um… Once again, thank you so much, Jenifa.
-Oh. -[cheers and applause]
Here comes Mr. and Mrs. Anyanwu.
They are our new residents here.
Please welcome them warmly.
Thank you
-[cheers and applause] -Thank you Mr. Chairman.
-Hello everyone. -[in chorus] Hi.
-Um… as rightly introduced, -[chuckles]
I am Lawrence Anyanwu.
A.k.a Lobster.
[silently] Wow.
-Hi everyone. -[in chorus] Hi.
My name is
[hesitates] Olivia.
-[Olivia chuckles softly] -Yeah, so…
My wife, Olivia, is a fashion curator.
And I run an NGO,
-Lobster Foundation. -[Olivia chuckles]
And what we do at Lobster Foundation is rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation of youths who are hooked on hard substances.
Ladies and Gentlemen, that is us in a nutshell.
-Yes. [chuckles] -[chuckles]
-[applause] -It’s so good to be here.
[crowd murmurs welcome]
Good afternoon sir. Good afternoon. Nice to meet you.
-[Olivia] Thank you so much. -[Lawrence] Thank you.
-[Olivia] Thank you so much. -Thank you. Good afternoon.
Hello. Hi. Thank you so much.
-Thank you. -Hi.
-Hi. My name is Angel.
I am a resident here.
I own Angel Foundation.
-Oh. Okay. Nice to meet you. -Yes. [sighs] It's a pleasure.
She forgot to tell him that it's a failed NGO.
-[chuckles] -You can say that again!
[upbeat music playing]
[woman] Okay. Remember what I taught you the last time.
What’s going on? You don’t understand me?
No problem. I will speak Pidgin.
-Are you guys happy? -[in chorus] Yes ma.
[in Pidgin] Good. Now, take your scissors and let's begin.
Cut your straight skirt, let's start.
I have told you countless times not to parboil your rice before you cook it.
That is why the rice looks mashed up.
All you need to do is wash the rice thoroughly till the starch is gone.
Despite teaching you this method over time you all have refused to learn.
In today’s lesson, I will show you how to thoroughly wash the rice
and cook the rice deliciously. Open your pots and start cooking.
Madam, don't worry. It will be tasty.
[Jenifa theme music playing]
[Jenifa] Mmh!
[chuckles]
[in English] This is delicious.
-Yes it is. -I told you.
Wait a minute.
My students cooked this tasty rice?
-[concurs] -Give yourselves a round of applause.
-[applause] -Well done.
-Hilda. -Yeah.
I want to really appreciate you.
You are welcome.
For tutoring these students.
You don’t know what you have done for us.
Free of charge?
-[chuckles] -God bless you, Hilda Baci.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you so much, Hilda.
Once again,
I want to congratulate you…
-Yes. -…as
World Guinness Bottle Record…
Guinness World Record holder.
-World Record… -You are welcome.
-You're welcome. Thank you so much. -[chuckles]
I mean, I am really happy too.
It is such an amazing initiative.
Call me anytime.
-Aww… Thank you so much, Hilda. -Any day.
-Well done, guys. -[Jenifa] Thank you.
-A round of applause for Hilda Baci! -[applause]
I like what I see. Everyone’s hands are on deck.
-[overlapping chatter] -Thank you.
Veekee.
-Thank you very much. -[Veekee] Ah, Jenifa.
No problem. You are welcome.
-How are they coping? -They are doing well so far.
-Wow! -They are doing well.
This particular girl here…
-Yeah? -…Shalewa.
She just came back from the rehabilitation center.
-That’s really sad. -[sewing machine whines]
I hope she is doing well?
She is good. I can handle her.
-[sighs] -[laughs]
Thank you very much.
-No problem. -God bless you, Veekee James.
God bless you too, Jenifa.
[chuckles] Thank you ma.
[applause]
They did a good job. Thank you everyone.
The youths of Ayeatura community,
I am very proud of you all because
people have lost hope in you
[in Yoruba] and degraded you to drug addicts.
[in English] But the Jenifa Foundation has given you hope.
You are now equipped with vocational skills.
Go into the world and be a better person.
[applause]
Jenifa should have allowed Josephine address the youth.
I agree with you.
But I am sure they understand what she is saying.
Don’t let me bore you any further.
I know you want to dance, right?
-[in chorus] Yes! -[Jenifa] DJ, play us some music!
Dj give me fire works! Dj pull up!
[upbeat music plays]
[truck roaring]
[man] Jenifa!
[in Yoruba] I will teach you a lesson.
I will teach you an unforgettable lesson.
Children of destruction,
pour feces on them!
[people screaming]
[in Yoruba] You have stepped out of your league.
You have destroyed it by yourself.
[police siren]
[thrilling music playing]
Run faster!
Move it!
They can’t catch me.
-[Jenifa] You will regret your actions. -[Josephine] Yes.
[Jenifa] Can you imagine?
-[Josephine] Hard drugs! -You should be ashamed of yourselves.
-Look at them! -[overlapping chatter]
-Isn’t it that boy? -[Josephine] Yes. That’s him.
-Shut up! -That is him.
-Officer… That’s one of them -Ah, what did I do?
Good! Another one.
-[lamenting] Why are you-- -Shut up!
-There are many more of them, sir. -[exclaims] Madam!
[in Pidgin] Take a good look at me.
Did I pour feaces on you? I don’t even defecate.
You don’t defecate but you can pour excrete on people.
-I am not the one. -Officer.
The antibiotics that we took…
-[exclaims] -[in Yoruba] I am not the one.
I thought you said you will stop. Both of you.
Please, don’t let them lock me up.
Officer.
Tuesday is my child’s naming ceremony. I have sold uniforms for the occasion.
-Really? -I have sold uniform for the occasion.
You know you have to organize your child’s naming ceremony.
Yet, you are involved in crime activities.
You will do that naming ceremony in jail.
Keep shut, woman! What is the meaning of this nonsense?
-[officer in English] Keep quiet! -[in Yoruba] And so what?
Do you want us to strip naked in apology to you?
-What's wrong with you? -[exclaims] Ah, look at this one! Woman!
You are a disgrace to womanhood.
-[exclaims] -You are acting as a gangster.
I am very sure you are a mother.
Something like that
is none of your business.
Really? Something like that, right?
You will perform wonders in jail.
[woman] I don’t like going out with Jenifa
because Jenifa and "trouble" are inseparable.
[in English] [laughter] Thank God I wasn’t around for the outreach.
-[laughter] -[hiss]
Auntie, why don’t you take this hair?
See, it is for confident women.
Auntie Jenifa always says
when a confident woman wears this kind of hair,
she'll just be flipping it like this…
-[chuckles] -Do you see how I am doing it?
[chuckles dryly] Auntie Jenifa is actually right.
-But I-- -I want it, sis.
-[laughs] Sis. -Calm down. Calm down.
How much is it?
-It's just 1.5million naira. -[in Igbo] Ha! No!
[in English] Drop it! It’s too expensive.
No. It’s expensive for you but not for my brother in-law.
-He will pay for it. -[sales girl] Yes.
He will pay. Auntie, wait.
Let me go and bring one from the store for you.
-Okay. -Sam! You have a customer.
-[Sam in Pidgin] Go away. -What is it?
Why are you so aggressive? Do you want to kill us?
[Sam in English] You can come over here, please.
-[sales girl] Welcome, Auntie Jenifa. -[Sam] Hi.
-[Jenifa] Hello. [exclaims] -[Sam] Good afternoon, how are you?
-[Jenifa] Good afternoon. -[all] Good afternoon.
-[Sam] You are welcome. -[in Pidgin] How are you, Timini?
-Jenifa. Hi. -[Jenifa excited] Oh!
Oh, our new neighbour is in Jenifa’s hair salon.
[whispering] Jenifa, why are you acting as if you don’t recognize me?
It’s me.
[Jenifa] I remember you.
But… [tuts]
I don’t want to be forward.
You know, because of your past.
And as you came to the resident meeting, I didn’t want to act familiar.
You are now remarried, you know.
I have to respect that.
Yes. Thank you so much for that.
That time was a very rough moment in my life.
I was just a bit temperamental.
I had issues with my temper.
-[sarcastic] Aww. -But I am better now.
I've gone through therapy.
-[exclaims] -[chuckles]
-You went through therapy? -Yes.
That is the best thing you've done for yourself.
-Thank you so much. -I am very happy for you.
-Thank you. -You are back in Amen Estate
with a new life.
Old things have passed away.
All things have become new.
Thank you so much. Thank you, Jenifa. [chuckles]
Don’t be a stranger.
No, I won’t.
We are neighbours.
-We live opposite each other. -[chuckles]
-Give me your number. -Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
[woman] Hi everyone.
My name is Angel Agu.
And we are live here in Ayeatura community,
to cater for everyone.
As we all know,
food is the foundation of genuine happiness.
That is why we are here. To give back to the society
by feeding over one thousand persons
in this community.
From now till the next three days.
[man in Yoruba] Tell them to feed us too.
-Don't you know boys have to eat?! -Are you okay?
Do you want to bite more than you can chew?
Why are you so forward when you're not the squad leader?
How dare you misbehave in my presence?
I can choose to destabilize your face now.
Lebe!
My lord and leader. Number One.
What’s the reason for the noise?
Jabu-baby.
It’s these unfortunate fellows that want to dare you.
I have told them their fingers will get burnt.
-Do you want to remain cursed? -They are already cursed.
What's your problem anyway? May you never grow old.
Weren’t you told I was the one that summoned you here?
Ride on, my lord.
Don’t overstep your boundary else I'll deal with you.
That’s my leader.
They want to rehabilitate you, yet you are still misbehaving.
Listen…
I don’t want to hear a word more from you. Got it?
Mr. Tobechukwu!
[in Pidgin] These are the people you want to rehabilitate.
You understand? Do what you have to do.
Listen attentively.
These ones are chronic drug addicts.
-No lies told. -Do you understand?
Over to you. Go on.
Photographer.
-Make sure you use your mask. -[leader] Go ahead.
They have very bad breath.
-Move back. -Are you crazy?! Fool.
-[leader] Take them. -Move back. Go this way.
[light music playing]
[tuts] Brother.
[in Igbo] I know it’s going to work out.
-[brother concurs] -[door shuts close]
Alright. Send this one.
-[in Igbo] My sweetheart. -Yes babe.
I want to go and get ready to leave for Mom’s house.
-Okay. No problem. -[knock on door]
[in English] Who’s there? Come in.
Hello?
-Jenifa! -[door shuts]
-Oh my goodness! [squeals excitedly] -Olivia.
-[chuckles] -How are you?
-I’m good. How are you? -I’m great too.
-Hello. -Good afternoon ma.
This is my project manager at The Jenifa Foundation.
Her name is Josephine.
Oh. Hi, Josephine.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you too.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to see your husband
concerning our NGO business.
Oh, fantastic.
Come in and make yourself comfortable. Please sit.
-Thank you ma. -Sit, sit.
Would you like anything to drink?
No, we're okay. Business before pleasure.
That’s wonderful. Please, do.
-Um, I'm going to run upstairs. -Alright.
-Thank you ma. -[Olivia] Have fun. Alright. Babe.
-Later. -Alright, babe.
-Good afternoon sir. -Mr. Lobster.
[Lobster] Yes. Good afternoon.
Like I said, this is Josephine, my project manager.
And I am Jenifa of The Jenifa Foundation.
All protocols are duly observed.
With the Lobster Foundation team,
I see that you have penetrated the Ayeatura community,
which is the neighboring community to Amen Estate.
It’s very good work you are doing.
-Very good work, sir. -[Lobster] Thank you.
My project manager, Josephine,
said you making food for the masses with your outreach.
Fantastic.
That’s what we are saying, but…
you are not doing it the right way, sir.
Um…
How do you mean?
Thank you for that question.
You and your team are working with a particular boy.
He has a dreadlock hairstyle that stands erect like antennas.
It’s like when someone has an electric shock and all their hair strands stand.
Yes. His name is Jaburata.
Oh yes. He is working with us, helping us out with
getting the youths who are hooked on substances.
Trying to rehabilitate them.
I see.
-He is a wrong person. -Yes.
He is the one in charge of the sale of hard drugs in Ayeatura community.
He is wanted by the Police
because he has a chapter with us.
He ran away from Ayeatura community.
My project manager said she saw you with him.
As she told me, I sprang into action to arrest him.
We called the police and entered the community.
-The boy had fled again. -Yes.
That’s why we are here to talk to you.
-What has this got to do with us? -Sir…
He is a notorious drug peddler in the community.
He is no one to be associated with.
Exactly, sir.
Thank you so much for the information.
Alright. I…
I will definitely take note of this.
-Thank you. -Thank you too.
Very good. You are very understanding person.
Yes.
Which brings us to agenda number two
of why we are here.
You are doing a very fantastic job, Mr. Lobster.
-[Josephine] Yes. -So, sir…
We want to collaborate with you.
Oh! Collaborate with me?
-Yes. -Yes.
Sadly,
I don’t want to work with any NGO that is not registered.
-You said it. -Yes.
You asked me to register but I refused.
-It’s okay. -You don’t even have a website.
There is no structure.
-[sighs] -[Mr. Lobster tuts]
Um, you heard him right.
-Ladies-- -Um, sorry.
-Excuse me sir. With all due respect, sir. -If you would excuse me…
I need to check up on my wife.
Alright?
If you still need the drinks, they will give them to you.
Otherwise, my brother will see you to the door.
Mr. Lobster.
-Okay, um… -Mr. Lobster.
You may now take your leave, please.
You want to drag us out?
You know you need to register this your NGO.
It’s true. [exclaims]
I will.
Josephine said our NGO has to be organized and have a structure.
I didn’t think too much to it
because it’s my passion to give back.
I like to support people.
I didn't know that I have to register the NGO as a company.
You know, put a structure to it. Ah.
She says if it’s not registered with a proper structure,
international parastatals will not invest in our NGO.
Parastatals?
Yes, I mean international companies.
Such as the UNDP and the likes.
[tuts]
[in Yoruba] What are they called? UNDP…
[in Pidgin] You know the international companies I am talking about.
You mean “international organization”?
Really? Look at pot calling kettle black [chuckles]
Shege… [chuckles]
You are correcting me?
Jenifa, don’t look down on me.
As you see me now,
I have already started taking English classes.
So I can speak better English.
You don’t sound like someone
who is taking an English class. [chuckles]
You are not serious at all.
Between you and I, who is worse?
Do you really want to know?
I am not ready to take any classes in English.
Jenifa,
my spoken English can’t change.
I can’t go back to school.
People have to accept me like that.
And if they cannot accept me that way, they should let me be!

♪ The Mighty working God Jehovah has done it again ♪

-[chuckles] -[exclaims]
Lawrence Anyanwu, my darling son-in-law has blessed me with a car.
A brand new car.
-[chuckles] -[exclaims]
Do you now understand what I have been telling you? [tuts]
God will continue to bless him.
-In the morning… -Amen.
-In the afternoon… -Amen.
-And in the night. -Amen!
[mom exclaims]
Do you now understand what I have been telling you concerning that,
unfortunate foreigner you previously married?
Would he have been able to do this for me?
[tutts] Mommy…
-I’m more concerned by something else. -Really?
-[in Igbo] My dear, wait. -Okay.
Mommy, please…
-[in English] Ask her what bothers her. -Tell me.
What really bothers you?
Mommy, Lawrence is cheating.
-Cheating? -Yes, he is.
Do you remember when I told you about Angel,
the lady that lives in the estate?
-Sis… -[in Igbo] Will you keep quiet!
I knew you were going to do this.
Can’t you see how they frolic with each other whenever they are in their meetings?
-[sighs] -[hisses]
-I think you are overreacting. -[in Igbo] You're right.
[in English] She's just assisting him with
the Lobster Foundation and you know that.
Mommy…
I promise you I am not imagining things.
Do you know that everytime this girl calls
Lawrence will decide to go and take the call in the toilet downstairs.
What happened to the toilet in our room?
I think you are just exaggerating.
He was just trying to avoid suffocating you with the smell of that thing.
-[sister in Pidgin] Of course. -[chuckles] Just like your father.
Right?
[in English] He would always complain about the smell of my own.
So I started using the latrine at the backyard.
-Mommy… -Wait, sis.
Are you telling me you want Mommy to advise you
-to leave your husband? -That's it. [chuckles]
We will not bite the finger that is feeding us.
-[in Igbo] Correct. -[concurs]
[chuckles]
Please, leave me to enjoy my car…
-[chuckles] -It’s okay then. No problem.
I will get the password to all his devices.
[tuts] And when I catch him…
-That Angel-- -You will not do anything.
[in Igbo] You will not do anything.
[in English] Mommy, we stand solidly behind Uncle Lawrence…
-solidly. -[Mom] Solidly! [chuckles]
[squeals excitedly] That’s my mom.
Mommy, we have a new car.
No, no, no. That was actually beautiful.
We just need new videos for UNODC.
-[Lobster] Alright? -[Olivia breathing heavily] Lawrence!
[Lobster] Babe?
-[Olivia] Lawrence. -Let me call you back.
[Olivia breathing shakingly]
[in Igbo] What is this?
[in Igbo] What are you doing with my laptop?
[in English] Lawrence… [pants]
[in English] You have been lying to me.
[in English] Why are you going through my stuff?
[in Igbo] No! [sniffles]
[in English] Until you explain to me what this is.
You dare not!
Olivia, you have no right
to be asking me about the things I do.
I take good care of you and your family.
[in Igbo] You are always on vacation to any country of your choice.
-US today, another country tomorrow. -And so?
-You wear top designers everyday. -And so?
-You have no right to question me! -And so?
-[in Igbo] Please, what is going on? -[in English] They are children!
[in Igbo] Please, take it easy. What is going on?
[in English] I don’t want to hit you.
Brother, please don’t hit her again. Please…
If you don’t want me to hit your sister, ask her to give me my laptop.
-Please… -Give it back to him.
-Please… -[Olivia shouting]
-Leave her. Please give it to him. -[spouses grunting]
-Please give it to him. -[gasps]
Please give…
[tense music plays]
-[Jenifa exhales] [exclaims] -[in English] Wait…
Isn’t that the same Olivia
that always beat her ex-husband when she was living in Amen Estate?
Cordelia, she is now a changed person.
-Indeed. -She doesn’t deserve this thing.
[sighs]
But this guy told you that he is not interested in collaboration.
Why are you still going to his house?
Are you okay?
Should my purpose of going to his house
be the matter of concern right now?
Or it’s the fact that the man domestically abused his wife.
And the woman is in a coma at the hospital.
I have to be on this case.
Cordi. Mimi.
[Mimi] Doesn’t make sense.
[phone ringing]
[gasps] Shege is calling.
He has been calling me for ages and I don’t want to talk to him.
Why?
[in Yoruba] I am not ready for a headless conversation.
-[exclaims] -[in Pidgin] Shege talks too much.
[in English] Jenifa, why do you keep turning Shege down?
He is beginning to get too emotional with me and I don’t want that.
Okay…
Because he has gone to jail before?
[in Igbo] Right? Isn’t that so?
[in English] That’s why you don’t want to marry him?
Is he not a human being?
[Mimi] Jenifa.
I see how you brighten up when you are with him.
I see how he makes you happy.
In fact, you need to see both of them how they cheer each other up.
-They even speak their English together. -Oh, really?
-[comic music plays] -[clears throat]
-No. What I mean to say is-- -[Jenifa] You don’t have to cover it up.
-The way we speak our English together? -No.
-Jenifa, wait-- -No, Mimi.
That is exactly why I don’t want to be with Shege.
I want a man that is better than me.
A handsome, tall man, hot.
And he speaks Queen’s English.
Jenifa, marriage is not all about that.
It’s about the heart.
You said you want children, right?
You want to get married.
[in Igbo] You are getting old and still being picky.
-[in Yoruba] Are you okay, Cordi? -[tense music]
-Are you sure you are fine? -[Cordi chuckles]
You have started abusing me in Igbo language?
-I am not abusing-- -Cordi,
-respect yourself. -[Cordi] But…
[in English] Listen, we are only telling you the truth.
What is important to me right now
is to make sure Olivia gets justice
-and also comes out of her coma. -Jenifa, listen to me.
-Listen to me. -[Jenifa] Yes. What?
You are not going to meddle in how Olivia will get justice.
-Leave it to her family members. -[Cordi exclaims]
-Ah, no, no. -Okay?
I don’t trust that Lobster man.
As I speak, he refused me talking to Olivia’s sister, Ogechi.
Jenifa, it’s not up to you. Stay out of it.
-No! This man… -Yeah?
-He beat his wife… -Okay…
I want to go to the estate, tell everybody around--
No you can’t do that!
-Jenifa, you're not going to do that! -So that we-- [exclaims]
[Mr. Chairman] We are so sorry about what happened to your wife.
We are praying strongly for her speedy recovery.
-Thank you, Chairman. -Hmm.
I understand how you feel, sir.
Honestly.
And I promise you that everything'll be fine.
-Thank you. -[rude knock]
Um, Tobe…
-[in Igbo] Check who is at the door. -[Tobe] Okay.
-[door opens] -Hopefully, she will be--
-[Tobe] Jenifa. -[tense music plays]
-[Jenifa] Hello. -[Tobe exclaims]
-[door closes] -I would like to commiserate.
-[Lobster] It’s okay. -Lobster.
I’m very sorry.
-Oh, Jenifa. -Welcome.
-Hi Jenifa. -You are welcome.
-Good day everyone. -Jenifa, how are you?
I’m very well, Mr. Chairman, sir.
-[grunts] Sit. -No, no, I am fine.
I will leave soon.
Mr. Lobster.
I am very sorry about what happened to your wife.
I pray for divine healing upon her in Jesus’ name.
[in chorus] Amen.
Um…
Thank you for stopping by.
[Jenifa] Yeah.
-Aww, your child. -Thank you for stopping by.
-Oh, Freddy. -Daddy, I want to see my mommy.
[in Yoruba] It is such a pity.
[Lobster] Um… [clears throat]
Mommy will be back home soon, okay?
-[silently] What a pity. -Um…
But in the meantime,
Auntie Ogechi will soon be here
so that she can take you to go and see grandma.
Okay.
Maybe you should go and change your clothes into something else, okay?
Um, and get ready.
-Tobe, take him up and get him ready. -Okay.
Don’t worry, Tobe. Since I am here, I will take care of him.
-[in Yoruba] Meaning what? -So?
What’s your business?
Home destroyer.
May we never be replaced in our places of duty.
[sighs, tuts]
[in English] Mr. Lobster,
Please can I have a tete-a-tete with you quickly?
A tete-what?
A private chat.
Mr. Lobster.
I can see that what happened has started affecting your mood.
My father always said a parable.
He said,
"When you do something wrong,
you have to bear the responsibility.
If there is a punishment, you have to take it."
-What are you talking about? -[tense music playing]
Oh, really? You don’t understand?
I witnessed what happened,
between you and your wife, Olivia.
Jenifa, it’s--
That is why you stopped me from accompanying you to the hospital.
I had to follow.
Trailed you with my own car.
And when we got to the hospital,
when you saw I was talking to Ogechi…
As she started narrating how many times you slap your wife,
you didn’t want her to talk so you embarrassed me.
I was trying to maintain the peace in my family.
No. You were not maintaining peace.
You were maintaining pieces.
[in Yoruba] Mr. Lobster, go to the police station and report yourself.
[in English] Or else,
I will blow the information more than a vuvuzela.
[tense music]
[woman] My husband said
if I begin a trade, I won’t have time to cater to him anymore.
-Nonsense. -[Speaker chuckles]
-Did you hear that? [hisses] -[concurs]
[Speaker] You would have time for a good man.
Listen, everyone.
Having a career or a business
does not stop you from being a supportive and submissive wife.
-Exactly! Didn’t I say so? -[concurs in chorus]
[Speaker] Now, take note.
Being a submissive wife
doesn’t mean you should allow yourself
to be turned into a punching bag by any man.
[in chorus] Yes!
-[crowd murmurs] -Don’t allow it.
Don’t… allow it.
[Speaker] Women have dreams,
and our dreams are valid.
[in chorus] Yes!
You being financially independent should not be a threat to any man.
Do not dim your light
for another person’s own to shine.
[in Yoruba] Never!
[in English] Don’t dim it.
[Speaker] We women are strong.
Yes!
Women’s rights are…
-[all] Human rights! -[Jenifa] Amen.
Women’s rights are…
-[all] Human rights! -[Jenifa speaks gibberish]
Women’s rights are…
-[all] Human rights! -[speaks gibberish]
-[softly] Human rights. -[Speaker] Thank you very much.
-[Jenifa] Are you okay? -Thank you to everyone in the house.
-I will see you all same time, next week. -[Jenifa] What was it I said?
-You said-- -If I slap you!
-[applause] -Why are you correcting me?
You want to that woman to overhear you correcting me, right?
-[Timini] I'm just trying to correct you. -[Jenifa] Don’t embarrass me.
I am only protecting your interest.
I will slap you in public.
What nonsense interest are you protecting?
Hello ma.
I’m Jenifa, CEO Jenifa hair salon.
-I sent a message to you. -Oh, yes. That’s you.
-Uh, come with me. -Okay ma.
Where is Ogechi?
-Ogechi? -Yes.
She is on her way and would meet us in your office.
-Alright. This way, ma. -Okay, ma.
-Come on. This way. -Yes ma.
-[comic music plays] -Yes ma.
[Ogechi] She is my only sibling.
I don’t want anything to happen to her.
[sobs]
I know I am not supposed to do this,
but I just want her alive.
[Jenifa] Ogechi, don’t say that.
You are supposed to do this.
You are doing the right thing,
which is to bring the criminal to justice.
Okay?
Here. There you go.
[in Yoruba] Take heart.
[in English] Thank you ma.
I am really sorry about your sister.
I can relate to the pains you are going through
because I have been through them myself.
Really?
That man will not go scot-free for what he has done.
Ma, he must not go scot-free.
I, Jenifa,
I run an NGO too.
The Jenifa Foundation.
The only difference with ours is that
at The Jenifa Foundation, we empower the youth.
But me, I have zero tolerance
for domestic abuse of women.
-Because-- -Jenifa! Jenifa…
-Just… Jenifa, Jenifa… -Ma?
Allow me to do my job.
Please.
I listened to you ramble for over an hour on the phone.
Please Ogechi is here.
-Let’s move on to the next thing. -Okay.
Ogechi, we take it to the next step.
I need you two to listen to me.
-Okay. -Any man who hits his wife
will be dealt with thoroughly by the law.
-Yes! -And that takes us to the next phase,
which is reporting him to the police.
-Exactly. -I remember years ago,
Edmund, my ex-husband currently in jail…
[exclaims]
He wouldn’t stop hitting me.
[Jenifa sighs]
I couldn’t breathe a word of this to anyone because I…
I wanted to keep my marriage.
[in Yoruba] Mmh. What a pity.
And I thought he would change.
Never!
[in English] A leopard doesn’t change its spot.
-But guess what? -What, ma?
Edmund took the battering to another level.
What did he do?
[wistful music plays]
Edmund threw me!
He threw me down the balcony.
-[exclaims] -And this is the result.
[exclaims pitifully]
No wonder you are tip-toeing, ma.
-[in Yoruba] Such a pity. -[Speaker giggles]
[Ogechi] I am so sorry, ma.
-[chuckles] Don’t be sorry. -[Jenifa] It’s a lot.
I am not sorry about anything. I am not wallowing in self-pity.
-[concurs] -Rather,
I would fight for every woman who is going through such.
-[concurs] -And I would rather die
than see any human being
suffer domestic violence and abuse.
Very good.
Ogechi, we are in the right place.
Women’s right! [speaks gibberish]
Jenifa, it’s “Women’s rights are human rights.”
Women’s rights are nu… [speaks gibberish]
-Never mind, never mind. -Oh, okay.
[groans] Uh, so…
-Ogechi, I’m glad you are here. -[chair squeaks]
We would start with filing the report to the police.
My darling sister, Olivia, is a gentle soul.
[sobs]
On that fateful day,
I was at the dining table eating,
while my brother in-law, Uncle Lawrence was watching TV.
-[sniffles] -[sad music playing]
I saw my sister descend the stairs with her laptop in hand.
And all of a sudden, she just slipped and fell to the floor.
-[sad music stops comically] -No, Ogechi.
Explain properly.
Your brother in-law, Lawrence, also Lobster,
stood up while watching TV and went to
pull the laptop… Talk! Say he pushed her down.
Please let her finish.
-[exclaims] Okay sir. -Continue.
[sobs]
Auntie Jenifa happened to walk in when we were about to take her to the hospital.
That’s a lie. That’s a lie. That is not what you told us.
Ogechi?
Please sir, according to my testimony,
the statement I gave,
I was there.
I witnessed the incident myself.
-[ominous music plays] -Um…
-Ogechi, are you saying the truth? -Yes sir.
Sir, I am saying the truth. She is my sister. Why will I lie?
She is… [sobs] She is all I have.
This is preposterous!
Very preposterous, ma!
Madam Bassey.
-Your reputation precedes you… -Yes.
And I love the way you help women get justice.
Yes.
But based on your witness statement, your petition is invalid.
[exclaims] Sir, this petition will be valid.
Ogechi!
Did someone mess with your head and convinced you to lie?
I just want my sister alive.
Mr. Chairman, sir.
You are here.
I have been to your house but you weren’t home.
Did you receive my Whatsapp message?
I have been so occupied. I didn’t receive it.
Oh, I see.
What about you, Chief Mrs.? Did you also receive my message?
I did not.
[in Yoruba] What about you, Engineer?
Yes I did.
But what you wrote was baseless.
You can’t falsely accuse someone of domestic violence
without evidence or a witness to support your claims.
Exactly!
Oh Mr. Chairman, sir…
So you actually received my Whatsapp message. You just said, "Exactly!"
Is it until when things get out of control in the estate before actions are taken?
But in this situation,
there is nothing going wrong in the estate.
Okay.
So what plans do you have in handling the Lobster situation?
Whoever cursed Jenifa won’t know peace!
[scrubbing sound]
Auntie.
I want to go and get a good spray in the store.
It will make your feet better. It's in the store. I will be right back.
-Be fast. -Just put your feet back in the water.
Very soon, I'll be back.
-…fifty of the blonde hairs… -What’s happening?
[whispering] What’s happening?
James.
-Why did you scare me like that? -What's going on?
-The conversation is very serious. -Let that family be.
You should be lending your support to the family,
not tarnishing the man’s name.
How did I tarnish his image?
Please sir, I will contend with you.
I am a woman and I want to support the wife.
That is why I want to stand up for human rights
against women’s domestic violence and abuse.
Even if thirty percent don’t believe me,
seventy percent, let’s come together and rally round.
To write a petition so justice can be served against Lobster.
See how she is demonstrating like someone who is shouting Hallelujah.
-[exclaims] -[hisses] Look at Jenifa
All the energy she could be using to find a husband and have kids,
she's wasting it here.
Listen, Jenifa.
We are here to discuss something important.
Alright?
You are always unserious. So unserious.
-Too overbearing. -Restless soul.
[exclaims]
I can see that the free Happy Hour drinks
Lobster is giving all of you is blinding you to the truth.
And he put popcorn and ice-cream
at the back for your children to cloud your mind.
It’s okay, but sir,
[in Yoruba] you will get choked by the food and drinks before you!
The Happy Hour drinks and food will choke you!
-[pedicurist gasps] She's coming. -[thrilling music playing]
[hair stylist hisses]
[tense music playing]
Jesus!
Jesus. [panting]
Holy Ghost fire!
Burn you to ashes.
I rebuke every demonic spirit.
[tense music playing]
Who is this?
Mr. Lobster?
[pants]
[exclaims]
[Jenifa whispers] Holy Ghost fire.
[exclaims] It’s you.
What are you doing in my bedroom?
Looking for this?
[gasps]
What do you want?
Jenifa.
Holy Ghost fire.
-[eerie music playing] -[exclaims]
[softly] Jesus!
[sobs] Please sir.
[sobs]
Don’t shoot me. I am the “breadwinder ”of my family.
-Breadwinner! -[Jenifa sobs]
Say it. Bread. Winner.
[panting] Bread-winder. [in Yoruba] You want to eat…
-[groans] -[Jenifa sobs]
How I cannot stand your terrible English!
That’s how my tongue is.
It’s not intentional. [sobs]
As the breadwinner,
shouldn’t you focus on your family,
rather than meddling in other people’s businesses?
Jesus!
[sobs] Please.
I didn’t have to break any door to come in here.
[concurs]
So…
Imagine…
Just imagine,
what I can do to you
if you do not keep your blabbing mouth shut…
about whatever you thought you saw.
Jesus! Jesus!
[sobs]
[tense music plays]
Goodnight, Jenifa.
[sobs]
[exclaims]
Excuse me, Officer.
What are you saying?
This man barged into my room,
and threatened me with a pistol
which gave me heart palpitations.
-[sobs] -[music playing]
Yet you tell me his fingerprints can’t be found on my phone.
Officer, when Lobster was leaving,
he threw my phone at me, but I dodged it.
-[Mimi sighs] -I made sure not to touch it
till you came to pick it for investigation.
Can I ask you a question?
How did Lobster’s fingerprints disappear from my phone?
[sighs]
Rest assured, ma,
The forensics we ran on your phone was very thorough.
And based on our findings,
we can categorically state that
Mr. Lawrence Anyanwu’s fingerprints are not on your phone
[exclaims] [hisses] [sobs]
-Mimi, do you see what is happening? -Jenifa…
-I am not mad. -Jenifa…
-I am not hallucinating. -Jenifa, please calm down.
-I saw him with my naked eyes. -Please.
-Jenifa, please calm down. -Um, Jenifa…
I can imagine what you are feeling.
But you have heard the police.
And the estate security also confirmed that
there were no signs of break-in at your house.
-Really? -So, you just have to calm down.
[sniffles] Mr. Chairman, sir.
-Yes? -You are not in my shoes.
So, you are not in the position to ask me to be calm.
You’ve known me in this estate for years, even when I was a tenant.
Have I ever raised a false alarm?
I think you should be more concerned
that an estate resident is in possession of a gun.
No problem.
I leave you to your conscience.
And for you, Officers…
I understand what happened.
[sobs]
Lobster played a fast one on me.
I want to charge you
to conduct a thorough investigation
on the attack perpetrated against me in my house.
Otherwise, the battle line has been drawn.
-Jenifa. Jenifa! -[sighs] Let me be.
-Leave me alone. -Jenifa!
Excuse me.
You need to talk your friend.
Okay?
She needs to seek help.
It’s looking more like a case of mental disorder.
Such as…
schizophrenia…
paranoia…
[splutters] Excuse me, please!
That is not my friend’s portion in the mighty name of Jesus.
And all the years I have known Jenifa,
if there is something I know about her,
ist' that Jenifa never,
ever lies about anything.
Tobe.
[in Igbo] What is the meaning of that rubbish video you sent to me?
Isn’t it supposed to be a before and after?
[in English] Yes brother.
[in English] So why does he look unstable in both the before and after?
Rehabilitation process is supposed to be eight months, right?
[in Igbo] I have told you that this video is supposed
to impress the international organizations.
I have told you…
[in English] The format here
is to fake it till you make it.
We are sorry, brother. We will record another one now.
[in Igbo] You better. Do that immediately.
-[hisses] Acting like a confused human. -[phone beeps]
[tense music playing]
[in English] It’s okay.
It’s alright.
You have to be calm, alright?
[in Yoruba] My brother has lambasted me over the phone.
What is the meaning of this rubbish?
[in English] Does he look like he has been rehabilitated?
[in Yoruba] Are you okay? How dare you confront me in that tone?
[in Pidgin] You haven’t paid me my balance.
I will destroy everything here beyond repair.
Really? You haven’t paid the balance and you want him to balance?
Jokes on you. You will be dealt with now.
[in English] We don’t have time. Let’s record another video
-Lebe… -It shall be well with you.
My boss, have your seat.
-[Timini] Please, wait. Hold on. -The zip is struggling.
[Timini grunts]
You are not a victim of paranoia Neither are you schizophrenic.
Lobster played a smart one on you
-but we will get justice for you. -Lobster!
You're not schizophrenic.
Jenifa, just leave Lobster alone.
-[Jenifa] No! -Just leave him.
-[Mimi] Jenifa! -No!
-[Mimi] Look, Jenifa… -I will confront you.
-Lobster, you are a killer. -Jenifa, please. Jenifa…
-I will harass you. -Auntie Jenifa.
-[Jenifa] I don't accept this.
-[man] Take it easy. -[Mimi] Jenifa. [pants]
-Auntie Jenifa, take it easy. -We'll iron this out here today.
Auntie Jenifa, take it easy.
-Jenifa or whatever your name is called… -[exclaims]
Can you take your confused self out of the way, now!
-Angel! No. -[Angel] Get out--
Devil! That's your name.
[exclaims]
Lobster’s wife isn’t dead yet. She is only in a coma.
And you have taken over her place in his life,
under the guise that you're working together on the NGO.
-Are you okay? -[Jenifa] Is it me you're…
-[Angel] Don't come close to me! -[Mimi] Jenifa!
-[Jenifa exclaims] -[maid] If you're not fine, you must rest.
Um, Miss Jenifa…
Why are you harassing me?
I mean…
All I have ever done since I got here
-is to support and care for people. -[exclaims]
And God in heaven knows I mean well for you and everyone else in this estate.
You who pointed a gun at me?
I pointed a gun at you?
[Jenifa exclaims]
I haven't held a gun all my life.
I just fainted. God will punish you all.
-Auntie Jenifa, just leave him. -I can't…
-I can’t do this with you. -You!
-Auntie Jenifa, just ignore him, please. -Just let her disgrace herself.
-She's raving mad. -[Timini] Please.
-[Jenifa] Huh?! -[Mimi] Jenifa, don't mind her!
-[Timini] My boss is not mad! -I tried to warn you.
-Auntie Jenifa, please. -[maid in Yoruba] Please, Auntie Jenifa.
-My boss is not mad! -[Jenifa exclaims]
-[Jenifa] Go and break the glass! -[Mimi screams] Jenifa!
-[tyres screech] -[Mimi squeals]
[screams]
[Shege] Breathe in…
and breathe out.
[inhales] Breathe in…
Breathe out.
[sniffles] One more time,
-Jenifa breathe in… -Shege…
It’s okay. I am not doing the breathing exercise again.
I have done it like 20 times already.
Baby, I just want you to calm down.
It’s a good therapy.
[inhales] Why will the Chairman tell my friend, Mimi
that I, Jenifa is suffering
[sighs] from schizophrenia and paranoia.
[exclaims] I reject it for you.
I looked up the meaning of schizophrenia on Google.
What I saw was
a mental condition affecting a person’s ability to think and act normally.
I think it’s related to bipolar disorders.
Can you imagine that?
[hisses] [sobs] Shege…
Lobster pointed a gun at me.
He could have shot me and got away with it.
Yet no one believed me.
He threatened me.
That’s why I want to come down to Lagos and deal with him.
No, you don’t have to stress yourself. It’s okay.
You're running a business there and I don’t want it to suffer.
My dear, the business can wait.
I can put work on a hold for now.
[exclaims] I won’t cost me a dime.
The police say they are on it.
[tuts]
But I have a feeling that crazy Lobster
[sobs]
and has tampered with the evidence
because his…
fingerprints are not on my phone.
-[hisses] -He must have made use of hand gloves.
I thought so too. He possibly wore gloves.
[tuts] Jenifa, I want you to calm down.
[in Yoruba] You are staying at Mimi’s house now, right?
[in English] I want you to remain there for now.
Remain relaxed and calm.
Don’t worry, Shege. I will be fine.
[sniffles] Thank you.
[yawns]
Are you tired?
[tuts] Yes, I am very tired.
Are you ready to go to bed?
Yes. I want to sleep, my dear.
Don’t go to bed yet, Shege.
Stay with me
on the phone till my mood gets better and I sleep off.
Anything for my baby.

I am so sorry ma,
but your name is not on the list of those eligible to visit Mrs. Olivia Anyanwu.
Really?
She is a very good friend of mine.
Do you know what?
It could be no bother at all.
-I could do a quick in-and-out. -I am sorry ma.
But that will be against the instructions left behind by her family, ma.
I apologise.
That’s not a problem. I understand.
[tense music playing]
Hello, Madam Bassey.
Any update?
Have you seen Olivia?
No. I haven’t been granted access to her ward.
Okay. What about Ogechi?
I haven’t seen her as well.
[exhales] But I have seen Lobster.
You saw Lobster? [exclaims]
I wish I can be there.
Ma, if not for the Eko Fest
Carnival happening today and my salon,
Jenifa Hair being the official hair stylist,
I would have come over there and disgrace him.
No. Just leave it to me.
I know it’s going to be really tough
to get the truth out of Ogechi
but by hook or by crook, we will get this done.
Yes. Ma…
asides getting the truth from Ogechi, I have an idea.
A plan.
If we can hatch this plan,
[tuts] ma,
it will really go a long way.
No.No.No.
Just Leave it all to me.
Let me just think.
I need to clear my head and get some things straight.
Okay, ma.
Oh, yeah. Yes.
Mmh. Jenifa…
Let me speak to you later.
-Thank you. -Alright. Later.
[exclaims] [tuts]
[phone beeps]
Ogechi. [groans] Ogechi.
Ogechi. Just a minute.
[chuckles] Just a quick minute. Yes.
[indistinct chatter]
What are you doing here?
It’s a hospital.
Anybody can be here.
Ogechi.
I know that Lobster threatened you and that’s why you changed your testimony.
But you need to remember, this is your sister.
She is your flesh and blood.
You need to clear your conscience, step forward and--
Mind your business. [breathes heavily]
[tense music]
[upbeat Fuji music playing]
[Jenifa] Let‘s be snappy. Let’s be fast.
We still have a lot to do.
-How far? Have you finished? -Yes ma.
Move on to the next person.
James, pick up the pace with that manicure!
These ladies still have to go for face painting.
I am trying my best to hurry but this lady is restless.
You are very rude!
-Calm down. -See your mouth.
[Fuji music continues]
Be fast, please.
There is no time.
Who is that?
[tuts] Please, who is covering my eyes? I am busy. Who is this?
James, who is the person?
-It’s-- -Shh. Shh.
-Who… -[squeals excitedly]
-Toyo-baby. -[chuckles]
-How are you? Aww, me too. -Jenifa, I’m so happy to see you.
-[squeals excitedly] -Toyo-baby, how are you?
-James, I am fine. How are you? -I am doing fine.
-[squeals excitedly] -Toyo…
You abandoned me. [exclaims]
I call you but you never answer. You avoid me.
Is it because you are now a devoted christian?
I am not a sinner.
That’s not it, Jenifa. I've just been busy with work, family.
And now I am the head of the choir department in church.
-Really? -So, just work, ministry and family.
I understand.
But it doesn’t mean you should… I just assumed you were avoiding me.
No. I can never avoid you, Jenifa.
That’s why as soon as I got here and they told me
that Jenifa Hair is in charge of Eko Fest,
I just came running.
-[exclaims] Thank you. -[laughs out heartily]
[Fuji music continues]
[Timini] Auntie Jenifa…
-Timini, how far? -[squeals excitedly] Oh, Timini!
[exclaims] Auntie Toyosi.
-How are you? -I’m fine, thank you.
-It’s so good to see you. -It’s so good to see you too.
-It’s been a long while. -Yes, it has.
-[Jenifa] What's up? -Yes.
So Auntie Jenifa, I 've confirmed that Lagbaja is still performing.
-[Timini chuckles] -[squeals excitedly]
-I thought he has finished performing. -No. He is still performing.
Fantastic! Everyone, let’s go and watch Lagbaja perform.
-Yes. -James, hurry up with what you are doing.
So we can go watch Lagbaja’s performance.
I am not going anywhere. I have a date.
You think I want to send you on an errand.
[in Yoruba] Lazy man.
[in English] Toyo, come and hangout with me.
I know Lagbaja is not a gospel artiste.
-[Toyo chuckles] -You know…
But you love him. He sings really good music.
[exclaims] Do you remember you and Soji’s favourite song?
[singing Lagbaja's song] ♪ Wherever I go… ♪
Um, it’s already 6:30pm. Would he still be performing?
No, no. That’s fine. He is performing into the night
We will join the parade, take pictures and enjoy ourselves.
Okay. Let me go pack my things.
Okay. Go and pack. Good! Brilliant.
I'll go… Come on!
[upbeat music playing]
Oh my God. This carnival is
-is so colorful. -[Jenifa concurs]
[excited chatter]
Auntie Jenifa, let’s take a selfie.

[upbeat music continues]
[excited chatter]
[indistinct chatter]
Auntie Jenifa
I think you should keep your phone safe.
There are some funny looking guys around here.
Where are they?
I didn’t see anybody. But Timini,
in this Lagos, there is security.
Oh my God, this is so much fun!
[Toyo] Jenifa! [laughs
It's really great.
Jenifa is sweet!
-[ominous music plays] -[excited chatter]
-Toyo… -Jenifa.
-[Toyo] Jenifa! -Yes?
-What is it? -Who is this?
Auntie Jenifa, it’s Lobster.
-[Moyo screams] -[Timini] It’s Lobster.
-[upbeat music playing] -[Jenifa] Lobster!
[tense music ]
[indistinct chatter]
And you are still not back?
What are you saying? Does it take five hours to eat?
[tuts] Get here to me.
[Jenifa] Toyo…
Hello Toyo. Please call me back as soon as you receive my Whatsapp voice message.
I have tried calling you. Are you okay?
Please relax. You are not the target.
[breathing heavily] It’s me they are after.
It’s Lobster.
He is the one that sent those boys to attack me.
I meddled in someone else’s business that’s why they are after me, Toyo.
[sobs] I’m backstage.
I even tried calling Timini but he is not answering his phone.
I will send his contact to you on Whatsapp. Call him.
I want you both to relax. They are not after you. Don’t run.
I am the target.
[panting] Toyo, please…
Toyo, I have to leave. I think I can see one of them.
The person I am seeing looks like one of the thugs.
He is the one. Jesus! [exclaims]
Guys… Guys, let’s go on stage.
-Okay… -It’s “Konko Below” time.
-Okay, okay… -Where are the others?

Rose, Taylor… am I lying?
[sighs] I’m very sorry.
-Please. -You are very sorry.
After ruining the dance routine.
I don’t mean to ruin the dance routine.
It’s one man, Lobster.
He sent assassins to chase me and my friend, Toyo.
-[Jenifa] All of us-- -Go and take the costume off her!
-We have been on the run all day. -Move this woman inside.
Please let me talk to my PA.
-I said you should move this woman in. -[Jenifa] Timini…
If you can hear me, come to Freedom Park.
-All along, I thought it was you on stage. -[Jenifa] Timini!
-[Cordelia] Jenifa! -[breathes heavily]
I told you to stay away from Lobster's business but you don’t listen.
[in Igbo] You are stubborn!
[sobs] I also said it too but Auntie Jenifa will not listen.
If not that I maneuvered faster than Flash
I would have been dead meat by now.
I don’t even know how I want to recover from this trauma.
-[sobs] -Timini,
I have been apologizing to you.
[sobs] Please forgive me
for dragging you into this mess.
I don’t mean to make you a target.
Okay? It’s just that… [tuts]
I want to fulfill my purpose of being a human rights activist.
-[Cordelia] Activist, my foot! -[comic music playing]
Is it until you die, Jenifa?
Cordelia, stop all this. It’s not fair.
-Take it easy. -[Jenifa sobs]
Timini, do you want to have some chocolate?
No, I am fine. I just want to go home.
[sniffles] Don’t worry. I am safe.
[Soji] No evil shall come near your dwelling place.
Amen.
Okay. Don’t worry. My driver will take you home.
But please, have some hot chocolate
[sniffles] Okay. [sobs]
-I don’t want it. -Amen.

-Toyo… -Toyosi.
I’m so sorry.
-[Toyo sniffles] -How are you? Are you okay?
I think I am better now. Thank you.
You all should beg Toyo on my behalf.
[sobs]
Toyo, I know I have messed up.
We have been friends for a long time, and we haven’t seen each other in a while.
And now that we have reconnected,
I dragged you into my world of troubles.
I don’t mean to involve you in the struggles between Lobster and I.
It’s just my passion.
-Please beg Toyosi on my behalf. -Toyo, please.
-Toyosi. -[Igbo] Please.
I promise you. [sobs] I will never do this again.
-[in Igbo] You will still do it again. -[Toyo] Okay.
-[Toyo in English] Jenifa, it’s okay. -[Timini sips noisily]
[sighs]
Thank you.
I’m very sorry.
It’s okay, Jenifa. I am not angry at you.
You didn’t do anything wrong.
What you did was right.
You always help people.
I've known you to be like this.
-Don’t stop doing what you do. -[exclaims]
[in Pidgin] Toyo, you are encouraging her?
-[in Igbo] Jenifa will still repeat it. -Cordelia, can you stop this?
-Stop it. -Stop cursing me in Igbo.
[Cordelia] I am not cursing you.
-Toyo… -[Timini sips]
-Thank you. -[sniffles] I have spoken to my husband.
He is not in the country and my children are staying with my mother.
I will stay with you.
[sniffs] I will be there for you.
-Let’s go through this together. -Toyo…
-[sobs] -You want to stay here with me?
Yes. That’s if Mimi doesn’t mind.
No, that’s fine by me.
You can stay here with me. My home is open to you all.

Even in my trying times, Toyo…
[sobs]
Thank you, Toyo.
[Timini] How about this one?
And two cartons of moose.
Okay.
Write it down.
Then…
[phone rings]
[exclaims]
Hello, Auntie Jenifa. Good evening.
Timini, how far? Have you left the salon?
No ma. We are just about rounding off the inventory.
You are still at the salon?
Thank you very much. You are a very hard-working boy.
Did you see the reply
for the bridal hairstyling gig
we were contracted for from Ghana?
Oh, yes. I have.
In fact, I saw your reply and was wondering who helped--
Who did what?
Big mouth.
You wondered who replied because the grammar was too smooth?
It’s Toyo that replied on my behalf.
Oh. [sighs] I thought as much.
Shut your mouth.
Listen, Timini…
This contract from Ghana is very sudden.
So, I have decided
To go down there myself.
I don’t want us to miss it. The money they want to pay is a lot.
In fact, I think the couple are not organized.
They don’t have a makeup artist.
I was the one that suggested Toyo to them.
I am not even sure if she is a run-away bride.
So, Toyo is going with us and we have to be well prepared.
Us?
Sam is fully booked. We don’t have any other hairstylist.
No one has applied for the vacancy.
You are the one that will assist me.
[tuts] Auntie Jenifa, I can’t follow you.
My stomach hurts.
In fact, from here, I am going straight to the hospital.
You are refusing to go with me because your stomach hurts.
I saw you on social media eating three wraps of pounded yam.
Oh. [splutters] No, ma. That was just for content, ma.
I didn’t actually eat it.
[hestitates] I only did it for The Gram.
[in Yoruba] Keep deceiving yourself.
It’s content.
I know what you are trying to do.
Just because I was chased at the carnival
and also Lobster’s target,
that’s why you want to disassociate yourself from me.
so they don’t target you again.
No ma, it's not like that.
-You are a may-weather friend. -[light music playing]
That is what you are.
Fair-weather friend.
If I slap you through the phone!
You are correcting me.
[in Yoruba] Get off from my call.
-[in English] Josephine. -Yes ma.
If Amen Estate residents
believe that because they are sponsoring us,
you know, we don’t have hope anywhere…
It’s okay. Life goes on.
If they blacklist us,
God will continue to come through for us.
-Amen. -In the meantime…
-I will take some money out of my savings… -[exclaims]
for you to gather the youth together,
and organise another outreach
to make sure we fulfill our purpose.
-Aww, ma… -[wistful music plays]
This is why I respect you so much.
You are so determined and you fight for what you believe in.
The Jenifa Foundation have to make it.
We do. [chuckles]
Oh. Hello ma.
-Hi. -Toyo.
You have finished packing.
-I didn’t realise that. -Yes. It’s okay.
Okay. Alright.
-We will take our leave now. So… -Okay.
-[Mimi] Are all the bags out now? -Yes.
-Alright. Great.
-Oh. Hello ma. -Hi.
Auntie, I will take my leave now.
-Alright. -Have a safe flight.
Alright darling. Take care of yourself.
-And you too. -Okay. Bye.
-Bye! -Bye-bye dear. See you. Well done.
Thank you ma.
Jenifa, your security guys are outside. They are taking you to the airport.
You hired a security to escort us to the airport?
Yes. Jenifa, I want you to feel safe.
I don’t want you scared.
-Thank you. -You are welcome.
I love you.
-[Airplane engine] -[upbeat music plays]
[Adaku] Yes! Yes, your girl is in town!
I'm going to paint this place…
[exclaims]
Adaku, what is your problem? Can't you see that…
Please, I am so sorry.
-It's okay. Just be careful. -[exclaims]
What is your problem?
You know I wouldn't have brought you along if not for circumstances.
Jenifa, we are abroad. Can't you see my steeze?
-What nonsense steeze? -Can't you see my steeze?
Begging for biscuits on the flight!
Beautiful girls, we are out here in Ghana!
[Adaku] Adaku has arrived!
-[Adaku in Twi] Welcome! -[Toyosi laughing]
-Adaku, you are a handful. -Your girl is in town.
[Hooting excitedly]
[Jenifa] You are very annoying.
-Go away. -Jenifa, see "Jenifa Hair" there.
They have come to pick us.
Miss Jenifa. [in Twi] Welcome.
-Thank you very much. -Thank you.
-How was the flight? -[exclaims excitedly]
-[Adaku exclaims] Yeah! -Adaku!
-I am sorry, Jenifa. -[Jenifa] Please move.
[hoots excitedly]
-[machine beeping] -[wistful music playing]
[machine continues beeping]
[eerie music playing]
I knew it!
-Yes! -[Stuttering]
-Yes! I caught him! -[alarm buzzes]
-What is going on here? -He is trying to kill his wife!
He is trying to kill his wife!
-He is injecting something… -What's going on here?
Doctor, this man is trying to kill his wife.
He is injecting something into her IV line.
-[Lobster] That's a lie. -Have you locked it?
-I've done that, Doctor. -[Madam Bassey] I got him on tape.
She doesn't know what she is talking about.
I do know what I am talking about.
[Doctor] Her vitals look okay.
[Bassey] You are going down, Lobster. You are going down.
[chuckles sinisterly]
-[Doctor] Mr. Lawrence! -[Madam Bassey] Yes.
Why would you…
Call Security right now! Call Security!
-Yes! -[nurse] Yes, Doctor.
-[lively Ghanaian music playing] -[birds chirping]
[Jenifa] Oh wow!
This place is beautiful!
-[exclaims] See beauty! -[Toyo] Oh my God, this is beautiful.
Seems the soon-to-be couple are wealthy.
-I think so. They must be very rich. -[Jenifa] To bring us here.
-Yes, may the good Lord bless them. -Amen!
If they are so wealthy, we will help them spend their wealth.
Look at your mouth. You will help them spend it.
That is what you are known for.
-[Adaku] See beauty. -[Toyo] It's so beautiful.
-[Adaku and Toyo squeal excitedly] -Yeah, they're very rich.
[excited]
[laughter]
[singing amidst laughter]
[man] Hello, good afternoon.
-Hello. -Hi.
You are welcome to Safari Valley Resort.
-Thank you. -You are welcome.
My name is Jenifa.
My name is Mensah.
Hi, I'm Toyosi.
-Lovely to meet you. -My name is Adaku.
Lovely to meet you.
So I will be your tour guide, taking you around the resort and to your destination.
-[Jenifa] Thank you very much. -[Toyo] Thank you.
-[in Twi] Oh Mensah, well done. -Adaku, you are flirting with a man.
-No, I am only telling him, "well done." -[in English] Kindly have your seats.
Toyo-baby, go and sit behind with Jenifa.
-Wow. Adaku! -What's the matter?
When did you learn Twi language?
-[Toyo laughs] -I acclamatize easily.
Instead of you to correct her, you are laughing.
-Adaku, please. -Mensah.
-Yes, please -Over to the resort, please.
-Sure. -[Toyo laughing]
[Jenifa] You are laughing like you inhaled laughing gas.
Everything amuses you.
[Toyo] I can't help it.
[Jenifa] Keep going, please.
[Adaku] Jenifa, don't push me. It is looking at me!
[Jenifa] They are staring at us. Is it coming for us?
-[Mensah] No, it's not coming to you. -[Toyo] Hello zebra.
[Jenifa exclaims] Please move faster. They said its kick can kill a human being.
Exactly. The force of the kick can kill, so you should…
Jenifa, don't move quickly. You're moving too quickly.
[Mensah] So you don't… you have to stand behind them.
-[Toyo] Wow. -[Adaku exclaims]
Oh my God!
-This place is so beautiful, Jenifa. -Toyo.
[exclaims] This people are wealthy!
Let us relax and feel at home.
-[Jenifa] Hello. -This is how it should be.
[woman] You are welcome to Lane 1 Canal of Safari Valley Resort.
-Safari Valley. -Thank you.
-[woman] You are welcome.
Toyo, they even acknowledged my name.
They know you are a very important personality.
You are an important personality.
[excited squeals]
See love!
[delightful exclamations]
I love you, Jenifa.
Is this how much they love you here?
They must really love you.
Jenifa…
-I love you forever. -[emotional music]
Shege!
Always…
-on my mind, -[Toyo squeals]
Shege.
[exclaims]
From the beginning, I knew…
[Shege] Your smile makes it easy tripping for you.
It's like I'm walking on ice.
If falling for you is a crime, I am willing to do it more than twice.
Let the whole world judge me,
I am willing to pay the price
You were never just my crush
You are my life
I desire you from the bottom…
From the root of…
-[comic music plays] -[exclaims] Rex, I forgot…
[in Pidgin] This guy has forgotten his lines.
Baby, forget about Literature.
I love you so much.
-[woman] Aww. -Will you marry me?
-Yes! -Yes!
Yes, Jenifa, yes!
Yes!
[excited squeals]
[Jenifa] No!
I will say no again and again!
-No to Shege's proposal! -[Toyo] Jenifa, it is enough.
[Jenifa] Toyo, even if Adaku is idle, you have a job in Lagos.
Why would someone trick me
all the way from Lagos to Ghana for a fake proposal?
-We got an anonymous call for hairstyling. -We did…
-Jenifa! -Don't annoy me!
-He only wanted to surprise you. -Hear him out.
If someone tells you about a surprise, it’s no longer a surprise.
If he reveals the surprise… Adaku, leave me alone!
Look, Toyo, book the next flight to Lagos.
-We are leaving. -[Toyo scoffs]
Jenifa,
-calm down. -[Jenifa hisses]
-Nonsense! -Let’s eat at a restaurant.
Maybe when you are well-fed,
your temper will be reduced.
Look, Adaku, I am not hungry.
Listen to me.
If you enter their restaurant, you will pay.
-What is it? -[dramatic music playing]
-Hello, babe. -Why are you following me?
Babe, I am sorry.
I am sorry for catching you unawares.
I just wanted to speed things up.
We've known each other for long, since 2014.
I thought, at least…
Let’s finalize things.
Shege, what's your problem?
You tricked me all the way from Lagos to Ghana, just for a proposal.
I've told you severally not to force things between us.
Shege, I have a job. You know how busy I am.
You brought me here.
That was how you took yams
to my parents at Aiyetoro.
Do you want to do introduction, Shege?
Why are you forcing it?
No, you know it is important to be time-conscious.
I have to show that I mean business.
I just think now is a good time to grab the bull by the horn.
Oh, the bull by the horn?
The horn of that bull will tear your trousers.
You know what, Jenifa? I think you need to calm down, okay?
Do you know how much money we spent to put that stuff together?
You said I should calm down.
Please, am I wearing boxing gloves? Did I attack you?
-Ah, baby. -[hisses]
This is my first time of meeting you physically.
What is your problem?
Okay, let me make explain something to you.
It’s like you don’t understand.
I don't believe in chasing a woman like she's gold.
-Shege… -There are many women out there.
Do you know how much money was spent to put the proposal together?
-Jenifa, you should calm down, okay? -Toyo…
It’s not like we haven’t see babes before.
It’s not even your type that should be behaving this way.
-You're rejecting a good proposal. -[exclaims] Not my type?
Please, do I have faeces on my body?
There are plenty babes in Ghana, Shege, why are you behaving in this manner?
Shege, can you see the sort of friend you have?
-He is insulting me. -You are supposed to be assisting me.
Are you a rascal?
-Pamper her. No worries. I'm leaving. -What's the update on the tickets?
-There are no flights available. -I don't have time for all this.
There are no flights available?
Toyo, we will go by bus. Book the bus tickets now.
Listen to me, you cannot travel by midnight.
I can get you somewhere to pass the night.
You and who? Toyo, book an instant short-let apartment.
[Rex] There are many fishes in the sea. Let's leave.
[in Yoruba] Imagine that! How dare he insult me?
Look how long he is, like a pole.
-[Rex] Please, don't insult me. -What's wrong with you?
-You look like a mop stick! -That's enough already.
-[Shege] Come on now. -It's not as though you're pretty anyway.
-Where is the driver? -[Toyo] Mensah!
[Jenifa] Mensah, please come.
[in English] Please, Mr. Mensah Can you take us to the reception, please?
Thank you very much.
-[Rex] Shege. -Knock them out of the way!
-Let’s talk about this, please. -After you watched your friend insult me?
-Your friend who looks like a mopstick! -Okay, you want to hit me?
-Me against you? -You unapologetic thing!
-Unfortunate person! -Ah, me?!
You won't ever find it again.
[exclaims in disgust]
Did you eat an animal alive?
What is it?
Toyo, if you percieve the odour of Adaku's faeces…
The odour has spoilt everywhere upstairs.
I asked her if she ate an animal alive.
[chuckles] I can't stand you and Adaku.
-[hisses] I can't sleep in that room. -[door knock]
Toyo, don’t open the door. You should ask who is there first.
Are you in Nigeria?
Shege?
-What's your problem? -[ominous music playing]
[in Yoruba] Oh God! I have bitten more than I can chew.
[in English] Shege.
Are you a monitoring spirit?
Were you sent to me?
Wait, how do you know this short-let that we are in?
I gave him the address.
He sent me a DM and I just had to send it to him.
Toyo, why?
-I'm sorry. -Is what Shege did good?
You are encouraging bad behaviour.
Jenifa, please
I want you to forgive him.
The Bible says that you should not let the sun go down on your anger.
Matthew 18 verse 22 says we should forgive others seventy times seven times.
Toyo, must you back everything up with Scripture?
You have to be…
[Adaku] Jenifa, what is it?
Take it easy on this boy.
This is Shege.
Shege is a good guy.
Shege, you know we’ve been on this matter for a long time.
Right from when we were all at Nikky O.
When we were still hustling as stylists.
Ah! Jenifa, such is life.
It is important to always upgrade in life.
Look at Toyo-baby,
who has upgraded from a single lady to a married woman with children.
Even I, Adaku, have upgraded.
Even though I am not married, at least I have given birth.
Chibuzor's mother, you know.
You too should upgrade.
-Even if you don't want to marry him. -Adaku.
Relax.
At least, have a child
so people can call you a mother.
[in Yoruba] Before you paint your lips like that of a clown.
Listen to the words you are uttering with your mouth.
Look at me very well, I want to be a wife and a mother but I am not desperate.
-Yes, I will wait for my time. -[comic music playing]
[hisses] Nonsense.
What is it?
Where are you both going?
[Toyo] Let me take my bag upstairs.
Look at them.
You are excusing yourself.
[in English] Baby.
I'm sorry if you are concerned about coming to Ghana and meeting a proposal.
It is because I love you.
Leave the past behind, I'm a changed man.
I am no longer lost, I’ve found myself.
And if it's about my spoken English,
I think we are equals.
What is the meaning of that?
That I can’t speak English?
No, I didn't mean it that way.
So what do you mean?
I'm working hard, being focused and making efforts.
So I can be deserving of you.
Keep polishing yourself.
[in English] I don't want you to see me as an illiterate.
-I have an English language tutor. -[soft piano music playing]
-Really? [grunts] -Yes.
My dear, think about our past days.
We are friends.
Don't force it.
Let it happen naturally.
This thing we are talking about did not start today.
I remember the first time I set my eyes on you.
I knew then and I know now, you are the only one for me.
Well done, poet.
Baby, I don't want you to think about the things of this world.
Look, Shege…
-Allow a responsible man take care of you. -[sneers]
I want to take charge of your future.
[tuts] Shege, leave me alone.
[in Yoruba] Don’t talk me to death.
-Sulia Jenifa Adedeji. -[soft music stops abruptly]
[exclaims] Don't ever call me Sulia again. My name is Jenifa.
-[ominous music plays] -Look me in the eyes.
I, Oluwasegun Otaobayomi Olorunnioje-Richard…
And tell me you don't love me.
And if you can say it,
I will leave this place and never contact you again for life.
It's okay.
Shege…
[wistful music plays]
[Soji] But why would they involve you in all of this?
This is a waste of time.
No, it's okay. I'm not even offended.
I think he did it out of love for Jenifa.
And he has also promised to pay for the services.
So it's not a loss.
[sighs] That's fair enough. It's so kind of him.
I know. Shege is so kind.
I'm just so happy
that Jenifa has finally accepted to be with Shege.
I can't wait for them to get married
and have kids
and just live together happily.
Because Jenifa deserves everything good in this life.
And I pray God will perfect everything that concerns them
in the mighty name of Jesus.
[sighs excitedly] I am so happy for them.
[Soji] Well, different strokes for different folks.
-[delighted humming] -[soft music playing]
[Jenifa] Adaku.
Why are you so greedy?
[Adaku] Jenifa, please.
Allow me…
Allow me to enjoy the food that our beautiful in-law here provided.
Adaku, it has not reached the in-law level.
[exclaims] It has reached.
She is prophesying into our future.
My dear, very much so.
Let me tell you…
You see, after this kind of food,
there is only one expectation I have.
-[tense music] -You will have a passionate intercourse
that would lead to the birth of twin babies.
Adaku, it has not gotten to that level, please.
Jenifa, please I am begging you, Sister Dear.
Don't be a stingy person.
Be generous.
Thank you so much, Adaku.
Don't worry, I've already gotten you a Ghanaian lover.
-[exclaims] -Of course.
-A dude? I am ready for him. -Yes.
I’ve already learnt the language they speak here.
I will just say,
[singing in Twi] ♪ Adaku, welcome ♪
["Never Far Away" by Lagbaja playing]
I love you, Jenifa.
[sighs] I love you too, Shege.
But I am just scared.
What happened?
[tuts]
I am scared you may return to being an internet fraudster.
[in Yoruba] I have told you. I no longer live that lifestyle.
[in English] I’ve left that life behind.
["Never Far Away" continues]
Ah, Shege, no.
-Shege, please. -What?
Remember I'm celibate.
-Hmm? -Shege, please.
Mmh? Let's continue…
enjoying ourselves but I'm celibate. Please let's stop.
[frustrated] Celibate?
[music fade out]
Yes, I have dropped the package with your boy.
Please don’t forget me.
[exclaims] You know it's not easy to secure this.
[man] Don't worry. An agreement is an agreement.
So when are you travelling?
Immediately I leave here, I will pack my belongings and relocate abroad.
-Are you relocating so soon? -You said?
Didn’t you tell me is easier to move from Ghana to America?
Exactly.
That is the way. That is what I want to do
Who are you talking about?
So, Jenifa?
[tuts] Please!
She is not a good person.
You want me to serve her for the rest of my life?
[tuts] Please forget about her.
Exactly.
This is the best news I’ve heard.
Olivia is out of coma.
[in Yoruba] Thank you, Lord.
[in English] And the criminal, Lobster, has finally been arrested.
Apparently,
the reason he pushed her that hard leading to
the coma
was because she found out
he was running a fake NGO,
and she confronted him about it.
I knew it!
This boy is not innocent.
She found out that he makes
fake [grunts] "before" and "after" transformational videos
to send to international organizations to ask for grants.
No wonder this boy is collaborating with Jaburata.
It is over, Amen Estate residents!
[laughs]
"We want to invest in Lobster."
[in Yoruba] It has happened now.
[in English] Jenifa,
I want to appreciate you
for coming up with the plan on apprehending Lobster.
I came up with a plan to apprehend Lobster
but you accepted the plan.
Madam Bassey,
it’s not everyone you tell something that agrees with it.
Ah, Jenifa. [inhales]
When you get back,
one more thing you have to do.
We need to get you an English tutor.
You want to get me an English tutor?
No problem ma, I will speak to you later.
[laughing]
English tutor.
[in Yoruba] That will be in another lifetime.
[romantic music playing]
Shege!
[Shege] Baby.
Shege.
Look…
-Ah, baby! -What?
You look so spicy.
Come here. Hold me, my dear.
-[sniffs deeply] -Shege…
Baby, the scent of your "odour" is like a mixture of pineapple and lavender.
What do you mean by odour?
Baby, turn around for Daddy.
-[grumbling] Oh, Shege. -Delicious damsel.
I only dressed up for content.
It's nothing serious.
You are such a perfect damsel.
I love it so much.
You even made breakfast!
Of course. Don't you trust your baby?
-[Jenifa huckles] -[knock]
Who is that?
Are you expecting anybody?
[clicks]
-Yes? -Hey, bro.
-What’s up? -Hello?
I am sorry to disturb your rest.
The other time, I was just walking around the neighbourhood
and I kinda threw my stuff in here.
And I am here to get it.
I think you are mistaken. Check the next compound.
-No, no, I… -[door slams shut]
Shege, who is that?
Just some persons who lost their way.
Okay, let us go and eat.
-[loud banging] -[sighs]
[tense music]
-[Jenifa] Who is that? -Move!
-[exclaims] Sir!
[man 2] Go down on your knees! Go down!
-[Jenifa in Pidgin] What's happening? -Go down!
-Shege, what is happening? -I don't know these men.
-[man] Shut up! -Shege, did you offend anyone?
-I swear, I don't know them. -Now, listen.
My friend threw his stuff here and we are here to get it, okay?
We are not here to harm you, so shut up.
Keep an eye on them.
Any amount, sir.
[door forcefully opens]
[door slams shut]
[shaky breath]
[drawers clatter]
[zipper opening]
[objects rattling]
[wardrobe thuds open]
[objects rattling]
This is a misunderstanding. I don't know these people. I promise.
-Baby, I promise. -Shege.
-Please sir. -Shh.
Don't worry. It's okay.
I can’t find anything.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
-Did you search everywhere? -I ransacked everywhere.
Sir, I think you have the wrong address.
-[cocks gun] -[exclaims]
Where is the snow?
Snow?
It does not snow in Ghana. Shege, I am confused.
-[thud] -[Jenifa screams]
-[Shege] Don't hit her! -You want to fight?
Go down!
-Sir, please this is a misunderstanding. -Shege, what do they mean by snow?
Baby, snow means hard drugs.
Hard drugs!
Shege, are you into hard drugs?
I swear on my life, I have no idea.
[Jenifa] Sir, we know nothing about hard drugs.
Sir, please I have a little suggestion.
I am a brother to you. [in Ghanaian slang] My guy.
-Who is your brother? -[Shege] I am sorry, sir.
I will conduct a serious investigation.
If I find your product anywhere, sir, I swear on my life to contact you.
Please just leave your number with me.
-This guy thinks we are playing. -[Jenifa] We don't…
We don't know anything, this is just a short-let.
-[cocks gun] -[spluttering] I will--
-[knock] -Who is that?
Answer!
Who is that?
[Adaku] It's I, Adaku.
Adaku, my friend.
[stuttering] I told you they are here on a holiday, sir.
-[stuttering] -Get up.
-Okay sir. -Move.
Okay sir. [panting]
Okay sir.
[tense music playing]
[door opens]
[exclaims] Jenny-baby!
Shege's baby. See how dolled up you are for your boyf--
On your knees!
Move.
Give me your bag! Move!
[Adaku in Pidgin] What is going on?
-[objects clatter] -[shaky breath]
-Where is my stuff? -[Adaku] I don't know what you mean.
-[Jenifa] They mean hard drugs. -[Adaku exclaims]
They said they tossed it inside this building.
-Did you take it? -[Adaku exclaims] My God! Hard drugs!
Please I have no knowledge of your hard drugs.
My brother, you should ask these two persons.
Jenifa brought me to Ghana.
If anyone should know anything about drugs, it’s definitely them.
They are accommodating me.
Adaku!
I am not telling a lie. Didn't you bring me here?
Please sir, we don’t know anything, we are innocent.
Sir, they are just here on a holiday.
-[yells] Please, I have a child. -[man 1] Get up.
[spluttering] You think I am here to play, right?
Okay, you! You come with me.
Ten hours. I give you ten hours.
If you get my drugs, I release her.
If not, she is dead.
Don't try to play smart, okay?
[in Pidgin] We are the ones in control of Ghana.
Ten hours! Get up!
-No, please don't take this one. -Get up!
Sir, take this one.
-She is the one who took your products. -[Jenifa] Shege, don't say that.
[Shege] No, let me talk.
[in Twi] You think you are smart, right? Today, you are dead.
She was the first to leave this house this morning.
I am confident, this is the person who took your product.
-Shege, don't do this! -Sir, I promise you she took your drugs.
Shege, what are you saying?
-This lady is innocent, please take her. -I don’t know anything.
-Hey. Move. -Move! Get up!
-Please sir. -Shut up!
She is the one, sir.
Move! If you call the police, you are dead!
-Open the door! -[Adaku yelps]
-[Adaku in Pidgin] I am dead! -[man 2] Move!
Get my stuff. If not, she dies.
-[screams] -Move!
-Shege! -What do you want me to do?
-Why would you accuse Adaku? -Do you want them to carry you?
[screams] Shege!
Orchestrator of useless proposal.
-Shege, you brought me to Ghana. -Adaku took their hard drugs, I am sure.
You brought me to Ghana!
[cutlery clinking]
[phone ringing]
[Jenifa] Hello, Toyo.
[coughs] Hello, Jenifa.
Toyo, where are you?
[Toyo] Are you okay?
Everything is fine. Where are you?
I sent you a voice note on WhatsApp.
I've left Kumasi. I am at a restaurant in Accra.
I got your message but you have to come back now.
-Where are you? -Jenifa, what's wrong?
Your voice is shaky.
Everything is okay but you have to be here now.
[sighs] Okay, I will leave this place and start heading to you now.
No, we are no longer there.
I will message you our current location.
What's wrong?
We have left that short-let again?
Is everything okay?
Toyo, don't question me please…
be on your way immediately.
Okay, I will be on my way now.
-[water splashing] -[tense music]
[sobs] Adaku, Adaku!
[box rustles]
I think you just have trust issues.
[machines beeping]
But what a man can do, a woman can do much better.
Women are very resilient.
Don't forget…
[boxes rustle]
It's all about the Benjamins.
You will get it before EOB.
[phone beeps]
[man] Where is it?
[man 2 in shaky breath] I have told you everything I know.
[panting]
[exclaims] Ogyam.
[woman chuckles]
-[groaning] -Michael.
[tuts]
[in Twi] You didn’t try.
You didn’t try at all.
[in English] [gasping] Bebe,
I have served you for five years.
And I have been very faithful to you.
Please forgive me.
But you've refused to tell me where my money is.
[Michael groaning]
I don't know how to tell you the truth.
[in Twi] So why didn’t you run?
Because I was scared.
[Michael breathing heavily]
Why?
Communication is very important, Michael.
We've been together for five years.
You could have come to me.
Bebe, I am sorry. My child was actually sick.
And I needed money to take her to ICU so I can take care of her.
I had no other option but to use your money.
I am sorry. Please forgive me.
That's sad.
Mmh!
So…
How is she now?
[Michael gasping] She is stable.
She is fine now.
She is stable?
[Michael] Yes.
[exhales]
[in Twi] We thank God. Mmh.
[in English] Well, we thank God she is stable.
-Since she is stable… -[yelping frightfully]
-[Michael scream] -You remain unstable!
[Michael groaning]
-[tensr music continues] -[birds chirping]
[panting]
Hey!
Did you see anyone run past?
-[in Twi] No. -[in Twi] Are you sure?
-Yes. -Yes?
Do you know what? Go that way, and I will go this way.
-Alright. -Okay.
[thrilling music playing]
[panting] [in English] You'll see me now.
Hey! Stop!
Stop right there! Stop!
And place your hands where I can see them!
High above your head!
Go, go!
[grunts]
Where is it?
Where is the package?
[Spluttering] The package?
Stop playing dumb with me.
Where is the package?
I don't know what you are talking about.
So why were you running away from us?
I… I was scared.
I thought you both were kidnappers.
He looks like a kidnapper.
[shaky breathing]
We are from the Narcotics Control Commission.
I haven't done anything wrong.
-[officer 1] Where is the package? -Shut up!
There is no package.
Look, it’s empty.
Aren’t you an errand boy for Bebe?
Bebe? [spluttering] What is that?
-Will you speak! -I don't know any Bebe.
[splutters] I am innocent.
Alright then.
You will explain when we get to the station.
Please, please.
What sort of cock-and-bull story are you telling us?
You tossed two kilos of snow worth 50,000 dollars into an apartment?
Jordan, I swear to God.
That was what happened.
You are giving Lagos boys a bad name.
And making people like Bebe not want to work with us.
Jordan, don't worry.
It's not a tribalistic thing.
At least, you are a good one.
The problem here is…
You were not swift enough.
How come the Narcotics Control were chasing you around?
You were supposed to be in your car.
I had a flat tyre.
So I got down to look for a vulcanizer.
Then I noticed a car following me.
Then I went back to get the backpack.
[spluttering] But they were still following me.
And I started to walk faster.
That was when I saw two un-uniformed policemen alight from the car.
They started chasing me.
[splutters] Bebe, I think they have been trailing me for a while.
And?
[splutters] So I threw the snow into one of the houses In Alhaji Bako's estate.
The short-let.
The same Alhaji Bako supplying for me in Tema?
Yes.
[sobs] That was the best option I had.
They would have gotten me and gotten the snow.
-[cocks gun] -Liar!
I swear to God I'm not lying, Jordan. I swear!
What are you trying to do?
-I want to waste him. -[sobbing] Please.
For telling his side of the story?
No.
You won't do that.
Bebe, this guy is trying to play a fast one on us.
Just like Michael did.
Calm down.
I'm listening.
Bebe, I swear to God, I'm not lying.
If I wasn't arrested and locked up overnight,
I would have called you people and told you where the snow was.
It wouldn't have gotten missing.
So where is the girl you picked up from the short-let apartment?
I held her hostage.
Okay.
Bring her to mine.
And make sure you get every information concerning my stuff from her.
I mean business.
-Yes, I will. -That's all.
[shaky breath] Okay. Thank you.
[shaky breath]
[footsteps approach]
Tell me…
Did you get something out of him?
No sir.
He didn't say or spill anything useful.
So we had to let him go.
What?!
[loud knocking on table]
Why would you let him go?
You know he is the closest we've ever gotten to Bebe.
And you know we have to nail her.
She's the most dangerous kingpin we've ever seen in this country.
Um, sir, we…
We couldn't get anything off him that could lead us to Bebe.
All we got from his bag were
canned drinks, banana peels…
wish cards for his pregnant wife.
Everything in there was rubbish, sir.
Sir, we questioned and squeezed him all night.
As a matter of fact, we thoroughly scrutinized him.
-But we couldn't find anything on him. -Yes sir.
So we had to release him in the morning.
Listen…
Listen, both of you.
You have to do everything possible to get this guy.
-[stamp feet] -Duly noted, sir.
Yes sir.
[sobbing] Shege.
Leave my box.
Jenifa, you will go back to Lagos.
What is your problem? You will go back to Lagos.
You are just tossing me around.
You moved me away from the house where they will bring Adaku back to.
What's wrong with you? See what you've caused me!
Now, you want to take me back to Lagos,
without Adaku.
You can't be here in the present circumstance.
It's not safe.
Just allow us take charge. Rex has already booked the ticket.
Leave this issue to us, so we handle it.
What’s my business with Rex?
Huh?!
Shege!
Three people came to Ghana,
and you want me to go back without Adaku?
Why are you so wicked? You caused all this.
Adaku is a single mother.
If anything happens to Adaku,
who will take care of her son, Chibuzor?
Adaku is okay.
Shege!
I don't even know if both of you are drug barons.
Maybe you are behind this.
Jenifa, it's okay.
Stop being paranoid. We are trying to--
In your life, don't you ever refer to me as being paranoid again!
That word is not my portion.
The last person who called me paranoid, I no longer talk to him.
You rude boy!
I don't know you from Adam.
I don't like you!
At the slightest instance, you always say you don't like me.
Listen, I don't like you either!
[in Yoruba] I'm not intimidated by you.
[in Pidgin] At the slightest instance, you always blame this guy.
"I don't want to be in Ghana."
Is it a crime for someone to love you the way this guy loves you?
Have you ever thought to yourself that you being in Ghana might be fate?
-Rex, calm down. -Shege, don't ask me to calm down!
Let me make it clear to her.
-[exclaims] -[in English] Look here, Jenifa…
[in Yoruba] I don’t have time for your tantrums.
[in English] These people we are dealing with are drug dealers.
And they will stop at nothing.
So it’s better you do as Shege tells you,
pack your load and and head back to Lagos,
if you know what’s best for you.
-[sobbing] Shege… -[knock]
-[tense music] -[Jenifa gasps]
[singing gospel song in Pidgin] ♪ Our Father who pampers us ♪

Amen, in the name of Jesus.

You said in your word in the book of Isaiah Chapter 49 verse 25,
that even the lawful captives shall be set free.
-In the name of Jesus. -Father, release Adaku…
Hello. Please can you guys stop this nonsense, okay?
Let me think, okay?
[Jenifa] Shege.
What is wrong with your friend?
He is a devil incarnate.
Why is he frustrating me?
[in Yoruba] Look here, I have things to attend to.
[in English] It’s better you sit down, let’s come up with a plan
to help your friend wherever she is, okay?
Shege, must he be here?
Guys…
I actually think…
I think those guys are kidnappers.
And they probably were trailing us from the airport.
And they took Adaku because they want ransom.
That is why they kidnapped Adaku.
Yes.
Is Adaku's father wealthy enough to make her a kidnap target?
Can you hear yourself?
The guy that came for Adaku is a drug dealer.
And he is a courier. Do you know who couriers are?
They are the people they send the drugs through.
And if they fail to deliver the drugs they were sent,
they will end them and their families.
So it’s better you and Jenifa act fast.
Or else, they will come back here, kidnap both of you and end you.
-I reject it. They will end you, instead. -[in Yoruba] Do you hear?
Rex, I don’t want to hear that nonsense again!
Why would you say my girlfriend will be killed?
Brother, I am just being honest.
Even though I don't really like her, you brought her from Lagos.
-They will take her away and end her! -[Jenifa] Shege, please!
-Do you want to put your life on the line? -What if I do?
-There will be consequences. -Shege! Leave him alone!
[Toyo screams]
-[Jenifa Shege! -[Toyo screaming]
-Shege! -Jenifa, leave me alone!
Shege, you stabbed your friend!
-Leave me alone! -Shege, are you a killer?
[sobbing] Somebody call the emergency number.
Toyosi, you are next!
-What's wrong with you, Shege? -Jenifa, leave me alone.
-I’m hunting for blood. -Are you a killer?
Why are you attacking Toyo? [in Yoruba] Somebody help me.
Look at the way I sliced up Rex.
I will remove your oesophagus.
Shege, what has come over you?
-Shege, I will call the police! -Toyosi, this is your last chance.
I want to remove your intestines.
-Somebody help me! -Where is the stuff?
I didn’t take any stuff.
-[screams] I took it! -[Jenifa] Toyo!
-[Shege] You see what I'm saying? -I am sorry.
You see what I'm saying?
[Shege hisses]
-I knew this girl is a criminal. -[Jenifa gasps]
[Rex chuckles]
Shege, I told you so.
That is why we came up with this plan.
So you would confess.
[in Pidgin] Because I know that if Adaku took the stuff,
as they were taking her away, she would have confessed.
And that leaves only you as the suspect.
Yet you claim to be very religious.
This life is a facade. [smirks]
[Toyo sobbing] I am sorry.
[sobs]
Toyo…
I am sorry.
[spluttering] Did you take the stuff?
[whimpers] I am sorry.
Soji…
What is it again?
I am going back to being a courier.
I reject it in the mighty name of Jesus!
What are you even talking about, Soji?
You know I never knew about you peddling drugs in the first place.
I was brought up in a Christian home.
-I never knew any-- -Shh.
[exclaims]
[in Yoruba] Tone down your voice.
Do you want people to hear our conversation?
[in English] I have been working round the clock
to ensure we can gather money and pay back Sheriff.
And get out of his hook.
Please don't even mention this to me again, Soji.
[objects clatter]
[tense music playing]
[objects clatter]
What is this?
[in Yoruba] What is that?
Let me see it. Bring it closer to me.
-This is hard drugs. -[exclaims]
[in English] What's it doing in your room?
I don't know. We're in a rented apartment.
Someone must have forgotten it there.
We need to leave this place. I need to go and tell Jenifa.
No, you won't.
Listen, sweetheart.
Remember you just said a prayer,
that God should give us a miracle, right?
This is the miracle. Let me see…
I have a contact in Kumasi.
I want you to go there, sell it.
Get the money and I am off Sheriff.
I reject it! I will never sell drugs!
I can't do this.
Sweetheart,
listen to me.
Do you want him to kill me?
Do you know how I have been living my life?
Moving from one place to another.
So you prefer him to kill me, right?
To kill you?
To kill your children, our children?
-Is that what you want? -[sighs] God.
Jesus, help me.
-[sobbing] -[in Yoruba] Useless thief.
Kleptomaniac.
Thief!
[in Pidgin] If I push my hand in those eyes of yours!
You are a criminal!
-[hisses] -[sobbing][in English] I'm sorry.
I swear, I never wanted to do this.
[sobbing] I did it to save my family.
Jenifa, I'm sorry.
What's our business with all you're saying?
You just implicated us in your dirty business.
I'm sorry.
I don't even know why Jenifa brought you from Lagos.
Wait.
Toyo…
-[sobs] -[emotional music]
You are a Christian.
[exclaims] How did you get involved with a drug baron?
You are comfortable. You have a perfect life.
From France, you relocated to Lagos State.
Our life was not perfect, Jenifa.
Our lives were terrible.
We were deported from France.
-Huh?! -I am sorry.
I just couldn't bring myself to tell you the truth.
That was why I isolated myself and didn’t want to see anybody.
[exclaims]
[in Yoruba] Toyo, you are a liar!
[in English] I swear.
I didn't know that Soji was peddling drugs.
I was never in support of it. [sniffles]
[sobbing] So he would ingest the drugs,
and then he would
travel to other countries to deliver them.
He ingested drugs, when it’s not eba?
-Toyo! -[Toyo] I'm sorry.
On one of those trips he,
the drugs burst in his stomach.
Thank God for Sheriff’s in-house doctor that treated him.
We spent all our money to take care of Soji.
He almost died.
We spent everything we had.
They told him not to carry drugs again.
I was even happy because I wanted him to stop.
I wanted him to stop, Jenifa.
[sobbing] But we didn’t have any money.
We couldn’t feed, nothing.
So we borrowed money from Sheriff.
-[sobbing] -Get off my feet!
I don’t want those crocodile tears on my shoes.
[sobbing] I'm very sorry.
-[cocks gun] -[Toyo screams]
[in Yoruba] You know you are a very stupid person, right?
You know you are an accursed person, right?
[in English] I loaned you 30 million naira over a year ago.
And you have not given me back my money.
-I am sorry. -Okay, I have accepted you are broke.
Then return to the business and make my money back.
You refused.
-[sobbing] Boss, I am trying my-- -Shut up!
[Soji and Toyo scream]
[Soji groans]
[groans] Boss…
[in Yoruba] Get away from me!
[shaky sobs]
[in English] Boss.
I still have some cramps.
[in Yoruba] May the cramps kill your mother!
-Amen? Amen! -Amen, in the name of the Lord.
[in English] We are sorry, sir.
You can see I did not touch your kids.
-But I'm going to give you one month. -[Soji] Ah.
One month?
[tuts] If you don't bring my money…
[shaky sobs]
-[in Yoruba] You will be in trouble. -[Soji gasps]
[Toyo sobbing]
-Get away from me! -[sobs] Boss.
[mimics speaking in tongues]
Right?
[in English] Always in a hurry to speak in tongues.
Such a deceitful woman.
At the slighest instance…
[mimicking Toyo's Pidgin gospel song] ♪ Our Father who pampers us ♪
Kleptomaniac.
[sobs] [in English] I'm sorry.
Shut up your mouth!
-Nonsense! -Toyo, you are a chameleon.
You have different colours.
You have the colour of Toyo, the make-up artist.
You have the colour of Toyo, the repentant Christian.
Toyo, the prayer warrior.
-Toyo, the drug peddler. -[Toyo sniffles]
And at the slightest instance,
you back up your actions with scriptural verses.
Anyone can quote scriptural verses.
Pastor Mrs. Wasn’t the devil once an angel?
I am sorry, Jenifa.
You know me.
I don't know you! No!
Jenifa, this is against everything I believe in.
I didn't want to do it.
They were chasing us everywhere.
They wanted to kill us.
They wanted to kill me, Jenifa.
They were trailing us.
Toyo!
-[tense music playing] -[Jenifa exclaims]
So those armed men at the Eko Fest were after you?
Shege, you remember
when I said Lobster's men were after me at the Eko Fest?
So they were not even Lobster's men?
-Shege! -So she was their target?
They are Sheriff's boys.
Soji has been hiding.
My children are with my mum in Akure.
I didn’t have anywhere to go. Nowhere was safe.
I thought I would be safe with you.
I am sorry, Jenifa.
[in Yoruba] You are capable of being a murderer.
[in Yoruba] You are wicked and deceitful.
Listen, I am fed up of your long story.
[in English] Jenifa, tell your friend…
If you want to see Adaku again, provide the drugs you stole.
[exclaims]
Cat caught your tongue? Can’t you talk?

[in Hausa] Authentic.
[knife clatters]
[inhales] , [exhales]
[in Hausa] I will give you 15,000 US Dollars.
[Soji in Yoruba] Is this man crazy?
Remove your glasses. Give him a cold stare.
Give him a mean look
[surprised exclamation]
[in English] So you are this pretty?
[Soji] Stand up and act as if you are going out.
[surprised exclamation]
[in Hausa] What’s wrong?
[in English] Okay, okay.
Let us settle for 17,000 dollars.
[Soji in Yoruba] Don't speak to him.
[in English] Just look into his eyes.
Now, sit down.
[in English] Tell him it’s a deal.
Deal.
[surprised exclamation]
[in English] Beautiful but tough.
[exhales] Okay.
I will send Calamity to your agent to deliver the money.
I thought you were supposed to give me cash.
[Soji] No, no! Stay calm.
That was the agreement. Just stand up.
[in Yoruba] And walk out majestically.
Cash?
[in English] I will wait for Calamity to send the money.
[Rex] It is over! You've sold the drugs and sold Adaku.
My job here is done.
-Shege, I will see you later. -[Shege] Rex!
-What is it, brother? -You can't just leave in this manner.
-Why are you leaving me? -I've done what I came here for.
Don't do this.
-What do you want me to do? -Help me find a solution.
[Rex] I should help you look for drugs?
Am I a pharmacist?
Rex.
How will you cover this? See your clothes, bloodstains everywhere.
Covered, don't worry.
-[Jenifa sobs] -[Rex] Later!
[in Yoruba] My business awaits me.
-Rex! -[Rex] What's up?
My blood!
Your blood is in your veins. Leave me alone.
[Jenifa sobbing] Toyo!
[sobbing] I am sorry.
Toyo, you sold Adaku.
I am sorry, Jenifa.
You changed Adaku's destiny.
[exclaims]
Toyo, you are very wicked.
-[phone ringing] -Who is calling you?
[splutters] Hello, sweetheart.
[splutters] Are you back home?
I'm back.
[Soji] You have to go back there.
-[exclaims] -[Soji] Yes.
Calamity has not paid the agent yet.
He is trying to play a fast one.
His phones are already switched off.
[exhales]
-You just have to go back. -Soji, you are mad!
This is Jenifa. [exclaims]
You want your wife to go back to the lion's den.
You are very wicked.
Jenifa, please can you calm down and let me explain?
I won't calm down!
You should listen to me now.
Over this drug issue,
Adaku has been kidnapped.
-I will use Toyo in a swap deal. -[hesitates]
Jenifa, please calm down.
And for your information, you will go to jail.
[phone beeps]
[groans]
-[whimpering] -[tense music]
[wistful music playing]
[in Pidgin] Please sir, I am tired.
I can't finish it, please.
I thought you said you were hungry? Eat the food!
It is too much, I am full.
You will finish it.
[groaning]
Please, can I have some water to drink?
-Please. -Water my foot!
-Shut up and eat the food! -[exclaims]
[sobbing] Please sir.
-[Adaku groans] -Shut up!
Where is the drug?
Sir, I have told you.
I don’t know anything about it.
I don't know.
-[tense music plays] -I only came here to assist Jenifa.
Please, I just wanted to relocate abroad.
And they told me it is easy to go to America from Ghana.
-[cocks gun] -[screams] I am dead!
What is wrong with you? Are you mad? Do you want to kill her?
[screams]
Don't you know she is the answer to the drugs?
Bebe is going to kill you if you do this.
-What difference does it make? -Come on.
If I don't get the drugs, she is going to kill me anyway.
Guy, this was not the plan.
This was supposed to be my breakout deal.
I get the money, send my wife abroad to put to bed.
This idiot…
-No, stop! -Let me waste her!
If you try that nonsense in my nest…
[in Twi] you are dead. Unless I kill you here.
Bebe.
[sp;utters] I am sorry.
-Adaku. -[spluttering] Ma.
[in Twi] You are enjoying.
[in English] I can see you've been having a feast.
No ma.
I don't know anything, ma.
Just tell me. Where is it?
I don't know. I've been telling them.
I don't know anything, ma.
You see,
I have done my investigations.
And I found out that
the drugs were thrown into the apartment after it was cleaned.
No other person has occupied that apartment
until you and your people checked in.
Ma.
Ma, maybe Jenifa picked the drug.
[phone ringing]
I'm sorry, it's my phone. Sorry.
-Answer it. -Ma?
Answer it.
[low grunt]
Put it on speaker.
Hello, baby.
Are you okay?
[woman groans]
[woman] I’m not feeling too fine.
Has your water broken?
No, I’m just having some cramps.
Okay.
Call my mum, she should come to you now, okay?
[woman groans] Okay, I love you.
-I love you too. -[phone beeps]
I'm sorry, please.
Swift.
You are off this chase.
No, Bebe.
He misplaced the drugs, he has to finish what he started.
Allow him tend to his pregnant wife.
Kevin.
-[in Twi] You and Ted will be on it now. -Understood.
[in English] Bebe, please don't kill me.
I will finish it, please. I promise I won't fail.
-I will find that drug, I will find it. -[in Twi] Come on, shut up your mouth!
Bebe, please.
I will find it.
[tense music]
-[birds chirpoing] -[melanchonic music plays]
[whimpering]
[panting]
-[phone ringing] -Who is this?
[hisses] Adaku!
Hello, Adaku!
[panting] Jenifa, I have escaped.
You escaped!
[exclaims] Thank you, Jesus!
Where are you currently?
[panting] I have no idea,
but the environment portrays it as a village.
Village?
Adaku, look out for a signboard with the address of your current location.
I can't see a signboard around me.
[splutters] Okay, try to get a bus at the express road.
-Or a taxi. -Exactly, a taxi!
Let me share our current location to you.
[panting] Jenifa, okay.
[tense music]
-[door opens] -Shege, what's wrong with you?
Hand me my suitcase!
Jenifa, we have to leave now.
We have to wait for Adaku.
Don't worry, we will pick Adaku on the way.
Listen Shege, I already told you I no longer want to be a part of this drama.
The only reason I came back was to bring fresh clothes for you to change into.
Rex, please.
-Why do you behave in this manner? -It won't cost you much to assist us.
What is the meaning of this? I have things to do with my time.
[exclaims] Shege!
Shege, I don't want this boy to talk to me disrespectfully.
Let's wait for Adaku so we all leave in a taxi.
-[in Yoruba] I don’t have time to waste. -Rex.
I say I am no longer a part of this. Is this under compulsion?
Why are you begging me?
I want to follow you.
No, you will remain here until your husband comes for you.
I refuse to be a part of this drama anymore!
Rex, calm down.
-You are a very problematic person! -[exclaims]
-Shege! -[scream]
Shege!
-[thud] -[Rex groans]
Shege!
Jesus! [screams]
Jenifa!
[Shege grunts]
Gardener!
-Uncle! -Gardener!
Gardener, please we are about to be kidnapped.
Now, shut up and move!
-Move! -Jesus!
-[sobbing] -Shut up! Move!
[grunts]
Bring him up!
-[ blow] -[groan]
[grunts]
-Step forward! -Yes sir.
[coughs]
Shut up!
-Now, move! -Adaku!
[whimpering]
[Sheriff] You know me.
Okay. [laughs]
I don't take play with my money.
[in Yoruba] Money is very important.
[in English] Okay.
Keep me posted.
Boss, Soji called.
He said he is on his way, he is coming with the money.
He is not going to get the money.
In fact, I don't want him to get the money.
I want him back in the business.
So when he comes,
tie him up, torture him, frustrate him.
Make sure he changes his mind
and gets back into this business.
Okay, boss.
You! How many kilos of drugs are there?
[in Yoruba] Ten kilos, boss.
-[in English] What did you say? -[in Yoruba] Ten kilos.
[tuts] , [thud]
Have I not told you to always communicate in impeccable English language?
-[in English] I can, sir. -Commoner!
Call Marshall.
[in Yoruba] Inform him that if he does not pay me first,
he won't get any drugs from me.
-But you just spoke in Yoruba now. -[in English] What did you say?
-[in English] I hail you, sir. -[knock]
[Soji] Soji.
-[door kicked open] -[tense music]
What's going on?
-[gunshot] -[officer] He's down.
-[groan] -We have this building surrounded.
Put your hands in the air!
-[door opens] -[Swift] Babe!
Hands up.
Babe.
[shaky breath]
Babe.
Handcuff him.
Are you okay?
[shaky breath]
[loud cries]
-[man 1] Please sir. -[man 2] Move!
-[Jenifa] Please sir. -[Toyo screams]
-[Jenifa] Please sir. -[Adaku screams]
-[Jenifa] Jesus! -[ladies whimpering]
-[Jenifa] Please sir. -[women whimpering]
[Bebe] Adaku.
[claps]
You thought you were a superhero who had escaped, right?
Well, thank you for leading me to your friends.
[loud sobs]
Do you have my stuff now?
Ma, please we did not "took" your stuff.
Please ma.
You did not "took" my stuff?
Yes ma.
What kind of English is that?
I am very sorry, ma.
Sorry?
Good evening ma.
-This is the person that took your drugs. -[Toyo wails]
-[exclaims] -Toyosi!
Her name is Toyosi.
She took your drugs and went to sell it in Kumasi.
I am the only one my mother gave birth to. I can't do such a thing.
Wait a second.
I thought you guys were on vacation from Lagos.
-Yes ma. -How did you get into selling drugs?
-[sobbing] -Toyosi!
Okay, if you sold my drugs, where is my money?
[splutters]
Please ma, they "dupéd" her.
They "dupéd" her?
-Yes ma, in Kumasi, they duped her. -Look Bebe, I think we need to cook.
I agree.
[in Twi] Fools.
[in English] Come on, move to the pot!
-[screams] -You think this is a joke?
-Open the pots! -Jesus!
Is the son of God! Move!
[in Pidgin] When I am not pomo. Why would they cook me?
Why did I ever come to Ghana?
[in English] Please ma, Shege is bleeding and he is weak.
-First three, now move! -[Jenifa in Yoruba] Stand up.
-He is weak. -Move!
[screams]
Shege! Please give me water.
Shege, stay with me.
[Bebe] Open!
-[pants] -[screams]
[gunshot]
-[officer 1] Drop your weapons! -[Toyo screams]
Drop your guns now!
-You are surrounded! -Get down on your knees!
Get down on your knees!
And put your hands up in the air.
Shege is dying. Please I need water.
Hey, go grab their guns.
Yes sir!
[gasping]
The police is my friend.
You thought yourself a kingpin, right?
You will rot in jail!
[in Twi] Animal!
[in English] Cordi.
I thank God that Shege did not die.
He only passed out.
What would I have said?
-We are already coming… -[gentle music playing]
I will call you back.
Shege.
I thank God you are okay.
Your taxi is here to take you to the airport.
I love you.
You are following us to the airport, right?
No.
Why?
I just want to be alone.
You are angry because of everything I said.
I am sorry for all the things I said to you.
I don't regret knowing you.
No, I love you, Shege.
-It's okay. -Babe…
Your taxi is here.
Will you have a cup of coffee?
I'm alright.
Shege, what's happening?
The ladies are done with putting their luggage in the cab.
[in Yoruba] Let's get out of here.
Rex, hello.
-I am sorry for what happened. -Hi, Jenifa.
-Shege, let's leave. Yes. -Let's head out.
Let’s talk, Rex.
Shege.
Not even goodbye.
Rex!
[up beat music plays]
[Adaku snorting]
[sobs]
Auntie Jenifa, I know you had a horrific experience in Ghana.
But please, try to shake it off.
Timini.
Yes, my experience in Ghana was very bad.
But such is life,
and I will get over it.
[tuts]
The reason I am crying, Timini,
is the fact that
I had something precious
and I allowed it slip away.
I just pray God gives me another chapter.
[tuts] Timini, you won't understand.
Auntie Jenifa, please don’t cry, please.
Take me to Mimi's house.
[exclaims]
Are you not going home?
I can't go back to that estate.
[tuts]
Those people don’t believe in me again.
I told them something, they didn’t even consider it.
Now that Lobster has been arrested, let them deal with it.
But me… [tuts]
Auntie Jenifa, you own a house there, your business is there as well.
[tuts] Timini…
[honk]
[Jenifa tuts]
Timini, why are you honking like that?
[Timini exhales]
You are awake. [chuckles]
Timini.
Ma?
You brought me to Amen Estate?
-[Adaku grunts] -I told you to take me to Mimi's house.
Auntie Jenifa, just calm down, okay?
It is all for good, okay?
[Adaku] What is going on?
He brought me back to Amen Estate.
-[loud chants] Jenifa! -[soft music playing]
-Jenifa! -Again!
You are welcome back home, Jenifa.
We thank you so much for always standing for the truth.
Even when some of us think otherwise.
-[laughs] -[sobbing]
[in Yoruba] You are welcome.
Thank you, sir. Mimi!
Everyone in Amen Estate is sorry.
We all love you.
And we are happy to have you back.
I love you too, Cordi!
[exclaims] Jenifa Hair!
I love you. Thank you everybody.
Madam Bassey! [squeals]
Madam Bassey.
Jenifa, I am so proud of you. Well done.
Thank you.
Ogechi.
I am so sorry for what I did, ma.
-It's okay. -Yes.
I hope your sister is recovering?
Yes, she is.
Everybody, thank you.
[cheers] We love you, Jenifa!
On behalf of everyone, all the residents of Amen Estate,
we are presenting to you a cheque of 100 Million naira
for The Jenifa Foundation
-[excited squeals] -[cheers]
-Josephine, we have a structure now. -We have a structure. [laughs]
[cheers]
Thank you everybody.
As you have honoured me, God will honour you.
-Amen! -[honk]
I really…
Who is that?
[triumphant music playing]
[cheers]
Shege, you go on with the plans.
We will make sure it works from here.
Yes.
Are you sure she will say yes, after everything that happened here?
-No, no, no. -[chuckles]
I am picking her up from the airport,
to make sure that the estate puts everything in place.
Yes, so they will have enough time.
So don’t worry, everything will go smoothly.
Okay, I have already purchased my ticket.
So I will leave for Nigeria the same time she is leaving Ghana.
[cheers]
Jenifa, will you marry me?
[indistinct chatter]
Jenifa.
Say yes to the handsome gentleman.
Afterall, there are still good men out there.
If you don't say yes to him, I will say yes to him.
[laughter]
Jenifa, don't keep him kneeling, say something.
[crowd] Say yes.
[crowd] Say yes!
Yes.
[cheering]
[chanting] Kiss! Kiss!
[cheers]
