Oh God, save my daughter from every demonic spirit.
Any family member from my father’s house,
from my mother’s house, that is saying that we will not make heaven,
let them die by fire.
Let them die by fire. Let them die by fire.
I say die by fire, die by fire.
Any family member that says we will not make heaven,
let them die by fire.
God. Lord. Oh Lord.
Tarela, why do you want my enemies to laugh at me?
Why do you choose to bring shame to this family?
After everything that God has done for us,
this is how you want to thank him.
Why?
What would people say when they hear?
Oh God.
Mummy where were those people,
when we didn’t have food in this house?
And we were hungry, nothing to eat.
Where were they when we were drinking garri everyday,
while we prayed for rice?
I don’t care what they say.
They can say anything, I don’t care.
Tarela so because of money you want to dance naked?
This is not how I raised you.
Lord have your way. Oh Lord have your way.
Have your way Lord.
Now look here young lady,
you are not going back there.
As long as you are living in this house,
I will not allow you to do the devil’s work.
Walking around with pant and bra.
God forbid. Never.
I will never allow it.
Mummy everything I have done is for this family.
What have you done for us?
Darkness and light can never mix.
Do you hear me? It can never mix.
God, oh Lord, Father Lord,
take this shame from my door.
Take this shame from my door.
Take this shame from my door Lord, take this shame.
Tare.
I know it was you.
You are the one who brought my mother to the club.
You can’t deny it Edesiri.
And so?
Yes, I called her to the club.
You can’t keep lying to yourself
and everyone pretending to be a good girl when we are exactly the same.
You are a snake. And to think you were my friend.
Please! I thought you were my friend.
I helped you. I cut cake for you.
And what did you do? You took the whole bakery
What are you talking about?
I have always had your best interest at heart
But you’ve been sabotaging me Edesiri.
See small Tarela of yesterday. Miss righteousness.
After everything, did you nor end up at the same strip club?
You are just as scarred and damaged. Just like the rest of us.
I never said I was perfect you fool.
I have flaws.
But you? Even maggots are better than you.
Are you done?
Get out of my house.
Tarela, get out of my house.
Move me.
Do you want to fight?
Leave my face.
Let’s go please.
Mad girl.
Let’s pass this gate.
She thinks I have her time.
Nonsense.
Tarela.
Mummy. What is it?
Good morning ma.
Pastor good morning.
Sister Tarela.
Your mother told me a very shocking news.
I know you to be a very good girl.
And I know you to always do the right thing,
which is why you must turn away from this wayward path
that you are on.
For the wages of sin is death.
I don’t have to do this.
Sister Tarela.
Tarela where are you going to?
I know that you think you know what you are doing.
Pastor.
But the devil is deceiving you, he is deceiving you.
For the word of God says the devil has come to kill,
to steal and to destroy.
The devil cannot destroy you.
What have I done wrong?
This is not a time to cry.
Tears will not solve anything.
You have been too gentle sister Ebiere.
The devil is trying to destroy your home.
And we must pray to spoil and stop his plans.
Amen amen.
Pray with me.
Oh father Lord, thank you.
I’ve been meaning to ask, what are your genotypes?
AS
Do you know the medical implication of two AS getting married?
We are not the first christian AS couple,
neither will we be the last.
As long as we have faith, God will give us healthy children.
Please I need fresh air.
Excuse me.
Hallelujah.
As it is...
Tiwa, how are you?
Remi.
Good afternoon sir.
How are you?
Fine. Thank you sir
How was the counseling?
It was good sir.
I wish I could stay but I have some errands to run.
Okay, that’s okay, I will see you later.
Alright sir. Tiwa, I’ll call you.
Tiwa, I and Elder Kola are having a discussion
about the revelation he got from God.
About us reaching out to these clubs where you have girls
dancing indecently, immorally.
Pastor, strip club.
Yes, strip clubs.
You see, he said something which I totally concur.
We need to reach out to those people
and we have to involve the youths.
The youths.
They can relate with you people more than they will relate to us.
I think we have to work towards that and
we have to win those souls for Christ.
Hallelujah.
So I will leave both of you now
to plan on it and work this thing out.
You understand. I'll leave you too.
You can handle the whole thing.
Good afternoon pastor.
Good afternoon.
Pastor Naomi, how are you?
I’ve been meaning to see you since.
Last time we....
What’s your problem?
Young girls should not play with fire.
You know I still have the video right?
Tiwa expose it.
My wife will only get upset, she will not leave.
And with a little donations to the church account,
everything will be swept under the rug.
Come on baby.
What do you want?
Good.
A night with you.
Excuse you.
You didn’t hear me?
A night with you and I.
I’ll rather have my whole world burn.
I pity you.
You are a small girl playing with fire.
You will meet me.
This morning if you are mad let me know.
Halima, why are you calling me?
I am pregnant.
Pregnant for who?
What kind of stupid question is that?
For you of course.
Are you normal?
It was just one time.
It was one time?
Are you okay?
It was one time, when you refused to use a condom.
I’ll call you back, I said I’ll call you back.
Foolish.
Who is this now?
I have told you to stop calling me. I am not with your stupid friend.
Daddy.
Daddy I want to talk to you about something.
I am listening.
Daddy I cannot marry Remi.
What did you say?
I can’t marry Remi.
Why?
Daddy I don’t love him.
Love is a choice. You will learn.
I don’t think so.
Not the way a woman is suppose to love the person
she wants to spend the rest of her life with.
If I marry him, I will hate him.
What’s the difference between the both of you?
You are both Christians.
You are educated, he is.
Both of you are young.
From a very good home. So what else? What else?
Daddy I can’t marry Remi,
he doesn’t respect my opinions.
He is AS and I am AS and he still thinks
God is going to give us healthy children.
And he is right.
Modern medicine.
Daddy I cannot marry Remi.
I’m not even ready to get married.
I just want to do music full time.
And I’m not talking about gospel music.
No daughter of mine will sing songs to win souls for the devil.
Daddy.
Shut up.
You will marry Remi, you will help him.
You will assist in the choir and you will win souls for God
and don’t you ever talk about this again.
Hello.
Tiwa how are you?
I thought you were still mad at me.
I was. I’m sorry. I will apologize in person
I’m coming over.
Guy you are not saying anything.
This girl says she is pregnant.
Do you know?
You are the biggest,
You, fool, this is a fool.
You are a great fool.
How in the fucking world would you meet a girl once
and have fucking sex with a complete stranger,
a stripper for that matter without a condom.
Guy now is not the time for this.
I need a solution right now.
Oh no no no no no, now is exactly the time for me to let you know,
how big of an idiot you are.
Are you a connoisseur of diseases?
Tell me, you like gonorrhea, HIV, you like syphilis.
Stop.
Why? You don’t like all those things?
Tell me?
How in the world would you meet a stranger and go raw dog?
You couldn’t even strap up. You went raw dog
What the fuck man?
Do you know how many guys she fucks in a day,
what’s wrong with you.
I know I messed up okay?
I messed up big time but guy we need a solution.
Oh you speak french?
We we we, no fucking together.
No we didn’t do any of that, no no no.
There’s no solution for this. It’s up to you.
Guy stop.
Wait. You are quick to anger.
I should call her?
Call her. I’ll solve it.
You are sure?
I am your guy. Call her.
See Tiwa, I’m really sorry about the other day,
I was just surprised, okay?
I’m sorry, I overreacted.
I understand. Sorry too.
You sure?
But wait, come to think of it,
Don’t you think you are too young to be getting married?
Will your dad allow you call it off at some point?
I don’t think so.
As far as he is concerned, he made a good choice.
All I know is I don’t want to marry Remi.
But Tiwa, you know I really like you,
do you think there is a chance for us?
I don’t know Mide, I mean, I can’t even resolve this.
I just don’t know.
This is fucked up.
Yea.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I closed from work, I decided to come see you
and I got you food.
There is no kpomo in it.
I know how much you don’t like kpomo.
You shouldn’t have done that.
Thank you but no need.
Tarela I miss you.
I really don’t care that you were with somebody else.
It doesn’t matter.
I just want my baby back.
Please.
We broke up for a reason Kelechi.
The reason will always be here.
Let’s just move on.
Are you still single?
Yea, I am single and I want to be single for a while.
Are you still sleeping with him?
It doesn’t matter.
What do you mean? It doesn’t matter?
I know you broke up with me because of him and I,
I know it
The reason we broke up is because of us.
It has nothing to do with anyone else.
Do you understand?
I still love you.
Kelechi, that’s your problem, cause me I don’t want this anymore.
I have to go back to work.
What is he doing here?
Don’t forget, this is not your house.
You are not in the position to ask what is who doing here okay?
Excuse me?
We are gathered here today ladies and gentlemen.
Or lady and gentleman to decide who is pregnant and who is not.
And I say you are not pregnant.
I hate you so much.
Why? What did I do?
If you are pregnant, do you know what we would do?
Let me tell you what we would do.
We would go to my family doctor today.
And who are you to tell me...
To determine the age of the kid in your belly.
You must be very very,
you must be very very stupid for telling me to tell you the age.
Oh no Halima, I’m not stupid.
Age of what?
Please I’m pregnant.
Halima let's do something.
You are not pregnant.
I don't know this guy from anywhere.
You know what you can do?
Give me your, what’s it called? Your test result.
You have it right?
Who are you?
Can we see it?
If you say anything, I will slap you.
I promise you.
Give me your result.
Let me see it.
You are very very stupid for saying that.
I don’t blame you.
Can I see it . Can I see it?
I am pregnant, I need money for abortion.
That’s what I need.
And to imagine I sprayed you my money. Let me see.
Guy she is pregnant.
See, any word from your mouth.
Take this from me.
Take it from her.
Let me see.
That’s what you get for fucking around without condoms,
you are a mother sucker.
Give me this thing.
Guy she is pregnant.
Sit the fuck down.
Leave him alone and give me the money.
What’s your problem?
My guy this babe is not pregnant.
Let me tell you something.
I’ll give you N700k if we go to my family doctor today
and we determine that you are pregnant.
I have my own doctor.
And if you are not, I promise you that I don’t give a fuck
if you are a woman,
I’ll fuck you up.
Fuck me up, who are you to fuck me up.
Get the fuck out.
You are very stupid.
You are not pregnant.
Look at your home.
Halima you are not pregnant.
Rubbish home.
Halima you are not pregnant.
Get the fuck out.
Motherfucker.
Guy that’s how I would have...
Shut the fuck up bitch.
My guy this shit is so funny.
Wait wait wait.
Overfeeding, great.
Who is that?
Don’t worry I’ll go check.
Thanks.
By the way, this is not chicken from China.
Mide.
Yea.
Fuck.
Mr Mide, you are under arrest for obtaining money by false pretense
which contravenes section 419 of the criminal code.
Tarela.
Please have you heard from Tiwa?
Nope.
But it’s quite still early, so I’m sure she will be here soon.
I heard your mother came to the club.
Yes, it was a very unpleasant experience.
I know.
How are you? I know how mothers can be.
I’m fine, I’m fine.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t do the accounts anymore
because of what happened, I had to leave early.
It’s fine.
It’s not a problem.
You can do the account tonight.
However, I need a favor from you.
I need to travel for a few days and its urgent, so
I need you to cover for me.
As regards management and the books.
Are you promoting me?
Well, if you do a good job, maybe one of these days.
Yes, yes, yes, I’m in, I’m in.
Imagine my surprise when I got a call from your number
and it was the police calling me to tell me you were arrested.
What is this Tiwalade?
Daddy I’m sorry, I was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
I don’t know what you are turning to.
How does this look? My own daughter
being arrested with yahoo boys, a fraudster.
Daddy I didn’t know he was a fraudster.
So who is this young man and what were you doing in his house?
He is my friend and I was recording some songs.
First, you refuse to marry Remi.
Now this?
Running around with criminals and singing the devil’s music.
Daddy you are not listening to me?
Marrying Remi is a completely different matter.
So you would rather live this dirty life?
Instead of marrying Remi and living a righteous life.
Daddy I’m not living an unholy life.
Shut your mouth Tiwa.
I’m telling you something that is right for you.
I know what is right for me.
I don’t want to marry Remi.
I see.
You are becoming stubborn.
Okay.
You are becoming stubborn.
So you don’t want to see things clearly.
Well, I think when I leave you here for maybe a night,
you will come to terms, and understand
and appreciate the kind of life you’ve been given.
Daddy.
Officer, I will have to go.
Don’t leave me here.
I’ll come back tomorrow and maybe,
hopefully she must have come to her senses
to understand the kind of life she’s been...
Daddy please.
Please sir, let me just make one call.
The person will come now and he will bring something for you.
I swear.
Please sir just one call, one minute.
The person will be here now with bail money.
Please, please, please.
Don’t waste my time.
Go inside.
How did you get my account number?
I have my ways.
Is sending money your way of apologizing?
Well, It’s one way.
I am sorry I didn’t defend you Tare.
And you had to go through all that alone.
I have sorted the whole thing with Kobe
and the other guys, so don’t worry about any trouble
But that’s just on your end.
Everyone still thinks I stole here.
I get that and I wish I could fix that. I am so sorry.
I understand how important reputations are.
I messed up big time and I want to apologize in person.
There is no need for that.
Let me take you out tomorrow.
I’ll like to make it up to you in someways.
Where are we going to?
Come on girl, it’s a surprise.
Okay.
Sir, Is Tiwa alright?
Because she has been acting strange.
Pray for Tiwa.
The devil is circling.
Well if it isn’t my little smooth criminal.
It’s not that funny.
Never did I think I’ll come to jail and bail you out.
Thank you.
That’s alright.
You know I’m your night in shining armor.
Let’s go home, I’ll get you changed up and everything.
What do you mean sir?
As we speak, Tiwa is in the police station.
Jesus.
What happened?
Something about being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
I went there to bail her and she was proving stubborn.
So she will be there until tomorrow.
No sir.
I have a favor to ask.
My friend got arrested too.
Can you please please please try and get him out?
Please?
You are a naughty girl but Kobe will do it for you.
Kobe is kind.
What’s your guy’s name?
Mide.
It’s a guy right?
Yea.
You guys have to tell me what you did.
It’s not that interesting.
Naughty girl.
Two minutes.
Please sir, we can’t let Tiwa spend the night at the station.
Do you know how terrible those places are?
She needs to learn her lesson so she can get back to the right path.
No sir, please, let’s go get her out.
Officer thank you.
This is your guy right?
Yes, Thank you.
Baby are you okay?
I’m fine.
I’m so sorry.
I’m fine.
Are you sure?
Mide I’m fine.
Did anything happen to you?
I’m fine.
I’m so sorry.
I’m fine.
I’ll be outside.
See this is exactly what the devil wants.
An opportunity to strike and cause a divide.
We cannot let out guard down.
Please sir.
I think you are right.
Let’s go get her.
Alright sir.
Thanks bro.
Tiwa, are you coming in?
I’ll meet you inside.
Oh okay.
So is that clown the reason you haven’t been answering my text messages.
or responding to my calls?
So what is he supposed to be? Baby or friend?
Are you jealous?
You are not answering my question Tiwa.
What is he?
Baby of friend?
He’s just a friend.
Really?
Look, thank you so much for helping us out.
Thanks a lot and I know I owe you plenty explanations.
Yea.
It’s just been a lot right now and I’ll talk to you later.
Okay, talk tomorrow.
Definitely, thanks Kobe.
Officer I’m here for my daughter.
Your daughter has left.
Left? Where? What are you saying?
A man came to bail her.
Him and another guy.
Man?
Yes.
Bail my daughter?
It is true.
And another man.
Yes.
What?
Do you know anybody?
My own daughter?
Yes.
Remi, you see what I told you?
Thank you.
Mummy.
For the house?
Have you stopped that useless work?
If I leave the job how are we going to survive?
It is God that provides for us.
Mummy take.
It’s not that useless job.
I’m just glad you could come out.
Me too.
This is so peaceful and so beautiful.
Yes it is.
You know I come out here once in a while to think
and have a bit of perspective about life
So tell me, what are your dreams,
what do you want Tare?
What do you want?
I want you.
Why?
You were right, one night wasn’t enough.
It only fueled this thing between us.
And to answer your question why, I want you.
You are interesting Tare.
And I on the other hand, I’m a greedy man.
And your wedding?
It still holds. It has nothing to do with us.
You want me but you are getting married.
What am I supposed to do with that?
I want you to be mine and mine only.
I will give you everything.
A car, a house, allowance. Just name it.
Even if you want to further your education, I will do that.
You wouldn’t need to work ever again.
Tare all I’m asking is for you to be mine.
You want me to be your mistress.
Exclusively mine.
But that’s the problem though.
Your offer gives you all the power.
It has me at your beck and call.
I hated my life most when I was too powerless to do anything to change it.
I won’t put myself in that position again.
Ever.
You don’t get it Tare.
Don’t you see?
When it comes to us, you hold all the power.
Never doubt that.
Well, just think about it Tare.
But for now, let’s just enjoy the night.
To us.
Everything in me is screaming that you are a mistake.
Tare, I’ll be your best mistake.
It’s not like I don’t want to pay your exact money.
It’s just that the drugs and the money made,
they don’t add up.
A thief in your house
is no business of ours.
Complete my money in three days.
Sure, yea.
For your sake, I shouldn’t have to be here for this same issue.
