Alright, my name is Abubakar Salam.

I'm a friend of the groom.

Right now, without wasting any time,

we wish to call in the couple.

That is the reason why we are here.

The bride and groom are about to come in now.

Please, for God’s sake,

anyone who is happy to be here today

should accord the bride and groom some respect by standing up.

Please, let's rise to usher in the bride and groom.

Thank you very much.

I welcome the latest couple in town,

Enitan Henry Obaloluwa, the MD, CEO of OBALOT Nigeria Ltd.,

Son of the Prophetess, and his bride, Feyisara Johnson!

Dr. Yinka Ayefele, welcome them, please.

Yeah. So, guys, to the incoming newest couple in town,

-Enitan and Feyisara. -Thank you.

-Cheers, bro. -Cheers, brother.

-Cheers. -Cheers, bro.

Thank you.

Congratulations to you in advance.

-Thank you. -Yeah. So…

Let's quickly start sorting things out bit by bit.

Instead of just sitting here, let's run through what the party will look like,

-Sure. -What funds we may need… Sorry…

By the way, Shola,

-how far are we with Balogun? -Huh?

I was speaking to him when you came in. He said

he’ll be leaving London tomorrow.

So, he’ll be around tomorrow.

It’s just a six-hour flight, so he will be around.

Gbolahan assured me he would be around tomorrow by God's grace.

-He’s also coming tomorrow? -I’m getting scared.

Okay, I have tell you guys this.

Bankole sent me some money, but I won’t tell you the amount.

-Uh-oh. -Come on. Tell us how much he sent to you.

Why do you want me to tell you? Why?

If you don’t tell us, it's fine. But he told me already.

-Then he has betrayed me. -In what way?

By telling you.

That's not a big deal. At least

everyone is celebrating with you.

Thank you.

Ah…

Sorry, guys…

There's an issue

you and I ought to discuss privately, but…

Well, it’s not something our friends can't know about. It's not a big deal.

Okay.

I’ve been bidding for a contract at the Ministry of Works for a long time.

I’ve spent a lot of money on it. I've put in a lot into the contract.

So…

When I got there last week, about four days ago,

I was told the contract has already been awarded to another company.

Which company could the contract have been awarded to?

A contract I have been working tirelessly to get.

Then I found out it was your company.

-Ah. -Yes

Enitan! You?

I didn't know you were also bidding for the same contract.

So, the contract was awarded to you?

Look, may we never become a relic of the past.

-Amen. -May we never go backward.

-May the head never become the tail. -Amen.

You see…

Enitan.

Like the prayer I just prayed, there is a contract I’m pursuing in Germany.

It will be a big problem for me if I don't do anything now.

Do you understand? My company

needs to execute a big contract

that will show that I'm also a contractor.

Please,

I want you to leave the contract with my company.

You can go back to the Ministry of Works to let them know

-Olushola! Olusola! -I'll be the one to handle it.

-Please, as a favor to a friend. -Olusola, no, no, no.

No, no. You know it's not possible.

-What do you want me to tell them? -It is possible.

-But it's not possible. -This is what we do for a living.

We are in this business together.

I don't want to say much. It will sound like I'm reminding you of past deeds.

You know I introduced you to this business.

-There's a lot we can do. -Don't go there.

The fact that you introduced him to this business does not count.

-Subomi, Subomi, it's okay. -You are shouting. You are shouting.

-You are shouting. I'm not talking to you. -Sola! Sola!

-I can't hold it in. Yes? Okay. -Subomi, it's okay.

Uh… Olusola, this is what is going to happen.

I will go ahead with the execution of the contract

and hand over all the proceeds to you.

Oh. Enitan. You just spoke stupidly.

-Ah! -You just spoke stupidly.

What are you trying to say? You're ridiculing me.

So, you still want to execute the contract I told you …

Sola, what do you want me to do?

What I need is for the company in Germany to see a precedent close to the size of…

-But giving it to you is not possible! -It is possible.

That would destroy my company's reputation!

Listen, do you want me to go backward in life?

Do you want me, the head, to become the tail?

What do you think that will do to me?

Enitan, Enitan, calm down. Uh… Shola, calm down.

-What's he saying? -Uh…

-Olusola. -I'm listening, please.

Ah, Sodiq, I’m waiting to hear what you have to say.

I’m so irritated. It’s as if I’ve never heard this in my life.

Just calm down. If I heard what you requested from…

You're going beyond your limit.

Okay.

If I heard what you requested from Enitan correctly,

a request you also heard,

you want him to drop a contract that has been awarded to him.

Can you imagine?

Hold on a bit.

Now, in his wisest wisdom,

he said he can't do that, but he will execute the contract

and he will give you the proceeds, not proceed, proceeds from the contract.

Yet you still said no.

-No. -Why?

It may look okay to you because you are also stupid.

Yes, because you are old, but you have no intellect.

-Listen to what you are saying. -What is he saying?

He is disrespecting me,

-ridiculing me, yet you support him. -Have they said more than I have?

-Are you out of your mind? -Is something wrong with you?

-Are you insane? -Me?

You know, I have told you several times

that you behave like someone who was accidentally dropped as a baby,

-so you misbehave a lot. -Of course!

-Yes! Something is going on with you. -Are we even supposed to…

-Listen! Listen! Are you sick? -Hey! Hey, Sola! Sola!

-You're very sick! You're sick! -You're in my house!

-You can't shut me up! You're in my house. -Are we supposed to talk? Okay, Olusola.

I'm not giving you the contract or the proceeds.

Now you are talking!

-Now you're talking. -You dare not try it!

Sola, are you out of your mind?

-You've gone mad. -Have you gone mad?

I’m the one who introduced all of you to the business.

-And so what?! -I contributed to your success.

Hey! Don't say that!

The fact that you introduced us to the business does not count.

Hello! I will fight you. I'm telling you!

-I will slap you! -If you are…

-You'll hit me and I won't retaliate? -I will slap you!

-Who do you want to slap? -Hello?

Look here. I know what is wrong with you. You have the guts to stand before me?

-Who are you? -I know what you are relying on.

I will destroy the person you are relying on.

I'm telling you. Your mother, whom you are relying on.

-He just mentioned my mother! -Yes!

-Your mother! Your Prophetess mother! -Your mother!

Your mom, a prophetess, will weep over you.

-Sodiq, Sodiq. -Your prophetess mom will weep over you!

-This guy is going too far. -I will beat you up!

-I? I? Is… Is something… -You mess with my mother!

-Is something wrong with you? -You're out of your mind!

-Sodiq! Sodiq! You will overdo it. -You are not in your right mind!

-I? I? -Take my cap from him!

-Take my cap from him! -I won't let go of it!

-I won't let go of it. No! I won't let go! -Take my cap from him! I want my cap!

-You? You can't go through with it. -Come on . Give me the cap.

-Let go of the cap! Don't worry. -Take my cap from him! Give me my cap

-Let go of the cap! -I'll deal with you! Let go of my cap!

-Come on. Let go of the cap! -No problem!

-Yeah, let me tell you something. Sola. -Someone else…

-Wait, wait, wait! -Someone else

-Shut your mouth! -will be a husband to your wife!

Take a look at this guy. You know his worth.

He owns the lounge you usually go to for drinks,

as well as other businesses. You know his worth.

-My name is Enitan Henry Obaloluwa, -Do you know…

-Obalot Nigeria Limited. -Do you know

-what I've owned? You can't shut me up! -Let's go. What can he do?

Your life will be ruined! Your lives will be completely ruined!

-Honey. -What is it?

-What's the meaning of this? -Meaning of what?

I heard what you and your friends discussed.

Why are you like this?

-It seems you're not in your right mind. -My right mind?

It seems something is wrong with you, right?

-What kind of person are you? -Why were you eavesdropping?

Hold on. Uncle Enitan offered you all of the profit.

Are you alright at all? Why?

-You've clearly lost your mind. -Is the business yours?

Look, if you provoke me further…

If you provoke me further, I will rain the slaps I ought to give them on you.

-You will slap me? -When you can't think properly.

What do…?

What do I need the money he wants to give me for?

-We are talking about getting the contract -It's okay.

to build my company’s profile. You are talking about him giving me money.

-It's okay. Calm down. It's okay. -Ah!

-Look, don’t let me get angry. -I’ve heard you, I've heard you.

-If you bring this up again… -It is okay! Ah!

For God's sake, Arinola,

will I marry another husband, despite having one already?

Look, Enitan has finally proposed to Feyisara.

Arinola, is there anything wrong with belonging to more than one association?

Or when did we agree that

if any of us has dated someone, no one can date him?

One man’s food is another one’s poison.

Besides, let me remind you, the person we are talking about

was just a one-night stand.

So, what are we talking about? You and Feyisara had not even met then.

Take it easy.

You both don’t really know me.

If you try to get to know me, you will know it's dangerous.

If you want to cross me on this,

you have to be well prepared for battle.

If you try, your corpse will be carried out.

-Hold it, foolish big sister. -Foolish little sister.

-What does that statement mean? -What did you hear?

Arinola, or whatever you are called, let me tell you something.

See, my own Enitan, he will not die but to live.

You better let it sink into your head.

My own husband will not die.

What is it?

Must we both die as spinsters?

-Are you referring to me? -Yes!

Become what I am.

If you're not destined for marriage, Arinola,

it doesn't mean I, Feyisara, will not marry.

You shouldn't have said that.

Big sis, I’ve been listening to all you've been saying.

Let them get married.

We will teach them

that we are not to be trifled with.

Your friend cannot fight,

but she has a younger sister who can.

Thank you, little sister.

-Feyisara, Feyisara! -Oredun?

It's time to go home.

-Really? -Yes.

Yes, it’s time to go home. Get up.

-You? Peju, you? -Yes, I, Peju. Get up.

Yes.

It's time to go home. Good day.

You may leave. No one wants you here.

Are you finding it difficult to put on your shoes? You may leave.

Let them go.

I, Olapeju, will make them realize I am no little witch.

I will rattle them up. They will be shaken to the core.

Do they think they are important?

Thank you, my little sister.

Don't mind them. Relax. I am behind you.

There’s nothing to fear.

What nonsense.

He was just saying rubbish. Why are we friends?

Why?!

Huh-uh.

What's the big deal?

What are we really fighting over? What?

I can’t tell the quantity of fuel they will be needing.

You know what you're gonna do?

When you get to your desk, call and ask them how many tanks they need.

-Alright, sir. I will do that, sir. -Okay. Thank you.

Chidindu!

Hello! Oh!

Honorable Minister.

Yes, sir.

Sir, please don’t be annoyed with me.

He's my friend.

Yeah.

I beg you, in God's name, don't be annoyed.

Please, manage the situation well for me,

so my company’s reputation won't be affected.

But I really want him to have that job.

It will boost his profile.

Sir, please, don't see it that way. He’s my childhood friend.

Alright, sir.

Oh, thank you, sir.

No, I could come to Abuja tomorrow.

-My dear. -Yes, Ma.

You still haven’t given me the money.

Mom, I want to give you the money. I planned to give it to you today.

But something happened at home.

I didn’t know how to tell you over the phone.

That’s why I decided to come over to explain things to you.

Sola is furious. You know he gives me what I need to take care of you.

But you know how he is when he is angry. He takes it out on everyone.

What did you do to offend him?

He's not angry with me.

The issue is between him and one of his friends.

He said something about the friend trying to take his livelihood away.

Then Sola has every right to be angry.

His anger is not misplaced.

Anyone who deprives another of his livelihood has ruined his life.

That means the person is between life and death.

He has to be paid back in his own coin.

He has to pay the person back in his own coin.

When someone hits you, then Sola should hit back in full force.

Yes. One should avoid such a person at all costs.

He’s a mortal enemy.

I'll tell him what you said. I'll still give you something. Don't be annoyed.

What Sola’s friend did affected me too. He's taken my source of livelihood away.

Please, don't be annoyed.

He has also taken my source of livelihood away.

Oh my God!

Honey, please, one minute. One minute, please.

-Good afternoon, sir. -Good afternoon.

Oh no, please don’t give me any money. I am not a beggar.

Okay.

I just want to tell you that…

you need to do all you can

to fortify your life.

Because in 21 days, the witches will come to kill you.

Yes! In 21 days,

the witches will kill you.

Do all that is within your power. Get ready.

Hear what I say to you today. The vulture initiates.

-You're doing well. -The vulture wanted to wreak havoc.

The world said it should not.

Enitan, son of Mopelola.

-The witches have caught you. -They never knew

-The witches will prevail over you. -Witches are powerful in Ado

Jesus.

-It shall be well with you, my son. -Good morning, Ma.

-The enemy's plan will not come to pass. -Amen!

Darkness will not take what belongs to you.

Amen!

-Enitan. -Mommy.

The shop you went to yesterday…

There was a young girl at the shop you went to yesterday.

Yes, at the mall I went to yesterday.

You said she gave you such a message?

Yes, Ma.

Jesus, son of God, have mercy on me.

-Then you also had a… -Good morning, Ma.

-My daughter, it shall be well with you. -Amen, Ma.

-How are you? -May you live long.

-How is your mom? -She's fine, sir.

-Give my regards to her, okay? -Yes, Sir

-Thank you, Ma. -Hey.

You said you had a dream about the same thing?

Yes, Mom. That’s exactly what scares me.

I saw myself in the midst of a large number of people dressed in red and black.

Ah!

Let us pray.

-Great and mighty God. -Your Majesty.

-The King who holds the key to the earth. -Your Majesty.

-We bow ourselves before you this hour. -Your Majesty.

You are the maker of heaven and earth.

-Oh yes! -Ah!

Lord, do not allow any evil vision come to pass over my son.

Amen.

-Let the plan of Satan come to naught. -Amen.

-Lord, let it become vain. -Amen.

O evil hand, change course Enough of your evil deed in his life

Desist from doing him any harm

May His powerful hand Change those evil hands

-Amen. -Ah!

May the Creator change every evil hand.

-Amen. -Jesus Christ!

-Enitan. -Mommy.

Get up.

Oh God, have mercy on me.

-Have mercy on my son. -What happened? Mommy, what is it?

-Enitan. -Yes?

What the girl saw has been revealed to me. And I heard in my spirit that it's true.

Ah!

The dream you had, Enitan,

has been confirmed to be a true revelation.

Mommy, you're scaring me.

The blood of Jesus Christ. Have mercy on me.

-Mommy, you're scaring me. -I have no one, I have no one.

I have no one Show your mighty power, Jesus

In the life of Enitan, I have no one Show your mighty power

Your power still exists Your wonder still exists, Father

I have no one, show your mighty power

Oh God ,show your mighty power.

Have mercy on me, and remove this death sentence over my son.

-Enitan. -Yes, Mommy.

I gave birth to you, and I brought you up in the Christian way.

But at this point in time…

The Yoruba people said that God doesn't disapprove of going the extra mile.

Enitan, the time for that has come.

-Ah, Mommy, you are scaring me. -I'm not scaring you.

We have to go all out.

Enitan you will not die during my lifetime.

-In Jesus name, I will not watch you die. -Amen.

I will do all I can to redeem your life.

You must also do all you can. Have pity on me.

Have pity me. Don’t make me childless at my old age.

Enitan, don't make me childless at my old age.

Every option you can think of exploring,

you need to start exploring them immediately. Oh, my Creator.

Have mercy on me, O Lord.

Father, don’t let my prayers go unanswered

Father, don’t let my prayers go unanswered

Mommy, I will see you later.

I need to get to the office.

You instructed me not to go any other way

You instructed me not to go any other way

-Enitan. Yes? -Yeah, Subomi.

-Hope you're not angry with me? -Oh no, my friend.

Hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long?

I had no option but to wait.

What you were saying on the phone sounded really strange to me.

It's really strange to me too, and I'm scared.

But why didn't you say anything all this while?

That's why I'm telling you now.

So, you've been keeping something this serious to yourself all this while.

Yet you know these things are not to be taken lightly.

When something this serious is going on, it shouldn't be hidden.

Subomi, what do you want me to do?

What can I do on my own?

Where do I run to? I can no longer sleep.

The moment I close my eyes,

I'll start seeing strange things.

I don’t know what to do.

Don't let me not lie to you. The way things are…

You have to go to Osogbo.

To go and do what?

There’s an old man I know there. He’s well-versed in Ifa divination.

He reads Ifa divination like it's a simple task.

He is Ifayemi Elebubon,

the Araba of Osogbo town.

My mind tells me he is the best person to enlighten us.

My buck tooth is for eating other people’s meat.

All the money others use to buy slaves

is what I use to buy rats and fish used to make sacrifices for the Ifa,

to make divinations for my mysterious mothers who birthed the divine entities.

Let us pay homage to the women.

The women gave birth to us before we became humans.

The ackee fruit is ripe, but it's not fit to be pounded like the yam.

There are only two coins left on the ground.

The masquerade had to strain his eyes before he could pick them up.

The evil ones will not allow men to have peace of mind.

Allow them to live in peace. My mothers are called Eniyan.

Before we became humans.

-Welcome, young man. -Yes, sir.

What you came to enquire about, you've heard about it before now.

Right? Were you not told that you would die in 17 days?

Yes, I heard about it before now.

The witches will be the ones to kill you.

I told Subomi about it because I heard it before.

Olasubomi assured me I would find a solution when I came to you.

I came because I don't want the witches to kill me.

Baba, I'm still young. What can we do?

Ifa, what can Enitan do to avoid being killed by the witches?

The ackee fruit is ripe, but it's not fit to be pounded like the yam.

The Paka masquerade swirls around and drops some coins.

There are only two coins left.

The masquerade had to strain his eyes before he could pick them up.

The evil ones will not allow men to have peace of mind.

Allow them to live in peace. You, the Eniyans.

Ifa did not say otherwise.

Ifa said if you don’t want to die in 17 days, you have to run.

Baba, where did Ifa ask me to run to?

I'm already on the run, and that’s why I came to you.

Ifa has told you what you must do, and that's all he has to say.

You mean Baba told you Ifa said there's no way out?

That was what it sounded like to me.

The Baba Elebubon you referred me to told me Ifa asked me to run.

So, the question I’ve been asking myself is, where do I run to?

Didn't I run to him?

Yet he said Ifa asked me to run. Run where?

Olasubomi, I am dying already.

There is one thing I want you to know, my friend.

The Almighty does not create a problem without a solution.

No matter how tough things may get, there's always a way out.

Olasubomi, there's no hope in sight.

It’s so hot, and it's not cooling off.

It’s not death itself that scares me.

Whatever solution I get will be temporary, for I will surely die one day.

What bothers me is the fact that they said the witches would kill me

What witch did I offend? What did I do?

Everything happens for a reason.

Nothing happens without a cause.

What exactly did I do?

I need to know what I did and who I offended.

Even if I beg the person and he doesn't accept, I need to know.

It just occurs to me now as we are talking.

I would have asked you to visit

a place while you were in Osun state.

Where?

I know a Baba Mogba of the cult of Sango.

He’s hotter than a furnace, and he is powerful.

Look, my friend, water can overcome fire.

Sango is superior to the witches.

As a matter of fact,

according to history, if the wife of a Sango devotee becomes a witch,

Sango will eventually destroy her.

We are the ones!

Here comes the vulture, a bird that circles around the earth.

Here comes the hornbill, the mythical bird.

Here comes the majestic bird that flies majestically.

The three birds circles over the town.

Osa is bragging. The witches are soft.

We are sharper than a blade.

We are the fatigue that wear people out.

When death speaks, diseases must not make a sound.

Fatigue has neither hands nor legs.

Fatigue does not struggle with a child before wearing him out.

We are the drum that rolls.

We are makers. We are the elders of the Olu of Olufe.

-We are the makers. You are the people. -Yes.

We, the makers, are the ones who change people's destinies into evil.

My mother is a witch. My father is a wizard.

I am also a high-ranking wizard.

When a superior bird cries, no other bird dares make a sound.

No other bird should make a sound. The witches are in charge.

No other bird should make a sound. The witches are in charge.

If a Sango devotee's wife joins the coven of witches,

Sango himself will eliminate the witch.

Those who told you the witches will kill you are not lying.

-The witches will kill you. -Please,

I don’t know the person

I offended that made the witches want to kill me.

I don't even know what my offense is.

I’m only running around to find out what is needed to make a sacrifice.

Have mercy on me, old one.

Don’t let the witches kill me.

I'm not the one who will save you. Only your creator can save you.

But if we don’t want the witches to kill you,

then no witch will be able to kill you.

We will have to call on the spirit of Sango today because of you.

If you can provide Sango's meal.

Whatever Sango wants to eat, I will make it available.

Just don't allow the witches to kill me.

Sango will take bitter kola,

-uncooked beans, -Uncooked beans? Yes, sir.

-lots of palm oil, and a white ram. -Red oil.

-A white ram? -Yes.

-Is that all, sir? -That's all.

Sir, please, when can we start, sir?

We must do it immediately. I will take you to a boy who will take you to the market.

Okay, so we can go get the items and start immediately?

-Yes. -Okay, I am ready, sir.

Sango does not kill farmers. Oya will not kill Sango’s faithful!

Wherever Sopona puts palm oil, no one dares go there.

The big-headed deity is seated in the plain of Epo.

The mighty one in the plain of Ige.

Those without a head will surely perish.

Enitan, you have a head. Yours has become the linage where Sango killed Wini Wini.

That place is called the palace. The place

where Sango killed six people is the place they call Ajofa.

The place where Sango killed nine people is called Akesan.

Sango touched someone's tray of goods, and it became Sango’s market.

No one can appease Sango.

When he gets angry, no one dares stand in his way.

If the forest stands, it will be completely burned down.

The Nupe's masquerade that swings to and fro like a pendulum.

Like a pendulum.

Your life shall be good.

That day back then, it’s history now.

The day Sango, the witches, and wizards were coming from the otherworld.

They made an agreement.

Sango told them, "Never touch me and my children."

Both the witches and wizards agreed to the pact.

-The wizards' eyes are no longer on you. -So shall it be.

-The witches' eyes are no longer on you. -So shall it be.

-You will no longer die. You shall live. -So shall it be.

-You will live beyond your peers. -So shall it be.

-You shall live. -So shall it be.

-You shall live long. -So shall it be.

All is well with you now.

-Enitan, from this day, -All is well with you now.

you are now the son of Sango. You will no longer die.

-So shall it be. -Sickness will no longer afflict you.

-No crisis will visit your home again. -So shall it be.

-May joy and happiness be your portion. -So shall it be.

The mysterious mothers always have respect for Sango's children. May they have

respect for you. May the wizards of the town have respect for you.

May the witches of the town have respect for you.

The herbalists, Islamic clerics, and pastors will accord you respect.

-Because they have respect at home, -That's right.

-at the farm, at the river, in bad places. -That's right.

The house burning on the farm gives respect to the farm deity.

The witches and wizards

will accord you respect. Hundreds of divine spirits will accord you respect.

From today, you will no longer die. You will no longer be sick.

The mark of death is removed from you.

All forms of confusion have departed from your life. You will experience ease.

-So shall it be. -So shall it be.

-Sango now lives in you. Come, let's go. -Yes, sir.

To the party?

-That's where we are heading to. -Yes, sir.

Dance all you can.

That's why I decided to check on you that day.

But unlike you, you were not in your seat. That really surprised me.

I wondered what could be going on.

Not until

Abubakar told me there were so many files on your table that are unattended to.

I was surprised, and I wondered what could be going on.

That’s why I called you.

Enitan, what you just told me about is a serious matter.

Sodiq, it's serious. It's serious, and I don't understand it.

I can't even sleep.

As soon as I close my eyes, I start seeing strange things.

Sometimes I hear footsteps.

Sometimes I hear people's voices in my head.

I don't know what is wrong with me. I don't know.

Sodiq, Sodiq. You know what?

The first thing you need to do is calm down. When you're calm,

we can think of what to do next.

Because listen,

I believe when one is calm, he will find the solution to the problem.

Sodiq, I am trying to be calm.

But what I'm saying is, who did I offend?

Who wants me dead?

What did I do to offend them?

It's not like… We must surely die one day.

But let somebody just confront me and tell me

what I did to them so we can sort… Don't you realize what I'm saying?

I see people every day counting down to my death.

People introducing themselves to me, telling me they are powerful beings,

and that I'm going to die. Why? Why?

Enitan, I'm begging you. Be patient. Calm down.

Don't let this issue weigh you down, please. Don't let it weigh you down.

-Sodiq, Sodiq. -Yes?

-I'm contemplating suicide. -No, no, no.

I'm contemplating suicide.

-Enitan, Enitan, no, no, no. -Let me just die. This is torture.

Die how? Because of what? You're contemplating suicide because of what?

Listen, if it requires me to sacrifice days, hours, minutes for you, I'll do it.

To be with you every second, every minute.

Suicide? No! What will we gain from your death?

We, your friends, don't need you dead now. We need you alive.

And you will be hale and hearty.

Nothing will happen to you.

Believe me.

What you need to do now is to stay calm. Everything will be sorted out.

-Calm down. That's my advice to you. -Okay.

You being alive is what your friends need.

-Please. -Okay.

-Thank you. Thank you. -Please. Please.

Iseyin? But I just left Shaki now.

It's okay, it's okay. It's not your fault.

Okay. So, what do I say? Oja Oba?

-Okay. Uh… -Sir.

So, when I get there, I'm to ask for Baba Jawe what?

Jawelegbo Sogun? Alright, no problem.

-Sir, you need to sign this document. -I am on the phone.

-Okay, sorry, sir. -Okay.

So, when I get to Oja Oba at Iseyi, I… Really? He’s well-known?

Alright.

Alright, bro. I owe you one.

Thanks, yeah

-Here are the documents you asked me to-- -Didn't you see me making a call?

Didn't I tell you I was on the phone before you told me it was urgent?

-Oh, I'm sorry about that, sir. -You're sorry about what?

Pocket your sorry. What don't you understand?

I just thought you should quickly sign--

-I should quickly sign it? -Yes, sir.

-For what reason? -Uh, because…

I want you to give me a reason why I should quickly sign it.

-Because you said I should prepare-- -Because it's your father's company?

-Right? No, wait. Who owns this company? -No. No.

-It's yours, sir. -Who pays the salary?

-You, sir. -Me. Then what?

I'm asking you a question!

-When I talk to you, answer me! -I'm sorry, sir.

-Why?! You're sorry?! -I'm sorry, sir.

Yes, sir. I'm… I'm sorry, sir.

When you told me earlier that I had to sign, what did I tell you?

-I told you I would do it later. -Yes, sir.

So, when I told you I'd sign later, why were you still pestering me?

-I realized there was no more time-- -Why were you pestering me?

Is it your company or… Hey! Come back here! Pick it up!

Yes, sir.

-Listen to me. -Yes, sir.

-You are the one chasing me about, right? -Yes, sir.

-You're the ones chasing me? -No, sir.

-I'm asking you! -No, sir.

-Go! Get out! -Yes, sir.

Go away! Go!

Hey! Bimpe, come back!

Alright, I'm sorry. Bring it.

Give me.

I can't find the pen, sir…

-Hey, hey, relax. Find a pen, okay? -Okay, sir.

-Relax and find a pen. Just give me. -Okay, sir.

Let me… Let me get another one, sir.

This is it, sir.

-Bimpe, I am sorry. -Yes, sir.

Where do I sign?

Here and here, sir.

And the last page, sir.

Sir, I don't know what the problem is,

but everything will be fine.

-Bimpe, I'm very sorry. -No, no. It's fine, sir.

-I'm sorry. -Stop crying.

-Stop crying, sir. -You may go.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

-I'm sorry. -Yes, sir.

-Tell the GM to pay the workers under him -Okay, sir.

-and other places -Yes, sir.

for the weekend.

I'll see you guys later.

What's wrong? What happened?

Isn’t that our friend calling? Come on. Answer his call.

I won't answer the call.

It's not a big deal. Answer the call.

Look, I won't answer his call.

If he wants to kill us all, let him go ahead. I won't answer his call.

But if you want to pity him,

you may answer his call and get yourself killed.

If he’s going to kill anyone, you are older.

Is dying an age thing?

What I'm saying is, we are friends, but you are older than me.

Go ahead and answer the call. Answer it, if you are not afraid to die.

Fine, I’m afraid of death, but you're as bold as a lion, so you take the call.

I’m not bold right now. Go ahead and take the call since you are the bold one.

Come on. Answer your call.

-I won't. -Why?

Why should I answer the call?

I intentionally called you while I stood over there watching you,

but you didn’t answer my call. Why?

Why should I take your call?

You're asking why you should take my call?

Yes. Didn't you threaten our friend's life?

Over what? Yet you expect me to answer your call.

We may be friends truly, but I believe you should be more mature since you're older.

So, you really thought I meant what I said?

Do you make jokes about death?

Subomi, how can you say this?

Why would I suddenly want to kill Enitan, whom I love?

I was just bluffing.

I was just bluffing.

If you were really bluffing, then death is not something to bluff about.

Who would wait around after hearing his death sentence?

Don't be mad at me.

If I went too far

or you believe what I said was too heavy… After much thought,

I realized my words were truly too heavy, and that's the reason I've been calling.

I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry with me.

But the problem we're facing now

is the reason I've been calling, but you didn't take the call.

It seems Enitan’s problem originated from my family. Yeah.

The day we had that argument at my place,

remember my wife was in the house.

She heard how we shouted at each other. She heard everything we discussed.

She knew I wasn’t okay with that issue.

She asked about it.

I don't hide anything from her, so I told her everything.

You know how our wives can be.

The next thing she did was to go to her mom, and she told her everything.

With the turn of events in Enitan's life, after much thought,

it occurred to me that my mother in-law may be the source of Enitan's problems.

-What? -Yes. With… With…

With the way I perceive things, my mother-in-law may be responsible.

Please, our dear friend, if you won’t take offense to my question,

is your mother-in-law a witch?

What?

Answer him. He just asked you a simple question.

-Yeah. -But he asked a childish question.

-So, that’s not a good question? -That's a huge question coming from him.

It's not. It's just a question.

-The way he said it is not okay. -It's a simple question.

Hold on. It's a simple question.

Our dear friend, is your mother-in-law a witch?

What if I say my mother-in-law is a witch?

Ah! You are both talking trash.

The one who dances sarcastically

The one who is alive The bird who flies above

A witch's bird is called the dark bird

Screeching mercilessly

Searching for it's prey

The bells ring out

What can my eyes not see?

It sees all around

The birds are going on an outing The birds of the world

The witches are going on an outing Osoronga

The birds are going on an outing The birds of the world

The witches are going on an outing Osoronga

They never knew The witches were powerful in Ado

In Ado, in Ado

They never knew the witches

Were powerful in Ota

They never knew the witches Were powerful in Ado

In Ado, in Ado

They never knew the witches

Were powerful in Ota

The witches chased him from Ado

He ran to Ota

The witches chased him from Ado

He ran to Ota

They never knew the witches Were powerful in Ota

The vulture is the initiate of the earth The hornbill is the initiate of heaven

The hawk is the initiate of the jungle The falcon is the initiate of the wild

The toucan with his massive beak

The great egret with its delicate feathers

The crow, the initiate of Oyo

Different in fate

Each standing on it's own

Olufa was given a divination

They wanted to kill Orunmila

Orunmila told them He can't be killed or conquered

They asked him why not?

He reminded them of their pact

They asked what was used to make the pact

He told them he does not want a mortar

At that trying period

The novice who created the witches Have been totally fatigued

The novice who created the witches Have been totally fatigued

In the name of Jesus! In the name of Jesus!

Honey!

What is it? What’s the matter?

-What is it? What happened? Enitan. -Nothing.

You screamed in your sleep. I'm asking what happened to you.

You said nothing.

You'll be moping around the house, and I'll ask you what the problem is,

you'll say nothing.

When I give you food, you don't eat it. If I ask you why you didn't eat,

-you'll say nothing. -Nothing.

Look, Enitan, I’m fed up. What exactly is the matter?

We are husband and wife. Can’t we confide in each other?

All you ever tell me is nothing, nothing, nothing.

What is it? If it's not working for you, you can send me back to my parents.

Nothing.

Father Lord, please save my soul.

Please.

In Jesus name.

My Father and my Lord.

Don’t let the storm of life overwhelm me.

Lord, deliver me from Satan and his plots.

Lord, save me from evil people.

Feyisara,

you are a bad person, so you kept this to yourself all this while?

You are not supposed to hide something this serious,

yet you've been keeping it to yourself all this while.

Oredunmola, why are you talking like this? You know me better than that.

Hold on. Can I be aware of something this grave and sit still?

I’ve been in the dark all along.

I didn't know anything.

But I remember he told me one day we went out

that a young girl gave him a message.

But sincerely, my friend, I never took it seriously.

I didn't take it seriously. I just overlooked what he told me.

You know what? We no longer sleep in the same room.

I'm telling you. My husband and I no longer share a bed.

And he’s always cranky, like a bitter dog.

When I couldn't take it any longer,

I told him last night that it would be better for me to go back to my parents.

That was when he opened up to me and told me all that had been going on.

The reason he had been going from corner to corner, he told me everything.

Oredunmola, I'm also confused. I didn't know anything.

Humans can be so diabolical. Arinola… So, you carried out your threat?

Arinola as how? I'm telling you about what is going on in my home.

You're talking about Arinola. What has she got to do with this?

Feyisara, have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten Arinola said you and Enitan would not marry each other?

That rather than marrying each other, you will to die. Have you forgotten?

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Arin?!

Arinola?!

What is the meaning of this? Who asked you to come in?

What's this nonsense?

-Arinola? -Yes!

-Why are you behaving this way towards us? -Yeah?

Please, do we look like people who came here for nonsense?

What are you here for?

-Arinola, please, for God's sake… -Come on. Keep quiet!

When you were told not to do it, you didn't listen.

Anyone who tries what no one has ever tried

will experience what no one has ever experienced. Straight!

-Arinola! -Oredun!

You are responsible for her misfortune,

and you're still bragging about it in her presence?

-Yeah. -Ah.

-This is not good. -Really?

I’ve often heard that you don’t see blood on a witch’s lip.

Take a look. Have you seen it?

Yet you have blood smeared all over your lips.

Arinola?

Stop it. Arinola, Arinola, what is it?

-Oredunmola, please, for God's sake. -Come on. Leave me alone!

She is our friend. Let's tell her the truth!

You said her husband would die,

and we’re already seeing signs that he will die soon.

Ah! You're a real witch! A powerful witch.

The type I’ve only seen in the movies.

I am now staring at one.

Arinola, you are wicked.

You are wicked!.

You are wicked, and you are a witch!

That’s right! We are witches. We are the daughters of the seven witches.

All of whom never forgives.

Once it's daylight, we search for other people’s children to feast on.

Continue counting down

because, very soon, you’ll be getting condolence visits.

-I reject it. -Ah.

Big sis, don’t you want to have fun anymore?

Get out. Out!

Please get out!

See, I will never worship God and Mammon.

God is the only one I worship and serve.

I don't have anywhere else to go. Please, come to my aid.

All you are saying is not my doing.

Please, don't accuse me of what I know nothing of.

-Mommy. -Yes?

Thank you. I appreciate you.

Thank you so much. You are a mother indeed.

I’ve known this before now.

But you're still showing this fact to my friends that are seated here

and every other person.

Because there's hardly any woman at your level who will be accused

of doing something or belonging to a cult who won't get offended.

Such a person will be greatly offended. We won't even have this discussion.

But thank you so much, because I know you have no one else other than your daughter,

who is my wife, and I. We are the only ones you've got.

Thank you very much, Ma.

Concerning the matter at hand, I know you are not to be blamed.

She is to be blamed.

Because I don’t know why she came to tell you about it.

She ought to have asked me first before coming to you.

Wasn't it what she told you that upset you and caused you to react?

That was the reason you got really angry.

You wouldn't sit still while something like that was happening to me.

You'd do anything within your power.

Both my wife and I are very happy, and we really appreciate that.

But these friends of mine, there's no one among them that I don't love.

I see them as my wife. I see them as my blood.

Take a look at Enitan sitting over there.

May God… Look, Mama, may God never allow us to weep over anyone.

Look at this young man seated over there.

People are forecasting his death date.

Telling him that witches are going to kill him

on a specific day.

What parent will be happy to hear such news?

His parents will be sad at the approach of their son's death date.

And I know you don't pray

to weep over me and your daughter, who is my wife.

That was the reason me and my friends met, to discuss it, right?

-No, no. -Before God and man, Ma,

I came here for peace. I came here, so we could plead with you. What did we discuss?

-I didn’t hear you. -What I know is…

-We didn't hold any discussion? So… -Sola, wait. What did we discuss?

Calm down. You explained the situation to us. And we said if we could see Mama,

we would plead with her, right?

Are we not saying the same thing? That was what we discussed.

Come on. Listen. Be quiet.

Didn't we have an understanding? You said it yourself

that anyone who behaves that way is a witch.

-Ah! -Yes, you said so. You said…

-S-Sola… -Please, anything you want…

-G-Get up, get up. -Mommy, please, please.

It shall be well with you. I said get up, get up.

Whatever your coven wants

so my friend will not die, I'm ready to give it to you.

We are ready to give it to you. Please, for God's sake.

Sola, what coven?

-What coven are you talking about? -Uh…

-Are you just staring at me? -See…

Mommy, please, for God's sake, I'm the one who came to report the matter to you.

My husband and I no longer want to drag the issue. Please,

please forgive them.

Mommy, remember the day I came to visit you,

you and your friend were discussing about a contribution.

A contribution?

-Good day. -Thank you, Ma.

Mama, let's get straight to the point. I see you have a visitor.

Who is the visitor? She is your daughter.

She will have to wait till we are done.

You know I haven’t seen her in a while.

I called you here because of the contribution.

We don’t know what is really going on.

-But it’s your turn. Yes. -Really?

-It’s my turn? -Yes.

Is that the reason your friend is holding on to the contribution?

Can one take over what belongs to someone else?

Didn’t she eat hers with ease when it was her turn?

Why then is she holding on to mine? Why isn't she giving me what belongs to me?

Mother, you get whatever you put in.

No one contributes that does not get theirs.

She'll give it to you when the time is right. Put your mind at ease.

So, when should I expect it?

You will get it. It is your turn.

You know what? You know you're the leader of the contribution.

If your friend does not give me my own contribution,

what belongs to me, I'll take it from you.

Yes.

Anyone who prepares the melon will savor it's taste.

It's your turn, and we all know it.

And it's a must that you get it. There's no need for you to threaten anyone.

Whether you like it or not, you will get it. You will collect it with your hands.

See, everyone collected what belonged to them.

It's a must for me to also collect what belongs to me. So I can eat it

for the benefit of my body.

It's true we were talking about a contribution.

It was a church contribution.

You know there are different types of groups in the church.

God’s blessing group…

Jesus, my fortress, and so on.

We are doing weekly contributions, rotating each member's turn.

We were discussing about our contribution. Lalounpe and I.

She's the leader of the contribution.

Uh… I'm not talking about the church contribution.

You've forgotten that I was with you on that day.

You told your friend that if her friend defaulted,

she would pay for it.

I heard everything you said.

It's true, I said so. See, her own friend already took her own contribution,

but she didn't give me mine.

I was telling the leader

that if her friend defaults,

she will be the one to pay for it.

Everybody collected theirs and did something nice with it.

I also want to collect mine, to collect what belongs to me.

Whoever prepares the melon should be the one to savor the soup.

That I may also enjoy myself.

That's the meaning of the contribution. Please, help me.

Please.

Jesus Christ, whom I worship, can bear me witness.

I am innocent. The God that I serve can bear me witness. I serve no other God.

Mama, you are not the witch that wants to kill me?

God forbid. I don’t know anything about it.

My Creator forbids it.

-Mama, thank you very much. Ma. -Yes?

-Did… Can… Thank you so much. -Honey, let's go.

When someone like me dies, people will be singing

for the angel to take Mama to heaven.

Sola, thank you.

Sola? Sola? Abebi, you too?

I told my husband what I heard. Honey?

Honey?

-Abebi? Abebi? -Mommy. Yes. Ma?

So, you couldn't defend me in my absence?

When I heard you talking about the contribution, I felt…

So, when I said I was making a contribution,

does that mean I use other people's children for the contribution?

No, Ma.

Mommy.

I'm not afraid of death.

It’s you I am worried about.

The death of a grown child makes a woman a witch.

Mommy, I'm the only one you've got.

If I die all of a sudden,

people will call you names.

What hurts me most in this situation

is that I don't have any children to compensate you.

All the efforts I made, the efforts you asked me to make…

If God answers our prayers and I survive this, I’ll still eventually die one day.

If we don't die today, we'll still die eventually.

I'm not afraid. I'm only concerned for you, Mommy.

Mopelola, the Prophetess.

The bible says,

"What shall it profit a man

who gains the whole world and loses his soul?

What will he get in return?"

-Enitan. -Yes, Mommy?

One’s grandchild is a reward.

One’s child is her authentic person.

Her most significant asset.

I’ve always told you to marry early,

so you won't raise a child in old age.

Lord, Lord.

Get up. Let us pray.

Oh Lord! The powerful one of Zion.

The King of kings.

The Lord of lords.

Where is your face?

What have I done?

What did my son do to offend you?

The only son you gave to me, Lord. Why do you want to take him from me?

What have I done? What did he do?

You called me into ministry, and I answered your call. Father!

The living God who is not the God of the dead, come down.

Amen, in Jesus name.

-Oh Lord, come down. -Amen, in Jesus name.

You said we should ask. We are asking. Answer us.

-Amen, in Jesus name. -You asked us to knock. We are knocking.

-Amen, in Jesus name. -Open the door of life.

-Shut the door of death. -Amen.

Shut the door of diseases. Do not let the plans of Satan prevail.

In the name of Jesus! By the power in the blood of the lamb.

The death on the cross of calvary. The blood and water that flows.

-Oh Lord, come down. -Amen, in Jesus!

Let the death on the cross of calvary become your redemption.

-Amen, in Jesus name. -Let it be the redemption for Enitan.

I hear a voice,

-saying the day draws nearer. -Ah!

The powerful one in Zion!

I see this vision.

-The first day… -Ah.

-The second day… -Ah.

The third day…

The fourth day…

The fifth day…

-The sixth day… -God.

-The seventh day… -My Lord.

The eighth day…

The… The…

The ninth day…

Oh changer of evil to good.

Hope you are not offended that I asked you to come into this place.

No, sir.

There's a reason I asked you to come into my bedroom.

What I want to discuss with you

is not something we can talk about in the presence of others.

That's the reason I asked you here.

-Alhaji Enitan. -Sir.

Alhaji Sodiq, who introduced us to one another…

Please, do you have a close relationship with him?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

And you trust him?

I trust Sodiq very much.

That means since you trust Alhaji Sodiq, then you'll believe everything I tell you.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

See, the day we spoke on the phone,

I prayed concerning all you told me about.

I’ve also done into the assignment you gave me.

You need to run.

You need to seriously run.

It is only God

that can prevent the witches from killing you in nine days.

The way the Muslim clerics claim to know God,

the only thing can save you from getting killed is for you to get closer to God.

no doubt about the witches and wizard's existence.

The Nupes say…

Enemies within enemies.

Only God can prevent the witches from killing you in nine days.

Ah.

God is the greatest.

Oh Lord, you are just looking at me.

You created me yet you're just looking at me.

Thank you, Alfa.

Welcome, Ma.

Welcome, Mommy. Welcome, Ma.

My dear.

Mommy, why did you take a bike? What about your driver?

If I hadn't taken a bike, I wouldn't be here in two hours. I had to see you.

But Mommy, I just left your place not too long ago.

You could have just called me on the phone to come back.

I know, but I didn’t want to have this discussion within the church compound

because I didn't want the people within the compound to hear what I had to say.

-Alright, Mommy. -Do you understand?

What do I prepare for your breakfast?

My dear, let me finish with your husband first.

When I'm done, then you can prepare whatever I like for me. Do you understand?

Alright, Ma.

Jesus Christ. In Jesus name. By the power in the blood of Jesus.

-You wanted to discuss something with me? -Yes.

Will you get a chair and sit down?

it’s not something we can discuss while standing.

-Let us pray. In the name of Jesus! -Amen.

-By the power in the blood of Jesus. -Amen.

-Our Father and Lord, have mercy on us. -Your Majesty.

-Lord, help us. Lead us on the right path. -Amen, in Jesus name.

In Jesus name we pray.

Amen! Amen!! Amen! In Jesus name.

-Enitan. -Ma.

I told you to do some running around so the witches wouldn't kill you.

-Yes, Ma. Yes, I did. -Did you do that?

-You did? -Yes, I did.

-Were you given anything where you went? -Yes, they gave me some things.

Let me see them.

I got these ones from…

Some Islamic clerics gave me these ones.

Then they gave me these ones too.

-Who gave you this? -A professor gave it to me.

The professor is very powerful.

He’s only doing business.

He made a good sale for the candle seller, the cloth seller, and the thread seller.

This cannot do anything. It's a mere fake.

This can’t even work on a breeze, neither can it work on man.

No.

This one can’t work on an ant, and it certainly won't work on a human. It's fake

Mommy, I spent close to ten million naira getting that fixed.

I was told the person traveled to get it prepared.

Enitan! Who gave you this?

Some people gave it to me.

This is an illusionist.

This is an illusionist. This can’t work at all.

They tested it's potency in my presence.

It was an illusion. You were hypnotized.

You were hypnotized.

Hmm… Interesting.

What about this one? See this one?

-This will work. This will work. -Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus.

But it cannot save you from the clutches of the witches.

Enitan, you have done a good job. This is Sango’s bind.

Yes, Ma.

It was given to me by Baba Mogba of a Sango cult in Osun.

They said it has power over the witches.

They said Sango has power over the witches, such that

if any of Sango’s devotee’s wife becomes a witch,

Sango will kill her eventually.

So, they assured me after the rituals that the witches can’t threaten me anymore.

They didn’t tell you the whole story.

When Sango raises his scepter like this,

it is the crows that perch on it.

That's the secret behind Sango's power. The witches gave him powers.

If Sango is more powerful than the witches,

will he need to obtain powers from them?

I am done.

Lord…

-Enitan! -Ma?

You don’t want the witches to kill you?

Mommy, it’s because of you.

Mommy,

if I die at such a young age, who will take care of you?

I don’t want the witches to kill me because of you.

Now listen attentively.

Get a pen and a paper.

-Okay. -Or get your phone and have it recorded.

Enitan.

You will get a big pot…

A pot…

…that can hold lots of water.

-Um… A water pot? -Yes.

-You will get a calabash and firewood. -Okay.

Okay.

-Are you listening? -Yes, Ma.

Then you will go to Badagry.

You will fetch some sea water.

Yes, that's it.

You'll go to Ilorin, to Okesunna,

not the present Okesunna.

The one inside the University of Ilorin.

That’s where the Sheikhs collectively gathered

to build Ilorin the second time.

You will gather as much soil as you can on that rock and put them somewhere.

You will go to Ikogosi,

to the point where hot and cold water meet.

You will fetch some.

You will go to The Erin Ijesa waterfall.

When you get to the fall, remove your shoes,

go into the water.

Dear, please be careful.

Wash your head with the water.

After you've washed your head, collect some of the water in a container.

Be careful, dear! Gently. Please don't lose your footing. Have pity on me!

Gather three hard stones

and put them into the water.

Pray on it, then bring it home.

-Hello, Ma. I want to buy table water. -Good afternoon.

Take the money! The things inside!

Please, sir! The things at the back!

Please just give us the things at the back!

Please, the things inside! Leave them for us!

Fool.

A traitor should never betray the dark

because it has repercussions.

A traitor dare not betray an initiate.

My friend, do not betray me. For a betrayer

-will perish. -She will definitely perish.

-She will perish! -Yes, big sis.

That lady is not in her right mind.

-She thinks she can get away with it. -She has been caught in our trap.

-The fool thought she could get away -That's right.

The fool thought she could get away

The idiot stuck her head into my snare

Right where I, Arinola, set it.

-What is it? -Big sis.

The fool thought she could get away She has been caught.

She ain’t seen nothing yet.

She will suffer so much that her third generation will…

-Weep for her. They will weep for her! -partake out it.

-Ha! Big sis! -They will weep for her!

-Unfortunate being. -Yes. She doesn't know us.

Let's continue to jubilate and celebrate

Things have turned out the way we want.

Stupid fool.

-Old one, old one. -Old one, please.

-Please help us. Please, for God's sake. -Please have pity on us. Help us.

Armed robbers just waylaid us and took our belongings.

They took our car too.

-They've stolen our car, sir. Please, sir. -Please.

That means you were the ones being shot at.

Yes. They were shooting at us.

-They stole our car. Please help us. -Please, sir.

We heard the gunshots.

-Or were you the ones shooting? -Ah.

-No. We don’t have guns. -It's not us.

-They were the ones shooting. -We don't have guns.

-You don’t have guns? -Yes.

It's them. Please, help us.

Help you? The world is a wicked place.

Things are happening. If you stay here for too long,

-Yes, please take us there. -Uh… A police station?

-Yes. -Please take us there, sir.

-Please, sir. -But don't try anything funny.

With the way you're behaving, if you try anything funny,

I have a potent charm here on me, and I will use it on you.

-Ah, Old one. -Should I use it on you?

We have no phones, so how do you want to flash us? We have no phones.

-We don't have phones. -Our phones are not here.

Who’s talking about phones? I'm telling you I have a potent charm.

-Don't use the charm on us. -Ah. Old one, please.

-Please don't. A charm? -Don't use a charm on us.

-Let's go, let's go. -Don't try anything funny.

This bike does not start easily. Push it.

-We should push it forward a bit? -Push it,

-so we can go together. -Alright.

Sit down.

Good evening, officers.

Good evening. Please, we are here to make a report.

Good evening, Ma.

Please Ma, we came from Ondo going to Ibadan.

Just as we passed Ife a bit…

Madam, I'm talking to you.

Madam!

Aren't we talking to you?

What’s all this nonsense?

I was talking to you, but you were busy applying make-up.

Are you not supposed to serve and protect the citizens?

Yet you're just sitting there applying lipstick on duty.

-What sort of nonsense is that? -Hey, hey. Is the lipstick a gun?

Yes, it’s affecting me.

Because I'm making a complaint and she’s ignoring me.

-It’s affecting you? Is that -Yes!

the reason you're talking to a senior officer in that manner?

Don't you know you're at the station?

Hope you're not going mad.

-No, I’m not. -Ah.

-It seems you're running mad. -Excuse you.

I beg your pardon! How dare you ask my wife if she’s running mad!

What nonsense are you saying?

You are talking to a senior officer like that.

-What concerns me with your predicament? -Hey, hey.

Emma, calm down.

Who am I to you?

-What's the meaning of that? -Who am I to you?

You are talking to a police officer with three ranks.

-Three ranks. -Three ranks.

In case you can't see well, take a good look.

So, you didn't see it?

I am a one-man one-woman battalion.

The whole of this community put to flight at the mere mention of my name.

Sorry, Ma.

You just opened your mouth…

-This is rude. -Yes.

Can I lock them up?

That's what it will eventually come to.

When the time comes, how do we report it to the boss?

I’m really furious.

-I don't understand. -They are thieves.

-What?! -Uh…

What’s the meaning of the nonsense you are saying?

Who are you calling thieves?

Offense number two.

See how you are addressing a senior police officer.

-You are done for. -Tell him.

-What are you both doing? -Ah!

He wants to poke my eyes out. Offense number three.

He's not trying to poke your eyes out.

He's pointing a finger at the officer.

-Officer. -Let's get out of here, please.

Offense number four!

He's trying to run away.

Good. You want to run away from the police station.

-Take the man to… -Take them off.

-What is this? -What is all this?

-What are you doing? -Take the man to the cell.

Put the wife behind the counter.

-Come this way. -You can speak English fluently, right?

That grammar will earn you eight days in the cell.

-Now, come this way. -Do you… Do you think what you are…

-Do you think what you're doing is normal? -Are you questioning me?

You've not yet seen anything.

-See how you are roughing my husband up. -Are you questioning me?

-Come this way. -Madam, do you know what you are doing?

There's a separate cell for women.

I am just having pity on you because of what you said happened.

I'm pitying you. You better come this way.

Do you think what you're doing is normal? Honey, don't argue. Just…

-Come this way, nice and easy. -Let her argue.

Just argue.

That's how all of you will be apprehended one after the other.

-Why are you doing this? -Come this way!

We are just getting started.

You can speak English, right?

She will speak English for eight days in the cell.

Come this way!

Lord, rescue us from these people.

You little birds with tiny beaks.

Oh!

You big birds with widespread wings.

Oh!

You blacksmith who grinds the left and never the right.

Did you know that the blacksmith board consumes blood every day?

Is that not so?

Yes, it is.

The seller of yesterday's leftover pap still carries them around.

To avoid any form of controversy, before the feast begins,

-please, who will eat the head? -We will eat the head.

-Which one of you wants to eat the marrow? -We will eat the marrow.

Which of you wants to finish up the remaining part?

We will eat up the remaining part.

-That can't even satisfy me. -That's true.

Don't even think of eating the heart. It belongs to me.

Enitan, son of Mopelola.

Dead leaves don’t change its mind halfway from dropping down.

We are the ones who speaks to the heavens.

If the chameleon says black, the Creator will say yes.

If it says red, the Creator will say yes. If he says white,

the Creator will say yes.

Shall we begin? Do you know we are the eaters of the head and arms?

Yes!

We are the eaters of the liver and heart.

That’s right!

We are the eaters of the intestine and gall bladder.

Yes!

Oh God save me! Oh God come to my rescue!

All the items I have mentioned,

-Yes, Ma. -you will gather them

before the ninth day.

On that ninth day,

you must be in your home, nowhere else.

If I am going to die, please let me know who I offended.

Lord, you are the most powerful.

You are more powerful than any man. Why? What exactly did I do, oh God?

Get me out of here!

Hey! Who is there? Get me out of there!

Oh Jesus Christ.

Get me out of here!

I want to go home!

What is happening here?

Whose voice is that? Who is the person shouting inside?

Good morning, sir!

My husband and I were coming from somewhere yesterday.

We were robbed, and our car was stolen.

We decided to come to the nearest police station to file a report.

I was put behind the counter while my husband was locked up in the cell

-He didn't ask you to speak! -since yesterday.

-Sir! -Awawu.

Sir.

Is that true?

Actually, he abused the officer in charge.

Exactly.

-Awawu. -Sir!

What police college did you attend?

Boss, you ought to know. It’s Kayamo.

-Kayamo? -Yes, sir. Close to Kadarah.

We attended the same police college. That's why you say I ought to know.

And you,

were you present when the incident happened?

No, I was not there. I was…

Hey! Clean off that thing by the side of your mouth.

-He was here, sir. -I was not.

Actually, he was the one who took the prisoner into the cell.

Shut your mouth.

Okay. Go and bring the man.

Bring the criminal.

His breath stinks horribly of Indian hemp.

-I said you should go and bring the man. -The boss said… Obey the last order!

-Stop. Don't do that. -Foolish boy.

Stop that.

-Did you give the command? -So sorry, sir.

Good morning, sir.

What is your name, and what really happened?

My name is Enitan Henry Obaloluwa.

-I am Obalot Nigeria Ltd. -Wait, wait.

-Obalot Oil and Gas? -Yes, sir.

-Obalot Farms? -Yes, sir.

-You didn't tell us that much. -Obalot Storage, Obalot Freight.

I own Obalot.

You are Obalot? Obalot Inflammable?

Obalot Poultry? Owner of the petrol station…

-Will you stop that? Shut up! -And pigs.

Is it until he reveals his identity?

-Sorry, sir. -And that is what you have both done.

My good friend,

what really happened?

My wife and I were traveling back from Ondo yesterday.

We went to do something.

Just after we passed the crossroad of Ile-Ife, armed robbers stole my car.

What a pity.

They stole my car. Someone helped us.

We asked for the nearest police station, thinking it's a haven for citizens.

When we got here, Madam asked him to lock me up because she was applying lipstick,

and my wife reprimanded her for not attending to us.

Ah, ah. Sir, you should fear God.

I said you should stop.

If you dare talk again, you will see another side of me.

And I was locked up there since last night.

Without even listening to us. Why?

-I was not there. -Did…

-The incident happened in Ife, right? -Yes, sir.

They radioed in from the headquarters.

They said some armed robbers were apprehended in that area,

and a vehicle was involved.

The registration number is NLD 721…

That's my car! That's my car!

-That’s my car. Yes. -That is your car?

That's the car that was snatched from me yesterday.

And I will make sure the two of you are defaulted and tried.

Underlined, defaulted and tried.

Um… Where's Sule?

Okay, take this man to Osogbo, to the headquarters.

-Do you get me? -Yes, sir. It's very deep, sir.

-What do you mean? -Uh… There's no fuel

in the car, It's completely empty.

-There's no fuel? Okay. -If we are to take that car,

we'll have to push it to the headquarters, sir.

Okay. Then,

take the key to my car

and drive it to the headquarters.

Ah! Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Lord. Thank you.

-Is that it? -Thank you. Yes, sir.

Honey, your bag is not here. My phone…

Honey, none of our phones are here.

My phone isn't here. Yours isn't…

Honey, I need my wallet. The cards.

Honey, there's no phone, no bag, no wallet.

-We got what is most important. -They've given your bag to someone.

-Please, I need to ask them. -Uh…

Our personal belongings are missing from the car.

My wife's bag, purse, our phones.

All those are not there. Please, where are they?

Are you asking me or the lunatics with you?

-Okay, yeah. -Phones?

-I'm asking if you saw my phone. -You must be mad.

Rich man, we are not petty thieves.

We steal expensive things. I mean, very expensive things.

Calm down.

-Babe, what are we gonna do now? -I don't know.

-Mr… -Yes, sir.

What I wanted to tell you is, you won't be able to take this car now.

-I know. -You need the original documents.

Sir, that car can't move in it's current state.

The security system has been tampered with.

-We actually towed it here. -You towed it here.

It can't be moved until the professional who works on it comes here.

Regarding the documents you asked for,

my lawyer will come.

He will bring the original papers. He'll take care of the paperwork.

The problem we have right now is there's no way to get home.

We don't have our phones.

Please, is there a car dealership around here?

I will ask my officer to take you to a car mart.

What are these woods doing there?

Those woods over there. What are they there for?

Baba Sariyu, Madam asked me to put them there.

-Madam asked you to keep them there? -Yes,

-she did. -In this house,

the boss is the first. If he isn't around, the madam is the second in command.

If the madam is not around, then I am in charge of this house.

-Those woods are leaving that place today. -The cook was there when she asked me.

-Baba Sariyu. -As beautiful as this compound is,

-how can someone put these woods here? -Mama cook!

It’s not a Christmas tree.

These woods must be taken out today!

How can someone put this kind of wood here

to ruin the beauty of this place?

-Big sis. -Hmm?

What are you doing up so early?

-I haven’t slept yet. -What happened?

Are you receiving benefits?

What benefits?

I have been chatting with Kayode since yesterday.

He's been begging me not to be angry.

Please, forgive me.

Hold on. So that your Kayode can come off his high horse?

Look, I used you to threaten him. I told him

I have a younger sister who is a strong witch.

-He was shaken. -Not knowing I'm a fake witch.

What do you mean by that? What are you talking about?

Big sis, so you really believe I am a witch?

I was just boasting . Anyone who slaps me

-will get away with it. I don't -That can't be.

have anything. The only charm I have

is a cure for piles. I'm not a witch.

But all our threats are being carried out. That's why they are scared.

Those are pure coincidences.

I am not a witch.

-Maybe you grew your top tooth first. -It's possible. Let's ask Mom.

Let me show you something. It will make you laugh.

-Baba Sariyu! -Baba Sariyu!

-What’s wrong with this man? -Baba Sariyu!

My friend, open the gate for me. See the way he's yawning.

Don't be annoyed sir.

-Boss, where is your car? -Just open the gate!

-I am sorry. -I'll push you. Get out of my way.

-Boss, I hope there's no problem? -Hannah!

-Yes, Ma! -What took you so long?

-Good morning, Ma. -Morning.

Where is the firewood I kept here before I traveled? Go get them for me.

Baba Sariyu threw them away three days ago.

The firewood I asked you to keep here before I traveled?

-Where are they? -Hannah told me Baba Sariyu threw it away.

I told him he shouldn't throw them away. He ought to inform you before doing so.

Don't make me run mad. Where is the firewood?

-Where's the firewood? -Where did you put them?

It was making the ground look dirty, so I decided to throw them out.

-I'm in trouble. Go bring them. -It made the ground look dirty?

Go bring them for me!

Where are they?

-Ah, I am in trouble! -Ah.

What is… What is "I'm in trouble"?

I can’t find the firewood! I don't know where he kept them.

-I kept them there. -Hey, it's okay.

-He says he can't find them. -Baba Sariyu, come here. Come here!

-Were they placed on his head? -Carry these stones for me.

Why didn't you stop him?

It's okay! It's okay! Calm down!

Everybody calm down.

Go gather some plastics, wood, clothes.

Bring everything that can fuel a fire.

-Come carry this. -Come and help me drag this wood.

You're the one that was sent.

-It's okay. -You're the one that was sent.

-You unfortunate being. -Calm down, everybody.

Go bring some more. Go bring the rest!

He wanted to get us into trouble.

It's okay! It's okay! Honey, it's okay.

I heard you.

-Matches! -Where are the matches?

-Kerosine! Kerosine! -Oh my God.

Get me a lighter.

-Hannah! Water! -Sir! Ma!

-Get some water in a bucket. -Okay.

Father Lord, in Jesus name.

Amen. I declare Jesus…

I’m sorry. I didn’t know you’ll still needed them.

Shut up! Shut your mouth!

Yes, sir.

-Give me that! -Okay. I've heard you.

-No, the other one. -Okay.

That's all.

Baba Sariyu, stay here. Jesus, have mercy on me.

-Honey, is it there? -It's there. Drop it in.

Jesus!

Anyone who rises against the witches cannot succeed!

The foreigners fade away!

The one who uses words cannot eat up time.

The mouth of a witch chews continuously.

Jesus! The foreigners fade away. They come frightened

from their hideouts.

-Well done, sir. -Hmm?

-Hello? Okay. -Welcome, sir.

-Where is my wife? -Okay. I'll tell him. Okay.

Boss! Boss!

-What is it? -You have a call, sir!

-What is it? Who is it? -You have a call. It’s Mommy’s driver.

Hello! Hello!!

I lost my phone yesterday.

Even my wife’s phone got lost. What exactly do you want? What is it?

Open the door.

-Tell my wife I'll be back soon. -Okay, sir.

Mommy!

Mommy?

Mother.

Mommy, what happened to you?

What sort of clothes are you wearing?

Mommy, Mommy.

-Ouch! -Sorry, Ma. Mommy.

Why do you look like this?

I am the one.

What are you?

I am the spirit in the bottle called genie.

I am the one under the mask called a masquerade.

-Yeh! Ah! -Mommy.

Mommy, I don’t understand what you're saying.

I am the whirlwind that came to your house to kill you.

Jesus Christ! Jesus!

Mommy, you are the one who wanted to kill me?

What did I do to you? What is my offense?

Mommy, if you wanted to kill me,

you didn’t have to go through all this trouble.

If you had asked me to lay my neck down

for you to cut with a knife, I wouldn’t have argued with you, Mommy.

Mommy, I love you too much. Why?

What exactly did I do to you?

You never offended me.

I've been doing all this because of you.

Because of me? How?

-Enitan… -Mommy.

We didn't name you Enitan when we had you.

Let me take you to the hospital. Mommy, let me take you to the hospital.

Henry Obafunto Obaloluwa

is your given name.

Come on. Leave me alone!

Akanni. Akanni, don’t go.

-I shouldn't go? -Akanni, stop and listen to me.

I should continue looking as my life keeps getting ruined.

Your life will not be ruined, Akanni. Please don't go.

Let's even say I die suddenly,

-so there won't be any child to bury me. -Don't say that.

-Akanni. Children are gifts from God. -Mopelola!

I know children are gifts from God.

Children are gifts from God.

That's why the first one died.

The second one, the third one, and the fourth one.

-The fifth one also died. -Akanni.

Isn't the sixth one currently sick?

Mopelola, you know you're destined to give birth seven times.

You're nursing one, and the other is sick.

Mopelola, look into my eyes.

-We know you can no longer have children. -Akanni.

-Yes? -They are not God.

You keep saying they are not God,

Mopelola, and that's how you're gradually ruining my life.

Akanni, remember the love we started with.

-What stupid love did we start with? -My love, don’t leave me like this.

-Mope, I am leaving you in this house. -Don't leave me naked, please.

Leave me alone! Wretched beady eyed witch.

-Killing off all my children. -Akanni, please don't leave me like this.

Am I a witch?

I am not a witch.

God, am I a witch?

Akanni!

-Please help me! Akanni! -Please carry him.

Mommy, why did you do all this?

After I buried my husband

and the sixth child, who’s your immediate older one…

That was when I began my journey.

So that you too will not suddenly die.

-Ah… -Mommy.

It was while I was on this journey

that I met someone

who introduced me to the cult of the old ones.

Mommy.

After I joined them,

they promised to allow my child to bury me.

-Mommy. -Yes.

-You are a witch? -Yes, I am a witch.

Prophetess.

Why did you do all this?

Since I'm the reason why you joined them,

then why did you want to kill me? What offense did I commit?

No, I don't want to kill you.

They are the ones who said it was time to make my own contribution.

If you can remember…

There was some meat I usually kept in a wire gauze.

Enitan! Enitan, you must not eat it!

Enitan, you mustn’t eat it!

Enitan, don’t eat it! Don't eat it!

Did I tell you to eat this meat when I was not around?

Mom, but this meat is just there in the house.

When I got back from school, I decided to drink gari with it.

Shut up! What meat did you intend to drink garri with?

Did I ask you to eat any meat when I am not at home?

Is there nothing else you can drink your gari with except this meat?

Listen very well. The next time you go near this meat,

I will cut the exact size of what you eat from your body to replace it.

If you eat the size of my thumb, when I check it and see you ate from it,

I will cut it off and use it as a replacement.

If you eat this size, I'll get a cutlass, cut your fist off, and put it back.

Greedy thief!

Never ever touch this again. Do you hear me?

if you don’t want me to lay a curse on you.

I don’t even understand.

I work day and night because of you,

laboring all day. Yet you are still complaining of hunger.

Don’t let me lay a curse on you when next you touch this meat.

Do you hear me? The day you touch it again, I will lay a curse on you.

Seven days after your wedding,

that was when they told me it was my turn

to give my own contribution.

Mommy, but you never ate the meat you took from them,

neither did you allow me to eat it.

Why didn’t you return it to them?

I tried.

Sorry, Ma.

I tried to return it.

I kept it in the wire gauze,

waiting for the day they would ask.

If you can remember, the meat I kept in the wire gauze, I never ate them.

They said they gave me fresh meat,

so they wanted fresh meat in return.

Not the fresh meat I took from them and roasted

-in the wire gauze. -Ah.

Mommy, I was supposed to be the fresh meat you would have given to them.

-Ah! But Mommy, -Yes.

why did you…

teach me what do?

-Enitan! -Mommy. Sorry.

-Watch it. -Sorry, Ma.

-Enitan! -Ma.

It's because I want to be buried by my child.

If I did not hand you over myself,

no witch on earth or in heaven

could kill you.

That was the reason I taught you

how you would

kill me before I killed you.

So my child can… can…

-Mommy! Mommy! -bury… bury…

Jesus! Help me!

Mother!

Elder! Elder! Jesus!

O God! You're the one the whole world seeks.

You are the Lord of heaven and earth.

Are you within the fence of this holy temple?

Are you in the surrounding of this place of worship, Lord?

Or are you with the Muslim cleric I visited?

Oh Lord!

The King with significant power and authority.

The Lord whom the whole world bows to.

My King who owns the earth and it's fullness thereof.

My Lord, the lord over witches and wizards.

My Lord, King over the herbalists and the medicine men.

Oh Lord! Lord over all who call on you.

King over pastors and clerics. Oh Lord!

King over the earthly kings.

My Lord, King over the slaves of earth.

Oh God! You are the only King over the wealthy.

King over those who have nothing.

Oh Lord, I have walked.

My Father, I have walked.

I went to the herbalists in an effort to save my life.

They all turn to you for directions.

Oh Lord, I also went to the Muslim Sheikh.

They also admitted it’s you they turn to.

Oh Lord,

I went to the pastors and prophets.

My Father, they said you were the one they turn to.

Oh Lord, even the white garment churches

also said you are the one they turn to.

My Lord, where are you?

Oh Lord, I, your son, have come

To raise my pleas to you

Just as you heard Elijah's prayers

Father, hear my prayer

My Father and my Lord.

In your presence,

by your holy altar,

in your wisdom and power.

My mother may be wrong,

but my Lord, in the little human wisdom

you gave me,

my mother did no wrong in my perception.

She did it to preserve my life.

Oh Lord!

Oh Lord!

Don’t let my mother die.

Lord, if my mother dies, if you take my mother away,

then you have killed me, Lord. You have killed me.

My mother is the only one I have.

Have mercy on me, oh Lord!

Oh Holy Father.

The Almighty one. The Lord strong and mighty.

Lord, have mercy on me.

My mother took a lost path.

My mother committed great atrocities.

My mother wore a white garment and committed evil crimes.

Lord, that's exactly how it is.

But Lord, my mother is a good person.

She did all that for my sake.

Lord, please. Lord, please.

Lord, please!

-Thank you, thank you. -Sorry, Ma. May God heal you.

-Amen. Thank you. I'm grateful. -Don't worry. We'll come visit you again.

-I appreciate you. -Elder,

-let's go. -Thank you. My regard to your people.

-Good afternoon, Ma. -Mommy.

-Sorry, Ma. -How are you?

-How is your health? -Since I've seen you both, I'm better.

-Good afternoon, Ma. -How are you?

Mommy, how are you feeling now?

Thank you, my dear. How about Nurse Kekere?

-She hasn't come to to see you? -I haven’t seen her today.

She has resumed. Don't worry. She’ll come and see you.

-Who is Nurse Kekere? -She is one of our nursing students.

She’s been with us for two years and two months now.

She comes during the holidays.

She’s the youngest among us. That’s why we call her Nurse Kekere.

-Oh really? -Yes.

-She's very pleasant. Ah! Nurse Kekere. -Good afternoon, Ma.

-I've been expecting you. -How is your health?

I am doing well. Thank you.

I just wanted to tell you to do all you can to fortify your life.

Because in 21 days, the witches will kill you.

Nurse Kekere!

Nurse Kekere!

The one who sleeps does not move.

The one who doesn't run, will not get to his destination on time.

God prompted you to act quickly.

God prompted me to act quickly.

My name is Henry Enitan Obaloluwa.

And this is my story.
