[indistinct talk]

Put your phone in your pocket!

Get out! Go outside!

- What did we do? - What did you not do?

Look at what you're wearing!

- It's covered! - You call this see-through cloth, covered?

I can see everything you've got there!

You're so exposing something that's meant for your future husband!

You, a man, look at what you're wearing!

Look at tattoo all over, all over your body!

That's not happening in my father's house!

Please, go, go, go!

- This is a church... - Come on, leave please!

(praise and worship continues)

I think, for the harvest,

we cannot contribute money alone.

- I think people should bring food. - Yes.

Do you understand?

It's like sowing into the house of God.

Oh, my God!

If talking is what is used to pay tithes, you see that woman there?

That woman, that woman, that's your mother, that my wife,

would be the richest person in this parish!

This is the seventh person she's holding hostage after service!

What the heck!

Woman, go and call this woman, and let us leave here!

It is good.

That's what I think... my daughter.

What happened?

Come on, mom let's go! This is the sixth person you're talking to!

So, is that why you all stand there like someone died?

Okay, where is Chuka?

- He has gone home. - He has gone home?

- Yes. - The house' key is with me.

Yes, he said he would wait by the the gate.

I see.

He's tired of waiting. Okay, take this.

Help me... Okay, so I think that's okay.

- Ah, come, come, come, Ife. - Good afternoon, ma.

- How are you? - I'm fine, ma.

- Where is your mother? - She's inside the church.

What...

Stick out your tongue.

Ah!

Where is your mother?

She's inside the church.

Wait, when last did you have your menstrual period?

You know, you are pregnant!

Don't you live with your mother?

Ah, you are pregnant!

My husband...

- My husband, the girl is pregnant... - Excuse me, I'm not interested, please!

(laughing)

Will you like it?

How far? How is your family?

Come on, stop that.

Untill you visit my house.

(Laughing)

What you're doing, really...

- Come on, what's all that? - You're such a bad person!

What? Why are you knocking like that?

- So, I cannot, I cannot do...

I cannot, I cannot wait in church for my people?

Wait for what?

- Where are your papers?

- Why won't I wait? - For what?

- Your papers, please?

- So, I will not wait for... - Shut up, okay!

Peter, Peter...

Let's just assume that...

I cannot do, you are not a husband material!

-Are you a wife material? -Shut up!

- Are you a wife material? - Hello, sir!

- Hello! - I wouldn't have married...

- Will you shut up there! - Shut up!

- Hello sir!

- Shut up! - You dare tell me to shut up?

- Someone is talking to you... - You can hear that!

What is going on? Excuse me, sir!

- Okay. - Why are you treating a woman like this?

Why are you shouting on her?

Excuse me, sir...

- Please, how's this your business? - Aha!

- Madam... - How is it your business?

But I was trying to support you.

- Did I ask for your support? - Did she ask you?

My problem is this, if anything happens to you here,

- Now... - Yes?

That means your mind will not be at rest!

Your mind will not be at rest too!

You, is your mind at rest right now?

- What I'm saying is this... - You're just here disturbing the woman...

- I'm saying you will not have peace... - We also say you will not have peace!

- Your mind will not be at rest... - It's your mind that will not be at rest!

- If anything happens to you... - Something must happen to you!

- What is wrong with you? - What's your business with us?

- Just because you're looking at a woman! - He's my husband!

A woman! This is a woman that has four children!

Four children, okay!

I know, I know your type. You like married women!

Not this one!

- She's your wife, right? - She's my wife.

- What do you mean! - That is it.

- Okay now, sorry... - Let's go.

- Okay, have a nice day... - Hello! Hold on!

Back to my work...

I need your driver's license.

-I need your particulars. -Babe,

-give him the driver's license, and let's go! -I need the gear of this car!

I need the extra Tyre of this car, and I need the extra boot!

Oh sorry, I need what, what is inside the boot!

I want to see what is inside the boot!

Where's your manners? Where's your manners?

Because you're acting senseless!

-You're quite senseless... -My dear...

You've got no brain at all.

- My manners is here. - I see.

Yes. Where is your driver's license?

Give him driver's license, and let's go!

You're just saying rubbish. I don't know what's wrong with you.

Oh...

Sorry, you're wasting my time!

Please, where's your driver's license?

Hello? Hello sir?

Okay erm, the thing is, handsome man...

You're a good man, so relax.

Erm, the... the driver's license is not here, okay.

- Erm, so, we know how this things work... - It's in the other car.

- It's in the other car. - Oh, I'm sorry...

- Driver's license is not here? - Yes, it is in the other car

- It's in the other car. - And the other car is at home.

What about the particulars of this car?

- Well, that one is... - It's not here too.

- It's not here, too.

Come down!

Yes, that means this car is a stolen vehicle!

I say, come down!

-Excuse me, what do you mean by that? -It's a stolen vehicle!

No, no, no, no, I will not take that!

- No, no, no. - I will not take that!

-No... -I will not take that.

Don't say that again!

For God's sake, please!

You dare insult me?

Thunder will strike you, dead!

- Thunder will strike you dead! - You are mad! You are mad!

- You're insulting me! - Is something wrong with your head?

- The god of thunder will strike you down! - No, no, no...

It's okay, my dear...

Move back!

-Move back! -You cannot order my wife around like that!

- I don't want... - This is a woman who gave me children!

Look at the children here.

No, no, no, no, don't talk to my wife like that!

-I don't want to meddle in your family business... -Is she your junior officer?

Where is your driver's license? Simple!

You don't have it!

-You can't talk to our mom like that... -Who called you here?

Damn!

- Who asked you to come here? - Who called you?

(rowdy chatter)

Look at them looking like...

This is a family, right?

- That one that is... - Come on, get in the car!

This is a family, right?

Erm...

Really?

Let's have a conversation.

Stop behaving like your mother's people, come on!

- Are you, are you okay? - Yes.

- Are you alright? - Why would you ask if she's okay?

- No, I'm just... - How could you ask if she's okay?

No, no, no, no, I can't take that!

If the sun is heating sense out of your head, don't tell my wife that she isn't okay!

-Don't you dare try it! -You know my senses is here.

-You and your wife's senses... -Why would you ask if she's okay?

Hello! Hello!

You don't have your driver's license here!

You don't have your particulars here!

Your gear is not here!

You don't have anything here!

Then, let's go to the office!

- What's going on? - Segun?

- Come on, calm down. Calm down. - Segun!

- Calm down... - Come tow this black dog!

-Come tow this black dog away! -You're calling my vehicle a black dog?

We are going to the office. Let's go!

Come down, come down...

You're telling them to come down? For what?

Come tow this black dog of a vehicle!

You, you, you,

Yes, I mean you.

I said it.

Your mind will not be at rest!

You will not have peace!

(singing)

What is going on? I don't, I don't understand!

Every time, you simply do things your own way!

I don't understand. Now, look at what you've caused!

Just look at what you have caused!

- Am I the one that took your car? - Are you, are you the...

You are the one that caused everything!

- How? - I'm telling you,

I'm really running out of patience with this your attitude!

It's getting too much, and I'm warning you!

I'm really warning you!

But why didn't you have your driver's license?

Why did you force me to leave, to leave church by that time?

Is your driver's license not supposed to be in the car?

It was in the car I was supposed to drive, first!

You now forced me to drive the other car!

That's why this nonsense happened!

But, tell me, why do you talk so much?

-Who talks too much? -Mom, dad!

It's okay. You know we're just coming back from church!

- At least, let the Holy Ghost sit right... - Shut up!

Uh-uh, are you okay?

Is something wrong with you?

Your dad and I are talking, and you dare meddle?

What gave you the gut to join in?

The fact that I'm correcting your dad because of his bad behavior,

- does that mean you should jump in? - The fact that I'm correcting your mother,

is because of her shouting behavior and self-righteous attitude!

Okay, what, what did I do wrong to warrant this lousiness?

What haven't you been doing wrong?

Am I the... how much is the money you are talking about?

Give it to me!

- Give me the money! - I should give you?

- Give me the money! - See, go out, go upstairs, go and change.

Go and call your sister. You people should change.

-Let's go to the kitchen and cook for your daddy. -I'm not eating anything...

- [yells] Aderonke! - There you go!

There you go!

[still yelling] Temitope!

- Come on! - There you go!

So because, you, you cannot go and get them from the room?

That's right!

- You see? - What kind of a dirty attitude is that?

Did I teach you that?

This is the family inheritance your daughter inherited from you!

She has your shouting DNA!

Go on! Always shouting in this house!

Even I, the quiet and calm one,

- You bring out the animal in me every time! - It's okay.

If I talk, you start shouting 'he has killed me!'

-I've never seen a man who nags this much! -Whatever!

-isn't this a wrong choice of a husband? -Whatever!

Here, help take it upstairs. I don't want to go up there now.

And tell me what you want to eat.

I'm sorry, okay.

[hiss]

Ofensala...

You cannot eat Ofensala, there ewedu at home!

- Eat Ewedu and Gbegiri... - I want Ofensala, not Ewedu.

- So you don't want amala? - I don't.

- You don't want? - I don't want.

Chuka, don't talk to me like that.

I'm telling you what they told me.

Ada, I already told you that's not what I said.

- Listen carefully now. - Okay, so now you think I don't listen.

Every time it's like you're always being condescending with me.

- I'm just trying to help you, but you... - Are you even hearing me at all?

I already told you I did it. Check your records!

Oh, so now it's my fault that the system didn't update.

Why do you always twist things?

Ada, I beg you, don't provoke me today! Please!

Look at the way you're shouting again.

This is exactly why I said you need to control yourself.

This, this is the problem I have with you.

Your anger, this anger, you get angry too easily, too much.

That, that's because you're the only one I talk to.

And what do you mean by I get angry a lot?

Anyway, you wouldn't understand.

Hey guys, how's it going?

- Sorry for keeping you waiting. - No problem.

You're taking good care of yourself, really.

Well, I do try.

I didn't see you with your car.

Yes, my car was impounded by traffic officials.

- They seized your car? - Yes.

For what?

For driver's license.

- Driving license? - Exactly.

Come on! You, of all people, without a driving license?

- No, no, no, see, I have driver's license. - You do?

Yes, I do, but my wife is the issue.

When we wanted to go to church, she said the car I was about using wouldn't work,

-so I forgot my driver's license in that car. -Imagine that.

That's what happened.

-Women and their problem! -That's women for you.

Anyway, to be honest, they said I was over-speeding.

- Over-speeding? - Yes, yes.

- Why wouldn't you over-speed. - What do you mean? What do you mean?

- Why won't you over-speed. - What do you mean?

But you've got to speed things up, really.

-So I'm over-speeding in business... -Absolutely!

[teasing each other]

- That thing I told you about. - Yes?

I need it.

I see.

- I'm leading you to the promised land. - That's what I want...

- I know... - That is the one I want...

You understand what I'm saying.

No problem.

-Even your small girl is planning introduction. -Really?

- Yes, we are planning her introduction. - Which of the girls is...

Nneka.

- Nneka... - Yes, Nneka.

- That small Nneka? - Nneka is now a big girl!

- Wonderful. - She's a madam. What are you talking about?

- That small girl... - No, not at all.

Nneka is a madam.

-Such a small world -Yes, it is.

You need to tell the club members.

-Of course, I've got to tell the club members. -Let them know so they can organize...

[friendly salute]

- Well done, bro. - Have a seat.

- Wow! - Yes.

- Money is good... - You get what I'm saying.

Aderonke?

Aderonke?

Aderonke?

Mom, mommy...

♪ Jehovah is the king ♪

- ♪ Jehovah is the king ♪ - Aderonke?

Mommy, just one minute. ♪ Jehovah is the king ♪

♪ Jehovah is the king ♪

♪ Oh king ♪

♪ Mighty warrior ♪ Mommy...

I've been knocking, calling your name. What are you doing?

I'm praying, mommy.

Oh, you are praying.

That's good. But next time, when you are praying,

and someone is calling you, or knocking at your door, you will clap.

- You clap. - Okay.

- There's nobody bigger than God, my dear. - Okay, mommy.

- Then, you should pray very well.

You should also pray for us. You know you'll be 25 soon.

Okay, get on with it.

God will answer your prayer.

♪ Jehovah is the king ♪

Erm, Aderonke...

- (clapping) - Oh, she has started praying again.

I wonder where Temitope is.

To-pe...

Oluwaseyifunmi...

Ma?

Your sister, Temitope, she's not in her room. Where has she gone?

Well, she said she was going for, bible...

I understand.

- It's teen youth bible study. - Okay.

- Okay, you can continue. - Yes ma.

[street vibes on]

Come on, move back!

What's the problem?

I hope you guys are okay!

A smack at your chest, and everything there will disappear!

- You wouldn't try that! - Step aside, this isn't a friendly visit!

Hey, there's no need for the noise, we want to go in.

(chaotic chatter)

-Come on, calm down! -You better watch it!

Who's this guy? Who are you showing off to like a maniac?

Step aside, we're going in!

The way you're playing with a gun, we wouldn't know who to target for a kill!

We need to separate a bastard from legitimate children okay!

If no one is cautioning you, better caution yourself!

You are asked for money, you bring out a

gun! Are you aiming to kill your benefactor?

What a pity for his benefactor!

You come dressing like a cowboy because of us?

Imagine that!

You're pranting like Amtab, the Indian actor!

Those that will kill you won't hold guns!

- Relax. They surely don't know who's here! - Correct!

[street slang continues]

- If you mess up, I'll have you dealt... - [chaotic ranting]

- I'll so deal with you! - Relax bro.

Everybody should calm down, okay.

Bro, don't stress yourself.

Baseje, or whatever you're called...

I've had my eyes on you for a while!

- Baseje... - Who gave birth to this thing?

Baseje, you're definitely going to end up in ruin!

You'll come to no good!

[yelling]

Just get in!

[more yelling]

Akande...

Don't you talk?

You're always by yourself.

Always setting your face like the whole world is against you.

If there's anything bothering you,

speak to me.

I am your mother.

No one should know about it. Not even an outsider, just me.

Chuka...

You are still quiet.

You don't know that...

It's not good to...

conceal issues...

to be quiet, to put pressure on yourself with such a heavy silence?

It's always a burden, and can lead to personal destruction.

Please, open up, speak.

Chuka...

Mommy, do I say sorry to aunty Peace?

Say sorry to who?

Keep quiet and stop poking nose in my family matter, okay!

Yes, ma.

- I thought... - You thought what?

- You thought, what? - [boy crying]

Chuka, listen good! Let this be the first and the last time,

that I will talk, and you will open up your dirty mouth and talk again!

Am I clear?

- [boy crying] - Look at the boy I'm talking to! Get out!

Erm...

- Mom, the... - Hello?

Wait.

- Ah ah, I don't understand.

A 27-year-old boy went to strip clubs?

Chuka, do you go to a strip club?

Never!

Yes, Chuka is with me here!

Is that not, erm, a strip club...

where those girls go about naked?

Where the girls do all sorts without wearing anything?

He went there?

My son? No way! Is that true? Do you go to...

God forbids that!

This one that doesn't even have a girlfriend!

He's always with his Bible and books.

This one, does he even talk!

Someone I'm here, begging to talk!

My son can't even kill a cockroach!

You know what's going to happen?

His mother, remove his mother...

from the ushers' church WhatsApp group, first.

Because, even the bible says, a child would be punished for the father's sin,

So, this time around, the mother will be punished for her son's misdeeds!

You are going to remove the mo...

In fact, make me an administrator, as well.

The boy cannot be in the teen group!

I'm coming.

He can, it's not possible!

What the...

Yes, when the mother is removed, then we do same for the son!

What kind of Sunday school is that?

Even God, my father, will not be pleased with it!

That's why I usually tell parents to teach their children the way of their Lord!

I'm coming. Give me a moment, Chuka.

It's not possible! No, it is not!

He has to leave!

Everyone of them!

Even the father will suffer for it!

Strip club!

Imagine that!

So nothing too big, just in a living room.

- (car honking) - I mean, it's just gonna be my parents.

Who's that?

I think that's my dad.

Not that I think, I know. That's his horn, yep.

- Oh, that's your dad!

Come on, no.

- Are you sure? - It's okay.

It's my mom, you should be afraid of.

Daddy, welcome, sir.

Hey...

Good afternoon, sir.

- Welcome, sir. - Yes, thank you.

- How are you? - Fine, thank you, sir.

That's good. That's good.

But why are you people by the car? What's going on?

- Daddy, you know... - Why are you not in the house?

Daddy, we were inside before. I just...

erm, he's about to leave, so I said, let me see him off.

And you've been here for how many hours now?

Daddy...

Daddy, what?

Let me tell you, there's nothing hidden under the sun.

Myself and your mother had you when we were very young.

So, we know these things.

We know what is going on.

Erm, Mr. Olumide...

Your people are coming in two weeks, right?

Yeah, that's right.

After the introduction, then we have the wedding proper.

Then as a proper landlord, you can hold your tenants' receipts, okay.

Okay?

But since you people wouldn't allow me into my compound...

- No, dad... - No, it's okay. It's all right.

Help me drive my car in,

when you're done with your lovey-dovey play, okay.

Daddy...

I understand these things. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy, enjoy. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

- Help me drive it in. - No problem.

That reminds me...

What happened between...

you and Madam Nkem?

What did she tell you, happened?

Go ahead and talk.

She said you came to her place,

to advise on how to raise her children.

I went to her place.

If you see the skimpy wear...

Mommy, daddy...

Hello.

Hello...

Hello...

Skimpy...

Is that Agbada?

- Is this Agbada that she's wearing? - Shut up.

You're telling me to shut up?

I'm not saying children should not wear skimpy wears.

But they should wear it inside the house.

My children wear it, yes, but I can bet on my life,

In Jesus' name, that my children will not wear such outside the house.

You can never see any of my children with skimpy wears.

That woman isn't training children, but strippers!

- Goodness! - Yes!

See, excuse me, you see this self-righteous attitude of yours,

Please, stop putting your nose in people's businesses, okay!

Please! This woman said she doesn't want to set eyes on you again.

Don't even involve yourself in her children's matter.

Again!

- No problem. - That's it.

- It's fine. I've got no problem with it. - Good.

But, help me inform her,

that when they had a family problem and needed money,

She called to tell me that her husband was ashamed to ask you for a loan.

I spoke to you, and we loaned them the money.

Until they return my money,

Once my money is repaid, then I'll stop meddling in their business,

because I will not accept our hard-earned money being used to train strippers!

Look, I told them to forget about the money.

Yes, because I realized it was for school fees.

That's not a problem.

History will not forget us too.

That means we are part of their children's success.

At least, we paid their school fees.

So, until the money is repaid, I will not stop talking about them!

Come on, stop this thing! It's okay, please!

- Chidi... - Stop meddling with people's businesses!

I'm being serious, you know!

If you see what the girl was wearing,

I don't know where they get all those... it will squeeze up this way!

Her cleavage was all out!

God forbid!

What is meant to be, damn!

Damn, God is really trying!

They say our body is the temple of the Lord,

but she has put the temple on display for the whole world to see!

I've heard you, okay.

Chioma?

Chioma...

- Aderonke? - Daddy.

Mommy.

- Chioma... - Aderonke.

- Chioma? - What? Aderonke.

Chioma, come here.

Aderonke, your dad said you should stand there.

See, I don't understand you!

You see, you're the one that brings out the animal in me!

- What's with all this nonsense now? - What happened, again?

No, no, no, I am Igbo...

I am Igbo!

You understand me? And these children are Igbo children.

But they are Yoruba too, and I'm there mother.

I called her Chioma. What is your problem?

-And I called her Aderonke. I'm from Oyo State! -So what? So what?

Am I not their father? Are they not Igbo?

- What is this nonsense about! - Daddy, daddy, mommy, it's okay.

You people are confusing me!

This thing you people are doing is not fair. You people are confusing me!

Ronke, Chioma, just choose one.

- Pick one. - Chioma.

- Chio... - Ronke.

- Chioma, go and get me palm oil. - Ronke, don't go.

When did you start serving my husband?

- Please, I’ll serve him myself. - Okay.

I'm going upstairs.

Come here.

Come here.

Please, what's the title of this, your short dress?

Dad, it's is Ayrastar

What's that?

Ayrastar, the lady that sang 'look, look what a hot body can do'.

- Which hot body are you talking about? - Daddy!

Which hot body are you talking about?

- My wife? - Yes, my husband?

-She said it is, 'look what a hot body can do!'

Hot body in Christ or in the world?

- It's in this house! In this house! - In this house? I'm coming!

And where are you going to again, my darling?

I just want to quickly go to Admiralty.

Admiralty, or his house?

Okay, fine, I'm going to see Chuka, but I'm not going to his house.

We're gonna go to a restaurant, and then we're gonna go watch a movie at IMAX.

But I thought you said the two of you were fighting.

One minute you're angry at him,

the next you're getting all dressed up for him.

It's looking like you love this boy,

but you keep complaining about his attitude.

Okay, love? Aunty, it's not that deep.

Definitely, not that deep.

Okay.

Just be careful,

and please,

use protection.

First of all,

I'm not doing that yet.

Okay, I'm just 22.

It's okay.

I know you're not ready.

You know,

your mom died when she was...

38.

2 years ago.

- As per, she had me when she was 38. - Hmn-mn.

I'm not my mom,

and I know that you want me to get married.

It will happen when the time is right, but

right now,

it's definitely not the time.

It's okay.

All right, well, have fun.

I will.

Be careful.

I will.

- Don't stay out too late. - I won't.

- Love you. - Love you too.

Mama, what is it? What?

What's with this flashing? I thought I credited your phone yesterday.

My son, forget about that.

We're coming.

We're visiting you.

Coming to where?

Mama, this is a small thing, please!

This boy is bringing his family to introduce to us.

Then I'm sure they will bring, like, maybe one or two people, added.

That's it. It's not yet time for wedding!

I've heard you.

But your father insists he's coming.

He said he cannot miss it.

Your father said he will not miss his grandchild's marriage.

Do you understand?

Okay.

Who are those coming with you?

My son...

I've heard what you said, but Rose is coming.

Aunty Rose?

She's coming too.

Erm, no problem...

I'll get you rooms in a hotel, nearby.

What hotel are you talking about?

God forbid!

What hotel?

Not when my son has a mansion in Lagos.

Not at all. That's where we'll all sleep.

They will have to adjust. Everybody will stay there.

Big house or not...

But these children are here!

They have their rooms. and they've occupied the rooms.

What do you want them to do?

Well, my grandchildren can sleep together.

They can sleep together.

Don't worry, don't worry, okay.

Don't worry yourself.

Don't worry. We're coming.

Okay, I've heard you.

- Okay, bye. - Have a safe journey.

- My regards to dad. - Bye.

It's okay. Bye.

Why?

Come on, my people are coming!

Why are you like this?

- My people are coming! - So what?

What's wrong with you?

What is the problem, exactly?

How's this not a problem?

Don't you know that having your family and mine together here,

will make the house co, co...

[mocking] Co, co, co, conbility, conconbility...

That's not what I wanted to say. It's congested.

Con, con, just to say congested, you're going co, co, co, co like chicken!

What ar tou saying?

If selfishness is Olympic sport, you'll be winning gold medal for Yoruba country!

How do we all fit in here if both families are here at same time?

They can't come here! You know my mother! You know what Toun's mother is like!

What of my own people?

What of my own people? Aren't they human beings?

My people cannot sleep elsewhere aside this place!

She will stay in a hotel. She will stay in a hotel!

- Because of what? - Because of you, of course!

- My family cannot, they will stay here! - Come on! What is it?

What is it? Leave me alone, come on!

What the heck!

Look at this...

- Whatever! It's all back to sender! - Don't worry!

Go and sit down, woman.

Don't worry! I'll have it open!

I'll have it open!

My God battle with those coming against me...

You see what I'm doing, right?

You can see me, right?

Chidi?

What is it, Chuka?

Thank you.

Erm, I'm sorry about the other time.

- You've said that before. - I know.

- We've been here before. - I know, but, but I'm trying.

I need you to work harder.

I'm trying.

Work harder on your anger issues.

Erm, excuse me.

Please, can I get a glass of water?

Don't worry, I can help with that.

Ada...

Oh my God, I'm so sorry!

- Hey... - Sorry, sir.

It's alright.

I'm so sorry, sir. Please, I'm sorry, sir.

Oh, you, you literally poured water all over

my body! I am sorry, sir. I'm sorry, sir.

- I'm so sorry... - [slap]

Go, go, go! Just go! Just go!

- Chuka? - What?

I am so sorry!

Chuka!

Ada please, let's not have her ruin our night, please.

Don't, don't make it about yourself. Just...

I mean, look at what she did.

I'm, I'm wet all over!

Ada, you know what, I'm, I'm sorry.

Don't, don't let her ruin our night.

Let's just, let's just have a peaceful night and enjoy the rest of our night.

I'm sorry.

You don't get it, Chuka. You just... don't get it.

Look, it's not just about how you treat me.

But how you treat everyone else.

Ada, can we just ignore it? Like...

I am sorry, I'm sorry, I'm... Ada I'm sorry.

- Ada... - You're always sorry.

- I can't do this Chuka. - Ada, Please!

- I'm not doing this. - Are where are you going to?

Are you going to allow her to ruin our... Ada?

Ada...

Ada...

Ada, wait.

Ada?

Ada, come on! I'm sorry, Ada.

Please!

Ada!

[Yoruba traditional music]

What is going on here?

No, no, what's going on?

Look, look at your family! Look at the way they came in making so much noise!

What the heck!

What the heck, Yoruba people!

-Can't you caution them?

- Please, caution these people! - Caution them, how?

How do you mean?

What do you mean by caution? They are just happy.

- It's a celebration. - Happy for what?

What are they happy for?

No, no, no you're not a bastard, but your mother is too lousy!

What?

- Your mother is lousy! - How can you say that?

- How can you say my mother is lousy? - But she's lousy!

Is she not, so you want to tell me that you Igbo people aren't lousy?

[Igbo traditional music]

Here comes the troublemaker!

- My sister! - My brother.

Oversabi aunty!

My one and only aunty that I am pleased...

that I'm pleased...

- Queen of England, shining bright! - You can say that again.

That's enough. Say hello to my husband.

This your husband, you really make me proud, you know.

That's because she's the queen of our family.

For making her this proud, you'll never experience misfortune.

Amen.

Give me a hi-five. Give me a high-five.

Babe...

Come on, babe!

He's upset you came in without greeting him, and you didn't knock before entering.

I don't like this at all!

See the way he barged in! You should barge sense into your head, instead!

- You should use your senses, for once! - Babe...

Please, excuse me! Excuse me!

Let me talk to this boy whose hair is deserting his face and destiny!

Guy, is something wrong with your head?

What's going on here? You just barged into my matrimonial bedroom!

Just like that! You can't knock?

You just walked in here same way you walked into the prison!

You think you can just walk in here like that? For what?

Please, don't bring in prison when talking about me!

Who is walking into prison?

But you've been in prison before, haven't you?

I swear, what?

- Did you tell him I've been in prison? - Don't say anything.

Well, I went to the lion building, but is that a prison?

Why didn't you knock too? You should have!

He's a man.

You're my In-law, and as men, we should understand each other and flow freely.

- Okay... - You and I shouldn't have any issue at all.

It's okay. It's okay.

- To think that I even need his help. - Then, talk to him.

- Talk to him! - My In-law...

- I need your help. - Really?

I need your help.

Just speak. You know my husband is a nice man.

I just found out about a very good business.

It's really a good one.

- I see. - It's beyond description.

If I explain it to you now, I guarantee that you'll love it.

- You've got a business... - Yes.

Okay.

I'll only be needing a small amount to start it.

How much? Tell him!

After this initial start, I will be making money in loads!

How much, come on?

-It's just #16,000,000.00 -What?

#16,000.000?

- You say what? - That's a lot!

- Only? - Can you do it?

What's going to happen is that...

After this introduction, then I will see to it.

I'm not even leaving after the introduction.

- Why? - I'm staying after the introduction.

No problem. Go and assist them over there. Go now!

Sister, I've got my guys coming over.

No, you can't do that.

This is just an introduction.

When the wedding takes place, you can call whoever you want.

-People are already on their way from Sango!

- Don't do that! - Not now.

- I've got people coming in a bus already! - Not now.

I paid for the bus, and they're on the way!

Please, just go, go. Go!

Salute to you, my In-law!

He's got a style to how he wears his glasses, damn!

Never seen that before!

My brother...

Most handsome boy I've ever seen. Very decent.

Excuse me...

Let me tell you something, okay...

Let me give you a breaking news...

You see this monkey you people, err, adopted from the zoo?

Come on, what's that?

His colleagues, the other chimpanzees are complaining,

that you people have adopted and taken away their best colleague.

That you should bring him back.

- Babe... - Bring him back.

I don't have time. Tie it for me, please.

You want it real tight?

Okay...

Oh my goodness!

- [drumming] - Where are you now?

Where are you?

I can hear you now.

You've gone past the Toll Gate?

So, where are you, precisely?

Traffic jam at Ile Epo? Is today the market day?

It shouldn't take long before you get to Iyana Ipaja.

Hurry up, please. Or would you alight from the bus, and get bikes?

Hurry up, my guys!!

[singing]

This self-righteous attitude, I want to go...

Everybody is... Oh no...

Please, come and pick me... hey, please!

Are you outside?

Okay, I'll be there in a moment.

I swear, all my uncles, everyone of them is here.

Oh yeah, I see you! I see you, my guy!

How far?

Err...

We are Solagbade family, from Abeokuta.

No, no, no! What are you saying?

What's that?

Come off it, please!

No, no, no, come on!

Everywhere you go, you speak in Yoruba as if everyone understands it!

Excuse me, speak in a language we all understand,

so we know if you're trying to scam our daughter!

Aunty Rose!

-This is not good at all! Is that how they behave? -It's okay.

They should speak in a language that we all...

Did you hear that?

- Can you hear that? - It's okay, it's okay. It's okay.

Please, don't be offended.

Erm, erm, sir...

Err, it would be preferable if you speak what we all can understand.

Seeing we're from different tribes, okay.

So, please, err... English or pidgin, either is preferable...

Thank you, my In-law.

We found a big flower,

quite beautiful, in your compound,

Seyi...

What's that?

Seyi...

You lie!

Her name is Nneka!

She is Nneka!

Call her NNeka! What's that?

- Oluwaseyi... - What's that?

Her name is Nneka!

- Seyi! - What's that?

Seyi?

- She is Nwanneka! - Seyi!

Nneka is her name!

[rowdiness]

You should calm down too!

You think you can just come around and change things right?

Don't wound me, please!

- Nneka! - Sir?

- Seyi! - Sir?

- Even if they don't like the name... - Yes?

Please, why are your people behaving like mad people?

It is your people that are behaving like animals in the zoo!

- My people are behaving like animals? - Yes, it's animals who behave like this!

- My people are behaving like animals... - Yes, that's what's happening here!

[rowdiness continues]

I name these children according to their father's lineage!

I gave them good names, Igbo names, but you said no!

That we live in Lagos!

That they will have to integrate properly, that they will have to be Yoruba names!

That's what we'll call them, now look at what's going on!

Please, leave me alone!

I've never seen a man that talks so carelessly like you!

A man who speaks so foolishly...

Even I have never seen a woman who's always saying rubbish like you!

You know what? At least, talk to them!

Her name is Nwanneka!

- Help me appeal aunty Rose... - Yes?

Because I know that due to the fact that she does not have a husband,

She wants my children's life to be like that...

Rose is not the problem.

- Help me beg her... - Rose is not the problem.

Rose is not the problem. You are the problem!

- You are the problem! - See the way you're behaving like a woman!

- You're behaving like you're insane! - You're insane too!

Come off it!

- For once, act lie a man! - You too, for once, act like a wife!

- Act like a wife! - This is an apology of a husband!

Is this a wife?

Yes...

- Seyi. - Nneka.

I've told you her name is Nwanneka.

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

It's okay!

Please, everyone!

Imagine what the son is also saying!

Your father must have given birth to us, right!

- Please, sir! - What are you people saying?

- [rowdiness continues] - Please sir!

Oh my God! My goodness, please I'm begging you!

Please!

Okay?

[hisses]

Please, let me kindly take the stage for now, please, please.

[clears throat]

Erm...

- Olumide... - Yes sir...

Okay, I'm not going to pretend like I don't know you.

Yes sir.

We want to know who you are.

We want to know where you work.

Let's start from there.

- Erm, thank you, sir. - Okay, that's fine.

Erm, I'm into tech.

They call us, tech, tech bros.

Tech what?

Tech bros.

- What is he saying? - Listen to the illiterate!

- What does that mean? - Listen to the illiterate!

- Tech bro? - Illiterate!

You're an illiterate! It has to do with computer!

That's baptism for fraudsters!!

[murmur of disapproval] That's a fraudster in training!

Fraudster in training!

- Aunty Rose... - A fraudster's money will not...

Excuse me, please.

Come on, excuse me!

- I say, excuse me! - You too, excuse me!

What's the issue with saying, excuse me?

Dake, is interpreted as shut up!

- Are you going to beat your wife now? - I'm not beating her, please.

- You caused it. If you hadn't... - That's enough, mom!

- Did you hear what I said? - What is it?

Please, that's enough! Enough, please!

Where do you live?

Do you live with your parents?

Do you live alone?

Do you live under the bridge?

Do you live with, with your friends?

I mean, who are you? Where do you live?

So that we'll know if you can take care of our daughter?

That is what we all want to know. That's the main thing we are here for.

- Do you understand? - Yes, sir.

Good. You can talk.

-I actually live alone. I live in Lekki Phase 1.

- Lekki Phase 1. - Yes sir.

That's right, that's right.

- I have a question. - Okay.

Where is the wedding going to take place?

Here we go again!

Because we kept quiet, look at the cloth our

daughter is wearing at a traditional event!

Isn't she an Ibo girl?

We pretend like we don't take note,

and that's why you've got the gut to ask where wedding is taking place!

Is she not an Ibo girl? The wedding is taking place at the East!

[rowdiness again]

Don’t you know you're Ibo?

She isn’t Yoruba, she's an Ibo girl!

- She is Ibo! Even you... - Excuse me!

They did a good job. The food is really delicious.

- Do you want some more? - No, not at all. We have enough already.

God bless you, my dear.

I've got enough meat.

- God bless you, my dear, Aderonke. - Amen, grandma. Amen.

- Aderonke... - What's that?

Ronke, my dear.

- Chioma... - Yes ma?

- Dear, go and bring... - Aderonke...

Stop saying that!

What's all this, Aderonke stuff, come on!

Please bring us some more chicken.

Aderonke...

- What's with this, Aderonke? - Aderonke is what we named you,

and it will bring you blessing.

No, no, no, no!

No way, it's not me!

I can't, I can't do this!

Because you're going to affect my mental health!

You're going to drive me nuts! You drive me loco!

I'm not gonna to do this with you, no way!

You can't call me Ronke...

You're calling me Chioma...

You're calling me Ronke...

You're calling me Chioma, Ronke, Chioma...

No way!

You have to pick a name.

- It's Chioma. - No, we don't want Chioma!

What is going to happen is, you all will have a meeting, and choose a name.

- Ronke! - No, Chioma!

Okay, okay, fine!

Since you won't have a meeting,

You pick a name,

You marry the names together, and you'll call me Chiro.

- Huh? - That's Chioma and Ronke.

- Chiro what?? - Is that what your father named you?

[rowdiness again]

Then I'm done! I'm done! You have embarrassed...

Ronke's mother? Ronke's mother...

You people have embarrassed this family enough!

Aderonke, when I call you, don't answer me.

All of you, I'm done!

- Aderonke... - I can't even bring a man to this house!

- Aderonke... - Enjoy your meal!

You, definitely must bring a man!

[rowdiness again]

Excuse me, she is Ronke! She is Ronke!

Be very careful!

Toun's mother, are you okay?

I will hit you with this!

I'm going to break your head! I'll break your head!

[belches]

It's enjoyment all the way!

[free-styling a rap]

You this stupid man, what are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

I must be playing with sand!

What's that?

What are you doing here? That's what I'm asking you!

- I'm enjoying my life. - You're enjoying your life, really?

While I'm inside, washing?

Did I ask you to go do that?

What rubbish talk is that?

-Are you stupid? -What?

Your height would make one think you've got sense!

They wouldn't know that your big head is filled with nothing, but air!

You woman, with your scarf like that of a woman mourning her husband!

- God will have victory over you! - God will punish you!

- God will have victory... - God will punish you too!

- Just look at you! - That what?

Don't you know that,

you should be doing things while you're here, so the children can feel your presence?

Listen, my place,

when aunty and uncle come home,

nieces and nephews know it's time to have fun.

- But... - They know they're having time to relax,

while we do the chores,

so that when they go, they'll remember we did something nice for them.

- On your side, right? - Yes!

On my own side,

they’ve got nieces and nephews here,

right in my elder sister's house...

Come on, I shouldn't be running around for anything.

I ought to be relaxing and having fun as I'm doing here.

- I see! - Yes.

- Efulefu! You're enjoying yourself... - Hold on, what does Efulefu mean?

No wonder you're still here!

You're here doing nothing!

You're here, drinking! Listen good...

Do you know what your nieces and nephews would remember you by,

is the gluttony uncle who took all their drinks!

And he adds no value at all, yes!

- Is that not enough? - No, it's not enough!

- Is that not enough? - No, it's not enough here!

You're suffering spiritual problems!

You're no longer in control of your brain!

You're so senseless!

If you've got a sense at all, you would

have known that getting useful in the house,

will make it easier for you to get favour when you beg for help!

- But, of course, you're senseless! - Madam, come back here.

- I like the way you've tabled my story. - Yes.

- That's nice... - Yes, I did well.

But you also have your own story. Yes.

- What have you got about me? - You've been married 9 times!

With seven different children!

Were they prescribing that to you at the hospital?

Come off it, it was six.

-It's 6! -What's the difference between 6 and 9?

Listen, it's only a very strong waist that can handle me!

You try it with this lizard waist of yours, and it will break!

What's that?

Had it been you're of value, I could have added you to be the seventh.

Not on my dead body!

- You don't have what it takes. - Who would date a prostitute? Who?

- Anyway... - You're the biggest prostitute!

If I don't see you in that kitchen,

I'm going to slap that senselessness out of your head!

I need to ask you a question.

- Don't ask me any question!

Do you mourn your husbands' death every year?

Cursed animal!

Listen...

- Bedbugs will deal with you! - Are you trying to charm me?

- You want to charm me! - Yes!

[chanting incantation]

- Do you know those bedbugs... - Anyone who is becoming too troublesome...

- Those bedbugs... - Yes, I know it.

Those bedbugs that have lived too long, those are quite dangerous...

those are the ones that will attack you!

Old bedbugs will attack you!

Don't show up in the kitchen, and you'll regret it!

- Old bedbugs will attack you! - What a cursed human being!

This woman doesn't know what I'm made of!

-All tnis nonsense you do around, -you'll soon find out what I'm made of!

I'm super insane, don't you know!

If you get me really upset,

and I get into my erratic state, everyone will escape from the house!

Because I'm putting on some white dress?

I'm not so gifted with sense, okay!

Ada, I'm begging you, please, I'm trying.

Just give me one last chance.

Chuka, you've said that before.

You just don't change.

Ada, I would, I would change.

Please, allow me to prove myself to you.

- Okay, okay, can I come over to yours? - No, you can't.

Ada, Ada, okay, I just want to see you.

I miss you. Will you come over to mine?

- I can't. - Please now, please, come over.

I can't be with someone that doesn't know how to control himself.

Chuka, it's draining.

Ada, I'm trying! Ada, I'm trying!

I know it's, I know it's taking time, I know it's taking time,

but I'm trying, I'm trying my very best.

Please allow me to prove myself to you. Don't leave me this world alone!

Loving you feels like punishment,

and honestly, I need peace, okay?

What, what, what peace are you talking about, Ada?

Don't, don't I deserve peace? Don't I deserve peace with you?

You know what...

I'm gonna hang up now.

Ada?

Oh, fuck!

- Give me money! - Come on, calm down, woman.

I will send this money to you, first thing...

No way! I want the money now that I can see you!

- Come on! - Please, stop this!

Our wife...

- Give me money! - What money?

Let me ask you, how could my prayers be working against me?

How?

I know how I suffered and prayed for you to make money!

Now, to give me some money, you're finding it difficult to oblige!

- Is that how you behave now? - What is this, come on?

- I will send you the money! - Make transfer!

Do a transfer!

I can't because I've exceeded my daily limit!

Don't give me that 'limit' crap!

Are you talking to someone who doesn't know how to operate a phone, or what?

I've passed my limit for the day!

Aunty Rose, I thought you would followed them...

Not at all. You know those ones are going to the East.

I live in Lagos, you know.

When I'm done, tomorrow, I will go.

I just need to collect some money from my brother.

This stingy husband of yours!

Every time he's always finding it difficult to give me money!

Once he promises you money, he will never pick your calls again!

So now that I'm seeing him with my eyes,

he will give me money before I leave this place!

Aunty Rose, for God's sake, please I want to sleep.

Yes, you've got space here, come and sleep.

- Give me money. - Chidi...

I want to sleep.

Come on, I need to sleep!

You heard her. She wants to sleep.

Please, woman...

She can sleep there and face the other side.

I'm busy discussing something important to me!

- She wants to sleep, come on! - Am I stopping her?

You cannot be a stingy man!

- I said I will send this money... - No, that is what you...

- First thing in the morning. - No!

- First thing in the morning... - That was what you told me the last time!

- Chidi! - Yes, my wife?

What's going on! I want to sleep, now!

Rose, I will give you the money tomorrow morning, please.

In the morning, in the morning.

- In the morning? - Yes!

- True to - God.

You are a witness.

[chuckling]

Our wife...

You're enjoying my brother's wealth, and you're happy.

Your cheeks are getting bigger.

Just look at how we are taking good care of you.

Anyway, if you know a very good and awesome style,

you will give this my brother, your husband,

so that, tomorrow, he will give me money, happily.

You better do it, okay! You better do it!

If he tells me story tomorrow...

If he tells me story tomorrow, and does not give me that money, damn...

I will not go anywhere!

I will stay in your house permanently! I will not leave, okay!

So, let me go and disturb Chuka.

Yes, I'm very sure he will never be as stingy as his father.

So...

when I finish collecting from him this night,

in the morning, I will still come back and collect the one you promised me, hmm?

Alright.

Good night.

My dear, why is aunty Rose behaving like a mad woman?

What's that?

Yes, why is she behaving like a mad woman?

Yes!

I don't understand.

Don't you have tradition and culture in your place?

No, you're going too far, okay! You've started again!

- Why would you call my sister an insane? - Isn't she?

- My sister? - Yes!

Because how can you come onto someone's matrimonial bed, and sit just like that?

Am I the cause of her problem?

Was I responsible for her having 6 husbands, and 6 children?

- Yes! - At least, she has 6 husbands.

6 husbands, 6 baby daddies.

She doesn't have six husbands. What she has is six baby fathers.

- Whatever! - Yes, yes.

You'd be raving if it was my brother who did that!

Yes, your bother is a disgrace!

- He's a disgrace... - Yes!

Yes, he's useless!

That's why you know nothing about culture and tradition!

- Imagine you acting like an insane! - No, please, don't insult my culture!

Listen, you see, if boldness,

If boldness was garri, you don't have water to soak it!

Look at you!

Look, you're not bold! You're a hypocrite!

Why didn't you say this thing in front of her?

In Yoruba land, we're not, we respect our,

we don't disrespect our In-law.

This woman, you're nothing but a hypocrite!

Get out, please!

- You're telling me to get out? - Yes!

Lord Jesus, please keep the devil away from me!

Look at what you're holding, yet you're so unruly!

Spare me, please!

So unruly! I don't know!

How could someone, someone have a wife, and it feels like a generator without fuel!

Every time, it's noise and chaos!

Damn! Tope,

- your house is awesome! - Of course, it is.

My dad is wealthy, so we've got no problem.

Wow.

Did you pimp the house or what?

I mean, how could a house be this beautiful!

- Come on... - Temitope?

- Is that your phone's ring tone? - Temitope?

My mom!

Temitope?

Tope?

Temitope?

Mom...

I've been calling you since!

I was sleeping, ma.

Sleeping?

Yes, mommy.

But I thought I heard noise.

Really? Maybe when I was praying.

There you have it.

You know, I have to, I have to pray because my upcoming exam, I have to pass it.

That's why I'm praying. I've been praying so hard.

This is what I taught you people -

the way of the Lord.

And the Lord will go before you,

because you have put him first.

Temitope, I'm proud of you.

You will be one of the strongest women,

in Christianity.

You will pass.

Thank you so much, mommy.

Erm, but as you are sleeping and praying,

I think you should be listening to Pastor Bolaji's teaching, or Pastor Selman.

I'll listen to Pastor Bolaji, ma.

Thank you so much. Goodnight.

- Mommy, let me lock the door. - Yes, you can come and lock it.

- Goodnight, my dear. - Yes, mommy.

Goodnight. Lock the door.

Yes, mommy Goodnight, mommy.

Your mom didn't suspect anything.

Your mom didn't see me.

How could she see you? She doesn't understand such game.

She doesn't pay attention to such routines.

If you want to get one over her, just tell her you're praying, and that's it.

- I'm in the holy ghost... - Jesus!

That's it.

She is fond of behaving like she knows everything, you know.

Just look at her! She knows nothing!

Don't worry. She's so naive.

- Your mother is so naive! - Absolutely naive!

My dear, Tope! Temitope...

Oh, you're turning me on!

- You're turning me on! - Come off it.

Chuka...

I'm going out, but don't tell anyone. Keep it zip, okay.

- [muttering] - Bye.

Halima.

- What? Ronke, you're not dressed yet? - Dress?

The only way I was able to sneak out is because my mom and dad are fighting.

- If not... - Really?

Yes.

I have my clothes in my bag. Let's go.

- You'll change inside the car. - I know.

I love your makeup, babe.

I know, I don't like the shape of your makeup.

Okay, okay, let's go...

(door thuds)

- Seyifunmi... - Ma?

What?

Where are you going to?

Erm, I'm just going to spend the night at my fiancé's house.

I don't understand. You are going to do what?

- To, to sleepover now. - Sleepover?

Are you married to him?

Oh, because you just did the introduction...

that's why you want to go and sleep in a man's house?

What did I tell you?

- I said I want you to marry as a virgin! - Come on, mommy!

What is mommy?

Must every conversation be a shouting match?

- Why can't you just talk to me? - You say I'm shouting?

Wait, are you married?

Are you married? Has the pastor blessed your wedding?

Has the pastor blessed your marriage?

The church members, have they been here?

- What are you telling me? - Mommy!

Mom, can't we just sit down and have a conversation like mother and daughter!

You don't listen, mom...

- Mom, please... - I don't listen?

I don't listen!

If God wanted me to be listening to you, would he make me your mother?

You are going to be the mother, and I would be your child!

Listen to me, you are not married to him!

Are you listening? You can't go and sleep there!

This is the holy Bible. Take.

Start reading your Bible!

How to stay married in Christianity!

How to build a home!

How to build your husband!

That is why most of you are divorcing up and down!

You'll be crying and lying that they are affecting you, mentally!

Sit down, read your Bible, and pack your things back in!

You want to... imagine this!

Erm, Chidi?

Chidi!

Chidi?

Chidi!

My dear?

Darling?

My dear, babe...

God just saved me!

Thank God that I went to Seyi's room!

Can you believe that Seyi is packing her things!

She said she wants to go and spend the night in Olumide's house!

But...

-These people have done introduction now... -I don't understand.

They have done introduction. Are they married?

They are not married yet!

Have they gone to church?

Has the Lord blessed them?

Has the Holy Spirit blessed them?

Has the pastor blessed them?

He has not!

It's not, it doesn't make sense! Better go and talk to her!

Go and talk to her!

I will not let any daughter of mine do that kind of thing!

Excuse me, excuse me.

What's all this problem about, for goodness sake?

I don't understand what you are saying!

If you want to talk to your children, call them,

to talk to your child, call them.

Calm down, let them trust you.

You understand?

Then you have a discussion with them.

Don't let them be afraid of you all the time!

What are you saying?

There's no sense in what you're saying!

How can you be saying, the children that I gave birth to...

that I carried for nine months?

So, if want to talk to my child, I should have my hands at my back,

or I should kneel to talk to my child?

Does it make sense?

I tell you, you see these children, the way you're going about this thing,

very soon these children will be filling forms to even tell you good morning!

They'll be filling, no problem.

Why are you always like this for God's sake?

What the heck!

Because what you're saying does not make sense!

- It does not make sense... - I am their mother!

If I want to talk to them, I have right to talk to them the way I like!

- You don't have right to always shout! - Don't tell me that!

So that means if I want to talk to my child,

I should put my hand at the back or kneel!

- To talk to my children... - Nobody is telling you...

- Oh my God! - Please, shift!

- What... - I carried their pregnancy for months,

carried them on my back, and breastfed them...

I will talk to them anyhow I like!

I gave birth to them!

I'm the one that God entrusted those children to!

- To give birth and lead them aright... - Did you give birth to them by yourself?

Because you always say you gave birth to them!

What's all this problem?

Look, I don't have time for you today.

I know when you start this thing, I know where you are going.

There's nothing for you this night, please.

Just let me be. I don't have your time tonight.

[snoring]

[upbeat music]

Halima.

- I'm done. - Okay, you look so hot, babe.

Thank you. Wait, come here.

That your car, it's awesome, yes I know.

Where did you get it from? How did you get it?

I did access to the CDcare.

- I know CDcare now! - Really?

-Yes, of course. Is it not that e-commerce app.

It's the one where you can pay for any electrical gadgets and car

And then, guess what?

You can also pay at normal market rates. They're the one, right?

I know CDcare.

- Of course, I know them. - You're right.

Be careful, be careful.

(upbeat music)

(singing in foreign language)

Mommy, guess what?

I say guess now! Can't you guess?

Guess what I just saw in club, mommy!

It's Ronke, mom!

I say I just saw Ronke in the club!

I'm talking about 'oversabi' aunty's daughter, Ronke!

The Ronke you and I know, yes!

In the club!

Talk to, talk to Sunny! Tell her!

Hello mommy.

Mommy, yeah we saw her!

Mom, mom I swear to God! Mommy, we saw her!

Yes!

Hello mommy. I said that I can see her like this in the club, sorry...

Yes. What?

Mommy said I should do a video recording of her, and send to her.

So she can post it on the church Whatsapp group too!

Mommy, I will, I will send it to you.

(upbeat music)

Temitope!

It's positive!

You're pregnant!

How can you be pregnant?

What do you know about...

How did you do it?

Why did you even do it?

You are dead!

You're dead!

Mommy will kill you!

Should I tell her? Should I tell her?

I don't know!

Even if you tell her or you don't tell her, you know she will still know!

She will see you!

Everybody in this house is already in trouble!

Even daddy is in trouble, because...

When you know you were not a virgin, why did you not tell me?

Or you would have told sister Seyi!

How can you go and get...

You'll be a mommy!

Damn!

- Tola's mother, have I told you? - Told me what?

That erm, Seyi is going to get married.

- Wow. - They've done the introduction.

- You didn't tell me. - I just didn't want it to be this thing...

- Congratulations. Congra... - Is that not your your daughter?

- Yes, she is. - My goodness!

Tola...

- Mommy, good afternoon. - My dear.

Good afternoon, ma.

- Hi. - Hi Tola, how are you?

- How are you? - Mommy, you forgot to drop the key for me.

I forgot, my dear.

- Good afternoon, ma. - How are you, my dear?

- I'm fine, ma. - How is mommy?

She's fine, ma.

- Have it. - Thank you, mommy.

Hold on! Come back!

Wait, so you cannot greet?

- Hi. - You're saying, hi, to me?

Come on, don't sweat it. I can handle this myself.

Are you not a Yoruba boy?

-I'm Yoruba. So, you're a Yoruba boy!

So, you don't know you should prostrate to greet?

- That's how the children behave these days. - Really?

That's what you people keep saying! Children of these days! GenZ!

That's how you ruin their lives!

What's your name?

Sonny Money.

Sonny Money. Is that what your parents named you?

Talk! is that what they named you?

Your mother will be somewhere, praying, smacking at her tummy,

holding her breasts and praying that God should make you successful,

but the prayer will be diverted elsewhere, to Sonny Money,

because that's not what you were named!

- Seyi's mother... - Don't worry yourself, Tola's mother,

Since you cannot train your children,

- I will help you train them! - Come on, Seyi's mother...

Don't worry. Please, I beg you in God's name...

Look at the way you are dressed!

Is this how a child of God should dress?

Come here, Seyi!

This is my daughter.

Well-covered!

Decent child!

Look at her.

Is she not beautiful?

- Seyi's mother... - She's a queen.

Look at you!

Look at the way...

Are you going to play basketball or hockey or rugby?

Seyi's mother!

- Come on, let these children be! - That's fine. You can go!

Go.

Tola, you may leave. I'll join you at home.

Seyi's mother!

That's the way the children dress these days!

I see.

There's nothing wrong with her dressing!

- That's how the Gen Zs dress, right? - Exactly.

As if I don't have children of Gen Z era at home!

Is Temitope not Gen Z?

Is Aderonke not Gen Z?

If rapture should happen right now,

with me, my children and husband making it to heaven,

but I now see you in hell, and you greet me,

If I see you in hell fire, and you greet me, you think I'm going to answer you?

- Why won't you? - I rebuke such acquaintances!

Let me tell you, these children are put in our charge, and we as carers.

Look at how your child was dressed! She was practically nude!

The breasts that should have been well covered, are now exposed!

- There's no big deal about this... - Mom...

Let me tell you, give me a moment, Oluwaseyi.

You are not a responsible mother.

- I am a responsible mother. - You are not!

- Why? I am! - You are not!

And from now onward, I am sorry, you cannot be the head of the praying department!

Why is that?

Because you don’t have a life filled with holy spirit!

Mummy

No, you don't!

Get in the car, daughter.

- You don't! - Are we done with the meeting?

What meeting are we talking about?

I cannot continue to interact with sinners!

Even the Bible says, train the child and spare the... help me with that statement.

- Spare the rod and spoil the child. - Spare the rod and spoil the child!

You are spoiling them, you are...

You would go to hell fire!

I swear to God, call me a bastard if you don't go to hell fire!

- It's okay, mom. - I won't go to hell fire in Jesus name.

It's okay, mom.

- What the heck! - Let's go.

Get in.

- Didn't you see how the girl was dressed? - Yes, I did.

She was naked!

Practically naked!

Do you understand?

Naked!

- Drive, let's go. - Oh my!

Yes, I said I need some space.

Ada, Ada...

Ada...

Ada listen, I'm not going to give you space.

Chuka, you know what? Erm, let me, let me call you later.

Ada wait, Ada...

[exhales]

So, what happened between the two of you again?

I just told him that I need some space, aunty.

I don't feel like I, like I want to talk to him right now.

But if you don't want to talk to someone,

you block them.

But you,

you are entertaining him.

Mommy, you look so beautiful.

What do you want to beg for?

No, mommy, I'm not begging for anything.

So, what's this you look beautiful all about if you're not begging for anything?

Mommy, are you going for a wedding party, or you're going for the meeting?

August meeting is not just a meeting.

It's a statement for us, the Igbo family.

Okay mommy, but, but I want, I want...

- I want to tell you something. - What is it? What do you want to tell me?

Mommy, I am...

You are what?

Shut your mouth!

Tope, I have told you,

I'm not going to be with you people forever.

I will die and go to heaven.

You people will be here after me!

You have to learn to be a strong woman, using your Bible to talk to God.

If you have anything you want to say, talk to God. I'm going somewhere.

- Because I know you want to... - Why don't you always listen...

Why, why would I listen to you?

Am I your mother, or you are my mother?

Get out of my room now! Get out!

Come on, leave!

Come back here. What's this?

Clear this place for me.

Go and clear it, I say!

[mimicking]

Pray, pray to God.

Am I going to live with you forever?

I'll be dead someday.

And you'll go to your husband's house.

So, you cannot handle whatever situation that comes up?

You must tell me everything, right!

Are you a child?

[sobbing]

[Igbo women saluting]

- Let's give ourselves a round of applause, please. - [clapping]

Before we read the list of defaulters, and those who would be paying penalty,

There's someone in our midst who we need to accept, the way we accept others.

She is a Yoruba woman...

But, we will accept her the way we accept others.

Her name is Toun.

Toun, yes.

Toun Odogwu, alias, the first great woman.

[singing in Igbo]

Toun, it is time.

Greet your village, your fellow women here.

Thank you.

- Greetings to you all goats... - What the hell!

Did you, people, hear what this woman is saying?

It's okay, It's okay.

I already told you people about this woman, that she's a Yoruba.

Now, what ewu means, is goat...

No, no you people are not goat, please!

I'm so sorry.

So, this is what you will say...

- I greet you all, mothers. - [women respond in Igbo]

I greet you all, mothers.

I greet everyone

I greet everyone.

You're welcome.

[singing Igbo song]

(traditional performers)

[praise and worship]

Aderonke?

Aderonke?

No. No.. must you shout?.

[singing] Come over here!

He has made me, continue.

Continue.

You are pregnant?

Talk! You are pregnant.

- Yes... - My goodness! I'm so dead!

[exclaiming]

I'm so done in!

[exclaiming]

I'm so done in! I'm so done in!

So done in! My goodness!

Temitope!

What will people say?

What will the church say?

What will the pastor say?

- What will... - What will who say?

What will who say?

What will pastor say? What is it?

Is that the main concern?

What will people say?

What will the church say?

What will the ushers say?

To hell with them!

To hell with them! Do you know what they are doing in their houses?

You're not concerned about this child! You should be concerned about our child!

This girl, you are not concerned about her at all!

This, this little girl.

You're not concerned about that!

I mean, you're not asking about her future!

You're not asking about her education!

You're not asking about her welfare, her mental health!

You're more concerned about what they will say!

To hell with them!

Okay...

- You should care about her mental health! - Okay!

Okay. Talk to me.

- Tell me! - Don't touch her.

- I'm going to bite you to bits! - Don't touch her!

You want your life messed up like that of aunty Rose!

Don't touch her.

- Tell me! - Hey, what was that about aunty Rose again?

Tell me!

Who impregnated you?

My Goodness!

Is something wrong with you?

How's any of this aunty Rose' business?

Is something wrong with you?

Woman, allow me to handle this issue!

You better let me handle this! You better let

me handle it! Let me handle this thing now.

- Please, go ahead! - Can I handle this thing?

- Handle it, please! - Can I handle this thing?

Handle it!

- (crying) - Erm...

Ifunaya,

Daddy...

You know you're daddy's girl, right?

Your daddy's girl.

And you will tell me the truth.

Okay?

Firstly,

who is this boy?

- The truth... - Tope!

Tope! Temitope, look at me!

- The, the only time... - The only time, what?

- Can I just, can I just... - you leave this house,

is when you're going to church!

It's when you are going to school!

It's when you are going to lesson!

- It's when you are going to... - You are going to shut up!

It's when you are going to shut up!

Can you just shut up!

- Can you just shut your mouth! - Okay, I have!

Just shut up, and let me handle this, please!

What's your problem?

Tope is pregnant!

- Oh goodness, I'm ruined! - You're truly ruined!

You're totally ruined if you don't shut up!

You're ruined if you don't shut your mouth!

- [grunting] - What the heck?

- The shame! - Excuse me?

Sorry!

Ifunaya.

- Ifunnaya... - Daddy...

Please,

my daughter,

speak to me, please.

Now, I want you to tell me this...

Where did this thing happen?

Speak! Where did it happen?

In this place?

In this room?

Inside this room!

This boy opened a warehouse inside your shop!

- In here! In... - No, in my room!

- Your what? - My room!

- In this house? - Wait, your room.

Where is the family?

Family...

Okay, family...

- Where's his family? - Erm...

I don't know where his family are...

(yelling) Babe!

Leave me alone this woman! What's your problem?

Oh God! Tope!

With all the Christian training I gave you!

With all the bible teaching, goodness!

Where does this boy live?

- Live... - Where does he live? Answer!

Where does he live? Where does he live?

- The beach. - What?

Where?

The beach...

Beach?

Temitope...

This is the kind of place you come, to meet him!

[touts hailing Tope] The small but powerful one!!

No one would dare you!

Whoever dare you will...

[more hailing from touts]

Mama, is there anyone being rude to you?

- That's okay, guys. - Who's disrespecting you, mama?

Don't worry, there's no problem.

These are my mom and dad.

- So, behave yourself. - [hailing at Tope's parents]

That's enough. Now, take a hike.

That's good.

Temitope...

- Temitope! - Chika!

Wait...

- Small but what? - You are the small but mighty?

Small but what...

Temitope, is this the Christian way I taught you?

- My goodness! - Small but...

- You! - Let's go.

Small but mighty!

- I want to see the person. - You will explain this at home!

It looks like we've got visitors.

What's happening here?

Good afternoon...

Babe, what are you doing with these low-lives?

What are you doing with these hopeless people?

- That aside... - What's wrong with this one?

- Baby... - Come on step away! Who's your baby?

Did you misplace your baby or what?

Looks like God is going to deal with you!

Do I know you? Have we ever met? Who are you?

Daddy, daddy, mommy...

This is the guy who impregnated me!

Me?

You should go elsewhere if you've got a problem!

If you come closer, I'll smash your head with a bamboo, and you'd lose your senses!

If I get my hands on you, it won't end well at all!

- Me, with a low sperm count? - It beats me!

How can impregnate anyone when I'm infertile?

You didn't give your daughter a proper home training, you know.

If you'd trained her properly, would she get pregnant?

- You didn't get a proper home training. - Please, come off that!

Hey, shut up there, and don't go too far!

You better don't overstretch your luck so you don't suffer!

Are you listening?

Why don't you tell her some story?

[teasing]

- I so like you! - Mama...

-Okay, okay Alaba... Yes, mama?

Are you sure you did as agreed?

- You're talking about Temitope, right? - Yes.

That's nothing to worry about. The job is done!

Are you sure?

The job is completely done, I assure you.

It was so easy!

I'm so in control so much that if she tries to play games,

If she tries to act funny, I've got her nude pictures!

Damn!

Very sexy photo!

Okay.

- You know what? - What?

Since you've gone that deep, just play along with her.

You know, you keep acting like you're so in love with her!

I'll do more than acting, I tell you!

Okay...

- Jesus! - Do you understand now?

- So, you're a traitor! - Yes, I am.

- What's that? - To hell with you! You dare...

Your family will all die!

Your father and mother will come to no good!

- No, no, no... - Aunty, aunty please, we're Christians.

So what?

She said she's pregnant, and she has identified this guy as the one responsible.

But you don't have to curse us. I'm the mother, and this is the father.

Okay, that's not a problem.

- You are the father. - Yes.

- And you are the mother. - Yes.

- So, you are her biological parents? - Yes.

In that case, both of you will come to no good!

What the...

[chaotic confrontation]

Let's go! Come on, let's go!

[chaotic chatter continues]

- Dad, hold on! - What is it? What?

- Mommy hold on! - What are you doing?

Hold on, mommy!

Let her talk!

You know what, I've learned another lesson.

Yes, I've learned a lesson, but I promise you, I'll give birth to this child!

[chaotic face off again]

- Temitope! - What's wrong with you?

- Ifunanya, Ifuna... - Temi...

This girl, don't make me hurt you! Don't make me hurt you!

This is really hurtful!

Goodness!

Temitope!

- So this is really you!

So, this is the life you live!

You are the one being referred to as 'small but mighty!'.

You were even bouncing up and down!

They were hailing and calling you small but mighty!

So, you are a different child at home, and another outside!

In spite of leading you to God, and showing you the Christian way of life,

This is how you want to show gratitude for all we did?

Is this how?

Give me your phone. Give me your phone!

Give me your phone!

You are not using phone again!

You're done using phone!

Just look at the person who impregnated you!

Look at how those girls were abusing us!

Abusing your father and I!

So, this is the real you!

Now, listen and listen well.

You are pregnant, right?

No problem.

Here we are with a shameful pregnancy!

So, you want my church members,

the church, the pastor, my ushers,

members of my WhatsApp group,

You want them to think I’ve not been training my children well!

Now listen, you are out of the country!

What did I say? You have relocated!

Now, you are studying in university!

You must not leave this room!

What did I say?

If you say a word, I swear, I'll use...

to destroy your destiny!

If you leave this room...

You'll be confined in here, henceforth!

Your sisters will be bringing food for you.

I have never seen your father crying like that in my life!

You have disgraced me!

You have disgraced the body of God!

You have disgraced the church!

They will look at Christians, and ask if this is what Christianity is all about?

Is that how I raised you?

Tope, look at you!

They were hailing you! Small but mighty, and you were acting cool!

Tope! You look absolutely like a stranger to me!

I'm still coming back.

I'm going to mess up your body with bite marks!

I'll be back!

Oh no!

I'll be back!

Whatever!

Fuck!

[grunts]

No problem.

Alaba...

Kafaya, Baseje, you all should relax. I;ll have my baby, yes, I will.

I'll have the child, no problem!

No problem.

Hey, I'm outside.

I don't want to come inside. Come pick me up.

Ada, I'm coming, I'm coming.

Ada, come in.

I don't want to come in.

Why?

Why?

Your mom.

She's always shouting and...

Look, I don't want anybody to embarrass me, I don't like it.

Relax.

See, all of them already went for my cousin's wedding in Ibadan. Let's go.

Please.

Please.

[music]

Chuka, I only came here because I have to tell you something.

Look...

this relationship,

I can't do it.

You have anger issues, and it's,

it's too much for me, I, I can't deal with it.

I want us to break up.

[stuttering]

- Chuka, it's over. - Ada, Ada what do you mean?

It can't be over!

Ada, you're, literally, the only one I talk to!

My mom would not even give me the chance to talk to her!

Ada, Ada listen.

If you break up with me, I would go into depression!

You're always angry about something.

Chuka, there's always something...

The slightest provocation and you lose it.

I cannot live like that.

- I can't do it. - I promise I'll change.

- Please, please... - I want to leave.

I can't do it. I can't.

I can't.

- I can't do it, Chuka. - Ada...

[music]

- No way! - Asa, Ada if you go, I'm not...

What, what am I going to do? I can't do anything without you, Ada!

Look Chuka, I've thought about it, and there's just no way I can make this work!

Ada, please I'm begging you! Just give me one last chance!

- Please! - Please, leave the way, I want to go.

Ada...

- Ada no... - Chuka get out of the way, I want to go!

-Ada I'm begging you, please stay! - Move away!

- Ada please... - I'm going!

I say no!

[music]

Ada...

[Music]

Ada?

Ada please!

[knock at door]

Who is that?

Chuka...

Fuck! Tope...

[knock continues]

I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming.

- Chuka? - Tope...

It's me.

- Open the door, come on! - I'm coming, I'm coming.

Shit!

Tope, what are you doing here?

I thought, I thought you went to Ibadan with them.

What do you mean everybody went to Ibadan?

You forgot that mommy already told everybody that,

I traveled already because of my pregnancy.

Right.

- Okay... - Wait, wait!

What?

- What's that noise? - Which noise?

- [door slams shut] - Goodness!

Ada?

Ada, please answer me!

Ada, please!

Ada wake up!

What have you done? What have you done?

[screams]

[music]

Hey...

What? What?

Where is Ada, for God's sake?

Her phone was ringing before,

it's not even ringing anymore!

Um, wait, did she say where she was going?

Last time I spoke with her, she told me she was hanging out with some friends...

that she's coming.

That's the only thing she told me. That she's coming.

She's coming, but she didn't say when she's coming.

- She just didn't say... - Okay, so um...

What about her friends? She should have friends. I mean, male, female...

Friends...

- I know two of her friends... - Okay.

- There's Chioma, there's Bimpe... - Okay...

And then, there's one other guy, Chuka.

I mean, they've been getting close lately, but...

I know they're not in speaking terms.

If she was going there, she would have told me.

[sighs]

- Ada would have told me! - It's okay. It's okay.

- Relax, all hope is not lost. - Where do I start from?

- She is put in my care! - It's okay. It's okay.

- Where is Ada? - Just relax. Relax.

Take them to the store where we have the souvenirs.

Just these?

Yes. You'll come back and take the mop to the kitchen.

Okay.

We'll use these ones. I like this.

What happened to you? Come on, get off...

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

- Mommy, please, I want to talk to you... - What did I tell you?

What did I tell you?

I said don't come downstairs. What happens if we have guests here?

So they could know that one of my children failed to heed my Christian training?

I told you that you've relocated to America!

I don't want anybody to know you're pregnant, and you came downstairs!

What exactly have you got to say to me?

- When you were not around, Chuka... - Shut up!

What can be worth hearing from you?

What?

I have told you to never...

As a result of this pregnancy,

as my child in this family, you've got nothing to say again!

To think that I told you that none of my children will be pregnant outside wedlock!

Why am I even talking wedlock here again?

You're 20, going to be 21, and you're pregnant!

Get out. Get out!

There's nothing of note you can say! Get out!

We went to the beach, and everybody was shouting 'small but mighty'! Really?

I gave you good training, but you chose a different path!

Is that, is that what I taught you?

To think that any man could think of having sex with a tiny thing like you!

Unbelievable!

What's this?

Look at this!

The souvenir shared at the wedding is spoilt already!

Is it a must to share souvenir?

Always wanting to show off! Is it a must?

Aderonke!

- Aderonke? - Yes, mom...

- Good afternoon, officer. - Good afternoon.

Please, how can I help you?

Please, I would like to report my niece, as missing.

Your missing niece...

How old is she?

She's 22 years old.

- 22... - Yes.

When was the last time you saw her?

Yesterday, around 3pm.

She said she was hinging out with her friends,

and I've not seen or heard from her since then.

Madam, you know how these Gen Zs are.

She might be out there, having fun, and she doesn't want you to know about it.

No, no, no officer.

She has never done anything like this before.

- I'm sensing something is seriously wrong! - Madam,

we've had cases like this before, okay.

But, you know what, if by this time, tomorrow, she doesn't show up,

then you can come to the police to file a report.

Officer, tomorrow?

Please, help me. What can we do today, please!

I'm sorry, ma'am. There's nothing we can do.

Next person, please.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Please, I came to report my father.

Okay.

My father did money ritual, with a human head...

and kept it under my bed. I don't know what to do.

Wow!

Good afternoon, madam.

- Good afternoon. - Please, have a seat.

Thank you.

I believe you called to report a missing person.

- Yes. - Okay.

Now, in order to kick-start a comprehensive investigation,

we need her full name.

Ada, Ifeoma Benson.

Ada...

Ifeoma,

Benson.

Did she describe her whereabouts?

Or do you know her friends, the regular people she moves with?

Well, she said she was hanging out with some of her friends.

But I only know...

- three of them. - That's good.

So, the first one, we need details.

Her name is Chioma.

Chioma. Where does she stay?

She lives in Ajah.

Ajah, okay.

Chioma, Ajah. The second person, please?

- Hmmm, Bimpe. - Bimpe. Good.

- Where does she stay? - Bimpe lives in Ikeja.

The third person?

Erm, that would be her boyfriend, Chuka.

- Oh, she has a boyfriend, Chuka. - Yes.

Where can we find Chuka?

He lives in Ikate.

I-ka-te.

Okay.

What's your relationship with the missing person?

Ada is my daughter.

She is actually, my niece.

My sister passed on two years ago, and since then, she has been in my care.

She's a daughter to me.

Okay.

What you'll do for us, is that,

These three persons, you're going to give us their numbers.

Then, our investigative team would work on it.

Then, when we get some information, some very

vital information, we would reach out to you.

Okay.

- How long would that take, please? - Don't worry, madam.

I have the best team on ground for it.

I have my guys, and I'm going to bring in the special forces team to assist.

Even I will also be involved in the investigation.

I'll be working with the team directly, myself.

- Okay, please... - So...

in few days, you're going to get some information. Very good, vital information.

So, I think we're good to go.

Yes, please I'll be expecting to hear from you soon.

No problem.

- Thank you very much. - Thank you for coming.

- Oh, please may I take this call? - Feel free.

Thank you.

Hello dear.

Daddy!

- Yeah... - Daddy, welcome.

- Daddy, welcome sir. - Yeah.

- How are you? - I'm fine.

When I say, Keigwanu? You say, odinma.

Okay, odinma, daddy.

Yes, you don't just say only, 'bawo ni', right.

- Odinma, daddy. - Good.

- Hope you're okay? - Yes, daddy.

What?

What's...

- What? - What's that bad smell?

What's smelling in here?

What kind of smell is this?

Well, daddy, I smelt same earlier, but I

thought it was the refuse truck that was just...

Did you lose your sense of smell?

- No, I said I smelt... - You thought what?

What are you saying?

Sorry daddy. Ronke, go and get the air freshener.

Is this the way you want to maintain your husband's house?

Come on go and get the air freshener!

Sorry daddy. I just thought it was the refuse truck that passed.

Refuse truck that passed...

Good God!

Daddy, don't be angry.

Come on, say sorry! sorry!

So, sorry. sorry.

Sorry, dad, Good.

What's 'e ma b'inu?'

I am sorry, dad.

Do you want to spray it in my nostrils?

Any small thing, Ronke! Everything, Ronke! What!

Who is that?

Ronke, get the door, come on.

- Brother Peter. - Yes, it's me.

- Brother Peter... - Yes?

What’s going on?

There's problem!

What's the problem?

There are some police officers waiting outside!

You mean, they came with daddy?

I don't know!

He came in first, and they didn't arrive with him!

I asked who they are asking after.

They said they would like to see either of mom or dad.

Ronke, go and call mommy.

Me, again? Come on, go and call mommy!

What do you mean by, you again!

Let's go, Peter.

Ronke, move your feet, come on! What's wrong with you?

It's not as if you don't have legs! What's your problem?

- Move aside, brother Peter... - They are here...

Come on, brother Peter!

-Good afternoon, madam. Good afternoon. how are you?

- Fine. - Erm, please... what's the problem?

We're conducting an investigation.

- Investigation... - Yes.

Can we speak to your mother?

Well, my mom is being called already, but if you don't mind me, asking...

What exactly, or should we wait for her?

We're waiting for your mother.

-[shouts] Aderonke!

Come on, I'm coming! Why are you shouting like that?

What's going on here?

What happened?

Mommy, they say they are conducting an investigation.

- Good afternoon, madam. - Good afternoon.

My name is Inspector David.

Okay.

I'm here for a very brief investigation.

So, we're conducting an investigation.

A mother reported a missing daughter.

Her name is Ada.

And, our investigation team, was able to track her phone location, to this address.

While checking her call logs,

we discovered she called one Chuka.

Please, do you know any Chuka?

That's my son.

But, what has my son got to do with a missing child?

As I said earlier, we're still investigating.

Listen, erm...

the Chuka you're talking about is my son, but he's not around.

And erm, I trust my son.

My son has to be the most decent son, ever.

If it was my daughter, my youngest child, Temitope,

I won't argue with you because I know she's stubborn.

But even she has relocated to America.

I trust my son.

My son does not talk.

He's always in his room, but he's not around now. So...

You have the right to defend your children. It's motherly instinct.

It's not about defending my kids.

It's about the fact that I'm being honest. It's the reality. It's the truth.

My kids have to be the most decent,

most reliable,

the neatest,

say anything positive, those are my kids.

That a mother, father, relative would pray to have such kids.

So, I don't know what you're talking about.

But anyway, we're law abiding citizens.

So, anytime you want to come, please do.

It's okay.

Is that why you left the gate open?

Yes, ma.

Oh, so you left the gate open because of that!

Talk!

Answer me.

Thank you so much for coming. You can leave.

Close the gate.

Okay ma.

Madam, we'll be coming back for more investigation.

No problem.

- In case we need more information. - No problem.

- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.

Boys...

[shouts] Ronke?

What's the problem? Will you ever stop shouting?

What's wrong with you?

- What? - Sorry, daddy.

Your mother will shout from the kitchen, all the way to the market!

You're not her apprentice, or are you?

I can't handle two radio stations in my house, come on!

What the heck!

- What's going on? - Sorry.

Always shouting, what?

Daddy, you're dressed up again...

You just came back from work. Are you going back to work?

I'm going for Igboamaka Amalgamated Union meeting.

You know I'm the Vice President...

Erm daddy, did mommy tell you about the police officers that came?

Yes, she said she has handles it. She said,

Oh my good God!

This offensive odour persists!

Yes, Ronke sprayed something. I mean I told her to spray air freshener...

What, what did she spray? See...

Something has died in here!

This is the reason I tell you people to stop leaving that kitchen door open!

Maybe a rat has died in here, or a family of rat!

They must have died in here! You people should spray something here!

Perhaps everyone should leave this house, and we fumigate the place!

I'll, I'll tell mommy.

What the heck!

- Alright, daddy. - Okay.

[shouts] Ronke?

Aderonke?

- Aderonke! - Yes, mommy?

Aderonke, Seyi, Oluwaseyi, come, come!

You went to the club!

After all the teaching, oh my!

- This girl has messed me up! - I'm here praying! I didn't go anywhere!

You didn't go anywhere, but see!

Loom at this!

Look at her!

She even put a fire emoji on it!

Look at it!

They have even sent the video to the church WhatsApp group!

Oh, I'm so in trouble!

Look at this!

Listen...

- Listen... - Halleluyah fam...

-Halleluyah family, -My goodness!

Please, watch out oversabi aunty's child in the club!

Jesus!

- This is Ronke in the club, dancing naked! - No, I wasn't naked...

This is oversabi aunty's daughter, so we should deliberate.

What should we do with her? Should we remove her from the church group,

and remove the children from the youth group too?

Mommy, there's nothing wrong with the video, don't mind what they are saying...

- There's nothing in this video? - Mommy...

There's nothing wrong, she wasn't naked...

Come on, stop it, mom! What is it?

Leave this girl alone, come on!

Mom, she's not naked in the video! We can clearly see!

- She's 23 years old! - I was not naked, I was wearing clothes...

Will you shut up! Can't I see that you're not naked?

That's what I was saying!

Mommy, she is 23 years old! She is Genz. She was dressed okay!

She wasn't naked at all!

The only reason you're making it a big deal,

is because of you, and your self-righteous attitude!

You'll be putting mouth in other children's business,

that's why they are putting mouth in your children's business too!

The children that you've neglected!

You've abandoned us!

You don't know how your children live! You don't know how your children feel!

You don't know anything about us!

All you know how to do is keep shouting all over the house!

It's enough!

- It's... - [Sharp slap]

How dare you speak to me like that?

I am your mother!

Even the bible says, a child that refuses good advice, and is defiant,

will perish without warning!

How dare you speak to me, your mother, like that?

Do you want to perish?

Do you want to perish?

- If you say a word again... - Will you leave me alone!

What is it? Get outside!

Get outside right now!

What's wrong with you? What are you scared of?

Why are you shaking? Who beat you?

If anybody says anything, you're not naked!

I'm telling you today, this is your father's

house, and nobody is going to do anything to you!

And I promise you that!

You're not naked in this video, and I'm going to stand by it!

Nobody or nothing is gong to make you sad in this house!

In fact, this night, we're going out!

Let me see who's going to come and stop me!

Rubbish!

Jesus! Jesus...

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Seyijesu, Oluwaseyi...

I'm done in!

Jesus...

I'm just trying to show my kids...

the way...

the light...

Jesus...

Jesus...

Oluwaseyi...

Aderonke...

Chuka...

Temitope...

Take your phone,

that I seized.

Temitope...

I know,

I have hurt you.

Is there anything you want to tell me?

I'm your mother.

I need you to talk to me. open up to me.

Please.

You will not shout?

Shout?

Do I shout?

It's okay. It's okay.

I promise you, I will not shout.

And God is my witness, I will not get angry as well.

I'm not happy about the fact that you don't listen to any of us.

Okay...

And your, your (oversabi) self-righteous attitude is too much.

The way you act like a police to other people's children,

but when it comes to yours, you just don't listen to us.

All you do is just shout us down whenever we want to say things.

Mommy, you don't even let me enjoy my ten years!

Like they are a lot of things I want to, places I want to go,

but all you just do is; have you prayed? Did you pray?

You just talk about prayers all the time!

Mommy, I understand that prayer is a very good thing,

and I pray too.

I love prayer the way you taught us,

but...

it just affects my teenage life a lot, because that's just all you talk about.

You don't get to talk about things that really matter to me, mommy.

And, about...

the pregnancy, I'm so sorry, mommy.

I, I know what I did was so bad, and I know,

that it is so wrong, but,

I just don't have anyone to guide me, or to tell me when to stop...

some certain things that I love to do.

Now, I'm here.

This mistake will not define you.

I promise...

Look at me...

This pregnancy, we're not going to hide it again.

I'm never going to judge you again, I promise.

Never.

So, whatever you want to say, be free with me.

Okay?

Mommy, I also want to tell you about Chuka.

Chuka?

- Mom... - What about Chuka?

I saw the police...

Yes, they came, they said one...

- They are looking for Ada, right? - You know Ada, too?

I know Ada, mommy.

Chuka's girlfriend.

- Chuka's girlfriend? - Yes, mommy.

Chuka has...

No, no, I'm just...

I'm not going to shout.

In Jesus name, I'm not going to shout.

Chuka has a girlfriend?

Mommy, there's a lot you don't know about us.

Ada is Chuka's girlfriend.

Chuka's...

So...

- They say, she's missing. - Yes.

Mommy, the other day when you guys travelled to Ibadan...

Okay?

I saw her entering Chuka's room.

- So... - She came...

Sorry, sorry sorry, sorry.

I'm just trying to get used to it. I promise you...

Ada came into this house, into Chuka's room?

- Yes. - Entered Chuka's room?

- Yes mommy. - SO, where is she?

I don't know. I did not see her leave.

She did not leave this house.

She came, but you didn't see her leave?

At all. And when I was in my room, I heard a bang.

And I was like, what's going on, and I went to check up on him

I was like how are we going to spend the weekend,

but he just shouted at me and chased me away.

I was like,

I didn't know if anything was wrong, but I was like, okay.

Let me get it...

Ada came...

- Yes. - But you did not see her leave.

- She did not leave, mommy. - I'm in trouble!

And you know that awful smell that we've been perceiving?

Yes?

It's coming from that side, and I'm like...

- what is, I'm just scared, like... - It's okay.

It's okay.

My dear!

Come on, what is going on?

You kept calling me! Why? What happened to Chuka?

And, who is Ada, really?

You said you can handle this police matter!

What's going on? I was having my meeting!

I was with Igbo Union!

What's going on? Igboamaka union...

Don't shout!

- What with... - I said, don't shout!

[muttering]

What is it again?

There's fire on the mountain!

- Fire? - Yes!

What is it? Come on, talk!

- Babe, don't shout! - Then talk!

- I went to meet, Tope... - Yes?

Tope now explained to me that, truly...

- Come, come, she said... - Yes?

- She said, truly... - Truly, what? Come on!

- The Ada, girl... - Yes? But who is this Ada?

- She said she is Chuka's girlfriend. - So what?

- She said when we went to Ibadan... - Yes?

That truly, she came to the house.

That when the girl came, she saw her go in, but didn't see her leave!

I don't understand what's going on, and that same girl has been missing!

This smell, I don't know!

Let's just go to Chuka's room!

Chuka?

Why is this place smelling bad like this?

I'm done in! Somebody, please help me!

Help me!

Erm first of all..

You'll come and spray in here later, but first, erm...

Boy, you know I call you the king of this family, right?

You're a man, do you understand?

Okay.

You are a lion.

You are a lion, and you cannot be hyena.

You cannot be a slave in your house, okay.

No mater what you do, you know me.

I will stand by you.

Your father will stand by you, okay?

So, please...

just, be firm...

We're going to take this, step by step. First of all,

Who is Ada?

My dear!

I have, I told you! I have seen Ada...

with him, once.

And the sister said, she is Chuka's girlfriend!

Listen, Chuka...

My dear,

Akande,

A child of wealth and grace...

My dear, please look at me.

You suckled at my breasts...

I carried you in my womb for nine months...

I promise, in the name of the father, son and holy spirit, that I will stand by you!

Tell me, please...

What do you know about Ada?

This has become a serious problem!

Just tell me the truth.

Come on, talk like a man!

We can't be begging him...

You are a lion, okay!

What is it? What?

You know who your father is! Where is this girl?

- Where is Ada, please? - Tell us. I'm your mother!

Wardrobe?

Is she inside the wardrobe?

Wardrobe?

Wardrobe!

- I'm in trouble! - Inside the wardrobe?

Oh my God!

Chuka!

My dear? My dear? My dear?

My dear!

Hey, hey, Chuka! Hey!

Oh my goodness! Chuka!

Chuka! Oh God!

God, why did you do this to me?

Oh, these children have done us in!

They have killed us!

I taught you people the way of the Lord!

There's nothing you people want, that I don't give you!

Because of you, I'm a full housewife!

So that I can monitor you all!

So I can take care of you!

You have killed me!

Chuka...

Chuka!

- Chuka, you have killed me! - But mommy...

-Mommy, -Mommy, what?

- You don't listen to me! - What?

- You, you don't listen to any of us! - Listen to that!

Listen to that!

- You see... - Mommy, stop it!

Stop it!

Do you listen to us? Do you?

You treat us like prisoners in our own home!

You're supposed to be our mother!

- Not our jailer! - Will you shut your mouth!

- Quiet! - Let them talk, please!

I will not sit here, and watch you,

watch you shout at your mother, are you listening!

Let her insult me!

Aderonke, Temitope, don't I listen?

I don't listen. No problem.

No problem!

- No problem... - We have a dead body in this house!

- No problem! - What do we do?

- I'm calling the police! - Mommy! Mommy!

I'll curse you if you beg me again!

Temitope, you know you're pregnant, sit over there!

- I'm calling the police! - It's fine.

Mom, call the police.

No, let her call the police!

You're standing up to me?

Who is the murderer?

Erm...

Officer,

What?

Babe, please I need you to take care of the kids. It's okay.

Mommy, mommy...
