[bunniefuu]

You knew the consequences of your actions

and your inactions.

The wages of sin death.

I can only give the things that I have.

Mercy isn't one of them, Ajazi.

Please, Nene.

Just give me more time.

Why are you asking for time,

when you still have it?

It's just a few months left.

You have had five years.

Did I ever disturb you?

Pay me what you owe me.

And before your time expires.

You knew the consequences.

Yeah.

Tell me we're closing.

Well, yes and no.

ErrI understand the no but

I don't understand the yes.

I want us to go out for dinner.

Now, somewhere quiet.

And I'm not taking no for an answer.

I had plans though.

Okay, tell me.

There is this new girl I was supposed

to have dinner with.

She came to the showroom, actually.

Well, tell her that the owner

of the showroom,

who happens to be your boss needs you.

Yes, sir.

I told him, money for hand,

back for ground.

No time.

I'm not working on credit for nobody.

What's wrong?

How long have you been with me?

Four years going on five.

And you remember what I told you

the first day I gave you this job?

Yes.

You said you wanted me to be your protégé

and grow to become as successful as you.

So, in four years, have you done

any kind of self-appraisal?

Well, I meanyeah

I have. You started me off on 250k.

Now, it's quadruple that amount.

I got myself a car.

Andyeah, I have my holiday package.

And compared to where

I was staying before,

I consider my three bedroom a mansion.

So you consider your salary as growth.

You forget that you earn what

you earn only because

I let you manage three of my businesses.

Have you ever heard the term "birds

of the same feather flock together"?

Yes, boss.

From the last five years, do you think

that we share any similarities?

Are you about to fire me?

You think too small, Yo.

You know, I have given you enough time.

Enough time for you to take

the world by storm.

But you obviously can't.

-Sir!

-Sir!

Is the planned low cost housing project

a public private partnership

between the federal government and you,

Chief Obi?

It is a public-private partnership between

the federal government and my company.

But sir you are the head

of the company sir?

I don't run the company.

My daughters here

and a reliable team of

experts run the company.

Yes, yes, errThe company is my vision

and they run with it.

Okay sir. Many have raised questions

about the bid process.

And it's believed that other companies

that bid for it have more pedigree,

but you won it.

Do you have a response to that sir?

That should be a question

for the government.

That's a very good question.

It was a completely open bid.

And we believe our company

was as qualified as

any other company that entered

into the bidding process.

Now, let's not forget

that the federal government

wanted to go with a hundred percent

indigenous company.

After all, local content is key.

Well, she's not the federal government.

Still go ask the government.

Mrs. Nkem Wemina,

as the first daughter of Chief Obi,

do you intend to continue in the

line as a real estate mogul,

or do you want to toe your line

and go into politics full time?

I'm a woman, who like most people, can

do two or more things at the same time.

And being in politics is borne out

of my will to serve my people.

So whatever becomes the top priority,

only the future would tell.

-Thank you.

-Your daughter here

She describes herself as a party

animal and she always tries to

Hold it there, young man. Hold it, there.

Today is about a big big project.

We are embarking on

with the federal government, providing

more housing for Nigerians.

Let's keep it at that.

Thank you very much.

-Sir!

-Sir!

Come to the house!

Yes, sir.

-Daddy, I have an appointment though.

-I said come to the house!

Daddy, I have an appointment now.

Cancel that appointment

and come to the house.

Daddy, it's urgent! Please now.

Daddy, please

It's a wax appoint

Yes, sir.

Daddy! Daddy, I'm here.

My chief. I'm here, Daddy.

Please don't be angry.

I had to stop and get something.

Daddy! Sorry. I'm coming. I'm coming.

Daddy!

Dad!

Daddy, are you going to

say something or like

Oh yeah

-Who are you calling Daddy?

-Ah!

Well?

Call me Chief Obi.

It's this Daddy thing that makes

you think you're still a child,

not to give me grandchildren.

Daddysorry, Chief.

I am still single.

You know I'm just a baby girl.

It's Nkem that you should be facing

with all these. Not me.

This one that married a eunuch!

She would get a divorce and marry again.

Daddy, that's not a nice thing

to say to your daughter.

I'm saying it about her husband.

The man has no liquid in his loins.

And this one, you!

You've chosen to be wayward.

-Daddy, are you calling me this one?

-Is it me you're calling Daddy?

Sorry Chief,

is it me you're calling this one?

Ijeoma! I don't have a problem

with your waywardness.

Can you use it to get pregnant?

Just give me grandchildren.

Since your mother couldn't

give me a male seed

According to science,

that's your fault, Daddy

Don't bring in that science thing here.

You people should give me grandchildren.

Married, single, just get pregnant!

The last two Christmas

I couldn't enjoy it in the village!

My friends were parading their

grandchildren with all amounts of joy.

I sat in one corner, laughing like

a he-goat. You people think it's funny.

Will it help your fertility?

Daddy, I've already told you guys that

marriage thing is not really for me.

So when the time is right, it's Nkem that

will give you guys grandchildren.

Don't worry.

You. People think this is all a huge joke

what I'm saying.

I'm dying soon.

Ah, God forbid, Daddy!

I'm an old man.

Forget how much you think I'm fit.

This is all dye. Look at my hair.

It's all dye. Color.

One day

Daddy

You would just wake up and find out

that I have willed all my wealth

to your cousin's children.

After all, their last names are Obi.

But Daddy, that doesn't even make sense

because even if we do have children

Their last names are not going to be Obi.

So

Let your mother just return from

abroad and handle these things.

But, I warn you.

No grandchildren, no inheritance.

No inheritance without my grandchildren.

You've been so quiet.

What's wrong with you?

So that he can insult me more?

I'll soon leave this country for them.

Politician that wants to japá.

Please, stop it.

Well, if I get an ambassadorial

appointment

Whatever! Let's go shopping

to ease the pain.

IJ, no please.

Stop being a miser. Let's go!

No, no, no, no.

Sorry. Please don't make me make excuses.

Because you'd be lying.

I won't be lying but you

wouldn't believe me.

Hi, my name is Yo.

-Nkem.

-Nkem is my sister.

If I knew you had such a beautiful sister,

I would have ordered two of the same sofa

you requested.

It arrives in two days.

When you see that sofa, you see you.

Don't mind him. He's trying

to sell his market.

But the cute part is true though.

You are a beautiful human being.

-Thank you.

-Focus Yo.

Looks like you're about to start flirting.

I'm not.

Let me get you guys something to drink.

Water?

-That's fine.

-Okay. Water, it is.

Why do I have the feeling you're

sleeping with this guy?

Because you're my blood sister, duh.

IJ!

I know. Stop switching men like diapers,

even though they are full of sh*t.

But I mean,

this guy's into interior design.

I'm hoping that he can design

my interiors.

How does he feel about you, though?

Who knows? Don't give a damn

That's his father's business.

I think he's in love. I don't care.

You're about to break another man's

heart in less than six months.

Yeah. He's in the business of decorating

and redecorating. He'll be fine.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Here we go.

Oh!

Wouldn't you like to buy something?

I have good deals to

Yeah I came to see your new stuff and you

don't have them yet. Call me when you do.

Bye.

Oh wow!

-Thank you.

-Yes, sir.

You sounded like it was quite

urgent on the phone.

Looking at you

You still look like it's urgent.

Yes. Trust me, it's urgent!

So last night, I'm watching the news.

Who do I see?

The girl I'm currently knacking.

You understand? She's on TV.

Turns out her Pops is a big deal.

He has a contract with

the federal government

to build low cost houses in thousands.

That's where we come in. I'm watching it,

I'm like, we can approach the man

through his daughter

and bid for a contract

to do the furnishing of these houses.

I mean, sparse furnishing.

This is a deal that will

run into billions, Boss.

I took the liberty to print all these out.

We have to act fast.

So that nobody beats us to it.

It's on top.

-I see.

-Right.

-For real?

-Yes, sir.

So apart from the p*ssy that you're

getting from her, what's in there for you?

My ten percent, of course!

Bro, this is billions on the table.

Billions.

You're the one who said I should work

harder, aim higher, dream bigger.

So, let's go for this.

I mean, I can keep this relationship going

until we get in there,

get the money and get out.

Easy-peasy.

You see this?

This right here?

Litter.

Rubbish!

I meanI could have sent it to your

email but I wanted to be elaborate.

That's why I printed it to show you.

I promised I was going to help you,

you know.

But you

You are just going about

this thing the very wrong way.

You see these guys

These are big players, you know?

You don't even understand the league that

these guys are playing.

And that's where I'm gradually

trying to take you.

I can make you a billionaire, you know.

In a very short time.

When I say short time, I'm talkingyou

know, like this year.

Yeah, I can make you a billionaire

this year.

I like you, Yo.

You know

I want to take you on a financial journey.

I will take you

on a psychological journey.

You see, by the time

that you understand these realms

You will know that these things

is not by proposals.

Okay. Cool.

So when do we start?

Because quite frankly,

I don't know what to do anymore?

You're the one who says aim higher.

And for every move I make,

it seems I'm taking two,

three steps backwards.

SoI meanI'm ready. When do we start?

Patience, man.

Patience.

Patience.

What did you do with the money

I wired into your account?

Oh, I uhm

I actually wanted to do some shopping

for this chick yesterday.

I want to get her a few things. You know.

I mean you have enough money at your

disposal to get her a Cartier bracelet.

So, buy her a Cartier bracelet.

Okay. I'll add it to the cart.

Yeah, that's how much

a Cartier bracelet costs.

Wow!

I want to deliberately

intentionally teach you

how to become rich.

I'm going to have to do it by force

because if you cannot look out

for yourself,

I am determined to look out for you.

The only thing that can stop

me right now is you.

So I guess the question would be,

Yoshua

do you want to get rich or not?

Because getting rich is not difficult.

Staying rich

That's where the work is.

So let's get started! I'm ready.

I'm ready.

Ijeoma Obi.

Where are you?

Anytime you ask that question,

it only means one thing.

I'm glad you're getting to know me better.

Well listen, I'm wearing lingerie

and it's lace and it's red.

I'm at my short-let.

You have several short-let apartments.

The one of the last time.

I will get home first and

take a quick shower.

Hurry up.

I'm going out. I have a meeting with

some government functionaries

who are trying to get me a federal

appointment in the next dispensation.

Hey Yo!

Catch me if you can.

Dennis, I said I'm going

Dennis.

-Dennis

-I heard you!

You don't have to shout like that.

You're crazy.

You know that yeah?

You're a very good liar.

Very good.

This time, I want the truth.

Oh!

What is this doing in your closet?

No, no. You are about to lie Nkem.

What is this doing in your closet?

You know you're such a terrible person.

All these while you insisted that I was

the reason that it was my fault.

When it was you that was eating

up all of my children!

Ah!

Why?

Because of some political ambition?

I'm going to k*ll you.

Ah!

Nkem.

IJ, IJ Dennis!

Wait, wait!

Where do you think you're going?

Where do you think you're going to?

Shhh

Bring the knife.

Bring the knife!

Your sister is a k*ller!

f*ck!

She k*lled my kids!

Yes! f*ck you! b*stard!

p*ssy! f*ck you!

Idiot!

You big, d*ck head!
