Mommy please, can Mr. Kunle

drop me off at the party

- in Daddy's car? - No!

- Please mom, it's prom night. - I said no.

That's the only thing of value your father left behind.

Come back here.

Remember, you're not like other kids.

No drinking. No fooling around.

- Understand? - Yes ma.

Do you understand?

Yes ma.

- Hey! - Girl!

Where have you been?

I'm sorry, my mom's kept…

Hm-hm! I don't want to hear it.

No time to waste time.

Drink up.

It's not even that bad. Calm down.

But… Hm…

Bye-bye Lagos. Hello England.

I can't wait!

I'm going to miss you.

Bubbles, we're going to see each other plenty.

- Best friends always. - I promise...

Where have you been?

I've been looking for you.

I'm here now.

But you still left me.

- Where did you go? - I'm here now.

- Guys, guys, truth or dare now. - Mmh.

Let's go!

Wow!

- Damn. - Ah-ah!

- Tunde the great. - Ah-ah!

- The dare devil. - Oh, popsicles!

- Dare, right? - Let's go, now.

Okay. Um…

I dare you…

To…

I dare you to put your hands up Anita's skirt.

- And touch her. - Bring it on.

- Shh… - Get on it!

Interesting! Annie!

Go girl.

- Aw! - Keep doing it!

- The boss! - That's it.

Fuck you.

Trust me,

this is going to be the best

night of your life.

Wow!

- You're very sick. - This is not how to do it.

Wow!

That's my girl!

My babe!

Two shots for the razziest guy.

- Sorry about that. - Drink up.

- Drink up bro. - Yeah, bro.

Don't worry you can do it.

- Babe! - You can do it.

- One… - That's it, one more.

One more.

- Two. - Wow! That's it.

His work work is done.

Anita, your turn.

Go girl.

Babe is proud.

When has she ever done anything fun?

Exactly.

Is that raz dress from 1995 or what?

Anita, cut it out.

- Wow! - What now?!

Dare.

- Wow! - Mm-hm!

Okay then, Ife.

I dare you to…

I dare you to kiss,

Ope.

- Oh wow. - What?

Oh my God!

- Less talking! - That's wow!

- Let's see it how it taps. - I mean…

It's just a dare.

Is she doing it or not?

No… I wouldn't.

- I can't do that. - Oh, must you?

Drink up.

You're supposed to…

Drink up! Drink up!

That's it, one more.

You can do more.

- Aa-ah! Ah-ah! - Mmh.

Get a room.

- Oh my God! - Guys, let's go! Let's go!

Let me guess.

First shot ever.

I'm fine. I just needed some air.

Hm!

This innocent and naive thing.

It's really cute.

I'm not naive.

Hm?

And I know a lot more than you think.

Oh really?

You should see the guests list, five pages long.

It's like a roll call of who is who in Nigeria.

Honestly.

Yes!

Uhm, okay yes, I'll send you aso ebi.

Definitely.

Ah ah! Of course, wedding of the season.

Yes. Alright, take care.

Hi baby.

- Paul. - Sorry, I couldn't wait.

I wouldn't have been late.

Well,

I missed you.

Have been unable to get you out of my mind.

It's been a while since we, you know.

Uh, Paul, my mother is home.

She'll kill us.

She's not going to kill us. That woman doesn't care.

Ife, your mom can't wait to have grand babies.

Um… um… Paul, let's just make it down the aisle first.

Okay?

Okay.

- I'll wait downstairs. - Yeah.

Guys, do you know who's caught my eye recently?

Let me tell you.

This guy right here.

OP Dada

For those who don't know him, let me tell you who he is.

This is the Lagos state gubernatorial candidate.

First of all,

I just have one question.

How is somebody in politics this freaking fine?

Oh, well done!

What? You don't believe what she's saying?

If he's our only hope, then we're doomed.

Ah!

I had no idea you're so interested in Nigeria politics.

I'm not.

Well,

I don't think he's such a bad guy.

I think he's pretty decent actually.

You don't even know him.

I don't need to know him, baby.

Hey Ted FM listeners,

up next we're diving to one of our biggest hits, Olufunmi.

So wherever you are sit back, relax and let this smooth music by Style Plus…

Relax.

Babe.

- Babe, babe. - What?

Babe.

It's not like you're addressing the Heads of State here.

I know these women very well and I can win them over in two seconds.

- It's not a big deal. - I have real ideas that could change

the way things work in this country.

I don't want them to just see me as their "iyawo".

Okay.

I absolutely love the way that you think.

But the truth is,

they'd only ever see you as just as my iyawo.

So, how about we focus on how gorgeous you look in this dress?

And leave the rest to me.

You'll be just fine.

Yeah.

Opeyemi Dada is gaining popularity across the board,

promising to appoint women in more than

fifty percent of high ranking government positions.

Through his Girl Now initiative.

His opponent Tunde Ijoba

remains confident as he trails through the South-West.

- In a few weeks time the results - Baby.

will speak for themselves.

We should discuss wedding plans.

I mean you've been around for what?

- Three months now? - Transparency, accountability

- Ife. - He expresses commitment

to address key issues

- Babe. - …such as education,

Babe.

Yes?

Did you hear me?

Yes, sorry.

I think I need more time, Paul.

Time?

I don't understand what you mean by time, Ife.

We've been engaged for almost a year already.

Look,

Ife,

if this is all about the wedding stress, I promise you don't have to lift a finger.

I'm sure Ari and your mom

are very willing to take up that responsibility.

- We just need to settle things... - I really don't think

I can do this right now.

So we should remain engaged forever.

Uh?

Look, my daughter is getting married, and weddings are very expensive.

Besides, that old man doesn't needs the land.

So we'd do whatever it takes to get it from him,

and then everything will be fine.

Okay?

Um, I really, I can't talk.

Look we'd plan later, right? Okay.

Women are a pivotal part of this economy.

But our power and influence

are so constantly over looked.

This is why is so special for me to be a part of this movement.

And so I hope you can hear me when I say that

there is no one more capable of getting the job done,

than this man right here.

He's an advocate for women's rights,

an ally, and a pioneer of this initiative.

Our future governor of Lagos state,

my husband,

Opeyemi Dada.

Chief Mrs. Benson, I have been calling, and calling.

I'm sure is because

You don't have my number I'll call you again.

Oh, it's so great

To see you

- Oh Mrs. Afede there you are. - If I say PF, you say P

- PF! - Anjola darling,

- it's so good to see you… - PF

- PF - P

- PF - P

- Thank you. - What are you doing here?

- Women of Lagos… - I thought you'd be happy to see me.

- Women supporting women. - …lt's truly an honor to stand

before you today.

But sadly, it has been all talk and no action,

when it comes to the inclusion of women

- in today's politics. - So true, so true.

But I'm here to tell you that the time for action is now.

Oh! well said, Well said

Also, it is a privilege

to have such strong women in my life,

and they have shown me how paramount

it's to have women included in today's politics

to achieve success in Lagos state,

and our country, Nigeria.

Thank you for being strong trail blazers.

Women of Lagos, I applaud you.

Oh! well said, well said, so good.

- Thank you ma'am. - Thank you so much

- for coming today. - Yes.

Um…

- Thank you. - You're welcome sir.

Ife, what's all this really about?

I don't think I can be who or what you need right now.

God knows I love you, Paul.

If not I won't have stuck it out for this long.

Yeah, what does that mean, Ife?

You know, I cannot believe

that I stood by you all this while

only for you to embarrass me

- like this. - It's not about you.

Really?

Being back here in Lagos…

- It hasn't been good for me at all. - Tell me how's it not been good for you?

Uh?

What problems do you have, Ife?

You're back home.

You have a nice house in Ikoyi

You have a car, you get allowance.

Above all, you have a man who truly loves you.

What more do you want?

Huh?

Do you even see me, Paul?

Can't you see that I'm struggling?

You know what?

I'm tired.

Tired of walking on eggshells with you.

How am I suppose to see you if you'll not talk to me?

I mean,

it's borderline crazy.

I'm sorry, okay?

I didn't mean to say that.

Ife.

I'm in love with you.

- You should go. - Please stop.

Please.

I'll find my way home.

Ife, hey.

I love, look, I love you.

- Okay? I'm sorry that I upset you. - Stop it.

Stop! Stop it! Ah!

Look, um…

I think,

maybe, um, this is a mistake.

Maybe we're not meant to be.

Wow.

You know one day,

you're truly going to need me

and I won't be there.

Ah! Anjola!

Oh, it went well, it was so good.

What?

- Yetide. - Hmm?

This is not the place for any of your games, Okay?

This campaign is bigger than anything

that you could ever dream of.

Why are you being so defensive?

We're all struggling for a piece of the national cake.

- Yes. - And that right there captures

- what is wrong with this country. - Really?

People such as yourself who cannot phantom

that we're actually trying to do something good.

Anjola, you and your son are not better than I am.

Okay? So you better watch yourself.

And don't forget I know a thing or two

that will make you regret waking up this morning.

- You're crazy. - Yes!

Threaten me one more time and I'll destroy you

- before you can buy another fake... - Mother?

- Is everything okay? - Oh absolutely.

You know the usual political banter.

Yeah very passionate.

Oh my goodness, Ope, look at you!

All grown up, ah!

We're so proud of you.

- Um, thank you Mrs… - Oh God!

You don't remember me, can you imagine?

Ife's mommy, you remember Ife don't you?

Yes. Ah, our wife,

I am so sorry that I wasn't at the wedding,

but they didn't invite me.

I'm sure that they're taking good care of you.

I'm certain of it.

Ah! Talking about weddings,

guess who's getting married? Just take a wild guess. Guess.

Ife.

Yes! Ife is getting married.

It's going to be amazing.

I will send your invite.

- It will be an honor to have you there. - Ope, chief is on his way out.

I want you to catch him and you know

and continue with that conversation.

Kelechi, we need to go upstairs

- and speak to Mrs... - Ma'am, my regards.

Yes, our governor.

- …before she leaves. - And yes, so my wife,

eh? We'll be expecting you.

I'll send the invite. Right?

Uh! See you there.

Mrs.Cole. Mrs.Cole.

Ah! Mrs. Cole!

Ari,

What are you doing here?

How can you be addressing important women

in your life and I'm not on the list?

Just stop it.

You need to leave…

- now. - Hey! Let me at least say hi to Mommy.

Trust me, my mother doesn't want to say hello to you.

So that's it, I should just go?

Excuse ma, I'll walk you to your car.

Uh, Ope!

You stink of alcohol.

Look, just go to bed if you like okay.

We'll talk about this in the morning. Good night, darling.

Yes Ari.

Ife.

What's wrong?

Long story.

Best friend I can't lie, it feels like you abandoned me and it hurts.

I'm sorry.

I didn't expect being back will be this hard on me.

You should be having fun planning your wedding.

Not sad and depressed and walking around.

Hm? So you just say when,

and we'll go and see the wedding planner.

It's about time you know?

Mm-mm, no wedding planner Ari, please.

Seriously, I can't deal with any of that right now.

Okay.

So, what's the long story?

Which man's drama do we have today?

Man drama?

That's if I had a man.

Love you, Ari.

Love you too bubbles.

Drinks this Friday?

Hello…

Hello…

What is this that I hear about you trying to break up with Paul?

Of course he called you.

There's a lot at stake with this wedding. Don't you understand?

After you father's death I had struggled

to secure our place in the society.

- I don't want the same for you. - I just want to be free.

Mommy.

From everything.

What kind of problem is this?

This is not the time to be fragile.

Hm? I need you to toughen up.

Look,

I need you to handle something for me.

Our liveli…

Your livelihood depends on it.

What is it?

Right, you know…

Things have been hard,

And your father left us with nothing.

And I've been struggling financially.

It's been from from bill to bill to bill

and then there was school fees.

Though now things are at the breaking point.

- How can I help, Mommy? - Great. So,

you remember that land we have in Epe?

Yes, there's this man, this old man.

That won't leave that land.

Right? He's a squatter.

I… I need you to get the title of the land from him.

So we can complete the pending sale.

Who's squatting? Isn't that your uncle?

I thought the land belongs to him.

Are you deaf?!

Must I keep repeating myself?

Debts and lies! That's all your father left behind!

All your father left behind, lies and debts.

I need you to go there and get that man to move...

Why me?

The man doesn't even know me.

Because the land was supposed to be yours,

Ifelayo.

Your grandma wanted you to have that land.

Uh?

She wanted you to have it, she was so passionate about it.

She died before she could change her will.

You see this anger that you're showing,

I want you to use it,

to use it to get back what belongs to you.

Ife,

I am counting on you to do this.

- Okay? - Okay.

Good.

I'm just coming from the Dada, their event.

Remind me to make sure their name is on the guest list, okay.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

I told you that there was nothing to worry about.

When all this started,

you promised that I'll be your partner,

your equal.

I don't know that you've been living up to your promise, Ope.

I'm just trying to protect you from the evil of politics.

I don't need protection.

I had my own dreams of running for governor when you met me.

My father did not speak to me for weeks

when I told him I put those dreams on hold for you.

I gave up all those dreams to be by your side.

This is not a joke.

I want to make real change, Ope.

And you will.

Okay, I just need you to trust me.

I'm doing what's best for us to win.

Why is it always you who knows what's best?

Okay.

When have you ever known me to lose?

You have to trust me.

I'm your husband.

And you have to trust me to always do what's best.

For us.

What's the story with this Ife girl?

She came up quite a lot today.

She's a nobody.

She's irrelevant.

Her mom was doing a little too much.

You're a Dada now.

You'll soon get used to having these leeches around.

Thank you, auntie Mary.

She didn't say anything.

Ife, what happened?

Ife.

Let's go inside.

Mary!

Uh… You've not serviced a loan in years.

Now the bank is threatening

the possession of the house.

Look, Ifelayo will come back with the paper signed.

We'll sell the land and everything will be fine.

But honestly, you should talk to the bank.

They need to give us more time.

You look worried.

Mr. Adisa, I pay you too much money for you to look worried.

- Speaking about payment, ma... - Don't… test me, Adisa.

Don't try it.

Auntie…

I have the most beautiful, and exclusive fabric for you, bride's mom.

Is there anything else?

You can leave.

Ari.

It's a very…

very…

bad idea for you to come see me while I'm working.

I thought you like surprises.

Don't ever do that again.

This won't be the first time a female civil servant is harassed

at her place of work and nothing is done about it.

We're working with legal, and law enforcement

to make sure Mrs. Salawu gets justice.

This is what my husband and I are fighting for.

This what we stand for.

Excellence, and justice must prevail.

Mrs. Salawu, don't worry, okay? It will be sorted out.

My darling take care, you'll be alright, okay?

Okay.

So….

How's the wife?

- Ari, Ari… - Hm-mm?

Mind your business.

Oh I would, if I didn't see how much you needed me.

- Ari. - Uh.

Kelechi supports me ways that

you might otherwise find difficult.

That's not what you were saying five minutes ago.

One second.

Paul, hi.

No I haven't, but I'm sure she's fine.

Okay, will do.

I don't know when I became Ife's personal bodyguard.

I don't know why girl like you,

is hanging out with someone like her.

You can do much, much better.

What is it with you two?

I mean, she's been a really good friend

for a really long time.

- I just feel like she needs me. - Ari, Ari, shh…

- She needs help. - Yeah.

You always has been the center of everyone's universe, don't you?

Uh-huh!

So…

when do I see you again?

I'll call you.

Move your hand

- from there! - Baba please.

- That's how you'll be misbehaving. - Baba, don't say that. He's just a child.

- Ah-ah! - Baba… stop… Ouch!

- Move away, leave him alone. - What are you doing? Ah-ah!

- Please he's only a child. Please. - What… What is the matter?

Get out of there. Leave him!

Auntie! Please!

What we are doing here is none of your concern

Thank you. Stand up.

- Are you okay? - Get up!

Wherever you like, run to!

Look at you!

Who are you? Where did you come from?

I'm Ife.

Mommy Yetide's grand daughter.

Oh! So you've come to investigate!

Let me tell you, this land and property you see here belongs to me!

You're squatting on land that doesn't even belongs to you.

What did she say?

She said this land, we should not be here.

- You? From your mouth? - Baba, Baba!

Baba, please.

If you come back here…

- If you come back here, you'll see! - Baba please.

- You, that child! - Baba, please! Baba!

I'll deal with you today. Let's see how you'll escape.

Who is she, what does she want?!

Ope Dada and the PFP are clueless

when it comes to good governance

I went to school with Ope Dada.

Trust me.

He's a snake in the grass.

Gentlemen,

for the first time, we have a squeaky-clean candidate.

No funny business.

Hm, true.

Your father, should be proud of you, huh?

My boy, it's time to move forward.

The town hall is next, are you ready?

Yes sir, very ready.

Of course I'm ready.

Ah-ah!

What is this girl looking for?

Isn't this the same girl?

- Ah-ah! - Auntie.

I can't leave.

- What kind of rubbish is this? - Even if I wanted to.

- What exactly is the matter? - Baba.

- Isn't this the girl I said should go? - Please!

She couldn't go. What if she's lost?

And what if she's lost?

- Don't bring me trouble! I've warned you. - Please.

Don't be angry, thank you.

Come on!

Come quickly.

Thank you for talking to him.

Mm-hmm.

Get… Go back. What's that? Take off your shoes!

Sorry.

I'm not naive.

Oh really?

You have the strength to wade through the strong currents.

Grandma, it's hard to be strong.

Hope no problem.

Where from?

Who are you looking for?

Baba…

I think you know why I'm here.

What are you saying?

My mother and…

I think that it might be time for you to leave this place.

We'd find you a comfortable home.

Somewhere very nice.

So that we can use this land to it fullest potential, Baba.

It's your mother's words I'm hearing from your mouth.

If your mother was not such a foolish person, sending you on a foolish errand!

You should know it's a foolish errand. You don't know what you are doing.

Weren't you told I inherited this land from my ancestors?!

I own this land and I don't want to see you here!

You are a foolish person, you don't know what you're doing.

Huh?

Running foolish errands.

What is wrong with you?

Will you get out of here!

Baba why do you have so much hatred

towards me, you don't even know me.

I've said my piece, stay far away from me!

Please once my car is fixed I'll go.

I might not understand all that you've said,

but I heard come and I heard go, so go!

Auntie.

Before you go, come.

Did she tell you that she wants to eat?

What can I do?

Come.

Imagine!

Did she tell you that she wants to eat?

Look…

- Ah-ah! - Uh.

- Sorry. I… - Woah, woah! Ah-ah!

- Auntie. Ah-ah! - Sorry, I…

Give it to me.

Ope Dada married that woman purely as a political move.

Her mother was a Chief Justice,

her father, a very wealthy businessman.

And the Dadas don't make marriage decisions at random.

It also happens to be a plus because she's a very beautiful woman.

But if I was her, I'd watch my back.

Because the Ope Dada that I know, cares about himself and only himself.

Hey.

Where were you?

You didn't show up for the Salawu visit

and you never call me back.

I'm sorry about that, I…

I had a fund raising meeting.

Did you marry me for political connections?

It's absurd.

Look,

Tunde has been jealous of me since we're kids.

Okay? He's been envious of my girlfriends,

envious of my wife.

This is not important.

Pay him no mind.

It's easy for you to say, Ope.

I'm the one looking like a fool.

I've worked too hard for him to speak so lowly of me.

Okay.

Babe.

- What? - Right now I'm going to need you

To calm down.

Okay just…

Calm down.

Now I know that,

This might not be the right time to bring this up.

But at the fund raising meeting,

we're thinking that maybe your dad could make a donation.

You can't be serious.

Babe.

Come on.

You know that we've put all our money in for this campaign.

Oh, maybe it'd be easier to ask him for a check

if you call him once in a while, Ope.

I know.

But I've been busy.

My schedule is ridiculous.

And also,

you know that if you

ask him.

He won't say no.

Please.

Fine.

But you have to do something about that man running his mouth.

I will, I promise.

I promise. Okay?

My beautiful wife.

See my Igbo is getting better.

Yes.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

See how it looks?

Is it supposed to look like that?

Maybe there's something we can buy to fix it.

I'm sure there's a solution.

- Uh, Funmi? - Baba.

Wait, what is her business? What is she looking for?

Ah-ah!

Is it that you don't have a family or a home?

- Baba, please take it easy. - What is her business?

What is her business?

- Please, don't be angry. - Alright.

I'm going to the hut. Bring…

bring the yams to me.

Okay sir.

Is he always like this?

- Auntie… - Hm?

You need to be careful before speaking.

- Ah! - Why can't we just go

to the local market and buy something.

You guys can't be selling much at this rate.

See,

if you can convince baba to buy something new it'll really help you guys.

And with the state of this place,

some extra money will be good, you know.

This place?

This place?

- I didn't mean it like that. - Auntie this place?

Auntie look.

This place might not mean much to you,

but it means a lot to baba and I.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you.

You insulted me. What is it?

Auntie, I don't understand you.

- And you don't understand yourself. - Funmi

Just go! Take!

See you behaving suspicious.

This way!

Look...

Since she's been back to Nigeria, she's been distant,

she's been absence minded.

Everything I do literally pisses her off.

She does not speak to me.

And when she does, all she says

is that she's having mental health difficulties adjusting to Lagos.

You kids and all this mental health talk?!

What does it even mean?

There's nothing wrong with her, she's fine.

And you, Paul. Ah-ah!

Stop running around like a headless chicken.

Everything is fine.

Or don't you trust me?

That's good!

Don't worry yourself at all.

You just go back to the office, and go and do what yo do best.

Go and make more money.

When she's back home I'll let you know okay?

No worry, you don't need to worry about anything.

- Okay ma. - Alright dear.

Mommy. Thank you ma.

- No problem my dear. - Have a nice day

- You too my dear. - Okay ma.

- Alright ma. - Do you hear?

- Look after yourself! - Thank you ma.

Alright.

What is wrong with this girl? Is she the only one?

Please don't be angry, I know it's not a lot, you're all we have.

That's what you said the last time.

Do you know the cost petrol now?

Please don't be angry.

Thank you.

My auntie's car broke down on the road.

- Really? - Yes.

Please, what can you do?

She has money, she'll pay you.

Yes please.

I'll need a way to get out of here when Baba is finally tired of me.

I think I should be going now ma, but I'll come back with some tools.

Funmi.

Funmi can I ask you something?

- Hm - What's the real story with

Baba and this farm?

It just feels like I'm missing something.

Uh…

Baba

and your grandfather.

Collected this farm from their father.

But your grandfather doesn't like to work on the farm, he wanted to travel to Lagos.

But baba didn't have interest in that.

One day, your grandfather,

went to Lagos with his family and with all their money.

Baba suffered.

But your grandfather came back to apologise, but baba disagreed.

He also wanted to payback

the money he took then, but Baba refused it.

So, put yourself in his shoes, for him to be seeing you

here doing the same thing your grandfather did to him.

Trust me Funmi, if I knew any of this I'd never have come here.

Really?

What?

Did I send you? Huh?

Did I?

It's pesticide.

Do you understand?

She told me she was going back to Lagos 3 days ago.

She has not gone.

Do you understand? She's in my house eating my food

and drinking as she likes.

What am I going to do with this?

- What's the use? - How many yams survive this last harvest?

- What did she say? - How much corn did we take

- to the market last time? - What's her business?

- Let's just try it. - Let's just try and use.

If I try it and it doesn't work I don't want to hear anything else.

- Uh… - Auntie,

thank you.

Thank you.

- Just look for somewhere to keep them. - Alright.

Are we just trying things like this?

- Am I a novice in farming? - Thank you.

Thank you, Baba.

- Make sure you uproot those dry ones. - That's what I'm doing.

Hey Ari.

Ife, where the hell are you?

You won't believe me if I told you.

Paul has been a mess.

Your mom won't stop calling me. Everybody is worried.

What do you mean by everyone?

Bubbles, this is Lagos, no such thing as a secret.

Ari…

I just needed to focus on myself.

Ife, my launch is tomorrow

and I need you here.

Ari, is going to be so busy you won't even know I'm not there.

Come on, it's a big day for me, and I need my best friend by my side.

I'll think about it.

Fine. But wait, I have a question.

Do you put spare panties in your car,

or are you just going commando wherever you are?

Ari.

Hello. Hello.

Bitch.

You look very handsome.

Thank you mom.

Ah, it looks like someone is trying to impress mommy.

When last did you make a home-cooked meal for me?

Please don't listen to him mom.

It not like he's ever at home.

Hm, trust me my dear, I know.

Ope expects everyone to be perfect, everyone except himself,

that is.

Kelechi, all of this looks lovely, but I am here

to discuss something very important with the both of you.

Hm.

You have to get pregnant.

- Good morning. - Yes.

Good night. Good afternoon.

Hypocrite.

Baba, are you hearing auntie?

Auntie.

You can be sold in the market

with this your amateur Yoruba

Look, her grandmother was a good woman.

Yes!

- I miss her so much. - Hm.

Baba,

what does it mean?

The song.

It means that,

no matter what you are.

If you're bold enough,

you're bold and not scared

of anything…

Big things will be scared of you.

What happened?

- Did she understand? - Yes!

Welcome to the family.

You just sat there, and let her make decisions for us.

At least have the balls to tell me the truth to my face.

Next she'll be making us a roster for when to have sex.

Kelechi, as long as Chief Mrs. Dada is alive…

We are going to have to play by her handbook.

The sooner you realise that, the better.

I did not sign up to be used as a political play thing.

- My family name means... - Come off it!

You know exactly what was going to happen when we got together.

Do you think that you keep pressing on like some

glorified feminist for the rest of your life?

To be by my side you have to give up all those big stupid dreams that you have.

Remember, nobody forced you.

- I did this because I love you, Ope. - If you love me,

you will shut the fuck up and let me put a baby inside you.

Now come here.

Come here.

No, well, not like this.

- Not like this. - Hey, you're my wife.

Stop it.

Stop! What the fuck is wrong with you?

Funms.

- Auntie? - Hm?

What are you doing?

I'm going back to Lagos in the morning.

- Auntie - Hm?

Please don't forget us.

How could I ever?

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you more, Funmi.

Come here.

I'll miss you too.

I guess I'm seeing you tonight.

Wait, hold on, one drink, one champagne.

Ah? Are you people trying

to sabotage my party? Gosh! What an idiot.

More talking, less shouting, Ari.

Oh please.

When you've lived here as long as I have,

you'll know that shouting is the only way a woman gets what she wants.

Good morning mommy.

I'm sorry.

I had a lot on my mind.

And being here made me feel like there was no way out.

We're on the brink of ruin

and you're more concerned about your feelings.

Shouldn't I be doing that for once?

- All these years you never let me... - Me! Me!

That's all I hear. Me!

Madam,

now that you had your "me" time, is everything crystal clear?

Just hand over the papers so I can

send them to Adisa and they can start work on

the transactions.

Baba owns that farm outright.

You have no right to it.

Even when he dies that farm won't belong to you.

You lied.

You told me that place belonged to me.

And why didn't you tell me you grew up there?

How does that affect the task that you are handed, Ife?

Mommy, that farm is all they have.

- Doesn't family mean anything to you? - You've known those people

for all of five minutes, yet you call them family.

You don't care if I live on the street do you?

You really don't care about me.

Other girls are out there struggling, fighting for their mothers.

Not you.

I wish you took after me.

I don't know why I expected more from you.

Mommy I'm sorry.

- I... - You're just…

I'll handle it myself as usual.

Of course she called you.

Hi.

Hey.

Ife, I'm sorry.

Sorry for putting pressure on you about the wedding, about everything.

No Paul.

I'm sorry.

For disappearing, for cutting you off.

I just had a lot of things I needed to work through.

I have so much to tell you.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You know we don't have to go for this party.

Ari will kill me.

Yes she will.

Thank you for being here.

I'll always be here.

Okay?

Stop. Okay so there's…

Right after you.

It went well, honestly.

Please excuse me...

One second

Where is the waist?

Hm.

Bubbles it so good to see you.

- I mean you look stunning. - What do you expect?

- Congratulation. - Thank you. Hi Paul.

- Hey Ari, it's really good to see you. - Thank you.

- Congratulations - Thank you, oh!

- Auntie, it so good to see you - Oh, my darling.

Oh my goodness! This is amazing.

- Thank you. - Well done.

- Mommy. - My darling, how are you?

It looks like my surprise is here.

- That's Mrs. Ojo. - I'll be right back.

I wonder who the surprise is.

Maybe it's the governor.

Or Ayra Star.

Imagine if Ayra Star was to perform at our wedding.

That will be so cool, right?

Surprise…

Ife, look who's here.

Uh.

Not the governor, of course.

Good evening everyone, good evening.

Wow.

Ife Fadairo.

It's been what, ten? Ah… no!

Fifteen years.

Since prom night.

No, really? How's that even possible?

Life happens.

Well, Ife has just moved back from the UK with her fiancé.

Hey, uh…

Paul.

Paul Ajayi.

Look, we're huge fans of yours.

We're rooting for you to win the next election.

Thank you so much.

- My governor. - I really appreciate that one.

- Thank you. - Good to meet you.

Um, this is my beautiful wife, Kelechi.

It a pleasure to meet you ma'am.

The pleasure is mine.

Hello.

We met your mom the other day, and she had so much to say about you.

It's great to put a face to the name.

- So how do you all know each other? - High School.

Wow, Ope you didn't give your wife the history?

We go way, way, way back.

Um, excuse me just a minute.

Um,

one second please.

My governor.

I just wanted to, you know

let you know that if you ever need a legal counsel, I'm your guy.

Our Lagos branch just opened you know only few months ago. So

here's my card.

Thank you.

Thank you, my governor.

Please let's welcome the creative genius, Ari Suleiman.

Thank you all so much for being here at the launch of Arisol.

We've been working tirelessly to bring this vision to life.

And so as you sip on your very chilled champagne,

please get ready to buy.

- Spend your money guys. - That's why you are here.

I'd also like to take a moment to thank a long time friend of mine,

who could have been anywhere else but he chose to be here.

My friend, Ope Dada who is running

for Lagos state governor.

My governor!

Let's welcome him to the stage.

When I say P.F you say P.

- PF! - P!

That's the energy. Thank you so much.

Usually, I have my speeches well prepared.

But thanks to my good friend here, Ari.

Who's keeping me on my ten toes as usual.

Our new government, our new leadership,

will be deeply rooted in honesty,

transparency, and most importantly accountability.

No longer

will our services be shrouded in secrecy.

No longer will people be operating in the darkness.

Everything will be brought to light.

When I become governor of Lagos State.

Tell me you're not sleeping with him.

Would you like me to lie you?

- Ari. - Yes?

Look, there are…

Things you need to know.

- From prom night. - Prom night?

Babe, this is not the time to be reminiscing.

- Ari, just listen to me. - Listen, calm down.

Stop! Stop!

Shh… shh… shh…

Ife… Ife…

Always useless!

He raped me, Ari!

On prom night.

Did you hear what I said?

Ope raped me.

Look Ife, you're ruining my event everybody can hear you.

Why are you people looking at me like that?

Like I'm crazy, I'm not crazy.

I'm telling the truth, he ra...

How can you stand there and preach honesty?

- How? - Um…

Guys,

It's very sad, but it's very obvious that this young lady here

- is suffering from a mental breakdown. - He's lying.

- He's lying... - Calm down! Look, we do…

He's lying.

- Don't you dare. I'm not crazy. - Stop.

- He's lying. - Ife,

- just calm down, we'll get you some help. - Don't you dare,

I'm not crazy, I know what I'm saying.

He's a fucking liar, Ope, you're a fucking liar.

- Ari, Ari, Ari. - Fuck you!

- Ari, honestly she needs… - Fuck you!

…some medical attention.

So please uh... could we attend to that please?

- Ari. - You're getting married.

Why are you doing this now? No?

This is not about you.

- Ari. - Jesus Christ!

- My event. - Hey, we need to leave.

Now look at me. Look at me.

We need to leave now okay.

Hey, hey! Put your cameras down.

My love look at me, please we need to go, we need to leave now.

Baby…

So um...

Sorry about that ladies and gentlemen.

I'll have to cut short my lovely evening with you all.

And we'll be taking legal action against this slander.

I can assure you that there'll be consequences.

So please enjoy your lovely evening,

and enjoy your chilled champagne.

And I'll see you all very, very soon.

Ife, Ife, Ife...

Ife, Ife.

Stop. Ife!

- What Paul? - Stop.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

- If I did... - If you knew, you'd do what?

What? You wouldn't love me,

you wouldn't want me?

No, Ife.

I could have helped.

We could've done something about it together.

Because I love you.

I will always love you, Ife.

Car keys.

The car keys.

Look, Ife, it's…

- Your ex, Ope. - We're not going to do this here.

Ope, what the hell. Uh?

What is Ife talking about?

Why don't you tell me.

You're the one who let your crazy friend on the loose.

And now you're here asking me stupid questions.

Excuse me?

Excuse me.

Hm?

What kind of man are you?

I swear you're going to pay for it. You're going to pay for this.

You freaking rapist.

You'll definitely pay for it, I swear.

Mommy look,

I tried to reach her, I cannot find her, I cannot reach her.

We need to do something about this.

Please Paul.

I will not partake in this, her senseless cry for attention.

I'll be waiting there.

How can you be so calm after what just happened?

Look, that girl has obviously lost her mind.

How long have you been sleeping with her?

Okay, I'm sorry.

It's uh...

a bad habit I've been struggling to get rid of.

But after tonight I promise you,

it's definitely over.

A bad habit?

Did our vow mean nothing to you?

Did you ever stop sleeping with her?

Okay, I'm sorry.

But that's all that I'm going to say.

Why did you ask me for a child…

when you're doing all of this behind my back.

Are you even thinking, Ope?

- Who am I to you really? - Okay, that's enough!

I've apologized.

I have apologized.

Now you're going to accept that apology and you're going to move on.

Did you rape that girl, Ope?

How dare you

ask me a stupid question like that?

How can I believe anything that comes out of your mouth?

A week ago, you told me she was no one to worry about.

Tonight I finally confronted my abuser.

And I feel like it is important to say in detail

What Opeyemi Dada did to me fifteen years ago.

On the 9th of June, 2005.

The day of my secondary school graduation.

I attended an after party,

hosted at the Dada mansion, in Ikeja, GRA.

Girl... where have you been?

It was supposed to be a fun night for me.

See, I never…

went for parties as a teenager,

so this was a new experience,

and I was actually having fun with my friends.

Until…

until a game of truth or dare came up.

Guys, truth or dare now. Let's go.

And…

very quickly.

Dare.

The night became my worst nightmare.

That night I was raped,

by Opeyemi Dada.

I was seventeen.

Shy,

soft spoken.

Excited about leaving secondary school.

Excited for what my future held.

I never ever looked at Ope in any kind of romantic way.

He was my best friend boyfriend,

but for some reason he felt I have a crush on him.

I told him that I never felt that way.

I asked him to stop.

I begged him to stop.

This…

is who you people want to vote as your next governor.

Kelechi, if you're watching, this is the person you married.

A rapist,

a narcissist, a liar.

I've been silent for too long.

Opeyemi Dada.

Is a rapist.

And certainly should not hold any position in power.

Ife.

I swear to God I will kill that guy.

Paul, shut up and sit down. You're killing no one.

Sit.

Ife.

I'm sorry that you've been going through all this.

I really am.

But tonight was a big night for me and you completely ruined it.

You must be joking, Ari.

How do I even expect you to understand? Huh?

You don't work, you do nothing for yourself.

Do you know how hard I worked for this?

Hmm? How much money I spent.

You embarrassed all of us.

Why haven't you said anything all these years? Huh?

Why tonight, why today

- of all days? Why now? - Well, at least we all know

that you're sleeping with him.

Is that why you can't see

- how evil that man is? - Oh whatever, Ife.

Ope has always been a self-centered prick but I've loved him all the same.

He's been there for me and he's protected me,

And he's been constant more than you've ever been.

It's always, "Oh Ife is sad. Ife is depressed. Ife can't cope."

Do you ever think of anybody but yourself?

He literally married another woman, Ari.

- I don't understand this foolish loyalty. - Hh.

- It's pathetic. - Wow.

- You're pathetic - Okay.

- And you're offly quiet, Mommy. - Mmh

Please tell them.

Tell them why I haven't spoken up all these years.

You don't go on the internet,

and air your dirty laundry?

That's not the way.

You're not the first person to be raped.

What happened to sucking it up and moving on?

That's what you do!

That's what we all did.

- Sucking it up and moving on? - Yes.

Listen to yourself, Mommy.

How can you let them force us into silence like this?

I will say my truth.

Oh Ife,

Ifelayo, use your head.

Truth doesn't mean a thing.

Those people,

will pull strings that you didn't know were there.

And you'll be the one that will be too ashamed to show your face in public.

Ever.

I can take them to court.

You stand no chance in winning a fight against that family, Ife.

Babe look, the court will ask for physical evidence to prove the assault.

- But we can try. - I'm done

waiting for someone to fight for me.

I'll do it.

I will fight for me.

Fighter, please fight.

Madam fighter.

Our politician is still rolling around

with big babe, Ari Suleiman

behind is wife's back.

See the look on her face. That poor lady had no clue what was going on.

I mean, come on, this was someone who preaches

women's right, equality up and down.

In my opinion, that man cannot be trusted.

I've been on a wrong side for a long time.

He rapped me, Ari.

Girl, you're lying.

You're helping them mock us. Huh?

How did this happen?

You're not the first to have girlfriends, are you?

Huh?

Why can't young men handle their women?

Put that girl on a leash.

Hm?

Clean this mess.

Yes sir.

Chris is very good at what he does.

And he'll be handling this.

I hope so.

None of these surprises me.

But in all of this, it's Miss Fadairo I feel bad for.

Forced into silence.

And let me ask you.

How can you trust a man who enforces his power and status on young women like that?

Now I'm not hear to tell you what to do.

Alright.

But think about it.

If there was even the slightest chance that this was true.

Would you want a man like that leading you? Hm?

Babe.

What's going on?

Where are you going?

I'm done, Ope. I didn't sign up for this.

I didn't do it.

Look, I can prove to you that that girl is a liar.

You'll not only want me to only deal with you

being an adulterer but also possibly a rapist.

I'm sorry, Ope. I can't.

Kay...

Kay…

Wait Ke… Ke… wait. Just wait please. Please.

Hear me out okay.

I'm sorry that it's taking me this long to see how

selfish,

how self-centered,

how cruel

I've have been to you.

Kay, I'm sorry.

Look but I swear I'll change.

But I didn't do it.

I didn't.

The campaign is in the bin,

and you've made a mockery of our marriage.

What will people say about me, Ope?

How do I explain this to my dad?

- How? - I don't care.

About the campaign.

All I care about is fixing things between us.

Kay,

You're my number one.

Please.

If you leave me now,

I will never recover.

Please don't leave.

Don't leave me, please.

Ife Fadairo set the internet ablaze

when she made some very wild accusations

against Opeyemi Dada.

Some say she's brave. I say she's crazy.

But today we get to hear her side of the story.

Welcome to the show, Ife.

So why, after so many years have you finally decided to speak out?

Is there an expiration date on speaking on your trauma?

I guess not.

I had only been back living in Lagos for a few months

before election season kicked off.

Seeing his face

plastered on big posters everywhere

preaching accountability,

I couldn't in good conscience stay quiet.

So all of this is for a greater course?

And not some revenge plot dating back to secondary school?

How?

When he picked your best friend over you.

That's not true I never liked him, I told him that.

But you didn't sleep with him?

Nothing between him and I was consensual.

How do we prove that now, fifteen years later?

Did you speak to anyone

when this alleged incident happened?

I tried, I tried so hard to help her. I just… Ah.

I told my mother.

- And? - There's no police report

because she didn't report it.

So, you want us to believe that you were raped

- when your own mother didn't believe you - I didn't say that.

Is it true that at the age of nineteen you were

committed to a psychiatric facility in the UK?

- That was a long time ago. - But Opeyemi Dada

is from a respectable family,

and his proven time and time again to be an upright citizen.

You, an ex-patient from a mental home, why should we believe you?

And what's surprising is that no one has come out publicly to stand by you.

Why's that Ife?

I'm not lying.

You know that making false sexual assault accusations

is very dangerous, right?

What is your response

to the accusations made against you in the last few days?

First and foremost, I, Opeyemi Dada stand by the survivors of sexual abuse.

Miss Ife Fadairo suffers

from very serious mental health conditions for many years.

And these conditions forced her to say untrue things

and also to hallucinate.

Her family had to struggle with this for a very long time.

But now the Dada family will step in and help

in any way that we can, financially or otherwise.

I've been trying to get a hold of you.

I've been dealing with a whole lots of stuff as you know.

But thankfully everything is starting to clear up now.

I saw the interviews, Ope.

It was bad. Ife is not crazy.

You know I'll do anything to win this election.

Of course.

You don't care about anyone but yourself.

Ari, why did you invite me here?

You fucked her.

You fucked her and you kept if from me all these years.

When did you become so self-righteous?

You've been fucking

a married man for almost all your adult life.

I've loved you my whole life.

And I've stood by you even after you married her.

Why would you do this to me?

Eh?

Why would you do this to us?

Ari.

The truth is…

I should have married you.

I would have married you.

But my mother.

Ari, don't be like that.

Don't be like that.

I feel absolutely nothing for Kelechi.

And this Ife drama is…

It's becoming something else.

But I admit…

I messed up many, many years ago.

We were young.

We were stupid.

We had been drinking.

But I swear to you I'm a changed man.

I'm different now.

Ari.

I'm scared.

I'm scared, if the truth comes out…

I'm finished.

I don't know what will happen to me.

I swear, I never meant for that to happen.

Right now,

I need you…

to believe me. Ari,

I need you.

- Please. - It's okay.

I believe you.

It's okay. I believe you.

I love you.

I love you so much.

So much.

So much.

Ope stop!

- Auntie? Auntie? - Uh?

- Funmi. - Auntie.

Auntie?

- Who did this to you? - I took your advise,

but I don't think it worked.

The… Ah!

Anjola, this is quite a surprise.

To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?

Nah, I doubt that any of these will be pleasant.

I really should fire my security

for allowing you in without my permission.

You know what they say?

You get what you pay for.

- Do you? - Yes.

Like we paid you a million dollars

to keep what happened between Opeyemi and Ife between us.

Now your daughter

has breached our agreement.

And I'm left with no other choice

than to do what is necessary.

Anjola.

You seem to have forgotten that your son is the abuser here.

You should be on your knees begging me for help.

Yetide.

You're crazy.

Beg?

You think that you'll cross me and there won't be consequences?

Clearly, you know who I am.

You're a mother, you know that at this stage

of their lives we have limited control.

I'm not here to judge you as a mother.

We all have our shortcomings.

However, I will not sit by and watch you destroy everything

that I have worked for because your daughter has lost her mind.

I know you're struggling

to keep this house and pay for the wedding.

That's if there's going to be a wedding at this rate. But hey,

that's beside the point.

So I'm here with another offer,

to give you an opportunity to save yourself again.

But trust me if you fail to deliver this time, Yetide,

I will cut you off from everything and everyone.

Auntie you're so bold.

You expressed yourself in the presence of everyone there.

Hm?

But I ran,

again.

Listen!

You don't always win a fight

by throwing the heaviest punch.

You must learn to use your senses and wisdom

then you can be called a victor.

My children can't be cowards.

You must be courageous wherever you are.

It is only a coward that finds an excuse to avoid a fight.

You must be courageous, and not scared.

- Uh! - Mh.

- Baba said... - Explain to her properly.

That's what I'm about to do.

He said, we his children

we're not scared.

We're not cowards.

- Coward? - Yes.

We're not cowards.

Mommy, good evening ma.

What are you doing here so late?

Sit down.

okay.

Have you seen the report?

I told you that it will work.

Chris really knows his job

You actually believe,

that some silly little girl on the TV show is going to stop

that loud mouth monkey from ever opening her mouth again?

Mom…

Mommy what do you expect me to do?

Kill her?

All those years ago

your father believed that the best thing to do was to pay that wretched woman off.

I knew it was a mistake.

But he lacked foresight, could never see far ahead like me.

Now here we are.

I should have let you sleep in the cell,

so you can learn real life consequences.

I failed you.

I can see that now.

But despite my failure,

Opeyemi Dada,

this family has way too much to lose.

Talk to me.

Yeah, I'll be out in a few minutes.

Bye-bye.

Auntie, what happened with Uncle Paul?

Paul.

He's been so kind and supportive.

But it's hard seeing any future with him with all of these hanging over my head.

Ah-ah!

But you love him.

Honestly,

I don't know.

Ah-ah!

Sorry.

How about you?

How is Gbogboade?

Auntie, he's fine oh.

- He's fine. - Really?

- Hm. - What's hm-mm

Auntie, I don't want any trouble.

See, I got pregnant at seventeen.

Everyone neglected me, except baba.

Now Femi is ten, he can't talk, he's not going to school.

Please, I'm not looking for a relationship now, please.

Funmi, you have your whole life ahead of you.

Like, you'll walk through it.

Femi will go to school, see a doctor.

And you can still fall in love.

Get a career, whatever you want.

- Okay? - Really?

Hm hm.

- Alright. - And don't think

I don't see the way you look at him.

Huh, auntie!

Don't start. I'm not looking at anyone. Don't start.

Please sleep. Mmh.

- Good night. - Good night.

- Let go! - Don't you dare.

Auntie.

Stop right there!

You want to come and take away my possessions.

Old man stand down. This does not concern you,

- I'm only here for her. - If you don't stop right there,

- I'll blow your head off! - Stand down!

- Go back inside Femi. - Can't you hear?

Baba, Baba, Baba!

Help me!

Baba!

Help us!

Baba.

Help us!

Femi.

Help us!

Baba!

- Baba! - Let's go!

Help us!

Baba please!

Even without election, you have been elected.

Thank you sir.

- The strong one! - Welcome sir.

Thank you.

Where's Kelechi?

Look, she needs to be here before you mount the stage.

Her make up artist is running late,

but I'm sure she'll be here on time.

Down, go down.

Put your head down, come out.

- Come down! - Jesus!

Push her in! Clown! Move!

- Eh! - Go, go!

Speak of the devil.

Kay, are you here now?

We have your wife, if you want to see her alive,

you get on that stage now and withdraw from this election.

Who's this? Where's Kelechi?

Don't you understand English?

Withdraw or your wife is dead.

We are watching.

What's up? Is she here?

Did I not warn you? Opeyemi.

Did I not warn you?

I told you that she was not going to stop.

See where we are right now.

- Hm? - How's this even possible?

- Look, just last night... - It's always

the same problem with you, you don't listen.

I've told you several times that when people

are desperate they are willing to do anything.

Anything. Now how are you going to fix this?

You have to go on stage now.

Everybody is waiting.

He's right. Get on with it.

Put your brave face on and get on with it.

When I say PF you say P.

- PF. - P.

You know that we have the vision.

You know that we have the talent.

- Yes. - And one thing about the PFP

is that we always fulfill our promises.

- Yes. - That's right.

And this is not just talk,

we have the evidence to back this up.

Because remember, our watchword

is transparency.

So don't mind our competition, because at the PFP

- Justice… - Yes!

…and excellence will reign forever.

Lagos is ours.

Your question.

Thank you. Good afternoon Mr. Dada.

- Good afternoon. - Um, I just have one question.

How do you remain so calm

you know, and really eloquent when I just got a report

that your beautiful wife, Kelechi Dada,

was kidnapped this afternoon.

Can someone get that microphone off that lunatic?

Can someone get that microphone off her?

I mean I'm sure you can confirm that this news is true.

Considering how important transparency is to your administration.

Ah, um…

- Is your wife still alive? - Is it true that your wife was kidnapped?

The whereabouts of Kelechi Dada remains unknown.

In recent days allegations of sexual assaults

and adultery has been made against Opeyemi Dada.

With the election less than three days away,

we're left but wondering who will be

the next governor of Lagos State?

Hello.

Looks like you're calling us bluffs, right?

Why are you doing this to me?

Ife, I know that you're behind all this.

I've lost everything.

I can't afford to lose my wife.

But, you didn't withdraw,

how much do you really love his your wife?

Okay. Fine. I'm sorry.

Kelechi. Okay, what else do you need me to do?

Twenty minutes. 14th floor. Trinity tower. Come alone.

Please let me just speak with her, please.

Hello?

Hello?

Kelechi, where are you?

Somebody answer me.

Surprise, surprise, Ope.

Kay.

Untie me now! Key, untie me.

Kelechi.

What are you doing?

You know.

I really thought there was no hope left for me.

But in all the time I spent running away from you.

Look at me Ope, I'm talking to you.

I was reminded that justice comes in different forms.

So,

you'll go and you will fix the situation permanently

yourself.

Hello.

This is Kelechi.

You're the last person I want to call.

But I think Ife is in danger. You need to warn her.

That bastard has taken everything from me.

I'm sorry, Ife, for everything that he did to you.

For all that he put you through.

Don't apologise for him.

But Baba is dead

and I'm going to make sure he pays for everything.

- What do you want to do? - Look at you now.

You're utterly useless to me.

This is how you choose to betray me, for her?

After all I've done for you.

Look at this one!

What have you done for me?

Did you find me in the gutters when you met me?

I thought maybe the rough sex was this weird kink.

But clearly, there's some twisted thing that you enjoyed about it, sick man.

And to think that I actually considered standing by you

to play the "good wife".

You're done for.

Well…

Please don't forget about me.

You know, to be honest,

I admit that I'd be a little scared,

Maybe you guys had done this thing

without this idiot being part of your master plan.

That's not what you were saying when you were crying

and begging for my forgiveness.

- Fuck you. - Fuck you!

You females failed to realise what's going on here.

Did you know who I am, or do I need to remind you?

I am Opeyemi Dada.

And I belong to one of the prominent families in Nigeria.

What do you think you can do to me?

Huh?

Okay fine.

I raped you,

but I was young. I was barely eighteen.

So what do you think is going to happen now?

Nothing!

What do you think you want to do now? Take me to court?

We own everybody.

We know everybody. We know the judges.

We know the IG of police.

And they're all in my corner.

So there's nothing you can do to me.

So all this foolish wokeness,

- throw it out of the window. - Don't forget you're not just a rapist,

- you're a murderer. - Ife, are you deaf?

Are you listening to anything that I've just said?

Nobody cares.

Nobody cares about some stupid old man

in some stupid farm. No one cares about that little girl

- yelling like a fool! - Ife

- Ife! - Nothing!

This…

is Nigeria.

Need I remind you.

You, untie me.

- Kelechi untie me right now! - You really think

that you can use your power to oppress women?

To make them feel insignificant and small.

Let me tell you something, Ope.

You're the weak one.

You're useless.

You're finished.

And there you have it, people.

Opeyemi Dada has just confessed,

- right here on my live... - Wait, wait. What's this?

What's this rubbish?

Will you take that camera out of my face?

Kelechi.

- Kelechi, come back - Please guys don't ever

- here, Ari. Ari. - Say I never give you anything.

- I… I… I'll sue you! - All of you that said she was lying,

you've heard it now yourself. Right?

- This man has just proven… - Take that camera off my face!

- …to be a murderer… - Do you know who I am?

- I'll sue you for everything you own. - Power hungry,

- vicious liar. - Get… What the hell!

Guys you've heard it from him.

This man can never be our governor,

and that's on period.

Take…

Disgrace of a person!

Hmm, thank you.

You know I kept wondering

how men with guns

knew exactly where to find me.

Ife is all I have left.

Even though she doesn't seem to value her life.

From one mother to another.

Please,

keep her safe.

As for the farm,

burn it to the ground.

Baba died protecting me because you're too selfish to do the right thing.

Was selling me out the first time not enough for you?

Ever since that night,

everything has been about you.

Your depression. Your anger.

Your lack of ambition.

You don't care about what anybody else is going through.

My father,

he fought hard for me not to know poverty.

Yes he hurt a few people along the way but

It was for a good cause. It was for me.

And I did exactly the same thing…

for you.

And you want me to… to… forget about everything that I worked for.

So you can have peace of mind.

To give up my house…

my name,

my pride.

What else do you expect me to do?

To fight for me, Mommy.

I expected you to fight for me.

To make those people pay for what they did to me.

But I survived it all, Mommy.

And I'm finally free…

To heal,

to live,

to do something good with my life.

I really do hope you find that too.

Thank you.

Don't be too sad. Okay?

- We'll be back in a few weeks. - Okay.

Are you ready?
