Original subtitles

A lazy person fights from afar.

Screaming it will be well with us!

My friend so you are this lazy?

At the sound of gunshots, she jumped off the stage.

Wow! We really saw how you used your body as shield to protect us.

Pot calling kettle black.

Honestly, the threat of cultism requires us to be more vigilant.

This problem is getting out of hand.

Right now, the issue is in the hands of the school management

and if they don't act fast, the consequences will be severe.

Please, there's something I don't understand,

were they cults members before gaining admission, or they joined while in school?

No, they were born with it. [Sarcasm]

Let's stop talking about these cultists.

But, honestly I enjoyed your performance on stage.

Did you see the way her hands were swinging at the drum?

Like you were the queen of the drum yourself.

Your command of the drum is absolutely beautiful!

- Thank you darling. - I give it to you.

Pipe, you missed a lot.

You needed to see the way your sister was drumming,

People were dancing... She was so amazing.

- Good day sir. - Welcome daddy.

Medical students decided to prove to you all,

including theatre arts students, that we know about entertainment too.

Honestly, you tried.

Without the disturbance, it would have been a memorable night.

You did a great job.

We are ready to leave.

- Will you be in school tomorrow? - Of course I will be in school.

- I am coming tomorrow. - Bye.

- Thanks for coming. - Bye sir.

Daddy, they are saying goodbye.

Eriola!

- Come here! - Sir.

- Where are you? - I am here sir.

Stop behaving like an uncultured child.

Move... Stand here!

Come here! Here!

Now, I need you to know...

that the deceiver isn't foolish, it's the deceived who is not wise.

What has medicine got to do with theatre?

Did you think I didn't hear the entire conversation you had with your friends?

Yes, daddy, the medical students, presented a stage play for our student week.

Will you shut up your mouth?

I was a student before you were born.

I am sorry sir.

Now...

there is no space for theatre in my house.

And if you are my daughter, you will stop all this theatre nonsense now!

- Am I clear? - Yes sir.

This is your last warning.

This is your last warning!

If you have other interest beyond your studies,

then be responsible and follow me to my farm.

And to that effect, you'll attend school from home starting today.

And only return to your hostel during exams.

- But daddy... - Shut up!

The house isn't far from your school.

And you should be home before 7 o'clock.

Is that clear?

- Yes sir. - Get out!

And bring me today's newspaper.

Ok sir.

Thank you all. It shall be well with you.

Thank you all.

It shall be well with you!

May we have more reasons to celebrate.

Let the celebration continue.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Come this way. You can sit here.

Thank you.

- May we live long. - Amen.

Your friend is on his way.

Hey come!

Serve them drinks.

Thank you for coming.

It shall be well with you.

- May we all live long. - Amen.

- Good morning sir. - Good morning sir.

- Good morning sir. - Well done.

Well done.

Where is he? Bring him here.

Here he is.

Is it true you stole eggs from me?

I noticed three cracked eggs were getting spoilt. So I decided to eat them.

You ate them?

They say to be forewarned is forearmed

but you have refused to heed the warnings.

- What instruction did I give you all before you were hired? - You instructed us not to steal.

Very good.

You are right boss. You instructed us not to steal.

We shouldn't touch the chicken, not to mention the eggs, but it's the devil's work.

The devil's work?

I entrusted you with the chickens, and you stole my eggs.

If you were put in charge of a bank, you will steal the customers money...

Later you will all complain about corrupt government.

Are you also good citizens?

You know what to do.

- Where is the key to my office? - Yes sir.

- Welcome. - Yes sir.

- Yes! - Where are the armed robbers?

Here he is.

Here he is, please take him away.

I know some people may try to bail him, don't release him to anyone.

Do you understand me?

I want to prosecute him.

Charge him to court immediately. My lawyer will handle everything else.

- Officers. - Sir.

Take the offender away.

Stand up.

- I'm sorry sir. - Let's go!

Thief!

Please boss.

Thief.

Big thief!

I won't hesitate to send all of you to jail if you don't stop stealing.

Wait...

Are you going to school with your lips painted as if dipped in blood?

- Daddy it's fashion. - Fa...

What are you all turning the world into?

What do you want to turn the school into?

I am sorry sir.

- I hope you are not waiting for me to drop you off? - I am sir, I have a lot of luggage.

What if your father doesn't own a car?

Won't you carry luggage to school?

I will.

I worked hard before I could buy all these cars.

Work hard and acquire your own car.

Don't be in a haste to enjoy luxury, so that it can last long.

This is my own car.

Wait for your own time.

Face your studies and study hard.

- Do you understand me? - I understand.

I wish you the best in your coming exams.

Thank you sir.

Is he really not going to drop me off?

Don't you know you should open the gate for me?

I am sorry sir.

- We are not late, wait for us. - We are late.

You are walking like you're headed to your husband's place.

We are late already, walking fast won't change anything.

I don't understand you, why are you always in a hurry.

- You want us to be sent out of the class. - These ladies are beautiful.

- We are late already. - Which ladies?

Beautiful girl. Come here, I want to see you.

- Me? - Yes, you.

- Please... - Come.

Please don't be offended, We have a class and I am late for it, maybe later.

- Please explain to him. - Come.

He's listening to what you are saying.

We are late.

Excuse me, what's your problem?

Can't we walk peacefully within the school premises without being disturbed?

What's the problem?

- What does that mean? - She's not talking to you.

Can't he can call on anyone he likes on campus?

I am saying he can't.

Wait a minute, what's the relationship between good students and thugs?

Wait a minuite, are you calling us thugs?

She's wasn't talking to you, sir.

Yes, it is you.

What if you were the one he called, what will you do?

I am in trouble.

If you touch me again, I will slap you a second time.

Please sir.

Let's go!

- Leave me alone! - Let's go please!

- Listen, I am not scared of you. - That's enough!

Talk some sense into your friend's head.

Eriola!

Guy! What's going on?

- What sort of disrespect is this? - Calm down.

This is just child's play, I'll get her.

Why are we still talking about this?

After all, we both grew up in the same area.

But you overreacted.

Why did you slap him?

What if he had responded by beating you up?

- Beat me up? That would be his last. - My friend, keep quiet!

The skin can't look the same after it is scared.

- He will beat you mercilessly! - Beat me up? Never!

Eriola what you did was rash, that was an assault.

He didn't attack you, all he did was hold your hand.

Why did he put his hand on me.

- There's no point! - You do not have a point and you know it!

And you are being adamant.

I pray we are able to withstand this problem you have started.

What are you really saying?

Men! three nights ago was fun.

- You can't handle your alcohol intake. - I was exhausted.

[GREETINGS]

- My guy. - What's up...

[GREETINGS]

Stop!

Stop there!

You are the one terrorizing this school!

You are under arrest!

Let him go! I need you to let him go now!

So you think you are smart.

Don't let him go!

What's going on...

What's going on?

Search everywhere...

Did you see anyone run past here?

Are you sure?

Search everywhere!

How far? Let's go!

Are they gone?

Thank you very much.

May you find a helper in time of need.

Thank you.

Wait here, don't implicate me.

Stop there! Don't move!

Stop there...

Come out...

Surrender right now! You are under arrest!

Wait! She is not involved! Leave her alone!

She is not involved.

- Shut up! - She's not involved!

Move it! Move it everybody!

Move...

Move...

Move...

- Please is it true? - Yes it is.

How come?

What do we do now?

I said it!

The way she shows off on campus or isn't that Eriola's picture on the notice board?

- Yes that's her. - Of course, she's a cultist.

Birds of a feather.

- Same to you. - She won't be free.

The lady with a sharp tongue, please hold on.

I want to see your face properly.

The face of someone who has spent ten years in this school.

- Are you a member of APC? - You are an animal.

- Did you just call me an animal. - Yes, you are an animal.

- You will all be arrested soon. - Please don't beg me.

I really do not blame you.

- You are very wayward. - And you are very useless.

- We have searched your daughter's room... - Excuse me, she is not my daughter.

She's not my child.

My child is in school preparing for her exams.

This one is not the child I birthed.

When she's through she will show me her certificate and say daddy, I have succeeded.

This is not my child.

Okay, we will do our job.

Daddy please.

What did you find?

Don't be offended sir. We are only doing our job.

I told you we do not store properties of theives in my house.

Oyekan, calm down.

It's not a bad thing, it will elevate you.

A lot of people became great after their time in prison.

They want to announce you to the world, this will make you popular.

You can leave now.

Treat him with care.

Go!

Go!

Don't hurt him. Don't hurt my younger brother.

Go!

What are you all waiting for! Or do you want to be cursed?

What are you looking at?

Where are your guys?

Did you see anyone else with me when I was arrested?

What is your relationship with the woman arrested with you?

You should release her, she knows nothing about this.

Ok.

Oyekan, between you and I, I know you own a gun.

- Where is your gun? - I do not own a gun.

You claim you do not own a gun, yet you fought with both a gun and a cutlass.

I know nothing about that.

A street fight spilled into the school, and we joined in.

You say you know nothing about it?

Alright.

My dear father,

the son of Sase olubanre, you know how we are.

I promised to be a good child, but I failed.

I know I'm a bad child but please do not forsake me.

If you can rescue me,

I promise not to get myself involved in such an ugly situations again.

Yours faithfully,

Eriola Ajoke.

- Who wrote this letter? - Eriola did sir.

Eriola.

Which Eriola are you talking about?

Eriola sir, your daughter. Our friend.

You know,

war can affect those it wasn't meant for

but a curse will only affect who it was directed at.

Yes.

Ok.

How many are you here?

- Three sir. - Three.

Stand in twos.

It's not possible sir.

- You mean it's impossible? - Yes sir.

You see, it is the same for my daughter.

It's impossible,

because my daughter is currently in the school where I enrolled her.

In fact as we speak, she's currently writing her exams.

- Daddy she's not writing her exams. - She's not in school.

Sir she is not in school.

Ok.

Extend my greetings to the sender.

Ok sir.

- Bye bye. - Bye sir.

Do you know what I think?

I think we should have our seats, maybe he wants to send us drinks so we can relax.

Please let's leave!

You see someone storm off and you are still waiting.

Is that what my father said?

Yes.

What will we gain from adding and subtracting from what he said?

Alright.

It's fine.

If this kills me, when I get to heaven I will choose differently.

It's not that serious.

I want you to know this is just a lesson, it will make you wiser.

I don't want you to keep thinking in that direction.

I was just very stupid.

Eriola, you are a fool, you are very foolish.

Officer.

Move out.

Eriola.

Go out.

Oyekan, I hope there's no problem at all?

- If there is, tell me. - There isn't.

- I am okay. - Put your mind to rest.

This matter will be resolved and you won't be harmed.

- Do you hear? - Thank you.

I brought you food. I bought it from Iya Asake and it is hot.

It's best you eat now.

- Thank you. - You are welcome.

Stop thanking me.

- Lady officer. - What do you want?

Please can you give this to Eriola?

She won't eat it.

Her friends brought her food, she refused to eat it.

She is refusing food? What is she eating?

She's been crying non stop.

This matter...

Brother, did you visit the person asked you to?

What is the significance of this person?

Explain the significance of this person to me...

Is this person more important than I am?

What's is his importance? I want to know.

You keep insisting...

Do you know how many spiritual consultations and sacrifices I have done because of this matter?

- Brother, you can't understand. - I won't?

It's someone who can help with our release.

Someone who can help with your release? Nonsense.

- Please let's free Eriola from the problem she is in. - So I am not useless?

- So I am useless? - You are not...

No problem.

Daddy,

I came to see you regarding my sister's issue.

You elders usually say...

If a mother is angry and throws her child into the nest of soldier ants...

what happens when her anger subsides but that of the ants does not?

Daddy please.

Please.

Forgive my sister.

- Bimpe. - Sir.

You see...

We can only wake up someone who is asleep

not someone pretending to be asleep.

You beg someone who is angry to calm down.

But not someone who is not.

I have nothing against your sister Eriola.

But...

Eriola has been disobedient and she's facing the consequences.

She has behaved just as she's always wanted to,

if you now want to stop me from acting as I wish, then there will be a problem.

So don't disturb yourself.

Go to bed, there is no case, okay?

But daddy...

Go to sleep.

Good night.

Sign here.

- Where? - On the line.

Well done.

Could you please arrange the belongings of Eriola and Oyekan and bring the both of them out.

Tell Oyekan, today calls for celebration, his friends are outside, they brought a car.

- Those are their things. - A car will take him home.

- You can have your seat sir. - I do not want to sit.

But can I smoke?

You can.

Anywhere you are calling from by the grace of God, May our prayers be answered.

People praying on the mountain...

Welcome.

Well done sir.

- Don't be angry with me sir. - Eriola.

- Sir. - You are welcome.

Yes sir.

Welcome back...

- Thank you sir. - May God not allow it to repeat itself.

- Amen sir. - Sometimes things like this happen.

- Sorry. - Thank you sir.

Good job standing by each other.

- Thank you sir. - Sorry.

You know what?

Let her go in and take a shower.

After her bath, let her eat.

Give her medicine if she is in pains.

In the morning, let her see a doctor.

- Do you understand? - Ok sir.

- Good job standing for each other. - Yes sir.

- Thank you daddy. - Thank you daddy.

Thank you very much sir.

Sorry.

Sorry.

You are welcome.

Thank you.

- Do you recognise this face? - I am sorry, I am trying to recollect.

I am Oladunni's father, the friend of your daughter Eriola.

- Oh my goodness! Please have your seat. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Don't be offended.

Offended? Not at all.

- I have a great visitor today. - Yes.

- I hope there isn't any problem? - No problem at all. I am here so there won't be any at all.

Thank you.

May you grow old.

I am here because of our stubborn children.

They have refused to listen.

I am here because of your daughter, Eriola.

- You came because of that. - I had to.

Eriola isn't at home.

If she was home, it would be easer to discuss the matter in her presence.

- She's nearby. - What!

I told her not to come in. It is disrespectful if I bring her in.

- Eriola! - Sir!

Come here.

Kneel down!

Just look at her.

Please.

Elder!

A parable says...

I lived with you for 20 years,

I walked with you for 30 months,

yet you doubt my opinion about you.

Does this mean I do not know you well enough?

You know what I like and what I do not.

Eriola, where is graduation certificate of the school I sent you to?

That is the only thing I want from you.

- My daddy, I am sorry sir. - Sorry for what?

Keep quiet!

What nonsense are you saying?

A parent's failure...

- Is the characteristic of a useless adult. - True.

I have done my part as a deligent parent.

Her not showing me that certificate will to be a challenge.

Elder, thank you, you have tried.

You are a good parent.

It's like when when a child cuts of a dogs ear,

after cutting a dog's ear, you then hide the knife. Why are you hidding the knife?

I beg you in God's name. In the name of Olodumare I beg you.

Don't allow anger control you.

Please forgive her, let this serve as a warning.

Like you elders say...

When the sun comes out is the best time to climb trees and pluck fruits.

True.

[Proverb]

[Proverb]

True.

Only one thing can resolve this issue on ground.

It is her school certificate.

Does this mean I came here in vain?

Please, if she were your daughter, would you ask her not to attain her certificate?

No, I can't tell her that.

Good.

Bye.

You are in trouble...

Wait here.

Don't go anywhere, don't follow me. Wait.

If he consistently sees you, his heart will eventually melt.

- Get out silly child... Get out! - Daddy, I beg you in God's name.

- Leave my house. - Daddy please.

I don't want to see you close to my house.

Daddy, Daddy please.

There's no where else for me to go.

Don't let you see you around here or you will regret it.

Nonsense.

Daddy please hear me out...

Daddy please.

Daddy.

Leave me alone.

What do you want from me?

See what you have done to me?

- What do you want from me? - I want your safety.

Safety really?

Safety with you Oyekan?

Don't take advantage of me. Leave me alone.

Listen, you are not safe.

The guys chasing you, think you are one of us and they want their revenge.

You can't defend yourself against them, you need me.

Eriola, if anything bad happens to you, I would never forgive myself.

Please come with me until everything is sorted out.

I will protect you.

Please.

...that doubt, you create doubt in the minds of people. Are you sure they are not...

manipulate the process of...

- Daddy, good morning sir. - Pipeola.

- Hope you are fine? - I am fine sir.

- Did you sleep well? - Yes sir.

- How is your father? - He is fine sir.

Sir, I came to ask if my sister is here.

Didn't I leave her in your house yesterday?

Daddy sent her out from the house last night.

I haven't seen her since then.

Olanifuja! There's a limit when scolding a child.

She's not here.

- Do you mean she's not here? - She's not here.

- Where is aunty Dunni? - She has gone to school.

You know what? Go to her other friends.

They know their whereabouts better than I do.

- Go quickly. - Ok sir.

Give me feedback.

Olanifuja.

You are getting old, you should know a bitter old person can't build a house.

This is tiring.

Please what am I doing here? What exactly am I doing here?

You held me hostage asking me not to go out. You said it is dangerous for me and all sorts.

What eaxctly am I doing here?

What sort of problem did I put myself in? I helped the wrong person.

Eriola, please don't be offended.

Indeed, I wronged you

but they believe we are in a relationship

that is why they intend to use you to get me.

Just listen to yourself.

You and I in a relationship, how?

If they had that sort of assumption,

you should have clarified that, and told them they are mistaken?

How is that even possible?

Impossible.

What do we have in common?

How are we even compactible that would make anyone think we are dating?

Who are the mad people that came up with such an assumption?

Can you listen to yourself.

It's better you reach out to those people... If they want to kill me, they can go ahead and kill me.

It is better they kill me, than for me to stay in this room with you, I prefer that.

Please don't be angry.

I will sort everything out. Okay?

What did you just say?

Sort everything out.

Have you sorted your life out?

Have you sorted your life out?

Just listen to yourself.

Your life has no bearing...

See where you kept me to since that day.

Does this place look sorted to you?

You will sort it out. How?

Since the day you brought me here,

I've been wearing the same clothes repeatedly, washing and wearing it.

How do you want to sort it out? Tell me!

- You can wear my cloth. - What rubbish?

Which cloth!

I should wear your clothes, Oyekan.

Your cloth on me?

What nonsense.

It makes it clear to me that your life isn't sorted out.

Eriola.

- Eriola, what's wrong? - Nothing, I'm fine.

- Are you sure? - Yes, I am fine.

- You have a fever. - Yes.

I have a headache and I feel cold.

- You feel cold. - Yes.

Ok, I will be back.

Thank you.

He is quite a handsome, tall and striking man.

I pray God transforms him into a better person, so he can leaving behind his bad behavior.

Where are you going to?

I told you I will sort everything out.

- I got a job. - A Job?

You have a job now?

A legitimate one or...

It's legitimate.

It's legitimate.

I secured a job with a building materials company.

I anticipated a job as a laborer,

but I was told they were seeking someone literate

and with a bit of education.

They made me supervisor.

Really?

I told you I would take care of everything.

Yes, you did.

Congratulations.

This guy is turning a new leaf.

Why didn't I see him like this before?

Eriola, what is on your mind?

In 1981,

Oyekan killed some of my guys

and they went scot free.

Oyekan then disappeared.

Even non living things can be found when missing talkless of living things.

I told you, if you miss him, take someone close to him.

The Oyekans still have the effrontery...

to attack my guys in class.

If it's not the devil, they would have gone sscot free.

Now, I need you all to find them...

both of them, at all cost.

Don't worry boss we will track them down very soon.

Confirm! This village is not too big.

Do you get?

When you see them on sight, don't mess up because if you do... We have to revenge.

No problem boss.

You must not mess up!

Because no one will fumble in the jungle.

I Gbenga will track him down.

Both the guilty and innocent will pay the price.

That's how it's done.

Hi.

What did you buy? Ingredients for soup?

Thank you.

You are welcome.

Why are you drinking garri?

Why?

When you brought the food,

I asked if you had eaten and you said you were fine.

Yes, because the food wouldn't be enough for both of us.

Besides I bought it with my last cash.

Oyekan, you should have been honest with me earlier,

the food would have been enough for both of us.

Is it better I eat good food and you to drink garri?

Eriola, you're a lady, I'm a man.

I can manage as long as you're fine.

Thank you.

- You can have some garri? - No.

- Are you sure? - I'm fine.

Eriola!

- Are you okay? - I'm okay.

Get out!

Fool!

I am very angry.

If I'm left with the way I'm feeling..

I would hit your heads with a two by two gun

or hit your heads with a block.

So you can bleed, let Bekini ask me Rasaq what happen?

So I can tell him you are incapacable of a simple task.

- You shot without confirming! - Yes you fumbled big time...

You wasted resources and money.

Do you want to say something? Are you both mad?

It's okay.

A palace cant have two kings, but there can be many chiefs.

As for you two, I can't boast about training you.

Remember, I taught you how to shoot a gun,

- I taught them how to take lives. Isn't that true? - It's true boss.

Why are you not smart?

Now I want you to make sure you kill them.

I will kill the both of you and paint the floor with your blood.

When you die and get to heaven

and you get another opportunity to come back to earth again and you encounter me,

when I give you the order to kill someone, you won't hestiate before killing them immediately.

What's wrong? Why are you not sleeping?

My conscience is disturbing me. I am the cause the problem.

I put you in this situation.

And no matter how many times I say I am sorry,

it can never be enough.

We learn from our mistakes, Oyekanmi.

Everything happens for a reason.

What made you turn out this way?

An apple does not fall far from the tree.

I followed in my parents footsteps.

I followed in my father's footsteps.

We can't always blame the society for every wayward child.

I am following in my father's footsteps.

He taught me that I need to understand the language of people.

And people love chaos.

And they respond to mayhem.

Without realising that we're hurting ourselves and other people.

Truly, life has two sides.

Life is like the talking drum.

Life has two parts.

Look...

People approach life based on their experience.

Oyekanmi,

Whether you are going fast or slow, you will never go beyond your destination.

It takes a wise person to know that you shouldn't make the same mistake twice.

But a fool will make the same mistake continuously.

Oyekanmi, why don't you just learn from what has happened?

Let what happened serve as a warning.

Eriola, I am tired of all these.

That is the reason Gbenga and Felix are after my life.

If not, you know who I am.

I promise you that all of my bad behavior are now in the past.

Because I now understand life better.

Truly...

The child belongs to the father.

I didn't chase you from away from home,

Your behaviour did...

I would like to remind you that

the sixth day of the eighth month of the year is the day we remember of your mom.

No one else can take your place.

I shot my self on the foot, I became the tail.

And Pipeola took my place.

Eriola you are finished.

Daddy, wouldn't my sister attend mum's remembrance this year?

What type of silly question is that?

Weren't you the one who took the letter to her?

If she comes, we will see her.

If she doesn't, I am not holding her back from performing her duties as her mother's child.

- But daddy... - Hold it right there.

Change the subject.

I am done with this conversation... Understood?

- Fela. - Uncle Fela.

- Ladies. - How are you?

- How are you? - Hope you are well?

- I am good. - How was the trip?

It was good, I am grateful...

You girls are not looking bad at all.

- Thank you. - That's good.

Wait a minute, your group is not complete without Eriolami and Bolatito.

What is going on?

- Have you been to her house? - No I haven't, I came here immediately I touched down.

- No wonder. - I think you should go to her house.

But she didn't come to school today...

- Alright I will do just that. - Good.

I will see you later.

- Fela welcome back... - Thank you very much.

- Take care of yourselves. - We will.

We will catch up later.

- Adefela, you are a fantastic son. - Sir.

- A son worth more than one. - In the flesh sir.

I brought you a little gift.

- For me? - Yes sir.

- Thank you very much. - You are welcome sir.

Thank you.

I brought this as well...

What's this?

I want you to have a look at it.

- Masters degree in Business Administration. - That's right.

- New York State University. - Yes sir.

- I'm proud of you. You deserve a handshake. - Thank you sir.

- I'm proud of you. - Thank you sir.

- Super proud of you. - Thank you sir.

- You'll accomplish great things with it. - Amen.

I am short of words... But this is all you, you made this happen.

The rain would have destroyed the snail,

But thanks to the shell protecting it.

If not for you...

I'm sure I wouldn't be able to present this to you today.

Thank you sir, I am grateful.

It is God's grace.

- Let's just thank God. - Thank God.

- How was your journey? - Amazing. It was good.

There's something God loves,

use all your efforts

to assist people who are currently in the position you were before you moved up.

If you encounter a needy person,

with some enthusiasm, to study just like you had them.

- Help them to succeed. - Yes sir.

God will be happy with that. God will be happy with you too.

- Do you understand me? - Yes sir, I will do just that.

Thank you very much sir.

Sir, I can't hear the voices of Eriola and Pipeola, are they not home?

Pipeola is in her room, preparing for her upcoming exams.

You know the school session commences this January in England.

- Oh yes. - That is what she is preparing for.

Eriola on the other hand...

That's exactly what happened.

- Do you know where she is right now? - I do not know.

There is someone she sends to me, who I am sure will know her whereabout.

Who is this person?

I will send a message to her.

I really do not know her exact location.

Please sir, it's important.

It is important I see Eriola.

What's your relationship with her?

She is just a friend that's all.

- Just a friend? - Yes.

Sorry.

I am just saying well done.

Well done? Does this look like work to you?

Eriola.

What is wrong?

Aren't you happy to see me? Come here.

I have missed you so much.

Welcome back.

Eriola?

Don't tell me that's your man...

Is that your man?

How!

How did your paths cross?

Where did you meet such a person.

You are not supposed to be seen with such a hooligan!

You are not to be seen with such an animal.

What do you have in common?

What is going on?

You are not to be seen with this animal!

Ok... What exactly is going on?

What happened?

What changed you?

Were you threatened?

Are you under any kind of undue influence?

Is this the class of human you should be seen with?

You are above this!

Eri.

Eriola?

Yes.

Look...

I am not sure of a lot,

but I promise you I will send letters to you from time to time.

The problem will be you not writing back.

I will surely do that. I will reply all your letters.

You know you mean so much to me.

- I will. - I know.

We will no longer see each other as often as we used to.

I'm going far away to the United States.

- I would miss you. - I will miss you too.

Don't follow the notion that says nearest is dearest.

When I am gone, do not leave me for someone else on campus.

That won't be fair.

- I am so lucky. - Yes you are.

- I have to be prepared for all eventualities. - How?

You are the one who is traveling abroad,

You will mix with both the affluent and privileged...

and most of all among white people.

You know you are very handsome.

Put your mind at rest.

Only death can separate us.

Nothing else in the world can separate us.

Eriola.

You didn't tell me all these.

It's been long since I spoke with Adefela.

He suddenly stopped sending letters,

and when I wrote to him, he did not reply. I was not sure if he received it or not.

And with my current problems and challenges, how would I have remembered Adefela?

- Does he see it the same way? - That's how I see it.

I'm with you, and I'm sure he will eventually move on, just as I did.

You can't be sure of that.

- That guy... - You worry too much.

And I should worry.

I should worry because I love you.

Eriola, I've made a promise to do whatever it takes to make you happy,

and I'll do it in a moral way, not the way I used to be.

Over my dead body.

Impossible!

I will never allow Eriola to be in the hands of that animal.

I will give it all takes!

I will save her from that animal!

I don't care what it takes.

What are you doing in my house?

Do you want to kill me, after taking my fiancee?

That can't be possible.

Adefela, I am not here to fight. I am only here to explain something to you.

Say whatever it is you want to say.

Please, I beg you in the name of God.

- Leave my life alone. - Your life?

What's wrong with your life?

- Eriola is my life. - Shut the crap man!

What nonsense are you saying? Can you listen to yourself?

Who do you think you are deceiving?

You may think that you are deceiving everyone but you are deceiving yourself.

What do you take me for? I am not a kid.

You!

I know you too well...

There's time for everything.

The way a child behaves is different from how a grownup behaves.

I have turned a new leaf.

A leopard never changes its spots.

I am very sure of that.

Hold on.

Do you think...

When an animal is attack it's prey,

do you think the scream of humans can chase it away?

Do you think that's all it will take?

You? With such bad behavior.

Eriola does not deserve a useless man like you.

Anyway...

If you take a fish out of water, you definitely want it dead.

Why do you want to skin a sheep and leave it in the cold?

Don't take Eriola away from me.

Young man,

listen attentively,

Eriola was not born to suffer.

She's doesn't deserve a struggling man like you.

Do you want to know more?

Her names are Ajoke, Ariyinke, Onike, Kemisola, mine!

Eriola is mine!

Yours right?

A dog cannot challenge a tiger.

You know what that means.

- Ok. - This problem can never be resolved.

Let's start the war and see how it ends.

Alright.

You have got a lot of guts.

You are so confident.

Oyekan?

Oyekan?

Why would you go to Adefela's house to fight him?

I?

Fight Adefela?

I didn't go to fight him.

- I went to plead with him. - Plead with him for what reason?

You didn't need to do that, what for!

- Hold on, are you still seeing him? - Are you surprised?

Eriola, that means I am not safe with you.

To think I had so much trust in you, but yet you deceived me.

- So you and Adefela still meet discretely. - Oh stop!

If not for the circumstance that brought us together,

would we even be in this relationship?

This is not my place! You messed up my life!

I deserve more than this.

Oyekan, I curse the day I met you!

Yes I said it!

Eriola!

Eriola!

People keep trying to outsmart themselves.

Every individual thinks about how to succeed.

But only God's will comes to pass.

Something has gone wrong.

What's wrong?

Tell me.

Why have you given up?

Only death can separate us.

Look,

don't give up, when there is life there is hope.

That I Adefela won't marry you Eriola. God forbid!

It is impossible.

There is a problem

- I am pregnant for Oyekan. - Ha!

Why?

Eriola! Why would you be pregnant for him?

Why would you be pregnant for him?

That simply means you don't love me.

Look into my eyes.

Did you ever love me?

I did love you.

But love is unpredictable.

Love can come from anywhere.

Love found me in my moment of trouble...

Without giving me a way out.

I fell in love with Oyekan. This is my situation.

Alright.

It's okay babe.

It is not the end.

Look...

We are in this together.

I am ready to marry you with this pregnancy.

I am ready to marry you as you are.

Eriola!

Eriola!

Eriola!

I can't find her.

She's suppose to be home and I have looked every where for her, Eriola is missing.

I can't find any traces of her.

Boss, this is a simple case.

You were threatened yesterday, Eriola disappeared today.

Let's not pretend we do not know who is behind this.

What sort of nonsense are you saying?

Go straight to the point. Speak up.

You told us she is his first love. Isn't that so?

You know he has a point...

Boss, should I come with you?

Hey!

- This is where it ends for you. - What's wrong?

- Where is my wife? - What?

Bring her out or I will blow out your brains in three seconds.

- One! - Be patient.

- Two! - Be patient.

Please calm down.

Calm down!

I don't know where Eriola is.

I don't know anything.

Yes, I tried to take her away from you but then...

I realized there is no sense in stooping so low.

- I have accepted my fate. - Did you?

- I have accepted my fate. - You are lying.

You didn't accept your fate.

You called me unfortunate.

Adefela, except you want to lie about it...

- You kidnapped my pregnant wife. - No!

I didn't... God is my witness.

I can't possibly plan the downfall of Eriola.

I don't know where Eriola is.

I don't know anything about her whereabout. I can't have her.

I don't know anything.

Please...

Don't drive me insane. Have mercy on me.

- Take the gun. - What?

- Just kill me. - God forbid.

- Just take me out of this world. - No!

Without Eriola, my life is meaningless.

- No. - Just kill me.

- Take me out of this world. - No!

- Kill me! - No!

Kill me!

I can never kill anyone.

I don't know where she is.

I don't know her whereabout.

I don't know where she is.

I can't have her.

Please.

Be patient.

Eriola will be found.

She is God's child.

He won't let her be kidnapped.

She's traceable.

She can't be lost.

We will surely find her.

Please be patient.

Could she have gone back home?

Ok.

I don't know.

Where are you packing your belongings to?

I can move to wherever I want Daddy.

So you are also leaving my home?

- No problem. - Ha!

What a pity.

I wish our mother was still alive,

it would have been easy for her to answer my questions.

Ha!

Mopelola Abebi.

A good mother who loved all her children,

I would have asked her if you are truly our biological father.

- Ha! - Yes!

Being too principled can become wickedness,

and it has become so for you.

It is not proper to cut down a good fruitful tree because it produced sour fruits for once.

Daddy, we are all humans, and no one is perfect.

You have also made a mistake by not forgiving those who have offended you.

My sister, Eriola has been kidnapped once again.

Yes, she has been kidnapped and no one knows her whereabout.

Eriola the privileged one has now become the missing one.

Death ruined everything... If our mother was still alive...

Would she sit and watch in anger all her labour get destroyed?

Just accept it, you no longer have any children.

You can bring home your chickens and make them your children.

Until I see my sister, and she's forgiven that is when we both will come back to this house.

Pipe!

Mopelola my wife,

This was not intentional,

I was forced to act the way I did.

Eriola...

Eriola decided to be stubborn.

Eriola...

Pipeola...

You shouldn't have treated me like this.

I am not a wicked father.

Where can Eriola be?

What sort of question is this? We all don't know where she is,

but I have a feeling she may be with that guy who just returned from abroad.

I get but...

There is a possibility Felix and Gbenga know something about this.

That's possible.

Let's all calm down.

Be calm, so we can understand each other.

We are not here to fight or stir up trouble,

But there would be problems if you guys do not adhere to instructions.

We are only here to deliver a message to you today.

Which one of you will receive it?

It's better you all listen.

Did you all hear me? It's better you all listen.

- Eriola is with us. - Eriola?

You have 48hours to do the needful. If you do not, the consequences will be severe.

Your time starts now.

If I read this before they left I would have dealt with them mercilessly.

It's not too late, let's go after them.

We will go them prepared.

It was Felix and Gbenga all along.

And they have given us 48hours to surrender ourselves, or they kill Eriola.

When does the 48hours start counting?

They dropped the letter at 5:30 pm.

Wait a minuite... I don't get it.

What is 5:30 about?

What exactly is going on?

We need to be patient.

What patience?

We are being threatened in country with laws.

This calls for some patience, so we can strategize.

- What silly strategy? - I need silence!

Please.

I need to think.

Oyekan.

Let's report this to the Police and let them handle the situation.

These are not ordinary people.

They are not ordinary people.

They are not scared of the police or the law.

Only a policeman with a death wish would face them.

They are deadly.

But we can't just stand and watch, we need to do something.

- Guys? - Yea.

I made a decision to leave cultist...

but how do I rescue Eriola without being one?

They have called for war and we must take it to them.

If we strategize, we will outsmart them.

That's right, but what if we don't get them?

- How did it go? - We didn't find them at the location.

Damn!

Where can they possibly be?

Guys come on!

Can we track them using the letter?

First problem is that the letter has no return address.

We can't track them with it.

Okay.

Alright, I'll be back.

Boss, you can't go alone. Let's go with you.

- We are in this together. - Yes.

- We are right behind you. - Yes, we've got your back.

We'll fight this together.

Oyekan refused to show up, right?

But you only have two hours left.

If I don't see Oyekan here in two hours,

I will stab you mercilessly.

She thinks I'm joking.

Stay in the car and be on the look out.

Okay.

If anything goes wrong, let Eriola know I love her.

Nothing will go wrong.

Guys, there's trouble. We have unwanted visitors.

Go, go, go, go! Move, move!

Get ammunition.

Are you feeling better?

Sorry Oyekan.

Thank you very much.

May God grant you speedy recovery.

Oyekan,

I can see that Eriola is your turning point.

You need her more than I do.

She's your hope.

And I know your love for her is genuine.

You're a good man.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, but...

There's something that I need to do.

I have to go back to school and earn my certificate,

that will make me truly happy.

I'll do what I can to make sure that you achieve your aim.

- I love you. - I love you too.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Eriola.

Please forgive me.

It was all for your good. Look at you now.

I am sorry, please forgive me.

Forgive me.

Congratulations.

Can you see this has become a moment to celebrate?
