‪Everybody needs to come to work on Sunday.

‪Can you hear me?

‪-No problem. Welcome sir. ‪-If you want to go to church, go at home.

‪Brotherly! Enter, enter.

‪-Let me not squash him. ‪-Boss, good afternoon.

‪Look at that.

‪Look at his cheeks like my wife's ass.

‪See how soft it is.

‪You're still giving birth in this economy?

‪Bro, you married a beautiful woman.

‪You like good things. ‪Please, enter, enter, enter.

‪Go and tell Madam ‪our visitors have arrived.

‪-Okay sir. ‪-Come and sit down close to me.

‪Sit down close to me. Move, move.

‪Sit down.

‪Bro!

‪Sit down, please.

‪I hope you're hungry, my wife has cooked ‪enough to feed the entire ManU team.

‪You're welcome!

‪Aww, look at how cute he is.

‪-Look at his cheeks. ‪-You've started.

‪Come here.

‪-You're welcome ‪-Welcome.

‪This is my wife, Idia.

‪Baby, this is Brother Efe, ‪whom I told you about.

‪Bro, welcome. ‪I hope it wasn't hard to find the address?

‪-No. ‪-You're welcome.

‪What would you like to drink?

‪-Some spirit, maybe? ‪-We don't really drink.

‪I don't understand.

‪You must drink juice at least.

‪I can bring some.

‪It's cold juice.

‪-I think they're hungry. ‪-I think so.

‪Boss,

‪is there a place where we can...

‪Of course. ‪Baby, carry the one who's crying.

‪-Don't worry. Carry him. ‪-Sis, follow me, I'll take you upstairs.

‪Sit down, sit down.

‪Sit down.

‪Sit down.

‪Let women handle women's matters.

‪You know how women are, when they see ‪children, they forget they come from us.

‪It's good this way.

‪Let's be together.

‪Eh? Are you sure you don't want anything?

‪Bro, I'm good.

‪Efe, relax.

‪You won't understand ‪the kind of financial pressure I'm under.

‪Boss, what my eyes have seen...

‪I'm trying.

‪I work hard.

‪This life just isn't...

‪It's just been unfair to me.

‪It's so hard that

‪I'm ashamed ‪to return home to sleep at night.

‪I'll pretend that I have an overnight job,

‪then go to a bar in our area

‪and hang out till morning.

‪So my wife can think I'm busy.

‪And think her husband is working hard.

‪See that woman,

‪God blessed me with her.

‪If not for her,

‪-I would have killed myself since. ‪-God forbid! Don't say that.

‪What is the matter with you?

‪Why are you talking like you're not a man?

‪You're a man, act like it!

‪Don't let high BP kill you.

‪You'll die,

‪and another man would marry your wife.

‪Do you want your children

‪-to call another man their dad? ‪-Boss,

‪I beg you ‪in God's name, if there's any way,

‪any way at all ‪that you can help me, please.

‪I am tired of begging to survive.

‪I'm not a beggar!

‪Bro, I have ideas!

‪I have ideas.

‪Bro Efe.

‪I have been...

‪in this very position.

‪But eventually,

‪God blessed me.

‪See how good looking I am.

‪Life is good.

‪Boss,

‪I beg you in the name of God,

‪hook me up.

‪Please.

‪Please.

‪Brotherly...

‪are you sure ‪you can do the kind of work I do?

‪-Bro-- ‪-Think before you answer.

‪I work hard.

‪I work very hard.

‪Ah! Try me.

‪Please.

‪I hope they're comfortable?

‪On top of this soft bed?

‪They're relaxing.

‪Sis, you're trying.

‪To buy diapers right now is expensive.

‪Sis,

‪we didn't plan it.

‪At 47? I didn’t think it was possible.

‪That's why I tied my tubes. Ah!

‪Got my body done.

‪Can you see? Do you like it?

‪-Can't you see how snatched I am? ‪-Hm, I can see.

‪Do you know ‪what this type of body is called?

‪If my husband wants another child,

‪he'll get one from somewhere else.

‪My shop is closed.

‪Ah! Wow, sis.

‪Your room is so nice and it's huge.

‪In fact, your whole house is--

‪This room?

‪This room is big?

‪-Yes! ‪-Ah. Sis,

‪if you meet my friend Celestina,

‪if you see her house, you'll bow down.

‪Her and my husband started ‪working together, and she's grown.

‪I am coming.

‪-Mm. ‪-Ah, no.

‪I can't.

‪Keep the eye-service for your husband.

‪Ah-ah! Don't do that here.

‪But... I can't.

‪Sis, it's just one glass.

‪Ah-ah! Okay, ‪what is the worst that can happen?

‪The worst is that they get high and sleep.

‪And you can face your husband.

‪Sleep with him and enjoy it. ‪Do you know what I mean?

‪You'll...

‪Drink it! Sis, it's just one glass.

‪Take it.

‪Nothing will happen.

‪Don't worry.

‪Should I tell you something?

‪Let me tell you.

‪If you want to belong, ‪you have to behave like you belong.

‪You can't be as timid as you are.

‪You have to be sharp.

‪Do you understand me?

‪You see the way you dress,

‪I'll polish it up.

‪I'll make you look...

‪You'll look beautiful.

‪When girls see you ‪on the street, they'll start to hail you.

‪I'll show you the way.

‪-Do you understand? ‪-I understand.

‪-Do you get my drift? ‪-I do.

‪Let's cheers.

‪What are we cheering to?

‪Let's cheers to new friendship.

‪-Are you ready? ‪-I'm ready.

‪When you do the doggy style ‪make sure not to get pregnant.

‪-Do you want to get pregnant again?! ‪-No.

‪Exactly, no, eh-ehn.

‪Brotherly,

‪at my level ‪the key is to work smart, not hard.

‪When white people ‪say it, we think they're joking.

‪But look at me, ‪lanky body, big bank account.

‪Boss.

‪You can't greet?

‪-Oboz-Da-Bozz! ‪-Good afternoon.

‪-Bozz. ‪-Boss.

‪Have you spoken with your mother?

‪Are all these people working for you?

‪There's much more than this.

‪Usually I don't open on the weekends,

‪it's only those who have work to do.

‪Bro!

‪I love your office!

‪I've told you not to call me boss, ‪but bro. We'll quarrel if not.

‪Don't be upset, please. ‪Please, don't be upset.

‪Man! This is the type of place ‪I dreamt of working at. Look at this!

‪Bro,

‪look at this. Look!

‪I'm looking for a supervisor.

‪-Bro. ‪-Can you handle the position?

‪Bro, I am ready to step up, ‪if you can trust me with this place.

‪Trust is one of ‪the most important things in my business.

‪You were creating fake documents ‪back then at your cyber cafe, right?

‪Bro, I know. You did it for my guys.

‪You did it for Mbakoli,

‪you did it for Edeyi.

‪-You helped them graduate. ‪-Bro,

‪that was when I was hustling. ‪That's over. I've changed.

‪You've changed.

‪I thought you would've advanced.

‪You're sure I can trust you?

‪Bro, with your life.

‪If I think of betraying you, let--

‪Let God punish me.

‪My business has two sides.

‪Bro...

‪This coin is like my business.

‪I have an outside business ‪and an inside business.

‪In my outside business, ‪I sell spare parts, do logistics,

‪and things like that. Can you handle them?

‪-Yes. I can handle them, bro. ‪-You'll handle them?

‪-You can handle it, right? ‪-Yes.

‪I know you can handle it.

‪Are you sure I can trust you?

‪Bro, I'm here.

‪Turn around. Turn around.

‪Come.

‪Come.

‪-Hey! ‪-Greetings, boss.

‪Oboz-Da-Bozz.

‪The 10,000 dollars. I'll pay you ‪immediately my inheritance comes.

‪What is the matter with him?

‪Greetings boss.

‪Ah, boss.

‪I have tons like it in Lagos.

‪Brotherly, this is my inside business.

‪Brotherly,

‪you haven't said anything since.

‪What's up?

‪No, boss.

‪You're back to calling me boss?

‪You're sure I can still trust you?

‪Boss... listen, um,

‪But what?

‪You're rejecting my hand of friendship.

‪-You're rejecting my hand of kindness. ‪-No. It's not that.

‪I don't have the guts for it.

‪I don't want to destroy your business.

‪You don't want to destroy my business.

‪Nobody rejects my hand of friendship ‪without consequences.

‪But you...

‪you saved my life.

‪I don't owe you anything again.

‪I have to wake up ‪in the morning to look for a new job.

‪-What’s wrong with you? ‪-No! What’s wrong with you?

‪Is it the alcohol ‪that’s making you act like this?

‪Oh-ooh! You think I can’t ‪smell it on your breath?

‪-Breastfeeding mother! You have no shame? ‪-It was just a little.

‪What is it?

‪If I did, what’s the problem? ‪Did I kill anybody?

‪If I’m not a wife, I’m a mother.

‪If I’m not a mother, I'm sharing ‪your responsibilities with you.

‪I don't come ‪to you with this sort of thing,

‪but that your friend...

‪I don't trust him.

‪Let me do a proper check on him first.

‪Let me make sure he's not a tattletale.

‪Truly, she's mad about that.

‪The most important thing though,

‪-Mrs. Edewor, ‪-That's me.

‪best teaser in life!

‪-Okay, spin me. ‪-I will roll you.

‪I'm even late for work, ‪getting this food is taking forever.

‪Sir.

‪Sir!

‪What are you doing here?

‪There's no free seat in this place!

‪-Madam please, answer me. ‪-What is the meaning of this?

‪Feel how hot the sun is. ‪It's like she wants us to be here all day.

‪Do you think ‪you're the only food seller around?

‪You're still sitting down? ‪Stand up, please!

‪Please give me, let me leave.

‪-Madam, answer me. ‪-Sell me rice so I can leave.

‪Madam, please give me rice.

‪-Please give me rice and an egg. ‪-Madam.

‪Madam, sorry, can I buy biscuits?

‪Please, Madam, answer us. Give me rice.

‪Don't be upset, okay? ‪Sorry, don't be upset.

‪Sis! How are you?

‪I'm good, my sister. ‪Thank you for yesterday.

‪No thanks necessary.

‪Meanwhile, you forgot ‪your baby's bib here.

‪Ah, and I was looking for it. ‪I thought I forgot it on the bus.

‪You can send me your address, ‪I'll send my driver to drop it.

‪Wow, sis, ‪no need to stress yourself over a bip.

‪Stress? Am I driving? ‪It's the driver who's going to bring it.

‪-‪Just send the address and he'll bring it. ‪-Thank you.

‪It's nothing. Talk later.

‪-Eh? Sis? ‪-Don't be offended, okay?

‪I know it’s not ‪your husband’s fault about the job.

‪But please, can you help us beg him?

‪Sis, honestly,

‪we were really banking on ‪the former job he offered my husband.

‪Ah, but why did your husband ‪reject the job then?

‪Sir! Sir! Wake up! Ah-ah! What is it?

‪Is it because of the small biscuit ‪you bought you're killing time here?

‪Leave my shop! ‪Are you trying to colonize my space?

‪Don't try it! Don't try me! Leave! ‪You didn't buy anything, leave!

‪Idiot! Let that car kill you. Nonsense.

‪Sir, you're still ‪here. Didn't I tell you to leave?

‪-Hey, please. ‪-Please what?

‪-Bro, please. ‪-Leave this place.

‪-Please, I want to see the boss. ‪-Respect your old age, sir.

‪Respect your age. I'll hit you with this. ‪Am I opening the gate for you? Leave!

‪You clearly don't know how to listen.

‪What are you looking ‪for inside the car? Welcome sir.

‪-Sir, mind yourself. I'll hit you. ‪-Stop.

‪-Let me finish! Let me finish. ‪-What is wrong with you? You don't listen.

‪-Sorry. ‪-What are you--

‪-Joseph, wait! ‪-See this man.

‪So you have the guts ‪to come to my office to beg for your job

‪after all the insults ‪from you and your friend?

‪Okay, lock the door.

‪Lock it. Stop moving in slow motion.

‪Call the manager for what?

‪Trouble.

‪You're still here?

‪I... I don't... I don’t understand.

‪What don't you understand? ‪Are you a child?

‪Please, leave my office.

‪And if I see you in this restaurant again, ‪I'll call the police on you.

‪-And God will punish you! ‪-You-- What did you say?

‪-I said God will punish you! ‪-Please, Efe leave my office!

‪-And if I don't leave? ‪-Leave my office! Mr. Kenneth!

‪If anything happens to my daughter, you'll ‪be in serious trouble here in Lagos.

‪You that has to swallow your saliva ‪as a three-course meal is having triplets?

‪Did we collect the loan together? ‪I don't understand.

‪Please leave my office ‪before your bad luck rubs off on me.

‪If I’m not a mother, I'm sharing ‪your responsibilities with you.

‪You married my child ‪and all you've given her is poverty.

‪Go for deliverance! You know why?

‪God does not like you!

‪It's not even been up to 24 hours.

‪Weak man, greedy person.

‪Repeat what you said earlier. ‪I want to hear it from you again.

‪Ready for what?

‪Whatever is necessary.

‪I want to ask you one question.

‪Say the truth. I'll know if you're lying.

‪Why did you come back?

‪You that I wanted to help,

‪you were acting holier-than-thou.

‪Aren't you tired of suffering?

‪-Aren't you? ‪-Boss,

‪see--

‪Your suffering doesn't concern me again.

‪-Millions. ‪-You can't help yourself,

‪but you want to help the boss?

‪-Dollars for that matter. ‪-Talking carelessly.

‪Boss, with all due respect, ‪the times have changed,

‪but you've not upgraded your operations.

‪-Watch yourself. ‪-God will punish you! Are you mad?

‪Your respect is lacking.

‪-Why are you talking about my business? ‪-Boss, I respect your business.

‪Remember you told me ‪the key is to work smart, not hard.

‪I don't joke about money.

‪I hope you're not playing me?

‪Boss, everything I’m saying is true.

‪It's true?

‪Have you heard--

‪-You guys leave. ‪-Oboz! Alright, let's go.

‪Come and sit down.

‪Don't stain my chair.

‪This game is simply a game ‪of audacity, not numbers.

‪The most difficult part is here,

‪not here.

‪Efe, don't stretch my patience.

‪Arti what?

‪Okay. Boss, look at it like this.

‪You get a text message ‪from an unknown number,

‪your wife texts you ‪to transfer money to her urgently.

‪What would you do?

‪Why would she ‪text me from an unknown number?

‪-She lost her phone. ‪-Then I'll call her to confirm.

‪To know whether she's the one.

‪she then video calls you ‪from the same unknown number.

‪Would you believe?

‪Babe, what's up? Can you send me money?

‪-What happened to your phone? ‪-I lost my phone. It's urgent, please.

‪I'll hear her voice on a video call,

‪I'll see her face, ‪of course, I'll believe.

‪Why wouldn't I believe?

‪Brother Efe...

‪Brother Efe, I'm not booksmart...

‪but I'm starting to understand your point.

‪This... How is it possible?

‪-Brother Efe... ‪-I'm here.

‪Child of the soil.

‪I know you know I didn't finish school.

‪But this your... software

‪seems like something ‪that would ruin my business.

‪Bozi-Bozi,

‪that is why I said ‪I will use my knowledge instead

‪to exploit those weakness ‪my software is meant to fix

‪for your advantage.

‪Let's do it.

‪Or should they bring more food?

‪Still don't want to pick?

‪Where will you ‪tell her you've been since yesterday?

‪The way you left home ‪is not how you're going back.

‪Eat your food.

‪Drink water.

‪Raise your shoulder high.

‪You'll return home as a man.

‪When you get home, tell your wife, ‪Obozuhiomen has given you a job.

‪We'll talk about it later.

‪Uh, bro, bro,

‪Are you kidding?

‪Brother Efe,

‪you haven't made a kobo ‪and you're making demands?

‪Bro, no, I'm not making demands.

‪I just want us to talk about my... my cut.

‪Cut? What cut?

‪It's a salary, ‪and I will decide how much to pay you.

‪So, you want the both of us

‪to share the money?

‪I'll make you so much money, ‪compensation will mean nothing to you.

‪Look, I'm going to make you 30-- ‪50 times what you’re right making now.

‪So what are you saying?

‪A 50-50 percentage ‪on money I'm yet to see?

‪-You're missing some screws in your head. ‪-Okay.

‪I'll be doing the work.

‪All you have to do is relax ‪and collect your money.

‪I'll just relax and collect money right?

‪Since you said I'll relax ‪and just collect money,

‪why not run the entire ‪operation by yourself and keep 100%.

‪Right, Santa Claus?

‪You said it yourself.

‪You said Oboz is the what?

‪-Boss. ‪-Oboz is the what?

‪If I don’t prove myself in three months, ‪throw me back to the street.

‪But for me to make this happen,

‪Brother Efe,

‪I'll ask you that question ‪I asked you before.

‪Can I trust you?

‪Yes, brotherly, you can trust me.

‪Bro, would you be upset ‪if I asked for one more thing?
