Lagos, the capital of Nigeria,

00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:37,835
prepares to welcome

3
00:00:38,001 --> 00:00:42,043
Or, in your own language,
to Oba Oberin, the Queen.
4
00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:44,668
One million Nigerians
They are here to receive it.
5
00:00:44,835 --> 00:00:47,251
Only 17 hours from the mists
from London airport,
6
00:00:47,418 --> 00:00:50,126
The Queen of Argonaut
stops under the Ikeja sun,
7
00:00:50,293 --> 00:00:52,085
Lagos airport.
8
00:00:52,251 --> 00:00:54,710
The Honor Guard is mounted
by the Nigerian Regiment,
9
00:00:54,876 --> 00:00:56,801
many of whom,
just like the husband
10
00:00:56,802 --> 00:00:59,001
of the queen, they wear the
Burma star.
11
00:01:02,543 --> 00:01:05,143
The Governor General, Lord James
Robertson and Mrs. Robertson

13
00:01:12,501 --> 00:01:15,460
At a temperature around

14
00:01:15,626 --> 00:01:18,793
while the real car does
his 13-mile journey to the capital
15
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:21,085
at a fixed speed
eight miles per hour.
16
00:01:21,251 --> 00:01:24,543
Every inch of the way
It's full of Nigerians.
17
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:27,960
The reception is as enormous as
One has never been given to His Majesty
18
00:01:28,126 --> 00:01:29,668
and it is a proud reception.
19
00:01:29,835 --> 00:01:32,376
It is because it is no longer a
people in colonial subjection,
20
00:01:32,543 --> 00:01:36,918
but a free nation firm in
the path to autonomy.
21
00:01:39,835 --> 00:01:43,210
�Where did the
naughty little flea?
22
00:01:43,376 --> 00:01:46,585

No one knows, no one knows.
29
00:02:07,168 --> 00:02:10,376
There was a small
naughty flea...
30
00:02:10,543 --> 00:02:13,585
He climbed the dog's knee.
31
00:02:13,751 --> 00:02:17,335
He went up here, he went up there.
32
00:02:17,501 --> 00:02:19,876
He was climbing everywhere.

00:02:25,211 --> 00:02:26,981

�Where did the
naughty little flea?

00:02:31,202 --> 00:02:32,982
No one knows, no one knows.
37
00:02:33,203 --> 00:02:36,983
Well, I went up
here, went up there.
38
00:02:37,204 --> 00:02:39,684
He was climbing everywhere.
39
00:02:40,205 --> 00:02:46,885
And now at last, I found the nest where
He has his lunch break.
40
00:02:47,186 --> 00:02:50,686
Well, the little dog went to
see a show.
41
00:02:54,208 --> 00:02:56,988
The mischievous flea said:
"What a banquet!"
42
00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:00,389
It really is a
delicious beast.
43
00:03:00,390 --> 00:03:03,980
Tell me, where did the girl go?
naughty little flea?
44
00:03:05,201 --> 00:03:07,291
No one knows, no one knows.

in exchange for dad's contract?
55
00:04:05,835 --> 00:04:07,043
What do you think?
56
00:04:07,210 --> 00:04:09,011
You two hurry up.
Your Excellency is here.
57
00:04:09,126 --> 00:04:13,460

We need brains

61
00:04:29,543 --> 00:04:31,568
How many people

I have decided to go to Nsukka.
I'll be leaving next week.
64
00:04:37,168 --> 00:04:40,376
Is that true? Have you
decided to move to Nsukka?
65
00:04:40,543 --> 00:04:42,510
I applied for a job
as a teacher in

Department of
Sociology and I got it.
67
00:04:49,001 --> 00:04:51,251
So are you going to leave Lagos?
68
00:04:55,543 --> 00:04:58,960
Why don't everyone come?
to my house this weekend?
69
00:04:59,126 --> 00:05:00,618
Even if it's just

fish and pepper
of my cook.
71
00:05:02,085 --> 00:05:06,335
He is from Nembe, he knows what
make with fresh fish.
72
00:05:06,501 --> 00:05:08,835
That sounds spectacular,
Honorable Minister.
73
00:05:09,001 --> 00:05:10,501
I would love to, but no

74
00:05:10,668 --> 00:05:12,085
Won't you be here?
75
00:05:12,251 --> 00:05:16,085
I made plans to go to Kano to
see uncle Mbaezi and the family.
76
00:05:16,251 --> 00:05:17,918
I see.
77
00:05:18,085 --> 00:05:20,251
What about you, Kainene?
78
00:05:20,418 --> 00:05:22,126
And what about me, by the way?

She will supervise
all in the east.
85
00:05:41,876 --> 00:05:46,335
Who said he lost by having
twin daughters is a liar.
86
00:05:46,501 --> 00:05:47,835
Thank you, Minister.
87
00:05:48,001 --> 00:05:49,751

- Ready for what, Kainene?
91
00:06:01,001 --> 00:06:02,710
It's the Day of
Independence, mom.

00:06:02,876 --> 00:06:05,293
There are 1001 evenings

93
00:06:05,460 --> 00:06:07,043
Good evening, Chief.
94
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,918
You do realize, don't you?, that you have
cost dad the contract.
95
00:06:18,085 --> 00:06:20,418
It's not like it's not
will get nothing.
96
00:06:20,585 --> 00:06:22,960
Dad will still give him the
10% after all.
97
00:06:23,126 --> 00:06:26,251
Well, 10% is normal,
so the extra always helps.
98
00:06:26,418 --> 00:06:30,293
The other bidders probably
They don't have a beautiful daughter.
99
00:06:35,710 --> 00:06:38,960
That horrible little woman, Richard
and right in my face too.
100
00:06:39,126 --> 00:06:43,418
-Susan, I wasn't...
- I know you didn't want to flirt.
101
00:06:43,585 --> 00:06:47,043
- But you must understand...
- Susan, I wasn't flirting.
102
00:06:47,210 --> 00:06:49,710
- Champagne, ma'am?
- The gossip here is vicious.
103
00:06:49,876 --> 00:06:52,126
How are you, Olanna?
104
00:06:53,001 --> 00:06:54,710
Happy Independence Day.
105
00:06:56,626 --> 00:06:58,418
The Hausa in the north
They are very worthy.
106
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:01,418
The Yoruba are rather happy,
in addition to first-class bootlickers.
107
00:07:01,585 --> 00:07:04,085
- And the Igbo are...
- Rude and lovers of money.
108
00:07:04,251 --> 00:07:05,418
Hi, Graham.
109
00:07:05,585 --> 00:07:08,251

00:07:11,501 --> 00:07:13,376
and an Oxford graduate
ready to start.
112
00:07:13,543 --> 00:07:16,001
Kainene, this is Susan Grenville
Pitts, of the British Council.
113
00:07:16,168 --> 00:07:17,918
-How is he?
- And this is...
114
00:07:18,085 --> 00:07:20,793
- I'm sorry, I can't quite hold it.
-Richard. Richard Churchill.
115
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,001
I want to talk to you.
116
00:07:24,793 --> 00:07:26,585
Hello.
117
00:07:26,751 --> 00:07:28,835
I'm afraid I don't have
relationship with Mr. Winston.
118
00:07:29,001 --> 00:07:31,710
It could have been a
little more intelligent.
119
00:07:31,876 --> 00:07:33,835
How funny.
120
00:07:37,168 --> 00:07:39,376
Great music, don't you think?
121
00:07:45,210 --> 00:07:48,293
It turns out that Kainene and I have
a mutual friend in London.
122
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,085
Adorable. I'll let them wear
a day then. I'll be back after a while.
123
00:07:55,251 --> 00:07:57,501
You just lied to your wife.
124
00:07:57,668 --> 00:07:59,876
She's not my wife.
125
00:08:00,043 --> 00:08:02,376
- Get out of the way, please.
- What?
126
00:08:02,543 --> 00:08:05,543
There is a photographer behind you
who is taking a photo of me.
127
00:08:05,710 --> 00:08:07,585
Especially my necklace.
128
00:08:07,751 --> 00:08:09,335
Thank you, ma'am.
129
00:08:09,501 --> 00:08:12,335
The necklace will be presented
tomorrow in "The life of Lagos.
130
00:08:12,501 --> 00:08:14,410
That will be my way
to contribute to
131
00:08:14,411 --> 00:08:16,211
our country
recently independent.
132
00:08:16,376 --> 00:08:19,210
I'm giving it to my teammates
Nigerians something to aspire to.
133
00:08:19,376 --> 00:08:21,335
An incentive to work hard.
134
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:24,751
- It's a beautiful necklace.
-Of course not!
135
00:08:24,918 --> 00:08:27,460
My father has a taste
lousy at jewelry.
136
00:08:27,626 --> 00:08:29,585
But it's your money.
137
00:08:31,126 --> 00:08:34,376
I see that my sister
is searching. I should go.
138
00:08:34,543 --> 00:08:36,960
Don't go... please.
139
00:08:40,501 --> 00:08:43,710
May I introduce you?
Everyone wants to meet her.
140
00:08:45,210 --> 00:08:48,251
I prefer to talk to you.
If you don't mind.
141
00:08:50,835 --> 00:08:54,126
- Here comes the wife you deny.
- Dear?
142
00:08:54,293 --> 00:08:57,543
- Nice to meet you.
- A pleasure too.
143
00:09:05,043 --> 00:09:07,085
Don't tell me that
you are interested in him.
144
00:09:07,251 --> 00:09:09,710
- If I were, what?
- And Okafor?
145
00:09:09,876 --> 00:09:12,276
You know that's over
a lot. Now we are good friends.
146
00:09:12,376 --> 00:09:15,585
- And Lain the one with the dimples?
- No, it's over with Lain.
147
00:09:15,751 --> 00:09:17,710
-Robert?
- Robert is history.
148
00:09:17,876 --> 00:09:21,251
No, it's here.
Hello, Robert!
149
00:09:21,418 --> 00:09:24,543
Damn it!
You're not funny.
150
00:09:27,668 --> 00:09:30,835
I just don't understand what
You see in these English guys.
151
00:09:31,001 --> 00:09:33,376
But be careful.
This one is married.
152
00:09:33,543 --> 00:09:36,960
No. That's just a woman
who doesn't know when to retire.
153
00:09:37,126 --> 00:09:39,085
Did I talk that much?
154
00:09:55,835 --> 00:09:57,251
Operator?
155
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,335
For you, madam. The
Mr. Churchill on the line.
156
00:10:02,501 --> 00:10:03,751

158
00:10:09,626 --> 00:10:12,210
It's me, Richard.

- We met last night at...

The man who denied his
wife. Hello, Richard.

�You have come to Nigeria
running away from something?
162

No.
163
00:11:06,418 --> 00:11:08,585
I have always wanted to see Africa.
164
00:11:09,751 --> 00:11:12,626
So I left

165
00:11:13,793 --> 00:11:16,168
And with a generous
loan from my aunt...

00:11:40,461 --> 00:11:42,460
lover and his band of drinkers.
173
00:11:43,668 --> 00:11:46,668
And you can come visit me
in Port Harcourt.
174
00:12:04,001 --> 00:12:08,043
I can't believe you are
you. You have come to help.
175
00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:14,001
Good. Come on
with Aunt Ifeka.
176
00:12:21,626 --> 00:12:24,001
You've been on my mind!
177
00:12:24,168 --> 00:12:27,460
I knew you would come
and you would see us soon.
178
00:12:27,626 --> 00:12:29,668
Dude, good afternoon.
179
00:12:29,835 --> 00:12:32,626
And how Lagos is?
treating my sister?
180
00:12:32,793 --> 00:12:36,585
- Lagos is treating mom well.
- And your sister and your father?
181
00:12:36,751 --> 00:12:39,335
-How is your father?
- Dad is fine.
182
00:12:39,501 --> 00:12:41,460
Kainene is fine.
183
00:12:41,626 --> 00:12:43,835
Look who's here!
184
00:12:44,001 --> 00:12:47,835
- Olanna!
- Aunt!
185
00:12:52,043 --> 00:12:54,585
-How is your mother?
- It's okay.
186
00:12:56,168 --> 00:12:59,293
Let someone else do it for you.
187
00:13:00,585 --> 00:13:03,626
Let someone else do it for you.
188
00:13:05,918 --> 00:13:07,376
Cousin!
189
00:13:08,085 --> 00:13:10,460
You should have warned us
that you were coming.
190
00:13:10,626 --> 00:13:13,293
At least we would have
I swept the yard better.
191
00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:16,418
- Cousin, you look good.
- Thank you.
192
00:13:16,585 --> 00:13:18,376
There are stories to tell you.
193
00:13:18,543 --> 00:13:21,710
So, you will go to Nsukka to
marry Odenigbo, sister?
194
00:13:21,876 --> 00:13:24,793
I don't know about marriage yet,
but I want to be closer to him.
195
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,376
And I want to teach.
196
00:13:26,543 --> 00:13:29,668
�The way you describe it,
You better not wait!
197
00:13:33,668 --> 00:13:36,543
A special woman
arrives this weekend.
198
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:38,126
Very special.
199
00:13:39,418 --> 00:13:41,501
Make sure that
the house is clean.
200
00:13:41,502 --> 00:13:43,501
I will order the food
of the club staff.
201
00:13:43,668 --> 00:13:45,376
But sir, I can cook.
202
00:13:45,543 --> 00:13:49,251
He likes his rice a certain way
way. Fried rice, I think.
203
00:13:49,418 --> 00:13:51,378
I'm not sure what
you can do something appropriate.
204
00:13:51,418 --> 00:13:53,501
I can do that, sir.
Let me make the rice.
205
00:13:53,668 --> 00:13:56,210
and you bring
the club chicken.
206
00:13:56,751 --> 00:13:58,626
Ingenious negotiation.
207
00:13:59,501 --> 00:14:01,293
Okay, make the rice.
208
00:14:01,460 --> 00:14:04,126
- Did you go to school?
- See you second, sir.
209
00:14:04,293 --> 00:14:08,585
- But I learned everything quickly.
- Second grade? How long ago?
210
00:14:08,751 --> 00:14:11,585
Many years ago, sir.
But I learned everything very quickly.
211
00:14:11,751 --> 00:14:14,918
- Why did you leave school?
- My father's harvest failed, sir.
212
00:14:15,085 --> 00:14:17,168
Why didn't your father look for
anyone for school fees?
213
00:14:17,335 --> 00:14:19,293
Sir?
214
00:14:20,168 --> 00:14:23,085
I'm going to enroll you
in primary school.
215
00:14:23,251 --> 00:14:25,126
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
216
00:14:25,293 --> 00:14:28,085
I guess at your age, you will be
the oldest third year student.
217
00:14:28,251 --> 00:14:30,243
But the only way to win
His respect is being the best.
218
00:14:30,244 --> 00:14:31,043
Do you understand me?
219
00:14:31,210 --> 00:14:32,751
Yes, sir.
220
00:14:32,918 --> 00:14:34,710
-Repeat your name to me?
- Ugwu, sir.
221
00:14:34,876 --> 00:14:36,418
Ugwu...
222
00:14:36,585 --> 00:14:40,376
Yes. Call me Odenigbo.
223
00:14:40,543 --> 00:14:42,501
Sir?
224
00:14:42,668 --> 00:14:46,293
My name is not "Sir."
Call me Odenigbo.
225
00:15:17,293 --> 00:15:19,293
It's quite tasteless.
226
00:15:20,376 --> 00:15:23,501
Which is better than having
Bad taste, of course.
227
00:15:25,835 --> 00:15:28,418
I will teach you how to cook
rice properly, Ugwu.
228
00:15:28,585 --> 00:15:31,085
Without using so much oil.
229
00:15:37,168 --> 00:15:40,335
- Ugwu told me I could cook it.
- He doesn't know.
230
00:15:43,876 --> 00:15:45,918
My God.
231
00:15:46,085 --> 00:15:47,918
Quick, take coke.
232
00:16:15,585 --> 00:16:18,501
You should eat first.
Ugwu is making a stew.
233
00:16:19,710 --> 00:16:21,668
I know what I want to eat.
234
00:16:28,543 --> 00:16:30,501
So what happened here?
235
00:16:30,668 --> 00:16:32,876
Your oldest books are
in the second bedroom.
236
00:16:33,043 --> 00:16:35,085
I needed the space
for my books.
237
00:16:35,251 --> 00:16:38,793
- Why not in your apartment?
- Because I want them here.
238
00:16:40,293 --> 00:16:43,085
You have really
changed, isn't it?
239
00:16:49,293 --> 00:16:51,626
We have visitors, sir.
240
00:16:51,793 --> 00:16:53,960
- Can't you go?
-Odenigbo!
241
00:16:54,126 --> 00:16:57,751
- I can't wait for them to meet you.
- Is he here? Get out now!
242
00:16:57,918 --> 00:17:00,251
Stay a little longer.
243
00:17:00,418 --> 00:17:04,376
Ugwu, go find your master.
Tell him to come now.
244
00:17:11,626 --> 00:17:14,376
My friends. This
finally it's Olanna.
245
00:17:14,543 --> 00:17:15,585
How are you?
246
00:17:15,751 --> 00:17:18,001
You must be Lara Adebayo.
From the Faculty of Medicine?
247
00:17:18,168 --> 00:17:21,001
Yes. He didn't tell us who you were
illogically beautiful.
248
00:17:21,168 --> 00:17:24,251
- I'll take that as a compliment.
- And what a correct English accent.
249
00:17:24,418 --> 00:17:27,126
I'm Okeoma. I thought the bride
of Odenigbo was a human being.
250
00:17:27,293 --> 00:17:29,668
- He didn't tell us you were a mermaid.
- Thank you.
251
00:17:29,835 --> 00:17:33,418
- Victor Patel. Delighted to finally see it.
- Olanna.
252
00:17:33,585 --> 00:17:36,335
-And what is your discipline?
- Sociology.
253
00:17:36,501 --> 00:17:37,785
Voodoo Science!
you should have
254
00:17:37,786 --> 00:17:39,086
studied one of the
appropriate sciences.
255
00:17:39,251 --> 00:17:40,685
Did the great thinker Hegel not
256
00:17:40,686 --> 00:17:42,247
called Africa the
land of childhood?
257
00:17:42,251 --> 00:17:44,543
no one can take seriously
to Hegel. Did you read it correctly?
258
00:17:44,710 --> 00:17:47,460
It's funny, very funny.
259
00:17:56,460 --> 00:17:58,668
You are Ugwu.
How are you?
260
00:17:58,835 --> 00:18:01,335
I'm fine, mother.
Did your trip go well?
261
00:18:01,501 --> 00:18:03,626
Yes, God guided us.
262
00:18:04,626 --> 00:18:07,168
-How are you?
- I'm fine, mom.
263
00:18:07,335 --> 00:18:10,001
My son told me
good that you are doing it.
264
00:18:11,751 --> 00:18:15,335
-When will my son return?
- They will return at night.
265
00:18:15,501 --> 00:18:17,543
They said I should rest,
mom. When he came.
266
00:18:17,710 --> 00:18:19,710
I'm cooking rice and chicken.
267
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:23,835
Rest?
268
00:18:29,835 --> 00:18:34,543
I have brought the ingredients to make
an appropriate soup for my son.
269
00:18:34,710 --> 00:18:38,126
I know you try,
but you're just a boy.
270
00:18:39,418 --> 00:18:42,126
What does a boy know about
real cuisine?
271
00:18:42,293 --> 00:18:46,418
Isn't that right, Amala? �A boy
Does it belong in the kitchen?
272
00:18:46,585 --> 00:18:48,168
Mom, no.
273
00:18:49,210 --> 00:18:52,918
See, Ugwu? Not a boy
It must be in the kitchen.
274
00:18:53,085 --> 00:18:54,710
Yes, mom.
275
00:18:58,876 --> 00:19:04,543
My son spends money on
these expensive things.
276
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:07,293
- Don't you see, Amala?
- Yes, mom.
277
00:19:07,460 --> 00:19:11,918
Those are my lady's, mom.
She brought many things from Lagos.
278
00:19:15,001 --> 00:19:19,460
- Amala, come and make the taro.
- Yes, mom.
279
00:19:22,918 --> 00:19:25,543
"Mom", welcome! No!
280
00:19:28,543 --> 00:19:31,793
I'm Olanna.
Did it go well?
281
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,085
- Our journey was good.
- Good afternoon.
282
00:19:35,251 --> 00:19:37,876
�She is related to
Odenigbo from home, mom?
283
00:19:38,043 --> 00:19:40,376
Amala helps me around the house.
284
00:19:40,543 --> 00:19:43,585
Come, mom, let's sit down.
285
00:19:43,751 --> 00:19:46,918
You shouldn't bother in the kitchen.
You must rest. Let Ugwu do it.
286
00:19:47,085 --> 00:19:50,835
I want to cook one
suitable soup for my son.
287
00:19:51,918 --> 00:19:53,710
Of course, mom.
288
00:19:55,210 --> 00:19:58,126
At least let me help you, mom.
289
00:19:59,376 --> 00:20:00,960
I'll go change.
290
00:20:01,126 --> 00:20:04,085
I heard you didn't breastfeed
from your mother's breasts.
291
00:20:06,543 --> 00:20:07,710
What?
292
00:20:07,876 --> 00:20:11,710
They say you didn't suck
from your mother's breasts.
293
00:20:13,168 --> 00:20:16,335
Please go and tell them
to those who sent you
294
00:20:16,501 --> 00:20:18,501
that you didn't see my son.
295
00:20:18,668 --> 00:20:22,876
�Tell the witches what you have
friends you haven't seen it! Do you hear me?
296
00:20:23,043 --> 00:20:26,210
Tell them that no medicine
can work on my son!
297
00:20:26,376 --> 00:20:29,168
He's not going to get married
with an abnormal woman,
298
00:20:29,335 --> 00:20:31,251
unless you kill me first.
299
00:20:31,418 --> 00:20:33,335
Only above my corpse!
300
00:20:33,501 --> 00:20:35,001
Mom...
301
00:20:35,168 --> 00:20:38,251
Don't call me mom. Ya
I said it, don't tell me mom.
302
00:20:39,418 --> 00:20:41,376
Leave my son alone.
303
00:20:41,543 --> 00:20:45,418
�Tell the witches what you have
friends you haven't seen it!
304
00:20:48,585 --> 00:20:51,501
- Neighbors!
- Mom, stay inside.
305
00:20:51,668 --> 00:20:55,585
�Neighbors! �There is a
witch in my son's house!
306
00:20:56,918 --> 00:20:58,585
�Neighbors!
307
00:21:00,835 --> 00:21:03,793
Tell your master that I
I went to my apartment.
308
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,751
�Neighbors!
309
00:21:25,418 --> 00:21:27,293
I am very sorry that
has acted like that.
310
00:21:27,460 --> 00:21:30,918
- I had to go.
- No, you didn't have to do it, Nkem.
311
00:21:31,085 --> 00:21:33,710
you should have
ignored, really.
312
00:21:38,335 --> 00:21:42,001
I have decided to talk to Okeoma
about the Labor Strike.
313
00:21:42,168 --> 00:21:45,460
- We have to show support.
- Your mother made a scene.
314
00:21:46,751 --> 00:21:48,543
Are you upset, Nkem?
315
00:21:50,210 --> 00:21:53,126
I didn't think you would take
this so seriously.
316
00:21:53,293 --> 00:21:56,335
You can see that my mother
He doesn't know what he's doing.
317
00:21:56,501 --> 00:21:59,626
She is just one
village woman
318
00:22:01,126 --> 00:22:03,918
You never talk about your mother.
319
00:22:04,085 --> 00:22:06,585
You have never asked me to
go to Abba to visit her.
320
00:22:06,751 --> 00:22:09,251
Stop that, Nkem, no
I go to see her so often,
321
00:22:09,418 --> 00:22:12,835
and yes I asked you last
time you went to Lagos.
322
00:22:14,460 --> 00:22:16,626
- What did your cook do?
- Rice.
323
00:22:18,168 --> 00:22:21,126
- Are you going to play tennis?
- I thought you would come.
324
00:22:21,293 --> 00:22:22,960
I don't feel like it.
325
00:22:24,751 --> 00:22:26,626
Why the behavior of
your mother is acceptable
326
00:22:26,793 --> 00:22:28,293
because she is a village woman?
327
00:22:28,460 --> 00:22:30,876
�I know village women
They don't behave like that!
328
00:22:31,043 --> 00:22:34,376
My whole life
mother has been in Abba.
329
00:22:34,543 --> 00:22:37,793
You know how small
piece of land is that?
330
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,510
Of course it feels
threatened by
331
00:22:39,511 --> 00:22:41,211
an educated woman
living with his son.
332
00:22:41,376 --> 00:22:42,810
�Of course you have
than to be a witch!
333
00:22:42,811 --> 00:22:44,211
It's the only way
who can understand it.
334
00:22:44,376 --> 00:22:46,418
- Did you talk to her about this?
- I didn't see the point.
335
00:22:46,585 --> 00:22:50,335
- Didn't you see any sense in it?
- I want to see Okeoma at the club.
336
00:22:50,501 --> 00:22:52,418
Let's discuss this when I get back.
337
00:22:52,585 --> 00:22:55,251
- I'll stay here tonight.
- No.
338
00:22:55,418 --> 00:22:58,335
- What?
- I said no.
339
00:22:58,501 --> 00:23:00,543
What's wrong with you, Olanna?
340
00:23:01,335 --> 00:23:05,001
Go away. �Go play yourself
tennis and don't come back!
341
00:23:13,782 --> 00:23:17,602
PORT HARCOURT,
WESTERN NIGERIA.
342
00:23:18,585 --> 00:23:20,001
Olanna?
343
00:23:20,168 --> 00:23:22,001
Did something happen?
344
00:23:22,168 --> 00:23:23,918
Nothing happened.
345
00:23:24,085 --> 00:23:27,168
I just wanted to say hi,
see how you were.
346
00:23:29,085 --> 00:23:32,876
How is Nsukka? How
Is your lover revolutionary?
347
00:23:33,043 --> 00:23:36,710
Odenigbo is fine.
Nsukka too.
348
00:23:36,876 --> 00:23:38,835
Richard seems to be seduced.
349
00:23:39,001 --> 00:23:43,168
He even seems seduced by
revolutionary, but I forgive him.
350
00:23:43,335 --> 00:23:45,918
You should come and visit me.
351
00:23:46,085 --> 00:23:47,960
Soon.
352
00:23:48,126 --> 00:23:50,335
You sound quite muffled.
353
00:23:50,501 --> 00:23:54,043
Are you sure nothing happened?
Bluntly, Olanna.
354
00:23:54,543 --> 00:23:57,918
It's nothing. Just a
small misunderstanding with...
355
00:23:58,085 --> 00:24:01,501
- With the revolutionary?
- No, with his mother.
356
00:24:02,668 --> 00:24:05,210
But it's nothing, really.
357
00:24:32,668 --> 00:24:34,543
You reek of Brandy.
358
00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:36,501
Are you still upset?
359
00:24:38,085 --> 00:24:41,501
Get dressed, we'll come back together.
360
00:24:42,793 --> 00:24:44,585
I'll talk to mom.
361
00:24:45,793 --> 00:24:49,085
No, you don't have to do that.
362
00:24:51,001 --> 00:24:52,835
Stay here.
363
00:25:08,251 --> 00:25:10,043
If you're not going to marry me...
364
00:25:11,335 --> 00:25:13,251
let's have a son.
365
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,210
Let's have a son, Nkem.
366
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,168
A girl... like you.
367
00:25:29,710 --> 00:25:33,418
We will call her Obianuju.
368
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,376
Because it will come to a
place where there is a lot.
369
00:25:40,835 --> 00:25:42,668
Or a child.
370
00:25:47,168 --> 00:25:49,918
We will have the
breakfast in bed.
371
00:25:50,085 --> 00:25:53,293
Or this is one of
your Sundays of faith?
372
00:25:53,460 --> 00:25:55,710
I won't go today.
373
00:25:55,876 --> 00:25:57,043
Good.
374
00:25:58,168 --> 00:26:00,543
Because we have
work to do.
375
00:26:10,585 --> 00:26:13,168
We will have a beautiful boy, Nkem.
376
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,943
- We will have a brilliant child.
- Yes.
377
00:26:18,460 --> 00:26:20,710
Our enemies
They are politics
378
00:26:20,711 --> 00:26:22,711
the speculators,
scammers...
379
00:26:22,876 --> 00:26:27,001
Nkem! It happened. Ha
There was a coup d'état.
380
00:26:27,168 --> 00:26:29,751
Major Nzeogwu is
speaking from Kaduna.
381
00:26:30,710 --> 00:26:32,876
What's happening in Lagos?
382
00:26:33,043 --> 00:26:34,835
"I asked what is it?"
happening in Lagos?
383
00:26:35,001 --> 00:26:37,835
Your parents are fine. The
Civilian population is safe.
384
00:26:38,001 --> 00:26:40,085
Operator...
385
00:26:40,251 --> 00:26:42,751
- There is no line.
- They're fine. It's just for security.
386
00:26:42,918 --> 00:26:44,426
The lines will return
once they have
387
00:26:44,427 --> 00:26:46,147
taken completely
government control.
388
00:26:47,751 --> 00:26:49,110
Those soldiers are
true heroes.
389
00:26:49,111 --> 00:26:50,351
This is the end of corruption.
390
00:26:50,376 --> 00:26:54,376
That's the Minister of Finance. If
He shit before they shot him.
391
00:26:55,251 --> 00:26:58,085
I knew Okonji. It was
a friend of my father.
392
00:26:58,251 --> 00:27:01,501
The BBC is calling it the Coup
of Igbo State. And they have a point.
393
00:27:01,668 --> 00:27:03,035
They were mostly
of the North those who
394
00:27:03,036 --> 00:27:04,397
were killed,
after all.
395
00:27:04,501 --> 00:27:06,102
They were mostly from
North in the Government.
396
00:27:06,251 --> 00:27:08,710
The BBC should ask who
they put the northerners in the government
397
00:27:08,876 --> 00:27:10,293
to control them all.
398
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,260
If we had more men
like Major Nzeogwu in this country,
399
00:27:12,261 --> 00:27:13,961
We wouldn't be where we are today.
400
00:27:14,126 --> 00:27:16,085
Isn't he a communist?
401
00:27:16,251 --> 00:27:18,335
You Americans
They are so predictable.
402
00:27:18,501 --> 00:27:21,043
Do you think we have time
to worry about that?
403
00:27:21,210 --> 00:27:24,501
The Coup d'état had no
success for himself in Lagos.
404
00:27:24,668 --> 00:27:26,501
Those politicians who
they survived they requested
405
00:27:26,502 --> 00:27:28,502
to the army that
will take control.
406
00:27:28,668 --> 00:27:32,585
And Major General Ironsi,
an Igbo, took control.
407
00:27:32,751 --> 00:27:34,876
�he concentrated the
authority in Lagos
408
00:27:35,043 --> 00:27:37,001
and reduced the power
of the regions.
409
00:27:37,585 --> 00:27:40,335
It seemed as if the Igbos
They began to dominate the entire country
410
00:27:40,501 --> 00:27:42,460
and those of the North
They were suspicious.
411
00:28:03,085 --> 00:28:06,085
My son told me that you had
gone to town to see your mother.
412
00:28:06,251 --> 00:28:10,210
Yes, mom. Welcome, mom.
Welcome, Aunt Amala.
413
00:28:10,376 --> 00:28:13,751
Go rest, Ugwu. I am
preparing my son's dinner.
414
00:28:13,918 --> 00:28:16,335
I will stay in the kitchen for
If you need help, mom.
415
00:28:17,585 --> 00:28:19,710
Do you cook Ofe Nsala well?
416
00:28:19,876 --> 00:28:23,418
- I've never cooked it.
- Why? My son likes it.
417
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,001
My lady has never
asked to cook it.
418
00:28:26,168 --> 00:28:29,460
"Ma'am." She is not you
lady, my son.
419
00:28:29,626 --> 00:28:31,210
She is just a woman who
is living with a man
420
00:28:31,376 --> 00:28:33,335
who has not paid her dowry.
421
00:28:34,626 --> 00:28:37,793
"Richard, you said that
Were you going to Lagos tomorrow?
422
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,501
Yes, go.
423
00:28:40,668 --> 00:28:42,918
To give moral support to Kainene?
424
00:28:43,085 --> 00:28:44,751
Not exactly, Lara.
425
00:28:45,585 --> 00:28:49,460
It's the Boss's 60th birthday.
Ozobia, and they are going to have a party.
426
00:28:49,626 --> 00:28:51,585
See? Richard
He is a gentleman.
427
00:28:51,751 --> 00:28:53,251
It will go all the way to Lagos
428
00:28:53,252 --> 00:28:54,853
to give to Kainene,
that you don't need it,
429
00:28:54,918 --> 00:28:56,168
moral support.
430
00:28:56,335 --> 00:28:58,418
"And you, what are you doing?"
431
00:28:58,585 --> 00:29:01,960
when Olanna has had to
rush to Lagos by herself?
432
00:29:02,126 --> 00:29:04,460
How is your book doing?
433
00:29:04,626 --> 00:29:07,043
- I'm developing it.
- It's a novel, right?
434
00:29:07,210 --> 00:29:10,001
- Yes.
- More wine?
435
00:29:10,168 --> 00:29:11,835
Yes, please.
436
00:29:12,001 --> 00:29:15,043
Odenigbo, you are not trying
to get drunk, right?
437
00:29:15,210 --> 00:29:17,001
What is it about?
438
00:29:17,168 --> 00:29:20,543
As soon as it is finished,
You will be the first to read it.
439
00:29:20,710 --> 00:29:22,835
Ugwu, more wine!
440
00:29:23,001 --> 00:29:24,460
�UgWu!
441
00:29:24,626 --> 00:29:26,876
I brought a cool wine
of palm for my son.
442
00:29:27,043 --> 00:29:31,001
Our best winemaker
He brought it to me this morning.
443
00:29:31,168 --> 00:29:32,335
�Ugwu!
444
00:29:44,210 --> 00:29:45,926
My point is that
the only identity
445
00:29:45,927 --> 00:29:47,627
authentic for a
African is his tribe.
446
00:29:47,793 --> 00:29:51,085
I am a Nigerian because
the white man created Nigeria
447
00:29:51,251 --> 00:29:53,418
and he gave me that
identity, and I'm black
448
00:29:53,585 --> 00:29:55,626
because the white man
I built the black
449
00:29:55,793 --> 00:29:58,273
to be so different from white
as humanly possible.
450
00:29:58,376 --> 00:30:01,085
But I was Igbo before
for the white man to come.
451
00:30:01,251 --> 00:30:04,460
But you realized that
you were Igbo because of the white man.
452
00:30:04,626 --> 00:30:05,935
The same idea Bread Igbo...
453
00:30:05,936 --> 00:30:07,336
�Go ask the
old people in the village!
454
00:30:07,501 --> 00:30:10,043
The problem is that Odenigbo
He is a hopeless tribalist,
455
00:30:10,210 --> 00:30:11,960
We have to keep it quiet.
456
00:30:12,126 --> 00:30:14,085
I'll go powder my nose.
457
00:30:16,751 --> 00:30:18,543
I'm sorry, Richard.
458
00:30:32,168 --> 00:30:34,210
It doesn't seem like
I want to go home today.
459
00:30:34,376 --> 00:30:35,710
�Surely you don't plan
do something with it?
460
00:30:35,876 --> 00:30:38,585
- Don't talk trash.
- Nobody in Lagos would know.
461
00:30:38,751 --> 00:30:40,168
Look, look.
462
00:30:40,335 --> 00:30:44,251
- I know you're not interested in her.
- I'm not. And that's all.
463
00:31:19,793 --> 00:31:22,085
I can't wait
Let it be Tuesday.
464
00:31:22,251 --> 00:31:23,835
Me neither.
465
00:31:25,210 --> 00:31:27,290
Tell Ugwu to ventilate the
carpet in the bedroom.
466
00:31:27,335 --> 00:31:30,001
- Why?
- Why what?
467
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,876
�Why do you want the rug?
of the ventilated bedroom?
468
00:31:34,043 --> 00:31:36,960
Because it has not been
aired long ago.
469
00:31:38,585 --> 00:31:41,585
You sound very bad
humor. Are you okay?
470
00:31:43,043 --> 00:31:46,960
My mother is here.
I didn't know it was coming.
471
00:31:47,126 --> 00:31:50,668
- Will you leave before Tuesday?
- I don't know.
472
00:31:50,835 --> 00:31:54,710
- I wish you were here.
- Well, I'm glad not.
473
00:31:54,876 --> 00:31:57,085
�You had one
conversation with her
474
00:31:57,251 --> 00:32:00,793
about breaking the spell
of the educated witch?
475
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,210
I'll talk to her, Nkem...
476
00:32:04,418 --> 00:32:05,835
I'm sorry.
477
00:32:07,501 --> 00:32:09,543
I'm very sorry.
478
00:32:12,210 --> 00:32:14,251
-Richard.
- Yes, dear?
479
00:32:14,418 --> 00:32:18,210
You were in Nsukka two years ago
days. Dress up the revolutionary.
480
00:32:18,376 --> 00:32:21,043
Did you notice anything unusual about him?
481
00:32:21,210 --> 00:32:24,335
"It was something more than not
his petulant and self-righteous ego?
482
00:32:24,501 --> 00:32:28,376
I won't wait until
Tuesday. I'll go home today.
483
00:32:28,543 --> 00:32:32,210
�Olanna, do you want
what goes with you?
484
00:32:36,918 --> 00:32:39,043
Let me accompany you.
485
00:32:39,210 --> 00:32:40,793
No.
486
00:32:47,126 --> 00:32:48,251
Nkem?
487
00:32:49,710 --> 00:32:53,626
Nkem, what a pleasant surprise!
488
00:32:53,793 --> 00:32:56,501
It's good to have you
return. It's very good.
489
00:32:56,668 --> 00:32:59,918
- Good afternoon, mom.
- Olanna, how are you?
490
00:33:00,085 --> 00:33:03,043
Mom and Amala are leaving.
I take them to the parking lot.
491
00:33:03,210 --> 00:33:07,001
Amala, how are you? No
I knew you were coming too.
492
00:33:07,168 --> 00:33:09,251
Do you have your things?
Come on, let's go.
493
00:33:09,418 --> 00:33:10,876
Have you already eaten, mom?
494
00:33:10,877 --> 00:33:12,987
My morning meal feels
heavy in my stomach.
495
00:33:13,043 --> 00:33:14,960
- I have a game later.
- Do you love her?
496
00:33:15,126 --> 00:33:17,126
- I hope you have eaten something.
- Yes, aunt, thank you.
497
00:33:17,293 --> 00:33:18,418
Come on.
498
00:33:18,585 --> 00:33:21,251
Give Amala the keys to
Put the things in the car.
499
00:33:23,335 --> 00:33:24,543
OK.
500
00:33:26,876 --> 00:33:29,526
- Go well.
- Yes.
501
00:33:35,543 --> 00:33:37,960
Ma'am, are you going to eat?
Do I heat the rice?
502
00:33:38,126 --> 00:33:40,168
Not now.
503
00:33:40,335 --> 00:33:43,085
Go see if some
avocados are ripe.
504
00:33:43,251 --> 00:33:44,960
Yes, ma'am.
505
00:34:14,418 --> 00:34:16,376
Did something happen?
506
00:34:18,168 --> 00:34:21,085
Yes, in fact yes.
507
00:34:22,418 --> 00:34:24,460
some of my students
He didn't come to the final exam,
508
00:34:24,626 --> 00:34:29,043
and this morning he tried to offer me
money to pass it on.
509
00:34:29,210 --> 00:34:31,001
Ignorant.
510
00:34:34,210 --> 00:34:36,585
I didn't know that Amala
I had come with mom.
511
00:34:38,585 --> 00:34:40,043
Yes.
512
00:34:45,168 --> 00:34:47,126
Did you touch Amala?
513
00:34:50,251 --> 00:34:52,335
Did you touch Amala?
514
00:34:57,335 --> 00:34:58,960
Olanna...
515
00:35:00,501 --> 00:35:02,501
Olanna.
516
00:35:35,876 --> 00:35:37,376
Nkem?
517
00:35:41,460 --> 00:35:42,960
�Nkem?
518
00:35:44,251 --> 00:35:47,543
Nkem, please
open. Please!
519
00:35:51,043 --> 00:35:52,168
�Nkem!
520
00:35:54,835 --> 00:35:56,418
�Nkem, please open!
521
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,793
Please open, Nkem.
522
00:36:01,710 --> 00:36:03,251
�Nkem!
523
00:36:05,585 --> 00:36:08,793
Nkem, please.
Please open!
524
00:36:11,376 --> 00:36:12,626
�Nkem!
525
00:36:19,835 --> 00:36:22,335
I was drunk, Nkem.
526
00:36:23,668 --> 00:36:27,960
I was drunk, and
Amala made me!
527
00:36:28,126 --> 00:36:32,710
It was brief...
reckless... lustful.
528
00:36:33,626 --> 00:36:37,001
It didn't mean anything, Nkem, nothing!
529
00:36:40,460 --> 00:36:42,126
Go away.
530
00:37:08,335 --> 00:37:12,210
I think I'm going to postpone
my program in Nsukka
531
00:37:12,376 --> 00:37:14,710
and I will stay here in Kano.
532
00:37:14,876 --> 00:37:17,210
No, MBA.
533
00:37:17,376 --> 00:37:19,876
You will return to Nsukka.
534
00:37:21,210 --> 00:37:23,835
I can't go back to your house, aunt.
535
00:37:24,001 --> 00:37:26,168
I'm not asking you
that you return to his house.
536
00:37:26,335 --> 00:37:28,793
I said go back to Nsukka.
537
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,960
�You don't have your own
apartment and your own job?
538
00:37:33,085 --> 00:37:36,793
Odenigbo has done what everyone
men do, insert their penis
539
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,501
in the first hole he could
find when you were out.
540
00:37:40,668 --> 00:37:43,043
�That means
that someone died?
541
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,960
When your uncle married me,
542
00:37:50,126 --> 00:37:54,751
I worried because I thought
that all those women outside
543
00:37:54,918 --> 00:37:57,710
they would come to
move from my house.
544
00:37:59,085 --> 00:38:03,585
Now I know that nothing
would make me change my life.
545
00:38:03,751 --> 00:38:07,043
My life will change only
If I want it to change.
546
00:38:09,085 --> 00:38:11,501
What are you saying, auntie?
547
00:38:11,668 --> 00:38:15,001
He is very careful now,
548
00:38:15,168 --> 00:38:18,251
since he realized
that I am no longer afraid.
549
00:38:19,751 --> 00:38:25,001
I have told him that if he ever
brings misfortune in some way,
550
00:38:25,168 --> 00:38:27,460
I will cut off that snake
between his legs.
551
00:38:28,460 --> 00:38:32,376
You should never behave as if
Your life belonged to a man.
552
00:38:32,543 --> 00:38:37,126
Do you hear me? Your life
It belongs to you and you alone.
553
00:38:37,127 --> 00:38:38,727
Very sorry.
554
00:38:42,126 --> 00:38:44,710
You will return on Saturday.
555
00:38:46,626 --> 00:38:50,168
Let me hurry up to make you
some Abacha for you to take away.
556
00:38:54,209 --> 00:38:56,969
Kano Airport.
557
00:38:57,751 --> 00:39:01,043
Would you like to read this?
558
00:39:01,210 --> 00:39:03,251
Yes, thank you.
559
00:39:03,418 --> 00:39:06,376
They have finally eliminated
to that Igbo Vice-Chancellor
560
00:39:06,543 --> 00:39:10,085
from the University of Lagos,
It's on the back cover.
561
00:39:14,543 --> 00:39:17,835
The problem with the Igbo people
is that they want to control everything
562
00:39:18,001 --> 00:39:20,376
in the country, everything.
563
00:39:20,543 --> 00:39:23,585
They own all the stores,
They control the Public Administration.
564
00:39:23,751 --> 00:39:25,626
Even the police.
565
00:39:25,793 --> 00:39:28,243
If you are arrested for a crime,
as long as you can
566
00:39:28,310 --> 00:39:31,251
say "keda", they will let you go.
567
00:39:31,418 --> 00:39:34,710
And now with this Coup of
State, they control the Army.
568
00:39:34,876 --> 00:39:37,668
We say "kedu", not "keda".
569
00:39:38,168 --> 00:39:40,126
It means: "How are you?"
570
00:39:40,293 --> 00:39:43,251
- Are you Igbo?
- Yes.
571
00:39:43,418 --> 00:39:46,418
- But you have the face of a Fulani.
- Igbo.
572
00:40:12,418 --> 00:40:14,543
The master looks like someone
who cries every day...
573
00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:17,710
- Put my mixer in the cardboard.
- Yes, ma'am.
574
00:40:21,126 --> 00:40:22,793
Madam, please
forgive the master.
575
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,751
- Put the mixer in the car.
- Yes, ma'am.
576
00:40:29,710 --> 00:40:32,168
�The guests continue
coming at night?
577
00:40:32,335 --> 00:40:34,543
Not like before, lady,
when you were.
578
00:40:34,710 --> 00:40:37,376
- But they keep coming?
- Yes.
579
00:40:37,543 --> 00:40:41,335
And your master still plays
to tennis and go to the club?
580
00:40:41,501 --> 00:40:42,793
Yes.
581
00:40:44,710 --> 00:40:46,043
Good.
582
00:41:00,501 --> 00:41:03,876
- What's wrong?
- Amala is pregnant.
583
00:41:05,418 --> 00:41:06,585
What?
584
00:41:06,751 --> 00:41:10,793
Mom just came to tell me that
Amala is pregnant with my son.
585
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,126
Please let me in.
586
00:41:26,835 --> 00:41:28,001
Please.
587
00:41:32,210 --> 00:41:35,918
We will do what you want. what
you want, let's do it together.
588
00:41:36,085 --> 00:41:39,001
You said it happened
just once.
589
00:41:39,168 --> 00:41:41,585
"Only once and
Did I get pregnant?
590
00:41:41,751 --> 00:41:44,543
- It was just one time.
- Just once, I see.
591
00:41:46,460 --> 00:41:49,418
I told mom I would send
Amala with Dr Okonkwo in Enugu.
592
00:41:51,501 --> 00:41:54,710
She said it would be
on top of his corpse.
593
00:41:54,876 --> 00:41:58,668
He said that Amala will have
child and would raise him herself.
594
00:42:01,793 --> 00:42:03,793
Mom planned this
from the beginning.
595
00:42:05,835 --> 00:42:08,376
Now I see how she
made sure he was drunk
596
00:42:08,543 --> 00:42:10,668
before sending Amala with me.
597
00:42:12,001 --> 00:42:15,418
I feel like I have been
involved in something that I...
598
00:42:15,585 --> 00:42:17,710
I don't understand at all.
599
00:42:17,876 --> 00:42:20,376
Nobody got you involved in anything!
600
00:43:12,168 --> 00:43:14,126
I thought it was you.
601
00:43:14,293 --> 00:43:17,168
How are you?
Are you okay?
602
00:43:17,335 --> 00:43:19,668
Very good.
603
00:43:19,835 --> 00:43:23,043
I can't decide if I should
choose Bordeaux or Burgundy.
604
00:43:23,210 --> 00:43:25,001
Can I help?
605
00:43:26,793 --> 00:43:29,501
Why don't I buy both?
and if you share it with me,
606
00:43:29,668 --> 00:43:32,001
We can decide which one is better.
607
00:43:32,168 --> 00:43:35,335
�You can have a free hour or you have
Than run back to your writing?
608
00:43:35,501 --> 00:43:37,751
I would hate to have to
bother you, really.
609
00:43:37,918 --> 00:43:40,376
Of course
It wouldn't bother me.
610
00:43:40,543 --> 00:43:42,960
Besides, you've never visited me...
611
00:43:44,501 --> 00:43:46,460
in my apartment.
612
00:43:54,210 --> 00:43:56,668
you have to write
about the horrible
613
00:43:56,669 --> 00:43:59,169
things that the British
they made in Kenya.
614
00:43:59,335 --> 00:44:01,960
Weren't the testicles cut off?
615
00:44:02,126 --> 00:44:04,335
- They didn't do it?
- Yes.
616
00:44:06,501 --> 00:44:08,710
You should write it down then.
617
00:44:11,543 --> 00:44:15,001
- Do you have a title for your book?
- "The Basket of Hands."
618
00:44:15,168 --> 00:44:19,460
"The Basket of Hands."
It sounds macabre.
619
00:44:19,626 --> 00:44:23,001
It's about the workmanship.
The good things they accomplished.
620
00:44:24,418 --> 00:44:26,668
The railways,
for example, but...
621
00:44:28,543 --> 00:44:31,293
also like the hand
of work was exploited.
622
00:44:31,460 --> 00:44:34,668
And how far it went
the colonial enterprise.
623
00:44:46,835 --> 00:44:49,960
-My glass is not very empty.
- No, it's not.
624
00:45:00,668 --> 00:45:03,543
Come and sit
on the floor with me.
625
00:45:03,710 --> 00:45:05,668
I should go.
626
00:45:27,210 --> 00:45:34,085
Santa Baby, and fill my stocking
with a duplex and checks.
627
00:45:34,251 --> 00:45:38,543
Sign with your "X" on
the line, Santa Baby...
628
00:45:40,043 --> 00:45:42,126
Do you want something, madam?
629
00:45:42,293 --> 00:45:45,501
Those look very good.
Did you use fertilizer?
630
00:45:45,668 --> 00:45:47,376
- Yes, ma'am.
-And the peppers?
631
00:45:47,543 --> 00:45:49,876
Yes, ma'am. Madam?
632
00:45:50,043 --> 00:45:52,335
Mom used bad medicine
in my master, lady.
633
00:45:52,501 --> 00:45:53,710
Garbage!
634
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,126
Let's get married.
635
00:46:15,710 --> 00:46:18,293
Mom will leave us alone then.
636
00:46:20,168 --> 00:46:22,168
I slept with Richard.
637
00:46:34,751 --> 00:46:36,126
No.
638
00:46:37,751 --> 00:46:39,251
Yes.
639
00:46:54,210 --> 00:46:56,626
Do you have feelings for him?
640
00:46:57,918 --> 00:46:59,501
No.
641
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,001
If you don't have feelings
for him, then why?
642
00:47:13,210 --> 00:47:14,710
Olanna?
643
00:47:41,251 --> 00:47:43,043
Is your master here?
644
00:47:43,210 --> 00:47:46,626
- Is your master here?
- Thank you, Harrison.
645
00:47:46,793 --> 00:47:49,460
I want you to stay away
from my house! Do you understand me?
646
00:47:49,626 --> 00:47:51,210
Get away!
647
00:48:15,085 --> 00:48:17,668
We are still trying
to have a child?
648
00:48:19,543 --> 00:48:21,710
Of course I do.
649
00:48:22,876 --> 00:48:24,835
Or not?
650
00:48:25,376 --> 00:48:28,376
- Bring me some brandy.
- Yes, sir.
651
00:48:47,501 --> 00:48:51,960
Give that to Odenigbo. tell him that
Amala has refused to touch her.
652
00:49:19,126 --> 00:49:22,168
Mom doesn't want
stay with the girl.
653
00:49:22,335 --> 00:49:24,460
There is a young man who works
wood in Ondo
654
00:49:24,626 --> 00:49:26,626
the one Amala is going to marry.
655
00:49:26,793 --> 00:49:29,126
"Mom" doesn't want
stay with the girl?
656
00:49:32,251 --> 00:49:33,876
She wanted a boy.
657
00:49:34,043 --> 00:49:36,460
I have spoken with the
Amala's family.
658
00:49:36,626 --> 00:49:39,335
We have agreed that the
baby is going to stay with them.
659
00:49:39,501 --> 00:49:43,668
I'm going to Abba next
week to see them and talk about it.
660
00:49:43,835 --> 00:49:45,751
We will stay with her.
661
00:49:45,918 --> 00:49:49,710
Our relationship is the most
important to me, Nkem.
662
00:49:49,876 --> 00:49:52,876
We have to take the
best decision for us.
663
00:49:54,460 --> 00:49:56,501
You weren't thinking
in our relationship
664
00:49:56,668 --> 00:49:58,626
when you got her pregnant.
665
00:50:03,376 --> 00:50:05,168
Let's think about it.
666
00:50:14,543 --> 00:50:17,918
- How noble of you.
- I'm not being noble.
667
00:50:18,085 --> 00:50:21,376
- Will you formally adopt her?
- Yes, I think so.
668
00:50:21,543 --> 00:50:24,293
What will you say to him?
669
00:50:24,460 --> 00:50:27,126
- What will you say?
- Yes, when I'm older.
670
00:50:27,293 --> 00:50:31,460
The truth... that
Amala is her mother.
671
00:50:31,626 --> 00:50:34,376
And I will have her calling me
mom Olanna or something like that,
672
00:50:34,543 --> 00:50:37,668
so if Amala ever
Come back, it could be your mom.
673
00:50:37,835 --> 00:50:39,915
You are doing this to
please the revolutionary.
674
00:50:39,918 --> 00:50:42,501
- It's not like that.
- Why do you do it then?
675
00:50:45,668 --> 00:50:47,710
I was so helpless.
676
00:50:50,168 --> 00:50:52,126
I felt like I knew her.
677
00:51:02,126 --> 00:51:04,876
I think that's one
very brave decision.
678
00:51:10,335 --> 00:51:12,460
Are you coming back for his baptism?
679
00:51:12,626 --> 00:51:14,418
Yes. Of course, it will.
680
00:51:14,585 --> 00:51:17,626
- This is excellent, Harrison.
- Thank you, ma'am.
681
00:51:19,918 --> 00:51:22,668
He doesn't deserve you, you know.
682
00:51:25,251 --> 00:51:26,810
This cake tastes better than the one
683
00:51:26,811 --> 00:51:28,211
tried last time
I was in London.
684
00:51:28,376 --> 00:51:29,710
Thank you, madam.
685
00:51:29,876 --> 00:51:33,168
My master tells me that everyone at home
They say the same about Mr. Odenigbo.
686
00:51:33,335 --> 00:51:34,626
Did you do them?
687
00:51:34,793 --> 00:51:36,585
I used to do it so
my master ate there,
688
00:51:36,751 --> 00:51:39,191
but I haven't done anything again
for the house of Mr. Odenigbo
689
00:51:39,335 --> 00:51:41,136
since that time
I was shouting at my master.
690
00:51:41,251 --> 00:51:44,001
He screamed like a madman and
The whole street listened to him.
691
00:51:44,168 --> 00:51:46,126
The head of that
man is not well.
692
00:52:23,751 --> 00:52:26,168
I hope not
say: "Forgive me."
693
00:52:26,335 --> 00:52:28,835
There is nothing more trite.
694
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:33,751
Please don't go.
695
00:52:33,918 --> 00:52:38,126
Leave? That would be
too easy, right?
696
00:52:40,793 --> 00:52:43,251
- I'm sorry, Kainene.
- It would be forgivable...
697
00:52:43,418 --> 00:52:46,501
if it were another
person, not my sister!
698
00:52:50,251 --> 00:52:52,210
Very sorry.
699
00:52:56,251 --> 00:52:58,668
You must sleep in
the guest room.
700
00:52:58,835 --> 00:53:01,876
Yes, yes, of course.
701
00:53:07,876 --> 00:53:12,251
In May, Major General Ironsi
abolished the regions by decree.
702
00:53:12,751 --> 00:53:15,001
This was the last straw for the north.
703
00:53:15,668 --> 00:53:18,010
There were riots and
Ironsi's regime
704
00:53:18,011 --> 00:53:20,211
fell after
just six months.
705
00:53:20,376 --> 00:53:23,710
In Ibadan, among the
northern troops, was killed.
706
00:53:23,876 --> 00:53:26,226
The looting,
riots, ambushes
707
00:53:26,227 --> 00:53:28,627
they left thousands of Igbos dead.
708
00:53:28,793 --> 00:53:30,626
Those from the north took
advantage of confusion
709
00:53:30,793 --> 00:53:32,551
to exploit their
long repressed anger
710
00:53:32,552 --> 00:53:34,252
in success
economic of the Igbos
711
00:53:34,418 --> 00:53:37,085
those who emigrated
to their own region.
712
00:53:38,876 --> 00:53:40,876
Anything to declare, sir?
713
00:53:41,043 --> 00:53:43,293
- No. I'm going to London.
- OK. Well done, sir.
714
00:53:51,126 --> 00:53:53,960
- Where are you from?
- I'm from Obosi.
715
00:53:55,460 --> 00:53:59,376
My fiancee is from Umunnachi,
not far from where you are.
716
00:53:59,543 --> 00:54:04,335
- Your fiancée, sir?
- Yes. Her name is Kainene.
717
00:54:04,501 --> 00:54:06,960
Do you speak Igbo, sir?
718
00:54:07,126 --> 00:54:10,335
You speak... My
name is Nnaemeka.
719
00:54:10,501 --> 00:54:12,835
- A pleasure to talk to you.
- Thank you sir.
720
00:54:15,626 --> 00:54:18,793
�We have a small
technical difficulty here!
721
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:22,168
�A little problem that
can be solved very easily!
722
00:54:27,543 --> 00:54:31,793
I love all our visitors
foreigners together here.
723
00:54:46,251 --> 00:54:47,918
This way, sir.
724
00:54:48,085 --> 00:54:51,251
Passports!
Bring your passports!
725
00:54:53,501 --> 00:54:55,085
Where is your passport?
726
00:54:55,251 --> 00:54:57,960
At home, sir. I don't
I have it here, sir.
727
00:55:01,001 --> 00:55:03,168
- Are you Igbo?
- Yes, sir.
728
00:55:03,335 --> 00:55:05,001
- Come, my brother, come.
- Yes, sir.
729
00:55:06,210 --> 00:55:08,668
- Turn the page.
- Passports!
730
00:55:08,835 --> 00:55:10,418
Show me your passport!
731
00:55:11,876 --> 00:55:13,668
-What church do you attend?
- I am Catholic.
732
00:55:13,835 --> 00:55:16,876
Are you Catholic? It's okay.
What is the name of the church?
733
00:55:17,043 --> 00:55:19,168
- Santo Domingo.
- Santo Domingo...
734
00:55:19,335 --> 00:55:23,126
Listen, wait for me
a minute here....
735
00:55:23,293 --> 00:55:25,293
Passport!
736
00:55:43,835 --> 00:55:46,293
Get up! Let's go!
737
00:55:46,460 --> 00:55:47,710
Move! Now!
738
00:55:51,168 --> 00:55:54,043
Please, please.
Please don't.
739
00:56:07,626 --> 00:56:08,918
�Okay, line them up!
740
00:56:34,710 --> 00:56:37,876
Let me get out of the car.
Stop the car!
741
00:56:44,376 --> 00:56:46,043
What's going on here?
What is happening?
742
00:56:47,210 --> 00:56:49,376
No, no!
743
00:56:50,293 --> 00:56:52,168
- Lady!
- Aunt!
744
00:56:53,501 --> 00:56:55,168
�Auntie!
745
00:56:56,835 --> 00:56:59,210
No! Auntie!
746
00:57:01,918 --> 00:57:03,918
Please, madam, please.
We have to go!
747
00:57:04,085 --> 00:57:06,210
There are only problems.
Here. We have to go.
748
00:57:09,501 --> 00:57:11,918
Murderer!
749
00:57:13,585 --> 00:57:15,293
Get in the car!
750
00:57:17,043 --> 00:57:18,835
He has to get in the car.
Get in the car!
751
00:57:19,001 --> 00:57:21,668
We have to go now, ma'am.
Sorry, we have to go.
752
00:57:31,043 --> 00:57:33,123
Please, please, let us
in peace. Leave us alone.
753
00:57:53,876 --> 00:57:55,876
I'm sorry, aunt.
754
00:58:06,043 --> 00:58:08,335
The Military Governor of the
Eastern Region, Colonel Ojukwu,
755
00:58:08,501 --> 00:58:10,342
was questioned by the
extent of the slaughter.
756
00:58:10,418 --> 00:58:13,668
I can't give you the figures
totals, but this is true:
757
00:58:13,835 --> 00:58:18,918
The May 29 riots
758
00:58:19,085 --> 00:58:21,210
in fact, they took the figure
759
00:58:21,376 --> 00:58:26,751
about 3300
orientals in the north.
760
00:58:28,418 --> 00:58:32,293
I know that on the first night
of the September riots
761
00:58:34,001 --> 00:58:38,251
in Zaria only
They were 670.
762
00:58:40,001 --> 00:58:45,335
In Kano, definitely
between 1000 and 1500.
763
00:58:46,335 --> 00:58:48,976
What can we say about our colleagues at
the university of Ibadan and Zaria?
764
00:58:49,001 --> 00:58:52,501
They remained silent while the
white expat encouraged the killing!
765
00:58:52,668 --> 00:58:55,751
You would have been one of them
if you were not in Igboland!
766
00:58:55,918 --> 00:58:57,676
How much compassion can you have?
767
00:58:57,677 --> 00:58:59,478
Don't you dare say
I have no compassion!
768
00:58:59,543 --> 00:59:01,376
Saying that secession is not the
only way of security
769
00:59:01,543 --> 00:59:03,710
doesn't mean no
have compassion!
770
00:59:03,876 --> 00:59:07,293
Did your uncle die? You will return
with your family in Lagos,
771
00:59:07,460 --> 00:59:09,418
and no one will harass you
for being Yoruba.
772
00:59:09,585 --> 00:59:12,918
�It is not your own people who
are they killing the Igbo in Lagos?
773
00:59:13,085 --> 00:59:15,043
Aren't your bosses going to
north to thank the Emir
774
00:59:15,210 --> 00:59:17,668
for forgiving the Yoruba people?
So what are you saying?
775
00:59:17,835 --> 00:59:20,418
How is your opinion relevant?
776
00:59:20,585 --> 00:59:22,001
You offend me, Odenigbo.
777
00:59:22,168 --> 00:59:24,001
Then the truth has been
turned into an insult, Olanna.
778
00:59:24,168 --> 00:59:28,043
This is unacceptable, Odenigbo.
You owe him an apology.
779
00:59:28,210 --> 00:59:30,793
It's not a question of whether
I owe him an apology or not.
780
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:32,960
�It is a question of
whether he spoke the truth or not!
781
00:59:33,126 --> 00:59:34,876
You owe him an apology!
782
00:59:35,043 --> 00:59:36,710
Well Nken, I will do it.
783
00:59:54,043 --> 00:59:57,001
When you're ready, ma'am.
Your food is here.
784
01:00:02,668 --> 01:00:04,668
What did you cook, Ugwu?
785
01:00:05,793 --> 01:00:08,376
I used fresh tomatoes from the garden.
786
01:00:09,876 --> 01:00:13,418
- Has the girl already eaten?
- Yes, ma'am. He's playing outside.
787
01:00:32,219 --> 01:00:35,819
Mayford, London.
788
01:00:36,376 --> 01:00:38,510
�This is love
wrong need for
789
01:00:38,511 --> 01:00:40,711
have you by my side
most of the time?
790
01:00:40,876 --> 01:00:45,001
�It is love, this security that
do I feel in our silences?
791
01:00:45,168 --> 01:00:48,501
�It is this belonging,
this plenitude?
792
01:00:53,710 --> 01:00:55,860
Operator, I would like to make one
793
01:00:55,861 --> 01:00:57,961
long distance call,
please. Nigeria.
794
01:00:58,126 --> 01:01:00,251
- To pay for you, sir?
- Yes.
795
01:01:00,418 --> 01:01:01,835
One moment, please.
796
01:01:04,501 --> 01:01:08,251
Hello? hello? Kainene?
797
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,918
- Are you Kainene?
- Hello, Richard.
798
01:01:13,085 --> 01:01:17,501
-How was your cousin's wedding?
- It was ok. Are you okay?
799
01:01:18,585 --> 01:01:20,335
I miss you, Richard.
800
01:01:22,335 --> 01:01:24,418
I'll fly home tomorrow.
801
01:01:26,668 --> 01:01:29,585
- Are you okay?
- Hurry up.
802
01:01:36,126 --> 01:01:38,418
This is our beginning.
803
01:01:39,210 --> 01:01:41,335
This is our beginning.
804
01:01:43,501 --> 01:01:45,751
Don't cry, baby,
You are a Biafra now.
805
01:01:45,918 --> 01:01:49,668
The Military Governor
of Eastern Nigeria,
806
01:01:49,835 --> 01:01:52,376
by virtue of authority,
807
01:01:52,543 --> 01:01:55,793
and in accordance with the
principles mentioned above,
808
01:01:56,418 --> 01:01:59,043
hereby
solemnly proclaims
809
01:01:59,210 --> 01:02:01,793
that the territory and the region
810
01:02:01,794 --> 01:02:04,794
known and called
like Eastern Nigeria,
811
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:09,293
along with its platform
continental and territorial waters,
812
01:02:09,460 --> 01:02:13,876
will be from now on, a
Sovereign and independent state.
813
01:02:14,418 --> 01:02:19,793
Under the name and title
of the Republic of Biafra.
814
01:02:40,376 --> 01:02:42,335
The war is coming.
815
01:02:43,251 --> 01:02:45,501
Port Harcourt
It's going crazy.
816
01:02:47,293 --> 01:02:49,251
It's the oil.
817
01:02:49,418 --> 01:02:52,418
They can't let us go
easily with all that oil.
818
01:02:57,585 --> 01:02:59,460
There will not be a war.
819
01:03:06,251 --> 01:03:09,501
If civil war comes,
as I believe is imminent,
820
01:03:09,668 --> 01:03:15,460
our people a long time ago
has prepared for that fact.
821
01:03:15,626 --> 01:03:18,293
And I'm sure
at your disposal.
822
01:03:20,335 --> 01:03:22,001
I think...
823
01:03:23,793 --> 01:03:26,001
that when it comes...
824
01:03:28,210 --> 01:03:33,251
the people in the other
side will be surprised...
825
01:03:35,543 --> 01:03:37,626
as to what
What are they going to get?
826
01:03:41,168 --> 01:03:45,126
What is that?
Did you hear it? Ugwu!
827
01:03:45,293 --> 01:03:48,418
- What is that? Odenigbo!
- The Feds are advancing.
828
01:03:48,585 --> 01:03:50,793
I think we should
Think about leaving today.
829
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,335
�Evacuate! Evacuate now!
830
01:03:53,501 --> 01:03:55,793
Let's go.
Let's go now.
831
01:04:00,626 --> 01:04:03,085
Evacuate now. The Federals
They have entered Nsukka!
832
01:04:03,251 --> 01:04:05,576
We are evacuating
now. Right now.
833
01:04:05,577 --> 01:04:07,877
I will go through all the other houses.
834
01:04:08,043 --> 01:04:11,376
Close fast. don't forget
the girl's room.
835
01:04:19,043 --> 01:04:22,126
Put a few things together,
Nkem. I'm going to check the engine.
836
01:04:22,293 --> 01:04:24,168
What things? What am I wearing?
837
01:04:24,335 --> 01:04:27,168
It won't be for long,
we will return soon. Some things, clothes.
838
01:04:27,335 --> 01:04:30,293
- I was cooking.
- Put it in the car.
839
01:05:41,210 --> 01:05:42,293
Ugwu!
840
01:05:48,501 --> 01:05:50,085
�Ugwu!
841
01:06:59,601 --> 01:07:02,686
NSUKKA (Northern Biafra)
842
01:07:03,227 --> 01:07:08,687
ABBA (Southern Biafra)
843
01:07:34,251 --> 01:07:37,293
I'm fine. you arrived
a little early.
844
01:07:37,460 --> 01:07:41,085
Yes, we finished early
because there will be a general meeting
845
01:07:41,251 --> 01:07:42,835
in the square tomorrow.
846
01:07:43,001 --> 01:07:45,710
- Why?
- The elders decided it was time.
847
01:07:47,251 --> 01:07:51,126
There are all kinds of silly rumors
that Abba will evacuate soon.
848
01:07:51,293 --> 01:07:53,710
some ignorant
They even say that
849
01:07:53,711 --> 01:07:56,211
federal troops
They have entered Awka.
850
01:07:56,376 --> 01:07:58,293
Are you going?
851
01:07:58,460 --> 01:08:00,960
To the meeting?
I'm not from Abba.
852
01:08:01,126 --> 01:08:04,001
But you could be if
you marry me
853
01:08:05,251 --> 01:08:07,210
You should be.
854
01:08:08,626 --> 01:08:11,876
- We are fine as we are.
- We are at war.
855
01:08:12,043 --> 01:08:14,418
My mother is going to have to decide
what will be done with my body
856
01:08:14,585 --> 01:08:16,460
if something happens to me.
857
01:08:16,626 --> 01:08:20,960
- You should decide that.
- Stop! Nothing will happen to you.
858
01:08:21,126 --> 01:08:24,710
I know nothing will happen to me. Really
I want you to marry me.
859
01:08:26,626 --> 01:08:28,418
We should get married.
860
01:08:29,668 --> 01:08:31,626
It doesn't make sense anymore.
861
01:08:33,460 --> 01:08:35,418
It never made sense.
862
01:08:39,293 --> 01:08:42,085
You will have to bring wine
to my father, then.
863
01:08:44,210 --> 01:08:45,835
Is that a yes?
864
01:08:48,835 --> 01:08:52,210
Yes, it's a yes.
865
01:09:00,501 --> 01:09:01,918
Mom.
866
01:09:02,085 --> 01:09:04,793
I wasn't sure that
you would receive my message about the wedding.
867
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,668
What wedding?
Where is he?
868
01:09:07,835 --> 01:09:10,126
Odenigbo? At work.
869
01:09:14,376 --> 01:09:16,210
Mom, what's all that for?
870
01:09:16,376 --> 01:09:18,210
I take them where
want me to go now.
871
01:09:18,211 --> 01:09:20,211
My diamonds are
inside my bra.
872
01:09:20,376 --> 01:09:22,251
Nobody knows what is happening.
873
01:09:22,418 --> 01:09:24,498
We are hearing that
Umunnachi is about to fall
874
01:09:24,501 --> 01:09:26,460
and that the Federals
They are very close.
875
01:09:26,626 --> 01:09:28,376
The vandals are not very close.
876
01:09:28,543 --> 01:09:30,460
Our troops are
taking back to Nsukka.
877
01:09:30,626 --> 01:09:33,626
But how long do they
does it take to drive them back?
878
01:09:33,793 --> 01:09:37,335
Anyway, your father and I
We have finalized our plans.
879
01:09:37,501 --> 01:09:39,585
We have paid someone
that will take us to Cameroon
880
01:09:39,751 --> 01:09:41,793
and will get us a
flight from there to London.
881
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:43,501
We paid for four spots.
882
01:09:43,668 --> 01:09:47,085
Your father has gone to Port
Harcourt to tell Kainene.
883
01:09:47,251 --> 01:09:49,543
You know I won't go.
884
01:09:49,710 --> 01:09:52,751
But you and daddy should go, yeah
That makes them feel safer.
885
01:09:52,918 --> 01:09:55,793
I will stay with Odenigbo
and the baby. We'll be fine.
886
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,626
Let's go to Umuahia soon so that
start working in the Management.
887
01:09:58,793 --> 01:10:00,043
What is that?
888
01:10:00,210 --> 01:10:02,668
The Labor Directorate
and Labor.
889
01:10:02,835 --> 01:10:04,876
As soon as you recover
Nsukka, let's go back.
890
01:10:05,043 --> 01:10:08,293
But what if Nsukka doesn't recover?
What if this war goes on and on?
891
01:10:08,460 --> 01:10:09,543
It won't be like that!
892
01:10:09,710 --> 01:10:12,668
How can I leave my children
and run to a safe place?
893
01:10:14,335 --> 01:10:16,626
We'll be fine, mom.
894
01:10:16,793 --> 01:10:20,918
You can still change your mind,
All four quotas are paid.
895
01:10:27,293 --> 01:10:29,293
Wedding? Which wedding?
896
01:10:36,626 --> 01:10:38,418
Good night, mom.
897
01:10:40,210 --> 01:10:42,501
Odenigbo has not returned yet.
898
01:10:54,335 --> 01:10:56,460
Smoking is bad for you, mom.
899
01:10:57,710 --> 01:11:00,210
It could be my daughter,
900
01:11:00,376 --> 01:11:03,793
but I'm too old
to die young from smoking.
901
01:11:06,626 --> 01:11:08,876
Is my granddaughter okay?
902
01:11:10,210 --> 01:11:12,043
The baby is fine.
903
01:11:13,751 --> 01:11:16,501
- She's inside, asleep.
- It's okay.
904
01:11:19,710 --> 01:11:22,293
I have not come to
see Odenigbo.
905
01:11:23,501 --> 01:11:26,543
It is you, my daughter, to the
that I have come to see.
906
01:11:28,418 --> 01:11:32,335
Assuming that the premium
of Odenigbo, Aniekwena,
907
01:11:32,501 --> 01:11:36,960
I was going to bring the wine to you
Father, how would you feel?
908
01:11:41,043 --> 01:11:45,460
- I ask you...
- I know what you're asking, mom.
909
01:11:45,626 --> 01:11:48,001
If you would marry my son.
910
01:11:52,626 --> 01:11:54,668
But why, mom?
911
01:11:57,376 --> 01:11:59,543
What has changed in me?
912
01:12:01,043 --> 01:12:03,710
Perhaps Odenigbo
Did I get you into this?
913
01:12:03,876 --> 01:12:06,335
"He arrived with you when he came"
home last night?
914
01:12:06,501 --> 01:12:09,585
Did he tell you what he would ask me for?
915
01:12:11,168 --> 01:12:14,876
I haven't seen my son
in three days, my daughter.
916
01:12:16,126 --> 01:12:18,501
Will you marry Odenigbo?
917
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:22,501
Yes.
918
01:12:26,793 --> 01:12:29,418
Yes, I will marry Odenigbo.
919
01:12:46,793 --> 01:12:51,168
It's too good to be true,
don't you think? Where is the trap?
920
01:12:51,335 --> 01:12:54,168
There is no catch, Nkem.
921
01:12:54,335 --> 01:12:57,126
It's the way mom
He says he's sorry.
922
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:23,960
We are ready to
Let's go, Odenigbo,
923
01:13:24,126 --> 01:13:26,751
and your mother has refused
pack your things and come.
924
01:13:26,918 --> 01:13:29,418
“Mom”? I thought that
We had agreed to go to Uke.
925
01:13:29,585 --> 01:13:33,960
Don't say that! you told me
that we had to flee.
926
01:13:34,126 --> 01:13:36,501
It's better that he went to Uke.
927
01:13:36,668 --> 01:13:38,710
But, did you hear me
did you agree?
928
01:13:38,876 --> 01:13:40,918
Did I tell you so?
929
01:13:41,085 --> 01:13:42,585
Do you want to come with us
to Umuahia then?
930
01:13:42,751 --> 01:13:45,501
Why are we running away?
Where do we flee to?
931
01:13:45,668 --> 01:13:47,251
Do you hear any weapons?
932
01:13:47,876 --> 01:13:50,300
Mom, people are
fleeing to Abagana and Ukpo,
933
01:13:50,301 --> 01:13:51,335
that means that
Hausa soldiers
934
01:13:51,477 --> 01:13:52,477
They are close and
They will soon enter Abba.
935
01:13:52,501 --> 01:13:55,210
Who am I to
run away from my own home?
936
01:13:55,376 --> 01:13:58,335
You know that your father
Is he cursing us now?
937
01:13:58,501 --> 01:14:02,335
Mom, if we stay
here, there will be no one left in Abba.
938
01:14:02,501 --> 01:14:06,251
You knew this is not good.
The house will remain closed.
939
01:14:06,418 --> 01:14:10,210
I'm going to Uke. Notify
when they reach Umuahia.
940
01:14:13,710 --> 01:14:15,751
Go, go and pack your things.
941
01:14:15,918 --> 01:14:19,585
I will wait and take care of the house.
942
01:14:19,751 --> 01:14:24,668
After everyone has
fled, they will return. I will be here.
943
01:14:24,835 --> 01:14:28,335
Mom, you allow us.
Please come with us.
944
01:14:31,210 --> 01:14:34,960
Give me the keys to your house.
I might need things from there.
945
01:14:35,126 --> 01:14:38,543
Come with us, mom.
You will miss the wedding.
946
01:14:41,585 --> 01:14:44,710
Give me the key, this is my house.
947
01:14:58,918 --> 01:15:00,126
Mom...
948
01:15:02,085 --> 01:15:03,876
Come with us.
949
01:15:05,293 --> 01:15:07,710
Please come with
us, mom.
950
01:15:47,293 --> 01:15:50,043
Seven weeks ago
Colonel Ojukwu was at the end
951
01:15:50,210 --> 01:15:52,251
of an action of the
federal police to avoid
952
01:15:52,418 --> 01:15:53,710
his push of the
ancient eastern region
953
01:15:53,876 --> 01:15:55,168
of the Federation.
954
01:15:55,335 --> 01:15:57,295
Now, it is a
large-scale civil war.
955
01:15:58,835 --> 01:16:02,043
Where is the baby? �No
He's out to play, right?
956
01:16:02,210 --> 01:16:05,085
I don't want it to be
dirty the dress.
957
01:16:05,251 --> 01:16:07,210
It's in the room.
958
01:16:09,543 --> 01:16:12,835
I sent a message to
Port Harcourt to Kainene.
959
01:16:13,001 --> 01:16:16,418
She won't come.
I just want you to know.
960
01:16:16,585 --> 01:16:18,376
It's still very big.
961
01:16:23,251 --> 01:16:26,960
- Olanna, are you ready?
- Yes, I am. Please come in.
962
01:16:27,126 --> 01:16:29,293
Did you bring the flowers?
963
01:16:29,460 --> 01:16:30,960
What is this?
964
01:16:32,335 --> 01:16:34,460
I wanted fresh flowers, Okeoma.
965
01:16:34,626 --> 01:16:37,751
Nobody plants flowers in Umuahia. The
People plant what they can eat.
966
01:16:37,918 --> 01:16:39,876
I won't hold flowers then.
967
01:17:30,668 --> 01:17:33,043
Did I catch you dancing?
968
01:17:53,168 --> 01:17:55,876
Long live Biafra!
969
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:09,876
The cake.
970
01:18:15,751 --> 01:18:17,710
Come with me.
971
01:18:21,626 --> 01:18:23,585
What's wrong with you?
972
01:18:28,293 --> 01:18:30,293
Come on, eat.
973
01:18:30,460 --> 01:18:34,210
Everyone, I want you together.
Well, we do it in one, two...
974
01:19:01,460 --> 01:19:03,293
Okeoma! Okeoma!
975
01:19:06,501 --> 01:19:08,126
No!
976
01:19:11,085 --> 01:19:12,335
No!
977
01:19:12,501 --> 01:19:14,501
"Mom"!
978
01:19:27,210 --> 01:19:30,335
Enunciate. Ike, say it.
979
01:19:31,293 --> 01:19:32,626
Setru.
980
01:19:32,793 --> 01:19:34,793
"Set-tle."
981
01:19:35,710 --> 01:19:39,751
"Set-tle."
The word does not have an "R."
982
01:19:39,918 --> 01:19:42,001
Well, let's try...
983
01:19:42,710 --> 01:19:44,585
- B of?
- Ball
984
01:19:44,751 --> 01:19:46,626
- What about?
- Cat
985
01:19:46,793 --> 01:19:48,418
- D of?
- Dog
986
01:19:48,585 --> 01:19:50,293
- What about?
- Egg
987
01:19:50,460 --> 01:19:52,001
- F for?
- Feet
988
01:19:52,168 --> 01:19:53,876
- G for?
- Good
989
01:19:54,043 --> 01:19:55,626
- H of?
- House
990
01:19:55,793 --> 01:19:59,626
�It is impossible Odenigbo,
You can't go back to Abba!
991
01:19:59,793 --> 01:20:02,001
I have to bury what
the vultures left behind.
992
01:20:02,168 --> 01:20:04,043
- Sir...
- Yes, yes, yes.
993
01:20:04,210 --> 01:20:07,043
Someone must have buried her.
994
01:20:12,335 --> 01:20:15,085
We have to go tomorrow.
995
01:20:15,086 --> 01:20:17,886
The landlord loves us
because we can't pay the rent.
996
01:20:19,585 --> 01:20:21,585
What will he do?
997
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:33,210
Why are you using the kitchen?
of kerosene? Are you stupid?
998
01:20:33,376 --> 01:20:35,960
"I didn't tell you that
Will you save the kerosene?
999
01:20:36,126 --> 01:20:37,876
But ma'am, you said I should
Cook the girl's food.
1000
01:20:38,043 --> 01:20:41,876
I didn't say that! �Go
outside and light a fire!
1001
01:20:44,543 --> 01:20:46,835
Do you know how much
does kerosene cost?
1002
01:20:48,460 --> 01:20:50,710
Just because you don't pay
for the things you use
1003
01:20:50,876 --> 01:20:54,376
doesn't mean you can
use them however you want!
1004
01:20:54,543 --> 01:20:57,710
Perhaps the firewood itself is not
It's a luxury where you come from?
1005
01:20:57,876 --> 01:20:59,501
I'm sorry, ma'am.
1006
01:21:09,626 --> 01:21:12,210
His mother is dead.
1007
01:21:15,043 --> 01:21:17,043
He was shot in Abba.
1008
01:21:23,085 --> 01:21:25,835
Biafran soldiers
in the controls
1009
01:21:25,836 --> 01:21:28,336
road they asked me
to turn back.
1010
01:21:30,626 --> 01:21:34,751
So I parked the car,
I hid and started walking.
1011
01:21:37,168 --> 01:21:40,751
Finally, a Biafran officer...
1012
01:21:42,585 --> 01:21:44,376
He loaded his gun...
1013
01:21:46,501 --> 01:21:48,876
He told me he would shoot me...
1014
01:21:50,210 --> 01:21:53,918
and would save the vandals
the annoyance if I didn't come back.
1015
01:21:58,168 --> 01:22:00,293
I'm fine, Nkem.
1016
01:22:07,085 --> 01:22:09,043
I'm fine.
1017
01:22:34,751 --> 01:22:36,526
I have heard that there is a lot
free sex here, but
1018
01:22:36,527 --> 01:22:38,127
the girls contracted
some kind of illness.
1019
01:22:38,293 --> 01:22:40,335
The cute disease?
1020
01:22:40,501 --> 01:22:43,668
I guess they have to have
Be careful what you bring home.
1021
01:22:43,835 --> 01:22:46,126
This refugee camp is
managed by my wife.
1022
01:22:46,293 --> 01:22:48,160
Really? How much
How long have you been here?
1023
01:22:48,161 --> 01:22:49,961
She is Biafran.
1024
01:22:50,126 --> 01:22:53,585
- Do you speak Igbo quite well?
- Yes, Kedu.
1025
01:22:57,126 --> 01:22:58,960
There is food in Sao Tom�...
1026
01:22:59,126 --> 01:23:02,793
full of cockroaches because
There is no way to bring it.
1027
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,501
"It would be fine if you
give some letters?
1028
01:23:07,668 --> 01:23:09,835
For the parents of
my wife in London.
1029
01:24:28,335 --> 01:24:30,585
We'll get something better soon.
1030
01:24:50,418 --> 01:24:52,835
- Welcome, No.
- Thank you.
1031
01:24:53,001 --> 01:24:56,668
I live down the hall.
Is your husband not here?
1032
01:24:56,835 --> 01:24:59,085
Stay at work.
1033
01:24:59,251 --> 01:25:01,460
I wanted to see it before
the others do it.
1034
01:25:01,626 --> 01:25:05,751
It's about my children.
Three of them have asthma.
1035
01:25:06,918 --> 01:25:11,293
- Asthma?
- The landlord called him "doctor."
1036
01:25:13,501 --> 01:25:16,876
No, he has a doctorate.
1037
01:25:17,043 --> 01:25:21,751
He is a book doctor, no
a doctor for sick people.
1038
01:25:28,543 --> 01:25:32,335
There is a woman in the
self asking for you.
1039
01:25:44,043 --> 01:25:45,626
Kainene?
1040
01:25:52,710 --> 01:25:56,168
I went to your old house and
Someone told me to come here.
1041
01:25:56,335 --> 01:25:58,293
Our landlord kicked us out.
1042
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:03,543
Come in.
1043
01:26:07,835 --> 01:26:09,376
Sit down.
1044
01:26:20,668 --> 01:26:23,043
So how have you been?
1045
01:26:24,751 --> 01:26:27,376
Things were normal until
that Port Harcourt went down.
1046
01:26:27,543 --> 01:26:29,351
He was a contractor
from the army and had
1047
01:26:29,352 --> 01:26:31,252
license to import
fish broth.
1048
01:26:31,418 --> 01:26:34,918
I'm in Orlu now. I'm in charge
from a refugee camp there.
1049
01:26:38,335 --> 01:26:41,626
You are condemning me in
silence for proliferating war?
1050
01:26:41,793 --> 01:26:43,835
someone has to
export the fish broth.
1051
01:26:44,001 --> 01:26:47,793
No, no, I wasn't thinking that.
1052
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:49,043
Yes you were.
1053
01:26:49,210 --> 01:26:51,960
I was so worried
when Port Harcourt fell.
1054
01:26:53,043 --> 01:26:56,251
- Sent messages.
- Yes, you said you were teaching.
1055
01:26:56,418 --> 01:26:59,751
Are you still doing it? Your noble
effort to win the war?
1056
01:26:59,918 --> 01:27:02,501
The school is a center
of refugees now.
1057
01:27:02,668 --> 01:27:04,793
Sometimes I teach the
children in the yard.
1058
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:07,543
And how is he?
revolutionary husband?
1059
01:27:11,001 --> 01:27:13,043
He is still with the Directorate
of Human Resources.
1060
01:27:15,710 --> 01:27:17,585
You don't have a wedding photo.
1061
01:27:17,751 --> 01:27:21,710
There was an air raid
during the reception, and...
1062
01:27:26,335 --> 01:27:30,376
I came to give you this. Mom sent it to
through a British journalist.
1063
01:27:34,001 --> 01:27:36,960
I also brought two
dresses for the baby.
1064
01:27:37,126 --> 01:27:39,251
A woman who came
back from Sao Tom�
1065
01:27:39,418 --> 01:27:41,793
I had good clothes
of children for sale.
1066
01:27:44,085 --> 01:27:48,418
- Did you bring clothes for the girl?
- A surprise without a doubt.
1067
01:27:48,585 --> 01:27:51,376
It's time for the girl to start
to be called Chiamaka.
1068
01:27:51,543 --> 01:27:54,585
This matter of
babies is tedious.
1069
01:27:59,876 --> 01:28:01,956
Are you going to drink some water?
That's all we have.
1070
01:28:02,085 --> 01:28:04,085
No, no, I'm fine.
1071
01:28:07,918 --> 01:28:09,418
Yes, please.
1072
01:28:10,668 --> 01:28:12,501
I would love to.
1073
01:28:28,168 --> 01:28:30,335
I thought about changing
the money for you.
1074
01:28:30,501 --> 01:28:32,960
But you can do it in
bank and then deposit, right?
1075
01:28:33,126 --> 01:28:35,606
You haven't seen all the craters
of bombs around the bank?
1076
01:28:35,751 --> 01:28:37,901
my money stays
under the bed.
1077
01:28:37,902 --> 01:28:40,002
Make sure the
Cockroaches don't grab it.
1078
01:28:40,168 --> 01:28:42,168
Life is more difficult
for them these days.
1079
01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:45,918
I will go on Wednesday.
1080
01:28:46,085 --> 01:28:49,335
- Are you going to drive?
- No. Look, it's not very far.
1081
01:28:51,085 --> 01:28:53,418
Say hello to the revolutionary for me.
1082
01:29:18,460 --> 01:29:22,335
Madam.
Do I bring drinks?
1083
01:29:22,501 --> 01:29:25,043
The way he talks, you'd think
we have a large warehouse
1084
01:29:25,210 --> 01:29:27,501
in this half built house
in the middle of nowhere.
1085
01:29:27,668 --> 01:29:30,335
- Madam?
- No, Harrison, don't bring drinks.
1086
01:29:30,501 --> 01:29:33,210
We're leaving now.
Remember, food for three.
1087
01:29:33,376 --> 01:29:34,543
Yes, ma'am.
1088
01:29:37,793 --> 01:29:42,543
Harrison is the farmer
most pretentious I've ever seen.
1089
01:29:42,710 --> 01:29:44,660
I know you don't like it
the word peasant
1090
01:29:44,661 --> 01:29:45,961
No.
1091
01:29:46,126 --> 01:29:49,210
- But he is, you know.
- We are all farmers!
1092
01:29:49,376 --> 01:29:52,960
Are we? It is the type of
things Richard would say.
1093
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:56,960
Odenigbo too.
1094
01:29:58,876 --> 01:30:00,626
Grandpa used to
say about the
1095
01:30:00,627 --> 01:30:02,127
difficult things that
had to happen:
1096
01:30:02,293 --> 01:30:06,043
"He didn't kill me, he
made me wiser."
1097
01:30:06,210 --> 01:30:07,960
I remember.
1098
01:30:09,918 --> 01:30:13,960
There are some things
They are so unforgettable...
1099
01:30:15,501 --> 01:30:18,751
that do other things
easily forgettable.
1100
01:30:27,251 --> 01:30:31,210
Exactly at 1:30, everyone
The days come over the city
1101
01:30:31,376 --> 01:30:33,085
because the market is full,
1102
01:30:33,251 --> 01:30:34,710
and the patients are sitting
1103
01:30:34,876 --> 01:30:36,501
on the grass
in hospitals.
1104
01:30:36,668 --> 01:30:38,168
Here comes the next one.
1105
01:30:38,335 --> 01:30:40,010
It is flying to the other
side of the Church
1106
01:30:40,011 --> 01:30:41,711
of the Mission.
Sweeping to the right.
1107
01:30:41,876 --> 01:30:43,556
Machine gunning the ground
as they progress.
1108
01:30:43,710 --> 01:30:46,418
Dropping incendiary bombs
and fragmentation bombs
1109
01:30:46,585 --> 01:30:48,793
in the squares of
market around here.
1110
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:53,668
We are sure to win the
war. We are safe, safe...
1111
01:30:53,835 --> 01:30:55,751
The war was going quite badly.
1112
01:30:55,918 --> 01:30:57,610
In his desperation,
Ojukwu mobilized
1113
01:30:57,611 --> 01:30:59,211
The Brigade of the
country boys
1114
01:30:59,376 --> 01:31:00,810
to raise morale
by showing a
1115
01:31:00,811 --> 01:31:02,291
new generation that
I was training
1116
01:31:02,376 --> 01:31:04,460
to take his place
on the front line.
1117
01:31:04,626 --> 01:31:07,085
�Fight, brave ones
Boys, fight!
1118
01:31:07,251 --> 01:31:08,876
Heroes of our country.
1119
01:31:09,043 --> 01:31:13,126
Pursue the enemy, harass him,
Destroy the invader.
1120
01:31:13,293 --> 01:31:16,751
March, brave boys,
now that victory is in sight.
1121
01:31:16,918 --> 01:31:19,293
You! "Stand there!"
"Stand there!"
1122
01:31:22,626 --> 01:31:27,043
Get off, get off, damn civilian!
1123
01:31:28,168 --> 01:31:30,585
Join them there.
Join them there.
1124
01:31:30,751 --> 01:31:32,335
Inside the truck!
1125
01:31:55,918 --> 01:32:00,001
My sister, have
calm down, be strong.
1126
01:32:01,918 --> 01:32:03,585
Ugwu is dead.
1127
01:32:04,710 --> 01:32:09,793
Ugwu was with the engineers
field and suffered massive casualties.
1128
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,251
Only a few returned.
1129
01:32:13,293 --> 01:32:16,501
Come with me.
Bring Chiamaka.
1130
01:32:16,668 --> 01:32:19,043
Come and stay
in Orlu. Olanna!
1131
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:24,960
Have you had enough to drink?
1132
01:32:25,126 --> 01:32:27,460
Ugwu is dead.
1133
01:32:27,626 --> 01:32:31,418
Do you hear me?
Ugwu is dead.
1134
01:32:31,585 --> 01:32:34,210
"Drink and don't
stop! Baby!
1135
01:32:34,376 --> 01:32:36,918
Ugwu is dead!
1136
01:33:04,710 --> 01:33:07,918
Look for the boxes.
Leave the clothes.
1137
01:33:09,918 --> 01:33:11,335
Baby.
1138
01:33:11,876 --> 01:33:14,293
- Odenigbo.
- We'll take this one. It's okay.
1139
01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:43,293
Odenigbo!
1140
01:33:53,251 --> 01:33:56,085
Start walking! I
I can reach it when I start the car.
1141
01:33:56,251 --> 01:33:58,335
�If we are going to walk,
we will walk together!
1142
01:34:38,501 --> 01:34:42,085
Enough! stop now
same. Leave him alone.
1143
01:34:42,251 --> 01:34:44,126
Leave him alone!
1144
01:34:45,918 --> 01:34:49,251
- He's a thief!
- He's not a thief. Do you hear me?
1145
01:34:49,418 --> 01:34:53,376
He's not a thief! It is
a hungry soldier.
1146
01:34:56,668 --> 01:34:58,668
Did you come from the front?
1147
01:35:02,001 --> 01:35:05,043
Are you escaping?
Have you deserted?
1148
01:35:07,126 --> 01:35:10,918
Come. Come and eat
somegarri before you go.
1149
01:35:15,751 --> 01:35:18,418
We will be here until
Let's find a place to rent.
1150
01:35:19,501 --> 01:35:23,168
Harrison, bring some more
palm oil for Chiamaka.
1151
01:35:24,335 --> 01:35:27,835
What an interesting beard.
Are you trying to copy His Excellency?
1152
01:35:28,001 --> 01:35:29,793
I never try to copy anyone.
1153
01:35:30,418 --> 01:35:35,126
Clear. I forgot how
original you are.
1154
01:35:36,585 --> 01:35:40,751
Harrison gave us a fantastic
field rat last week.
1155
01:35:40,918 --> 01:35:43,251
But one would think that
it was rack of lamb
1156
01:35:43,418 --> 01:35:45,543
because of the way
that spoke about her.
1157
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:53,735
Cities and
border areas
1158
01:35:53,736 --> 01:35:55,336
that have been captured
for betrayal.
1159
01:35:55,501 --> 01:35:58,376
Our people are determined
to fight until the last man,
1160
01:35:58,543 --> 01:36:01,168
confident in the final success.
1161
01:36:01,335 --> 01:36:04,043
May God bless you all,
Biafran compatriots,
1162
01:36:04,210 --> 01:36:07,960
guard and protect Biafra.
1163
01:36:08,126 --> 01:36:10,585
A convertible would be great.
1164
01:36:13,293 --> 01:36:15,210
With what do you think
accounts for success
1165
01:36:15,376 --> 01:36:18,460
of man's mission
white in Africa, Richard?
1166
01:36:19,793 --> 01:36:21,293
The success?
1167
01:36:21,460 --> 01:36:24,293
Yes, success.
I think in English.
1168
01:36:24,460 --> 01:36:27,710
Maybe you should first tell
with the failure of the black man
1169
01:36:27,876 --> 01:36:30,085
for stopping the mission
of the white man.
1170
01:36:31,626 --> 01:36:34,376
Who brought the
racism to the world?
1171
01:36:36,126 --> 01:36:37,918
I don't understand your point.
1172
01:36:38,085 --> 01:36:40,668
The white man brought
racism to the world.
1173
01:36:40,835 --> 01:36:43,960
He used it as
basis of conquest.
1174
01:36:44,126 --> 01:36:47,460
It's always easier to
conquer a more humane people.
1175
01:36:47,626 --> 01:36:49,910
So when
let's conquer the
1176
01:36:49,911 --> 01:36:52,711
Nigerians, let's
be less human?
1177
01:36:56,043 --> 01:36:57,710
I have some
Nigerian coins.
1178
01:36:57,876 --> 01:37:00,293
I want to go to the Ninth Mile
and see what I can buy.
1179
01:37:00,460 --> 01:37:02,960
If that goes well,
I will sell some
1180
01:37:02,961 --> 01:37:04,961
of the things that
our people have done.
1181
01:37:05,126 --> 01:37:07,001
That is trading with the enemy.
1182
01:37:07,168 --> 01:37:08,451
It is to trade with
nigerian women
1183
01:37:08,452 --> 01:37:09,752
illiterate people who have
what we need.
1184
01:37:09,918 --> 01:37:12,001
It's dangerous, Kainene.
1185
01:37:12,168 --> 01:37:14,960
That sector is free. Our people
is trading freely there.
1186
01:37:15,126 --> 01:37:17,626
- Will you go too?
- No.
1187
01:37:17,793 --> 01:37:21,751
At least not tomorrow. Maybe the
Next time Kainene goes.
1188
01:37:21,918 --> 01:37:25,293
- Tomorrow?
- Yes, Kainene is going tomorrow.
1189
01:37:25,460 --> 01:37:27,085
Yes.
1190
01:37:27,251 --> 01:37:31,001
But don't worry Olanna.
She will never come with me.
1191
01:37:31,168 --> 01:37:32,818
She has always
been terribly
1192
01:37:32,819 --> 01:37:34,419
scared of freedom
honest company.
1193
01:37:34,585 --> 01:37:38,501
The road to the Ninth Mile
has been occupied at intervals.
1194
01:37:40,543 --> 01:37:43,376
- I don't think you should go.
- Everything is decided.
1195
01:37:43,543 --> 01:37:46,835
I'm leaving tomorrow morning,
and will be back in the afternoon.
1196
01:37:47,001 --> 01:37:49,251
We need to eat.
1197
01:37:59,251 --> 01:38:00,910
You're going to leave early,
Isn't that right, Richard?
1198
01:38:00,911 --> 01:38:02,711
Those great men in Ahiara
1199
01:38:02,876 --> 01:38:06,043
- They can be in the office within 30 minutes.
- I'll leave in an hour.
1200
01:38:06,210 --> 01:38:09,001
Just tell them I'm dying
and we desperately need
1201
01:38:09,168 --> 01:38:12,126
milk and canned meat for
keep me alive.
1202
01:38:12,293 --> 01:38:13,793
I will do it.
1203
01:38:15,710 --> 01:38:17,335
May it go well for you.
1204
01:38:28,460 --> 01:38:29,876
Uncle Richard!
1205
01:38:30,376 --> 01:38:32,626
Uncle Richard, kill me!
1206
01:38:32,793 --> 01:38:34,485
you are a girl
big now, baby.
1207
01:38:34,486 --> 01:38:36,086
you are too much
heavy to carry you.
1208
01:38:36,251 --> 01:38:38,385
The girl has grown up in
the mind but it has not
1209
01:38:38,386 --> 01:38:40,586
grown in size since
that the war started.
1210
01:38:40,751 --> 01:38:43,043
Wisdom is better
than the height.
1211
01:38:44,418 --> 01:38:46,876
- No luck in Ahiara?
- No, I tried everything.
1212
01:38:47,043 --> 01:38:50,543
The help centers are empty.
Is Kainene at camp?
1213
01:38:50,710 --> 01:38:53,335
He hasn't returned yet
of the Ninth Mile.
1214
01:39:04,418 --> 01:39:07,126
- Is Kainene back yet?
- Not yet.
1215
01:39:40,793 --> 01:39:42,460
Excuse me?
1216
01:39:45,626 --> 01:39:48,960
- Have you seen this woman?
- No.
1217
01:39:55,543 --> 01:39:57,876
Hello. Have you seen
to this woman?
1218
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:00,293
Thank you.
1219
01:40:15,626 --> 01:40:17,710
Why are you crying?
1220
01:40:17,876 --> 01:40:21,668
Kainene has only been trapped
on the other side for a few days.
1221
01:40:26,793 --> 01:40:28,793
Stop! Stop!
1222
01:41:09,751 --> 01:41:12,876
According to my own
frequent statements
1223
01:41:13,043 --> 01:41:16,335
that I personally
I would go anywhere
1224
01:41:16,501 --> 01:41:19,418
to ensure peace and
security for my people...
1225
01:41:21,460 --> 01:41:23,918
Now I'm traveling
outside Biafra
1226
01:41:23,919 --> 01:41:25,919
to explore with
our friends
1227
01:41:26,085 --> 01:41:29,043
all those
proposals in full.
1228
01:41:29,210 --> 01:41:30,543
Yes?
1229
01:41:32,335 --> 01:41:35,001
That's right. Thank you.
1230
01:41:41,293 --> 01:41:43,251
Is it Kainene?
1231
01:41:44,543 --> 01:41:46,960
Did something happen?
1232
01:41:47,126 --> 01:41:49,585
- Ugwu is alive.
- God.
1233
01:41:53,335 --> 01:41:55,043
God!
1234
01:42:20,876 --> 01:42:22,668
"They said he was
dead, ma'am?
1235
01:42:22,835 --> 01:42:25,918
Your battalion thought you had
died during the operation.
1236
01:42:29,751 --> 01:42:31,751
Where is Aunt Kainene?
1237
01:42:36,460 --> 01:42:40,251
General Ojukwu, who led
the cessation of Biafra in Nigeria,
1238
01:42:40,418 --> 01:42:43,501
is on his way to search
political asylum in Ivory Coast.
1239
01:42:43,668 --> 01:42:46,460
It is said that he brings with him
3,000 pounds of luggage
1240
01:42:46,626 --> 01:42:48,376
and his Mercedes Benz car.
1241
01:42:48,543 --> 01:42:53,501
I, Major General Philip Effiong,
1242
01:42:53,668 --> 01:42:55,585
official of the
administration of the
1243
01:42:55,586 --> 01:42:57,586
government of the
Republic of Biafra,
1244
01:42:57,751 --> 01:43:00,210
now I want to do the
next statement...
1245
01:43:04,376 --> 01:43:06,293
- Did they find her?
- No.
1246
01:43:06,460 --> 01:43:09,085
Where is the car?
Did the soldiers take it?
1247
01:43:09,251 --> 01:43:11,160
The
gasoline on the road.
1248
01:43:11,161 --> 01:43:12,961
Look for gasoline
and will return for him.
1249
01:43:13,126 --> 01:43:17,168
�Thank God! �The war
I'm done! �Peace is here!
1250
01:43:25,460 --> 01:43:28,751
We are citizens
loyal Nigerians
1251
01:43:28,918 --> 01:43:31,710
and we accept that
the Republic of Biafra
1252
01:43:31,711 --> 01:43:34,711
hereby ceases to exist.
1253
01:43:51,168 --> 01:43:55,585
I'm going to look for Kainene in the
towns outside the Ninth Mile.
1254
01:43:55,751 --> 01:43:59,335
Wait until tomorrow,
Richard. Do you have fuel?
1255
01:43:59,501 --> 01:44:03,418
Enough to reach the
Ninth Mile if I go down the slopes.
1256
01:45:09,001 --> 01:45:10,751
Kainene...
1257
01:45:22,168 --> 01:45:24,835
Excuse me, have you seen
to this woman?
1258
01:45:26,085 --> 01:45:28,751
- Her name is Kainene.
- No, I haven't seen it.
1259
01:45:55,751 --> 01:45:58,460
Will Aunt Kainene come to Nsukka?
1260
01:45:58,626 --> 01:46:02,126
Yes. Yes, my girl.
1261
01:46:39,127 --> 01:46:42,927
Kainene is still lost.
1262
01:46:44,828 --> 01:46:49,928
Richard moved to
Nsukka. He still lives there.
1263
01:46:52,129 --> 01:46:57,929
Olanna and Odenigbo have been
together for almost 50 years.
1264
01:46:59,830 --> 01:47:03,930
Ugwu is now a writer.
1265
01:47:05,801 --> 01:47:09,931
Chiamaka (aka Baby)
Now she is a doctor.
