[Makanaki] Odogwu Malay!

[Makanaki chuckles]

[in Pidgin] It's
been awhile, brother.

[in English] Impossible!

Doubting Thomas.

Maka.

[in Pidgin] You doubt me?

Mm?

You wanna see what you did?

Look at it.

Go on, touch it.

Touch it!

Touch it.

[laughing]

[moves pieces on board]

Your turn.

You don't wanna play?

- Onye-Nche! Mgbada!
- [Makanaki laughs]

Mgbada!

[gasps]

[gangster 1 laughs]

[exclaims]

[in Igbo] It's just a
dream. I'm dreaming.

[in Pidgin] Maka, I killed
you. I shot you myself!

[in Yoruba] A million flies can't
withstand the swipe of a broom.

- [gangster 2] Yes!
- The broom is the master of the housefly.

[gangster 1] Ha!

[Makanaki] Mm.

[in Pidgin] I have a
secret to tell you.

You and your family

will die tonight.

Don't come here trying
to get in my head!

We're both men.

You ever seen two thieves
loyal to each other?

I'm not scared of you.

[in Igbo] I've seen ghosts before, why
would I be scared? I'm Odogwu Malay!

- [in Pidgin] I'm not scared of anyone!
- Wanna test me?

My mother gave birth to me
and then cowered in fear.

[in Yoruba] I was a
plague from birth!

- [in Pidgin] No fear.
- Test me!

[Odogwu in Igbo] The worst that
could happen is you kill me tonight,

and I never suck
another woman's breast.

- Wanna test me?
- [Mgbada] Makanaki!

[dramatic music playing]

[thunder cracks]

[exclaims]

[yelling]

Kelechi! [Screams]

Hey! Kelechi!

Hey, Obieze!

Obieze!

Amaka!

Kelechi! Obieze! Amaka!

Amaka! Kelechi!

Obieze!

[exclaims in Igbo] My God!

[thunder cracks]

[Odogwu screams]

[sobbing]

[yells]

[screaming]

[yells]

[in English] Makanaki! God
must punish you, Makanaki!

[in Pidgin] Is that all you got?

[blow lands]

[thunder rumbles]

[thud]

[in Yoruba] Chop up the body
and burn it before sunrise.

[in English] I don't want
any surprises in five years.

[Ade] That's why they call
her Oba or the King of Boys.

Wow.

[sighs] I can't believe
what I'm hearing.

And you've worked
for her for how long?

[clears throat]

My father was her driver,
so I grew up in the house.

He died when I was 15…

So Alhaja Salami took me on

and I've been learning
the business since then.

So everything that
you've told me today,

this is based on firsthand
knowledge, not hearsay?

Sir!

I know where all the
bodies are buried.

Literally.

And these documents?

Legal documents from her
previous investigation.

These were the ones I
could lay my hands on,

without raising suspicion.

Seun!

Yes, madam.

Um, escort Mr. Ade out and
make sure he gets home safely.

- Okay, Ma.
- Thank you again.

Ade.

Your truth has played a great
service to the people of Lagos State.

And

[softly] I'll be sure
to mention to Aare

how cooperative you've
been here today.

Why?

Sir?

Why?

I don't quite get it.

Why are you here?

Why are you sharing information

about a woman that you've devoted
most of your life to with us?

I don't understand.

I understand now

that loyalty means
nothing to Eniola Salami.

I've taken bullets
for that woman,

but if it benefits her tomorrow,

she will not hesitate to
dig a pit and put me in it.

[clears throat] This is…

This is fantastic.

[glasses clink]

- Yes, it is.
- [drink pours]

I think the best time to
publish would be on the 24th.

Of this month?

Isn't that the day
before the elections?

Why, yes.

Look,

I've been chasing this
story for a very long time.

Finally, the pieces
are coming together.

Madam First Lady,
this is a real story.

The president,

Alhaja Salami,

NCCC's Gobir's
possible involvement.

It almost feels too
good to be true.

But I don't feel comfortable
going about it this way.

What way?

- You know what I mean, Madam First Lady.
- Jumoke, please.

And honestly,

I do not.

And if it's compensation,

rest assured my husband...

No. I don't need any
compensation to speak the truth.

So what's the problem?

I just don't like feeling used.

[Jumoke] Used? By whom?

By you and your husband.

It's just that, I just want
this story to reveal the truth.

So I ask again,
what is the problem?

This.

The clandestine calls,

the meetings.

I know it was you feeding me
information via the anonymous packages.

I don't want to be used

as an advantage for you and your
husband to win this election.

An election I'm not even sure your
husband is the right candidate for.

After all you've heard

and believed today,

do you honestly think that Alhaja Salami
is a better candidate to be governor?

Of course not.

There you go.

It really is that simple.

It really doesn't matter what
our individual motivations are,

as long as the common
goals are realized.

Now, if you do not have any other
battle of conscience to work through,

could you help
zip up this dress?

I have to play arm candy to
my husband in 30 minutes.

Unless, you have a
problem with this too.

I wouldn't want you to feel

used.

[nurse] Okay.

- Are you sure that feels better?
- Mm.

The doctor will be here in 20 minutes
to talk you through your results.

- If you need anything, press the buzzer.
- All right.

- Okay. Thank you, sir.
- Mm.

- [in Yoruba] Look, Segun.
- [door closes]

- [in English] Have you sorted everything?
- [chuckles]

- Very much so, sir.
- Mm-hm.

The owner of this hospital

is a well-respected doctor and
he's a personal friend of mine.

- Mm.
- He signed the medical report himself.

- So it will never be questioned.
- That is good.

As far as anyone outside
the three of us knows,

you have a serious heart condition
that needs careful monitoring.

Oh! That is good.

The judge also approved your transfer
for an indefinite period of time.

So, if you like, you can finish
the rest of your term here.

- Which judge is that?
- Shonubi, sir.

- My friend Shonubi?
- Yes, sir.

[laughs] That is good.
That is very good.

Remind me so that I call
him tomorrow and thank him.

That is fine, sir.

That's good.

Uh, sir, um…

- There's one other thing.
- [in Yoruba] What?

[in English] We can no longer arrange
your regular weekend home visit from here.

[in Yoruba] What happened?

[in English] There are too
many eyes here that can report.

Hmm.

I see.

I understand, but my family
can still come and visit me.

Definitely, sir. And they can
stay as long as they want.

- [exclaims]
- Your wife and children are on their way.

- [in Yoruba] Really?
- [in English] Yes, sir.

- That is very good!
- You have nothing to worry about, sir.

I have everything and
everyone taken care of.

Good.

Your personal guards are
stationed all over this hospital.

Without permission, not even an
ant can gain access to you here.

[laughs]

- That is very good, Segun.
- Sir.

- Sir?
- Well done.

- Thank you, sir.
- Well done.

Thank you, sir.

[sighs]

- This is what we're talking about.
- Just relax, sir.

- Ah…
- Calm down, sir.

[Ifeanyi] Alhaja Salami.

I understand that recent events
have made you somewhat paranoid.

But, please,

I can assure you that
you are safe here.

This is the house of God.

Please,

tell your men to
wait for you outside.

They're going nowhere.

Okay.

If it makes you feel safer,

that's all right.

I gathered the elders,

so that we can join

blessed hands to pray

I did not come here
for prayer, Reverend.

I'm here for your endorsement.

[sighs] It's a shame that we have to
still be talking about this matter.

To be honest with you,

I'm getting quite irritated by
your insistence on this matter.

Alhaja Salami,

you dumbfound me once again
with your generosity...

Open it!

Uh, elders, please,

give me a moment with, um,

Alhaja Salami.

I said give me a
moment, damn it!

Alhaja Salami…

Why are you doing this?

[in Yoruba] "Every day
is for the thief…".

"But one day will
be for the owner."

[in English] My team

and press people

will be here tomorrow.

Don't worry, they will
not disturb the service.

But at a more appropriate time,

you will call upon
me to the pulpit.

You will not politicize
my church, Alhaja Salami.

I won't let you.

I can understand.

You need more time to think of

how to introduce me tomorrow.

- You need more time.
- Alhaja.

What do you want to
do with this document?

Hm?

It…

You will ruin the church
if this comes out.

[in Yoruba] Stop!
What's wrong with you?

What are you talking about?

[in English] Ruin
the church? No!

You ruined the church!

Is my name on the document?

Did I enjoy the money with you?

Or am I the one with a
secret girlfriend and child?

Give me your ears, and
listen and listen good.

[in Yoruba] Just do as I say!

So your congregation keeps
seeing you as a good shepherd.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[in English] May the Lord
have mercy on your soul.

And you too.

[laughs maliciously]

Just look at you.

Because you wear a cloak

does not mean that both of us
will answer to God differently.

I will deal with heaven

at a more appropriate time.

[laughs maniacally]

But now,

right now,

there is hell for
some people here.

[bells tolling]

[Ifeanyi] Behold!

The next governor

of Lagos State,

ordained by God Himself...

Breaking news!

In a surprising turn of events,

and with the elections
just five days away,

Reverend Ifeanyi has uncharacteristically
decided to throw his weight behind,

and endorse, a candidate

for the upcoming Lagos State
gubernatorial election.

Yes, Sade, and what a play!

This story is nothing short
of a grass to grace epic.

Alhaja Eniola Salami
needs to teach a class

on how to go from being
an underdog in the race,

to being the number one name
and choice on the ticket.

[Ifeanyi] Your chosen one,

the one that you have
decided to sacrifice...

[man] Odogwu Malay was executed like a dog
alongside his family in broad daylight.

Who is next?

Elder, I understand
that Odogwu Malay

was nothing but an
emotional sacrificial lamb.

She can have him,

but she must keep to the deal.

Eniola Salami!

[cheering]

But unless something unforeseen
jumps in to derail this speed train,

I think it's safe to call this one
in favor of Alhaja Eniola Salami.

[screams]

[woman] What was that?

Well, you see, he was like a dog

with a bone with that story.

He seemed obsessed with
taking Alhaja Salami down

until I started to ask him

about the validity
of his sources.

And then, he came back to me

with an offer

on behalf of his principal, the
governor's wife, Mrs. Jumoke Randle.

- He insinuated that…
- Seun!

…If I backed the re-election
bid of the governor

by writing biased stories

against all the
other candidates,

I would be rewarded.

Primarily, Alhaja Salami,

and most recently,

our president,

President Mumusa.

[gasps, murmuring]

And the governor, sir, what
was his role in all of this?

[Seun] Well

I've not had any interaction with
the governor himself on this matter.

But it would be
hard for him to say

he wasn't aware of what
his wife was up to.

I mean, it was like we were minting
money every day in the state house…

[Mr. Mogaji laughs]

…to bribe one
person or the other.

And what exactly was your role
in this conspiracy, Mr. Shogunle?

It's there in the
article in detail.

Her Excellency ordered me to…

To pay political thugs to intimidate
and disrupt the electoral process.

[audience exclaims]

We also paid them to

give false statements
for Mr. Banjo's articles…

Accusing Alhaja Salami

of being…

[chuckles]

No, go on. Go!

[sighs] Of being

an organized crime boss.

[audience exclaims]

[shocked chatter]

[Mr. Mogaji] Oh, yes.

And like he said, um,

you can get all those details

in today's Conscience Newspaper.

You see, what Mr. Shogunle
has done here today

is nothing short of courageous.

We, the people,

must not be afraid to hold
our leaders accountable

for the office that they hold.

Mr. Banjo

and his accomplice, the
first lady of this state,

had a plan to create
a media conspiracy,

to sabotage Alhaja Eniola Salami

and our own president,
President Mumusa, at the polls.

Mr. Mogaji! What about the bomb blast
that happened at your Lagos bureau?

It was reported that the package was
sent specifically for Mr. Dapo Banjo.

One could guess this
act was an attack

because the stories were hitting
too close to someone's home.

That was the intention.

Huh?

Look, we did not want
to mention it here today

because the police are currently
investigating and following a lead

that the bomb blast
in our office itself

might have been orchestrated

by Mr. Dapo Banjo.

[audience gasp]

- [Mr. Mogaji] Huh?
- Why?

[Mr. Mogaji] Why?

[laughs]

Because he wanted publicity

and sympathy from the public.

I find it difficult
to understand

why a young person

with a promising
career ahead of him

would compromise

his personal ethics and
that of his profession

simply for…

Oh, dear…

Simply for his lover.

Lover, sir?

- Who are you talking about?
- [Mr. Mogaji scoffs]

The first lady of Lagos State.

- [gasps]
- [reporter] Oh, my God.

The governor's wife?

Mr. Mogaji, that's a
very bold statement.

True.

True, but pictures

also make bolder statements.

Please,

turn the kids away from the television
set now if they are watching.

[gasps]

[Mr. Mogaji] It saddens me

to expose the mother of
our great state like this.

We have handed over all
our findings to the police

and they have promised to investigate
all the blackmail accusations

and the election-tampering
allegations

against Mr. Dapo Banjo

and the first lady
of this state.

I do have to add quickly here

that I feel
personally responsible

for the reprehensible behavior
of my former employee,

Mr. Dapo Banjo.

His father was my friend.

A respected journalist,

a trusted associate.

He deserved better than this.

He does.

- I'd like to add one thing, sir.
- Please.

Please,

if anything ever happens to me

or my family,

please, know that
it is at the hand…

Of the first lady

of Lagos State.

[clamoring]

[clamoring on TV]

[clamoring fades]

[melancholic music playing]

You stupid, stupid woman!

Please, darling,
I can explain...

Everything has gone to dust!

Everything my family worked for!

You ruined everything!

I ruined everything?

You weak imbecile,
I ruined everything?

You think you would have achieved
even half of what you have today

without me by your side?

I am the one who has carried you over
the threshold, you lily-livered idiot!

The only thing…

The only thing you have
successfully carried

from your family
is your last name.

Jumoke...

You strut around giving
your "I Have a Dream" speech

and throwing your
last name around.

My dear, this game is not won with
a fine face and a baritone voice.

Even your father knew this.

But why would I expect
you to know this?

Because you're not even worthy
of standing with his shadow.

[Jumoke yells]

Oh!

Go ahead, I dare you!

Then I would know I
truly married a Randle.

Tunde...

All right, talk
to you later, bye.

[Dapo] Habib.

Ah, Dapo.

Why?

Help me understand why a man that I
call my father would ruin my life,

my career, on
national television.

For fuck's sakes!

Dapo…

[Dapo tuts]

[Mr. Mogaji sighs]

I'm… I'm not as
strong-willed as you are.

I'm not as young and courageous.

They came after me

and I had to bend
to their will or…

[sighs] Look,

I found an easier road, Dapo,

where I won't have to worry
about the safety of my family.

And, plus,

the offer…

That could save my paper.

Yeah. Yes, I took it.

What you are

is a traitor.

- [in Yoruba] Me?
- Yes, you!

[in English] A traitor and not
just to me, but to your country!

- My country?
- Your country!

[chuckles]

My country?

Dapo…

How has my country
been loyal to me?

I shaded within the
lines all my life, Dapo.

What do I have to show for
it? What did your father...

Don't you dare speak
about my father!

Do not preach to me!

Do not preach to me!

You're not any better.

Huh?

Dapo.

You crossed the line,
no matter how thin.

You bent the rules.

Whether you bend the rules by one or
by ten, you still crossed the line.

You're only upset because
you overplayed your hand!

Uh-uh…

- Maybe not.
- Oh!

- What? Were you recording me?
- Yes, I was!

[scoffs]

I've not said anything
incriminating.

Hm?

Why don't we leave that
to the police to decide?

Oh, gosh!

Don't you still get it?

You don't have any
friends in there.

You don't!

The cards are stacked against
you by a greater power.

You poke any further, you'll
be putting your family at risk.

You lost this time.

Just fall on your sword.

Hm?

Where's the governor?

He already left, Ma.

Wait, those are my clothes,
where are you taking them?

To pack, Ma.

Pack?

I never asked you
to pack anything.

- I'm just following instructions.
- Instructions from whom?

[Jumoke] What's going on here?

How dare you?

How dare you touch my belongings
without my permission?

I gave them permission.

You?

I warned you what would
happen if you crossed me.

Everything I have done,

I did for this
campaign, for your son!

[chuckles] My dear girl,

don't you think I know that?

I'm not upset

that you were caught with
your hands in the cookie jar.

After all, I've known of your
other boy toys for a long time.

I'm just amazed that someone

as experienced in the
art of the clandestine

would be so stupid

as to be played.

I told you,

if you did anything to
jeopardize my son's chances,

I wouldn't hesitate
to cut you off.

You can't do this.

My dear, I already have.

We need a scapegoat,

and you are it.

[chuckles]

Don't worry, I won't send you back
to the streets my son found you from.

I've gotten you

a respectable
two-bedroom in Ajah.

I'll allow a decent deposit
in your account every month.

The children will stay
here with Tunde, of course,

and you'll get supervised
visits every week for an hour.

We shall then talk about
reviewing the terms,

depending on how
well you behave.

And for God's sake, my dear,
when the divorce papers arrive,

please,

don't make a mess
by dragging matters.

I won't hesitate to bury you.

I won't do this.

I won't.

I have given my entire life

for this family.

You can't just throw me out.

Oh, you will.

And in return,

I may just help

sort out the mess you've gotten
yourself into with the police

and that rogue
reporter of yours.

I won't be doing it for you,

but for my son and
my grandchildren.

It's all a shame really.

Despite our differences,

I admired your ambition.

I had high hopes for you.

I guess one can't teach a street
dog the art of poli-tricks.

Good afternoon, great
people of Lagos State.

First of all, let me say that
it has truly been an honor

representing you as your governor
for the last three and a half years.

And no matter what happens
at the polls today,

I want you to know that this
role that I've undertaken,

I have taken with the
utmost sincerity and pride.

One that I will continue to execute
until my very last day in this office,

whenever that may be.

As you all may already know,

there has been some unfortunate
information in the news

involving my family.

But I want you to know right
here, right now, categorically,

that neither I

nor my immediate campaign had anything
to do with these heinous allegations.

And that is why, at this time,

I must distance myself from my wife,
Jumoke Randle's alleged activities.

I have given strict instructions

to suspend all of
her official duties

until these allegations
have been cleared up.

We are working directly
with the police as we speak

to ensure that if any of these
allegations ring true, even one,

I will personally see to it

that those involved will feel
the full extent of the law.

You have my word.

Thank you.

And God bless the great
people of Lagos State.

Hello?

Dapo?

Just tell me you're okay.

The police have been going in and out
of the house all day looking for you.

What did you tell them?

No matter how much they shake this house,
you're not going to drop out of it.

[sighs] I'm guessing

they got the message and they're
definitely not coming back.

Aisha.

How did I get myself
into this mess?

This was not supposed to happen.

Tell me, how can I help?

You can't.

How's my boy?

He's fine.

He misses you so much.

[sobs]

I miss him more.

But just do me a favor, okay?

Just…

Keep him away from the TV.

I don't want him hearing the lies
these vultures tell about his father.

- Please.
- Okay, I will.

But Dapo, where are you?

[sighs]

Babe, look, I'm so sorry for all the
horrible things I said the last time.

I didn't mean them.

I love you so much.

Please come back home.

You belong with us, please.

[sighs] Aisha…

You have no idea

how long I've waited
to hear you say that.

But it's too late now.

No, it's not.

Dapo, please tell me where you are and
I promise I'll come pick you myself.

You can't.

Babe, you can't. I.

I need to find a way to clear my
name. I need to go underground.

Just tell my boy I love him.

- Just tell him I'll always love him, okay?
- Okay, but.

- Aisha, I'll call you later. I love you.
- Dapo.

Bye.

Is this one signed?
Okay, that's fine.

Sir, Kosofe just came in.

Nice! Nice.

- Just make sure it tallies with KAVTV.
- Okay, sir.

[sighs contentedly]

[Ade] Fashina.

Huh? Ah!

Is Alhaja Salami on
her way to the office?

With the way things are going,

it looks like we might know who
the winner is as early as tonight.

We won't be coming anymore.

What? Why not?

We have business to attend to.

[laughs]

Business?

What business could be more
important than this moment?

[radio chatter]

[Odudubariba] No. The job is
not done until I see his head.

So I can mail the
tongue to his wife.

[laughs]

Good evening, you may sit down.

Samuel…

You know I don't sit on chairs
that do not belong to me.

It is an abomination.

[elder 1] Salami!

If you insist on
insulting our king

by calling him that name

[exclaims]
- [Odudubariba] It's okay.

Sit down, Elder, sit down.

[clears throat]

Well, if you prefer to stand,

allow me to admire your dress.

[Odudubariba chuckles]

In case you're not aware,

Samuel,

I'm still the Oba of this table.

- Your Oba.
- Woman!

You are nothing at this table!

- [guns cock]
- One thing you will not do, Samuel,

is to raise your voice at me.

[laughing]

Look, as you can see,

my boys do not take it lightly.

Is that so?

Look around you, are you sure?

[Odudubariba] Hm!

[Eniola exclaims]

What are you doing?

[exclaims] You are
doing this thing again,

where it looks like
you're pointing at me?

I am pointing the gun at you!

Oba.

[exclaims]

[in Yoruba] No way.

[exclaims] The skin
that covers the stomach

hides the rot in one's insides.

[pleads] Ade.

Ade Tiger!

So it was you.

[in English] You're the traitor.

Not Boxer.

[Odudubariba chuckles]

[sighs] You see, the
problem with you, woman,

you think you're the only one
who's got ambition, right?

You embrace success

and ignore all your people.

All we had to do was just
dangle a seat at the table,

introducing him to real power.

Why?

Ade!

Not you.

Anyone, but not you.

[in Yoruba] Look at me.

[exclaims]

Or am I dreaming?

Ade, I took you as a son!

[in English] He
has seen firsthand

how you've treated those
that you've called son.

Yes!

Where is Makanaki today?

Odogwu Malay?

And even your own son,

- Kitan...
- [in Yoruba] I'll break your nose!

[in English] Elder!

As long as you want your tongue
to remain housed in your mouth,

you will never call
my son's name again!

[Eniola yells]

Ade Tiger!

This is what you
betrayed me for?

This!

[footsteps approaching]

A mere seat at the table?

If you asked,

I would have given
you a real power...

And why should I
have to ask, Oba?

Was my sacrifice for
you not good enough?

[in Yoruba] Were you
bitten by a rabid dog?

Who sharpened your teeth?

Wow.

[in English] Ade Tiger,

this thing you have done,

you will pay dearly for it.

[Aare in Yoruba] What?
Nobody's paying for anything!

[in English] Nobody
pays for anything.

[exclaiming]

Aare!

[in Yoruba] So, it's you.

[Odudubariba] Hm!

So you're the gin in
the liquor bottle!

The crooked piece of wood
disrupting the fireplace.

- [clock ticking]
- [in English] I should've guessed!

Aare!

You have taken my
children away from me.

You have taken Ade Tiger.

Now you all want
to take my crown!

[Aare in Yoruba] Your crown
is already gone, Eniola.

[in English] What I will
take tonight is your life.

[in Yoruba] I warned you.

[in English] I warned you to
execute your chance when you had it.

Is that so?

Aare.

[in Yoruba] As an elder,

[in English] and as a wise man,

you know what our people say?

[in Yoruba] They say, "One doesn't include
a pregnancy when counting one's children."

[Aare chuckles]

Fool!

[in English] Over
to you, gentlemen!

I have delivered the
goat for slaughter.

As Oyinbo man will say,
my work here is done.

I trust you can
handle it from here.

Oh, most definitely!

[in Yoruba] Hold
on! Don't go yet.

Aare,

wait and hear my
words for you tonight.

Hear this straight from me now.

Your eyes will not see
the sun set tomorrow!

Yourself, your children,
your grandchildren.

The time for niceties is over!

What you did to my children,
I will do to yours.

All your descendants shall
share in your suffering.

As I have declared,
so shall it be!

[Aare chuckles]

[in English] One thing I have always
liked about you is your stubborn spirit.

[in Yoruba] You still
have the nerve to talk?

Even now, as your ancestors
prepare Hell for you to join them,

you use your mouth to speak
to me, instead of weeping.

Get the hell off
my phone! Useless.

Who does she think she's talking
to? I'm the King of the Jungle.

[tuts]

[sighs]

Hm!

She's rather unpredictable…

[keypad beeping]

[in English] Hey!

Look, I want you to double the number
of guards around the hospital tonight.

I'm talking about tonight,
you're mentioning tomorrow.

Is something wrong
with you? Are you mad?

My friend!

[exclaiming]

[tuts]

Look, is my driver there?

Okay. Ask him to go to my house

and collect a cold bottle
of Champagne from my wife.

I feel like celebrating tonight.

[chuckles, in
Yoruba] That's right!

[laughs]

What's this one saying?

[guns cock]

I thought the deal was for
me to come over tonight

and hand over…

But this seems more
like an ambush.

[chuckles]

You know, woman,

sometimes plans do
change last minute.

Well played.

Very well played, Samuel.

You see, in my wildest dreams.

I wouldn't have
seen this coming.

But it's obvious,

the smartest one
sits on the throne.

I accept.

I accept defeat.

And as my last act

as the Oba of this table,

I insist I hand over
the crown properly.

As an elder of the table…

You know, you understand the
importance of me performing

the handover ritual,

as opposed

to a coup.

This will bring good luck

and long life

to your dispensation.

You know,

she's right, Odudubariba.

Let her hand over properly

and give you the reign.

[in Yoruba] What
harm can she do?

- We pulled out her fangs.
- True.

[in English] Okey
dokey! You may proceed.

Thank you very much.

Do you know…

How I have remained Oba…

All these years?

Look, Eniola, we did not
ask for another speech.

I learned how to read

the moves of my enemies
before they plan it.

The problem with you people

is that you keep
underestimating me.

[in Yoruba] Me, Eniola Salami.

A woman with a million warriors in her.
Invaluable, indestructible, indefatigable.

[in English] The bringer
of pain and pestilence.

[radio chatter]

[in Yoruba] I, Eniola Salami…

[exclaims]

Those who know me know
better than to take me on.

Those who take me on
clearly don't know me.

I have no duplicate!

I walk majestically,
like a king.

I come and go as I please, like a king,
without a thought to my enemies...

[in Igbo] Shut up there, woman!

Shit is bound to stink.

[in English] Woman, you better
perform this ritual with grace,

or else I'll slaughter your
motherfucking ass right here,

like the bitch you are!

[in Yoruba] There's no one
like me! I am irreplaceable!

- Tiger!
- I am the trailblazer you all follow.

And if the future
holds misfortune,

only I can warn
you to keep back.

Now you all think I'm incapable?

Wherever the oracle is asked to
avoid is where he makes his home.

The dreaded sacrificial food
offering is delicacy to the vulture.

The kidney, liver, and entrails
become delicious snacks.

How sad.

Such a shame.

The death of her children
has turned her senile.

[laughs]

I warned you before.

Tiger!

Go!

[bullets whistling]

[yells]

[shouting in Yoruba]

The skull of an elephant

is too massive for
a child to carry.

No one, but no one,
can seize my crown.

My successor will be
determined by me and only me.

Yesterday I was, today I am

and I remain the one to fear.

- [thunder cracks]
- The dreaded one.

I am Eniola Salami,

universally acknowledged
as the monarch…

[in English] King of Boys!

[thunder cracks]

[powerful music playing]

[singing and hailing in Yoruba]

[gun cocks]

[mouths] Please.

[exclaims]

Ade Tiger.

Till I die, Oba.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

You're hurt.

It's nothing for you
to worry about, Oba.

I should have known that a mongrel
always goes back to his vomit.

[chuckles]

Don't tire yourself,

my dear Samuel,
before the main event.

You wanted a transfer
ritual, right?

Definitely…

[chuckles]

You're going to witness one.

Behold!

My successor!

The one my eyes look fondly on.

The arm of my government.

The chosen one

to wear my ring.

[dramatic music playing]

[Eniola in Yoruba] My
one and only Akorede.

May you

live long.

May you eat kola
nuts with your gums.

I, Eniola Salami…

Tonight,

bestow upon you all my
power and authority.

Power over every
person, every district,

that has bowed to my name.

Here it is.

Give me your hand.

Rise, my son.

Go assume your rightful place.

No.

I can't sit while you stand.

Thank you.

If that is your wish…

[in English] We shall
both sit together.

[in Igbo] Devil!

[in English] Woman,
what have you done?

You let the devil
out of the cage.

What can I say?

You were all right.

How can I lead
the table properly

if I am distracted with
my role as governor?

Then I realized

that the answer to the problem

is at the other side
of a smaller problem.

[in Yoruba] Anyone nursing
yesterday's grudges

will never have friends and associates
around when he needs good company.

[in English] We're now
both on the same page.

[in Yoruba] You ruling from
above, and I from below.

Anyone that disrespects you,

I will double his agony.

[chuckles]

Mama! Together,
we'll crush Lagos.

[Eniola] No, let's not
look at it that way.

You know what we'll do?

We'll let them know
we now own Lagos.

[in English] You had this
planned all along, didn't you?

You sacrificed even your
own to fish us all out.

Oh, brilliant! Brilliant!

[in Yoruba] My precious son…

My Akorede!

What shall we do
with the traitor?

[chuckles]

Hmm…

When you get to hell,
tell them who sent you.

To secure the presidency
and be declared the winner,

a candidate must have the
overall majority of ballot votes

including 25% of the vote in no
less than 24 of Nigeria's 36 states.

Yes, Yusuf.

And supporters of the
incumbent president

are already celebrating and holding
vigil outside the party's headquarters

in the nation's
capital of Abuja,

as President Mumusa looks on course to
be reelected for another four-year term

after surging in such a substantial
lead in early election results.

[Chief Taiwo] Now that
we have secured the seat,

can we now take
care of our problem?

Mm-mm. No.

Not yet.

That would be a very
foolish move on our part.

There's no way to
hurt Eniola now

without it negatively
affecting us

or our party.

Let us come up with
a plan to execute,

say, in the next
couple of years.

We can hide it under
inter-party rivalry.

But for now, let's stay
low, let's play that part.

[chuckling]

Quite right, sir.

[Mumusa chuckles] Yes.

[laughing]

Yes, Clement.

Sir, Alhaji Musa just arrived
and he's pleading to see you,

but he doesn't have
an appointment, sir.

[laughing]

Silly man!

Why is he here?

He should go to the party he
used his billions to support.

[laughing]

Don't mind him,

he has seen the writing on the
wall and has come to beg, I'm sure.

[chuckles]

Let me text the minister.

He must draw up official sanctions
on all his businesses on Monday.

[laughing]

That's all right,
Clement. Bring him in.

But…

Take him to the reception.

I want him to hear our
celebrations through the walls.

- [laughing]
- Immediately, sir.

Shall we join the rest of
the celebration, gentlemen?

After you, sir, my
president. [Laughs]

[Chief Taiwo] Ah,
Your Excellency!

[chuckles] Your Excellency,

that was a smart move.

[party elders laughing]

[Mumusa] My goodness.

A final tally is expected
Tuesday or Wednesday this week,

but the major opposition party is already
calling on the electoral commission

to immediately cease compilation of
the presidential election results,

alleging that they've been marred
with violence, electoral manipulation

and other irregularities
from the incumbent party.

Madam! I was beginning
to get so worried.

My dear Mr. Fashina,

you worry like an old woman.

I…

Are you all right?

Um, many cars outside!

[sighs]

Yes, Ma, they've been
waiting for you for hours.

- Party members and others.
- Really?

Yes, Ma.

Three o'clock in the morning?

[chuckles]

Madam, it's never too early
to start currying favor

from the next governor
of Lagos State.

- [laughs]
- Oh!

That's what I am now.

[Mr. Fashina] Yes, Ma.

The next governor of
Lagos State. [Laughs]

That sounds just about
right, Madam Governor-Elect.

[chuckles]

I like that.

Mr. Fashina…

Thank you very much.

Thank you for believing in me.

Thank you, Ma, for trusting me.

[sighs]

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Good morning, Ma.
- Aggie.

So, you are still here.

[in Pidgin] Yes, Ma. I couldn't
sleep till you came home.

Ah!

You couldn't sleep
till I came home?

[in English] Yes, Ma.

That's good.

Shall we go inside?

- [chuckles]
- This way, Ma.

Madam, are you ready?

Mr. Fashina,

you don't know how long.

I have waited for this moment.

But it has come at a huge cost.

[in Yoruba] "A palm kernel
that will turn to oil

must first taste fire."

[in English] Shall we?

[guests chattering]

[man] Welcome, Your Excellency!

- Your Excellency!
- Our governor! Congratulations!

[Eniola] Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Oh!

Thank you very much. Thank you.

[congratulating]

Thank you very much.

- Thank you.
- Congratulations.

Your Excellency… [laughs]

Reverend Ifeanyi, such a
surprise to see you here.

Yes! Your Excellency.

- The minute I heard...
- Yes?

I thought it was important to come
here to felicitate with you personally.

Thank you.

- In case you have a spiritual...
- [exclaims]

Mama!

Iya Oloja!

[laughs]

[exclaims]

You are here too?

And what happened to
your winning team?

Not to worry.

You see, Mama,

our elders used to say

something.

I did not understand

until this moment.

[in Yoruba] "He who throws
a stone in the market

will hit a relative."

Isn't that so?

[chuckling]

- [in English] Your Excellency.
- Thank you.

- [clamoring]
- Thank you.

[guests hush]

- Thank you very much.
- [man] You're welcome, my governor.

I couldn't have done this
without all your help.

I am grateful for
all your support.

Thank you.

Welcome to a new dispensation.

[guests applaud]

- [knocking]
- [Aare] Yeah, come in.

Mm.

You people have forgotten
that I'm not sick.

[exclaims] We're just
pretending that I'm sick.

And you're bringing a tray of…

Of everything for me.

[guard laughs]

[in Pidgin] Are you
crazy? What did I do?

Want God to punish you?

[Aare exclaims]

[yelling]

[groaning]

Well done, sir! Enjoy, sir!
