[music continues dramatically]

["Aya mi" by Dhortune playing ]

[man] I think the first time I met your mother was uh…

I think um…

It was Democracy Day,

29th May, 2000.

[in Yoruba] Right? [chuckles]

[man] It's like we were destined to be together.

♪ ...The way I feel about you is... ♪

[woman] Come oh.

Where were you again?

[man] Here I am.

[woman] Yes, yes, yes, yes. There you were standing, waiting

for your friend to bring you a babe.

[man] Ahn-ahn. No, now.

[woman] Ahn-ahn. What is "no"? You remember, now?

That your friend that said eh…

Listen, Banky, there's this babe I want to introduce you to.

I'm sure you will like her. [chuckles]

[woman] But your father had other things on his mind that day.

[woman clears throat] So he replied:

"You know, I think, I'm going to get myself a drink, my man".

[woman chuckles] And he left.

[man] Ahn-ahn, that's not the way I talk.

[woman laughing] What do you mean?

- [man chuckles] - [woman] That is exactly how you talk.

Right, Helena? Isn't that how your daddy talks?

Daddy, that is exactly how you talk.

Actually, that's how all college professors talk.

That's preposterous.

Right? Chidi, is that true?

["Aya mi" plays on TV]

Anyway, where were we?

[man] The bar was downstairs and I…

I needed to get a Chapman.

However, I wasn't the only one who wanted that Chapman.

- [soft music playing] - [mom laughs]

[dad] It was love at first sight.

[mom speaking Igbo] No, no. Please my dear,

[mom in English] speak for yourself. Me oh,

I did not even notice you that night.

- [Helena laughs] - [dad speaking pidgin] Oh please.

[dad] I saw your smile when I said: "Hello."

- [Helena laughing] Aww. - [man laughs]

[Helena] My favorite part,

Daddy about to shoot his shot that made you fall in love. [laughs]

- [mom] Yes. [laughs] - [Helena laughs]

[dad] She said, "Um, excuse me, do you want it?"

And I said: "Uh, we could share, if you don't mind."

With the sweetest smile that I've ever seen.

[soft music plays]

[dad] No, I don't.

- [Helena laughing] Ooh. - [dad laughs]

- [Helena] And then you fell in love. - [mom] No, no.

[mom] That's not when it happened.

[mom] That happened much later.

In the car park, later that night.

[Helena] Ahn-ahn. Chidi, why did you turn off the TV?

We're getting to the best part.

Ahn-ahn. It's time to pack the TV.

Aren't you tired of hearing this same story over and over again?

Tsk. Rotimi, please bring my wallet.

So is that why you turned it off? Is it your story?

- That's why you don't have a girlfriend. - [mother] Shh.

- Ehn? Daddy, Mommy, are you listening-- - [mom] No, no,

- she was just joking. - Daddy, Mommy, continue the story.

Chidi, your wallet is in my pocket.

And by the way, Helena, you won't come and help us pack?

- [mom] No, no, no. - You're over there just--

You people should not harass my baby.

[in pidgin] Unbelievable!

- Baby of the house. - Yes!

Hmm. Helena come, come. Please come and help us.

- Honey? - Hmm?

[Rotimi] Ew!

- Aww [giggles] - [mom] Go away.

[mom] Go and pack your things.

- Do you have everything? - [voice on TV] You are watching...

[music from TV show]

[newscaster] The Lagos State Governor, His Excellency, Governor Coker Adediran

in a statement today has defended his decision

to sack 47 senior lecturers of the Lagos State University

who have been on an indefinite strike.

Speaking to journalists today at the state house, Governor Coker

reiterated his stand not to bargain with, according to him,

saboteurs who are bent on ruining the state's education sector.

Senator Lukman Adediran has again this morning been

invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission

over fresh corruption charges.

Look at this clown.

Imagine this idiot calling us saboteurs.

So, what?

We cannot go on strike again?

I'm highly disappointed that Coker turned out like his uncle.

[scoffs]

Ify, please let's get ready to leave this… this house.

- Chidi. - Hmm?

[in Yoruba] Take this.

What? Oh. Thanks.

[in pidgin] Damn! Man, bro, is daddy really this broke?

I mean, how can we be moving from Lagos to a village?

It is not the village. It's the family house, relax.

Hmm. Who wants to stay in that incomplete building with you people?

[in pidgin] Unbelievable.

At least we have a place to stay.

And by the way, why are you even complaining?

You're going to the university in a second so like what's your problem? Please!

[Chidi singing] ♪ Why my papa no be Dangote? ♪

[Rotimi chuckles] God, you're a fool.

When Adenuga is there, you're talking about Dangote.

Afterwards, you'll say you're smart. Ehn, Rotimi?

Let me tell you something. Dangote's money will buy…

in fact, it will employ Adenuga ten times!

Is… is he Bill Gates?

- [mobile phone beeps] - Just… please.

Talk with sense.

- Oh, now! Come on, man! - What happened?

Grey Jones said 2Baba is ready to hear my demo if I can come today.

Man, this poverty is a bastard!

What demo?

- What do you mean, what demo? - What demo?

- [Chidi singing] - This one, now.

- [music playing] - Oh. [chuckles] Yeah. Mad oh!

- [in pidgin] You're feeling it, right? - Mm. Sick beats. Sick beats.

- [chuckles] I'm telling you. - Antoine, get that box for me, guy.

- [in pidgin] Chidi, let's move, now. - Sir, did you sing this silly song?

- [in pidgin] Hey, who's talking to you? - [Antoine laughs]

- Mind your business oh! - Oh… snap! [chuckles]

[Antoine in pidgin] It's not a good song. [laughs]

- Is that what we're here for? You're-- - See yourself?

Rotimi!

[Rotimi] Why are you calling my name? Aren't you the one that did this?

- Isn't it you that brought the box? - [Rotimi in pidgin] Please, please...

Let's pick these things up. I don't have all day.

How did you pack this thing?

- Chidi. - What?

[chuckles] Please come and see daddy's trousers.

- Where? - [chuckles]

Ahn-ahn! Hey! Dripping! [laughs]

Yo, who's this fine babe with them? She's hot.

Where?

Wait, isn't that…

[dramatic music plays]

[in unison] Governor Coker!

Everything is gonna be alright.

You know what you always tell me.

- It is well. [chuckles] - It is well, mom.

[sighs] Okay. Go and call your brothers, let's pray.

Okay.

Chidi! Rotimi!

- Doesn't make any sense. - It's so weird.

Chidi! Rotimi! Mommy said we should come and pray.

Yeah, yeah… we're coming, we're coming.

Are you going to say something?

- See you there. - Governor Coker.

[wistful music plays]

Senator Ade...

[family singing] ♪ Thank you, my Lord ♪ [mom praying] In Jesus' name...

[all] Amen!

Anybody who says it will not be well with this family

will not know sleep, in the mighty name of Jesus!

[Helena] Amen!

Lord God, Almighty, Almighty, Almighty...

we place the enemies of this family before you today.

Heavenly Father, let your judgment fall upon them,

in the mighty name of Jesus!

[all] Amen!

Hallelujah!

- [dad] Praise the Lord! - [Helena whoops, claps]

[Rotimi] I'm gonna go, see you guys outside.

- [Helena] I'll miss this house. - [mom chuckles]

Alright. Let's... let's go. Mmuah. Into the car.

[wistful music plays]

It is well. Hmm?

[mom in Igbo] Sorry. Hmm.

[dad in Igbo] Thank you.

[Helene] Say, "cheese"!

Cheese!

- Chidi, you're not saying "cheese". - [laughs]

Cheese!

Okay, I like it.

- Okay, thank you everybody. - Okay okay, time to go.

I hope nobody forgot anything? Rotimi, do you have your inhaler?

- Yes. - Good boy.

[Helena giggles]

Mommy, this AC is not cold.

[in Igbo] Sorry, my child. Hmm?

Once we hit the expressway proper, it will pick up.

[in Igbo] You hear?

Man, I'm going to wind down, this one is tough.

Um, daddy?

Yes?

Daddy, were you friends with Governor Coker?

Chidi, why are you asking that?

We found a picture of the both of you

with Governor Coker and Senator Adediran.

[squeaks] Interesting choice of trousers, daddy.

Fashion police would totally shred you if they saw this.

- [chuckles] - Let me see, let me see this.

Where did you find this?

Daddy, you haven't answered the question.

Were you friends with Governor Coker?

Coker was not a governor when that photograph was taken.

But he was your friend?

Daddy, you said a friend of yours invited you to the party where you met mom.

Was he the one?

Chidi, why is this the topic you want to discuss now, ehn?

- Mommy, I'm just-- - Please let your father drive.

I'm just asking a question.

Let your father drive, I said.

Daddy, who is this other pretty lady?

Her skin is popping.

Okay, what about Senator Adediran?

Were both of you friends with him as well?

[in Igbo] Chidi, what is wrong with you?

[Chidi] Mommy, there's nothing wrong with me.

I'm not the one that was friends with

a future governor and a future senator...

- and turned out like this. - Ehn?

What's that supposed to mean, Chidi?

- Are you out of your mind? - Honey, sorry,

Daddy, I'm just asking a question. It's not a big deal.

[mom] Chidi.

- Chidi! - No, no. Leave him.

Let him speak his mind.

I mean, I really love the handbag she's carrying.

- It's absolutely-- - [all] Shut up!

Tsk.

For your information, Mr. man,

there's no way your father could have been like Chief Adediran and his uncle.

And that is the reason why their relationship ended.

I guess... I guess that's why we're all stuck in this oven.

Is something wrong with you? It's enough of this rubbish!

Enough of this rubbish!

Ahn-ahn, what is wrong with you?

Don't you look at your brother and your sister

and be sensible like they are?

Look, Chidi, you're totally irresponsible!

- Very irresponsible! - Daddy, I'm not irresponsible!

- And stop changing the topic. - Yes, you're irresponsible!

- Daddy, I asked-- - You're totally irresponsible!

Daddy, I asked you a question and you're not answering

- You're changing-- - [in Igbo] Shut up your mouth!

Three years in law!

[dad] Not a single A in the six semesters!

You're not interested!

All you're interested in is investing your time in parties,

- stupid frivolities-- - No, daddy, that's not why.

It's because I'm not studying what I want to study.

All of that ends now, anyway.

- What's that supposed to mean? - What's that supposed to mean?

- I've transferred to study music. - [mom] What!

- [parents] What! - [car horn, cars screeching]

Are you mad?

[mom] Chidi. Are you mad?

Has something come over you?

You nearly caused an accident.

And you have the temerity to transfer to another subject without telling anybody?

[in Igbo] Please, [in English] where did this child drop from?

If you get out of this car,

[in Igbo] I swear to God, Chidi.

- Mommy, don't talk to me like that. - Chidi!

- I'm not a kid! I'm not a kid! - Open, open,

- Open that dirty mouth! - Mommy, mommy. Please, mommy.

-Open your mouth again, -Mommy, please. Mommy, please.

- Let me slap it for you. - Mommy please, please.

- I shouldn't talk to you like how? - Please.

- Please. - Ehn?

[soft music plays]

- [Rotimi] Please. - That is your father.

What manner of disrespect was that?

[mom] Ehn?

You think money is everything?

[in Igbo] Oh, let me tell you.

Money is nothing.

Integrity.

[in Igbo] Are you listening to me?

Integrity is everything.

You wanna know what happened?

That night at the party,

your father had the opportunity to join those bloodsuckers.

They gave him an offer that nobody else will refuse.

But your father said no.

You know why?

He refused to sell his integrity.

[soft music continues]

You don't know how lucky you are to be a part of this family.

[in Igbo] Let me tell you. Ehn? Let me tell you.

A little bread in quietness,

is much more than a house full of festivities and strife.

We need to get a mechanic.

And by the way, it's Proverbs chapter 17, verse 1.

Go and read it.

[in Igbo] Alright then, [in English] let's look for a mechanic.

Come out of the car!

- [Helena mumbling] Stop shouting at mom. - [Rotimi] Chidi, relax.

[Chidi] Come down! Come down!

[Chidi] I mean, how can you know somebody as

influential as the governor and still be broke?

Chidi, relax.

But imagine if daddy took the offer. Ehn?

Chidi, it's not like you can change the past so what's your problem?

And by the way, you went off for no reason.

Always doing too much.

Ah!

[mobile phone rings]

[mobile phone beeps] Hey… babe.

[chuckles]

How are things? How are you?

- We're just looking for the mechanic. - What? Right now?

Right now?

Yeah.

[in pidgin] Hey, sir.

[in pidgin] Good afternoon, sir.

Good afternoon. Um… please, we're... we're looking for a mechanic.

- Mechanic? - Yes.

[Rotimi] ...mechanic and we're passing...

Just… Just go there.

[in pidgin] You'll see a white house there. Over there. Go straight.

- [in pidgin] A white house there? - Just straight.

[in pidgin] Go straight, opposite a Coker signboard.

- Oh, okay. - [in pidgin] You'll see the signboard.

Thank you very much.

Chidi, where are you going?

Chidi. Chidi.

Rotimi, what? You heard that the mechanic is here.

Does this look like a mechanic's place to you?

Please don't start.

Guy, why are you going to this house? What's wrong with you?

Chidi…

Chidi, I swear... Chidi.

[spooky music plays]

- [in pidgin] Who's here? - Chidi.

Who is here?

[whispers] Chidi.

What's this place?

[spooky music continues]

Who's here now?

Chidi, this is not a mechanic's garage.

Please, let's go, let's go.

[door slams shut]

[mobile phone beeps]

Chidi, it's not opening.

- What do you mean, it's not opening? - It's not opening!

[in pidgin] Step aside! Can't you open door anymore?

[door rattles]

It's not opening! It's not opening!

See, [splutters] stop this joke!

- I'll break this door oh! - Oh my God!

I'll break this door oh!

- Rotimi, shut up and let me think! - What?

I'm supposed to be at a meeting with 2baba,

you're here talking about your silly girlfriend.

My silly girlfriend?

Nobody cares about your stupid meeting or your stupid music.

By the way, you can't even freaking sing.

What the hell is, "God when"?

Rotimi... Rotimi, it's like you're mad!

Something got loose in your head when we were time traveling, right?

- What are you saying? - You're the one that's mad.

You and that Babayaro. See what you've done.

It's not your fault. It's not your fault.

You sent us back to the year before we were even freaking born,

and you're shouting at me?

Rotimi… come, come.

What did you just say?

You're the one that is mad.

No… after that.

You sent us back to the year before we were even freaking born.

- Change your destiny. - What?

- Change your destiny! - What are you talking about?

Rotimi… look. What date is that?

May 29th 2000. What's your point?

Picture, picture, picture.

- Picture! - Chill, relax.

Look, Rotimi. It's the same day. It's the same day!

This is the day that dad met mom at Senator Adediran's party.

And?

What do you mean, "and'?

This is the party that mom said

Senator Adediran gave dad that mouth watering offer!

I've heard the story a million times, what's your point? Get to the point.

Rotimi, imagine if daddy took the offer!

[dramatic music plays]

Wait, are you saying you want to change the past to change your destiny?

This guy, this guy… I don't know where they got you from.

Look Rotimi, if daddy had ta... no,

when daddy takes the offer, I'm sure we won't be broke in 2020.

Chidi, this is what you're saying right now.

You can create a time paradox, alternate universes...

What if mom bumps into you and then she falls in love with you

eww, or…

she sees me and then she falls in love with me?

- Rotimi. - Or like we kill dad...

- We are going to that party. - How do we get back to the future?

Chidi. Chidi.

Man, check this out, man.

[rapping] You are my African Queen.

The girl of my dream.

You take me place I never seen.

Tsk. No, no, no, see.

How about we try it like this...

- [in pidgin] But this is nice. - No.

Ehen? Don't you look hungry too?

- You're very... Hmm. - Yeah. Rotimi,

2Face shook my hand.

- I... - Smell it, smell it. [chuckles]

No wait until I tell...

[in pidgin] Go ahead.

Who are you going to tell?

- But 2Face shook my hand, though. - We just saw history.

- 2Face shook my hand. - Wild. We need to get a cab.

[Chidi] Good afternoon oh!

Hello. Good afternoon, ma.

- That's nasty. - Mad.

[Chidi] Ugh!

[slurps]

- Ugh. - Ah.

[in pidgin] Ehen, where did you say you're going to?

Um, we're going to Senator Adediran's house.

Senator Adediran or Chief Adediran?

- Chief Adediran. - Chief Adediran's house.

That's Ikoyi, oh.

Okay.

That's 400 naira.

- Ehn? - 400 naira to Ikoyi?

Yes. Why are you people shouting?

Do you know how much we used to carry...

from here to Ikoyi, do you know

- how much we used to take before? - No.

Do you know? It's actually 500 naira they take

[Chidi] Yes.

[in pidgin] Really? Who invited you?

[in pidgin] Or rather, who do you know at the party?

- Uh… - Um…

[in pidgin] Just admit it. You want to go and beg for money.

We're not beggars.

You're not beggars.

- No, we're not beggars. - You're not beggars.

So how come you, these two ragamuffins…

how come you are going there?

[in pidgin] Or… wait, wait. Just hold on.

I hope it's not that you people are trying to rob me?

Maybe I should park this car.

Because if you're trying to rob me

[in pidgin] I swear to God, I will stab you people.

- No, no, no. - No, no, no.

[cab driver] I swear if you have the determination to rob me

[in pidgin] I will so stab the two of you.

I can even park now so you can know how mad I am.

- No, no, no. - They will not recognize you two.

So what are you doing there? I'm asking you a question.

[in poor English] Will you answer me?

We're going to look for our father.

Yes, yes, yes, yes ma.

- Your father? - Yes ma.

Okay I'm sorry for shouting at you, it's a slip of tongue.

So you're from a rich home?

Your father is Chief Adediran?

No oh. He's not oh.

His driver.

Driver?

- Driver? - Yes ma.

Ehen, I'm listening. I'm listening. So?

His new driver. So he stays there.

With his new wife.

With his new wife?

- Yes. - Yes ma.

[in pidgin] So where is your mother?

-Aha. -Um...

Um… yes. She has um... malaria,

typhoid and small yellow fever.

- [cab driver] Oh sorry. - [Chidi sobs]

- Eh? Hmm. - Yes ma.

[in pidgin] Your problems are plenty.

Thank you ma.

[in pidgin] You're looking for your father, your mother is sick.

- Ehn? sorry ehn. - [sobs] Thank you ma.

You see what you're telling me just made

me remember what happened to us years back.

[in pidgin] My father sent my mother out of the house.

[in pidgin] He said my mother gave birth to girls.

[in pidgin] He sent all of us out of the house.

- Men are scum. - They're "scumb" oh!

- They're "scumb"! - Scum.

You understand?

[in pidgin] My father went to live with a woman...

- very crazy woman oh! - [Chidi] Ah!

[in pidgin] She really dealt with him

[in pidgin] A woman killed my father.

- [Chidi] Ah! - Guess what happened?

[in pidgin] Um. she gave birth to a boy?

[cab driver] You're a fool. You're a foolish person.

[in pidgin] What? My father died in the woman's arms!

- Ah! - Just like Abacha.

I'm sorry to hear that.

[in Yoruba] What nonsense "sorry" is that?

I'm happy! I'm flabbergasted! I'm excited!

That day, if you know how we jumped

[laugh] We were happy.

[in pidgin] You know that time Abacha died?

- Ah, we were happy. Very happy. - We were happy.

[in pidgin] That's the exact thing we did when we heard our father died.

- [in pidgin] I was so happy. Hey! - Hmm.

[in pidgin] And things are going to be good from now on.

[in pidgin] As Obasanjo is now president. It's demo... demo... "demoscracy".

- Democracy? - Democracy.

[in pidgin] That's it! Democracy.

- [Rotimi] Democracy. - [in pidgin] That's the era we're in.

[cab driver in pidgin] You know the military era has gone?

[in pidgin] With Obasanjo in power, he has promised to provide electricity

- Hmm! - [in pidgin] We'll have good roads.

- Hmm! - Good education.

- [muffled snickering] - Free education.

- NEPA, two-four-seven. - Hmm!

- [Chidi chuckles] PHCN. - Two-four.

- [in pidgin] But why are you laughing? - [boys laugh, cough] We're not...

[chuckles] It's just funny because--

[in pidgin] Don't you believe in vision 2020?

- [boys laugh] - [in pidgin] Let me tell you something.

[in pidgin] If Obasanjo does not do it, somebody else will.

- [Chidi chuckles] - [Rotimi] Hmm! Like Jonathan.

By the year 2020,

[in pidgin] may God spare my life till then,

[in pidgin] Nigeria will be like America.

-[Rotimi bursts out laughing] -[Chidi chuckles]

[in pidgin] I even heard that one dollar will be equal to one naira.

- [in pidgin] One pound will be one naira. - [boys laugh]

[in pidgin] In fact, we won't need visa to visit other countries

- [laughs] Don't worry, wait for Buhari. - [Rotimi] By His Grace.

And Jonathan as well. Change is coming.

- [in Yoruba] What do you mean by Buhari? - [Rotimi] Yes oh.

Are you talking about the children?

- [Rotimi] No, change is coming. - [Chidi] Yes oh, in fact, next level.

[in pidgin] In fact we will do it.

[chuckles] I'm sure there won't be generators.

- [laughs] PHCN! No generator. - Ah. By 2020. Hey!

[in Yoruba] You kids are making sense.

You have sense, you have sense.

[lively music plays]

What's wrong with this woman? What's wrong with this money?

It's year 2000, 1000 naira has not been printed yet.

They've not printed 1000 in the year 2000!

You have just been given a golden opportunity.

Take it, ehn! [laughs]

- Yeah but-- - [protests]

Banky, Banky no buts. Hmm?

See, come… see Banky,

you have just been given the opportunity of a lifetime.

Hmm? See Banky, for people like us from humble beginnings, ehn,

our opportunity in life may only come once.

Yes! So, you must take the job, ehn?

I want you to remove that consideration, erase it from your head.

You must take it, ehn? You must take it, ehn?

- Adekunle… - Gold. [laughs]

Yes, it's your job. [laughs]

Your workplace, your co-workers, they will come and go.

You see, 198... don't worry, don't let me start a story,

- [chuckles] - because time has gone.

But please make sure you take care of your mother very well.

And you, the way I'm looking at you

you look like someone that would not like taking care of a person.

And let me tell you, the curse that will be laid on you…

the curse that will heap on you if you don't take care of your mother

you will think it's another thing.

I will not say more than that.

Sorry, are you Babayaro?

Yes. This is a mobile phone from 2020.

[laughs]

Eh… mumbai phone.

The thing is, you sent us back here to change our destiny.

[mobile phone beeps]

- Change your destiny? - Yeah.

[Babayaro chuckles]

My father said once you change your destiny,

[in pidgin] you can't change it back.

That's what you said before you sent us over here.

Babayaro.

My brother and I want you to send us back to 2020.

Me? Send you back to 2020?

[mobile phone beeping]

- Um, yes. - Truth is...

- What's the problem there, Babayaro? - [chuckles]

[in pidgin] That is on my father's level.

[in pidgin] Captain, is it because I respect you?

[in pidgin] You insult me because I respect you?

[in Yoruba] Ehn? Do I look dumb?

- [in pidgin] I will beat you. - [in pidgin] You will beat me?

- [in pidgin] I will beat you! - [laughs]

[in Yoruba] I was asking them, I hope you didn't give me fake money.

[in Yoruba] I swear, you see. I accepted the money.

[in Yoruba] Those boys tried to confuse me, saying their mother was sick--

[in Yoruba] I said give me my money!

[in Yoruba] You know what will happen? Calm down! Don't act crazy.

- [in Yoruba] Give me my money! - [in Yoruba] Calm down.

[in Yoruba] You've finished eating the fish.

Calm down. [in Yoruba] I'm a regular. I'm not a new customer.

[in Yoruba] I swear. I'm going to kill someone.

[in Yoruba] I swear to God. I'm coming back.

- [in Yoruba] Pay me before leaving. - [in Yoruba] I'm coming back.

[in Yoruba] I'm going to kill those boys.

[in pidgin] Ah! I've never been duped before in my life.

- [in Yoruba] You've eaten all the fish. - [man] Captain, what kind of game--

[in Yoruba] Get off my car, you idiot.

- [Chidi] Change of destiny. - [drum beats]

[Babayaro in pidgin] What is that?

I think it's the... the red one.

- [electromagnetic sound] - [Babayaro] Okay.

[dramatic music playing]

[music crescendos]

[thunder and lightning]

Chidi?

Rotimi? Ah.

[knock]

[knock]

[opens door]

[comic tune plays]

I said, the red button.

What do you mean drop something for the ancestors?

Yes now.

Look we already bought you mineral and suya.

[in pidgin] Hey, get lost. That one was for me.

[in pidgin] Won't I eat?

- [squeaks] But we paid you in 2020! - Hey, unbelievable!

We gave you 5000 naira!

Babayaro we have nothing. We've given you everything we have.

- Is that so? Is that so? Okay. - Yes.

What about your mumbai phone?

You mean mobile phone?

Mumbai phone. Which one--

- You mean my own phone? Never! - Yes. Ahn-ahn.

Rotimi, what do you mean, "never"? Give him your phone.

Give him your own phone.

- [in pidgin] You'll both sleep here. - Rotimi, give him the phone!

- Give him your own phone. - Give him the phone.

- Give him your own phone. - What's your problem, Rotimi?

Look, Rotimi, it is the game that he's actually after.

Don't you want to go home?

- Tsk. I'm not giving him my phone. - Rotimi! Give him the phone.

[drum beating]

Give him, give him the phone.

[Rotimi] Don't talk to me. I'm doing--

[Babayaro] The gods are angry.

- Don't anger them. - Take. Alright, take.

- Hmm. [groaning] - Rotimi!

Anyway, there's no charger. So, it will die soon anyway.

Hmm, don't worry, I have charger.

I just happen to have my charger.

- In fact-- - Of course you do.

- Will you keep quiet. - Don't even talk to me, please.

- You're blessed. - The gods have answered you.

- Hmm. - See? The gods have answered me.

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic choir music playing]

[ringing dizziness sound]

[dramatic music continues]

[laughs]

Yes! We're rich!

We're rich, Rotimi.

We're rich. Look, look.

Look at these shoes. It's Helena's room.

We're in Helena's room, we're rich!

- We're rich! [laughs] - Chidi…

- What? - Chidi.

This is... this is not...

[in pidgin] Rotimi, stop doubting me.

We have money.

We are rich, Rotimi.

- Shh! - Call me Chidi,

Destiny Changer!

[man] Darling, hurry up.

You know the president won't be at the wedding for long,

and the girls, where are they?

- Girls? - Girls?

[dramatic guitar chords]

[man] Girls, can I come in?

Do we have another sister?

Helen just got engaged.

I think I'm running out of shampoo.

- [Rotimi laughs nervously] - [gasp]

[dramatic music plays]

[all scream]

Dad!

Daddy!

[spluttering] Come, come.

Who are you boys and what are you doing in my daughters' room?

[girls screaming]

- [girl 1] I want my daddy! - [girl 2 screams] They have to leave!

[coughing, panting]

- Chidi. - Ehn?

- Give me your phone. - Here.

[sighs]

Bro!

Dad is Governor!

Ah, what about mom?

[coughs]

- There's nothing here now. - Achike.

Oh, Ifeoma Achike, yeah.

Renowned Nigerian philanthropist and activist

Wait, mom is an activist?

That means her and dad didn't get married. But I thought that they were going to--

Wait, there's a video. Let's watch.

[soft music playing]

Ah!

Rotimi! Hey God. They didn't get married.

- Oh no. - Rotimi, they did not get married!

- They didn't get married. - Wait, wait.

- They didn't get married? - That's what I've been saying!

So if they didn't get married then that means...

that means you and I were never born.

That means... that means Helena was never born!

Ha! What have we done! What have we done!

Oh my God! Susan!

Susan won't recognize me, guy.

What's all this? Rotimi what have we done?

- We? - Yes.

No, what have you done Chidi? What have you done?

What do you mean, what have I done?

I didn't do anything.

You convinced dad to choose his career over mom.

And now they didn't get married.

How was I supposed to know they will not marry?

And besides, Rotimi, we did not do anything.

Look we just went there, and I went and I convinced daddy to...

By the way you need to stop saying, "we."

We messed up!

- We? - Yes!

You singlehandedly did this, Chidi.

Which one is singlehandedly? Did we not go there together?

It was not me that wanted to change our destiny.

It wasn't me that went to that party and messed everything up.

It's all your fault. It's all your stupid idea, Chidi.

Rotimi, mind how you talk to me, I'm not your mate.

I will talk to you however I want to talk to you!

You got us into this mess and it's all your fault!

[in pidgin] No problem. Get out then!

Go and talk to that your stupid imaginary girlfriend. Rubbish!

- My imaginary... - Tsk.

You know what, your own music is very stupid,

And by the way, 2Baba will never listen to that trash.

[mournful guitar music playing]

Rotimi!

Rotimi, what did you just say right now?

I said your music is trash.

What is trash?

[yells]

Rotimi, I will show you.

[ringing sound, voice faded]

[guitar music continues]

- Rotimi! - [coughing]

- Rotimi! Rotimi! - [coughing, choking]

- I'm sorry! Rotimi, I'm sorry! - [gasping]

Rotimi!

Rotimi, please!

[inhales]

[exhales]

Look, Rotimi. We have to find Babayaro.

This isn't reality.

How do you propose we do that?

Well, he shouldn't be that hard to find.

[soft music plays]

[yawns] Bro…

I'm really sorry.

I just... I thought it was what was best for me, for everybody.

Bro, I'm sorry.

Rotimi.

Rotimi.

[woman] Good morning, Mr. Babayaro.

Rotimi. Rotimi, he's here, he's here.

He's here. Come, come.

You! You used us right?

You used us to get all this money!

- And now, we're just-- - Hey, calm down! What's wrong with you?

Do you know how much this cost?

Ehn?

Is your father not the governor?

Are you not happy to see me? Come on!

Are you not happy to see me?

Ehn Rotimi? Well you, you have a problem.

Chidi, are you not happy to see me?

There's a problem, Babayaro.

- Problem? - Big problem!

And what's that?

Our father did not marry our mother.

What?

This is a very big problem.

A very big problem.

Do you see your brother?

[in pidgin] You see how his eyes close? His battery is very low.

- Yes. - Okay, um…

[Babayaro laughs]

- Babayaro, please. - Yes?

- Can you help us? - Help you do what?

Have you forgotten?

That when you change your destiny, you can never change it back?

I know you told us but you're Babayaro

so you can do something.

There is nothing I can do.

How about this?

What if we find someone that wants to change their destiny?

Rotimi, how's that supposed to work? Ehn?

- Nobody knows who we are here. - Ah, ah, ah.

Technically speaking we weren't even born.

- Wait, wait, wait. - What are you even saying?

I think I understand what he's trying to say.

- That can work. - Hmm?

Yes. [laughs]

- So you mean this can work? - Yes, it can work.

But you have to get the person.

Then help us. Please, help us.

Help you... it's like bed bugs are having a meeting in your head.

I should help you do what? Ehn?

I am the only one my mother gave birth to.

Listen, you have just three hours.

- Ehn? - Yes!

And your brother here, just two hours.

So you better know what you'll do.

Wait, wait. Babayaro, please wait.

- Three hours? Two hours? - Yes.

You better leave now to go and buy second hand casket, there's no time!

We're dying, bro.

- Bro, we're dying. - It's time we went to go and see mom.

What's your problem? Go and see who?

Chidi, that's the only other person we know here.

Rotimi she does not recognize us, she won't even know it's us.

It's our last chance.

There's no time for all this you're doing. You can fall down now and die.

Ah. Babayaro, please. I don't want to die.

I don't want my brother to die, please.

- You have to help us. - It's like God wants to punish you.

[muttering]

Why is she driving like that?

Is that mom?

[Rotimi] Guy, is that mom?

[soft music plays]

[in Igbo] Come, come.

Late to where?

What do you care, mother?

Helen!

[in Igbo] Helen, what is wrong with you?

I am your mother.

If I didn't get suspended, mother,

would you have come home today? Or tomorrow?

Or even after a week!

Right. You'll still be in Abuja saving the world

and being a mother to everybody else but your own daughter.

- Come. Come, come back here. - [laughs]

[soft music continues]

Where do you think you're going?

[in Igbo] Oh my God. Helen.

Helen, is this the girl I raised you to be?

[chuckling] Ah. Oh, you think this is a joke, right?

Okay. [in Igbo] Very well, then.

- No, no. What are you doing? - [in Igbo] You want to go to a concert?

Come and go to the concert, let me see.

[in Igbo] Go ahead.

I hate you. I hate you!

You're such a bitter old woman and that's why nobody ever married you!

Shut up!

Shut your dirty mouth.

Shut up!

[melancholic music]

I wish you never adopted me.

Helen.

Helen! Helen!

[door rattles]

Helen!

- Helen! - Helena!

Helena wait! Helena!

Don't ever call me that again! The name is Helen.

And who the hell are you both?

- I'm Chidi and this is Rotimi. - Rotimi.

Yes?

We're your brothers.

- My brothers? - Yes.

Are you people okay?

- What? - What?

Look, if you losers don't get the hell out of my face,

I'll redesign your faces and I'm not playing.

What's your problem?

- Helena! - Helena, this is important!

Helena! Helena!

Okay, look. Helena, look!

- See let me just... [screams] - Why?

- What's your problem? - What's wrong with you?

That's what you get for being a stupid stalker!

We're not stalkers, we're your brothers!

Helen! I don't have any brothers!

What do you people want?

- Sorry, hold on… - She sprayed pepper in my eyes!

Rotimi, she sprayed pepper in my eyes guy!

- Helena! - Guy!

- [Chidi groaning] - What's your problem?

My name is Helen! Okay? I don't have any brothers.

What do you people want?

We need to save our parents.

And how is that my business?

They're your parents too.

- Rotimi… - Chidi, I'm coming, I'm coming.

What are you talking about? My parents are dead.

[melancholic music]

[Chidi groaning]

- Helena wait! - [groaning]

Listen, just... I'm your...

Turn around, just put the pepper spray down.

I want to show you something.

Trust me.

You better not try anything funny.

It's not anything funny, just… look.

- [groaning] - Chidi, I'm coming.

Rotimi, there's pepper in my eyes.

Who is this?

Are you telling me my mom is married to the governor?

Ha! But they hate each other.

Mad.

Wait, wait. So let me get this straight.

What you guys are telling me is that

you went back in time to make sure your parents are rich.

You come back and he's the governor.

But he didn't meet your... my mom?

So they didn't get married because

you convinced him to take a job?

- [pants] - How?

[groans] Look, Helen.

Helen, we don't know, that's just what happened.

How then am I existing here if your... our parents didn't meet?

- [sighs] I mean, Rotimi sorry. - [groans]

Is it because I was adopted?

[mobile phone beeps]

Mm-mm.

You know, Helen.

Where we come from, you and mom are not like this.

How do you mean?

I mean, you're the last born of the house.

Mom wouldn't even let you carry boxes when we were moving.

And dad,

you were the apple of his eyes.

And mom's too.

Look, we may be moving to a village, but where we come from

you're happier.

I mean you have a family who love you.

There's me, Rotimi, mom, dad

- [coughing] - We love you.

Rotimi, what is it?

Are you okay?

- My head. - Sorry. Take it easy.

What's wrong with him?

The thing is we're not from here, we're not from this time

so we're really getting ill.

We need somebody to help us go back to the year 2000

so we can try to fix things. If not, Rotimi and I will stop existing.

- And you want me to do it? - Yes.

- You're our only hope. - Ugh.

We need somebody. If we don't try to fix things,

Rotimi and I will stop existing.

[soft music plays]

- [Chidi] Please. - Right.

Look, my mom just pissed me off and

right now I don't care about anything

I can't wrap my head around what you're telling me.

I'm afraid. I can't follow...

- Helena, wait. - Helena… please.

Helen, if you had the chance to change your life, wouldn't you?

Don't you want to be happier?

But you tried to change yours and look what happened.

Look, I don't know if I believe all this that you're telling me,

but it seems better than going back home to fight with my mom.

So, what do I do?

[electromagnetic buzzing]

[in pidgin] Look, with the way time is flying,

[in pidgin] I don't think there's enough

time to fix what you destroyed.

[in pidgin] Okay? So I'll give you what we call "jujufi" watch.

Take.

[laughs] Take.

[Babayaro] Wait.

[laughs]

Take.

[yells]Take!

[in pidgin] When you get there, don't do anything.

Just allow the time to flow naturally, okay?

Because your parents will meet each other at last.

- Okay? Are you ready? - Ready.

[laughs] Listen, this is your last chance.

Don't mess it up. Okay?

[chanting]

[glass breaks]

- Ah! - Sorry, sorry.

- Oh. - Sorry.

Sorry, bro.

I'm really sorry, bro. Please. I'm very sorry.

[Chidi] No, no, no.

This is not how it was supposed to happen!

This... What has happened? No, no, no.

Guys, I'm not feeling too good. Chidi…

- [in Yoruba] My people! - Chief, one picture please.

- Picture please. - Eh? Picture? Okay.

Let's take a picture.

- Good evening, Chief. - Hello?

I'm Ifeoma from the orphanage, sir.

Ah, Ifeoma! Come, join the picture.

- Banky! - Join us... join us here.

Uncle, Banky.

[in Yoruba] Ah! Baldie! [laughs]

Uncle, come.

- Come down? - Step here, sir.

[sighs] So…

Ehen…

[groans]

Yes.

Sir, I'm okay, sir.

- Thank you sir. - How can you be okay?

And stop this "sir." You see, call me Chief.

- [sighs] - [laughs]

So how is everything over there?

[sighs]

- It's been very tough since the new year. - Hmm.

Hmm.

The number of children we're caring for have tripled.

And the donations are not even up to half.

Hmm.

We need all the help we can get, sir.

- Is that so? - Yes, Chief.

The orphanage may shut down next month if nobody comes to our aid.

It's been giving us sleepless nights.

- Those poor children. - Hmm.

They may become not only motherless, but homeless.

Hmm. Ah! [clicks tongue]

[in Yoruba] It's not fair. Those poor children. What a pity.

Hmm… you know what?

I had wanted to give you a check for 20,000 naira.

But seeing you and your beauty, oh my God.

I changed my mind immediately.

So I have decided to give you a check for 200,000 naira.

- Hey Chief! Thank you! - No, no, no.

Thank you, Chief. God bless you. [laughs]

I don't even know what to say.

- How the children would be-- - Don't be too surprised.

That is Chief Adediran for you.

I believe in the golden rule:

"Give, and it shall be given unto you."

Thank you so much, the children will be so happy.

- Yes. - Thank you Chief.

- Thank you. - Look, just thank God.

Look, we're nothing but pencils in the Hands of the Creator.

- Thank you, Chief. - Yes.

Guy, what do we do?

Come on guys. I need ideas.

Chidi, think, think.

- Um, um... - [faintly] Guys...

Oh no, no, no. We can't let dad leave.

You need to go and get mom, okay? Um…

Bring her outside to her car.

Okay? Tell her she needs

-to re-park her car or something. -Chidi. Chidi...

- I am not talking to her-- - There's no time!

- Woah, woah, woah. - Rotimi! Rotimi.

- Rotimi, are you okay? - Are you okay?

You will come to Sheraton tomorrow

to pick up the check for 200,000 naira.

[guitar music plays]

Just like that. [laughs]

Yes.

Sir…

- What? - Why am I coming to Sheraton, sir?

Uh-uh, Ify…

- Ify. - Sir.

Are you a baby? Hmm?

You should understand.

- Excuse me sir, but... - Ahn-ahn. So what is happening?

Ehn? What is this? What is the meaning of all this?

- Relax. - [scoff]

Chief Adediran, please what's the meaning of this?

Come, come, come.

Ah, Chief. [gasps]

I think…

I'll just take my leave.

Ify. Ify.

I know this is all my fault, but I will do whatever

I need to do to make sure we get our family back.

Okay, you guys have to trust me. Okay?

Helen, we don't have any time, alright?

You need to get mom outside.

Tell her she needs to re-park or something.

We need her outside.

Even if you have to carry her on your head please

Please, you have to talk to her. Please.

Rotimi, are you okay?

- Please ehn, just manage. Manage. - She's here.

[Chidi whimpering] Ehn? Okay. You need to go and talk to her. Okay?

Right?

[Chidi] I'll go outside and stall dad. Okay. Please. Please.

Rotimi, I'm coming, yeah? Let me go and talk to daddy.

I'll fix this alright? I'll fix this.

I'll fix this, bro. I'll fix this.

[melancholic music playing]

Banky!

Hi. Hello.

Banky, you might not remember me but, er,

my name is er… Adekunle Gold [chuckles]

Yes, from the er, Command, er, er... Debate Club.

Yes.

Yes! JJ is my brother!

How's he?

[crying]

Ahn-ahn.

[soft music playing]

Hello? Madam?

Are you the one driving the Volvo?

You need to come uh… move it. You're blocking everybody.

[Ify sobbing] Uh, I'm sorry. I'm...

Are you okay in there?

[choked voice] I'm fine.

- What is it now? - [crying] JJ.

- What happened to him? - [crying]

- Is he okay? - [crying] JJ is dead.

[crying]

[sniffs, closes door]

Do I know you? [sobs]

No. No, er...

I just heard you crying inside and I needed to find out...

You know what? Somebody is downstairs waiting for you to come move your car.

- [wailing] - Oh. I'm so sorry.

- [sobbing] - My bad, my bad. Um...

- [sobbing] - I'm sorry… [whispers] What's happening?

- [sobbing] - Um, I'll uh, [whispers] What's happening?

[sobbing] That bastard.

[sobbing] That pervert.

- Your boyfriend? - No.

Chi-[sobs]

Chief Adediran.

Are you kidding… what?

What happened?

[crying] I miss him. [blows nose]

- It's okay. It's okay. - [blows nose]

- [sobbing, blows nose] - Sorry, it's okay.

He grabbed your ass?

And what did you do about it?

- I walked away. - Don't tell me you let it slide?

Let it slide?

What's that?

If only you recorded it on your mobile...

What's... What is mobile…

I forgot we were in the past. Okay?

What?

You should have given him a dirty slap.

Ehn?

A life changing slap.

The kind he will never forget in his life.

- Mm-hmm. - My dear,

this is Nigeria.

You don't slap a man like Chief Adediran.

It's suicide.

Whatever happens

once I'm financially stable,

I must adopt an orphan child.

Why?

[wistful music playing]

Because no one ever adopted me.

It's well, mom.

What?

Hmm?

Uh, it is well, ma'am.

You'll be such a great mother to your children.

[sighs]

[sniffs]

[sighs] It is well.

[wistful music continues]

But I am tired of men using their influence to harass women.

Me too.

Hashtag.

Hash what?

You need to "me too" his ass.

If you let it slide, he's just going to do it to more women after you.

- Men are scum. - What?

You need to go up there and demand the apology he owes you.

Hmm?

- He owes me an apology. - Damn straight he does.

Mm-hmm.

He owes me an apology!

- A public one. - Yes!

- Yes. - Right.

And I'm going to go there and let him know.

Yes you are!

But first I need to go and re-park my car so,

- let me just-- - Forget that one for now.

This is more important.

You know you're a very odd girl.

My mom tells me that all the time.

- OBJ blasted all of them. - [men laugh]

- And they couldn't say anything. - [Ify clears throat]

[Chief laughs]

Ah. Ify baby. I knew you will come back.

I have come to demand a public apology.

[in Yoruba] Do you hear this girl? Apology?

How much is your apology?

I will give you on top of the 200,000 naira.

[in Yoruba] How's that? [laughs]

See ehn. One day, everything you have done,

every single woman that you have taken advantage of

will find a voice.

And your actions will come back to haunt you.

- Uh. Is it... - [Ify spits]

- Is it me-- - [Ify] Pervert!

Is it me you're talking to like that?

[in Yoruba] Ehn? What is wrong with this girl?

Is it me?

What is wrong...

[screaming]

Ehn? [sniffs] What I do?

[sobs] I study music.

- Music? - Yes. [sniffs]

Why are you doing, studying music?

Ah. What... what's wrong with studying music?

There are a lot of other things you can do.

Study law, you can study engineering, you can study medicine...

But what if your son says he wants to study music?

I won't let any of my children do that.

They will all study law.

Ah, but what if it's his passion?

- What if he insists? - Insists?

- Hmm. - [chuckles]

My father wanted me to join the army.

Me. Banky.

[in Yoruba] God forbid.

- [chuckles] - Army?

You needed to see him on my graduation day,

he was the happiest man alive.

- [chuckles] - Really?

But sometimes, kids can be right.

[soft music playing]

- Sometimes. - Really?

Mm-hmm.

You really mean that?

[squeals] Did you see him?

He almost pooped his pants!

That pepper spray was a great idea.

Thanks, mom… ma'am.

I swear I don't think he will ever touch another woman again.

- Me too. - [laughs]

- Hash tag. - Whatever that is.

[chuckles, sighs] You never told me your name.

Oh right, Helen.

Helena. It's a fine name.

Helen, not Helena.

[chuckles] Oh sorry, I thought I heard Helen...

I'm Ifeoma.

It's nice to meet you.

- Let's get out of... do you want to go? - Yes please!

- [laughing] I swear... - [laughing] I know, right?

Oh okay.

Ahn-ahn. Excuse me.

What are you going to do about this?

About what?

Hello? This!

- [Banky] Oh. Sorry. - So...

[Ify sighs]

You men actually think you can just do whatever you like.

No, I didn't mean it like that.

Besides, it's not that bad.

I know you.

One of Chief Adediran's cronies.

- Cronies? - [Ify] Yes, cronies.

[Ify] Give your boss a message for me.

Tell him this... is just the beginning.

Tsk. Babe, please let's go.

[Ify] Tsk. Nonsense.

Just be moving around thinking they can do whatever it is…

- [shuts door] - [Ify] Tsk.

- [engine struggles] - Oh, ah, not again!

I don't know, I just fixed this car last week.

I don't know the meaning of this nonsense.

- Wait I'm coming, let me just try one-- - [knock on window]

Need help?

Go away.

We don't need him.

Men are scum, remember?

Not this one. [whispers] Go on.

[Ify sighs]

[Helena] Give him a chance or something.

- [sighs] - [whispers] Yes. Go, go, go.

[muttering]

This car will just be disgracing somebody up and down.

[groans] Tsk.

Wait, please. I can do it.

Babe, hold on.

[soft music playing]

- [Adediran] Where... where is that rat? - Does she know who you are?

Eh, I can't hear you. [in Yoruba] Get out of the way!

[Adediran in Yoruba] Let me pass.

- [woman] Chief, Chief! - Ehn? Where is the rat?

[in Yoruba] Get that nonsense out of the way! Where is that girl?

- Does she know who you are? - Where... where is she?

- [Ify] Can you fix it? - [clears throat]

[Banky] First is to know what the problem is, then we…

[soft music playing]

[Adediran] Where is that stupid girl?

- [Adediran] Where is that stupid girl? - [Coker] Where is she?

- That girl that wants to blind me. - [Coker] Where is she?

- [Coker] Where is she? Where is she? - Ehn, Coker. A whole me!

- Chief Adediran, yes. - Chief! Chief! Is that her?

- Chief, calm down. - Yes?

- What's going on? - Banky!

Aha, "the law." Your work just starts now.

Is that clear?

This insolent girl came to my own house to attack me.

Ehn? Put pepper in my eyes.

And in my own house, at my party!

- Can you imagine that? - Can you imagine?

- I don't understand. - Banky, stay out of this!

[in Yoruba] Boys, where are you?

Sir, don't touch me! I say, leave me alone!

Don't touch me! Leave me alone!

- Leave me alone! - Get her!

Leave me alone!

[coughs]

Chidi, are you okay?

[groans]

- Woah, woah, woah. Are you okay? - [coughs]

Helena…

I'm... I'm sorry.

I messed up.

Again.

I'm sorry.

[melancholic music playing]

[melancholic music continues]

[Rotimi] Chidi. Chidi.

Rotimi.

- Yes, buddy. Are we back? - We're back!

- We're back? - We're back!

[both laughing]

- [coughs] - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

We're back! [laughs]

Oh my God I thought you were dead.

Helena!

- Helena! - Helena!

[wistful music plays]

Guy, it's mom!

- Chidi. - Hello? Mommy.

What happened to your phones, I've been calling

the both of you for the last 30 minutes.

[in Igbo] Okay, [in English] your father has fixed the car,

let's see how far we can go. Come back.

Fixed the car.

Good. Let's get the heck out of here please. Let's go.

[Chidi laughing] Let's go.

[in Igbo] Sorry, my child. Hmm?

[in Igbo] Sorry.

[soft music playing]

Enter.

- Ahn-ahn. - [Helena] Ah!

- [boys panting] - Have you boys been fighting?

[Ify] Chidi, what happened to your jacket?

It's gone.

[Ify in Igbo] Okay. Enter.

[Rotimi] Helena, hurry up let's go.

Enter the car, let's go.

- [sighs] - [Helena] What?

[soft music playing]

Daddy, I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm... I'm sorry for how I spoke to you and mommy earlier.

And I'm sorry for transferring to another department

without telling both of you.

I'm also sorry for the accident, everybody was--

Chidi, Chidi.

When I was your age,

my father wanted me to join the army.

Not because he was in the army,

but because it was the best way to secure our family's future.

As at that time.

I wanted something different.

I wanted to practice law.

So I proved myself to my father,

by passing all my subjects

and securing a scholarship to Yale to study law.

I didn't down tools. I didn't stop attending classes

at Command, just because I wanted something different.

I proved myself to my father.

[soft music continues]

Your decision to change your course nearly scuttled our plans

to send you to the UK to do your Masters.

Me?

To the UK to do my Masters?

Yes Chidi, we are not exactly poor.

We just had to sacrifice a lot of comfort

so that you and your brother and your sister will have a better life.

We love you, Chidi. We love you, we love your siblings.

We love you.

Daddy... daddy, I'm... I'm sorry.

No, no. I don't want you to be sorry.

I want you to prove yourself.

Finish the law degree.

And then you'll have all our support

for you to be the next Falz.

[chuckles] Daddy, you know Falz?

The barrister rapper? Who doesn't know him?

- [laughs] - [laughs] You know?

- Okay, daddy. - Good.

Very good.

- Uh, Chidi. - Yes, daddy.

Do you know why I rejected that offer?

It was a good offer from a bad person.

Your mother made me realize that.

- Okay daddy. - Yeah.

Thank you.

[Helena] Daddy, you have a letter.

I think it's from Juju Phone.

Ahn-ahn.

Ify, see this oh.

[Banky laughs]

I don't, eh, remember giving anybody my CV.

- Ehn, ehn, ehn. - [chuckles]

- What happened? - Juju Phone?

On Monday?

Legal consultant?

- Hey… Bankole! - [chuckles]

When did you go for this interview?

I did not.

Ahn-ahn? It was a recommendation.

[Banky] Okay, okay. From whom?

[boys laugh]

Okay, uh, now that there is so much good news,

daddy congratulations.

We need to move inside. So Helena,

come and help us carry boxes.

[Rotimi] Come, what are you doing?

You boys have started, you know she doesn't like to be called Helena.

Mommy, don't mind them. They're always looking for my trouble.

[guitar music playing]

[guard] Come on, will you just sit down there!

[guard] Nonsense!
