Original subtitles

I am ready.

Look at you, you haven't finished dressing up.

Can you see him? Don't hurry up.

Don't mind him.

- Don't hurry up, Idiot! - Uh-oh.

Take it easy, these kind of things are not good.

You always insult the child, it's not good.

I won't only take it easy,

you might as well beat me because of your son.

- Hmm. - Don't be angry.

What about the math set?

It's the math set I spoke to you about

please give me the money, let's give him to go to school.

You spoke to me about math set?

Yes, mathematical set.

Why won't you buy a math set, is the one that...

What happened to the one you had before?

He said what happened to the one you had before? Speak up now.

I bought a math set for you and you misplaced it?

Don't mind him.

There's something wrong with you, idiot!

I bought something for you

and you misplaced it out of stupidity.

The last time we bought math set for this boy

was when he was in JSS3, now he is in SS2

we're supposed to buy another one.

So, I have to buy math set every day?

It's not an everyday occurrence.

Is it because of N300 that you're shining your eyes like this?

Won't he go to school?

So, N300 is ordinary?

If it is ordinary, go and get N3000 and give to your son.

Aren't you the head of the house?

As for me, I don't have a dime to give you to buy a math set.

If that math set won't let you go to school today, no problem.

Take your shirt off and follow me to the site now! Now!

Two stupid people that I have at home.

If you don't want to go to school,

take your shirt off and meet me outside now.

Your father just received a call that has spoiled his mood

and he's trying to take it out on me.

You realize I'm the one he's insulting and not you.

But don't mind him, you know what I will do?

Don't be upset.

Then, so be it.

What do you want me to do?

I already told you that when your father returns tonight,

I will get it for you.

You're still grumbling.

Don't tell me that if you miss class for just today you will fail?

Don't try to play smart with me and say you will fail in this house.

Because we will both die there, I have told you.

- No... - What nonsense is he saying?

What's my business if you miss class?

Your lunch money is under the tin, take it.

Lock the door and keep the key in the usual spot.

Don't come back to this house telling me you have failed.

Because you and I will kill ourselves.

What do you want me to do now?

I have heard you, when I get back,

I will make some sales at the shop and give you the money for the math set.

- Hmm... - Okay, smile now

and I will still help you get the money from your father in the evening

making it double for you.

Now go to school, take the money,

lock the door so, you don't get to school late.

How far, Nimbecile?

Isn't it you I am greeting?

Baba, they have busted us at the factory, NAFDAC, Police, EFCC, even SSS.

They all gathered acting formidable.

Should the boys lay low on the streets?

I told you these people think we're playing inter-house sports here.

Give them,

to God baba me, you know as we are like this.

We are Google Maps,

we will find anybody out.

Hello, baby, how are you? Peju, baby...

Son of a gun. Fine boy.

- I'm sorry. - Today you will go to hell.

Hey, quiet. Slap him.

Slap him.

Sulia, baby, the most talked about babe.

How are you, what's going on?

What's the difference between Sandra and Sulia?

Don't they both start with "S"? Okay, it's a special name.

Help me play this booking code.

Let me win, as I am.

I have ordered for a trip to Dubai.

I will go there to build a house and buy a car.

Area big man, you also come here?

You don't know how to play?

There's a transfer in January.

You'll be gone, you'll be sold to Congo.

Idiot, see as he's widening his eyes.

The program ought to have started.

They haven't started.

I came here, and I didn't meet you.

I'm just sitting in peace watching my TV program

and you're calling me an idiot?

So if I don't call you an idiot, you wouldn't know you're an idiot?

- Huh? - You're an idiot, of course.

I was watching something.

Didn't you know I was watching football and you changed the station?

So if you didn't meet me here,

when you came with your stupid and bad luck.

You want me to spell it out for you?

- Hmm? - Isn't my incarnation here?

So, you can't recognize my incarnation anymore?

You didn't see my incarnation? You are crazy.

I don't know why you're insulting me again this night, I don't want any trouble.

Get out, tah!

Am I to starve to death?

Isn't it the food that's cooking?

The food is on fire?

Whenever you're hungry, that's when you get upset and restless.

Is it me that you're calling restless?

If you're well born, you'll get up and go check the food that's cooking.

Dinner isn't ready for me to eat and you're eating ground nuts.

I wanted to eat it while watching my program.

What effrontery?

Benji, the son of Ikechukwu's mother?

I sent you to buy food and Benji poured it away?

What did you now do to Benji?

You want to turn to a bishop in my house?

If you were born well, leave that spot where you're standing.

You're crazy, I sent you to buy food.

He poured it away, and you are here saying you don't want to fight.

Today, you must fight.

You're the one that will die.

You will take your son to the hospital.

Make sure you teach this palm oil eating boy

and his useless father an unforgettable lesson. You hear?

The only thing that can make you stop that is if this boy is truly a bastard boy,

and he doesn't beat this boy.

Benji, you're not a bastard, you're just like your father.

You're the one always causing trouble on this street.

My son, please.

Thank you, my son.

Yeah!

Don't let them fight.

Yes, you're coming up, you're coming up.

If your mother was well born, you come back home.

I know one day, I will get my own child...

that will be a true reflection of me.

I always say it, that it's not everyone that is called "papa"

that deserves to be a father.

And no man, no father will send his child to fight like a tout.

He will come to claim this stupid boy, because I am not his father.

- You're not his father, right? - His father will come to claim him.

- You're not his father, right? - I'm not his father.

You're not his father, right?

You're the one that know where you got him from.

You know what? Today, you will show me the father of this child.

- Huh? - You keep saying it

and I always keep quiet. You think I am stupid I like you?

- You know what? - Who is his father?

- If you were born well... - If you were born well too...

- If you were born well... - If you were born well too...

- Because of your bad luck... - You are bad luck too.

- You just stand up and come to meet me. - You can't do anything.

Is this what your mates are doing?

- Don't just stand up, come and meet me. - Is this what your mates are doing?

- Tell me. - You know all the time you act

like Jackie Chan and Jet Li,

but today, I have your time.

What are you saying?

What are my mates doing that I am not doing?

What do you know how to do? You're just tall for nothing.

You don't have anything at the top and bottom,

everything about you is useless.

How am I bad luck?

I know one day, I will get my own child...

That I would be proud of.

I don't know where they brought you from...

Peace be unto you my brother.

And peace be unto you too!

Please can you all kindly give us some privacy?

My brother, I didn't know you are in town?

I came in last night for a quick business meeting.

Hope you are good.

Yes, I am.

You don't often come to this area anytime you are down here in the west.

You are right, my brother.

I need a trusted truck driver that could move stuff for me.

What kind of stuff are we looking at?

Stuff you don't want the authority to know about.

I think I may know someone.

His charges may be on the high side though.

If you trust him, money won't be an issue.

Okay. Give me a few minutes. We would go see him now.

Sure. The house is wonderful, I swear.

I really like it. We'll have privacy there too.

No one can poke nose into our business.

Anyway, have you gone to see the house agent, you've paid 150k right?

Yes, I told you. It's remaining 50k to balance up.

That's right, queen of my heart.

What's up?

I'm fine, boss.

I'm here, what's the matter?

Excuse us here.

Don't teach that boy bad things, you know your ways are not straight.

You will be the one to deflower me, you own me.

How will I know that I am the first to get there?

No, tell me, how will I know?

Go and get me small bottle of gin before going out.

I've told you we're getting late for church,

he can't go to buy anything.

What you are doing doesn't make sense,

you keep asking him to buy alcoholic drinks.

Nimbe, pick up your bible, let's go to church we are getting late.

Are you insinuating that I cannot send him on an errand again?

That you should tell your son not to listen to his father again?

You want to start your problems this morning?

- Aren't you bad luck? - Who is bad luck between both of us?

So indirectly, are you crazy?

You're telling me my life is ruined?

I didn't say so.

You're telling me my life is ruined, isn't that what you're saying?

- I didn't say so. - Hello?

I will give you a dirty punch.

I will give you a dirty punch.

Baba Nimbe, you didn't even ask me

about the preparations for my sister's wedding?

They called asking us to contribute money again

but I have told them that I will send my portion next week.

I have told them. That's how... Excuse me.

My sister called me that she would be coming from Calabar next weekend.

So I said, "Thank God she mentioned it early."

Because if she didn't and I mention it to "Baba Nimbe",

he will ask why I didn't tell him.

That's the mirror I use to dress up and look pretty.

You cooked food, the food tastes like wood someone cannot eat it.

A mad person cooked for a fellow mad person.

You see,

two mad people are eating the same food,

why won't it be sweet to them?

Is this food? Tell me!

You will be squeezing you face all the time,

especially with the fact that you're not even handsome.

You now make matters worse by squeezing your face.

These things break my heart.

So, I'm talking like a brainless person?

You're in the best position to know what's wrong with you.

So, if you say you're talking like a brainless person,

you're on the right track.

So you now have the effrontery to walk out on me. Are you sick?

Is it raining?

Why did you hiss, what kind of thing is this?

Your son has turned to a ninja. Jackie Chan.

I'm talking to you.

Nimbe! I'm dead.

Nimbe! I'm talking to you and you're locking the door.

Hmm. You don't want to open the door,

I don't know the devil that has possessed you.

It will be resolved when I get back from the shop.

We will both die there today.

I was asking you where you slept and where you were coming from

but you're acting deaf, right?

No problem.

Your money is at the usual place. Don't be late to school, open this door.

You want two, right?

- Thank you! - Please patronize us again.

Uduak, what's wrong?

It's my son that's troubling me.

That's not my son anymore.

I've noticed that he has changed.

He doesn't talk to me like he used to anymore.

He hissed at his father, he even stood firm and faced his father.

I was talking to him, he walked out on me.

What you need to do is to commit him unto God's hands.

And back him up with prayers, because you can't follow him everywhere he goes.

Hello, bring down the volume. Thank you!

Boss! Boss!

You see these three cakes right here,

are from the boys, for celebration.

Or am I telling lies?

The love is there, we arranged it as a unit to celebrate your birthday.

Boss, I am so happy for you.

Peju, you look good.

But boss,

you that "Oyinbo say". Okay, sorry, no Oyinbo say.

Boss, don't worry, what is a birthday gift?

We have given you more than birthday gift, our lives,

we are willing to die for you.

Fine boy, what do you say?

Anywhere you go, we will go with you.

No problem.

Three gun shots in the air for AK.

I thought you were coming right behind me, where did you stop over?

Don't be upset.

It's your people that delayed me.

What's all this? I just thought we would sit and gist.

Now, look at what you're doing.

I have been very patient with you, what's the matter.

Do I look like a stone?

What is it? Calm down, can't someone joke with you anymore?

Now talk to me, I can hear you.

Please, please, I have told you before. Peju, it can't work,

AK doesn't listen to stories.

Here is your feeding allowance.

And make sure you go to school in time so that you're not late.

AK, what did I do to you?

Tell me what did I do to you?

Everyone gather here.

What have I done to you that makes you want to spoil my life?

What have I done to you that makes you want to spoil my life?

That the boy comes here instead of going to school?

I am begging you in God's name, please give me my son, let me go.

- I will die here. - Aunty Uduak. Aunty Uduak.

-Please give me my son, -Get up, get up. Don't worry, go home.

- I want to take my son with me now. - Go home. Your son will meet you at home.

If you don't bring my child, AK.

- It's okay. - You didn't even think about

how much I have suffered.

He's my only child, if you don't bring him I will kill myself, I will kill myself.

It's because you have now gained access to Paradise.

You're starting to lose your senses.

You now disobey your parents, right?

Don't you know that the white men said,

"Parental Guidance is what, is a manufacturing agency".

I will slap you, you will start menstruating.

You don't even consider how much I have suffered for you.

What do I have?

Is this how all my mates are?

What do I have?

And I have suffered a lot for you.

How could you do this to me?

I now see you with boys who don't have a bright future.

I'm your mother, I don't need you to beg me.

What I want is for you to stop going to that place.

I don't want you doing that thing anymore.

That thing kills people.

You're the only hope I have.

You're the one I'm living for.

Do you want people to make jest of me because of you?

Do you want my enemies to make jest of me?

But they're starting to laugh at me.

You broke my heart and I am really hurt.

I've suffered a lot.

I don't have anything, you're all I'm depending on.

If anything were to happen to you, my life will be ruined.

Please go and sit down. Is it because of blue jeans,

that you turned the whole house upside-down?

Like you've been fighting with someone.

If someone doesn't do you favors, you will complain.

I have washed them.

- What's wrong? - You did what?

I washed them with the other clothes. I've said I was going to fight you.

You packed all your jeans and so many dirty clothes was put there.

Like I'm your house helper.

I have washed them, they are on the line in the backyard.

You washed what?

Don't I wash your clothes normally?

Yes, I did of course.

What sort of person is this?

I'm still going to fight to death in this house today.

My life is ruined.

My life is ruined.

This woman has ruined my life.

This woman has ruined my life.

Uduak has ruined my life.

Uduak, I will kill you in this house.

You have ruined my life! I knew you had bad luck.

Oh, my life!

See, 1.5-million-naira ticket.

You washed it away.

I didn't know there was 1.5 million in the pocket.

I beg you in God's name, please don't be angry.

I'm going to die today.

See, Uduak, I am boiling right now, and I don't want to kill anybody.

Pack my things?

- Where do you expect me to go? - Uduak!

Where do you expect me to go?

Where do you expect me to go? I beg of you in the name of God.

Where do you expect me to go? I beg of you in the name of God.

This is the work of the devil.

I beg of you in the name of God, I don't have anyone.

You're the only one I have.

You must be mad!

Get Out! God will punish you!

I'm still begging you in God's name.

- I'm done packing up. - Eight, nine, ten!

What sort of thing is this?

Drink some water to calm you down.

I don't understand why he will chase you out of the house because of bet money.

How much is the money, by the way?

It's because of common 1.5 million naira

that my husband chased me out of the house.

One point what?

1.5 million.

It's a lot of money.

But that doesn't warrant him kicking you out of the house.

My husband even called me bad luck, he said I'm bad luck.

Uduak, don't worry about that rubbish he's saying.

You and I know that you're not bad luck.

See, he's very upset right now.

After some time, he will calm down.

This is my home, and you're welcome to stay here.

I don't want you worrying yourself.

Hey, you think you're smart.

You now have guts, right?

And say what? Except you want this child to grow up without a father.

I beg you. Please!

You know I love you.

You know I love you so much.

But with the current situation of things, we can't keep this, baby.

Please, I'm begging you. This is not the right time.

We'll just terminate it.

Hey! Nimbe, calm down, what's wrong with you?

Who is that? Please chill.

You'll just be knocking the door like...

What's the problem?

Deep into my bones.

Are you sure you will not repeat such again?

Are you sure of what you're saying?

Uduak, if anyone told you I could come here to beg you.

Would you believe it?

If I was going to do such again, I wouldn't have come here.

Please, forgive me. Please.

Now look at your son,

he can't even have a father to son discussion with you.

He doesn't feel any fatherly love from you.

Everything we do gets you angry.

You never appreciate anything we do.

It's not fair.

Put yourself in our shoes.

Ask anyone. It's not done anywhere.

When did Nimbe start coming here?

And hanging with these bad guys?

When was it?

Are you okay?

Don't you know that's your father?

You're going crazy.

You know what? I don't have time to talk to you.

Papa Nimbe, don't be offended.

We will settle it all at home.

You have also broken my heart before.

So, we will settle it as a family.

If you don't answer,

I will lose my temper and go stark naked here.
