[plane overhead]

[narrator] Welcome to Lagos

The real concrete jungle.

Where the hustle is real, but the packaging is even more profound.

The goal is to make money, but for many,

the emphasis is on looking rich as opposed to being rich.

Fake it till you make it, right?

But can you blame us?

In Africa, poverty is a big part of our history.

And to escape said poverty,

the focus is primarily on earning.

We are not taught in any formal framework how to keep money or grow money.

Meet Zuri, she's living a fabulous life.

[lively music playing]

[tablet beeps]

[lively music]

Ah!

-[phone beeps] -Ah.

[call waiting]

Oh God! Adesuwa pick up the phone.

[theme song playing]

[man] You don't seem to know me anymore.

[man] I'm the same man you married in case you've forgotten.

I will fight you every inch of the way.

Counselor, you better talk to your client.

[woman] It is you who doesn't know me Festus.

You think I'm the same idiot that you married 16 years ago right?

You think I'm the same person? I will finish you.

I will deal with you and I will leave you.

And when I leave you, I will change my name from--

Antonia, I promise you,

you don't have the resources to fight me.

-[phone beeps] -[sighs]

Um, I need to take a call.

-Ah-ah. -Can you excuse me?

I don't understand. At this very time?

when I'm trying to get him to see reason?

I would not be more than one minute.

This is not the most appropriate time for what you're doing.

And she wonders why I looked outside.

so you admit that you were cheating with younger girls?

Useless man!

Hey Lara, sorry. I have this client from hell.

What?

Oh.

Okay, okay. Okay. let's do a group call once I'm done in a moment yeah?

Okay, all right.

[Antonia] Festus, I will deal with you.

[man] No judgment.

[loud exhale]

How is this even possible?

You were two and a half pounds lighter last week.

I thought you were doing a juice fast?

Steve, what happened to no judgment?

Tami, I love this dress.

-Don't you trust me again? -My gosh!

Guaranteed, you're going to be on Bella Naija's best dress list.

And for some reason, I just want to go to this wedding to slay.

-To be petty. Slay! -[woman] Yes! Yes

girl! See Bolanle, when I'm done with this dress,

[laughs] you are going to step on their necks.

As in, they will have no legs, zero legs to stand on.

Oh my gosh, but you know what? Lagos is not fair to us girls.

All these boys that are settling down before we can meet them.

I mean gosh, look at Olumide Sanni, he's engaged. Ow!

-So sorry. Let me see. -Sorry ma'am, sorry.

Do you know him?

He's getting married.

[phone beeps]

Wait, what?

We have a mayday situation-- You've seen it?

This is so bad.

[woman] So we are all here. So, has anyone heard from, or try to call Zuri?

Look, I'm still at work.

I don't have the courage to.

[groans] Okay.

She would've landed by now.

How can she come back to this kind of stupid news?

Im just so disappointed.

I thought their breakup was a temporary thing.

But at least there should have been a mourning period.

-You know. -Would you mourn if you were a douche?

[hiss] I'm so angry.

You know what?

I don't want to be the one to spoil her arrival. [sniffs]

But guys I think she needs to hear it from us, so

I'm just going to call her. Right?

[knocking on door]

Um, okay guys my appointment is here, so I have to go.

I trust you guys to handle it just...

Just make sure that she's fine. Okay?

Tami, call her. God please, don't let her have seen it.

Please. Okay, I have to go. Um, bye guys.

Babe, hey. Um, are you okay?

How was your flight?

[Zuri] Tami, really?

You're asking me about my flight. Okay, you've obviously seen it.

Yeah. I just didn't want to be the one to... be the bearer of bad news.

I wasn't sure if you heard or not.

Tam tam, I'm confused.

I mean, we were literally just on a break.

I mean, he was messaging me throughout my whole entire trip and

not once, not once did he say anything about having a girl,

not to talk of a whole entire fiancée.

Can you imagine?

Men are scum. Like, how do they even sleep at night, who does that?

You know what um, Tami I'm gonna call you back.

Wait, why?

[Zuri] I'm going over there.

There, where?

[Tami] There as in Olumide's house?

Zuri, Zuri chill, Zu... Just calm down.

-Think this through. Shit. -[dial tone]

Driver please turn the car around.

Turn the car around!

[lively music]

[tense chords]

[bass playing over speakers]

[phone vibrates]

[knocking on door]

Zuri, you, you're back.

[Olamide] I didn't think you will be back till tomorrow.

How was your trip?

[Zuri] Olumide, are you serious?

You literally just sent me messages during my trip.

and in not one message did you say anything about having a girl,

-Not to talk of a fiancée. A whole fiancée -Zuri Zuri Zuri.

Please keep your voice down, she's inside. Please.

Zuri, why are you been dramatic like this? It doesn't look good on you.

Look, we can do this some other time. I'll call you.

[Olamide] Mm?

I'll call you, okay?

[Zuri] Olumide on my way here,

I thought what I wanted

was to demand an explanation for the twenty months that we dated.

And you said, you said that marriage was not in your plans.

[Zuri] Twenty months of stringing me along.

You sent me messages!

Because I consider you a friend.

I sent you messages because I'm a friend that cares.

I mean, because we broke up doesn't mean we have to be enemies.

[whispers] Broke up...

We broke up?

[Zuri] I didn't get that memo.

I thought that we were taking a break so we could work things out.

What's the difference?

[clicks tongue]

Olumide...

you're an asshole.

-Zuri. -You're an asshole!

-Zuri, thank God. Where are you? -[Zuri sniffs]

[Tami] Did you really go to Olumide's house?

Did you see him?

Yes, I did.

And he had the nerve to tell me to lower my voice.

-What? -Because his fiancée was inside.

I hope you gave him a dirty slap before he finished that sentence?

Ah-ah Lara.

But seriously Zuri, where are you?

Where are you headed to now?

I can come and meet you at home.

No it's fine.

It's fine really.

[woman] That bastard though

What, what did you actually say to him?

I told him that he was an asshole,

for stringing me along for the past two years.

That's all you said?

Finish?

[clicks tongue]

[Lara] Look that fool deserve to be read the Riot Act, thoroughly.

Honestly, he doesn't deserve a moment of your time Zuri.

He's not worth it at all.

At all. All this stupid Yoruba demons will not make it to heaven.

What kind of nerve is this?

How does he propose to somebody else when you guys are on a break?

Apparently, according to him,

a break means a breakup.

-Really? -What a douché.

[Adesuwa] I am so sorry you had to go through this Zuri

I am so sorry, my love.

[in Yoruba] Sorry.

Girls...

Look I don't want to talk about this

anymore. I don't know if I'm

more mad and angry or humiliated.

[in Yoruba] Sorry.

Try not to think about it.

[Tami] Go home, de-stress and try to forget this rubbish.

Olumide... rubbish.

Okay. Um,

I will tell you girls about my trip later.

Can I ask you something?

Mm-hm. Shoot.

Um.

I don't mean to rush or anything.

Mm-hm.

Actually, it's, it's more for my um...

for my mom.

We've been dating for about twenty months now,

and she's not met you and, you know

she's been wondering when are you guys gonna meet?

Twenty months, you've been counting?

No no no. [chuckles] No.

No. I um, you know, our anniversary... I've, I've been keeping track.

[weak chuckle]

Well um...

[spluttering]

You know I don't really like to rush into things.

You know. And, and, and I, I'm not really ready

like that right now, you know. Marriage is not in my immediate horizon.

Yeah.

-It slows a nigga down. -[fake laugh]

-You know what I mean? You dig? -No no I get it. I get it, babe.

-I get it. -[phone beeps]

[man in Pidgin] Spend on me so I know you like me.

[in Pidgin] So I can feel how you women feel every time.

Ah-ah.

[in Pidgin] At least take me and my friends for lunch.

[in Pidgin] Maybe four guys. Let's spend your money.

[in Pidgin] Who is spending your money?

[mellow music]

Welcome, ma'am.

[in Pidgin] Madam Zu, don't tell me you fell asleep in the car.

[in Pidgin] Madam Zu, you shouldn't do that.

[in Pidgin] These new ride-hailing cars are not safe.

[in Pidgin] When you wake up you'll find yourself in Abeokuta, your kidney gone.

-Okay. -Welcome ma'am.

[in Pidgin] Let me carry your...

Welcome!

Thank you.

-Thank you. -No need to thank me.

[in Pidgin] Now that you're back my Sunday rice will have two portions of meat.

Welcome, ma'am. Eh! Madam Zu!

Hello, Sir.

Yes, Sir, it's me.

You know you tell me that when she returns I should tell you?

Aha, she had come now, now, now. Just entered.

Sir? Okay, Sir. Bye.

[guard] Madam Zu! [chuckles]

[Zuri] Who even thinks about this stuff?

Who says that?

"Well, what is for you, is for you"

"Ladies, cast and bind the spirit of Zuri".

-[Tami swears] -Honestly?

This one goes: "But haba now what did she do wrong?"

[scoffs] Exactly, what did she do wrong?

I didn't do anything wrong.

But see this one, "Me I like her, her fashion sense is always on point".

See I told you they weren't so bad.

"That Zuri girl that did not allow us to hear word".

"All the events they were going to together. Now look at God."

-[Zuri] Are you kidding me? Look at what-- -[spluttering]

Stop torturing yourself.

[hiss] God.

-We're going to drink wine, -I don't want wine.

-eat chocolate and forget about the world. -I don't want to.

God, I'm so annoyed, look at the comments from these stupid blogs.

Zuri, don't allow that boy steal your joy!

[Zuri sighs]

You know what?

It took me a while

But I eventually figured it out.

-Olumide is full of shit. -[scoffs]

That's the only reason why he had to marry that girl.

-[Tami] Exactly. -He had to marry for money.

-Def. -Because honestly that nigga would spend

-his parent's money for the next ten years -[Tami] That's for sure.

Mami, you deserve so much better.

Okay?

But... you do know how to pick them quite alright.

What is that supposed to mean?

Do you remember Paul? Eh! That guy.

All those little white lies he would tell to make himself look better.

Like, honestly. We... we would be in Lekki, having drinks,

all of a sudden he's on the phone with someone saying

he's in SA about to have big a meeting with some tech guys.

-I swear, that guy cracks me up. -What is wrong with people?

Oh please, please!

As with Paul, you dodged a bullet with Olumide.

[Zuri] You know what?

Olumide lied to me.

I mean, we were on a break. But I thought we were getting back together.

I mean he said he wasn't ready for marriage,

only for me to come back and find out he's getting married.

[Zuri] You know what?

Boy, bye.

-Boy, bye. Boy, bye! -Boy, bye!

[knocking on door ]

[man] Zuri I know that you are inside

[man] I know. I can hear you.

[man] Where is my money?

-[phone ringing] -[man] Where is your service charge?

[man in Igbo] Oh Linus. How are you?

[man] What do they mean by that? Which of the tax?

[man] They have a clearing agent there now?

[man] And you can do it today?

[man in Igbo] Oh okay. I'm coming no problem.

[retreating footsteps]

[hisses]

[Tami] Hey! First day back at work going okay?

What work? I'm still inside hiding from my landlord.

[scoffs] Asking about the service charge, oh please.

Then pay it.

[Zuri] I don't have the money.

But babe, you know when your service charge is due.

I know. Can you imagine, he came knocking on my door.

Banging and screaming my name.

I'm sure my neighbors heard and everything.

Ah, that's not a good look.

I know.

[Tami] But wait, I don't understand. What do you mean you don't have?

Don't you earn N650,000k Zuri?

And you just got back from holiday, now you are broke?

Exactly, I just got back from holiday which means spending.

We're talking about your home. Do you understand?

Oh please, give me a break.

I mean, I just got back and all I hear is bills, bills, bills.

[Zuri] My gynecologist is calling about my annual screening.

My mechanic is texting me to ask when I'm gonna pay for my car,

and then Mr. Okeke is here talking about service charge...

You know what, everybody should just leave me alone. Please!

[Zuri] In fact I'm late. I'll talk to you later.

[man in Pidgin] …Till next time.

-[laughs] Ah-ah, Wow! -Where's Mr. Pius where my car--

Listen okay, I do not believe in random coincidences but,

the fact that your hair is matching my shirt

has to be a message from God.

My name is Bobby, what's your name?

[short laugh]

Hi, I'm Tami.

Listen Tami, I know that you might be married or you might have a boyfriend but,

If you were my girlfriend,

all the money that I have and I have a lot, I will spend it on you.

Come on. Give me your number, Let me at least get to know you.

Oh no, I don't think so.

Listen. Okay, don't give me your number.

Just give me your account number, let me appreciate your beauty.

-My account number? -Yeah!

Ask about me, Bobby. They know me. [chuckles]

-What do you say? -Look--

[Bobby] Hey, park the car.

Okay?

Umm. Well--

Don't think about it too much. Thinking always spoils the soup.

Uh, what's your number?

-zero eight zero-- -You know what, just type it.

-Okay. -Thank you.

Hey, let me find you something.

Take care okay.

-Here. -Alright.

[Bobby] Angel! look at you. Fresh fish! I'll call you.

[Tami] Okay. Bye.

Okay!

-[phone vibrating] -Thank you.

Ugh! God, why do you even still have my number, fool.

Okay.

No no no. No no.

-Not on my first day back, please. -[honking]

Ugh.

Where's this thing? Ugh.

What?

Good Morning.

-Car trouble? -Car trouble? Oh no no no.

I'm not having car trouble.

I, I just decided to wake up this morning, get dressed,

come to the Enyo filling station, trying to do my morning devotion.

Calm down. I'm only trying to help you.

I don't need your help. Can you just join another line? Possibly?

Thank you.

Goodbye!

Bye bye!

Ugh!

Mr. Sunday! Mr. Sun-- No, I am not fine, Mr. Sunday.

My car has stopped, again.

Yes! It won't start!

Please, I need you to come.

You and your boys, please come to the Enyo filling station.

Near my office.

Now, yes!

Ugh.

-That's the one I want. -[Zuri sighs]

-Good morning, Zuri. -Good morning.

[man] A baby girl, named Zuri. [in Pidgin] You like freshly made bread.

[man] You're looking so straightfaced, hope you're ready for your presentation?

[man] It's in thirty minutes.

-Wait! What? -Water.

What presentation? My presentation is not due till next week.

[in Pidgin] What do you mean next week?

I put it in your calendar even before you went on your holiday.

So, you went on holiday to forget yourself?

[man] May God help you.

-[phone beeps] -Oh no no.

[Sunday] Hello

Mr. Sunday, I just got your text message. What do you mean my engine?

Are you sure?

[Sunday in Pidgin] Madam I know my job

[in Pidgin] Madam, It will cost you about 500k,

-What! -[in Pidgin] To fix that car

Mr. Sunday, I'll, I'll call you back.

-Thank you, ma'am. -[dial tone]

What are you talking about?

[sighs] Oh my God.

-[phone ringing] -Please, answer the phone for me.

-Hey Mami. -[Zuri] I'm in trouble

My car broke down and now my mechanic is calling

practically my entire salary to fix it.

Ah, so you're broke?

I'm not broke.

Do you even know what it means to be broke?

Everyone knows what it means to be broke.

It's to be poor, right?

[Zuri] in summary, expanding our market in the south-south region,

would be a step in the right direction.

[Zuri] Um, and will put this company

on another level in regards to our national imprint.

[clears throat] Thank you.

Well Zuri, you've said a number of interesting things.

However, you seem to be very light on data.

Mm, yes. Er, collecting data in the um, areas

such as umm Bayelsa, Rivers State and Akwa Ibom was quite difficult so,

I was not able to collect as much data as I would have liked to.

[man] This idea is great in theory.

We can't make any concrete decisions.

That's exactly what this presentation was meant to achieve.

Okay, I think we can revisit this later. Gentlemen, ladies.

[man] What is wrong with you Zuri?

Sir, please...

Your presentation this morning was to put it plainly, abysmal.

If it was a one-off, I'll chuck it off to tiredness

from your trip. But that isn't the case, is it?

You've been coasting along for a long time.

When I pushed for you to be hired for this job a few years ago,

I wasn't sure I was making the right choice.

[man] But over a year and a half it looks more and more like I made a big mistake!

[sighs]

You enjoy the perks of the job but you do the barest minimum.

-Please sir-- -Do not interrupt me!

You're not trying.

And while that may be okay with you,

you are costing the company that pays you money and resources.

So, consider this your last warning.

-Yes sir. -Good.

Now, I have a meeting with the representative

of a firm with which we hope

to forge what could be an most lucrative partnership.

And meanwhile, starting now, you are on probation.

-[narrator] Meet Zuri -You may go.

[narrator] Broken down car

an apartment she can't afford

-a job she's about to lose -[man] Zuri, that will be all.

and no more rich boyfriend.

[narrator] Actually, broke means, if you lost your primary source of income

today, you wouldn't be able to maintain the lifestyle you have become

accustomed to because you have no assets to rely on.

[narrator] There's a lot of fear surrounding the way African women think

-[sobbing] -and feel about money.

I think I warned you to pay your service charge.

Mm? This is my problem with you girls.

You think we have time to waste, forgetting that time is money.

[in Igbo] Money!

[narrator] And the subsequent consequences

of our relationship with money.

-Oh no no no no! -Oh? So you can talk now?

Please, these are my things. These are my things!

Please. No! [squeals] My God!

Sir, these are designers!

Fendi, Celine, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton.

[in Igbo] Shut up! Be quiet!

Look at this girl. You're not even serious!

So this is where all my service charge goes.

Sir, a girl has to have nice things.

See, Look, Adesole, Wana Sambo, and Julyet Peters. Do you see this?

Is that so?

Sir, all I ask is...is that you handle my things with care.

I see, to handle your things with care [in Igbo] is that right?

[Mr Okeke] I can handle your things with care, you know?

I, I don't understand.

Come on, stop acting like a child.

[Mr. Okeke] All this service charge trouble will disappear.

[Mr. Okeke] You know, so just let me handle your things with care.

[screams]

[gagging]

[narrator] The fear of failing

the fear of not being able to afford the lifestyle

-one has become accustomed to -[alarm blaring]

[narrator] The fear of losing it all and becoming dependent on others.

Why don't you go and ask your governors daughter.

Jerk!

Ugh.

Devil. I would ask the devil for money

before I would even think of asking Efosa.

[pen scratching]

-[exhale] -[lively music]

[phone beeps]

[man] Hey, Zuri-mama, I got your message.

My sweet sister, you know I hate saying know to you but honestly,

[in pidgin] this time I have to

As I'm talking to you, I have school fees,

a mortgage and two sets of student loans to pay.

So little sis, you will have to sort yourself out on this one.

I'll call you as soon as I can.

And by the way, I read about Olumide.

I know you'll say you're okay, but if you need me to come to Nigeria to

break a few legs, just let me know.

I'm sorry. The likes of him don't deserve you.

[clicks tongue] Aww.

[breaths deeply]

Hey,

Hey! No no no no, don't mind me.

You know how I can over exaggerate. I'll be fine, honest.

Everything is gonna be just fine.

I...I have everything under contr--.

[knocking on door]

[mumbles under breath]

-[man] Has she gone to work already? -[woman] I guess so. Her car is not here.

[man] It's okay, we shall see.

[sighs]

Alright, Yemi. I'm listening to you.

[Lara] What rubbish are you saying?

[Lara] You want to quit school?

Is this a prank?

-No. Sister Lara, -Hm?

It's time for me to chase my dream of playing football. You can't get in my way.

[scoffs]

[Lara] Have you been drinking?

[Lara] Stand in your way?

Stand well let me look at you.

[Lara] Stand in your way?

Yemi, I've been paying your fees since you were in secondary school.

The clothes on your back, who paid for them?

The car that you drive everywhere, carrying girls,

who paid for it?

I work myself like a dog day and night, for you.

And now you have the guts to come to me,

[Lara] and tell me that you want to drop out of school,

[Lara] to chase a pipe dream.

At twenty-two?

Do you have any idea at what age footballers get drafted?

Which league is gonna sign you?

Sis, I don't see the sacrifice you're talking about.

You work in an oil company, you drive a badass car.

[Yemi] Have you seen the review of your car online?

Anyways, I knew you were going to say this. So...

I knew you were going to talk down on my dreams and, you know, just laugh at me.

Mommy was right, you're going to do this.

You know what sis? My dreams are valid!

[in Yoruba] You're stupid. You're mad. Do you understand?

[in Yoruba] You're foolish. I think you've gone mad. Your dreams are valid?

Your dreams are valid? [in Yoruba] Good for you Lupita Nyong'o.

Your dreams are valid? Listen here,

not all dreams are valid.

Not all dreams are valid, especially not one

that will keep you a liability to me for God knows how many years.

Who said I'm going to be a liability?

Sis, do you know how much footballers that play for club-side get paid?

You're foolish.

Look here, I have said everything that I'm willing to say on this subject.

Do you understand?

If you want to chase your dreams...

then you'll go back to your mother's house and chase it from there.

[Lara] Let her support your dreams from there, as for me...

I've tried for you.

[Lara] Do you understand? I've tried for you.

[Yemi] Sis, you're just being unreasonable. You're being unsupportive.

-Get out! Get-- get out! Get out! -Sis...

[Lara] See,

Come back here.

Come back here!

[Lara] Listen to me,

[Lara] I'm not joking with you. you'll pack your bags,

and you will get the hell out of my house.

Go back to your mother's house in Festac.

[Lara] Do you understand what I'm telling you? What did I say?

Go back to your mother's house in Festac.

And let her support your dreams from there.

And allow me to achieve my dream,

of being able to actually spend the fucking money that I earn on my damn self!

Do you understand what I'm telling you? When I get back to this house...

I don't want to see you here. Get out, quickly.

Get out! Get. Get.

Get the hell...

[lively music]

[moaning]

Here we go. Just have to get to work.

Let me order my cab. [humming]

[phone rings]

Hm.

Hi, Mommy.

[mom] How are you, my dear? How was your holiday?

[Zuri] I'm fine. It was nice. I actually tried calling you yesterday.

[mom] Ah, yesterday? We traveled, to Ekpoma.

Oh okay, that's nice. I hope it went well.

[mom] It did. Yes, it did.

I was just kept thinking about

how beautiful you will look when it's your turn.

Anyway thank you for the gifts, God bless you.

You're welcome, mommy.

Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something.

[mom] Before you say what you want to say. I'm here at Ivie's mother's house.

I'm preparing for Ivie's fourth child's naming ceremony.

[Zuri] Oh, I see. Greet them for me

-No, greet her Ivie's mom. -[Zuri] -Mommy, no!

-Zuri! Zuri my dear, how are you? -Aunty.

[laughs] Eh,

when are we going to do something like this for your mother?

You know that she's not getting any younger.

[Zuri] Hopefully, soon.

[Zuri] Please greet the family for me and congratulations.

Congratulations? We want to congratulate your mother too.

Bye bye, my dear. Bye!

Okay.

Yes, my dear.

[Zuri] Mommy, seriously! You shouldn't have done that.

What is it?

Zuri, are you pregnant?

[Zuri] What? No! Mommy, no. Although, I thought that would make you happy.

No, that's not what I want.

It's first a big wedding, then a big stomach.

Not a big stomach without a wedding.

[Zuri] Anyway, it's not that. It's just that I'm broke.

Broke? Are you not working? Or did they sack you?

[Zuri] Mom, of course they're not going to sack me.

[mom] So, why are you broke then?

with the kind of job you have now.

Mommy, you know how money can be.

I just came back from my vacation. I now have to deal with my service charge,

my car is acting up I...

I was just wondering you know, if you could help me?

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. I've been telling you.

You need a good man that will take care of you.

And then what if he is not a good man?

God forbid! Don't speak ill towards yourself.

So how much do you have in mind because I don't really...

Five hundred thousand?

[in Bini] Oh my God!

Five hundred what? I thought you'd say 50 or 100 thousand.

[mom] Where do you expect a retired government worker

like my to get five hundred thousand?

[Zuri] Mommy mommy, it's okay. I'm sorry. Sorry okay, I was just...

I was just thinking maybe I should ask but it's fine.

I'm expecting some money soon and

I will take care of everything, alright?

Mom, I just got back to work so I, I have to go. I'll talk to you later.

[mom] Okay, help me greet your friend. What's her name again?

Obiageli and the other... the other boy too.

Uh, Who? Tejiri?

Yes, Greet all of them for me, please.

Okay. Mom, I have to go, alright? Bye, bye.

[exhales]

Yes, Yomah. I sent the email with the corrections,

so you can send it over to Mrs. Hameed.

Yeah, alright. Thank you.

Tejiri, please not now. I dont have any time

[Tejiri] A very good morning to you too.

-Okay. -My favorite girl.

So, have you heard about--

If youre going to try and sell me something

I dont have the time.

What? Im not selling anything to you, Im trying to change your life here, sis.

-[Tejiri] I'm offering you a lifestyle. -Okay.

Eyes have not seen, neither have ears heard what Im offering to you.

-Oh, God. -[Tejiri in Pidgin] Leave God out of this.

Dont stress Him. This is between you and me. Let me introduce to you,

the 'Never Dead' lifestyle.

[chuckles] Is this some kind of pyramid scheme?

Never! What pyramid scheme? Im trying to help you make money.

to make you a Baby-girl. Wealth. Do you understand?

[Tejiri] Make money that will shock your enemies.

Do you understand? So you just use and you refer five people.

-Okay. -And you'll have money chasing you.

Really? You know what? Just carry your load,

about turn, forward march.

So you'll not even listen to me?

-[Zuri] Mm-mm. -[laughs]

I'm always wondering, is this how people miss out on their blessings?

[Tejiri] After, youll start shouting, God bless me!

Is He going to come down and bless you?

It's people like me and you that will bless you.

-Never Dead is the way. -Its the way.

'Cause money would start chasing you.

[Zuri chuckles]

Thank you.

[narrator] What you deny or ignore you delay.

What you accept and face you conquer.

[Olumide] Zuri, I knew youd pick up my call eventually.

-Bye. -Please, please… Sorry. Please, wait.

[Olamide] Zuri, now. Zuri. Lets, let's, let's see.

We need to talk. This is not a phone conversation.

You know what, you going to have to manage it like this. What do you want?

Zuri, please, please, please. Let's see, Lets meet.

[Zuri] Look, you see, I dont have any time for this, so,

just leave me alone.

[Olamide] Zuri, please. This evening? Hm?

If I do, will you leave me alone?

[Olamide chuckles] Zuri, Zuri.

[woman] Fine, doing a little bit of shopping,

and then Im going out with the girls later for some drinks.

Shopping yeah? Ah.

About that, um...

-About what? -[static]

[Bode] The accountant called me a bit concerned

that you spent about three million Naira in the last week. On, on what?

[woman chuckles] On shopping, my dear husband.

Why, is there a problem?

What exactly are you buying? We have everything.

Bode, please now, please, dont be boring.

I needed to change my wardrobe, you know this.

But, whats the point of having money if we never spend it.

Or you dont want me to spend your money?

I dont know what youre working for if Im not spending your money.

Okay, fair point.

[Bode] But please, relax on the crazy shopping alright?

[Bode] I mean, the accountant keeps calling me worried.

You know, money is finite.

[woman] Okay, okay. Fine, I've heard.

Oh, dont forget, tonight is the dinner

with the Canadian Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria with his wife.

We're having them over for dinner.

Okay? So please dont be late.

Please, I'm begging you.

Thank you.

[clicks tongue]

Ah man, borrowing,

I mean begging your friends for money.

Nope.

[Olumide laughs]

[Olumide] Yeah, man. Were turning it all the way up.

All the way up.

Youre coming right?

Youre coming right?

Man, you cannot miss the wedding of the year.

Its gonna be big.

[laughs]

Look, Ill call you back.

Zuri, its nice to see you.

Damn, your holiday sure did you good.

So, youre stalking me on IG? Ill block you.

[chuckles]

Why did you want to see me?

Zuri, its not like that.

It's not?

What is it like?

Wait, I dont care.

[scoffs] Its not a love match, Zuri.

-Shes not important anyway. Champagne? -[Zuri] What?

[Zuri] Olumide,

you practically didnt want her to hear my voice at your house.

-[Zuri] She is very important. -But it's not like you and me.

Shes been in my life forever. We are, we're family friends.

Her father and my father do business together,

theyre in the same political party.

-You know how it goes. -No, I dont!

You know, youve yet to say why you even wanted me here.

[Zuri] I mean, weve been on our break...

Im sorry, weve been broken up for the past three months.

[phone ringing]

Do you wanna take that?

Ugh.

No, its Mr. Okeke.

You know how he can be. Hes waiting for his service charge.

I can give you the money.

[sighs]

Zuri. Zuri, you know I just wanna take care of you. I just...

I just want you to be all right. Thats...

-That's all. -You have been engaged for all of,

what, 48 hours?

[Zuri] And already youre propositioning an ex?

It's got to be a record.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Ive managed for the past three months. Ill be fine.

-Were not done talking. -I'm done!

For someone that claims that they care so much about me,

you have caused me immeasurable pain and embarrassment.

Happy married life.

Keep your money.

Lose my number.

[heels clicking]

Girl, I am hungry.

-Hey girls! -Look at you with the Aso Oke dress.

[giggles]

Giving you guys the vibes.

[Adesuwa] Zurilious. See your skin glowing.

-[Lara] Glow baby glow. -[Adesuwa] Just looking so fresh.

Well, thats what the holidays will do for you.

[Tami] I just need daddy Davies to come and sponsor my next trip.

[Adesuwa] Yes, Tami has arrived.

Please wheres Ladun?

That one? Let me call her.

[Tami] Ladun, where are you?

[Tami] Wow, traitor.

Do, do ,do!

[Tami] Bye.

-She's not coming? -She's not coming.

-You people would order later. -Shes at the spa.

Gosh, shes so over exposed.

[Adesuwa] Especially since she wrote her book.

-Hi, hater. -[Tami] Like.

Is that not her job? To be overexposed?

[Lara] Shes a media personality, thats what they do.

[Zuri] Well, baby girl is definitely money as we judge her.

With the tv-ing, the hosting, the traveling, the authoring...

Shes making money.

-[Zuri laughs] -Really? "Shes making money"

So you people are hailing her for making money on social media?

But if I bring out my phone I wont hear the last of it.

-[Lara] But please, dear? -What?

-Where is the money? -[snickers]

All you do is take pictures and videos

-of us everywhere that we go. -Stop it.

-[Lara] We havent seen a single Naira. -[Tami] This is what they say to me, guys.

-If you have money, it's for Tami. -Stop it.

You'll pay for this.

-Okay? -Stop it.

Anyway, you single girls can get away with putting your lives on social media...

[Adesuwa] because as a married woman you really--

So us unmarried people dont want privacy again?

Single and die.

-[Zuri] Hello. -[Adesuwa] You guys...

This is why I wish Ladun was here so somebody would back me up.

Mm.

[Adesuwa] When you guys get married, youll understand what Im saying.

Oh my God, yes, because our single brains

are too daft so, we cannot comprehend.

[Tami] I mean, I like men. Lets not get it twisted

[Tami] but this married thing seems like a style cramper so no Bueno.

-Except he's bringing plenty of money. -Okay.

[Lara] Speaking of social media,

why does Soji keep putting hearts on that Chinasa girls pictures?

-[Tami] What? -Chinasa?

-[Lara] Yes. -Shes his friend.

[Tami] Since when?

Isn't she like, in her early twenties? and Soji is no spring chicken.

You guys, its like in the social scene.

Hes like her [in Yoruba] big brother.

[Tami in Yoruba] Big brother?

[in Yoruba] Big brother.

[slurps]

Guys, really, its nothing.

-Dont worry. -And you, why so morose looking?

-She broke. -[Zuri] Im tired.

And not to talk about that, Olumide stuff.

Wow, Tami really, just...just put it all out there.

-Let everyone know. -Are we not your friends?

Plus, Olumide is my ex.

I mean, its too soon for him to be getting married but, hes still my ex.

He doesnt matter.

Saw him earlier today.

-What? -What?

Sorry, what?

When?

I mean, I went home to freshen up

because I was fuming and upset but, you know.

He even offered me money.

I hope you collected it.

-Tami. -What?

No. What do you take me for?

[scoffs] A broke ex-girlfriend that should make that bastard pay.

Well.

[Lara] Okay but, Im still stuck on the part where you are broke. How?

[Adesuwa] You guys, we shouldnt be talking like that.

What we should do is think of ways to pitch in and support our friend.

Ah.

Babe, you know I would but, Ive already used all of my allowance to...

in fact I cant even say.

But I cannot use this mouth to ask daddy Davies for any other thing this month.

[dress rustling]

[clears throat]

Lara.

What?

No, Im sorry but, Zuri still has not told us why shes broke.

[Lara] I mean you make over half a million a month. How?

[Lara] Okay, Im sorry, but no.

Your poor planning is not about to become my personal liability.

[narrator] At the end of the day we're all afraid of something.

But the difference between successful people and average people

is that they acknowledge their fears.

And they dont let fear overcome them

or stop them from achieving their goals.
