[lively music]

Excellent. Excellent.

I am so pleased that weve been able to reach an agreement.

Here is to a long, mutually beneficial relationship.

-[chuckles] -I would ask where the champagne is.

-[laughs] -But we dont drink during work hours.

Do we, Tsola?

No, we do not.

Folake, behave yourself.

Well, time to pose for the stuffy press.

Um. He's from Business Day, right? Yes.

-Business Day. -Oh! Good.

Thank you. Um, I'll have my assistant send you the

statement concerning the, the deal, okay?

Thank you very much.

Well um, thats that then. I'll keep in touch on how well proceed.

Sure, sure. Thank you very much.

Okay, that's fine, it's fine. Er, Ebuka, Folake,

Ill meet you guys back at the office, okay?

So, Mr. Tunde,

there was this young lady that handled the presentation the other day, where is she?

Aah! Zuri. Well, she asked to be excused from the, from the meeting.

But no matter, um, since I will be joining your team

on this, at least in its infancy until we get everything off the ground.

Then well see.

Okay. Thats fine. Have a good day.

You too.

[theme song]

[knocking on the door]

Ugh, Tejiri, I dont have time for your never dead schemes or whatever--

[Tsola] Perhaps, I could interest you in drinks.

Hey!

[Zuri] Um.

Hey, how did the signing go?

[Tsola] Great!

I didnt see you there, so, I decided to pop in for a quick hello.

Yeah, I, I wasnt really needed.

-But, its good to see you. -Then you should have come.

Also for the photoshoot.

[Zuri] Yeah, thats really not my thing.

My focus is to book the deal.

And, I did just that.

Oh, come on Zuri,

You were instrumental in making the deal go through.

Your presentation actually swung the vote in its favor so,

allow yourself enjoy all the accolades.

Uh! Are you actually

complimenting my presentation?

I mean, who would've known, with the way you grilled me that day.

Well, maybe theres something about you that

inspires me to ruffle you up just a bit.

-Well, you failed. -[Tsola] I know.

[Tsola] You handled yourself pretty well.

[nervous chuckle]

[Tsola] Anyway, how was your meeting with Omosede?

Oh my goodness, I cannot thank you enough for that meeting.

Your reaction is to be expected but, go on.

Ahh! [spluttering]

Okay, so, we had our preliminary meeting and

she is amazing, she's so gracious and so helpful.

[Zuri] I mean, we have another meeting and I just realized as we

were just was talking, that theres so much more for me to learn.

[Tsola] Trust me, Omosede has that effect on everybody, including me.

Its great.

Yeah, we've know each other a long time

and she is actually one of the most brilliant people I know.

Oh! Well, I, I thought I was.

Okay. You too.

By the way, I came here to ask you to dinner.

Um, dinner?

Yes. Problem?

Um, ah. No.

I mean, yeah. Is it just dinner?

[Tsola] Well, if by dinner you mean people who know each other eating, then no.

I meant dinner like a date.

Im sorry. I never got that vibe from you.

I mean, you never asked me for my number or

anything like that. So why are you asking me out now?

Because, business is out of the way, and I dont like mixing business and pleasure.

But we are still in business.

[Tsola] Your company and my firm, yes.

But not me.

I excused myself from taking lead on this particular operation.

[Tsola] Folake is in charge of that.

Why? So you can go on a date with me?

[Tsola] Yes. Also, get to know you.

Well, what will your um, girlfriend say?

Girlfriend?

[Tsola] Is that your way of asking me if I have a girlfriend?

[scoffs] Well,

I've seen you with your colleague, Folake, and

on more than one occasion, outside of

work settings, so, you know, I thought er

is this your way of making fun of me?

Frankly, you are quite easy to make [chuckles] fun of.

[Tsola] To be honest, Folake is just a colleague, okay?

I've known her for years and if you say yes to this dinner date,

she is actually one of the people thats gonna be very happy.

Okay, well, thats, that's nice.

So, dinner?

Dinner.

[Tsola] Okay, great.

[Tsola] How's tonight, 8:00 pm.?

Er, okay.

[Tsola] I would've loved to come and pick you up but,

I'll be working up until that time, so,

if you text me your address, I'll send a car over.

I dont have your number.

You don't?

Okay. Ill text you.

-You have my number? -[Tsola] Of course!

-Where are we going? -Ill let you know when I text you.

[narrator] Weve all been there.

You make a pledge to yourself to take control of your money.

-[door shuts] -And then our best-laid plans

are quickly disrupted

by certain triggers.

Triggers that can help us

justify and rationalize

the behavior with money that is contrary to the goals we've set for ourselves.

[giggles] Okay.

[sighs] Makamba

We really need to start being more responsible with our finances.

-So we can scale up. -Ah!

[Makamba] Ma'am, are you saying we'll not get our salary?

-[sighs] -[phone rings]

Hey mami.

He asked me out!

Who? Please say, Tsola.

[giggles] Yes, Tsola.

And we are going out on a date tonight.

Really? So what are you doing?

[Zuri] Um, okay well, Im

gonna leave my office at about five or six,

-go home, take a quick shower-- -What do you mean a quick shower!

Zuri, do you know who asked you out on a date?

See, after that day we saw him and I knew you liked him.

-I took the liberty of looking him up. -Wow. Okay, and?

and you are about to go on a date with one of the most

sought-after bachelors in Lagos.

See, no pressure but, we are pulling out all the stops, we're gonna wow them.

-Girl, you are very dramatic right now. -Are you mad?

Did he tell you where you guys are going?

[Zuri] Yeah, he just texted me, um the new place, Circa.

Non-Pareil? [squeals]

Do you know what it takes to get a reservation there?

[Tami] In fact, you know what?

[Tami] Im coming to get you. Were going shopping. We need a dress.

Ma, Makamba, get my bag.

Okay.

[sighs]

[Adesuwa] James, a moment in my office, please.

[James] I have something to finish.

No, its urgent, come now.

Perhaps you could knock?

-I would appreciate that. -Well, I thought you said ‘now?

[sighs] Anyway,

I have a meeting and Im going to need the research on the tribunal we handled.

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

[James] Im juggling quite a few things at the moment,

so dont count on it being a hundred percent ready at the time.

[man] Sorry to barge in, but I have a few questions about the tribunal.

-Okay. -Oh, James, how are you?

Fine, thank you, Sir.

[man] Its a good thing you are here, because

for the meeting we have this afternoon,

we would need some research on the tribunal.

Okay.

[man] So, any chance we can have it ready for, say, one?

Oh yes! Sure.

-Ill get on it right away. -Perfect.

We need to prep, you and me. Ready?

Okay, give me a few moments.

Good.

[Adesuwa] And what will happen is that

James, a second, please.

-Ill send an email. Okay. -You do that.

-What was that about? -What was what about Ms. Adesuwa?

[Adesuwa] I asked you to do something and I got excuses.

But Im doing it.

Yes, after Biyi asked you to do it.

[James] This is the issue that I have with you, Adesuwa.

-Uh! -Ah!

You and women like you who do not know how to talk to your male colleagues.

Come on!

You cant just be ordering me around like I am your errand boy.

Whats that about?

Do you know the problem I have with women in the work place?

Please tell me.

You get some power and authority,

and you impose it on everyone.

[James] Only God knows what you do at home.

Ah-ah.

Look, I'm not saying this to cause any trouble, I'm just giving you advice.

You need to calm down.

I have your type at home and she cannot talk to me anyhow.

I see. My sincere apologies.

Now we are talking, better.

[jaunty music]

[Ladun] Here we are.

[Tami] A good call Ladun.

[Ladun] Thank you. Its a good thing you guys had called me,

because if there is a place to get the perfect dress for you,

it is here.

-Uh. No offense Tami, Its just -Not at all.

First off, you know I mostly do bespoke.

So dont worry, Im in full agreement with you.

Guys, remember Im on a budget alright.

-I can't spend much. -Girl, stop!

[indistinct chatter]

[laughing]

[laughing] Go back.

-Oh, don't you just love Polo Avenue. -Mm-hm.

[Ladun] So therapeutic and the champagne, the space.

[squealing]

-You look so gorgeous! -Yeah!

[women laughing]

[Zuri] Its cute but its too girlie.

Isn't what were going for? You know, feminine, curvy, you know.

-Its more me, though. -Exactly.

Are you more excited about my date or this dress?

You have to look great to today.

Have you seen the other women in Tsolas past?

hoo!

[whispers] It's not competition.

-We know. -But still boo, you need to look good.

[Ladun] You know this, right?

Okay, but did you see the price tag? Its too expensive, I cant afford this.

Sure you can, or at least I can.

[Ladun] Just ignore Tami. Look,

even if this is not the dress, no amount of money is too much for this date.

With Tsola Preware!

Its "Pre-wa-re."

Whatever!

[Ladun] No no no, you need to learn how to say rich peoples names.

Pre-wa-re.

Preware!

Yeah.

Say it.

-Pre-wa-re. -[giggling]

So while we're here,

I like this, Im going to try it on.

-Tami, what is she going to wear? -[Tami] I dont know!

[woman] So, weve got a special dinner tonight?

Mm-hm, Yes.

So Ive put together a few things from our luxury evening collection.

I think this looks absolutely gorgeous with your skin tone.

-[giggling] -Hey, Ladun, that is not for you.

It's so soft.

Find her something else. Just find her something else

And then if you want to sparkle, queen of the night.

-It's fabulous too -I know, but I think its too much.

-A bit too much? -If I say so then...

-then its a bit too much. -[laughs]

I think Ive got just the thing.

This would be absolutely beautiful.

-This is nice. -I know!

-Try it! -You should try it on Zuri.

-Dont do that here. -Try it on.

-Just take her to try it on. -Yeah, okay.

[Tami squeals] Oh my goodness.

Absolutely gorgeous.

-[Tami] This is the one. -[Ladun] Spin!

-[women] Aww. -And...

[Tami] Hes gonna die.

-Theres more. -[squealing]

-[Tami] Queen! Yes! -[Ladun] Giving us collarbone action.

Now that weve decided on the dress,

you need to go the whole nine-yards.

Wait, what nine yards?

[Tami] The hair, nails, the... in fact, let me call--

Okay, wait. First, I dont have time for hair and nails.

-Second, I cant-- -Hello Tracy,

please, I need you to meet me at my friends house in Lekki.

[Tami] You remember, right?

[Tami] Yes dear. Thank you. And bring your nail tech.

[Tami] Alright see you, bye.

Call your office,

you're not going back there.

[Ladun] Now that she has that sorted out.

Shoes, bag, accessories for this date.

-I don't like those? Look at this one. -[in Pidgin] Please, Whats that?

[Ladun] Zuri, why do like you behaving like this?

Just imagine this with that dress. Finish, its done.

-I told her this one or this-- -You're a keeper.

-Im so excited! -I know right?

Zuri, you're going to look so unbelievable.

Yes, but my account is going to be crying for help.

Guys, look we went too extra.

-Nobody is talking about that today. -Thank you.

What I cannot believe is how Lara and Adesuwa are still not here.

Adesuwa said she is going to have a hectic day today. I need to call her later.

But Lara promised that she'll come and give us moral support.

Us?

Yes! If you don't know,

this, is our date.

[Tami] In fact, wait, let me pour some champagne to calm our nerves.

Ive just been wondering why weve been looking at it since. Whats all this?

You made it!

-Well, hi now! -Hey girl.

Looking snazzy.

-What're all these? -What?

I thought you guys went to buy a dress, as in one dress?

-[Lara] Zuri, so you've already relapsed. -No! please dont look at me.

[Zuri] This is not all me. I mean, I went overboard with just one or two or,

maybe, three things that I couldnt decide.

[Tami] And I had to shop too, to give her moral support.

'Cause I mean, what kind of a friend allows her friend to shop alone.

[Ladun] Yes, I did a little bit of shopping too and what?

-Why are you looking at me all judgey? -'Cause I'm definitely judging you.

And I'm disappointed.

[Lara] Zuri, I thought you were serious about budgeting

and taking control of your life.

-[Zuri] I am! -Please! Dont her under pressure.

And you,

I thought you were getting a loan to grow your business?

I've been sitting down there, wracking my brain,

trying to figure out how to reorganize your finances,

but apparently, you're not taking it seriously.

[Ladun] Ma'am, calm down, its really not this serious.

-Its just a little bit of shopping. -A little bit of shopping?

A little bit?

Really?

Do you know what this could do for your business, Tami?

-[sighs] -[Lara] How much you spent on these shoes,

do you know what it can do for your business?

Let me tell you, if you are not serious,

if you are not taking reorganizing your business seriously,

then you need to let me know. So I can stop wasting my time.

Very busy, you know.

[Lara] What is wrong with you guys?

Look, I just came here because I said I would.

Zuri, good luck with all of this.

[Lara] Ill call you, to find out how your date went.

And both of you, really need to grow the hell up.

-Are you going? -So you're going?

[narrator] Can you identify the spending triggers in your own life?

Sometimes its your friends,

sometimes its an event,

other times, weve set unsustainable goals

without acknowledging the money habits that come naturally to us.

[Adesuwa] Tami, Im sorry. Ill try to see if I can make it when I am done here.

Okay, but give Zuri a kiss for me, okay?

Bye.

Okay.

Um, I see here that you are a computer science graduate.

-A software engineer? -Yes Ma'am

[Adesuwa] With all the amazing things happening in tech,

what are you doing looking for a position in a law firm?

I know the firm is looking for someone with a background in law,

but I'm also wondering if there's an opening in the IT wing.

Actually, the firm is looking to build a more responsive site.

You know, something to help us get notes and statutes on time.

So Im gonna have to refer you to the human resources manager.

[Adesuwa] And then well take it from there.

-Is everything okay? -[man] Its not that.

Um...

Its just that, Im not really into computers.

I'm sorry?

The computer thing is, the computer thing is

is more like er, a theory to me.

I dont really know how to operate computers.

[door opens]

-[woman] Good day, Ma. -Good day.

[Adesuwa] Hmm, Mercy. So tell me about yourself.

Well, after Law school was NYSC.

Then I was posted to the women's affairs commission in Abuja.

But I wasnt retained there, that is why I'm still looking for a job, Ma.

It also lists here that you volunteered with an NGO.

Yes Ma'am, I volunteered with the Society Against Gender Violence.

-[door opens] -And I--

How can I help you, James?

I was just talking to people outside and they said they're here for an interview.

I was not informed.

HR was.

-[James] For what role? -My Paralegal assistant.

But thats my job.

Have you forgotten?

-[James] What? -You dont take instructions from women.

[Adesuwa] Ive been looking for a replacement for a very long time,

and your blatant conduct this morning only confirmed what I suspected long ago.

[Adesuwa] These interviews have been scheduled for a while.

So please, get out.

I'd rather have an assistant who has no problems taking instructions from me.

[scoffs]

James,

please call the next person on your way out.

-Mercy, well get back to you. -Thank you, Ma'am.

-Have a good day. -You too, Ma'am.

But keep it coming.

Okay, you really have to stop staring at me like that.

I wish I could.

How is your food?

Mmm!

Its amazing. You know if you dont stop me on time,

-I might eat you out of house and home. -[Tsola chuckles]

Speaking of house and home, hows your mothers house?

Oh! Its going good and Im really happy for my mom.

-Okay, thats fantastic. -Yeah.

So she is moving into her house soon?

Yeah, pretty soon.

I cannot believe you shut down all of Circa just for this.

[Tsola] Yeah.

-So I definitely had a good time today. -I did too.

-You did? -Yeah.

Thats very nice to hear.

So when am I going to see you next?

Um, Im not sure but, you know

[tender music]

[phone rings]

Hello.

Oh no!

No, No!

Ugh.

Zuri, what happened?

Laduns father-in-law just died.

Wow!

Ah, Lara, welcome. How was work today?

Good evening Sister Lara.

-Simi, how are you? -I'm fine.

Good, good evening Sister Lara.

[in Yoruba] There's something wrong with you, I think you're mad.

You are still giving me an attitude, right?

[Mom in Yoruba] Please, dont be upset.

[mom] Maybe, its the way we just came. like we barged in on you or

-something -No, mummy, no.

I mean, obviously, my house is your house. So

Aah! Lara, you're still very very angry with us.

-Am I angry? -[Mom] You're angry.

I didnt realize I was angry, mom.

Lara, you are angry.

Its the way you're talking and I dont like it.

Forgive him and forgive us too, please.

Mommy,

since I was in the university,

I've taken care of Simi and Yemi.

[Lara] Ive gotten them anything that they wanted.

-[in Yoruba] Is that not so? -I know.

I even bought this fool a car.

[Lara] And what do I get for it?

Insults and ingratitude.

From this idiot here.

[Mom] Lara, you know he grew up amongst women,

-and he doesnt have a father-- -Mommy, please please, please.

Please dont say that.

[Lara] Hes not the only person that grew up without a father.

[Lara] Where's Simis father?

-Lara, its because you are still-- -Where is my father?

-[in Yoruba] Please, okay. Its enough. -He needs to start taking responsibility

for his actions and you enable him.

[Lara] Nobody is even saying that he shouldnt chase a career in football,

but look at the odds and be realistic.

Use your brain!

[Lara] You know what, mommy,

I dont even want to talk about it because I dont want to get angry again,

So lets just drop it.

[in Yoruba] Prostrate right now! What is wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

Please, that's why we have come to apologize to you.

Sister Lara, I

-Lara. -I'm,

[Yemi] Im, I'm sorry, I didnt mean to be disrespectful

and ungrateful.

Sister Lara please.

-[sneers] -[in Yoruba] Lara, please.

-Mommy, what's this? -Please, dont be angry. Please.

-Mommy, please stand up. -[In Yoruba] Please, I gave birth to you.

Mommy sta- -mommy stop mommy stop!

[in Yoruba] Lara, please, bring your younger ones close, please.

Okay, fine mommy can you just stand up. [in Yoruba] What's the meaning of this.

-[Lara] Just stand up. Mommy! -[Mom] Until you've forgiven him,

I'm not standing up.

And you, you must not stand up, except she tells you that she has forgiven you.

Honestly, I am tired of all these kinds of things.

Okay, mommy, please stand up.

-You said I should stand up? Okay. -Yes.

You, where are you going to?

Except your aunty tells you that she has forgiven you.

Mommy, please just sit down.

No problem, I have forgiven him.

-Thank you, Sister Lara. Thank you. -Thank you so much.

[in Yoruba] Thank you, my child.

Thank you, big sis.

[lively music]

[alarm blaring]

[moans]

[phone ringing]

Hey.

Hey, you.

-Do not tell me you're just getting up. -Hm, I am.

I decided to sleep in this morning,

especially with the kind of week that I had.

And after all, its the weekend.

I know. I know, I know.

Anyway, how is your friend and her husband?

Honestly, so-so.

-Better. -[Tsola] I should assume so,

seeing that you finally called me after abandoning me on our first date night.

Hmmm. [in Yoruba] Go, please.

But, thank you for understanding.

[Zuri sighs]

[Zuri] Ladun and Bode are over the initial shock.

I mean, theyll be fine.

The worse has already happened, so its just for them to

allow themselves and their family to get back to their normal lives.

[Tsola] Oh! Come on, babe. Thanks for nothing.

You know what? I am really happy you called.

So, can we... pick up from where we left off?

Mm-hm.

Yes, I suppose so.

[narrator] Death. A certainty we spend a lifetime avoiding.

In Africa, it is superstitious to talk of death.

Discussions about money and assets in the context of what happens,

when the breadwinner dies, are almost a taboo.

-Good morning, everyone. -Good morning.

Welcome, Dehinde.

Um.

Once again, please accept my condolences

on the death of the patriarch of your family,

Your husband, Madam.

Thank you.

Chief Bodurin Ashoni was a very special man.

Whos one of a kind.

[Dehinde clears throat]

[Dehinde] Shall we get down to the reason why we're here?

Yes.

[Dehinde] You know, this normally would happened after the funeral.

But I have taken the liberty to hold it sooner,

as I believe the outcome of this will help

inform family choices going forward.

Yes.

[woman] Thank you very much, Mr. Lawyer.

Maybe we should just begin so that we can carry on with the funeral arrangements.

[woman] But I don't know if my brother gave you specific instructions

on how he will like to be buried.

No Madam, he didnt.

Hmm.

Ok then, no problem.

So, lets just go ahead with the Will.

Umm, Madam.

Im very sorry to say this,

but there is no Will.

-[man] What? -[Mom] I beg your pardon.

[woman 2] Wait! Whats this man saying?

Ah-ah.

-[Man] What? -[Mom] Okay. Umm. Okay.

This is a surprise, and a setback, of course.

[Mom] But its no problem, we are a peaceful family,

and we'll make sure that my husbands assets

are shared fairly and equitably as tradition dictates.

[Mom] Okay?

-Uh, Madam? -Yes?

There's more.

-More? -Yes.

See, not only did chief not leave a Will,

-he basically died bankrupt. -Ah-ah!

[laughs]

-[man] What are you saying? -[Mom] Mr. Dehinde.

-How is that even possible. -[Bode] Mr. Dehinde, um,

there must be some sort of a mistake here.

I mean, are you sure about what you are saying?

[Aunt] Blood of Jesus!

[in Yoruba] The principalities and powers of the enemies have gotten to us.

Mr. Dehinde, look, is this, is this some sort of a prank or a joke?

What, what is happening?

You see, I do honestly understand that this is a rude shock.

A shock? Shock!

[Mom] Please, excuse my shouting.

But, Mr. Dehinde,

quite frankly everything you are stating is simply impossible.

And its obvious you do not have your facts together.

[Mom] My husband was a learned man.

And he was running businesses

on multiple bases that were all running quite well.

[Mom] Okay?

[Mom] At the very least, Chief would have said something to me.

Chief would never, ever hold something of this magnitude away from me.

No!

I understand Madam.

And infact honestly, I advised him to confide in you.

But he would always say that

-he would find time to sort it out. -[Aunt] Lie!

Lies of the devil.

Um, I have no reason,

absolute no reason to lie to you, not at all.

You see,

Chief was a very rich man.

Yes.

And a captain of industries for that matter.

But, some few years later,

due to strings of bad business deals,

extreme leveraging and poor corporate governance

has meant that the business empire has been on the brink of collapse.

Barrister Lawyer, I, I, I dont seem to understand

this mumbo jumbo youve been saying.

I mean, lets assume the business was in trouble.

So what?

[man] I mean, businesses leverage heavily

nowadays in, in, in volatile environments

-and they find a way to sort themselves. -Mm.

-[man] But then his personal assets-- -That is where the problem lies.

What is the problem?! What is the problem?

[man] Where is it!

[Dehinde] There was barely any line between the person and the business.

[Dehinde] Because he was in debt and didnt

separate his financial dealings with the bank,

-everything is up for grabs. -Thats bullshit!

-[Mom] Language. Language! -Thats bullshit!

Down.

[Mom] Down!

Look, what Im just trying to say is this,

this man must have misguided or misadvice dad in some way.

-Is he not supposed to be daddys lawyer? -He is.

Quite right, quite right!

And honestly, I did my best but your father wouldnt listen to me.

[Dehinde] And you cannot force your wishes on a client.

As for the rest,

I think you have to take it up with his financial advisers.

Ah-ah!

-What? -What is he saying?

-[man] What is this man saying?- -[Bode] Wait.

[Bode] Everybody, please just calm down.

-What is this man saying? -Calm down. Please.

[Mom] Okay, Let's calm down.

[groans]

[Bode] Lets just, let's just say what you're saying is true.

Its not.

We need to clarify a couple of things. I mean,

what do we have left?

What Im saying is, where do we stand?

Actually, I came here from a meeting with the creditors and the financiers.

Not even your homes might be safe.

-What? -Whose homes?

[Dehinde] Were presently in talks to see the possibility

of restructuring some of the bank loans.

Bode, is he--

[Dehinde] And as for the rest, Im afraid, we might just have to wait.

Hm.

And that is why Im convinced that um, this is some sort of mistake.

[Mom] Or even an organized attempt at a shakedown.

[snickers]

Chief would never do this to us.

[in Yoruba] Its not possible. Ah ah! I know him.

Nice try, Mr. Dehinde.

[Mom] Ive always known theres something, something funny about you.

[narrator] Father dies, leaves no Will, family fights over his finances.

It is your home that will not be safe!

-[man] You hear me? -Calm down.

It is your home that will not be safe!

And although, the children have firsthand knowledge

of what can happen when there is no will,

Ladun, trust me, I understand.

they repeat the same mistakes in their own lives

and the cycle continues.

Bode needs you now more than ever.

Okay?

Listen, I have to do some work right now,

but Im gonna call you later to check on you.

Okay, so just

Yeah.

Everything is

Everything is going to be fine,

Alright?

Okay, I love you.

Ill call you later. Bye.

[woman] Yemisi, or what do you call yourself?

[woman] Stop these crocodile tears and do what you're asked to do.

My in-laws, please, please!

[nostalgic music]

-[water running] -[cricket chirping]

Simi, where's your brother?

Hes playing football.

Sister Lara, this jacket is too big for me.

Well, that is because it is an adult jacket.

You're going to grow into it.

Sister Lara, when is daddy coming home?

Um.

[sighs] Come here.

Remember I told you that daddy is not coming home anymore.

Is it because I broke his big tea mug?

I said I was sorry and he said he wasn't angry again.

Its not because you broke his tea mug.

Daddy had an accident,

and the doctors couldnt help him.

-I want to be a doctor when I grow up. -[chuckles]

You're going to be an amazing doctor.

I know how to name all the bones in the body.

-Should I show you again? -Yes.

Okay, there are 206 bones in the body.

-The mandible, scapula, cranium. -[mom] Please

[Mom] You can despise me all you want

[Mom] But, what about the children?

[Mom] Where do you want us to go?

[man] Take them wherever you brought them from.

-[woman] Get up go, leave this place. Go!. -[Mom] Please!

Leave my mommy! mommy, stand up. Mommy Stand up!

Lara dont do that.

-Stop begging these people! Stand up! -No no no! Don't do that okay!

Mommy stand up! leave them alone, stop begging them!

-Please! Please. Please. -Mommy stand up.

-You see? -Eh!

[screaming] You see what? You see what? What are you seeing?

What are you seeing? You wicked people!

-You have taken everything my father owns! -Eh!

You have taken all of his property!

you have taken all of his houses! You took the big house,

we came to this small house, and now you want to take this house!

-Why are you wicked?! -[crying]

-Mummy, stand up, lets go! -See the child she calls our brother's?

You are wicked! You are wicked people!

And if you think we'll beg you, my God will surprise you.

[indistinct yelling]

Mummy lets go!

[indistinct yelling]

-[nostalgic music] -[indistinct yelling]

[clears throat] Hello, mommy.

How are you?

Everything is fine. I was just um

I was just calling because I missed you.

[chuckles]

Well, I did.

Mom,

I was just thinking about

everything weve been through.

And how far weve come.

[sniffs]

I just

I wanted you to know that

nothing is ever going to shake us again.

Nothing.

All of us.

Simi, Yemi, you, me.

I've got us.

And nothing is ever gonna hurt us again.

Ive got you, mom.

And I love you so much.

[Tami] Evening, dear parents.

-Ah! -Tamilore dear.

-Good evening, how are you? -I'm fine.

-[in Yoruba] Tam-Tam! How are you? -Im fine.

Fine girl.

[in Yoruba] look at you, Daddy's girl.

How are you two?

-We're fine. -Oh, I'm well, I'm well, I'm well.

Daddy, I saw Mr. Goodness on my way in.

He said I should tell you that he's back and he is ready.

Aah! Right. Ill be off soon, then.

[Mom] Off to [in Yoruba] where?

I thought you said you were going to relax today?

[Mom] This man, whats wrong with you?

[Mom] Work, work, work, and work, youll be running up and down.

-Cant you rest? -[Dad] Remi,

I'm not going to work.

Some members of er, the Yoruba tennis club

are planning to commiserate the loss of an esteemed member of our club,

a former chairman for that matter.

-Laduns father-in-law, right? -Indeed.

[Dad] Chief Ashoni, I cant believe Chief Ashoni is gone.

-Its sad. -Ah!

A very jovial and lovely man.

A brilliant member of the club.

Yes he was, but I know God will take care of his family.

[Mom in Yoruba] what can we do?

-Daddy? -[in Yoruba] What's wrong?

Quick random question.

-Do you have a Will? -Ah-ah!

[in Yoruba] Tamilore, you have started again.

[Mom] You have come again. What sort of a question is that?

[in Yoruba] What rubbish are you saying?

Look, my husband will not die in Jesus' name.

[Mom] He will live to declare the works of the Lord in the land of the living.

Please, dont come and say negative things here.

-[in Yoruba] Death, how? Will, how? -I didnt say anything.

-[Dad] Ah! -Hm.

-[Dad in Yoruba] My love, -Ah.

take it easy. Tami is not wishing us evil.

[Dad] But Tami, why did you ask?

I didnt mean anything by it, but anything can happen at any time.

[in Yoruba] What do you mean anything can happen?

Look, dont invite trouble.

Mommy please, Im not looking for anything.

But havent you heard? The Ashoni family is in crisis.

-And? -We're planning to contribute money,

so that he can have a befitting burial.

-Daddy, this is not about the burial? -What again?

[Dad] I have worked hard,

your allowances are still there.

So you have a Will? [in Yoruba] You've written a Will?

[in Yoruba] Me, write a Will? Why would I do that?

[Dad] Ive always worked hard for this family to ensure that you have a cover.

So why do you worry?

On Thursdays, I go and play golf, I play squash, I play tennis,

and also have my health checked.

Exactly, I'm also learning how to swim.

-[chuckles] -[Mom] Yes.

Daddy, I know you guys are very healthy

and youll be here for very long. But I'm just saying--

Saying what? Just stop there! Look,

your friends father-in-law just died,

and the spirit of death is hovering everywhere.

Please dont invite it here.

-[Tami] Sorry Ma'am. -[Dad] Don't worry.

Ill take care of you, Tami.

[in Yoruba] Ive done all the work.

Ill take care of you till when you get married, hm?

[narrator] Do you have conversations with your family about money?

Are all the adults in the family aware of what assets the family owns?

and what debts the family is liable for?

Goal!

Hey.

Did you pay any attention to what I said, earlier?

Soj?

Aah!

Adesuwa whats this you're doing?

Sorry! I just want you to pay attention to what I'm saying.

[Adesuwa] Look Soj, we need to pay attention to separating our business and

personal finances.

Adesuwa, I dont know where all of this is coming from.

When we started a family, we agreed that

we'll have a joint account and we will spend from the same place.

I know, but based on how some business dealings have been going--

Hold on. You mean, on how my business dealings are going.

Right?

Oh! You're tired of your lazy husband ruining things, right?

Come on.

Thats not what I said.

Adesuwa, I know what this is.

You think I'm stupid? I'm not.

Very soon you'll say we should not have a joint account anymore.

-I havent said that. -No, not yet.

But thats the next thing.

You recently got a promotion, you're making more money.

Now our financial arrangement

which has been working all these times is no longer expedient to you, right?

We should separate our finances, [in Yoruba] What kind of talk is that?

Soj, look, what I am really saying that, if we're--

-Soj, Soj-- -Stop all these "Soj"

Soj, Soj, Soj.

"Soj, how much is this?"

"Soj er, er, is it my money or your money that you're using to buy boxers?"

"Oh Soj, where are you going?"

"Oh Soj, where are you coming from? Oh Soj this"

"Oh Soj, oh Soj" You know what?

You can actually do pretty much whatever you like.

Since I have now become a figurehead

[In Yoruba] In my house. [Tut]

God! Its like the devil is working overtime in my marriage,

because I dont even understand anymore.

Soj

Soj, I didnt mean to upset you, Im sorry.

[in Yoruba] Soj, dont be angry. Soj!
