Okay, I'll come into the office on Monday to get the rest of my stuff.

And my redundancy check.

Okay, thank you.

Potato, don't even be upset about that job.

Don't. Remember, you are an Adeban job. And Adeban jobs always bounce back.

But I liked working at that office.

I've been a receptionist there for ten years.

I feel so low.

Don't be low.

Your bio will lift you up.

Maybe it's time to step up and apply for something better.

You are more than just a receptionist. The world is your oyster.

And that is why from today I'm going to be looking for...

New managerial role.

Managerial role.

How about that managerial role at your office?

At my office? How can you think of a manager's job in my office? You want to

my boss?

Didn't you just tell me to step up to new roles? The world is my oyster. And

this world is your oyster.

In that world, you are more like crayfish.

You have to learn to swim in your own lane.

So you don't want me to better myself?

I do, but maybe like a PA or administrator, you know. You just can't

bronze to gold.

Managing this house doesn't mean that you can be a manager in my own office.

What are you saying? Are you saying that I'm not good enough to be a manager?

No, yes.

I mean, look.

That is not that easy.

You've seen me all these years applying for jobs in this country. And now I'm

only just a supervisor.

You have to know your own level.

My level is a manager.

It's a receptionist.

Manager! You are a receptionist. I tell you that I'm going to get that manager's

job. Just you wait and see.

Ready?

Your shirt is pink, you know. I know, I know. They had it in blue, but I decided

to buy the red one because of danger, you know. I'm a dangerous guy.

You're a bad man, you're a bad man. Oh, hey,

shorty. Oh, wow.

Come and kiss your teeth over here.

What's going on lately?

Ain't getting no luck with the ladies, man.

You guys can never, ever get chicks like me.

Your swagger game.

Your style game, even your game game.

Wait, you.

When was the last time you had a call?

Me?

Don't you know I pull all the shorties? Don't be deceived by these people on my

kick. But I'm a one -woman man.

Plus, I'm devoted to my Monika.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I heard Shari talking about her. Something about... Ah! Did

say something about me?

My Monika.

Oh, yeah, yeah. She was saying how...

Lame you are.

He's a liar.

I will win her heart. You will see.

Oh, my God. I can't believe the way he asked for your number. He is so hot.

I know.

I know.

I have died. I'm going to heaven.

Love, catch me.

Hey, hey, please.

Sharda, your cousin Femi is over there. Keep your head down.

Act like you don't see him.

Okay. Breathe.

All you need to do is just be cool.

Cool. Cool.

Monica!

Monica!

Monica, baby!

Monica!

You rang?

I didn't see you there.

I know. It's because you are blinded by our love.

Better if I was just blind.

So, how come you have not been returning any of my phone calls?

My phone isn't working.

Oh.

What are you guys doing?

Eating. Oh, can I eat with you? No, Femi.

Can I watch you eat? No, Femi. Can I feed you? No, Femi. Leave us alone. Shut

it.

It's not like that's what you want, Monica.

Oh, more than anything right now.

Okay. Well, if you need anything, I'll just be over here. Okay, bye -bye.

Did you say anything?

Cousin man.

So lame.

Oh,

my workplace.

Hello? Oh, Karen.

How are you?

Oh. The manager job?

You want me to apply?

Eh?

So who are you calling for then?

You want to speak to Mrs Adebanjo?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't think that my wife is interested in this

job. After all, I work for you. So it will not be proper that she can...

Yes, I'm still interested in the manager job. Eh?

Yes, I'm available for interview tomorrow.

Wow, is that how much you're paying?

I will see you soon.

Great.

Thank you, Jehovah. Thank you, Lord.

So you mean you are not going to tell me about this manager job?

Look, Nadia, I... After all these years of supporting you, what have you done

that you are boasting? What?

Who was the one who paid for your school fees when you first came to this

country? That was a long time ago.

Yes. Who was doing early morning cleaning jobs to provide for the family

you were studying? Okay, okay, but...

Who is the one who is sending money back to your family even when you forget?

Must you always be a messenger of the past?

Who is the one who helped you apply for this job that you are working in now?

That is enough.

Do you think it is proper that a wife must earn more money than her husband?

As a Nigerian man from the Adebanjo family, a man is supposed to look after

woman, not the woman supposed to look after the man. It's not right.

Then if you want to make a plan, go out there and get a city banker job and earn

more money. I will get it.

Bayo, this is just about your ego. Of course now.

I don't have time for you or your ego.

I have a manager job to interview, to prepare for. As the head of this house,

command you not to go for no managerial job.

Daddy, come back here.

This woman thinks she can do whatever she wants in my house.

What are you going to say when Dwayne calls?

Oh, I don't know. I'm just going to play it cool. I don't care.

Yeah, yeah. It's always best to play it cool.

My sweet ladies, I have a rose for you from the gentleman over there.

You see, guys? Give a swagger.

I told you that's how a winner has.

Wait, why is she throwing it in the bin, then?

That means it was not a big enough gesture for my Monica.

I know, I know. You need to forget about Femi and start thinking about Duane.

Oh, I know, Sade.

God, he's gorgeous.

Ladies, another sweet gesture from the gentleman over there.

Girl, you is so posh. I could be your David Beckham.

I hate to see you leave like the 345 from Peckham.

I'll buy you happy meals just to show you that I care.

And when my card declines, I know you'll have some money spared.

I say this poem now just to show that you're the one.

And when I smell your perfume, you remind me of my... What?

Of my mum.

Monica, Monica.

Monica.

So I guess I'll be picking you up around 8pm.

No, Femi.

When are you going to get it through your thick skull? I don't like you.

You love me.

What did I do wrong?

That's what we've been trying to tell you.

Look, leave the ladies to us.

What do you small boys even know about girls? Clearly more than you, fam.

I know how to get.

Monica.

Really? You know how to get her?

Can you help me?

Of course, of course. But it will cost you.

Deepers. Oh, yes.

Vipers. Oh, yes.

Thank you very much. No problem.

For coming at such short notice.

Ah, it's okay. To speak with us regarding these family issues.

I don't know why you are hosting this meeting when you know I have an

interview to prepare for.

Grady, you are the one who is always going on about the word of the Lord.

the man of God is here. Let him prophesy.

Oh, yes.

Go here.

Yes. I'm very glad to assist you today.

You see, the main cause for marital breakdown is financial stress.

So before I add my two pence, let me hear from both of you what the problem

Thank you. Pastor, the problem here... Bayo, is it not ladies' space?

Ladies' space. Let me speak to the pastor.

Pastor, the man is the head of... That is true.

It's true.

Okay. How can I be the head when the neck is any more than

me? Can the neck be on top of the head? It's biologically impossible.

Any more than you?

This is serious.

How can I refuse a job that is going to pay me very, very well?

How much is this job paying? Double my salary.

Double. Double.

This is a big problem.

What type of job is this?

It's a manager job at Bayo's company's head office.

How can she be managing when me, I am supervising?

So she will be managing me at home and then at work? Before you know it, there

will be no respect in the house.

Master, it is in a completely different branch.

And I won't even see him on most days. He's worried about nothing.

Brother Bayo, so not only will she be earning more than you, she

will have a higher rank and she'll be your boss?

You see?

Selfish. Selfish!

Brother Bayo, this job sounds very lucrative.

And England is tough.

Very, very tough.

So many expenses.

Brother Bayo, I think you need to encourage her.

So humble yourself and allow her... Humble what? What has humility got to do

with this?

So she'll be working from morning to night?

Who will be cleaning the house and cooking the food?

Gladys, is this true? So you will not be cooking?

Obviously, I won't have as much time to prepare the food like I used to. So I

will not... The church will not test.

Enjoy your pepper soup again.

No more pepper soup. Moe, moe. No moe, moe. Pizza.

Succulent goat meat. F4. Assorted. Jackie.

Everything. Not even a grain of rice.

Ah! Brother Bayo, you are right.

This job will not work at all.

Ready? You have heard the word of God direct from the pastor. From him.

So, because of your pride, and you because of your belay, you want to hold

back.

Even if I was not determined before, I'm even more determined now. And you two

just have to deal with your own issues yourself.

Nothing! Sister Gladys.

Sister Gladys.

What about my cooler? There will be no more cooler!

It's Femi again.

This is like the tenth time.

He needs to stop cooling.

Tell me. Yeah.

We've tried everything, man. There's nothing that we can persuade Monica

She doesn't like him. He needs to give up.

Man, he just doesn't know when to give up.

I hate it when guys do this.

I can't believe today's your first date with Duane.

Where's he taking you?

The cafe.

That guy is so cheap.

But he's a hottie, so we'll let him off.

What time?

Six o 'clock.

Oh, I'm so excited for you.

Shadi!

Come on, help me iron my suit.

Mum, I'm on the phone!

Come now!

What are you going to do?

I'll call you back.

I think I've found the way. Do it.

First text.

Text Dwayne and tell him the date is cancelled.

Second text.

Text Femi and tell him to be at the cafe for 7 o 'clock.

7 o 'clock.

7 o 'clock.

10.

Man, we got this. Boom.

Boom.

Mum, you're giving me Michelle Obama.

You're definitely going to get the job.

Oh, thank you, Shadi, for your support.

That's all I can ask for.

From now on, Mum, you're going to be making the big money in the house.

I'd better be off now. A manager always has to be punctual.

Bye, Mum.

Dad, what?

Why didn't you wish mum good luck?

Because he's been complaining about this job all day.

But why?

Dad, you're always telling us to aim high and achieve.

Son, there comes a time in a man's life when a man has to be a man and not be

undermined by any woman.

But what's the big deal?

Mum earning money will help the whole family.

And you're always broke and moaning, we have water bill to pay. Gas bill to pay.

Oh, my head. My brain shut off.

When the woman is not earning more than the man and is not the boss of the man,

then there is no problem.

Dad, you're the one always telling me that I need to go to university to get

top job.

What's the point if I'm just going to stay at home and cook and clean?

Why should I work so hard?

Sade, staying at home maybe, but...

You, cooking and cleaning.

You know you can't cook.

Shut up, Toby.

Dad, mum is only going for this job to support the family.

Look, there's no problem.

But the moment the woman starts to earn more than the man, she thinks she's the

boss. She will start bossing you around.

Mum's not like that.

That's what they all say. Dad, come on. Mum never bosses you around, even though

she has many opportunities to.

Are you waiting for someone?

I was.

I think I've been stood up.

Don't you worry about that, sweetheart.

Plenty more fish in the sea. But I never get any attention, Tony.

When am I going to find my Prince Charming?

Sooner than you think.

Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Make a wish.

And blow out the candlestick.

Even though I've been stood up, that was actually pretty sweet. Tony,

bring out your bestest champagne.

We don't sell alcohol here.

Give me your greatest juice.

Two YouTube Oats coming up.

Mom.

How did it go?

Yeah, Mom, tell us.

Wait, wait, wait.

Before you tell us, I too have something to say.

I know that there has been a bit of resistance to this job.

Because we have all seen you as somebody who has flourished as a receptionist.

I just want to say that I'm sorry for having doubted you.

You are an asset to this family.

And you have always supported me.

And I can only pray.

That God will deliver me from my pride so that I can appreciate you more, no

matter if you're a receptionist, manager, house girl, avocada. Thank you,

I know you're secretly happy that I didn't get the job. You didn't get the

But I've already planned how I'm going to spend the money.

I'm surprised, because when I got there, they said the position had been filled

by somebody else.

Oh, I'm sorry.

But potato, eh?

Don't worry.

You are brilliant.

Something else will come through the door.

It has, Obayo. My own job called me and offered me a supervisor position.

Supervisor? Like me?

Okay, I think I can swallow that.

Well done, Potato.

But why did they call you for an interview when they had already filled

position? I don't know.

But they said that somebody came in for an interview at the last minute who

could work double the hours for less money.

Peace be unto this house of glory.

Alastor, how are you? I'm very well. What are you doing here?

I came to thank all of you for my new job.

What's new job?

The manager job, the one you directed me to.

The money.

It's so lucrative.

You mean they gave you the job?

Yes. You mean you took my wife's job?

Yes.

After all the stress it was causing the family, it was my duty to step in and

fill the void.

I applied for the job, and they gave me the job. The Lord works in mysterious

ways. I'm only here to arrange for lunch.

First, you steal my job. Now you are asking me about nonsense for lunch. My

friend, come on.

Get out.

You're full of nonsense.

Monica, would you like some dessert?

Something sweet for somebody.

Oh, baby, stupid.

I can't, you're just so delicious.

Just a little bit of musk.

Yeah, you like it. Baby!

What is going on here? You told me you were studying.

I was studying.

Studying what exactly?

Chemistry.

You thought she loved me, Femi? Uh, Femi, who is she?

I don't know. She is who she is.

What do you mean you don't know who I am?

I have been your girlfriend for a whole two weeks.

Cooking.

Cleaning. Washing your dressing on the wish.

How dare you talk to me like this? Femi, what's going on?

She's crazy. I swear to you, she's crazy.

I will show you crazy. Just leave him alone.

Do you want my trouble as well?

Shut up. She will injure you.

Monica!

Monica, save me!
