Life, sometimes, is one long and winding maze

of occurrences beyond our wishes,

beyond our wits.

Greetings, ma.

Please, we're looking for Baba Fagbemi's house.

Should we go this way?

If we go this way...

We wriggle and battle through it all for reasons that elude us

until we come to the point of higher consciousness.

This is my story.

A story of a child's pain that hurts the mother's heart.

A pain...

caused by my own actions in a past life I know nothing about.

Hmm.

Where's the hoe? The hoe has gone to the farm.

Where's the cutlass? The cutlass has gone to the stream.

We cast divination the eko seller of Idere,

one destined to be wealthy before the dusk of her life.

Eleko Idere, but you said sales weren't great!

Ah-ahn.

My old friend.

Mmmh

Why did you do it?

Why did you leave and not look back?

Hmm?

Why didn't you keep in touch?

Why did you call the gods hypocrites and look at people...

as though they will never die.

How did we get here?

I won't say what the gods didn't ask me to say.

Haven't you heard what the gods said?

The gods said, "Where's the hoe? The hoe has gone to farm.

Where's the cutlass? The cutlass has gone to the stream.

We cast divination for the eko seller of Idere,

one destined to be wealthy before the dusk of her life."

You see, a long time ago,

You were an eko seller in Idere town.

You were poor and didn't make any profit.

So you consulted the messengers of Orunmila.

They interceded on your behalf.

After you became successful and wealthy,

and your business boomed,

you became arrogant and proud.

This angered your creators.

They cursed you with a grave sickness.

Because you were dying, you cried

and asked your Creator for mercy

and another chance to fix your mistakes and go back to your rich life.

Your Creator granted your wishes.

Now you have a husband and fortune,

but your children are your biggest headache.

You're the eko seller from Idere.

Who are... are you talking to me, sir?

I don't sell eko. Or... I've never sold eko.

My mummy doesn't sell eko.

Tell him. I don't sell eko.

You're the eko seller of Idere!

I said I don't sell eko.

I'm not the eko seller of Idere.

Look sir, I only came here

to ask you to thank the gods for me.

That's all.

Don't you understand?

Don't you know the gods know everything?

What's the difference between maize and corn meal?

I'm saying everything as it is.

Everything I say comes from the gods.

Okay, sir...

What does all this have to do with me?

Speak Yoruba!

Sir, how do your words concern me? What does all this have to do with me?

Whatever affects the ground, also affects the sky.

We will need to make a sacrifice.

Dami!

Dami!

Open the gate!

- Dami! - Open the gate!

Dami!

- Baba. - Yes, sir.

You see that lady going?

If she ever comes back here saying that she forgot something,

anything...

you make sure she doesn't come in. Alright?

You heard me?

- Yes, sir! - Good.

Oh here she comes!

Our celebrant!

- Mrs. Kemi Oye! - Thank you.

♪ For she's a jolly good fellow ♪

♪ For she's a jolly good fellow ♪

♪ For she's a jolly good fellow ♪

♪ And so say all of us ♪

Happy birthday, Mummy!

Thank you. Thank you for coming.

Where's Mide?

And Daddy is a jolly good fellow.

- You. - Thank you very much.

So it's my wife you're kissing?

Come, come.

Ah-ah.

Daddy.

Why are you inside?

I'm tired of the noise.

It's time you and Mum went on a vacation.

It's long overdue.

May it always be open for you.

Amen.

Did you say vacation?

Yes, sir.

Your mother and I?

Yes, sir.

Do you want her to stop me

from saying hello to all the ladies as I wish?

Ah... no.

I was thinking that you'll go for the vacation, you know,

after your retirement.

What do you think?

Hm?

What are your plans?

Vacation or retirement?

Retirement... sir.

When we get to the bridge, we'll cross it.

Hmm.

When we get to the bridge, we'll cross it.

Thanks for your concern.

Did you pour this for me?

Yes, sir.

Let me have it then.

Cheers once again.

You...

caused a scene at your own parents' party.

Nonsense.

How are you?

I'm alright.

Darling, please let me know before you leave.

Alright. No problem.

Dami.

Dami.

Dami.

Where did you go?

Where are you coming from?

Didn't you see I've been calling you?

Is it because you called

that you destroyed my things?

Why weren't you picking my calls?

Huh?

How would I pick your calls

when I forgot my phone at home?

I mean what's this madness?

What's all this nonsense for?

Did...

Did you buy any of these things for me, Lolu?

I'm sorry.

- Don't be annoyed. - Now look at me.

Don't be annoyed.

Give me my keys.

- I said you shouldn't be annoyed! - Give me my keys!

- Are you mad? - Ah-ah?

Give me my keys, Lolu!

I want you out of this house!

Give me my keys and get the hell out of my house!

- What is that meant to mean? - You...

You want to hit me?

You want to hit me?

Go on, I dare you.

Please. Hit me.

Lolu, hit me!

Get the hell out of my house!

Get out of my house, you fucking psycho!

Get out of my house!

Get out! Psycho!

Bisi.

- Ah, ma. - How are you?

Fine, ma.

Should I take your food to the car?

No.

This...

What's this?

Oh.

It's... it's just a magazine, ma.

I know.

Are you his daughter?

Are you Chief Oye's daughter?

- Yes ma. - Ah.

How come I didn't know?

Why didn't you let anybody know?

I just thought it wasn't necessary, ma.

Come on.

Your father is one of those we look up to.

We look up to him.

He's one of my role models.

Here's what I'm going to do.

I'll give him a call today.

I'll let him know you're working with me.

That'll do it.

No, that won't be necessary ma.

- I just want to quietly do my work... - It's an honor to have you in my company.

- Ma, it won't be necessary... - I'll see you later.

I just...

I need a job.

- So? - So?

I need a job.

Exactly.

Do you need me to help you write it on a billboard?

If you need a job, go get one.

When did you get in?

Ehn?

Talk to your husband.

Ah! What's the matter?

Can you even hear yourself out?

Hm?

Come.

How old are you again?

Ehn?

You don't have a job.

You want me to go and get one for you?

Well but my dear, you can.

Allow him to join his brother.

Since he got back from Service,

he's not been doing anything.

And so what?

Does his sister work in my company?

Why can't you fend for yourself?

And why do I need to fend for myself,

when my father owns one of the

biggest establishments in the city?

Ah-ah.

My own father did not spoon feed me.

So why are you spoon feeding Wale then?

Dad, come back here.

- Ah! - Why are you spoon feeding Wale?

Huh? No! Let him answer me!

Why are you spoon feeding Wale then?

Why can he work in your company and I can't?

- What's wrong with you? - Huh?!

- Mummy, what? - What's the matter with you?

You never listen. I already spoke to him.

Now you've come and ruined it all.

You destroyed everything.

- Fine... - I told you to let it be.

- Calm down. - Fine.

- I'm calm. - When you keep...

- I'm calm. - Ah.

- What did he say? - What do you think he said?

Ah-ah.

Look, he told him to go and look for a job.

But what's the advantage to you

of your father's company being big?

If there's no vacancy, fire someone

and replace him with my child.

Mum, you know your husband

is the best person to handle this.

- I don't know. - I knew it.

No, Mum, didn't I tell you?

I knew it!

I knew you had nothing useful to say.

You're selfish.

You only care about yourself.

What do you want me to say?

You are a selfish man bro!

What do you want me to say? Do I own the business?

If you spoke to your father on my behalf,

are you gonna die?

- Huh? - Do you want me to keep quiet?

Do you want me to keep quiet?

You have to be calm.

I'm calm.

Your stubbornness caused all this.

What stubbornness?

No tell me, what stubbornness?

No, Mum, wait.

What stubbornness?

If I worked for Dad in his company,

is it a bad thing?

Are you the only one who likes money?

Am I working because of money?

Oh no, it's for paper.

What's the matter with you?

We're trying to make you understand

and you're being stubborn.

Won't you calm down?

Are you possessed?

What's the matter with you?

- I'm calm. - Mom.

Please warn your son.

- What do you want to do? - What am I going to do?

What do you want to do bro?

- Can you hear him? - Lolu...

- What do you want to do? - Can you hear him?

- Huh?! - Omololu! Ah-ah!

This is becoming something else.

My son.

Talk to your father.

Mmh! Eeh!

Your father will soon retire right?

If both of you don't agree

to work together in the company,

your father is going to hand over to Dare.

Hmm.

Dare?

He's been working for your father for years.

- Do I know Dare? - Yes.

- It shall not be well with Dare. - Why are you cursing him?

No, Mom!

People will die!

- People! - People's gonna... Dare?!

Dare?!

I hope something else has not happened?

- "People's gonna die." - "People gonna die."

Be careful.

Okay, I'm calm.

I'm calm.

My dear son.

You'll find a way to bring your brother in.

You two are the only sons we have. Okay?

You should work together in your father's company.

What's the point of your father having a company?

Please, my dear son.

Can you see?

Hmm.

- Hey. - Here you are.

- Mmh. - Thank you.

So babe...

What's up?

I mean, what's Chairman saying?

About?

No...

I'm just saying, like generally,

what's he saying?

I don't know. And frankly, I don't care.

That means that he hasn't said anything at all.

Dude, what's up?

No.

No.

There's nothing.

Uh...

Nothing much.

I mean, what I'm trying to say is...

All of us know that

the Chairman is going to retire soon.

What are you saying?

Don't you think I should be the next MD?

And also because I'm your lover.

Come in.

Hello, ma. Hello, sir.

Here's your food.

- Thank you, H.P. - Yes, ma.

- No, H.P., take the second one. - Hold on.

What are you going to eat?

No, I'm good.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

Okay.

- Thank you, madam. - H.P., it's getting dark. Shut the door.

You're the best, ma'am.

- Mmh. - And what about me?

You're also the best, sir.

Good night.

Of course.

Yes, come in.

Ah, Dare!

Where have you been?

Come right in.

Thank you, sir.

I just got back, sir.

Okay. So what do you have for me?

Good news.

They booked 500 units of our customized chandeliers.

And they made their payment instantly.

I trust you.

I always trusted that you will clinch that deal.

Thank you, sir.

Plus I'm expecting another interest

before close of business today.

Ah.

That's fantastic.

Thank you.

Uh sir,

I have been meaning to discuss something with you.

- Hmm? - Yes, sir.

Please do.

Mmmh!

I would like for us to consider investment of

some of our spare resources in cryptocurrency.

Oh, cryptocurrency.

Yes, I've heard about that before.

But do you think it's safe and reliable?

Oh, it is sir.

Yes.

Okay. Mmmh.

Brilliant. You know what you'll do?

You and Wale will meet

and discuss how profitable it is.

Yes, I understand, sir.

But sir,

I've looked into it properly.

I have contemplated it deeply.

And it will be really profitable for us.

I trust you.

I trust you so much.

Nevertheless, you'll meet with Wale

and look into it properly. Hmm?

Okay, sir. Okay.

Alright, sir.

Leave the road, leave!

Hey!

Don't block me, I'm not buying bottled water. Get out of here!

Move now! Move!

Get your lousy vehicle out of here!

Mister Man, get off the road! Ah!

Why is everybody driving like...

What kind of stupid bike is this?

Your mother!

Does she ever get tired?

What's the matter?

Stressing me.

Hello Mom, what's the matter?

Come on, 20 missed calls in one hour.

What's the matter?

What do you want?

I said, what do you want?

Mister Man, are you mad?

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Mom, I wasn't talking to you, I'm driving.

You know what, let me call you back. I'm driving.

I'll call you back.

Get out of the way!

Eh, the last time you called, I told you that...

No, I informed you...

Is my dad around?

Welcome, sir. Who, sir?

No, sir.

But your brother is around.

You just have to wait for a bit. He's in a meeting.

That sounds beautiful. However, I have something

that I need to... Ah-ah.

I see what you're doing here.

I see you are already building your team, the people you intend

to take over with.

- Huh? - Uh-huh.

- Excuse, me sir. - Excuse you, what?

Sit your ass down there.

- Lolu. - Yes, what?

Can't you see this is a meeting?

To hell with the meeting!

- Ah! - Ah-ha?

May that word get stuck in your mouth!

Uh...

Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse me

for a few minutes.

We'll really appreciate...

Oh please, you don't have to excuse us, please sit down.

I said you should sit your asses down.

- Omololu! - Yes!

Well first of, I must say

I see what you're trying to do.

I mean you already assumed the position.

Nice one.

And again, commendation on the extra effort

you're putting in on the position

you're never going to get!

Lolu.

Get out.

What?

You heard me. Get out.

- Huh? - Let's go.

You heard him.

He said I should get out of my father's office.

No, you all heard him, right?

Is somebody recording this? He's asking me

- to get out of my father's company! - Lolu...

- Lolu! - Get out!

Let's go.

Let's go.

Lolu.

Lolu!

Lolu!

Lolu!

That was so unnecessary.

You shouldn't have done that.

I invited you for the party.

Why didn't you come?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about my mom's party.

I'm talking about the scene you created in there!

You don't bring family business into the office.

It was his fault!

He shouldn't have asked me to leave.

- How could he? - Because he was in a meeting!

How's that so difficult

- for you to understand? - Well, he could have asked nicely.

You should apologise to him.

Fuck him.

There you go.

You look really gorgeous today.

Are we still meeting tonight?

What?

Is this a joke to you?

- Nah... Listen. - Lolu, please.

- Please! - Okay. Linda, hold on!

- Please. - You know what, fuck you!

Fuck everybody.

And fuck you too!

Aww, that's so sweet.

Thank you.

Thank you. Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.

Alright. Bye-bye.

Why aren't you talking?

Keep talking.

Don't you want to answer me?

Or you thought I wasn't listening?

You're barking. That was Linda on the phone.

Who else would it be?

Is the office not enough for you anymore?

You want to bring it home.

Jumoke.

Please let me eat in peace.

Please.

Am I stopping you? Ah.

You see that woman?

Just know I know how to deal with her.

Omololu caused a scene at the office today saying that,

I want to take Daddy's business.

Linda called to find out if it has been settled.

That's all.

Don't you think it's time you took over the business?

Yes.

Ah-ah.

Aren't you good enough?

Aren't you the eldest?

He wants both of us to run the company.

Ah-ah.

Who does that?

You must not accept that.

You're the one who deserves to own that business.

Maybe you should talk to your father about it.

You've started.

You've started. You won't hear the truth.

Your brother will take it from you.

Sit right there, okay?

Sit and sleep off.

Why such a stern face? Is it because

I asked you to drive me to the market?

No, Mummy. I don't want us to spend too long there.

No way, can't you see how I had

to drag you to take me to the market?

- Sunday. - Yes, ma.

Do I still have any eko left?

No, ma. I didn't forget.

I added it to the market list.

That's good. You did well.

You eat a lot of eko.

- What are you gaining from it? - You would know.

Just leave me and my eko alone.

Ah-ah. Wait a minute.

What's today's date?

I'm sure they're returning from Isese festival.

- Who? - See them.

Park the car. I want to greet them.

Mummy, do you know them?

Look, I can't just pass them by.

- I just see them and pass by. - We're late.

Park! I want to greet them.

- Well done. - ♪ He is arriving ♪

♪ He is arriving ♪

- ♪ He is arriving ♪ - Don't you know that...

♪ Obatala, the dangerous one has come ♪

♪ He is arriving ♪

- We're celebrating Isese. - We're celebrating the Isese festival.

Ah, please.

For real.

So is this how Mummy behaves

- when she goes out? - Ah.

Yes, Sister Bisi.

Anytime Maami sees these worshipers...

Wherever we are, whether car or on the road,

if she sees them, she must greet them.

Then she better be asking Lolu

to bring her to the market.

My fathers, please wait for me. I'll be back.

Come down and greet them.

No, Mummy, I'm okay.

You're what?

You this girl.

My fathers, I'll be with you shortly.

Mummy wants to give these people money.

I don't know why you're this stubborn.

I'll be right back.

Please take this.

Thank you.

It shall be well with you. You will go and come in glory.

See,

Mummy has given them some money.

Sir please,

how do you hurry her up? Because I have things to do.

- So shall it be. - It will be a bountiful harvest for you.

Your pockets will never dry. You will always be successful in business.

You will always have more than enough.

- ♪ He is arriving ♪ - It shall be well with you.

I asked you a question.

You didn't answer me.

Woman, I can't keep repeating myself.

Wait till they all get here.

What's the point of this meeting you called for?

Tunji.

Tunji, I know you.

I know you very well.

You just want to cause more problems between them.

Okay. Perhaps you prefer I die

then everything ends up chaotic amongst the three of them.

I...

Girl yeah, at my parents' house.

Um...

Sorry sir, should I put some more sugar in it?

Lolu, let me pass.

Adewale.

My brother.

Your people are applauding you.

You're laughing.

You're playing with death, right?

- Who is playing with death? - You of course.

Lolu, who are you threatening?

- You of course. - Please get out of the way.

Lolu, get out of the way. Lolu.

Lolu.

Lolu, get out of the way! Lolu!

What do you mean where am I going?

Isn't this my father's house?

- Oh! - Lolu, get out of the way!

I'm not playing!

Lolu, I'm not playing with you! Leave the way!

Get out of the way!

- Where are you going? - I'm not playing with you!

- What nonsense is this? - Where are you going?

Won't I enter my father's house?

- Ah. - You want to kill yourself?

Do you want to break your neck?

Mummy, can you see your son?

Lolu.

What was all the noise outside my house?

I'm talking to both of you!

You worthless children.

Who are you calling worthless?

Ah-ah!

- Omololu. - Let me speak.

Let me speak. Leave me alone.

Don't say that. Who are you talking to?

Ah-ah. Are you talking to me?

- I'm talking to the person talking. - Ah.

Whoever is talking is who I'm addressing.

Lolu, better take it easy or...

Aunty, what's up?

Was I talking to you?

I'm sitting right here and you're disrespecting me!

- You're disrespecting me! - Please let's take it easy.

Please let's take it easy.

Take what easy?

You should talk to your son.

You hear? Is he the only one here?

Is Wale the only child you have?

Ah-ah.

No Mum, let me talk. Is Wale

the only one here? What about me?

Where's my own job?

Oh, so if I don't find you a job,

you can't find yourself a job and progress?

Wow! Just look at him.

Look at what is coming out of the mouth of a father

to his own son.

Lolu!

What?

And he went and gave the whole business to him.

Did he tell you he gave it to him?

Ah gosh, look at Bisi!

Bisi is clueless!

He had a meeting with his cohorts

to plan how to take over everything.

You're clueless.

I thought I could settle this amicably.

But it is quite apparent that it's a futile effort.

Can you see that?

But then, I know what to do.

Me.

I know what to do.

♪ What an elder does is hidden ♪

♪ What an elder does is hidden ♪

♪ What I plan to do is hidden in my mind ♪

Bullshit.

Ehn?

- That's exactly what I am. - You heard me.

Bullshit.

Oh Dad, you can do whatever you like. I'm all for that.

But my own is that all of us, each and every one of us

is entitled to what our father owns.

And not just one child.

It is my company.

I can decide whatever I wish to do or not to do.

- No. - Ah.

In fact, I may not consider any one of you

and hand over to an outsider.

Ah-ah.

Wow. That's probably the most meaningful

thing I've heard you say all day.

Omololu!

You're a bastard.

- Look, that's enough. - You're a bastard!

It's enough!

You're truly an animal.

- Born carelessly. - Eh...

Useless child.

It's enough. It's getting too much.

Lolu,

that man is your father.

Oh? Is he?

I thought he's just your father alone and he just confirmed it.

Look,

you'll leave my house now.

Ah.

Get out of my house!

I think maybe we should...

I think that this is why Daddy should

just hand over the company to Dare.

Huh?

What?

Yeah.

That might be the best thing we would need to do.

No, are you insane?

Like, how do you just open your mouth...

and the dumbest things just come out of it?

Who is Dare? Why are we talking about Dare?

Who the hell is Dare in a family gathering?

Dude, he just called you a bastard.

Maybe you're not a member of this family after all.

- Hey! - Lolu...

- Ah-ah! - Let him come.

That's all you know how to do.

- Let him come! - Hey

Get your hands off me.

Fine.

That girl is more sensible than whatever you would have become.

Ha!

Have you seen what you've caused?

Have you seen what you've caused?

- But, Kemi... - Ah-ah.

Where did this boy come from?

Where did you find him?

Aaah!

Bisi.

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

Why did you mention Dare in this earlier?

It's not bad if Dare is the MD.

As your elder brother, Bisi,

shouldn't that position come to me?

Also what's your concern with Dare? Do you know him?

In fact, I may not consider any one of you

and hand over to an outsider.

You're a bastard.

You're a bastard!

It's enough now!

It's enough!

Dude, he just called you a bastard.

Maybe you're not a member of this family after all.

How are you?

Oh.

Yeah. I'll call you back.

I'll call you back.

Alright.

Yeah.

Hey!

- Babes. - Hello.

Who were you talking to?

Just one of our clients.

Don't you want to come upstairs?

Uh...

I don't want to trouble you.

What about Chairman?

Do I live with the Chairman?

Ah.

You're upset.

Don't be annoyed.

I need to eat. Let's go and get something to eat.

Let me cook something for you.

Where?

Ah...

Let's go and eat.

Ah-ah.

Are you doing all that because I wanted to go and cook?

We can eat at home any old time.

I'm not going out.

Oh babe.

- You can't do that to me. - Ah-ah.

I said I'm not going out.

You can't do that to me.

I'm not going anywhere.

Babe. Mmh.

- I said I'm not going anywhere. - Let's go.

Let's go.

Are you lost?

Lolu, I didn't come here to fight.

Please.

Man, kindly fuck off.

Don't do that. Lolu.

Stop that.

I'm not here for that, I'm here for peace.

Oh.

Like the Peace Corps member you are, right?

You know what, comrade?

If you don't have anything better to say,

please leave my door.

Lolu, I'm your brother.

Huh.

You know, any time you open your mouth,

I feel like that's the only thing that comes out.

It's like, don't you have something else to say?

Okay, you know what, fine.

Please can I come in so we can sit down and talk about this

like you know, brothers?

You're not my brother!

You were there when he called me a bastard.

You were sitting there when he called me a bastard.

Chill out! Chill out! Come on!

You were in the wrong.

Besides I was already talking to him and, you know...

before you had to come with your tantrums...

You know what? Fuck!

Why does he listen to you all the time?

Why does he support you all the time?

Why can't he just support me for once,

the same freaking way he supports you?

I'm sorry, Lolu. I don't have answers to that.

You know what?

That's fine.

It's fine really, why are we pretending?

I mean, we're not...

We're not brothers. Leave my house.

- Seriously? - Yeah, leave.

- Lolu. - Leave my freaking house, fam!

Brothers!

How do I direct your call?

He's not on seat.

We'd give you a call back as soon as he arrives.

You're welcome.

Is he back?

- Yes, ma. - Did he tell you where he went?

No.

Hm. Thank you.

Welcome.

Dare.

Can't you see I came looking for you?

Dare.

So what's the problem?

You're not alright.

Imperial holdings called to say you

failed to show up for your 10 am meeting.

What happened?

Haven't you had breakfast?

Lady, please. Let me be.

Thank you.

Well,

I didn't attend the meeting because I couldn't make it.

No one else could have attended the meeting?

But you didn't inform anyone.

Besides, who else would attend the meeting?

They scheduled it with you.

See?

Is... is everything alright?

No.

Apparently not.

Does anyone understand

the sacrifices I make for this company?

Every frigging day.

My sweat.

Sleepless nights. Everything.

Yet.

They think I can just be kicked aside.

Like that.

You're hungry right?

Am I a joke to you now?

But nobody is struggling for the MD position with you, right?

So what's all this?

I worked for Chairman for many years.

Many, many years!

Yet,

Wale...

That Wale thinks he can just come and become the MD.

Dare.

Dare.

You need to calm down. Hmm?

These are mere rumors.

Chairman is still alive and I don't think

he has made any decision on

who will be taking over after him after he retires.

So just calm down.

Can I come in?

- Oh yes. - Good morning.

Hi, good morning.

Yeah, sit.

And that's why I think if we have a great team,

we should have a smooth ride.

Hm. I agree with you totally.

Yeah. So I would hear from you soon?

Oh, sure. Sure.

Alright.

Yeah.

What is it?

Please, why do you keep calling?

Ehn?

I'm listening.

We'll talk when I get home tonight.

I'm coming home.

Please Toyin.

Don't you have anything better to do with yourself?

For real, there's nothing?

When you call, all you do is ask me if I'm coming home.

What's your problem?

You yourself know that you've stopped coming like you used to.

Please Toyin.

I want to ask you a question.

I want you to give me a sensible answer.

When I leave this house and go to work,

where do you think I go?

Or is there another way to say I'm going to the office?

What's the problem, then?

I know... I just want to see more of you.

Dare, you don't come home like you used to.

Mm-mh.

You'll soon see it.

I'm scared, my husband.

Please what are you scared of?

- I... - Okay, I'm home now.

You can do whatever you want with me.

Eat me.

Lick me.

Drink me.

Whatever you want to do, I'm right here.

You'll do nothing.

Toyin, mind yourself.

Mind yourself, I'm telling you.

Are you seeing another woman?

What kind of question did you just ask me?

I said, what did you say?

I'm only asking.

I'm only asking.

Babe.

What?!

How?

When?

So let's proceed.

I'm sure you're all aware of my intention to step aside

as the chief executive of this comp...

Hello, everybody.

She's here.

- Hello, sir. - My dear.

You're most welcome.

She's here.

Ehen.

I'm quite aware that a number of us

have been with the company for years.

We see you.

My family and I greatly appreciate

everything you're doing for this company.

And I'm here to assure you

that together, together we'll take this company

on to greater heights. Together.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What are you going to do now?

I said, what are you going to do now Wale?

What do you want me to do?

Eh, Jumoke.

Tell me, what do you want me to do?

It's his company. Whatever he says, I follow.

Why are you talking like this?

- Jumoke, please. - No!

No, I won't accept it on your behalf.

I won't sit and watch you act like a fool.

You're the eldest!

The first one!

You deserve that seat!

I don't accept it!

Ah-ah.

Lolu! Don't do that!

- You can't do that! It's not done. - Let me go. Leave me!

- For God's sake. - Lolu, don't kill...

- Let me go! - Your father is your father,

- You can't do that! Don't do it. - Oh!

Lolu please, I beg you in God's name!

Don't do that! I beg you.

Please Lolu! Ah!

Won't you say anything?

Your son wants to beat me.

Ah.

He didn't know.

Don't be angry.

I am traveling on Friday.

My long deserved vacation.

Four months at least.

Ehn?

What's the matter?

- Ehn? - Uncle D.

Ah!

No!

- Leave me alone! - I can't leave you alone.

Ah!

- I said, leave me alone! - No!

There's a problem!

What happened?

Daddy... Mummy... there's a problem!

There's a big problem.

Brother Lolu is downstairs, acting a fool.

Breaking all your car windows,

- scattering everything! - Yeh!

Brother Lolu has gone mad!

It is you that will go mad.

Yes sir.

- ...No. - Leave me alone.

Lolu!

Mummy! Tell him to leave me alone!

No! I can't do that.

Omololu!

- No! - He will hurt you.

- Leave him! - Mummy, he will fight.

- I said, leave him alone! - Leave me alone!

- Leave me alone! - I said, leave him alone!

Omololu, look at me!

Omololu! It's enough, my dear son.

Look at me.

Sorry.

I have seen a lot.

Ah, Brother Lolu!

Bro...

My son, sorry.

Hello, young man.

Young man.

Most people who visit this place usually look happy.

But I have noticed when you come you are always sad and miserable.

What is...?

What exactly is troubling you?

Look, no matter the trouble man encounters in life,

it is not too hard

for Almighty God to solve. Him Almighty God the Creator.

Whatever is unclear to us, we ask Ifa.

Yes.

Look, let Ifa show you a way.

Go and consult the oracle on everything disturbing you.

Do you know me, sir?

Have we met before?

We don't know each other.

I see you here.

Linda!

Linda!

Linda!

Lolu... why are you banging the door like that?

Why are you not opening the door?

- What do you want? - Huh?

- Is somebody in there with you? - No.

You sure about that?

Yes.

Okay then. I would like to stay here tonight.

No, you can't. I need to prepare for a vigil.

- Really? - Yeah.

What vigil?

- I said, what vigil? - You wouldn't dare

raise your voice at me, Lolu.

You wouldn't dare!

Get out.

Lolu, get out!

Alright.

Yes, that's the one.

Please just go through it, check for legals and send to my email.

Okey-dokey.

How are you doing?

- Who, me? - Yes.

I'm fine, I'm good. Why?

Well, it's just that you bottle things up

and you act like everything is perfect

when your insides are on fire.

My insides?

Linda... I am fine. Thank you.

You just haven't said anything

since your sister became the boss.

I was just wondering if...

Do you want me to leave this job?

No, that's not what I'm saying. I just...

- asked... - I'm fine... Linda.

Thank you.

Holla.

- Hey. - Hello.

Yeah, so I've sent it to you.

Okay. Thank you.

How's work going?

Huh?

You need to start learning some Yoruba.

Nobody will teach me.

Or will you teach me?

I'll just go.

What's up?

I don't know why Daddy did what he did...

but I want you to know we're in this together.

We're in this together.

And I can't do this without your help.

You are just a big baby.

What about you?

Okay, I need to get to the Mainland quickly.

- I'll be back. - Alright, no problem.

We're good?

Aww... I'm in the good books again.

Okay, I'll be back soon.

Alright.

And you need to teach that girl Yoruba.

- I will. - She needs it.

I will try.

- Good afternoon. - How are you?

Ma, the driver is already waiting.

- Here? - Yes, ma.

- Okay good. - Good afternoon, ma.

How are you, my dear?

- How are you? - Fine, ma.

- Okay. - Good afternoon.

Good afternoon. The address they sent to you.

Okay, ma.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

Oye Capital Limited, how may I help you please?

Sir.

Are you okay?

Ma'am, it's the company's car.

They said some unknown gunmen

attacked our vehicle around Ikoyi.

What?

What do you mean attacked? How?

Sorry, who was with the car?

MD.

Bisi?

Jesus.

I shouldn't have let him go.

I shouldn't have given him permission to go.

The car hit a bump.

I'll have to call you back.

What is it?

Don't be annoyed, ma.

There was a bump, don't be annoyed.

- Ah-ah. Do you want to break -I'm sorry.

our bones? So...

I'm sorry.

There was a sound from the car.

He asked me if he should take the car to a mechanic?

I should have said no.

Ah-ah.

Can't you hear the noise the car is making?

Just drop me at the... any nearby restaurant along the road.

I'll use the time to eat,

while you sort this thing out.

Okay, ma.

I'm sorry.

I was about to eat

when Dare called me.

What?!

Where?

This kind of thing...

What is this?

This is...

Hello, sir. Hello, ma.

Sorry. We lost the driver.

No.

No! No...

Oh! Oh!

What happened to this man?

- No! - It's okay.

It's okay.

Hello?

Eh?

I've been calling you all day, you didn't pick.

Now you've gotten through,

what's the problem?

We haven't seen you for some days now.

Didn't you hear we were attacked at work today?

Hello?

Who was attacked?

Our driver was shot.

How did it happen? What was he doing in the car?

He's our official driver who was at work.

What else would he be there, Toyin?

So does this mean you're not coming home tonight?

The number you have dialed is switched off.

- Switched off? Ah. - Please try again later.

Dare.

What you're doing to me isn't right. It's not good.

It's not right.

Hey.

Babe.

You amaze me.

I have nothing else to do.

Babe.

Hm?

What if you were in the car?

What do you think would happen to me?

You'd be at home sleeping.

Ah...

Or... who do you think could have done it?

You.

How would I know?

I don't know.

Ehn? I have no idea.

You know these thieves, always looking for what to steal.

- Hmm. - That's probably what it was.

Eye witnesses said... that they shot at the car.

They did what they came to do and left.

So it got me thinking, they're probably not robbers.

What are you saying?

Mmmh!

I don't know.

Dare, wait a minute.

Maybe they wanted to kill the driver.

Maybe he offended someone.

I don't know.

But...

Babe.

Could it...

What if you were the target?

Ah-ah.

Could it be Lolu?

Or is it Wale?

Me?

Someone tried to kill me?

Hear what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is that

they're the only two who I know for sure,

would do anything to have your seat.

They'd do anything to take it from you.

And uh...

There was a time I ran into Lolu.

Hold it!

Thank you very much.

Guy!

Hey bro, it's been a while.

I heard you're still working in my father's company. Hmm.

I was quite surprised

you were sitting there

and they made a woman a boss over you.

I know you've always wanted to be the MD.

Yeah. You were supposed to get it.

Wale refused.

He made him change his mind about giving it to you.

But my father tricked him and gave it to Bisi.

By the time I'm done with them, they will be sorry for themselves.

What do you mean?

Bro, just sit and watch what's about to happen.

Have a nice day.

Lolu said that?

Someone just showed up beside me and started talking.

He said all sorts of things.

Shortly, he advised me to talk to my Lord.

Ah-ah.

After a bit, he said he will see an Ifa priest on my behalf.

Ah!

What led to that?

I don't know him. I don't know this man.

- He just appeared beside me. - Ah Bisi.

- Here I am! Kill me! - What is it?

- What happened? - I'm right here.

- You're looking at me, kill me. - Bisi.

- What's the... - Mummy leave me alone!

What's... Ah.

- Big sis, are you mad? - You!

Are you not the mad one?

- What happened? - Are you mad?

Your son sent assassins to kill me.

- Ha, Bisi! - Me!

Bisi!

Bisi, if I wanted to kill you, I'd have done it a long time ago.

- Shut up! - I'll kill you.

- Please! - Mummy!

- Tell Bisi to leave me! - I'm dead!

- Ah, Bisi! - Don't get in the way!

- Oh! I'm dead! - Mummy!

If your father really gave birth to you, come to the middle.

His father didn't give birth to him, he's a bastard.

- Mummy, out! - Never!

I can't hear you!

Lolu! You're a bastard!

- Yes, he's a bastard. - Criminal!

- You wanted to kill me? - He doesn't know his dad. Kill me.

- Mum, get out of the way! - He doesn't know his dad. Kill me!

This is a very serious issue. A sacrifice must happen.

You're going to bring all your children for the sacrifice and ritual.

Then bam! Everything will be well after it's done.

So I've gone through the report you sent to me,

and I'm a little bit confused.

I see a 10.9 million naira deficit.

Can you enlighten me on what's going on?

You confirmed it, ma.

- You did. - What? When?

Yes. It was Mr. Dare who spoke to me about it,

that you asked him to discuss it with me.

And you sent an email for confirmation.

I sent you a mail of approval for 10.9 million naira?

Yes, it's right there.

It's the 4th.

Here.

I would have spoken to you about it,

but he said you knew what the money was meant for.

That it was personal and urgent?

But you just sent me a mail of approval.

I did.

My bad.

I did.

I just... I just got it mixed up. I did. I sent you an email.

I think I thought it was some time

around the fifth or sixth?

I wasn't aware it was the fourth.

- Oh no, it was not. - My bad.

My bad. Uh... yeah I sent it.

Uh, I'll take a look at the rest of the report,

and if I need anything, I'll call you.

Okay.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Hey, babe.

So you asked Linda for 10.9

million naira without telling me?

You even had the guts to send her an approval via my email?

Babe, uh...

it completely escaped my mind.

See, I was going to tell you.

But I just needed this money as a

matter of urgency and I didn't want to...

Make me understand something.

Because you had my password,

and you had my email, everything,

you felt you could access my stuff behind my back?

- Calm down. - Just answer the damn question!

Do you know I had to pretend as if I knew about it all?

Because I couldn't bring myself to tell her

that you have my password, you have everything!

Nobody knows that we're having a relationship.

Do you understand that?

- Dare, do you understand? - Mm-hmm.

So, why?

Babe, this is a working environment.

Just calm down and I'll try and...

You're returning that money.

Uh?

Bisi. Bisi!

Babe.

The thing is that, I've had

so much to do at the office lately.

Yeah.

I'm not playing.

Eh, I'll call you back.

Alright.

Hey.

Don't be annoyed.

I know I should have told you about the money.

I totally forgot about it.

But that wasn't your first time.

And I've been warning you each time.

But you're returning this one.

No, this is too much. You must return this one.

Come on, baby.

- So much. No! - Come on.

You don't chop off your head because of a headache.

- I'm not joking, Dare. - No, babe.

- I'm not joking. - Hmm?

- Dare, I'm not joking. - Hmm?

Who? Stop, I'm serious.

- Come on. - I'm not joking.

It's not funny.

Dare, I'm not joking.

I'm serious.

Come on.

Come on.

Huh.

What?! Hey! Bisi!

- Come here. Wait. - What?! What?!

What? Bisi, what is it?

What is this?

Dare, what the fuck is this?

What? What?

What the fuck is this?

I don't... What are you saying?

- Dare, what is this? - Bisi!

Calm down!

Ring. Jewelry.

What is it?

What is it? It's just jewelry.

This is just a piece of jewelry?

Dare, this is just fucking jewelry?!

Okay, it's nothing to me.

It's just... it's nothing to me. Where did you get this?

- Love means nothing to you. - Wait, wait.

- Dare! - Bisi!

Bisi! Careful!

What's going on? Careful!

- Just take it easy. - I'm talking to you, you're lying

to my face! What the fuck is this?

Bisi, hear me out.

Please. Hear me out.

The ring. The ring, yes?

It's mine.

- Okay, but I can expla... listen. - What are you saying?

I can explain. Listen to me, listen to me!

I wear it to our meetings.

Especially with Imperial Logistics.

Listen to me, the girls there,

they're always on me. They want to date me!

So I wear this to push them away.

To push them away!

Why are you lying to me?

- I'm not lying! - I found this in your pocket, Dare.

But I'm telling you the reason why you found it in my pocket.

This is the reason!

Because of those... Imperial Logistics girls.

They're always disturbing me.

Dare, if you're lying to me!

If you're messing with me, Dare!

- Are you messing with me? - I'm not.

- Dare, are you messing with me? - Absolutely not.

Are you sure you're not lying to me?

I'm not.

I don't have any reason to lie to you.

I swear it.

I swear it.

You're just messing with my head.

Dare, this is a wedding ring.

I'm not messing with your head.

So this is not a wedding ring?

There's nothing to it.

Da...

Not.

Not.

Not.

Dare, this is not a wedding ring?

- This is not. - And you're not lying to me?

I'm not. I love you, I can't lie to you.

I love you so much.

I can't lie to you.

Dare.

Yes?

Who did you receive that phone call from?

On the phone?

Who were you talking to on the balcony then?

Oh, that?

I was talking to my cousin.

That phone call you received outside was your cousin?

It was my cousin.

Bring your phone.

Oh.

Dare, bring your phone.

Okay.

Just calm down please. Okay. Just calm down.

Dare, don't you know your fucking password anymore?

I'm trying... it's open. It's open.

Here.

- Dare. - Yes?

Just show me your last calls, your call log.

Okay.

Here.

It's my cousin.

I've invested a lot in this relationship.

If you lie to me...

I don't have any reason to lie to you.

Why would I lie to you please?

Dare, if you cheat on me...

I brought so much in this.

If you cheat on me...

Believe me, Bisi.

I love you so much.

If you cheat on me...

I love you so much.

I'm not lying to you.

Please believe me.

Please.

- I love you. - Thank you.

It's okay.

Baba, only two agreed to come with me.

The only girl refused to come.

I saw you coming from the window.

Are you the oldest?

- Yes, sir. - Yes

Hm.That's fine.

That's good.

You heard what Ifa says...

Ifa said, "The scarab beetle with its thick shell

on whose head an Ifa divination cast.

The head was living in solitude.

The eyes, ears and all body parts refused to associate with her.

A sacrifice was prescribed to her.

She made the sacrifice and all the parts came back to live with the head.

Steadily, my head shall attract good people, steadily." That's right.

Baba, I... don't understand.

You don't understand?

- I don't understand. - Ah.

It's not so simple.

Eri Oran, the powerful one.

The deity who teaches circumstances.

Bolajoko the son who makes the elephant trumpet.

You own today, you own tomorrow, you know all days.

You make one joyful.

You see, once upon a time,

an Ifa Odi Obara divination was made for the head.

Just as you educated ones say you went on strike and you abandon the work,

that's how all the body parts, hands, legs, neck, even stomach abandoned her.

They annoyed the head. The king said a sacrifice must be made.

The head made the sacrifice. The legs, hands, stomach all returned.

That is the Odi Obara, Ifa divination for head.

The most important thing to understand about the Ifa's words is that

you will experience a good life.

- Amen. - Ifa says once you've done the needful

everything will go well for you.

But first make that sacrifice.

Ah okay, what do we need to sacrifice?

Ah.

Just something very inconsequential.

- Don't you see? Two kola nuts. - Two.

- Two bitter kolas. - Hmm.

Two alligator peppers.

One bottle of palm oil.

And one male duck.

That's all. Everything is settled.

- That's it? - That's it.

It shall be well.

- It's my turn, right? - Yeah.

Listen attentively.

A segment of one kolanut

eaten on a trip all the way to Oyo. What is it?

A kolanut has two parts, the top and the bottom.

- Oh. - It doesn't have any one segment.

Take a drink!

- But... - You're wrong.

Take a drink.

Let me try again.

Okay, go ahead.

A segment of one kolanut...

Ah!

Yeah, that's my girl!

- It's your turn. - I'm coming.

Ah!

Read it out.

Both of us will look at it.

- Dare. - I'm listening.

- Dare. - Don't call me, I'm listening.

Dare.

What's this on my head?

On your head? It's hair.

- This one exactly. - The one you're touching... head.

- Head? - Yeah.

Where's the head?

Eh, babe wait.

- Eh. - Hold on.

I have never heard this kind of riddle before.

Take your cup.

Relax.

You don't know it. Drink up!

And so?

What's your problem with instructions?

It's that girl...

We said Bisi alone!

The first time, you fucked up.

Now you did the same thing again. No! Please.

Please don't call my phone again.

Ah-ah.

Idiot.

What the hell are we supposed to do now?

Nothing.

So now you'll tell me...

who makes up the "we"?

So, it was all my fault all along,

the strife among my seeds and their father,

a devil-may-care architect of my pains.

The battle was fought and won, but not without casualty.

Bisi, my daughter was caught on the wrong side of the battle line.

But I still had cause to be thankful.

From this all, however,

I took a lesson.

Living kindly now saves us from tears in a future unseen.

The new future of "Atunwa,"

when our eyes open here again.

When we come back on earth once again.
