Ify hold on, hold on, am getting another call okay.

Okay my love.

Hey, Bola baby... Ify Baby...

How are you doing?

I'm good.

This one that you remembered me today I'll win money.

What kind of money?

Are you not the one with an American boyfriend so western union will flow steady.

Bola.

We thank God.

But am tired of receiving western union cash.

I also want to go to America and be sending western union to people back.

Ify don't worry, it will happen sooner than you know.

I just got off the phone with Ike.

I have to wait another two years before her can file for me to come over.

Two years?

Don't let an American woman snatch your husband from you over there in America.

Never.

I know my Ike and i trust him one hundred percent.

-Okay. -Yeah.

Please am hungry what do you have at home to eat.

You're always hungry!!!

You think everybody is gonna look like you, my husband, my man likes me thick.

Just like this.

Please, I came to visit you help me get something to eat.

I'm tired.

Hey beautiful.

Hey handsome.

What took you so long?

Alright handsome.

No no no no no... I have to go, I gotta go to work.

Come on tell your manager that you had to take care of your boyfriend.

No, I cannot.

Why?

I don't think she would understand she's a old woman and I don't think she had any in a long time.

-Okay? -Okay.

-Let's go. -Ok babe.

Thank you.

Ifeoma.

I've told you over and over again.

That I'll take care of you.

I'll do everything for you.

And I've told you a million times that am a married woman.

Ifeoma this thing you call marriage is not marriage.

You got married to this guy, a few weeks later he vanished to America.

Five solid years, you haven't even seen him.

Kole.

Listen.

What ever issue I have in my marriage is no business of yours.

The only reason why am here today is because you call me to talk about business.

I know it's business, but I don't mean to upset you my dear.

I just want you to realize that....

Let's just see it as it is....

It's been five solid years Ify, five solid years.

In that cold yankee weather.

Ahn Ify now...

You don't know how many oyinbo this guy will be....

You're crossing the line right now.

Just, okay look at it Ify.

Try to just understand with me.

Check deep within your heart you will know that all am just trying to tell you is the truth.

Ify.

Ify you can't leave.

What?

You know you deserve something better than this Ify.

-I'm going. -Ify you deserve...

Leave me, go!!!

Dham!

This thing you call marriage, it's not marriage.

You got married to this guy, a few weeks later he vanished to America.

Five solid years, you haven't even seen him.

It's been five solid years Ify, five solid years in that cold yankee weather.

Ahn Ify now, you don't know how many oyinbo this guy would....

You're crossing the line right now.

You're leaving?

Yeah babe I gotta go to work, I gotta fill in for my girl.

Are you coming back cause you know you're spending the weekend right.

Yes I will be back after five.

Alright cool.

I gotta go to work.

I'll be back at seven.

Babe, I lost the key to the apartment.

So you might have to pick me up from home or I can just wait for you.

You know you got to have a key to your baby's place.

Thank you baby, love you so much.

You love me so much.

I do.

I got to go baby.

Bye baby.

Stop it.

Good morning sister.

Morning.

How are you?

I'm good.

I just got off the phone with mama in Nigeria.

I just spoke to her now.

You know how your mother is...

She was just talking about different irrelevant things that is happening around.

She even tell me one about one woman is talking about her and her daughter,

and the children and they neeed prayer for, against this demon and stuff.

But you should be used to that by now.

You know mom wants to use holy ghost fire...

To kill the whole world.

But on a serious note, she's worried about you and Ify.

Why?

You're asking me why...

Ike since you've been married you haven't been together with your wife for two straight months.

How can she get pregnant and have your baby if you don't make love to her.

Ohh oh, sister please please please.

Let's not go down that road.

Okay what, do you want me to travel to Nigeria without correct papers?

But it's been almost a year that you have your papers even if you cannot file for her yet.

Go home and see her.

Okay sister I didn't come here for a lecture .

So if you want to lecture me tell me so I'll know, so I can find my way.

You can get angry if you want.

That girl is a human being, a woman with feelings.

What would you do if a man do the same thing to me?

Haba sister.

Your problem is Nikky.

You can't even think straight...

When Nikky is concerned.

You've forgotten about your wife back home.

I have not forgotten that I am married.

And I still call her, I still send money to her, I still do all the things I do...

That's beside the point Ike.

You are still young, you have entangled yourself with two good women.

Have you told Nikky you are legally married back home?

Have you?

Ike you know what goes around comes around.

You know this people here are not really okay.

I know.

I will take care of it sister.

I will.

I hope so.

Have you eaten anything?

No.

I won't mind eating eba right now.

Which soup do you have?

Ogbono egusi...

Bitter leaf soup.

Nawa oo.

This is not easy at all.

My sister.

You know that if I lie to anyone in this world, I cannot lie to both of you.

I just don't know what to do.

Ify.

Just take it easy okay.

God will see you through this.

What did you just say?

God?

Babe you better get your head examined and don't fool yourself.

Five solid years without sex and you are calling on God.

Are you out of your freaking mind?

So that's Mr Callaghan we need to step on it man any delays we are off the job.

What do you expect her to do almighty Meggie.

She needs to help herself before her equipment seals up finally.

What?

Do you expect her to enter the BRT bus to America?

Does she have to go to America to help herself?

Hello, that is where my husband is.

What point in this conversation did I mention your husband?

Meggie.

What are you implying?

I ain't implying shit.

I am stating a fact and offering a solution to your rage and hormones.

Which is?

Get yourself a man that will take care of your emotional ease.

Wait, you want me to cheat on my husband?

Who doesn't?

My mother never cheated on my father.

That does not mean that, that never crossed her mind.

Meggie you are possessed.

Say what you want Bola but I am a realest.

Do you think that Ike has not touched any woman since he's been in America.

See that, she can't even answer the question because she knows it's the bitter truth.

Look, whether the guy has been with other women or not...

It's not enough reason for her to start sleeping around.

Okay, be like that.

Holy Mary mother of Jesus.

Keep fooling yourself while all the white girls have a few date with your husband.

Stop that Meggie.

That is our friend's husband we are talking about.

And this friend...

needs some sense talked into her head.

I'm not gonna seat here and act all naive while some yankee husband takes my friend for a ride.

No way.

Ify.

Don't be blinded by love.

You need to shine your eyes and watch out for yourself.

That is exactly what am doing.

I'm watching out for myself by keeping my marriage intacted.

By staying faithful.

Thank you my friend tell her.

I appreciate your concern.

And I don't want you to think that I'll start sleeping around just to satisfy my sexual desires.

I didn't say you'd start sleeping around.

Just...

Have one other guy.

Meggie you are a mad woman.

Just when someone thinks that you are about to say something reasonable for once,

you go off in a whole other direction.

Bola please leave alone.

Is this not a serious matter.

See an America girl trying to speak pidgin.

That was how I had to show this guy another property in Lexiton avenue.

-Okay. -I'm telling you.

Again?

That guy is too much problem he's always complaining about petty petty things...

You know, what the make of the light switch, are these bulb eco-friendly.

If I was the one I would've ignored him.

Ah not fair, no no no...

That guy is in cash now, am telling you.

Other people have gone to him before you know he's just currently worrying about his spending.

Hold on, hold on.

Hey baby, how are you?

Hi honey, how are you?

I'm okay am just hustling you know...

Honey I miss you.

I miss the way we love and the way we talk...

Baby hold on, hold on I gotta take this call hold on.

Okay honey.

Yeah, hello sir.

No no, we are on our way.

Told you.

We're in Manhattan right now we'll be there soon.

Okay alright.

That's acceptable.

Was that Wifey?

You know, these women they are just...

Oh man you do have girls around you tell me about it.

Chima.

Chima I don't even know how else to thank you.

Stop saying this.

You are my sister, if I don't do it for you who else will I do it for.

All we need to do now is Thank God.

Ahh father I thank you for not allowing my enemies to laugh at me.

Father I thank you I worship you.

Ahh Chima.

Good day Uncle Chima, Mama what is going on.

My dear.

You sounded so worried on the phone is everything alright?

Just have a seat.

Have a seat my daughter.

Our God has done it again.

He's the alpha, the omega the beginning and the end.

He has answered our prayers.

Chima tell her, tell her the good news.

You know what this is?

No.

You remember sometime ago I asked you to get me your passport photograph.

Yes.

I didn't tell you why.

Uncle tell me I can't stand this suspense anymore.

You just won the America visa lottery.

Yes!

Yes.

That means you are going to America to meet your husband.

Thank you, thank you.

Ify....

Congratulations.

I got it, my sister I got it.

I know...

I don't even know what to say am so speechless.

So what did Ike say when you told him?

Ike?

I haven't even been able to reach him all day.

I don't know where he is.

So you mean he doesn't know.

Mehn, I wish I could see the look on his face when he hears this.

He will be so happy.

But, maybe you shouldn't tell him quite yet.

What do you mean?

I will win the green card and not tell my husband.

Ify be calm.

What am saying is that instead of telling him why not show him.

I'm not following you.

What am saying is that you should surprise him.

I mean, he's not expecting to see you for another two years right?

So imagine the look on his face when you knock on his door in the U.S

And he opens it to see you standing there.

Bola.

You are evil.

You want me to give my husband a heart attack.

Heart attack keh.

Omo that same night he will get you pregnant.

You guys will have so much fun.

Please.

You want to say you didn't miss it.

Uhh man...

Wait, do you know what?

Maybe you have a point.

I always do...

Ike's birthday is in two months.

So if I go to America surprise him for his birthday...

That would be the best birthday that a woman can give to a man.

My point exactly.

But you know don't go and use me start doing super story thinking.

Please what are we using to celebrate this one am very hungry.

You are a genius.

-Genius? -You're a genius.

I know, I know.

-Please... -I need to get ready.

Ifeoma.

Did you tell him?

Mama don't worry.

I don't want to tell him, I'll make my visit to America a surprise.

Look.

I need to have a word with you.

Mama please am already late for work.

I have to go.

Ify sometimes it's good to let things take it's natural course in life.

Natural meaning I have to tell Ike that am coming?

-Yes. -No.

By me coming there as a surprise will be the spice of our marriage.

He will be so happy to see me.

Ify.

-I think... -No mama please I have to go.

Please am already late.

I'll be fine.

Ike don't tell me that rubbish, I cameto this country long before you.

Don't talk to me like am retarded.

Ahh no sister it's not like that now.

It's just that I have...

You have no excuse.

You are just being wicked.

You are just being wicked, it's been almosta year that you had the U.S citizenship.

You became eligible to file for Ify long time ago.

Sister I would do it.

I just have some things I have to clear up before...

So that I can make life comfortable for her when she gets to America.

Did I hear you say comfortable?

How much more comfort do you need?

You have a good house a good job and a U.S passport.

All Ify wants is to be beside the man she loves, her husband.

Sister.

I will bring Ify here when the time is right.

I'm a grown man I should be able to handle my household the way I want.

I don't know why you are even quizzing me like a kid.

I will treat you like a kid because you are behaving like those dumb college student.

Sister I can't take this anymore.

Go on, walk away.

The truth is a bitter pill to swallow.

You have two good women in your life and you don't know what to do Ike.

You cannot eat your cake and have it.

You are legally married to Ifeoma keep it that way.

Sister.

I am old enough to take care of my responsibilities.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

I mean you showing up unannounced.

What is bad about that?

I want to give my husband the best birthday gift ever.

I just hope it doesn't end up being your worst nightmare.

Come on Meggie.

Why are you always so pessimistic.

Can't you just be happy for me?

I am happy for you Ify, but baby don't be naive.

I lived half of my life in the United States, I know that country like the back of my hand.

Hey ladies...

God you are coming to save me from this ever negative human being.

Meggie.

Don't tell me you're still making trouble.

I was just telling her that your idea to show up in the U.S unannounced is very dangerous.

How?

Don't tell me you are equally retarded.

It's your ancestors that's retarded.

I know what happens in that America okay Ify.

I'm begging you just call Ike and tell him you are on your way.

If not...

If not what?

I don't know.

I just don't wanna see my friend get her precious heart broken.

Why can't you just trust my husband I don't understand.

It's not your husband baby it's the male species.

Ify don't listen to Meggie.

She does not trust any man on this planet.

Oh I trust men.

It's the devil inside their dicks I don't trust.

Meggie I pity the man that will marry you.

I pity you that is already married.

And you Bola I pity the man in the church that is engaged to you.

He doesn't even know he is marrying a girl fresh out of the psycho world.

Look you're the one that know.

What is this?

What does it look like.

Are you pregnant?

What, you're not ready for a baby?

Nikky answer the question.

Are you pregnant?

Why are you getting so worked up what if I am?

Better not be.

Because you know we are not ready for...

We're not ready for what, we've been together for three years Ike.

I'm twenty six and we are fucking blessed if I got pregnant.

I didn't mean it like that.

Ike I don't know what you want from me.

You don't seem like you had any plans for me or this relationship.

No baby that's not true.

But what about my feelings, I have a family too that cares about me too.

I am so sorry.

I am, hey...

Nikky.

I love you.

I just want us to slow down you know...

Talk about this things before we rush into...

I'm not pregnant.

What?

I wish I was but am not.

I love you so much.

I just feel like you are so distant.

I'm not trying to entrap you.

By having a baby.

A baby, it's not that.

I don't know what I have to do to impress this one.

Look, baby you don't need to impress anybody just be yourself.

Yeah but I've been doing that for the past few years and it still hasn't worked.

He still has not owned up to me.

I really don't see why you're getting yourself all worked up about this.

As long as your man loves you and y'all cool then...

To hell with everybody else okay.

Tanya in Africa when you're dating a man,

you with his entire family I can't just ignore them.

Fuck their traditions, fuck their values, fuck their ideals.

This ain't Africa this is America and it's a free country.

Alright.

So what is Ike saying?

I know he loves me.

But he's having commitment issues.

He was tempered even at the thought of me being pregnant.

Like, for real?

That surprises me cause...

You know he's African and most Africa men want to get with you,

before they even get to know you cause they're looking for a green card.

That's the difference with Ike he's not like that.

He never even bother about the issue of marriage before he got his papers.

And at first...

I thought that was sweet that he just focused on us you know...

Not some stupid document babe.

And now...

Now am gonna do whatever it takes to make this relationship work.

Ike is a good man.

I think after planning this party is definitely gonna bring us closer.

If you say so.

I mean...

I just want you to be the happiest woman in the world.

After me of course.

You're stupid.

No I have to invite her to this party.

Come on baby, I thought you stopped talking to her a long time ago.

I know but I'll send the invite anonymously, I want her to know that am bigger...

and better than her in every way.

Hey so are you, you are a bad girl.

And that's why you love me.

Come Olu I don't want to see your wife here.

Please, please don't bring her here.

I've told you she will be there.

I can't see why I should deprive my wife an opportunity to have fun simply because

you don't want her to see you as an irresposible friend when you start pulling around with those

kokoye babes.

Ohh but this guy is just a mood spoiler, he keeps spoiling all the fun.

See me and see problem am I the one who asked you not to control your small boy.

Look come Olu, T.j has a point.

Come out and have some serious fun at home you know, leave wifey at home.

Nikky and her friends will be there.

Come on, right.

Thank you very much.

If you guys want me at that party you know I hang out with my baby boo.

Alright no problem.

Do as you like.

Come Ike please tell me, how on earth did I get stucked with this saint Olu of a guy.

And he has been an evil saint to me come on.

Hold on.

Hello.

Hey baby.

No, no am around the corner.

I'll be there in fifteen minutes.

Okay babe.

I love you too.

So that's your wife right?

Which madam, you're crazy.

-Alright later. -Thanks man.

But T.J seriously why are you encouraging this guy.

How?

You know he has a wife in Nigeria.

One day that woman is gonna come to this country.

Why don't you wait until that day comes.

Right, come on.

Until then leave my brother to have some fun.

Life is too short, stop being so uptight guy.

Look we know you are the saint.

You're the one married to your wife be the good man, be that way.

For those of us who wants to have fun and live life to the fullest, come on leave us to enjoy.

Ify are you taking all your local things to America?

What?

Please stop acting like a bush woman and reduce this luggage.

You're not gonna need seventy percent of what you're taking,

because it's going to be cold when you get there.

Besides you gonna have to pay for excess luggage you will not even use.

Meggie, you have come again.

So as the fellow parker of this luggage, I am equally a bush woman.

Thank God you said it yourself.

But seriously Ify, what you're packing is only too much your friend is right.

Most of the things you are packing you wouldn't need them.

Ify my dear.

Give this to your husband, it's food stuff okay.

Kate am looking at us reducing from this things, they are too much.

And you are bringing more.

This is not too much, she can handle this.

I'll be back.

Just hurry up let's be going.

Okay birthday boy.

And you embarked on this trip and both of you didn't think it was proper to inform me about it.

Sister I swear I didn't...

I'm as shocked as you are.

-Indeed. -I did not know.

I didn't know she was coming.

-Honestly. -It's true aunty Uju.

He didn't know.

I did not tell him because I wanted to surprise him for his birthday.

You see.

And am sure I did just that.

Yes.

It's birthday surprise.

Excuse me.

Who was that?

Just some of my friends they want me to come and party,

Don't you know my wife is in town.

Ike where are you, I need you to come back right now.

I need to get out of here, I need to go pick up that stuff.

Call me back.

Aunty am so tired.

Can I use your bathroom?

Sure darling it's the first door to the left.

Okay.

I beg you God I know you are going to give me this once away.

But I beg you with God please let us stay here for a couple of days please.

What is wrong with your own house?

Nikky is in my house right now.

You told me that Nikky does not live in your house.

Uju that's not what happen to me.

She just came for the weekend and...

Ike please shut up.

I told you this was going happen and you totally ignored me.

The evil day has come now and you want me to rescue you.

I cannot lie to her.

Please now.

Please I beg you with God's name let us just stay here couple of days.

Though I can sort some things out.

Wait a minute, what did you tell her you were coming to do in my house?

Hey Ify...

Hey Aunty.

Aunty Uju am so happy.

Ike seriously you need to call me back now, I've been waiting in this house for over an hour,

You need to call me now.

Hey Nikky.

-Hi Olu. -Hi.

-Hi. -Hi..

Wow hi.

Have you seen Ike?

Ike, no I haven't am even expecting him here.

But I've been trying his number his phone seems to be switched off though.

Yeah he's been gone for some hours and I haven't seen or heard from him.

And I really need to get in contact with him am kinda worried.

Right I don't think you should worry though maybe his battery is dead or something.

Yeah this is the perfect day for his battery to be dead,

It's the day of his birthday and it starts in a few hours.

I know, I know, I know but I mean he's a big boy.

You know what, this is what I think you should do.

I think you should go home, chill and he'll show up.

Okay, alright.

Thank you Olu.

I'll see you in a few hours.

Yeah you will.

-Thank you so much. -You will yeah.

Bye.

Bye.

Okay wait, wait one second.

What do we do?

The party is just a few hours away.

I don't know Tanya am so confused right now.

Why don't we just get every single thing that we need...

and then we'd just home that he will get here on time.

Okay, okay.

-Okay. -Look.

Nikky don't you think you're being a little bit paranoid about this, I mean Ike is a grown man

It's not like he got abducted by aliens.

Something is not right, I don't know what it is but it's just right.

Okay I mean let's go.

Hello who's this?

Hey it's me Ike.

Ike where are you, where have you been?

Nikky has been looking for you all over New york.

I need you to grab T...

I need you to grab T.J and meet me somewhere.

-What's wrong. -I'll explain to you later okay.

Grab T.J and meet me at Green bay.

Okay.

And make sure Nikky is not in the hotel.

You know this girls can be crazy.

Alright, alright you know what.

I didn't plan to stay out late so I gotta talk to my wife, I'll call T.J we'll both meet you there okay.

Yeah we'll be there in a giffy no problem.

Okay.

Okay thank you.

T.J when I told you this day will come you said I should wait till it happen.

Ain't we in that day now.

My friend shut up and let's think of a way to solve this adulterer's problem.

Oh you guys am in deep shit.

And you guys are here arguing like school children.

Are you not the reason for the arguement.

See, you have two hours before the party starts.

Two hours before the party starts.

And you know you cannot leave your wife who is just in the U.S for her first time.

This is her first time, you can't leave her and you can't take her there.

Okay so what am I going to do?

Simple solution.

You stay away from the party...

Or you ask Nikky to cancel it.

What?

She should do what?

Cancel the party.

Do you want that Akata girl to skin my friend alive for such an embarrasment.

Don't mind him.

It would be worse, it will be worse if he shows up there with his wife.

They'd be another september eleventh all over again, disaster.

But come to think of it guy umm...

Can't you just talk to your wife and umm.

Scope her and tell her that you have something to do at work that you are working late.

Then you go to the party, have some fun go back home in the morning.

You're not gonna be there forever are you?

What?

See you can't treat a woman like that especially a wife he has not seen for a very long time.

And if she know my job doesn't have a night shift who do I want to show a house at night.

See the rubbish man.

Wait.

So Nikky is still at your place?

Nikky is in my house right now.

That's why my phone is off.

If I go back now there is no how I will see Ify tonight.

Alright guys.

Warri boy to the rescue now.

Here is the plan.

Ike.

You go home to your wife.

The way Mr. Center suggested.

Go to your wife keep her busy get her pregnant if you like that's your problem.

You and I will call Nikky.

We'd just tell her that you had a problem...

With the cops, with the property you want to show your client,

and the cops called you in for some paperworks to clarify some document.

Blah, blah, blah cook up some story and then you will not be there.

Tonight we will go to the party.

We'll see Nikky, talk to her, try to make her believe that you are coming,

to the party to join us much later when you're done with the cops.

But of course we know you are not showing up.

Half way through the party, we'll leave, we'll bail out we'll tell her we are coming to the prison to

see you and to get you from the cops that way...

we'd jack some money put her on the he's coming level.

We take off.

When day break you see the girl explain to her and say whatever happened

Somebody came to my house and blew, give her whatever excuse you like.

But at the end of the day...

Party has happened and you didn't go you will be at home with your wife.

Case closed come on.

You this Warri boy.

It's scam that full your head.

But you're supposed to know that Warri doesn't take last.

Okay so what happens next, what happens to his wife at his sister's house.

Umm Ike.

If you choose to stay at your sister's place for the next couple of days will she throw you out?

No.

Good.

Here is the plan.

I think what we should do...

I mean come on Nikky we've been here for over three hours.

Don't you think you are taking this too far.

Look I know you're tired and you wanna go I can just wait outside in the cold.

Come on, I didn't mean it like that.

I'm just saying I don't want to be late to work and

I have to stop downtown to get something from the store before we go back to work.

I mean.

Can't we just come back tomorrow.

Well Ike didn't leave with any clothes so I know he's gonna have to come back to the house.

Okay.

Why don't we just come back later after work.

I'm not about to lose my job because of your runaway boyfriend.

And I don't think you're trying to lose your job either.

Can we just get out of here please.

Okay Tanya.

Hey y'all.

Natasha girl you are crazy.

Hey baby whatsup?

Oh no, don't hey baby me.

What happened to you promising that we was going to meet up before you come here.

I'm so sorry I had a ride and I hop in.

That is so typical.

Dorisha when are you going to be done?

Do you see that many people in here?

Oh I'm sorry.

Hey y'all did you hear Frankie and Babra finally got a divorce.

It's about time they get over that shit.

It's about time she left him.

I don't know what took it so long he's been cheating on her like he's inhaling oxygen.

It's love.

Oh please, don't nobody talk to me about love up in here.

No nigga is about to be disrespecting me and think he's still gonna be hitting that shit at night.

We don't even know who to trust anymore.

The black men.

Or the white guys.

We never know.

The white men gets pissed off.

He turns it down on you, the kids and then himself.

A black man gets pissed off he sleeps with your sister, your cousin, your neighbour, anybody.

Just to get back at you.

And I bet you that nigga is jobless and he's living with you.

Thank you, your ass well fair and shit

Not all men are like that.

The educated successful man they are more responsible than the broke ass bummy guys.

Oh please.

You are so wrong.

The educated ones are even worse.

They hide their nasty evil feelings behind those suit and college degrees.

You are so right Natasha my friend told me the story about this Nigerian man.

What happened girl?

He married a girl in Nigeria and came to America two weeks after the wedding.

And he's been here about four or five years.

So he hasn't gone back to Nigeria since then?

Not once.

So does that mean she hasn't had sex in five years.

Natasha can you please shut up so she can finish the story.

Go ahead boo.

Anyway so he's been here and he met another girl.

An American girl, I think a white girl.

-Oh no... -Yeah.

And he didn't even tell her that he was married to another woman in Nigeria.

And they've been together for about three or four years.

So trifiling.

So what happened girl?

So she won the visa lottery.

And she surprised him and came to the United States.

What?

Yeah and while she's at the airport she calls him hey baby can you come pick me up...

Oh my gosh that is so trifiling girl.

So he leave the girlfriend to go pick up his wife at the airport.

-What! -Yeah.

Oh no he didn't.

And he brings her back to this other house, he got this other house for her something like that.

Yeah and that poor girl she hasn't seen him ever since, his girlfriend.

He chaged his phone number on her she goes by his job and they say he's on leave.

When did this happen?

About two weeks ago or something.

Wait where does he work?

I think greater man height or something, I don't know.

They said he's on leave so everytime she goes there he's not there.

And the girl was quiet.

Yeah she was quiet.

-Are you sure? -Yes am sure.

Ike.

You are leaving already.

Yeah I have to go to work I have to cover for somebody.

But you told me today was your day off.

Yes it was my day off.

But somebody called and I have to cover for them I have to show them a property.

Ike.

I've been in this country for two weeks and I've been stucked in your sister's house.

And that doesn't make me comfortable.

Yeah but Ify you know that am busy now, you know I've got work to do.

But when are we going to our house?

My house.

But there is a gas leak at the house now you know that.

How long does it take to fix the gas leak?

I don't know if I knew I will tell you.

Ify you said you wanted to come to America now you see how everybody is busy.

Now we have things to do.

You think I want to stay in my sister's house?

You think I don't want to go to my own house?

Okay Ike.

I'm sorry.

It's just that...

I have a lot of work to do and...

I'll make it up to you.

But Ike.

It feels like maybe something is wrong.

Maybe you are in trouble but you don't want to tell me.

You know you can tell me, you know am your wife.

Nothing is wrong.

I'm not in trouble, I just umm...

I just have a lot of work to do.

I will make it up to you.

I promise.

Ify.

Ify are you okay?

Yes Aunty am fine.

Ify open this door.

America doesn't seem to be what you expected it to be.

It is...

It's just like.

What is it?

Ike has made me happy.

He has taken me shopping.

He meets all my needs.

He always make sure that I have cash in my pocket.

I've come to America to be with my husband.

Not the wealth.

Or laundry.

I don't know he's...

He's so so far away you know, like...

Like his mind is running in too many different direction.

My dear, that's America for you.

All we do here is work, work and work.

Then we pay bills.

Aunty Ujura.

I understand that but...

It has nothing to do with how busy he is.

I have a funny feeling that something is wrong.

Something is wrong.

-Ike. -Sister.

Yes I had to leave the house because your wife is sitting back there.

What happened?

Look am tired of covering your tracks you better show up now.

Or else...

What happened?

Your wife is beginning to suspect something.

Okay, no hold on.

Sister cool down, cool down.

Show up now, tell her everything or I'll tell her myself.

Look, don't tell her anything, look am all the way in Manhattan I will come back.

I would figure out something okay, just calm down, don't tell her anything.

That's all am telling you, you better come now.

Or else...

Okay.

Hi baby.

Babe.

You know I like that now.

I know.

Let me get this done.

Cause you know I have to get some rice before I get to work.

Baby wait, let me eat you completely.

I know, I know but...

Okay you can eat me completely after I get some tea.

-No. -Come on baby.

No, no no....

-Wait, wait. -No baby.

Nikky will you please stop getting so worked up about this.

I refuse to believe that Ike would ever cheat on me, he would never do that.

He wouldn't.

Honey you need to get a grip on yourself and stop whining about this.

Tanya he loves me, he would not do anything to hurt me.

He would not.

Baby.

I'm going downtown to the store.

I need to get some aspirin.

Are you alright?

Not really I have a headache.

Oh no, how come?

-Are you sure? -Of course.

Thank you.

I want to spend the rest of my life with him.

I love him so much.

Oh, you love him so much.

How many times do I have to tell you that you cannot give yourself a hundred percent to no man.

You can give yourself eighty percent of the time.

And then you keep the other twenty percent for yourself.

When the break up comes.

I mean come on, look at all this Nigeria scum.

It's just changing you and turning you into a shadow of yourself.

That is my boyfriend do not call him scum.

Oh, let me guess.

Prince charming.

Come on.

He ain't so charming now, is he?

Look, I love you, you are my bestfriend but...

Come on you don't deserve this shit, you can do so much better than him.

So what exactly is the problem Sharon?

I think my fiance has cheated on me.

And I wanna find out.

What exactly makes you think that he is cheating on you.

You know he comes home, he just started smelling clothes of other women.

And then when I confide him about it...

He just tells me...

That his body can take from the train when he comes home.

But it's the same smell everytime right?

Yes.

Baby that dude is making somebody contact and it's not on the train.

Dorisha that kind of contact can happen on the train.

So hang on though, how long have you guys been together?

We've been together...

about three years.

And we've been living together for two years.

And you know, we was talking about marriage and stuff like that but...

Once he moved in then...

He just stopped.

So, hold on wait a minute.

Did he moved in with you?

Yes.

I make more money than he does so...

He stays out late and he only has one job, so he really has no reason to stay out late.

Oh God.

I think that he is having an affair.

And he's been aggressive lately.

Sharon.

Are you still in love with him?

With all my heart.

And I bet you still love him and you know, you still think of him as the love of your life.

And you want to spend the rest of your life with him.

Yes.

But you are afraid that you may not be the girl of his dreams anymore.

Yes.

Sharon what would you do if you found out he was cheating on you.

I don't know what I'd do.

Listen Sharon you know we're are gonna call Hosea.

But you really gonna have to brace yorself for the worse cause this does not sound good at all.

Okay.

Alright so you guys what we have here is Sharon is in love with her fiance Hosea.

Who she thinks is cheating on her with another woman,

and think she's no longer the number one woman of his life.

So what do you think?

He is coming home with a strange smelling cloth every night...

He is out all day, he's getting aggressive.

Clearly Joanne this is a case of a cheating boyfriend.

You know, and I really feel sorry for Sharon, you know the fact that they've been together so long.

And he lives at her house.

Yeah he may not necessarily be cheating on her.

Remember she makes a lot more money than he does I guess intimidation,

could be one reason the guy might act that way.

Alright so we're gonna place this call to Hosea right now...

And we are going to find out if she is still infact the love of his life.

-Hello. -Helllo.

Is the Hosea Aleandro?

Who is this?

I'm calling for a pink lady roses.

We're running a promotion right now and you emerged as a winner.

I didn't enter competition.

Oh, no you didn't have to we just used the database of your phone company.

But anyway you just won twelve roses that you can send to the lady of your dreams.

The person that is the love of your life.

How much is this gonna cost me?

Oh, no it doesn't cost you anything you won this, it's a promotion.

You're telling me I could send roses to my girlfriend for free?

Exactly that's what am telling you.

There has to be a catch I don't believe this.

Oh well we're a new company so we'd like you to spread the word about our company.

As soon as she gets the roses.

Really?

Really...

So, umm before we get the name of the special lady you wanna send the roses to.

What would you like us to put on the card that would be attached to it.

You can tell her that I love her.

That I really appreciate her.

That I promise to be a better man, whoa wait...

Do you have enough room to say all of this?

Oh, yes sure we do.

Okay.

Tell her also that I will never love anyone else.

Awwn that's so sweet.

So umm...

What is the name of this lucky girl?

Her name is Sharon Baker.

I told you!

I told you there were still good men out there.

Whatever just cause he got her some flower don't mean that he ain't cheating on her.

You are just a man hater, hater...

Well, umm Hosea we have another surprise for you.

Really?

What is it?

Your girlfriend Sharon, she's on the line listening with us.

Hosea I love you too.

Sharon.

-Yes. -Sharon...

Baby am so sorry if I made you feel like I was cheating.

I just got laid off from work and...

I can't bring myself to tell you.

I'm so sorry, I love you baby.

Why?

You know you can tell me anything baby.

Yeah babe.

Yeah there's no aspirin at this store so am gonna check the store around the corner okay.

Oh okay.

Okay, love you too.

Hello, hey girl whatsup?

I'm fine.

Guess who am looking at right now.

Nikky's guy.

What!!!

From the way it looks it seems he actually lives around this neighborhood.

Wait, hold up.

Shut up!!!

Are you kidding me?

Alright hold on a second am at Nikky's house am about to put her on speaker hold on.

Okay, okay.

Listen to this shit.

I'm looking at Nikky's guy right now.

From the way it looks it seems like he lives around this neighbourhood.

Follow him and get his address.

Okay sure girl you don't have to say it no more.

I'm going to follow him right now, okay bye.

What did I say.

I think I have to do something.

Oh...

Didn't I tell you.

Didn't I tell you, it better be him you call him right now.

Forget that, let's blast up on his ass.

See, I told you.

Some of the signs that maybe a guy is cheating may be something else entirely.

In this case intimidation and permit me to use the word shame.

You know what Brandon you are actually right.

You know, I totally agree with you on this one you're right.

So it seems like Sharon and Hosea are gonna have a happy life after all.

So hold on you guys we have another caller from Queen's this is Nikky.

Hey girl, how are you doing?

Honestly Joanne.

I am not fine.

What's going on honey?

My man has been acting really funny lately.

He left the house and he hasn't been back for a while.

When you say for a while how long are we talking about here.

About two weeks.

Go on honey.

He got a new phone number and he didn't give it to me.

I had to get it from a friend.

And he moved, and never gave me his new address.

We heard on the street that he is with someone else.

Which I find hard to believe because...

We've been together for so long and we love each other.

We are in love.

Oh Nikky honey, I don't know how am gonna say this to you but,

obviously this dude has dumped you and move on.

Okay, okay let's just...

Not jump to conclusion alright.

Everybody thought Hosea was cheating, Hosea wasn't cheating

Let's give this guy the benefit of a doubt too, he could be umm...

Having some sort of emotional melt down that happens.

Emotional melt down my foot.

Like who just hops and shatter the relationship like that for two weeks and doesn't talk to their girl.

It just doesn't make sense to me am sorry.

Yeah I really have to agree with Dorisha on this one, I mean this guy just...

Cut her out of his life and I don't think this is gonna end very well.

Joanne am...

My nerves,

are a rack.

I just need to know what is going on, I need you to call so I can know for sure where I stand.

Okay, well Nikky just wants cut to the chase I like that.

Joanne call this dude.

Yes, so Nikky just give me his name and his number.

Okay.

Hello who's this?

My name is Cathrine am calling from pink lady roses.

And am calling you to let you know that you're the winner of a promo.

What promo?

Oh well we just made a random selection using your mobile network provider and...

You came out as the winner.

Hold on, am sorry you lost.

Well it just means that you've won twelve roses and you can send this to the lady of your life.

Okay, so let me get this straight.

Out of all the people in the city, you chose me.

This is gotta be a scam.

No sure this is absolutely no scam, it's for free and the service will not cost you one dime.

So it's free?

Yes.

Okay.

So you know, what's this all about because I know there is nothing in America that's for free.

Well...

Of course you'd have to spread the word about our company and

act as sort of our spoke person.

You'd actually make a lot of money off this.

Okay.

Cool.

So how does this work?

Well you can just give us a message that we can write on the card that

goes attached with the roses.

This person is just not my girlfriend.

She has brought so much sun shine to my life and...

I love her very much.

Awwn that's so sweet.

So who's the lady.

Her name is Nikky.

Oh she must be the luckiest girl alive.

I told you, I told you he wasn't cheating.

So actually we have another surprise.

Hold on a minute.

Can I send this roses to another person?

I don't understand.

But you said they are twelve roses right.

Yes.

Okay so I'd like to send six to Nikky and the other to someone else.

They're your roses so you can send them to who ever you like.

We just deliver.

Oh, this one is to the love of my life.

The person that I love more than anyone else on the planet.

And who is this lady?

It's my wife Ify.

You bastard, you are married!!!

Nikky.

Don't say my name.

You will not say my name you screw.

What is this?

You bitch!!!

Fuck you, I knew it.

I knew it.

How come you are married and you never told me.

What's that, what the hell is going on.

Well Mr Macho you have been found out life on the air.

This is my radio show guns and roses and you have just been busted.

Your girlfriend Nikky has been listening all along and so of all the listeners at home.

I will sue you motherfuckers you put me on the line without my consent.

You know what Ik we don't even wanna hear this right now.

Don't even call us causing up a storm because you're the one who got a girlfriend and a wife.

You're the one trying to send roses to the whole damn world, are you kidding me.

I'm gonna sue you bastards.

Right cause you are the first one who is trying to sue us.

It's not gonna work I just tell you that right now.

Well you could sue us all you want but this show has been around for a long time.

We've busted a lot of guys so I think you've just gone unlucky today.

Well if I told you then I'll ruin the surprise.

So come, come come come...

-Okay. -Okay.

Though it's such a bright sound.

-Hey Ify. -Hi sister.

Hello.

How are you doing?

How are you guys?

Fine.

So Ike where is the surprise?

You are the one that is trying to steal my bestfriend man.

Look at all the blame she was throwing at me.

-Ify... -Do you find her more beautiful?

Is she better in bed?

I'm sorry.

I know everything Ike.

I know all about that Nikky.

You have been with her for three years.

And you still have the nerves to call me everyday and tell me that you love me.

Did you tell me that after kissing her?

Or after fucking her?

I love you so much Ike.

But you take my kindness for stupidity.

And show all the signs.

But I chose to ignore it.

After all of this I still love you.

Because you are my husband.

And it is my duty to love you Ike.

Have your child.

To be faithful.

Faithful Ike.

You left me for five years.

Five years.

In Nigeria with all those wolves but I stayed faithful.

Every night I was yearning for my husband's touch.

And hoping he would do the same but no, no.

You were defying your bed.

Our bed.

With the smell of another woman's perfume.

You know what...

Don't look for me.

You will search all over the world but you will never find me.

-Never. -Ify.

I would be gone.

Hey baby.

You okay?
