[Mr. Tunde] Zuri, may I?

[Zuri] Yes! Of course sir, please.

Of course.

Ah, yes. Is everything okay?

Oh, everything is just fine.

I have exciting news for you.

[Mr. Tunde] Yes, about the presentation you made this... earlier today?

[Mr. Tunde] Concerning the new unit. Already?

[Mr. Tunde] Oh, yes. I spoke with some of the senior partners

as I promised and

great idea by the way, so I just couldnt wait.

[Mr. Tunde] There was some back and forth, but you will be happy to know that

its a go. Aah!

Yes, and not only that.

They want you to start putting things together immediately.

Thank you. Thank you so much, sir. [spluttering]

I didnt know what to expect.

[Mr. Tunde] Well, now you have to move from here and like I said,

the job starts immediately.

So I'm gonna need you to finish up whatever it is you are doing right now.

[Mr. Tunde] And over the next two weeks, we will discuss the next steps.

Of course. Meanwhile, I also want you to keep me

appraised of how team building is going on, and where we are with our

vendors and clients and so on.

[sighs] Sir, I, I dont know how to thank you.

Oh, I do.

[Mr. Tunde] Just make it look as good in reality as it is on paper.

Oh. [Mr. Tunde] And umm,

a company-wide email will be sent first thing tomorrow,

so I need you to draft something.

Give it to me and Ill make sure that it's sent out, okay?

[Zuri] Yes, sir. Oh, also Ive asked the HR department

and our lawyers to draft up a new contract

with regards to you know, benefits, profits

as stated in your proposal. Yes, sir.

[Mr. Tunde] And dont forget, like you yourself said,

if this works,

we make a lot of money. [Zuri] Yeah.

If it doesnt...

Poof!

Alright. Er sir, before you go...

Yes.

I just wanna thank you so much for this opportunity.

You will not regret it.

[Mr. Tunde] Listen Zuri,

this is not just an opportunity.

It is a huge responsibility.

Which the company is entrusting to you.

[Mr. Tunde] And many people will be depending on the success of this

new department that you have conceptualized.

And they'll be chasing it around to make a living.

[Mr. Tunde] No matter how excited you feel right now,

it is not a small thing.

I, I understand, sir.

Thank you so much, sir. Thank you… Oh!

Sorry. Thank you.

[squealing]

Okay, oh my goodness.

Oh! Tsola, guess what?

Seriously, what is this about?

[sighs] Look, I just wanted to congratulate you about

your idea for the new project unit you made that got the green light ok?

I am super proud of you, you have no idea.

[man] We're starting you off with locally sourced giwaruwa nile perch from Lokoja.

We've poached it in tarragon, uyakyak and ginger.

And we've also paired it with a cauliflower and tomato salad.

And right here is a broth, that we've added the pepper soup spices.

It's made from shellfish so some prawns, some blue crab,

all locally sourced.

[Zuri] Thank you.

[man] Youre welcome. Enjoy.

Okay, so…

how was Rwanda?

I missed you.

[Tsola] I missed you too, babe.

[Tsola] I was pleasantly surprised with how everything went so smoothly.

The negotiations went without a scratch.

Mh-mm?

And did you have fun? Fun?

Of course not. You werent there.

[Tsola] By the way, I'm planning a

mini-vacation for our next trip. Me and you.

Okay, thatll be fun. Look,

I'm really, really proud of you.

The speed at which it was green-lit says a lot about your thought process.

Thank you. [Tsola] Youre welcome.

But, you know I wouldnt have been able to do anything without you.

Your help and your encouragements, so…

Thank you.

By the way, where are we on your outstanding debts?

Aah! Yes, so…

You know I told you that I had the concierge

sell my bags and things so that I could take care of my service charge.

And I was able to get some new appliances and furniture for my mom.

So the bags were worth that much?

[Zuri] They were! God!

Just thinking about how much money I had sitting in my apartment

from shoes, bags, watches,

so many things I-- [Tsola] Hey,

just dont wanna even think about it. [Tsola] Hey hey!

[Tsola] Dont beat yourself up, okay?

We all gotta start from somewhere.

Thank you.

So, I've cleared out all of my debts

and guess what. What?

I am going to start an investment portfolio.

Ive been speaking to the people of the FBN quest,

and they have been so patient with me especially since...

Its not so hard as I thought.

Well, well make a millionaire of you yet.

Indeed, indeed.

[Zuri] Cheers!

[Zuri chuckles]

Hmm! And I am thinking about getting a new car

because this Uber life is just not for me.

Really? Mm-hm.

What car are you thinking about? I am thinking about getting a Benz.

Kind of like my old car but of a newer model.

And if that doesnt work, maybe a Beamer like Laras.

Really? Mm-hm.

A Beamer or a Benz? Yes.

Thats what youre thinking about getting?

Mm-hm. [Tsola] Thats your plan?

Thats my plan because with my proposed

increased earnings from the new unit, Im able to get...

What?

Zuri, isnt that a bit silly?

Im sorry?

[Tsola] You just got yourself out of a financial hole

and you're willing to go back in there.

Wait so, so I shouldnt get a car?

[Tsola] A car? Yes,

but a Beamer or a Benz?

Do you even know what it takes to maintain a luxury car?

I bet you cant wait to tell me.

Since you think Im an idiot!

[Tsola] I did not say that.

Look, a car is a depreciating asset and you need to--

[Zuri] Seriously!

Tsola, seriously, a lecture?

You know what? [tuts]

Im not stupid, nor am I child. You know what?

I dont need this from you!

[Zuri] Okay?

Im glad to know that this is what you think of me.

[Tsola] Look, I did not-- Because of the way that you met me,

you think that Im just some silly impulsive spender.

Thats not true and that's not what I said.

You claim that you brought me here to congratulate me.

Then, do that!

Or do I need to get up and get out of here?

[narrator] Have you had an in-depth conversation with your significant other

about the believes and ideas they have around money?

Do you have an understanding on how they make financial decisions?

[theme song]

Babe.

[Chinasa] Can you do my zip?

[sighs]

You know I love you, babe. [scoffs] Whatever.

Just tell me what you want. [sighs]

Soji, I want more than this.

But there is Adesuwa and-- [sneers] Ah stop it now!

Please stop it now.

I've told you don't say her name around us.

Dont let her taint our love. Ah-ah.

Please, you clearly still love her.

What? I'll fight with you.

How many times have I told you, babe?

Ah-ah. What I feel for Adesuwa,

is, is obligation, because of SJ.

Thats it.

Chinasa, you are the best thing that ever happened to me.

Soji, please stop. No!

Okay, listen. Has there been anytime you asked me to do something or be somewhere

and I didnt do it?

No.

You see!

Look, babe, just tell me what you want.

If it's in my power, it's done.

Forget Adesuwa.

[in Yoruba] Dont mention that name again, I'll fight with you.

Babe, she doesnt matter, only you matter.

So, you're gonna stay tonight?

Hmm, maybe.

But you said youll do anything? Hm, so tell me, what do you want?

[lively music]

That's a small thing. [laughs]

Very small thing. [laughs]

[narrator] Who is the Smart Money Woman?

[woman] Ma'am, it's 30,000 ma'am.

She's none of us,

and she's all of us.

But, she is the woman we should all aspire to be financially.

Ma'am, it declined.

Are you sure? [woman] Yes, ma'am.

I'm sure I have some money in there. Please, try it again.

Ma'am, it declined.

Again? [woman] Yes, ma'am.

[woman] Maybe you can try the ATM, it is just outside.

[keypad beeping]

Ah-ah.

[tense music]

Madam,

You dont have money in your account, you're delaying us here.

[man] Is there an issue with her? I dont understand.

Let her contact the security. [indistinct chatter]

I dont know.

[in Pidgin] Look how beautiful you are yet you don't have money.

Dont mind her.

[Adesuwa] We really need to rectify this now.

I was just embarrassed at the supermarket. I need to buy groceries for my family.

So sorry about that ma'am, I'll just look through your account now.

Please.

Ma'am, there seems to be another signatory on your account.

Is that correct? Yes, so?

May I know who the other signatory is, please?

No, why?

Ah well, he came in yesterday,

and requested all the money be moved to another account.

Soji! Soji! [fastpaced music]

Where is my husband?

Madam, the boss traveled. What!

After you left this morning,

[woman] I saw him with two suitcases and he's traveling.

Traveled? Yes ma'am, ma'am didnt you know?

Madam!

[Ladun] No, no guys, someone has to pay. Somebody must pay for this.

[in Yoruba] Foolish mad people.

But seriously, we need to find him.

Fast!

Useless man. [hiss]

I'm sure he has gone to his mothers house.

No no, he will not go there,

'cause he knows that is the first place we will look for him.

[Lara] Guys, there has to be a way for us to get this money back.

What are the laws for joint accounts?

Can we sue? No.

For God-- Adesuwa, how could you be so foolish?

You know the husband you married. You know him and you know yourself.

[Lara] Having a joint account with him was such a terrible idea.

And you are a lawyer, a bloody good one.

Ah, Lara! Really? What it is?

[Tami] Is it now that you want to talk like this?

Please, we're here to comfort her.

Okay, you feel free to comfort her.

[Lara] Maybe it's comfort they are going to eat.

I'm tryna figure out how we get her money back.

I know but…

[Zuri] Look, I agree. He needs to pay back the money.

He stole it. Plain and simple.

[Ladun] The end.

[Zuri] I mean, or is it?

Legally speaking?

[Zuri hisses] Ugh.

Um babe, where, where's SJ?

My mom came to pick him this morning.

What did she say? She was just looking at me,

trying not to cry. God.

I feel so ashamed. To hell with shame!

He is the thief and I'll be damned if you're the one who feels ashamed.

How are we getting your money back?

[scoffs]

I dont think she is.

Unless he has a repentant heart and returns the money himself. Im sorry.

[Ladun] Repentant heart? Soji? [tuts]

[Lara] I cant believe he carted all of your money away.

[Lara] All!

He didnt even leave anything for his son.

And you people say that this is not a crime?

Come on now! [hiss]

He was a signatory.

That is why you guys should have had a joint account,

that calls for the both of you to sign if you ever had to

withdraw money. I did! I did Lara, I suggested it.

But when I did, he flipped.

Ugh. said I didnt trust him.

Typical criminal behavior. [Lara] Idiot.

But guys, what did I do wrong?

What did I do wrong?

I was a good wife,

I was kind,

I was loving,

[sad music] [Adesuwa] I was supportive.

[Adesuwa] I even supported his dreams.

Even the ones I didnt understand.

I kept up a united front,

every time. Even when his mother was mean to me.

Thats why it's not your fault.

[Zuri] Stop it, it is not your fault.

I never demanded money from him,

I never hid money from him,

and still.

I was not enough. [sobbing] Are you kidding me?

[Lara] Dont ever let me hear you say that.

That's why I'm so tired of this society!

If you're not married, there is something wrong with you.

If you are married and he beats you or he cheats on you,

or he just does whatever he wants, theres still something wrong with you.

[Ladun] Madness.

And you're telling me that we're not mad?

It isn't even funny. Its not fair. Please.

Stop crying. Please stop crying.

[Tami] It's not fair. [Zuri] So upsetting.

[Adesuwa sobbing]

[Ladun] It's okay.

[Tami] What are we going to do?

[Ladun] That's what I want to know. What happens now?

[Lara] Okay guys, I have an idea for first steps.

First of all, I know you can't close that account without his signature,

so we need to leave that for now.

You need to open a brand new account

so your money stops going into that account, okay?

And then we will go from there.

Yeah, okay. I'll do that.

Thank you so much, guys.

I dont know what I'll do without you guys.

We got you. We got you.

[Lara] Mom, so let me just...

make sure that I understand.

The money that we--

The money that I,

gave Yemi for his school fees,

he took it

and gave it to somebody else

for football?

Is that it?

Yes, that is it.

Sis, sister Lara,

the guy seemed legit.

Sister, you know I've been on this thing for a while now.

The guy said he could get me in a door with an agent

and I, I will even train with the Nigerian National team for free, sis.

[Yemi] But after I gave him the cash,

he stopped picking my calls.

[Lara] You were swindled of my money.

money that I bled for,

for you.

You're in your final year, Yemi.

[Lara] Your final year.

Please.

You are wicked.

You are wicked. [Mom] Ah! Jesus.

[Lara] Because, since you dont care about anybody but yourself,

Im going to make sure

that I dont care about you.

[Mom] Ah! Sister Lara...

You can't do that to us.

[Lara] What you've effectively done, is stolen from me.

Ah!

[Lara] You took money from me under false pretenses.

So you stole from me. [Mom] Please, I'm on my knees.

Forgive him.

Please.

You laid here and you promised me.

[Mom] Lara. [Lara] You dont respect me.

[Lara] You dont care about the consequences of your actions.

[in Yoruba] Right?

You just… [Mom] Lara,

act.

I brought this for you.

Its Dodo Ikire the one you loved so much when you were a child.

Mommy... [Mom in Yoruba] Please. Please

Please, take your son,

and get out of my house. Sis...

Lara, please. The guy seemed legit. He said everything--

Mommy, please take your son, [Mom] Lara, please.

and get out of my house.

[Mom] Lara, dont do this to us, please.

Mommy, please take your son,

and get out of my house.

[Lara] I dont wanna disrespect you.

Get out of my house.

[Mom] Listen.

[screaming] Get out of my house!

Get out! Get out! Get out!

[tender music]

[sighs]

Zuri.

Tsola.

So you really did not speak to me for a week?

I didnt have anything to say to you.

You're still angry.

Im not angry.

My feelings and, and pride are hurt.

Look baby,

that wasnt my intention.

[sighs]

Look,

I know I overreacted.

And you're right, I, I dont need that car.

At least not right now.

But it was…

it wasnt what you said or the spirit of what you said.

It was how you said it.

Okay.

It made me feel like you were judging me.

It made me feel like you thought of me as being silly

or ditsy or something. Like…

Look,

I dont think that.

I have immense respect for you.

It didnt seem that way.

But its true.

And look, I'm very sorry for making you feel that way.

I do not think youre stupid.

Far from it.

I think youre smart,

I think youre funny,

and I think youre beautiful.

Okay.

And look, I didn't want you to make a mistake okay?

You just hit a better spot financially and

I didnt want you to go back.

To be honest, I felt a bit disappointed.

But when I thought about it,

I realized that you are everything I said and more.

The woman I love.

You got that part right?

The part were I said I love you.

[chuckles]

I love you too.

Tsola Preware.

By the way, congrats.

I saw your plank on your door.

Big shot. Thank you.

Im very giddy about it. Im sure.

Also, I have something else to say.

I want to talk to you about.

Whats this?

Are these tickets to South Africa?

With our names on them?

I should definitely hope so. [squealing]

[Tsola sighs]

I love you.

And I you.

[narrator] She's the combination of the best part of African women I respect.

[woman] Babe, I think the neck is a little bit loose, right?

Do you want it low like this? Yeah. Yeah.

I can do that. Okay.

Ill also take an inch at the waist so you're snatched.

Yeah. And you're going to look so divine.

Yes please, I need it, because with the way men are becoming scarce in Lagos,

I think we need to cast our nets wider.

Like where? Out of space or to other states?

No boo, right here in Lagos.

Apparently, even married men are now up for grabs.

Ah no please, not that?

You should tell that to Chinasa.

I heard she ran off with a man named Soji.

Its even trending all over Instagram, that he has cleared his wifes account.

We have come to the end of our orientation.

[narrator] She has an entrepreneurial mind,

she sits on several boards,

shes a pioneer of industry,

she creates jobs, she is financially fearless.

[Zuri] This project is an addition to Richmond Developments.

[narrator] Shes a woman whose hustle has purpose,

and has learned how to make money, keep money and grow money.

She's a master of her craft.

She lives by her own playbook

and is in the top ten percent of her industry.

[Zuri] specifically selected,

because of your commitment to the work.

Now, I dont want you to use this as an opportunity to slack. Rather

use this to solidify your work reputation.

[Zuri] A lot is gunning on this.

As I am looking towards each and every one of you.

We could do this. We got this. [phone rings]

Give me a second, sorry.

[Zuri] Hey,

Tami, just give me one second, okay?

Give me a sec.

Alright guys, you are all excused but know that we got this.

[Zuri] Alright? Alright.

Alright, hey, whats up?

[Tami] Zuri, you wont believe what I'm seeing on Instagram.

What? What is it?

All the blogs, just-- check instablog.

That stupid Soji absconded with Chi, Chinasa.

Wait, what?

No way.

I think I just found it.

"High flying lawyer gets dumped for side chick."

Soji and Chinasa-- I swear Zuri, this thing is paining me.

That damned fool.

You know what? Im, I'm not even surprised. But Chinasa?

That stupid girl.

You know, I knew that there was something lowkey shady about that girl.

Poor Adesuwa.

Like, she doesnt deserve this nonsense.

Wait...

what's this I'm seeing?

[Zuri] "Lagos billionaire arrests Soji."

What, I think I just saw what you saw.

Oh my goodness, this is a mess.

Ah-ah. So in summary, that

Chinasa was also dating a billionaire, so what? That makes Soji what?

[in Pidgin] Her side cock or what should I call him?

Apparently, even marriage doesnt spare you

from this time of humiliation.

God. I wonder if Adesuwa have even seen this.

It's true, I dont even know.

[sad music]

[phone ringing]

Yes?

You are what?

Where?

She's my daughter-in-law...

Mama. What do you want? [nervous chuckle]

Um, my, dear,

Ive been calling you, [clears throat]

but your security has refused to allow me to enter.

I know.

I asked him not to let your son in and

I'm so glad he understands that that includes you.

Aah. What are you saying?

Are you serious?

What do you want?

Eh...

Just take it easy, eh?

I, I came to ask for your help.

Your husband was arrested I think about two days ago--

Im aware, and?

Aah! What is "and"?

Wont you come and bail him?

[laughs]

Mama.

And thats for want of a better way to address you.

With all due respect,

I see where Soji gets his madness from. Ehen?

What do you mean "Ehen"?

You're aware that your son left here of his own free will, right?

Yes, but-- You are also aware that he didnt

leave empty-handed.

He cleared my account.

My daughter, lets talk about this later, please--

No!

First of all, I am not your daughter.

You made that very clear.

Secondly, there is no "later". Adesuwa, I know Soji has offended you--

Madam! Madam! Dont let me call the rest of the estate security on you.

Your son left with all my money.

The money I was meant to use to take care of him,

his stupid self, and your grandchild!

And you were not even concerned. I was.

I was. Oh really? How many times did I call you?

Eh?

How many of my phone calls or texts did you respond to?

Eh?

Oh now that he has gone to disgrace himself, a married man

fighting in public with another man over a

small girl, you are now-- [in Yoruba] Please.

Madam, leave. Now!

Or I swear, what I will do to you… [in Yoruba] Please.

[hisses]

Ah! Adesuwa!

Wait, please. She's my daughter-in-law. Adesuwa.

[women cheering]

[Zuri] I still cant believe how far weve come.

Three months ago, I was starting a unit with plenty anxiety.

Hm. And my stupid husband was getting away with his mistress,

after clearing my account and leaving me and my son to starve.

And getting arrested.

I know. [Lara] What happened with that story?

[Tami] Please, who cares?

[Ladun] Well, as for me,

I was figuring out how to move my family

into a low-income apartment.

Ah ah, Ladun! Ladun.

What? Such an exaggerator!

[Adesuwa] But I guess moving out of a duplex in Ikoyi

into a very nice apartment in Sangotedo must feel like a low-income apartment.

Well... Boujee.

[laughs] Okay guys, dont even mind me. I'm actually grateful.

[Ladun] I mean, who want to live in Ikoyi

when you're living on [in Yoruba] credit and you don't even know it.

Honestly. I'm happy that bubble burst when it did,

because think about this,

what if I had sent my children to school in the UK

and then drag them back here because of this mess.

[Tami] God! That would have been so tragic.

Meanwhile,

have you guys noticed how Zuri has been glowing?

[women cheering]

[Lara] Shine shine baby!

[Tami] We love South Africa!

Cape Town, actually.

Okay! Oh okay, tell us.

And it is loving me back.

[women cheering]

[Lara] So happy you guys finally went on that trip.

I mean, they postponed it so much, I thought they were never going to go.

[Zuri] I know girl. But I was, you know, heading a unit.

He had to wait before we could do the romantic getaway and everything.

You know, money matters.

And then with you getting promoted shortly after to Junior Vice President.

[Lara] Ah-ah! Zuri! Two snaps for you girl.

[Lara] Drop your shoulders, you're getting proud.

[Ladun] My girl is making moves.

[Ladun] Well, I guess I'm just going to figure out my life one day at a time.

You got this.

And you will babe, you'll figure it out. Thank you, guys.

Lets not forget Tami! [women cheering]

[Lara] Who has finally stopped using her disorganized business module.

Thanks to you, boo.

[Tami] My financials are now on point. [women cheering]

Tell us!

[Ladun] So proud of you girl! Congratulations, girl!

And to all of us, we live to fight another day.

[Zuri] But know this, Im so proud

that we support each other, always.

Through our obstacles, our struggles

and financial woes.

With all of y'all, I'm good! [women laughing]

I've always been good. Okay.

But through it all, you ladies are my Smart Money Tribe.

Cheers! I love it!

[narrator] Ultimately, her net worth is more important than her wardrobe.
