[lively music]

Excellent. Excellent.

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

Here is to a long,
mutually beneficial relationship.

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

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

Do we, Tsola?

No, we do not.

Folake, behave yourself.

Well, time to pose for the stuffy press.

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

-Business Day.
-Oh! Good.

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

statement concerning the, the deal, okay?

Thank you very much.

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

Sure, sure. Thank you very much.

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

Ill meet you guys back at the office,
okay?

So, Mr. Tunde,

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

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

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

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

Then well see.

Okay. Thats fine. Have a good day.

You too.

[theme song]

[knocking on the door]

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

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

Hey!

[Zuri] Um.

Hey, how did the signing go?

[Tsola] Great!

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

Yeah, I, I wasnt really needed.

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

Also for the photoshoot.

[Zuri] Yeah, thats really not my thing.

My focus is to book the deal.

And, I did just that.

Oh, come on Zuri,

You were instrumental
in making the deal go through.

Your presentation actually
swung the vote in its favor so,

allow yourself enjoy all the accolades.

Uh! Are you actually

complimenting my presentation?

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

Well, maybe theres
something about you that

inspires me to ruffle you up just a bit.

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

[Tsola] You handled yourself pretty well.

[nervous chuckle]

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

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

Your reaction is to be
expected but, go on.

Ahh! [spluttering]

Okay, so, we had our
preliminary meeting and

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

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

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

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

Its great.

Yeah, we've know each other a long time

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

Oh! Well, I, I thought I was.

Okay. You too.

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

Um, dinner?

Yes. Problem?

Um, ah. No.

I mean, yeah. Is it just dinner?

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

I meant dinner like a date.

Im sorry. I never got that vibe from you.

I mean, you never asked
me for my number or

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

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

But we are still in business.

[Tsola] Your company and my firm, yes.

But not me.

I excused myself from taking
lead on this particular operation.

[Tsola] Folake is in charge of that.

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

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

Well, what will your um, girlfriend say?

Girlfriend?

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

[scoffs] Well,

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

on more than one occasion, outside of

work settings, so, you know, I thought er

is this your way of making fun of me?

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

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

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

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

Okay, well, thats, that's nice.

So, dinner?

Dinner.

[Tsola] Okay, great.

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

Er, okay.

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

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

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

I dont have your number.

You don't?

Okay. Ill text you.

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

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

[narrator] Weve all been there.

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

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

are quickly disrupted

by certain triggers.

Triggers that can help us

justify and rationalize

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

[giggles] Okay.

[sighs] Makamba

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

-So we can scale up.
-Ah!

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

-[sighs]
-[phone rings]

Hey mami.

He asked me out!

Who? Please say, Tsola.

[giggles] Yes, Tsola.

And we are going out on a date tonight.

Really? So what are you doing?

[Zuri] Um, okay well, Im

gonna leave my office
at about five or six,

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

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

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

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

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

sought-after bachelors in Lagos.

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

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

Did he tell you where you guys are going?

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

Non-Pareil? [squeals]

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

[Tami] In fact, you know what?

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

Ma, Makamba, get my bag.

Okay.

[sighs]

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

[James] I have something to finish.

No, its urgent, come now.

Perhaps you could knock?

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

[sighs] Anyway,

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

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

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

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

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

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

Fine, thank you, Sir.

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

for the meeting we have this afternoon,

we would need some research
on the tribunal.

Okay.

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

Oh yes! Sure.

-Ill get on it right away.
-Perfect.

We need to prep, you and me. Ready?

Okay, give me a few moments.

Good.

[Adesuwa] And what will happen is that

James, a second, please.

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

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

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

But Im doing it.

Yes, after Biyi asked you to do it.

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

-Uh!
-Ah!

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

Come on!

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

Whats that about?

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

Please tell me.

You get some power and authority,

and you impose it on everyone.

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

Ah-ah.

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

You need to calm down.

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

I see. My sincere apologies.

Now we are talking, better.

[jaunty music]

[Ladun] Here we are.

[Tami] A good call Ladun.

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

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

it is here.

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

First off, you know I mostly do bespoke.

So dont worry,
Im in full agreement with you.

Guys, remember Im on a budget alright.

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

[indistinct chatter]

[laughing]

[laughing] Go back.

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

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

[squealing]

-You look so gorgeous!
-Yeah!

[women laughing]

[Zuri] Its cute but its too girlie.

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

-Its more me, though.
-Exactly.

Are you more excited about
my date or this dress?

You have to look great to today.

Have you seen the other
women in Tsolas past?

hoo!

[whispers] It's not competition.

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

[Ladun] You know this, right?

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

Sure you can, or at least I can.

[Ladun] Just ignore Tami. Look,

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

With Tsola Preware!

Its "Pre-wa-re."

Whatever!

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

Pre-wa-re.

Preware!

Yeah.

Say it.

-Pre-wa-re.
-[giggling]

So while we're here,

I like this, Im going to try it on.

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

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

Mm-hm, Yes.

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

I think this looks absolutely
gorgeous with your skin tone.

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

It's so soft.

Find her something else.
Just find her something else

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

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

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

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

I think Ive got just the thing.

This would be absolutely beautiful.

-This is nice.
-I know!

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

-Dont do that here.
-Try it on.

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

[Tami squeals] Oh my goodness.

Absolutely gorgeous.

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

-[women] Aww.
-And...

[Tami] Hes gonna die.

-Theres more.
-[squealing]

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

Now that weve decided on the dress,

you need to go the whole nine-yards.

Wait, what nine yards?

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

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

-Second, I cant--
-Hello Tracy,

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

[Tami] You remember, right?

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

[Tami] Alright see you, bye.

Call your office,

you're not going back there.

[Ladun] Now that she has that sorted out.

Shoes, bag, accessories for this date.

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

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

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

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

-Im so excited!
-I know right?

Zuri, you're going
to look so unbelievable.

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

Guys, look we went too extra.

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

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

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

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

Us?

Yes! If you don't know,

this, is our date.

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

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

You made it!

-Well, hi now!
-Hey girl.

Looking snazzy.

-What're all these?
-What?

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

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

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

maybe, three things that
I couldnt decide.

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

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

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

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

And I'm disappointed.

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

and taking control of your life.

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

And you,

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

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

trying to figure out how
to reorganize your finances,

but apparently, you're not
taking it seriously.

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

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

A little bit?

Really?

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

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

do you know what
it can do for your business?

Let me tell you, if you are not serious,

if you are not taking reorganizing
your business seriously,

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

Very busy, you know.

[Lara] What is wrong with you guys?

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

Zuri, good luck with all of this.

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

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

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

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

Sometimes its your friends,

sometimes its an event,

other times, weve set unsustainable goals

without acknowledging the
money habits that come naturally to us.

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

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

Bye.

Okay.

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

-A software engineer?
-Yes Ma'am

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Adesuwa] And then well take
it from there.

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

Um...

Its just that, Im not really
into computers.

I'm sorry?

The computer thing is,
the computer thing is

is more like er, a theory to me.

I dont really know
how to operate computers.

[door opens]

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

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

Well, after Law school was NYSC.

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

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

It also lists here that you
volunteered with an NGO.

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

-[door opens]
-And I--

How can I help you, James?

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

I was not informed.

HR was.

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

But thats my job.

Have you forgotten?

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

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

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

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

So please, get out.

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

[scoffs]

James,

please call the next person
on your way out.

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

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

[giggles]

Yeah, about um, a hundred times.

But keep it coming.

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

I wish I could.

How is your food?

Mmm!

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

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

Speaking of house and home,
hows your mothers house?

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

-Okay, thats fantastic.
-Yeah.

So she is moving into her house soon?

Yeah, pretty soon.

You know, I feel bad because
I wasnt able to pitch in.

But you know, like I told you before,

I am transforming my finances,

Im budgeting and I even sold
some of my designer bags

so I can get some extra income.

-Oh yeah?

Thats good to hear.

Let me guess,

youve been to all these places
which is why youre smiling,

'cause you dont wanna brag.

-Yes.
-[laughs]

But I have my eye set on Asia
and South America soon.

Fancy.

Wow!

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

[Tsola] Yeah.

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

-You did?
-Yeah.

Thats very nice to hear.

So when am I going to see you next?

Um, Im not sure but, you know

[tender music]

[phone rings]

Hello.

Oh no!

No, No!

Ugh.

Zuri, what happened?

Laduns father-in-law just died.

Wow!

Ah, Lara, welcome. How was work today?

Good evening Sister Lara.

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

Good, good evening Sister Lara.

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

You are still giving
me an attitude, right?

[Mom in Yoruba] Please, dont be upset.

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

-something
-No, mummy, no.

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

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

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

I didnt realize I was angry, mom.

Lara, you are angry.

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

Forgive him and forgive us too, please.

Mommy,

since I was in the university,

I've taken care of Simi and Yemi.

[Lara] Ive gotten them
anything that they wanted.

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

I even bought this fool a car.

[Lara] And what do I get for it?

Insults and ingratitude.

From this idiot here.

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

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

Please dont say that.

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

[Lara] Where's Simis father?

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

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

for his actions and you enable him.

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

but look at the odds and be realistic.

Use your brain!

[Lara] You know what, mommy,

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

So lets just drop it.

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

What's wrong with you?

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

Sister Lara, I

-Lara.
-I'm,

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

and ungrateful.

Sister Lara please.

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

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

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

Mommy sta- -mommy stop mommy stop!

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

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

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

I'm not standing up.

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

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

Okay, mommy, please stand up.

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

You, where are you going to?

Except your aunty tells you
that she has forgiven you.

Mommy, please just sit down.

No problem, I have forgiven him.

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

[in Yoruba] Thank you, my child.

Thank you, big sis.

[lively music]

[alarm blaring]

[moans]

[phone ringing]

Hey.

Hey, you.

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

I decided to sleep in this morning,

especially with the kind
of week that I had.

And after all, its the weekend.

I know. I know, I know.

Anyway, how is your friend
and her husband?

Honestly, so-so.

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

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

Hmmm. [in Yoruba] Go, please.

But, thank you for understanding.

[Zuri sighs]

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

I mean, theyll be fine.

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

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

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

You know what?
I am really happy you called.

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

Mm-hm.

Yes, I suppose so.

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

In Africa, it is superstitious
to talk of death.

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

when the breadwinner dies,
are almost a taboo.

-Good morning, everyone.
-Good morning.

Welcome, Dehinde.

Um.

Once again, please accept my condolences

on the death of the
patriarch of your family,

Your husband, Madam.

Thank you.

Chief Bodurin Ashoni was
a very special man.

Whos one of a kind.

[Dehinde clears throat]

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

Yes.

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

But I have taken the liberty
to hold it sooner,

as I believe the outcome of this will help

inform family choices going forward.

Yes.

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

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

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

on how he will like to be buried.

No Madam, he didnt.

Hmm.

Ok then, no problem.

So, lets just go ahead with the Will.

Umm, Madam.

Im very sorry to say this,

but there is no Will.

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

[woman 2] Wait! Whats this man saying?

Ah-ah.

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

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

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

and we'll make sure
that my husbands assets

are shared fairly and
equitably as tradition dictates.

[Mom] Okay?

-Uh, Madam?
-Yes?

There's more.

-More?
-Yes.

See, not only did chief not leave a Will,

-he basically died bankrupt.
-Ah-ah!

[laughs]

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

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

there must be some sort of a mistake here.

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

[Aunt] Blood of Jesus!

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

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

What, what is happening?

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

A shock? Shock!

[Mom] Please, excuse my shouting.

But, Mr. Dehinde,

quite frankly everything you are
stating is simply impossible.

And its obvious you do not
have your facts together.

[Mom] My husband was a learned man.

And he was running businesses

on multiple bases that
were all running quite well.

[Mom] Okay?

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

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

No!

I understand Madam.

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

But he would always say that

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

Lies of the devil.

Um, I have no reason,

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

You see,

Chief was a very rich man.

Yes.

And a captain of industries
for that matter.

But, some few years later,

due to strings of bad business deals,

extreme leveraging
and poor corporate governance

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

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

this mumbo jumbo youve been saying.

I mean, lets assume the
business was in trouble.

So what?

[man] I mean, businesses leverage heavily

nowadays in, in, in volatile environments

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

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

What is the problem?! What is the problem?

[man] Where is it!

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

[Dehinde] Because he was in
debt and didnt

separate his financial dealings
with the bank,

-everything is up for grabs.
-Thats bullshit!

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

Down.

[Mom] Down!

Look, what Im just trying to say is this,

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

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

Quite right, quite right!

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

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

As for the rest,

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

Ah-ah!

-What?
-What is he saying?

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

[Bode] Everybody, please just calm down.

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

[Mom] Okay, Let's calm down.

[groans]

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

Its not.

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

what do we have left?

What Im saying is, where do we stand?

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

Not even your homes might be safe.

-What?
-Whose homes?

[Dehinde] Were presently
in talks to see the possibility

of restructuring some of the bank loans.

Bode, is he--

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

Hm.

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

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

[snickers]

Chief would never do this to us.

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

Nice try, Mr. Dehinde.

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

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

It is your home that will not be safe!

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

It is your home that will not be safe!

And although, the children
have firsthand knowledge

of what can happen when there is no will,

Ladun, trust me, I understand.

they repeat the same mistakes
in their own lives

and the cycle continues.

Bode needs you now more than ever.

Okay?

Listen, I have to do some work right now,

but Im gonna call you
later to check on you.

Okay, so just

Yeah.

Everything is

Everything is going to be fine,

Alright?

Okay, I love you.

Ill call you later. Bye.

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

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

My in-laws, please, please!

[nostalgic music]

-[water running]
-[cricket chirping]

Simi, where's your brother?

Hes playing football.

Sister Lara, this jacket is
too big for me.

Well, that is because
it is an adult jacket.

You're going to grow into it.

Sister Lara, when is daddy coming home?

Um.

[sighs] Come here.

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

Is it because I broke his big tea mug?

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

Its not because you broke his tea mug.

Daddy had an accident,

and the doctors couldnt help him.

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

You're going to be an amazing doctor.

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

-Should I show you again?
-Yes.

Okay, there are 206 bones in the body.

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

[Mom] You can despise me all you want

[Mom] But, what about the children?

[Mom] Where do you want us to go?

[man] Take them wherever you
brought them from.

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

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

Lara dont do that.

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

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

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

-You see?
-Eh!

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

What are you seeing? You wicked people!

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

You have taken all of his property!

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

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

-Why are you wicked?!
-[crying]

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

You are wicked! You are wicked people!

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

[indistinct yelling]

Mummy lets go!

[indistinct yelling]

-[nostalgic music]
-[indistinct yelling]

[clears throat] Hello, mommy.

How are you?

Everything is fine. I was just um

I was just calling because I missed you.

[chuckles]

Well, I did.

Mom,

I was just thinking about

everything weve been through.

And how far weve come.

[sniffs]

I just

I wanted you to know that

nothing is ever going to shake us again.

Nothing.

All of us.

Simi, Yemi, you, me.

I've got us.

And nothing is ever gonna hurt us again.

Ive got you, mom.

And I love you so much.

[Tami] Evening, dear parents.

-Ah!
-Tamilore dear.

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

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

Fine girl.

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

How are you two?

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

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

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

Aah! Right. Ill be off soon, then.

[Mom] Off to [in Yoruba] where?

I thought you said
you were going to relax today?

[Mom] This man, whats wrong with you?

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

-Cant you rest?
-[Dad] Remi,

I'm not going to work.

Some members of er, the Yoruba tennis club

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

a former chairman for that matter.

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

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

-Its sad.
-Ah!

A very jovial and lovely man.

A brilliant member of the club.

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

[Mom in Yoruba] what can we do?

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

Quick random question.

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

[in Yoruba] Tamilore,
you have started again.

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

[in Yoruba] What rubbish are you saying?

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

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

Please, dont come and say
negative things here.

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

-[Dad] Ah!
-Hm.

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

take it easy. Tami is not wishing us evil.

[Dad] But Tami, why did you ask?

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

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

Look, dont invite trouble.

Mommy please,
Im not looking for anything.

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

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

so that he can have a befitting burial.

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

[Dad] I have worked hard,

your allowances are still there.

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

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

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

So why do you worry?

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

and also have my health checked.

Exactly, I'm also learning how to swim.

-[chuckles]
-[Mom] Yes.

Daddy, I know you guys are very healthy

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

Saying what? Just stop there! Look,

your friends father-in-law just died,

and the spirit of death
is hovering everywhere.

Please dont invite it here.

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

Ill take care of you, Tami.

[in Yoruba] Ive done all the work.

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

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

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

and what debts the family is liable for?

Goal!

Hey.

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

Soj?

Aah!

Adesuwa whats this you're doing?

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

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

personal finances.

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

When we started a family, we agreed that

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

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

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

Right?

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

Come on.

Thats not what I said.

Adesuwa, I know what this is.

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

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

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

But thats the next thing.

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

Now our financial arrangement

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

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

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

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

Soj, Soj, Soj.

"Soj, how much is this?"

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

"Oh Soj, where are you going?"

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

"Oh Soj, oh Soj" You know what?

You can actually do pretty
much whatever you like.

Since I have now become a figurehead

[In Yoruba] In my house. [Tut]

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

because I dont even understand anymore.

Soj

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

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