[singing] He's a miracle working God.

He's a miracle working God.

He's the Alpha and Omega.

He's a miracle working God.

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Lord,

for bringing my daughter back home.

I don't know how you did it,

but you did it.

Thank you.

Despite her sinful ways,

you still forgave her.

May your name be praised forever.

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Lord.

I cover this place with the blood of Jesus.

The blood of Jesus.

Blood of Jesus.

Mummy.

Blood of Jesus.

Thank you, Father.

Kome.

Get up!

And get ready for school.

Mummy, I don't want to go to school.

What?

Come on, get up!

Mummy, what is it?

Tell your sister to get up

and get ready for school.

Sister Tarela, I don't want to go to school.

Don't let me come back and meet you here.

Please, I want to stay with you at home.

It's fine.

Get up!

Mummy.

Kome, why don't you want to go to school?

Because if I come back from school,

you'll not be at home.

And I don't know when next

I'll be able to see you.

I'm not going anywhere.

I promise I'll be home when

you come back from school.

Promise?

I promise.

You know I love you, right?

Every day, and twice on Sunday.

Every day, and twice on Sundays.

Alright, go and get ready for school.

Okay.

Okay.

Are you still taking this?

What about this milk? Are you still drinking it?

I'm going.

I have tried for you, Edesiri.

I have tried a lot.

It's not easy at all.

For me to leave my husband and children at home.

It's not easy.

Do you know how much money I would have made,

if I had been at my store?

As I am right now,

I don't have transport fare to leave here.

I borrowed all the money that I've spent so far.

Everything I’m spending,

I borrowed it.

So, you will pay me back.

So, just try to be strong.

Good morning, ma.

Good morning, my dear.

Oh.

Edesiri, your boyfriend is here.

This your boyfriend is really trying for you.

He is trying a lot.

He comes to check on you every day.

Wow!

Wow!

Look at all the things he brought.

I know you won't eat this,

so, I’m taking it.

Somto.

Well done.

Thank you, ma.

Well done.

Please take good care of her.

Sure.

Has she started talking?

Not yet.

They said she would recover gradually.

Edesiri.

See you soon.

Somto.

Well done.

Thank you, ma.

How're you feeling?

Don't stress.

That's alright.

You just woke up.

I'm so sorry.

I had no idea that she was going to do something like this.

See,

listen—

[sigh]

Mummy.

Yes?

Mummy!

Mummy!

What happened?

What?

So?

What?

Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about.

I asked you to take just 30,000 naira.

Where's the rest of my money?

That is why you're calling me like that?

Tarela.

You want to increase my blood pressure, right?

Mummy, where is my money?

Tarela,

you don't know the number of people who are in prison,

for many years for crimes they did not commit.

If not for God,

you'll not be free today.

It is that seed that I sowed,

that made God

open the prison doors,

and set you free, like Paul and Silas.

I did not sow anything.

You stole from me!

Isn't stealing a sin?

I did not steal.

If I want to sow, I will sow.

And let me tell you,

you cannot beat me.

Why are you frustrating my life?

Who cursed me?

[Indistinct dialogues]

[Indistinct dialogues]

Hey, how are you?

I ran here. I'm so tired.

I know.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Miss brilliant.

He's,

Miss brilliant.

He's going to be here soon, so—

Okay.

What did I miss?

Yeah, I was trying to—

I was trying to ask her—

Remove your bags.

Oh, my God!

Switch off your phones.

If I hear a phone ring,

or I see you with your phone?

I will seize it and donate it to charity.

Tear a sheet of paper.

You have one minute for that.

Let's go.

Space in between.

Question.

The summary of our last lecture.

What!

Problem.

Yes.

You have 20 minutes.

Your time starts now.

Please do you have an extra pen?

Thank you.

You.

You.

I'm talking to you.

Yes, you.

Stand up.

What are you doing in my class?

Sir, I'm here for the test.

Are you my student?

Yes, sir.

You registered for this course?

Yes, sir.

Interesting.

What's your name?

Tiwalade Ogunmola.

Oh, oh, okay.

You are the Tiwalade that has not been attending my class.

Welcome, ma.

Did your friends tell you I've been asking about you?

No, sir.

Every day for the thief,

one day for the owner.

Tiwalade.

Sir.

You will not be writing this test.

Take your things and leave my class.

But sir, I registered for this course.

Class attendance is compulsory for those who

will write my test and exam.

Have you been attending my classes?

Yes, sir. I used to—

Oh, so you are calling me a liar now?

No, sir.

Did you submit the last assignment I gave?

Answer me.

No, sir.

You see?

Then why are you here?

Mmm.

I know my students and my students know me.

Sir, Tiwa—

Do you want to join her?

Madam,

kindly leave my class,

or I will cancel this test and fail everybody.

Please, leave.

Guys, calm down please.

Guys, stop it. Calm down please.

Please, don't waste our time.

My In-law.

My beautiful in-law.

How are you doing?

[hisses]

Hey, hey, look at you,

you’re still showing off right?

Don't you realise that you're already an ex-convict?

As an ex-covict that you are,

my brother is just putting up with you.

You deserve to be a concubine.

Oh, you don't know.

Stop deceiving yourself.

Her flight lands by 7am tomorrow,

and it's your duty to go to

the Airport, pick and take her straight to the warehouse.

And as for her, I would like you-

I'll speak to you later.

Hi.

Thank you so much for getting me out.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful,

but I stayed up all night thinking about it.

And I still don't understand why you helped me.

You're not the Andre I know.

And I have nothing to offer.

That's up to me to decide.

We need girls in our line of work.

And I will tell you where you fit in.

Besides, I—

get bored easily.

But,

this should be entertaining.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm—

sorry about—

earlier.

It wasn't your fault.

And it's not like I intentionally miss classes.

It's just—

I close from work very, very late.

And then—

Professor Ahmed's classes are always held in the morning.

And look,

I don't know what I'm going to do, Ibrahim.

Like,

I may actually carry this course over.

Yo, don't say that.

Besides, you still have the exams to make up for it.

Did you hear him?

He's not going to let me sit for the exam.

That means an extra year for me.

He might be strict, but I think he's very understanding.

Just go to his office, explain things to him,

tell him that you're sorry, and promise never to

miss his classes again.

I'm sure he's going to give you another chance.

I should go to his office?

Yeah.

Ibrahim,

I don't think I can do that.

I've heard way too many stories about lecturers harassing girls,

to walk into his office willingly.

Tiwa,

not all lecturers are like that.

Besides, are you going to fail a course,

because you're afraid?

Argh!

Don't forget it's a four credit unit course.

I know.

[singing] Come and see the Lord is good.

Come and see the Lord o.

Come and see the Lord is good.

Come and see the Lord is good.

There is nothing—

[phone ringing]

Hello.

What happened to the money that I just gave you?

Yes, I know you need money.

But God knows that I have no money on me again.

[sighs]

Let's see how—

let's see how things go by month end.

Okay?

God will provide.

God will provide.

[singing] Come and see the Lord is good.

There is nothing he cannot do

My ex in-law.

Come and see the—

Good afternoon.

I saw Tarela.

She looks great, considering she's just been released from prison.

It looks like she enjoyed her stay in prison.

How do you see it?

God forbid.

Are you listening?

God forbid.

Prison can't be suitable for my daughter.

I was only joking.

I'm planning to do thanksgiving in church on Sunday.

I hope you will come?

Ah, are you really asking?

Ofcourse, I will.

Alright.

I'll be there definitely.

I'll be expecting you.

[singing] Come and see the Lord is good.

Somto.

Somto.

Somto.

Sir.

Now look at this.

Look at this.

No, you tell me how the hell you spent

500,000 naira on printing.

Yo bro, printing?

Printing that you can go to

-Yaba and get for 10,000 naira. -Yeah, but,

but sir, that's what I've been saying,

you don't live here, sir.

That's what I've been saying. Everything has gone up.

What is it?

Please I’ve—

What the hell are you doing here?

Somto please, I've been calling you,

and you’re not taking your calls.

Tarela, you're a smart girl.

When you call and I don't take your calls,

what does it mean?

Please, I'm very sorry about what happened.

I don't want to hear it.

Do you understand?

I don't care about all that nonsense.

You stole from me.

No, I swear, I swear,

I didn't take that money.

It was Edesiri that took it.

Look, enough of all those excuses and lies.

You almost killed Natasha.

Do you know how much I had to give to the police

so that this place wasn’t shut down?

I told you, one more chance and you're out.

And right now, you've exhausted all your chances.

Please, I swear, I promise.

This time, I won't fight—

I don't want—

Tarela, Tarela.

Look, I have enough drama going on right now.

I don't need any of this drama.

The next time you show up here, I'll get the bouncers to throw you out.

Get out.

Get out.

Somto!

Sir!

Somto, Somto, Somto.

Come on, man!

This isn’t tallying, man.

Yo, yo, yo, nigga, look.

I did a cross check.

Look at this.

Look at, look, look, look, look.

You can see it.

It's right there, nigga.

Where is the money?

Go and bring my money.

[Indistinct dialogue]

[Indistinct dialogue]

What are you looking for?

Hello.

Tarela, how are you?

It's Becca speaking.

Becca, what's up?

I overheard Tiwa saying that you need a job.

There is an arrangement for a house party,

some guys need attractive girls to dance for them.

The money is reasonable.

About 40,000 to 50,000 naira.

once the organizers have taken their cut.

Are you interested?

Let me get back to you, please.

Is that not Tarela?

Tarela leave my bar, before I meet you there.

Tarela, leave my bar!

[people cheering]

[continous cheering]

Hi, Tiwa.

How's Tarela?

I've been calling and texting her but she's not responding to either one.

Tiwa, I'm very worried.

Seriously Wole?

After you abandoned her when she needed you the most?

What are you talking about?

Didn’t Kobe tell you that Tarela was arrested and imprisoned?

I kept calling you but we couldn't reach you,

so I had to tell Kobe to tell you—

Wait.

Kobe didn't tell you?

Clearly the idiot didn't tell me.

Look, Tiwa, I am so sorry.

How, how is she?

What happened?

What can I do?

Look, it's a long story.

And I'm busy.

Tarela has been released, though, so.

Kobe.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Just try.

Just one more.

[gasps]

[sighs]

[sighs]

Aunty.

Greetings.

Edesiri.

I hope you've been discharged by the doctor?

I can't come to that hospital again.

Aunty, I'm at home.

Please, did you see my wristwatch?

The one with the black leather strap?

I didn't see any watch.

What happened?

It is missing.

My perfumes, the ones I got from Dubai, are also missing.

Even my red Slippers,

and one of my wigs.

Everywhere is just scattered.

What happened?

Becca.

What's wrong with the men in this party?

They're touching me all over.

That's the way it is.

Welcome to the real world.

I didn't sign up for touching.

Tarela,

It's normal for them to touch you.

Just act like you don't care.

Please, why is she complaining?

I don't even know.

I didn't sign up for this.

I can't manage this situation.

Do you hear me?

You see all these men here?

They've all paid for self satisfaction.

and they will touch you anyhow they like.

The moment you walk through that door,

You've agreed to the terms.

I have my boundaries.

And if they cannot respect it,

I'll leave this place.

[mimics her]

What useless boundaries do you have?

Help me ask her.

No, What useless boundaries do you have?

And you're doing this type of work?

Oh, you think this is a club where Natasha paved the way for you, right?

Right?

Where you didn’t have to struggle like the rest of us?

You think you're a princess?

I am the princess of this place.

Rubbish!

[hisses]

Tarela.

No matter how it is,

you have to learn.

Yeah.

[panting]

Who's there?

Who's there?

Who's there?

Who's there?

Who's there?

[panting]

[screaming] Help!

[screaming] Help!

[screaming] Help!

[screaming] Help!!!

[panting]

Tiwa baby.

Eww!

Wow!

You look sexy and stunning.

Am I not talking to you?

Elder Kola, I don't have time for you and your problems this evening.

Tiwa.

You already know how I feel about you.

Stop playing hard to get.

Listen, let's go to that corner and play small.

Pretty girl.

Come here.

I'm talking to you, you're walking away.

So?

Let's go.

Would you let go of me?

Old man.

I suggest you fucking let her go, okay?

What is your business?

What is your business?

Nonsense.

Tiwa.

You better go before I break both of your arms.

Tiwa!

Tiwa!

Okay.

No problem.

Hey.

Thank you.

I'm not going to let that old piece of shit

disrespect my girl.

Thank you again, but still not your girl.

Come on, Tiwa.

Let's go somewhere and discuss.

Away from this place.

Your favorite place.

Yes.

I will think about it, and let you know.

I'm glad you could come.

I only came so you'd stop bombarding me with calls.

About what happened,

I am sorry, T.

I had no idea you were locked up.

I would have called my lawyer as a—

Enough Wole, I don't care about your apologies.

I miss you,

Tarela.

I know things are complicated right now,

but,

I need you to know that I deeply do care about you.

You keep saying you care about me.

You have a nice way of showing it.

Tarela, please.

I don't care, Wole.

I don't need you in my life.

You were just a distraction, that has turned into a bother.

So,

I'm over it.

Tarela.

You are never there when I need you.

Now I don't need you anymore.

Good luck with your marriage.

And stop calling me.

Good afternoon, Tiwa.

Hi.

Hi, IK.

Sorry I kept you waiting.

It's okay.

Open place?

Yeah, I don’t want you coming to my house

and people having the wrong idea, you know.

Your reputation is more important to me.

And besides, I don't want your father to kill me.

You mean you don't want Remi to Kill you?

It's okay.

How is he?

Well, he's been out of town.

Although I've been trying to convince him to come back.

But he's been busy settling the whole

cancelled wedding scandal.

So how have you been?

I'm fine.

You're a good friend.

I hope he knows that.

I'm not sure of being a good friend.

Anyway, I thought you might be hungry so

I got you some snacks.

Popcorn?

Thanks.

You're welcome.

It's really nice.

I was surprised when you called,

that you wanted to talk.

Are you sure everything is okay?

Yeah,

I'm really fine.

IK, it's just—

I have a favor to ask.

And,

I'm really sorry for bringing you all the way here.

It's fine.

It's just—

my dad's birthday is coming up soon.

Okay.

And,

I want to do something nice for him.

Something like what?

A surprise birthday party—

in church.

It's just—

I figured since you're his PA,

you know his schedule,

and,

you could help me keep it from him.

Tiwa, I really don't think that's a good idea.

You know,

given the situation between you and your dad right now,

I mean, I don't think

he would like me to come in between and meddle.

And besides, you know he doesn't like surprises.

I know that things with my dad are not—

great.

But,

he's my father.

And I just want to do something,

to show him that I still care,

despite everything.

Would you please help, please?

Please.

You know what? It's fine.

I'll do it.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you very, very much.

You're welcome.

And, um, for the popcorn.

You're welcome.

Natasha!

What are you doing here?

I thought I gave you time off.

What the hell is she doing here?

She's working.

Look,

she just showed up like you.

You know, I was very surprised to see her as well.

I thought she was out of the country.

You are so unbelievable, Somto.

I was dying.

And what did you do?

Hire that gutter trash back.

It seems like you've forgotten everything

that happened with Tarela.

You will watch your tone, Natasha.

Just because I have a soft spot for you,

doesn't mean that I would condone your constant whining.

You were in a coma,

Tarela was in prison,

Halima was out of the country.

The clients have to be entertained.

Now, you need to understand,

that I run this place.

So, you have to respect my decisions or you go back home.

I see what you're doing.

Trying to get rid of me,

the way you did, Tarela.

What are you talking about?

I know Tarela didn't steal that money.

Because I did.

What the hell is wrong with you, Natasha?

Do you know the kind of trouble you put that girl in?

Oh, please.

Stop acting like a saint.

I know you lied.

I took just about 250,000 naira from the club.

And you took the rest.

You are the thief, Somto.

You will keep it down.

I know the other things that you do in this club.

I'm not blind.

Things are going to have to change around here.

I am back.

So whatever game you have going on with that bitch,

end it.

I don't want her here.

Know this Somto.

I will not go down

without a fight.

As long as you have my back,

I have yours.

Well, well, well.

Look who's risen from the dead.

I'm glad to see that you're still alive.

Well, I wasn't so surprised that you

ended up in the hospital.

Save it.

Come on,

I was worried about you, darling.

Worry about yourself.

What the fuck are you doing here?

I should be asking you.

Because look at you.

Shouldn't you be on some bed rest or something?

You don't look so good, baby.

Things have changed around here.

I don't care what's going on between you and Somto.

But, you won't last long here.

Your reign ended.

And we moved on happily.

Tell me, Ruby.

What even happened to you?

You were deported, right?

Did you even make it out of this country?

I won't be surprised if, after all this while,

you were hiding in a ghetto in Ajegunle,

like a church rat that you are.

One piece of advice for you.

I am the one

and only queen of this club.

So get used to it.

Small girl.

Relax.

It seems your mother didn't teach you how to respect your elders, right?

Well, I don't blame you.

She left you and ran away.

Well,

let me make this clear to you, darling.

I'm back,

and for real this time.

And Ruby Rose doesn't fight for what she already has.

Get that into your thick skull,

baby.

Give me a drink, please.

Wow!

Edesiri.

You're back, welcome back.

[hisses]

Natasha!

Welcome back.

How are you?

Wow.

I have missed you.

I really missed you.

Wow.

[hailing her]

Save your greetings, please.

Listen, Natasha,

please don't be angry with me.

Okay?

I'm sorry I didn't come to visit you in the hospital.

Listen,

ever since that thing happened,

we've all been busy.

But,

but.

We've been praying for you.

You and Tarela.

We really prayed for both of you.

The only prayer that bitch needs,

is her last prayer,

before she dies in prison.

Really?

Well.

What?

Talk!

Tarela,

Tarela is no longer in prison.

She is out.

She has been released.

What did you say?

I also heard that she came to see Somto yesterday.

I also saw her at a house party recently.

I just want to inform you,

nothing serious.

You know, you are my friend.

That bitch.

Hey, baby.

The accounts have been audited, Somto.

And it's a mess.

Audited?

What accounts?

Yes, my brother hired an auditor.

And do you know what the auditor found?

Of course you know.

Babe, I can explain.

I've been doing my best,

and—

the economy is really bad.

You're the one that is bad.

Before my brother relocated to the US,

he put you in charge of the club as the manager.

Against his better judgment,

hoping you could make him some money.

Do you know why he settled for you?

Babe, because I'm good at business.

Because of me!

Somto, because of me!

My brother took you in,

clothed you,

fed you, and what did you do?

Babe, look.

I can fix this.

Let me fix this.

Just give me a chance to turn all of this around.

Please.

You know, I thought,

all this was a mistake,

that you'll walk in here and deny all these allegations.

But I should have known better.

Baby, come on.

Somto,

everybody warned me against you,

that you weren't good enough for me.

Somto, we are done.

Now, get out.

Get out.

I don't want my brother to meet you here.

Get out, now!

Good riddance.

What are you doing?

Social studies,

we're having test tomorrow.

Good girl.

I like social studies.

Kome.

Look at what I got for you.

Thank you, sister Tarela.

But it is not my birthday,

or Mummy's birthday,

or is it your birthday?

Kome.

Cakes are not for birthdays alone.

And from now on, birthdays get two cakes,

regular days get one.

Thank you, sister Tarela.

You're welcome.

Well, sister Tarela.

Yes?

I thought you were going to leave and never come back?

No,

I'm not going anywhere.

I promise.

You and I,

we're stuck together until we're old and grey.

Alright, go and bring a knife.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Hurry.

Okay.

I'm going to cut,

then you try it?

and you tell me—

if you like it.

Yeah?

Yes.

Okay.

Try it.

is it nice?

Let me try.

Won't you give me some to taste too?

Kome, come and greet your Daddy.
