Hey, girl.

Hey, birthday girl.

You are looking nice.

And don't I know it.

Okay, do you know what the plans are for tonight?

Of course, MTA comedy show.

Turn up.

No, Sade.

We are going to live it up at the WizKid concert.

Finish it for me. Go on, go on, go on, go on.

Pee!

Oh my gosh!

Sitting in the corner.

Dumb doll.

Dumb doll.

Dumb doll. Dumb doll.

I cannot think of a better way to spend my birthday.

Ah, Sade, you know the trouble I went through to get those tickets.

They've been sold out for...

Thank you. Go Lizzie.

Exclusive. Okay, this is what we're going to do.

We'll go home, get changed, look hotter, and then I'm going to come to yours

because we know how my parents can be.

Yeah, that's true.

Epic, epic, epic.

This is going to be an epic night.

I don't want anything to mess it up.

Because it's my birthday.

What?

Yes, Libby.

When we get to that concert tonight, mummies are going to be on point.

They're going to be looking for Sade.

Yes!

Happy birthday, Sade!

Oh,

look at this. A birthday surprise for my baby.

You see, Sade, now you're an adult and your mother and I have arranged a

birthday treat for you.

And we even have birthday hats.

Hey!

Oh, for you, sis.

Dad actually paid a pound for that.

You see, honey? Your mother and I know how to have a good time. Now, we have

fried rice, we have chicken, and the fix. Let's get this special day started.

Day? Yes. As in the whole day? That's right. And tonight as well? Of course,

birthday girl. Your mother and I have a whole day of activities planned.

I've even made your special fried rice. It's just in the kitchen.

You see, I mean, this is nice and everything, but I've already made plans.

going to a concert with my friends.

Concert?

Why would you go to a concert when you can boogie here with your family for

free? Toby, put the music on and let's play Pass the Parcels. Hey, pass the

parcels.

But Dad, it's my birthday.

And I've already made plans.

We do this every year. I'm 19 now.

Yes, we do it every year and we have so much fun. Forget your friends for one

night. Forget my friends? Yes.

Dad, are you serious?

I mean, this is a big deal. This is a major deal. I'm not cancelling for this.

Who is performing at this concert anyway?

Wizkid. Who? Which kind of man calls himself wizard?

Dad. He's a Nigerian megastar. Get with the times. Well, in my times, artists

called themselves by their actual names, like Fela and Nekolako.

Well, I'll prefer my kid to your Fela. Well, tell your Wiz you can see him

another time.

No! I told Lizzie that we were going to the concert.

Oh, Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie, Wizzie. Oh, Lizzie. She's practically family. You

can invite her here. She's welcome to the party now. Yes.

Anyway, that's settled.

Let's have fun. Let's dig in.

Happy birthday.

Cake. Fried rice.

Chocolate.

Matt, okay?

Yeah, good night.

Now, Funky.

This is very important. I've finally had the new alarm system fitted for the

cafe, and I need to teach you how it works.

Now, are you paying attention?

Now, this is the keypad. Now, you have a special code which you have to punch in

electronically when you leave.

Now, you need that when you leave and when you enter.

Do you understand?

Yes, I do.

Good. Now, I'm going to lock up... Right? And I'm only going to show you

do this once with the code. It's very important you remember the code.

OK? Yes, yes, I do.

OK, now, I'm going to land and lock everything up so the system is set.

Now, you will need the code to get out. Do you understand?

Stop patronising me. I've got it.

Fine.

Catch you later.

Any more sugar for my sugar?

Okay, I think four is enough. Thank you. Are you sure?

For someone as sweet as you, I'll do anything for my bubble.

What else do you want?

A donut, please.

I'll do anything, anything for you.

How was your doughnut?

I haven't even started yet.

Are you ready for the cherry on top?

Funke, cake has cherry, not doughnut.

This is an African cherry.

Charlie, you are looking a hot birthday girl.

Oh, you're looking fancy, huh? I know.

Hey. Hey. Do you know what I'm doing here?

Well, my parents want to do a little birthday something before we go out.

But don't worry, there's no way I'm missing this kid.

Charlie, can you taste that smell in the air?

Is that your mum's fried rice? Can I collect some?

Strong, okay?

Eyes on the prize.

You only have to stay here for like ten minutes, and then we're going.

Lizzy, Lizzy.

Lizzy, Lizzy.

You are welcome.

Toby, get Lizzy a birthday hat.

There you are.

Okay, guys, I'm out. Try to enjoy your birthday. Have fun. I'm out.

Nothing. Where are you going?

Don't forget, you're the DJ. Hit the decks.

Broth.

Dad?

Improvise, improvise.

Am I at some, like, five -year -old party?

Or... Shut up.

Look, we only have to stay here for, like, ten more minutes, OK? Keep them

and then we can go.

Dad,

what are you doing?

Como? Lizzie, are you seriously considering going out just like this?

Everyone dresses like this? Everyone? Which everyone?

Where is everybody?

My friend, you need to be respectable.

No decent, educated, sensible girl will go out looking like this. You look like

an alley cat. Meow.

Well, thanks for the warm welcome.

Dad, leave Lizzie alone. You invited her, remember?

OK, OK, OK. Well, let's get the party started.

Can I collect that food now?

Just ten minutes and we're going, OK?

Hey, DJ.

DJ! Bro!

DJ!

And this is Shadi when she was five years old.

I'd had to hold her hand when we went into the shop because she was so crying.

Why are you doing this?

Mom, this is so embarrassing.

Lizzie doesn't want to see these dry old pictures.

What do you mean, Shadi? You look so cute.

You see, Shadi?

Look how things have changed.

Why are you still here?

Get that. Why am I still here?

You are the DJ?

Well, then let me go get some more records.

And this was Shadi's first day of school. Look at her uniform, look.

Ah, the good old days at school, eh?

When people used to dress in normal clothes.

I wish the ground would just follow me now.

God, eh? What, it's supposed to be ten minutes?

I'm hungry.

Mum.

Dad, we really have to go.

Yeah, Mr. and Mrs.

Andrew, it was great, you know, but the concert's about to start. Wait, wait,

wait. We haven't taken any photos for the album.

Wait, let me just get my camera.

That's right, yes.

Photography time.

Come on, kids. Come on, come on, come on.

I found it.

Come on, sit down, girl.

Smile.

Sleep down on the doughnut.

Look, you know I do not like big belenben.

No more doughnut.

That's it.

I'm off.

Frank, what are you doing tonight?

Have you got any plans?

Why are you so nosy?

As a matter of fact, I do.

What are they?

Private.

Maybe you and I could have some private time together. You know, alone.

How about a date?

I can't believe I'm telling you this.

I've got a date.

Tonight.

And I don't want to be late.

Frank! Frank!

Don't leave me down.

What's the matter with the door? It won't open.

I don't know what is wrong with it.

Did Tony say anything about the lock? I don't know. I don't remember.

It seems like we're locked in together.

Locked in?

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, Frank.

This is fate.

God does not want you to go on that date.

He wants you to be here with me.

I doubt God's that cruel.

Are you?

Frankie, Frankie.

Yep.

It's locked.

You don't seem too bothered.

If I didn't know better, I would say you planned it. Oh, Frankie, you think too

much. Look at it this way.

As one door closes...

Another one opens to love.

Apparently seem more appropriate.

I'm going to miss my date now.

Poor baby.

And I'm claustrophobic.

Hey, Frank.

Look, there is plenty of space here.

Not enough space away from you. I must tell that beautiful woman that I'm going

to be late. I hope she believes me.

I believe you.

My battery is dead.

Nightmare.

Absolute nightmare.

Frank, there is no one here.

You can have your wicked ways with me.

I'm going to get a restraining order on you as soon as I get out of here. Now

get out of my way so I can kick this door down.

Break a leg.

One more for love. Moshi.

Moshi.

Gladys, did you get my good side? If not, take another one.

Dad, we have to go.

Hold on, Shadi, now.

Okay, let's go now.

Mum, we're off.

No, no, no.

Wait, wait, wait, Gladys.

We need to take pictures with my own phone. I want to show my colleagues how

my daughter is. Daddy, you know, I don't know how to transfer pictures from that

camera in your hand. Don't worry, I'll show you. Okay, my love.

Peace be unto this house of glory.

And to this beautiful birthday girl, Shadi.

Shadi, I'm so happy to see you.

Good to see you too, Papa.

I'm going out with my friend.

No. Am I late?

Is the party over?

Is there no food?

No gizzard?

No assorted meat? No?

Pastor, don't worry. There's still a lot of food. You're very welcome. Thank you

so much for coming. Thank you very much.

I knew I could trust you.

Sade, make sure you don't leave before you receive my wonderful birthday

blessing.

Pastor, can't I get my birthday blessing tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow? Will your birthday be tomorrow again?

No. You see, the enemy is always looking for ways to prevent God's people from

moving forward.

I hope this doesn't take another hour.

Another hour?

When God is moving so mysteriously, just give him ten minutes.

So is true what they say about Nigerian people and time?

Shadi, kneel down.

Do you want to be

do you want to be blessed do you want to be blessed do you want to be blessed

before before i enter into his presence i need some food

to enter into my belly in order to energize the spirit i

need to energize the spirit after the prayer

prosperity. Amen.

I declare wisdom.

Amen.

Can I say amen?

Say amen.

Amen. May God enlarge your coast. Amen.

What does that mean? Just say amen. In the mighty name of Jesus, I have prayed

amen. Amen.

Amen. Amen.

Sister Gladys, any update on my cooler?

It's in the kitchen.

Sade, get up.

Excuse me.

The Lord is good, I will lift him up.

Every other God, I will lift him up.

We're in here. Okay, you know what, Sade? This is our chance.

Yeah. If we leave now, we can catch the last few minutes of whiskey.

Let's go.

Okay.

Hold on, hold on.

Is that the others? Yeah. Tell them we're on our way. We're coming now. All

right.

Shadi, we're not going anywhere.

The concert's been cancelled.

What?

Apparently there was a problem with the venue.

Everyone got sent home.

This is the worst birthday ever.

Ah, Shadi, if it's entertainment you want, it is entertainment you will get.

Toby, Mr DJ, hit the music. Hit it.

Slap the music.

That's right.

Can't beat him, join him right?

Where am I?

What happened?

Oh, Frank.

Frank, you disappointed me.

What? Yes.

What are you talking about?

I saved your life.

We are now a couple.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, get me out of here.

Funke, Funke, let me in. Shut up, shut up. Tap in the coat.

Stop interrupting my mouth. The cafe's not a B &B.

Open the door now!

Okay. Look here. You locked my love inside.

Now let me and my love be together. If you don't open this door right now,

will be trouble.

Tony! Tony!

Sack her! And get me out of here!

You didn't record all along.

I missed my date because of you.

Don't call me, we're about to start.

Okay.

Hey, let's go.

Chadwick,

I

have something to tell you. This is the best birthday I have ever had.

But it's not your birthday. It's my birthday.

And you've made it all about you. All I wanted to do was to go to the Wizkid

concert. Sade, the concert was cancelled.

Cancelled.

Look, my dear.

Things happen for a reason.

I mean, you are 19 now.

In three years' time, you will go to uni, you will graduate, and then you

move out. We need to have all the quality time that we can spend together.

Sade, how come it's damp now?

It's your day.

Today's your day.

Let's party together.

You're getting older now. Time is moving so fast.

It seems like yesterday you were just in my arms.

Let's have a little party together.

I'm just going to spend some time with you.

I always have time for you guys.

I just want this day to be about me.

Shadi, Shadi, look around you. Look, this is all about you.

You're right.

As long as I've got family, I'm having a good time.

Do you mean that, Shadi?

I do. I mean, family's the most important thing, right?

And I do really appreciate what you and Mum do for Toby and I.

Oh, that's my baby.

Come on, old man. Show me your moves. Let's party!

Me old man your father That's for me.
