Cold minerals, malt...

I once heard a guy

Say time only stands still

When you are in love

Your heart begins to make funny sounds

and...

Every thing begins to move in slow motion...

Well...

I wouldn't know

Because I've never been in love.

But when you're nervous...

Damn...

Everything is so fast.

200, there's no change o...

Two two hundred naira

500, 1000, I'll join... There's no change o

I'll join your balance together

Until the time to do

The very thing that makes you nervous comes

Then suddenly...

Every element in the universe crawls like a snail

That ate hot eba...

Ugochukwu James Obiora

You can do this!

Just open your mouth...

{inhales & exhales deeply} Alright

In five...four...three..

- Your money! Fine boy, pay me my money - eh

Give me my money now, are you deaf?

Seriously now...

You can do this now

In five, four, three, two...

My brethren, praaiiise da Lord...

Hallellujah

I'm not sure you heard me the first time.

I said, if you know that you want to get to your destination safe and sound

I said, if you know that you do not want accident to go before you

If you know that you do not want hire killers

To take a stronghold of you

When I say...Praise da Lord You say Halaaaluya

- My brethren... Praaaiise da Lord - Haaaalaluya

Many of you don't even have the fear of God in you

Because...

{stuttering} The the preacher is here preaching

And some of you are sleeping

Many of you are eating

And then someone is pressing handset heehh

My Bible says...

That when the king of glory shall come

Many of you can't even make eternal life

Because... why?

You are wearing chains, chains of bondage

Some of you will be in your boyfriend's house

Some of you will be wearing mami water hair

Jesus!!

Some of you will even have tattoo

Maybe next time when you go out you will speak out

Not keep quiet

Ugochukwu see... You left this house

You left all the vehicles we have in this house

Entered a bus, just for one reason

To preach. When you got there

- You couldn't talk - It's ok now

- Leave him alone - No, let me tell him so that he'll know

- what is happening, eh - ah, mtcheww, ah

He needs to know

Somebody has to tell him to his face

Anyway

Some people here would be betting at your back that you will not succeed

{hushing} shut up So you want to cause problem between me and my son abi?

Wow! Tell me, Who needs enemies with friends like you guys?

- I'm moving out. - Eh?!

Did you hear what he said?

If my son moves out of this house

You'll look for who will pay the kind of rent he's paying for that BQ

- Forget it, in this Lagos? - Mtcheww

Let him move out now.

But seriously Ugochukwu

You need to go out... often you know

How is he going to get married if he's shy to talk to people?

Oh God! How does everything have to end with a marriage talk?

- Why? Why does it have to go to marriage talk? - ah okay oh!

- You would not even let me talk - Mmm

Which means you'd not even know that I spoke to a girl today

Mmm? Tah! It's that Miriam girl That's always throwing herself at you

At any chance she gets.

Nope, it's not Miriam I spoke to a girl I met in the bus.

{Clears throat}

Hope you're happy

You're welcome

Happy now?

- Are you happy now? - Yes

At least you're here and you know here

You're gonna come, and you're not gonna be curled up in your room all by yourself

So why are you not in church? I thought The entire family went to church together

- Or something - Yea

- I had to work late, so, that's why - Oh... I see

But we can go together next time

Errm... mmm

You don't like church, do you?

More like church doesn't like me

A relationship undefined

- Can never lead to a bed undefiled - Mmm

Sister Amanda, please come

- {whispering} Pastor is calling you - Stand up na

Yes please, yes.

Well, whatever you experienced, Jesus Loves you.

{sarcastically} okay

Fornication

- For... ni... ca... tion - For... ni... ca... tion

Say no to it.

Okay, let me tell you a story.

One time, the Sadducees and the Pharisees

Brought a woman they found commiting Adultery to Jesus

Don't fornicate, don't fornicate You won't listen

Now this girl beside me is pregnant

- Ah... in the house of God - Eh... Ah

He looked up to them and said...

If anyone of you here is without sin Cast the first stone

- Guess what happened? - What?

We will pray to God for forgiveness

But forgivenss is not what you need

- You need deliverance. - Yes

That we'll deliver you unto the devil So we can save your soul

And then he looked at the woman and said

I do not condemn you, go and sin no more

- Brethren... the Lord is not happy - At all...

Neither am I

Let me tell you a story of my own

True life, not some fantasy bible adventure

About a friend of mine, she was raped

By a Deacon

Somehow gist got out

He said that she seduced the man

She was ostracized from the church.

But this Deacon, He still sits in front of church

Till this very day, during service Right there in front

So, I mean it's it's cute that this your Jesus

Saved this woman but...

Why didn't anyone try stoning the man

Or is it only women that need forgiving?

Well not...

Not all women are what they say

Some are abusive predators

Sometimes...

The people who claim to represent God Don't get it right

I'm not perfect

A perfect God died for...

Imperfect people

That must be clear

I can understand why you want to blame

Anybody for your lack of faith

But the one who saved you is

Actually blameless.

Ok, Let's let's let's try this

- Put this on - Ok

Look at you dressing me up

Well I enjoy it.

Wow! Look at that

First day of work and you look

Mmmuaa

Thank you Mum

And thank you for getting me the outfit

Well, you can never go wrong with a Karen Ubani

What's the matter dear

I don't know

I just...

It feels kind of like Ugochukwu only got me this job because he feels sorry for me

I don't even know if I can actually do it

A day drop out like... how many years ago

Then I've been wasting my years in a relationship

Sweetheart, I've already told you that

Your past doesn't matter as much as your future

Okay look at this, I just met you not long ago

And I already have the best dreams for your future

How much more God who knew you

Before you were born?

Look at me

You're great with people and you're smart

Okay, let's even look at it

What about your CEO who does nothing

But presses phone all day

I mean the receptionist work will be A breeze

Mummy you better not let your son hear you say that one o

Are you planning to tell him?

- You look so gooood... - I do look good

Alright, errmm....

Be sure to file this in the system and...

Don't forget to send out an email with the company address

Okay, Okay

You do know how to use the internet right?

I mean seeing as you're drop out and all.

Yes I do.

- First day at work, yay!! - Yay!

You're early, you didn't even wait so that we can come together

Yea I wanted to be on time

Ugochukwu, good morning

Hi Miriam

Good morning Sir

Why are siring me?

You're the CEO

She's the hired... help

What's she supposed to call you?

Miriam...

We operate a first name basis here And you know that

Don't mind Miriam o

She's just trying to be very very extra

No, No, it's okay I'll just get these filed.

Sir

That was unprofessional

Hiring her, is unprofessional

It was a good call

What are you even talking about?

You hired Clarissa, do you remember that?

Clarissa, Clarissa graduated with a first class

Your church project on the other hand

She didn't even graduate.

She is not a chu...

Listen...

Listen Miriam

I know that you and I do not agree Eye to eye on a lot of things

But I know one thing

You love this company as much as I do

So give her a chance

Things are getting bigger I need to put my house in order

And I know you want the same thing too

So just... trust me on this one

I'll try... Mmm...

I will really try.

I told you I don't do church

It's not church, it's MAP

Meet and Pray

Small groups in my church

We meet once in a while to...

To meet and Pray?

Now you're getting it

So I wanted it to be like a rehearsal

Till you're ready for church

I don't think this is a good idea.

Just stay for me now

- Oh... ah ah Ugochukwu - Yes ma

This your friend is fine o, you didn't introduce me

Sorry abou... Sorry ma. errm...

Amanda this is...

Pastor Lilian, my pastor's wife

- Amanda... beautiful name - Hi, it's so nice to meet..

Hiiii... Welcome to MAP

Meet and Pray

Thank you.

I'm sure you're having a good time

You'll come again right?

Alright it's a very very special MAP meeting

Of course you guys are all here, so that's special

Well we also have an extra special guest in the house

Someone who, I love and admire as a person as a minister

And her testimony is so inspiring

So please put your hands together As we welcome

Pastor Sumbo Adeoye

{Crowd cheering}

Thank you so much

Thank you so much for having me It's a pleasure to be here.

You know there was a time in my life when

I couldn't have thought that I of all people

Would become a pastor.

I had kids out of wedlock and so...

I felt condemned, dejected.

I was the lost sheep

And I was lost and forgotten

Then I found that one person

Who cared more about finding the lost sheep

Than judging the black sheep

Then I gave my heart to Christ

And came into the consciousness of my redemptive configuration

You know when you give your life to Christ

Old things have passed away

You need to quit seeing your life From the lens of your past

Your past is a scam

Your future is the truth

When you accept Christ into your life

It transforms you from darkness into light

That is why I can boldly testify tonight

- That I've been redeemed - Hallelujah

I have been transformed

We have Victory, and that victory over sin, shame, death and defeat

- Is total - Hallelujah

But you must believe it. You must accept it.

So that you can come into that consciousness

You see, I stand boldly to say

That God has transformed my life from darkness into light

Today, I've been refurbished and Christ has given me hope for a fresh start

And he can do the same for you too.

He loves you so much

All you need to do is just accept him into your life

And believe that you're now redeemed.

My prayer for you tonight is that God is gonna transform your life

He will give you that testimony that will make you testify like I'm doing

That you have been redeemed, you have been transformed, and now you will have...

[Oh the overwhelming, never-ending]

[Reckless love of God]

[ Oh it chases me down]

[ Fights till I'm found ]

[ Leaves the 99 ]

[ I couldn't earn it ] [ I don't deserve it ]

[Still you gave yourself away ]

[ Oh the overwhelming ]

[ Never ending reckless love of God ]

Hallelujah! Glory to God

Please put your hand together for Joy

Ama...

Amanda are you okay?

Did you tell them about me?

Tell, tell them what?

Who?

They say God doesn't like questions

It was really exhausting

Am I even performing well enough for God?

But then I began to read my Bible

And...

I found out that Jesus actually did love questions Because he's the answer

Goch I've been... I've been so lost For so long

I feel like I've been running

Like that prodigal son

And so if God wants me

I want him too

I believe

I believe

Hey...

- Hey - I got us these

What?

What is it?

It's Gbenga.

Listen, it's high time we change your number

The Police are looking for him seriously

And in no time they'll find him But we need to change this number

You know, maybe I should go back

And, and beg him. And...

I mean this is all my fault, everything that is happening is my fault

Gosh I'm so useless.

No no no, mm-hmm mm-hmm Listen

You're not. You're beautiful You're Special. Say that to yourself.

- You're beautiful - I'm beautiful

- You're special - I'm special

- You're enough - I'm enough

- You're worth it - I'm worth it

Good.

Get all of that nonsense out of your mind, okay?

- You're not going back there. - Okay...

Thanks Ugo

Okay!

You know we really do need to talk about this at some point

Because I, I really don't understand it

What is your issue with physical contact?

I mean at first, I thought it was maybe christian thing

Maybe you were trying to keep yourself pure or something

And didn't want to enter into temptation

And then I thought it was me

Thought it was because of my past

But you know every single disgusting thing That I've ever done and...

You're not one to judge so...

What is it, like...?

Ugochukwu I'm your guy, just tell me

What is it?

I'm ashamed.

My parents are very good... errm

They were always there but there was this one time

Mum had to travel for her masters

I was already a big boy then, I was in JSS3

So it didn't make sense travelling with her

But my younger sister did

It was just Dad and I

He was a fantastic Dad, errm But he was just too busy at the time

So we got a Nanny.

We got a Nanny.

She was... She was older than I am

Older than I was and...

She was more experienced in...

You know what.

She'd come to my rooom at night...

And touch me...

And do things to me and make me do things.

And she would say it's what big boys do.

I don't get it

I don't get when guys, when guys make

Make it seem like it's cool that an older woman rapes you

It's not cool, she violated me

I was 13...

And I've carried that baggage all these years.

So every time

You see a woman

You're reminded of her

Ugochukwu look at me

Look at me, look at me

It's not your fault

You were a victim

But now you are a victor

For God has not given you the spirit of fear

But of love

And of a sound mind

You can't let this continue to control Your life you can't.

Pray with me...?

Lord Jesus we thank you for your son

We bless you cause you're good

And he is made in your image

We thank you because he is here

We thank you for where he has been

We thank you for where he is now

We thank you for where he is going

Ah Ah, wetin happen? We never pray now?

I'm sorry.

Hmm... Are you sure I can do this thing?

Of course you can

See... coding is very easy

As easy as ABC

All you need to do is pick a programming Language that best suits you

JavaScript, Python, PHP

- HTML, all of that - EFCC

C+, CC, C-sharp

I'm loosing you abi?

Pretty much

Okay... Let's start Let me show you.

- Mummy, Dad - Nwa'm

Good morning

- Am I safe? - Yea

You are o, we just came to talk to you

Okay, this is going to be a serious conversation

- {Goch chuckling} - No o, it's not serious o

We just want to talk to you

Goch it's not like we are trying to pressure you or anything but...

You're not getting any younger

- And neither are we - Mm hmm

Your father had a heart attack months back and

God forbid, what if he didn't make it

That's how he won't see his grandchildren o

Mom why are you sounding like all these nollywood mothers now

That's how you're sounding right now

You're taking this too far

- Nothing is going to happen to you dad - Amen!

- Amen o - Amen

At least I still have a few years, you know

- To stay - Even me

But err... seriously Ugochi

Ugochukwu. See I was twenty six years old

When I got married to your mother

Okay...

And eh...

We didn't have a thriving business like you have now

But God Has been faithful

He has helped us

I wonder where I would have been if not for this your mother

If I didn't get married to her

And that is the same thing that we are seeking for you

You know

My child...

Talk to me

Are you afraid of settling down?

See, your father and I didn't have a perfect marriage

- But we've been happy for thirty-five years - Mmm hmm

Why don't you want something like that?

It's not that I don't want

Things are just complicated

Ha! Complicated kwa?

How?

What is complicated in you meeting a girl

Falling in love with her and then marrying her?

And that is it, I mean, it's as simple as that.

I understand but...

I don't even know how to go about it

I mean work takes all of my time

And then in church I've not

Although that was like my least Favorite of their songs

At least that's something we both can agree on

Which one?

Styl plus or the song?

Both

I love Styl plus but I prefer their love songs

Wow

Pastor Goch... You mean to tell me that you listen to such songs?

Yes

I love Styl Plus

I know all their lyrics

I was in boarding school, we didn't have a radio

But I had this friend who knew all their songs

So what I would do is

I would call her to come and write all the lyrics for me

Ahhh... Geeez

Me too... I fell in love with style plus

Almost around the same time I fell in love with dancing

So, which one is your favorite?

Errm... you go first

Okay...

Oh my God

Let see, umm, hmm this is a tough one

{Singing} Olufumi oo ma kpami lekun oo

Go on, yea

Sorry

I'm so embarrassed

Don't be

It's okay

It hurts

Sorry

Thank you

You look really beautiful

You too

Well, not beautiful but you know what I mean

No

No no no no

No no no no no

This is the first time my parent would set me up on a date

It has never happened in this kind of way

Same here, I mean I didn't even know what to expect

Me too

Well, I'm kinda liking it

Me too

{Amanda crying}

So what church do you attend?

Solid Rock

Oh!! Same as your parents

Mm hmm

Nice, nice

I think I know your pastor and his wife

His wife was at my church about a year ago

The message was something on Saving Grace

{Inaudible}

Umm, so I'm just going to go to the ladies room

I'll be back in like a second

Don't miss me too much

You've already done so much for me

And taking me in

When I had no one else

Giving me a job

Leading me to Christ

You've changed my life in just three months

I can't put this on you

You know I don't want to bring shame to

Ama just... just tell me what it is

I mean... everything is going to be fine

I promise

You can't promise that

No one can

God can

He does

I'm pregnant

I am carrying Gbenga's baby

God this sounds

This sounds so much worse when I say it out loud

Like I think it's his

I'm not sure

He made me do things with other men too

I don't, I don't quite know

I've had an abortion before

Went through a lot, with what I know now I can't do that

Ama

All will be well Ama

Here...

Thank you.

You've been such a God sent to me

You and Mum and Dad

I didn't think I ever believed that God ever loved me till I met you guys

I've been such a burden

You're not a burden now, no

Listen, you're special

Say it, I'm special

Goch, this is not the time for one of your daily affirmations

I was finally getting my life together

I wanted to make you proud

I wanted to make Mum and Dad proud

I wanted to make God proud, but

How can I do that now when

Oh gosh!!

God doesn't love based on your performance

No

Nothing you ever do

Can be good enough to qualify you for his love

Nothing

And nothing can disqualify you either

What can separate us from the love of God? Paul says

Nothing.

Ama, we're your family

We love you

You'll keep this baby

You'll be a great Mum

You'll go through this

We will go through this together

Father thank you

Thank you for your daughter Amanda

Thank you for shedding

Yes

Yes sir

No I'm working on it now

mm-hmm

I'll have it set before you get in

Okay

Oh...kay

- Aunty well done o - Eeehhh Uduak, well done o, well done.

I wanted to congratulate you

Oh, what about?

Ah! You did really well madam!

You're the smartest person here

You did really amazing!

It takes a smart woman to catch a man with what he wants

Ma, don't you understand what I'm talking about?

Some ladies in the office have been trying to woo the boss

For a very long time now

He didn't even give them a chance

But you, without wasting time

You got him to like you And make you pregnant

And it'll be a very cute baby

- It'll be a really fine baby - Uduak, what are you talking about?

Ma'am you know what I'm referring to You do

In fact, if you didn't know, Miss Miriam... Ah!

She's so jealous of you, extremely

I even overheard her discussing it with... {Uduak whispering}

{Uduak whispering}

That's enough, I've heard you.

Come in

You wanted to see me Sir

You left without me this morning

Please shut the door

Why?

Everybody in the office already knows my business

Okay, someone is in a mood this morning

Maybe this would cheer you up

You got selected for the she can code contest

The internship in South Africa?

You don't sound excited

That's an all-expenses paid trip

Listen, I'm happy you entered that competition

Congratulations!!

Thank you.

At least I'll be out of here

I'm due for a change of scenery

What's wrong?

Is that all sir?

Yeah, that would be all.

Is there a reason everybody in the office knows that I'm pregnant?

Wha what?

What are you saying?

Ugochukwu I trusted you

And then the cleaner, comes to me And starts...

No no no no... I only told Mariam so that she would ensure that your health insurance

Is, is, is in place

Miriam now, why would you do this kind of thing now

{stuttering} I didn't do...

I need to call her

No no no, don't do that

She needs to apologize

It's not necessary

Everybody already thinks that you're the father of the child

Doing that would just fuel the rumors

Besides I will be out of here in a few weeks

So I guess they'll have something else to talk about

You look cute when you are angry

Get away! I hate you so much.

I love you too

You can sit down

I'm still kind of mad at you though

Kind of... only a little... but still mad

Very mad

What's up, are you okay?

PL you know that I really wanted to go with you to the outreach right?

Ehn na, that's why you are coming

I can't

Why, are you ok?

I'm pregnant

You're not saying anything

Is that all?

Mm hmm

That one's not contagious na

I just said that to make you feel better

Of course it's not contagious but...

You're only pregnant, you didn't kill anyone

It's just that

I've been down this road before

I was pregnant three years ago

Even spoke to a pastor about it

He called me out during service

You are not kidding

He used me as an example

For the dangers of fornication

I'm so sorry

I got an abortion the next day

I couldn't sleep for months

But with what I know now I can't do that again

But I would soon start showing

People will know that I'm pregnant

How can I preach to people when...?

when I'm not pure myself?

When I'm carrying a...

You're carrying a child

It's a child

A child is a good thing

Because something is a product of your past

Doesn't mean that it has no place in your future

Besides if only perfect people could preach

Nobody would be preaching, not even me

Look at it this way

What makes you saved, your right standing with God

It's not a function of chastity

Or body count or lack thereof

It's a gift of grace

You being saved by grace through faith is not of works

So your boasting is all in what God has done for you

And not in what you can do for God

I know you will make better decisions moving forward

But right now you have to understand

God loves you

And he doesn't just love you

For what you do or don't do

He loves you for you

Besides look at the woman at the well

She had five husbands...

And one, what did they call it... side bobo

Yet after meeting Jesus she still preached to other people

I think many times you have to be forgiven much to love much

To show other people that same grace

That made you saved

It's what you're sharing with them and that's powerful

Everything will be fine

You are coming with me

You are

Say yes

Yes

Cross your heart, and hope to... Okay, hope to live

Besides I've already planned our outfits

Outfits?

Yeah, you'll see it

You'll be fine

Thank you PL.

Yay! We're going!

I'm excited, I think

- I'm nervous - No you'll be fine

I'm sure you'll do a good job

You look hot!

Thank you

I'm so happy you came

- "Pastor Lilian I don't want to come I'm not worthy* - That's not how I said it

That how you said it

OK, let me try

- Pastor Lilian, I don't want to come - That's not how I sound

But... is it okay to admit that I'm actually really nervous

It's okay to feel nervous

But you don't have to stay nervous

They're regular people like you

So that's my girl, that one

Oh, ok

Jite! Come now

{Knocks on the door}

Alero I know you are inside

And you can hear me

I'm coming in.

I'm sorry love

You kept me...

Waiting at the restaurant

For hours Ugochukwu

You couldn't even call me

I'm sorry

My battery died

I had to drive Amanda to the airport

You know today... Her trip to South Africa is today

And then I dropped her at the airport

I had to seat with her to be sure that she didn't need anything

You know it's her first time flying

And then on my way back There was a lot of traffic

You know how this thing is

It's always about Amanda

I'm not even surprised anymore

Amanda this, Amanda that

But she's my friend

Are you sure about that?

What do you mean am I sure about that?

Are you sure you're just friends?

Why would you have to ask me such a question?

Why won't I ask you that Ugochukwu

No tell me, why won't I ask you that Ugochukwu Obiora

All we do in this relationship

Is talk about Amanda

That's all we ever do

In fact, when we first started dating

I used to hear some funny rumors that

You guys were some sort of item

And that you might even be the father of her unborn child

But now?

Now, now I don't know Ugochukwu

What are you even saying?

Where is all of this coming from?

Listen, Ugochukwu

I need some time

I'll call you later

Amanda...

Alero...

You know what?

There's nothing to talk about

This... is over

We're done!

Ama...

Mmm

Sorry

- Oya come - Mmm

Hmm... e be like say you wan break your back

Sorry sorry sorry

Preaching in the bus

Soon, her!? How do you know she's a girl?

Sorry

I'm calling a cab

Your contractions are 4mins apart

We need to get you to a hospital

Goch I don't think that's what you should be worried about

What are you talking about?

I think my water just broke

So so what am I supposed to do?

Just call a cab

Where are you going now?

Where, sorry

- Call a cab... On your phone - I'm calling a cab

There should be, sorry

Do I need to carry you?

Sorry, sorry

But you said the baby was coming next month now

But I didn't say it was your fault {Amanda screams}

Sorry

Good God! Is that how it is? Sorry

Oh my God, we are having a baby I'm so excited

Ehn ehn I came here to have breast enlargement

- Sorry doctor don't worry about that she's just.. - Oh

The other Doctor Pela

Dad is away for the holidays!

And this is my first solo delivery

Let's get you checked

Oh it's ok daddy

Husbands are allowed in

I'll just get the nurse come fit you in for the session

Where do you think you are going Better sit-down

You want to leave me here, (hiss)

And here I was thinking

- Sit down - This was going to be a boring shift

We're having a baby

Alright, this looks good

On your next contraction

Pusshhh

I'm pushing

Sure

You almost broke my hand

You squeezed it

Here's your baby

She's such a beautiful baby girl

- Awnn - careful

I'll be right back

I'm your mom

I'm your mummy

I love you

Look at your bright eyesss

I love you

Do you know what I'm going to name her?

What?

Ugochi

Just because I can't name her Ugochukwu

Hi my lover!!

In fact eh

I miss my baby a lot

I'm taking her with me to the office tomorrow

Yeah well, she can't wait to see you

That would be my birthday gift

Hmm mmm

Ok no problem I'll call you later

Aaah okay

Guys he's coming, he's here, he's here

SURPRISE!!

Happy birthday

You too?

You know, I knew you would be surprised

You're a part of it?

You!!

You know, you know

I got you

Happy birthday!

You're a super woman o

How could you pull this off

You just gave birth to a baby

More so

You are proud

But thank you

I really appreciate it

The way I will make mouth with you At the office ehn

Those people stressed me more than usual today

Ehhn?

What happened?

The app is ready

No way

- My God, that's so great - Mm hmm

Are you happy?

Well like yes, the client is happy

No no not about that

I mean you

Like are you happy, happy?

I've never been this happy my entire life

Thank you

You're a clown

- Hi Amanda - Hey!

Happy birthday Ugochukwu

I got you something

Errm, I'm just going to go to the kitchen to get something to drink

You invited Alero

Ehen! How can you have a party and not invite your girlfriend

{clears throat}

I just was..

Just go on ahead, we'll talk about it later

Go!!

Burst all the balloons like before

Great party, man

Amazing!

Second bottle

You are bad o

I swear

I throw a mean party right?

- You pulled it off - I did!!

I swear, but that was not the plan

- Seyi - Hey Goch, what's up man?

Good day at work?

Here we go

Hey! Here we go

Aha! Good work!

Really nice

What happened to his shirt?

Funny story. Do you want to tell it?

Do you want to tell it?

Ok so what had happened was

I think little Ugochi had a little bit too much to eat

- Mm hmm - She practically burped all over my shirt

And I'm sorry about that

Nah, it's fine.

And you don't have a vest?

Ugochukwu

No it's fine, it's not about that

So I typically raised my younger sisters and

They used to puke a lot as kids

So, I've got the hang of it, I'm used to it

They can be as bad as little Ugochi, trust me

And emm here is the thing

- The next time I'm coming - ehn ehn

I'm going to come with an extra pair of shirt

Okay!

So if anything goes wrong, I have safety

- Wow - Or maybe you should just call the next time you'll come

To be sure if the food she has eaten has digested before you just show up

You don't just show up

I think I'll go check up on little Ugochi

Yea, I'll be with you in just a minute

Mmm, do that

Sorry

What! She shouldn't be left with strangers

Seyi is not a stranger

Seyi is not a stranger, Then what is he?

What is he really?

Shows up here and just takes off his shirt

Shows up here and just takes off when did he take off his...

Is it not just this one time

So you say

What's that supposed to mean?

Well exactly what it's supposed to mean

I'm beginning to think about your priorities

You have a baby, you are just getting your life back on track

Didn't you say you don't want a relationship?

Is that not what you said?

He's great with Ugochi

And I'm great with Ugochi as well, Ehen!

He comes around to help, his schedule is flexible

Oh I'm sure it is

Shuffling his time between the gym and this place

- Just to what? Show his chest - Ugochukwu

Which one is biting you?

Because did you not say you don't want a relationship?

Is that not what you said?

Because I didn't think that a God fearing respectable guy would actually want me

Besides he hasn't actually said anything He's just being friendly and helpful

What if he does, what if he wants something?

And would it be so bad, that someone would actually want me?

Besides Ugochi could use a real Father

And people would stop all the rumors about you

Is she complaining?

She has a Father

- She has a Father - Yes!

Gbenga?! Is a father

Did I say Gbenga? I'm in her life!

And Dad and Pastor Victor

It's not the same thing Ugochukwu

You and Alero will get married and have your own kids

I cant be stuck here and just wait

I said it!

Didn't I say it?

This is not about my God daughter

It's not.

It's about your insatiable desire to always be in a relationship

Is it a problem to be single for once, is it?

How can you say that?

But it's the truth now

Is it not true?

If it's not Gbenga today, it's Segun tomorrow

Or some random guy

Do you have to jump on any guy that gives you the slightest attention?

Goch!

You just run off

Is that really what you think of me?

Ama...

I'm sorry

I shouldn't have said those hurtful things to you

Alero broke up with me

Ahhh... So that's why you have been so cranky?

I'm sorry

I would have been more understanding if I knew

I mean it must be really difficult

Seeing a new relationship blossom right under your roof

When you're going through a bad break up

Relationship?

Yeah... it's nothing official, but he asked

I mean I wanted to discuss it with you first

I wanted to find out what you think

I wouldn't say yes if you didn't think that it was a good idea

I mean I owe you that much

You don't owe me anything

I'm the one who has a lot to apologize for

And it's not just about today

I've treated you as if I own you

I told you where to live, what to do

Where to work

All I did is, so I control your life, just because

You saved me

Ugochukwu you saved me

And I'm so thankful

And I'm forever indebted to you and

I'm so thankful

I didn't save you

Jesus did

I was just

I was just a vessel

I've let the thank yous get to my head

Don't thank me, I don't want the gratefulness

I just want your forgiveness

Cause I messed up

I messed up again

I'm sorry

I'm sorry too

It sucks when you love someone and they don't love you back

When did she end it?

Mm?

Alero, when did she break up with you?

The night you left for S.A

Why didn't you tell me all this time?

Ugochuku we've been talking practically every single night

Since I left for S.A, I mean why didn't you...?

That's why she broke up with you, isn't it?

Oh my God

Goch you practically put your entire life on hold because of me

You should have said something

I would have spoken to her

I would have explained that there's nothing here

I mean me and you be like oil and water, we no...

I would have told her now

You should have told me

Seyi is a great guy

Yeah

I would let him marry my sister

Because I know his intentions are pure

Just tell him to stop showing his chest up and down

He's not the only one with a...

Guy! Can you stop with the pidgin already?

Speak english

Speak the language you understand

Seriously

I'm sorry

I'm sorry I said those hurtful things

I'm so sorry ok

I love you

Sis.

I love you too

Bro

Ah! P.L me I can't tell him oo

He deserves someone pure and...

me I just have a ton of baggage

Why else would he be telling me to date Seyi

You should have seen him

If Seyi had brought errm, bride price

He would have collected it, right there and then

Well...

P.L let me call you back

I'm getting a call from one of the ladies from the brothel

Okay

Hey sis!

Hi!

They want to kill me for here o

I'm waiting at the junction for you, come

Eh eh eh, calm down, calm down

What's the matter?

I'm scared

- Calm down, talk to me, what's wrong? - I'm scared, I'm scared

Wait wait wait!!

{muffled screams}

She's not picking her...

Goch...

Mama have you seen her?

Seen who?

Amanda

I thought she was with you

With me how?

I didn't know she wasn't back

Back from where?

Her phones are switched off

Its past ten

She's usually not this late

Don't worry

I hope she's ok

Don't worry my dear, she will be fine

Pig

You're back

Just because I stayed in this pig sty with you

Does not make me a pig

How dare you?

You stupid piece of trash

Little Gbenga

Projecting his insecurities on me

We both know the real reason that you're calling me

A worthless piece of trash

Is because that's how you feel about yourself Mmm

What, mummy didn't love you enough abi

I see that you've got a sharp mouth now abi

you're bold to talk back at me

By the time I'm done with you

You'll be begging me

You'll be begging me to kill you

What do you think you are doing?

Have you taken shots?

Because we both know that you won't be able to get it up

If you haven't taken your shots

Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world

I'm not afraid of you Gbenga

In fact you should be the one that..

Shut up joor

Are you mad?!

They're emboldening you right?

By the time I'm done with you

By the time I am...

By the time I am done with you eh

Ama...

Goch

How did you get here?

- How did you find me? - It's alright

Gbenga is coming

Don't worry about Gbenga, don't worry

Easy Easy.

I'm so sorry

- I'm sorry - Oh my God

So sorry

I have been a coward since, I don't know what I'd have done if I lost you

I'm really sorry

You know

You once asked me

How I was so sure about heaven

Even though I've never been there

It's the same way I'm so sure I love you

Even though I don't see it

I feel it in my heart

I have evidence

In the decisions that I make

In the way my heart leaps for joy everytime I hear your voice

In the way you're such a constant conviction

Every time I pray even though I'm not praying about you

I didn't think it would be this hard

Errrmmm

I know you say things like

I saved you

The truth is, Amanda you saved me

With all my insecurities

You brought me out of my shell

Made me a better man

I have never been as free with anyone As I am with you

I look at your life

I look at your strength

I look at your story and

I'm more than ever convinced that

That there is a God

And... Every day I pray to him and

I'm begging him that

He should not let you see me just as a brother

A brother?

What gave you that idea?

Well... Errrm, I I

I mean you're the one always saying I love you sis

And then you pushed me to Seyi

Ugochukwu, I've always loved you

Say it again

I love you

I've loved you for a very long time

I just didn't think that

You would want me with all my baggage

No don't say that

I'm not ashamed of...

I'm not ashamed of who you were

Or what you've been through

I'm excited about who you are

And what we can be together

Marry me

What?

Yeah...

I mean I know it's

I know it's impromptu

Unplanned but, see I can't date you for long

I will just sin

I want to kiss you and...

I...

I don't want to do it until you're all mine

Because I won't stop

So that's why you want to marry

No, that's not it

What I mean is...

So you don't want to kiss me

I want to kiss you... but

I want to do it on the wedding day

That's why I want it to be special

You know, so It's not like I want you for your body or anything, but...

So you don't want my body

I want it... No

Errrmm...

Why are you messing with me?

I should have planned this better

No...

It's perfect

Ugochukwu I love you

I love you

And... Yes! I will marry you.

Sooner rather than later

- You will? - Mm hmm
