The perfect marriage
Call it a cliche but breakfast
in bed never fails.
Same goes for a deep tissue foot massage
and memorable conversation
Seriously though, stolen kisses and
long romantic gazes fade away quickly
I am lucky to have him
the glue that holds a couple
together the one that has worked for me
is friendship
because friends know one
another's flaws
and stand by each other
They know the cupboards where
the skeletons are hidden
but carry your secrets to the
grave.
And thats what Dapo and I share.
I would never have reached half
the milestones that I've reached if
Dapo wasn't my best friend
thank you my love for putting
together this surprise
get-together it's not one of my
typically large parties but
everywhere I look I I see the
faces of the people who mean
the most to me
Aaaaw! Whao!
The crown of my head
I love you
and celebration is coming
though. My women in business
grants launches soon we're going
to be screaming that to the
highest heavens.
Happy birthday to me!
Music
Sorry. Sorry. Excuse me. Excuse me.
Hi

edible in that skirt.
Bode!
Let's get back to work

Babe, Ive been calling you.
You know Id be at the gym.
So, the gym is now more important than our
daughter that you had to stay late into the night?
Into the night?
Its just eight. Besides Ive just been
gone a few hours and she was with Comfort.
Comfort?
Yes! Comfort the lady we hired to watch
her when we cant be here.
But we agreed that one of us has to be
home with her at all times.
Well, that is rather impossible because
we both have to work and do other things.
You are not working!
Teni
Ineed to take a shower
What do you mean it's not done?
No, no, no, no, no no no. I hate
excuses. This was a simple assignment.
Well, if you couldn't complete
it you should have said so.
No, no no no no no. No.
Stop stop. You need to fix this
by 10 A M Okay.
Only Call me when you have good news.
Babe, where are you going?
Where are you going?
Anywhere I can get sleep
I see.
So
I'm repulsive now?
I just want to give you
space to make phone calls
Whats really eating you up?
Teniola, you could have made this call
anywhere else in this house.
What's eating me up is my
physiological need for sleep.
So, do you have any
more angry calls to make or can I
just lie down and
you guarantee lights off?
Ha ha! Whats really wrong with you?
Im perfectly fine. You erm
Are you okay?
Im fine.
Awesome! So, can I
sleep in peace?
So I'm the witch that's stealing
your peace? ehn?
Can I go or should I stay?
Yes
Babe, I said I am sorry
I've just been under so much
pressure and I didn't like the
condition Fadeke was in when I
came back
you know Comfort can be a bit
erratic
Do you know the meaning of
erotic?
The business has been taking
care of my daughter for years
it's unstable?
- That's a bit dramatic.
- Yes.
Yes you are.
I love you
I
Love you
very much

My husband
Oladapo Adeyemi Popoola
was a good man.
He was
my friend
my companion
my lover
and my support system
he...
my husband
he always knew how to cheer me
up. Whether it was with a joke
or the foot massage
or a nice meal
he was
kind
thoughtful
so peaceful
He wouldn't want us to cry
because he lived a full life
and I would rather celebrate
that life.
Oladapo
My husband
Rest on.
Until we meet.
Till we meet again

What's up?
Guy I'm so happy to see you

Guy, it is my Clumsiness oh.
Sorry Bode,
Please help me make that normally,
before this woman kills me.
In a bit. Meanwhile, the party outside
looks, a bit unusual, but, I like it.
Honestly, I wanted a weekend getaway at a
resort or, or some Island.
But Teniola Philips Popoola
doesnt do quiet birthdays.
Dapo! Where is the sauce now?! The
chicken is ready! Whats all this?
I'm sorry it's almost ready
Hello
Did you guys fight before?
When are we not fighting?
I thought she only behaves like this at
work? Then Im lucky she is just my boss.
Dont worry, when you get
married you will understand.
Understand what?
That the key to a successful marriage
is to aim to please your partner.
If it is mutual Im fine with that
You dont have any short glasses?
Uncle Bode!
Haa! My Pricess! Haa, you are now a big
girl. I can hardly carry barely carry her!
Got to get back to the gym!
Mum says she wants the sauce NOW!
Tell her to relax. She will get it
soon, ehn?
Okay.
Er! No, no, no! Tell her, tell her its
ready. Tell her its ready now. Okay?
Okay.
Guy Lets start now! Help
me do this thing now. Please
Guy dont rush me now. Relax boy.
You know what? Lets go and do it outside
so she can see us preparing it.
Guy calm down. Relax!
Guy calm down. What is wrong with you?
Relax!
I will do this thing. Is it me that say
you should go and marry ultimate warrior?
She wants to be doing WWE inside your house
Guy!
Guy relax
Guy, who is that?
After I helped you
Hello
Good evening beautiful.
Good evening.
Can you keep a secret?
So, Im planning this prison break.
First we have to escape this party,
then escape this house, then escape
the city and escape the country.
Are you in or out?
Lost in Translation
Yes.
And I'm not joining you on a
prison break.
Why not?
Okay, no. How about we do dinner instead?
Okay. Ocean View
Italian food, soft music.
I guess this is dinner
it is but it will not suffice
Are you usually this forward?
Hmm, usually when I'm trying to miss
out on opportunities
and how's that going for you?
I haven't had an opportunity
till now
Ibiye.
Bode
How about I interest you to
dance? But I must warn you
my dancing isnt very good.
But hopefully,
it will convince you to go to a dinner
date with me.
We'd see.
By the way, lost in translation is a movie
Right. Right.
Can you dance?
I guess so.
I wish you wouldve said you
should step on my shoes but
Youre wearing shoes?
Exactly. And I don't want to
hurt me.
- I still can.
- No no no no!
Okay
this was a great party. I had a
great time. And once again Happy Birthday
Thank you
Make sure you use what I got you
Use your gift tonight. You guys need it.
What gift did he get you?
I havent opened it but he says it
is something to spice up our sex life.
Bode!
What is it?
What is it?
You guys have fun. Okay?
Im out.
- Take care man.
- Alright. Will do.
Drive safe.
Will do.
In conclusion, a logo is more
than a company's sign shape from
a color. It's the seed or
nucleus of everything
a firm represents and that is why we
want to bloom
psychology say blue is the most
relaxing color but it's also a
symbol of excellence and
opportunity which is precisely
what your brand aims to project
and that's it
awesome presentation. But I mean
you already have the job.
What do you think?
Its okay. I think we move
on to the next meeting.
- Sounds good. Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
So, how did I do?
I thought you were fantastic. I mean,
didnt you see the look on their faces?
Sad that Ill get it regardless.
Well,
guy, when you think about it,
nobody really makes it.
In life with sheer determination
hardwork.
Coming from where I'm coming from
nobody really makes it.. But you
on the other hand managed to get
married to the daughter of one
of the richest Nigerian men.
Chief Olanrewaju Samuel Philips. We
are lucky. You should be grateful.
Wait, what was that gift you
got her?
A little something, something to
spice up your bedroom activities.
The day pigs start flying, is the day Ill
tell you about my sex life.
Whats wrong with little BDSM? You know a
little choking here, a little Spah! there umn?
Bode, seems, you wish me dead.
Guy, youll be fine
Yes, I'll have my secretary bring
over the platinum file right away.
All right. Thank you
Hi. How did it go? How did tDapo
do?
The boys good. You know this I know this.
But you keep on giving him so much stress,
I don't know why when you get the contract
anyway
oh, he better
how's the pitch for
dOdibola Properties coming?
Its going very well ma. Err, shall we say
by the end of the week.
Great.
Let's
lets celebrate, Dapo.
Whiskey or scotch.?
No Ma. I cant drink on the clock, maam.
Stop calling me ma
especially when we're alone
you're my boss mom.
And your best friend's wife
I have to get back to work.
I'm your boss. Right?
I'm telling you to have a drink
maybe maybe after working hours
when I'm off the clock I can
come back and have a drink with
you. I have a lot of meetings.
I'll probably need a drink after
that.
Have a good day
Hey! My princess! You are
getting too big for me.
- How was today?
- Fine.
I need to take her now.
Sorry. I cant let you take her.
Why?
Because youre not listed as her
guardian.
But Im her Godfather.
I need to sort out that with her dad. Look,
I need to be on that list.
Ummn, and you seem like a good one. But
I cant let you take her.
It's against school policies
is it also against school policies
for me to get your number?
You can just waltz in here and make
demands
Aunty Ibiye please give
him your Phone number.
Listen to the child.
Good afternoon Mr. Popoola.
Good afternoon
Please give him your number.
At your own risk.
- Ah hah! A disclaimer.
- Guy!
Wait. Your bag.
Oooh! Thank you.
We used to be guys. Used to be.
Okay, but just
One dinner
and well see how things go
from there
okay
but I'll have to warn you
Im a monster if you forced my
hands
can I see the behind?
This is this is it?
I'll take my chances, at least
I'm sure that you can
put me in my place, if need be.
That means Ill call you in French.
But dont google it.
Guy, we have the AWUJO deal in the bag.
We havent got it quite yet. I
only managed to impress them.
Guy what is wrong with you?
And this your cautious sense of optimism.
You and I know that this
deal is in the bag already
Yeah!
Easy man.
Thanks man
Dapo
Teniola Popoolas husband.
Chief Olanrewaju Samuel Philipss daughter.
I am Lanre Adio
it's it's nice to meet you.
I guess I'm famous.
Thank you. This is my friend,
Bode Thomas
Bode Thomas?
Yes
As in Bodethe street! Bode Thomas!
Are you going to w*r or something?
You never know.
Interesting scar you have there.
Domestic accident.
That's what I said.
Catch you guys around, okay
How did you get the wound?
Erm, it happened at home. I cant even
remember whathowhow I got it.
Awww! Guy, youve been holding out on me.
From the bedroom your sex life is
getting better hasn't it?
No wonder! Teni has been different at work.
Her shoulders finally come down.
Before they were like this.
- Are you crazy?
- No guy, real talk.
Has she used the gift on you?
Gift us!
- What I got her.
- Gift us!
Whats wrong with you now?
Guy. Lets go, Lets go, Lets go.
Ha Why?
Ha! Justget you stuff nah.
Hey, guy, just because I didnt drive today
doesnt mean you should come and k*ll me.
I dont want that womans
wahala this night.
You over indulge this woman, I told you
countless times. Easy does it.
Bode, you should get married first now.
Why is it that married people always say these
things. This things you said piss me off
it's very simple. If you have
sex everything goes away
no problems when you
don't have sex there will be problems
Since I got your wife that gift
think about it things are
a lot better
Now her shoulders are
dropping, less stress at home.
Well you know what to test this
in theory you know I do have to
get married and you should keep
driving like this there's a huge
possibility that I might not
live long enough to get married.
Just easy easy easy easy easy
Does this have anything to do
with punching that punching bag
so hard at the gym?
Dapo!
Dapo!
Easy now
Dapo! Dapo! Dapo! Dapo! Dapo!
Daps! Daps! Daps! Daps! Daps!
Whats wrong with you?
What, what type of driving is that?
Are you normal?
Are you crazy?
Are you mad?
Are you crazy?
Are you mad?
Bros. Bros. Bros. Bros.
No, no, wait! wait! wait!
You saw that driving?
- I saw it.
- You saw that mad driving?
I saw it... But please.
He is crazy..Are you crazy?
Please... please
Are you mad?
Did you smoke fuel? Did you smoke fuel?
No please please please we're
very sorry.
You see this guy?
He is not normal and you should just let me
normalise him.
He his driving rough!
In my area.
Are you crazy?
Are you crazy?
He should be dealt with if not for you.
Please
Thanks
Thanks.
Daps!
Daps what is going on?
Did you want me to drive?
Is your husband involved in high
impact sports?
Hmm He spends time at the gym. He
plays football.
No, not that. martial arts kickboxing those
kinds of things
No, I told you he fell down the stairs.
Well, these wounds are not
consistent with the fall.
In fact from the scalp laceration, Im assuming
a blunt force was applied causing the fall.
Excuse me sir please only
families allowed in here
it's okay
what happened
He fell
He fell?
How did he fall?
He'll be fine
He'll be fine.
So this is your idea of a date?
Isn't this food tasty?
Kind of
Ha! You are a very hard woman to please
Ibiye.
Im not.
Well, I mean, k*ller food, k*ller view,
- ocean front
- Hun hun!
Sea breeze, a hint of
Lagos in the background.
Oh wow
Well, that was my plan. It's errm
I have a very unconventional date
something special
you're very good with words.
I should have been poet.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming on this
date with me

I actually thought you were
going to postpone

He is still unconscious.
Well, he is a fighter so, erm
Im sure hell pull through.
Well..What?
I'm actually really really happy
that you agreed to come
on this date with me.
You should be
let's do something else. Let's
take unconventional to the next level
Have you ever heard about
have you ever heard about
salad dancing before?
Wow, yeah, I know that one?
Yes. You know what step on my...
Babe. Can you dance?
I can try
I don't trust you. Step by step on
my shoes
Okay
We..
Yes yes. Yeah, trust me
- It's public
- I know
if you see people running towards us
we run away from them.
Do you really like what you do?
Yes. Yes, I do
Why do you say so?
Haa! Fadeke speaks very highly
of you
and I really like the way you
relate with her. Its pretty cool.
Thank you
Erm, Disclaimer. I really, really
had this morbid dislike for teachers.
Haa!
You must have been one of those bad
boys in school
Haa! Maybe. Maybe not.
But
they punish me every week possible.
The battle line was drawn.
Hummn! So, how has this teacher fared on
your score sheets?
When you grade papers,
is there like a cheat like
What's worse than an F?
I'm just messing with you.
You are really amazing.
Thank you
If you keep staring at me like that we're
going to have an accident and crash.
Erm, By the way, I saw Lost in
Translation.
Hmm

mentioning it.
You are welcome. It's what I do.

I just dont want this night to end.
Why?
Everything going on
Dapo in the hospital
I just needed some positivity
thank you
Anytime.
So
When you say anytime
do you mean like we're gonna
have another date?
Maybe
No.
Let me rephrase
What would it take to have
another date with you?
Thats on you.
Hold on
This seat belt is blocking my...
the signals to my brain
When you say thats on
me, what do you mean?
Guy how far now, what happened?
What does she say happened?
She said that you slipped and fell down
the stairs.
Yes that's
that's what happened
Daps, I mean seriously. What happened
Just promise me
if anything happens to me
you will look after Fadeke
protect her like she's your own.
Dapo was wrong with you?
First of all you know that I love Fadeke
and I already treat her like she's my own
and second of all nothing is going
to happen to you
okay
And Teni is there now, so, shell be fine.
Especially
from Teni
Guy, guy, what are you saying?
Guy, guy, what are you saying?
Dapo talk to me
Dapo!
Dapo! Dapo! Dapo!
Nurse! Nurse!
Nurse!
Oladapo... My husband
Rest on.
Till we meet again
I
I would like to
thank you all for coming on
behalf of myself and
my daughter
Thank you
Fadeke
Fadeke
Fadeke
Fadeke, its me, Uncle Bode.
I'm coming in now
so where are we on the Odibola
project?
We've gotten Branell produce the ads both
radio and..
Video the production should
commence next week and we should
start the online campaign as
well next week
Great job guys
so
Who's handling the Awujo
project?
Hmm its on a hold ma.
Why?
Look
I know that was the project my
husband was handling before he
The show must go on
or would you rather I hold on to your
salaries because my husband d*ed
Ill, Ill get, Ill get on it asap.
Good
thank you
you don't have to back out work
yet.
Okay, just
I can hold the fort while you are not here.
And I can send you daily reports
I'd rather be here than at home.
Everything reminds me of him
You dont have to be strong all the time.
You lost your husband
You should be home.
I can't live without him
you will always have me okay
what about you
you lost your best friend
your brother
Whos consoling you?
Ill be fine.
What are you doing?
I need to get back to work
Thanks you for seeing me, doctor.
Good day Mr. Thomas. Once again,
please, accept my condolences.
Thank you
Lets cut to the chase.
The reason why Im here is so you can shed some
light on what caused the death of my friend
Mr. Thomas. Ive told you. Youre not family
so I cannot share his record with you.
I'm not asking for
his medical history.
Look something
doesn't quite add up here
I mean, who dies from a fall?
Depends on the impacts.
Okay, help me understand
Mr Popoola d*ed of a heart
att*ck.
Internal bleeding cause low
blood pressure and we were not
able to deliver enough blood to meet the
hearts oxygen needs.
But there were cuts and burn marks
on his skin
and misalignments of bones from
previous fractures
the healing pattern shows that the breakage
was recurring.
That could only happen from
things like combat sports or
abuse
abuse have you met the man's wife? Teni.
She is like this tall come on.
His wife will never abuse him
I did not say his wife abused
him but it is possible for the
woman to be the perpetrator of
domestic abuse
Look..
If you are family
I can only advise you to
request an autopsy and gather
more evidence
that's as much as I can say
thank you
we can't sue her based on feelings
assumptions
we need something tangible
evidence witnesses something
like what the doctor said hit
his head before he fell
you know she's a woman of
affluence
so we need to catch her red
handed.
Hey. Hi.
Hi
How have you been?
I'm just so and so.
- How about you?
- I'm fine.
It's a good thing you're looking out
for her.
Are we still meeting up this night?
I totally forgot
can I take a rain check?
Sure, of course. Sure.
Bode?
I understand you feel
responsible for her now.
Always know that I will be here
for you if you need anyone to talk to
Thanks. So maybe I'll take you up
on that, okay?
About tonight I'll let you know
I'll call you.
Take care
I'll make dinner
call this generator lips
Leave it
take Fadeke to her room
Say good night to your uncle Bode.
Are you going in without saying goodnight?
Sleep well, eh.
Good night
if I didn't know any better
I would say she
likes you more than I
Dont tell me that youre jealous.
Thank you for the meal
I have to be on my way
thanks for coming
Good night
goo, good night.
I can swear that you've been
stalking me
so what I do I own a security
outfit so I know these things
open up man.
Open up
sorry about your friend
thank you
what happened to him
he fell
you don't believe that?
I mean that's why you've been
looking for me.
Do you want answers? Yeah.
You think I might have them.
Ive known Teniola for
most part of my adult life.
You see, we were, we were lovers.
Her smile.
Her eyes were enchanting
her touch electrifying
and she smelled
so good
we're desperately in love
inseparable
see, it was madness to be in
love with her but
I just loved her
Why Why didn't we get married?
You see, Teniola
had a, had a dark side
Teniola had a dark side.
An unquenchable rage that just
wouldn't stop, it doesn't stop
until it burns everything
everything in it's sight
I don't I don't blame her at all
she was raised by
a desperate father
desperate father that wanted a
son
and he
did everything like do he was
raising a man
Teniola was raised like a man
in fact harder
I wouldn't have been raised like
that I wouldn't have wanted to
be raised like that
Teni is
Teni is a lover and your worst
enemy in one person
but you you don't
you don't get away from someone
like that except you have
courage and and a lot of money
and
I'm looking at both but even
with that it took me nine damn
years to get away from her
this you left unscathed
but at the gym
you could have said something
What's funny
What's funny
This guy is off the mark!
Unscathed?
Left unscathed.
You never leave unscathed.
What are you doing here?
Really?
You didnt see my calls?
I er. I did, I was
Bode. You stood me up
And you didnt even have the
decency to call to give an
explanation or something.
Well,
I came to confirm that
youve not k*lled yourself.
Or almost not k*lled yourself.
I see you are fine now.
Im going home.
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
I'm sorry okay.
I'm sorry.
Do you have many sorries?
Stop. Stop.
Leave it.
Thank you
Look I'm not
I'm not handling
Dapos death very well
thats all what this is.
Obviously.
This, this, this, this doesnt add up.
I know
It doesnt make sense
Everything will be fine.
Trust me
Its okay.
I met someone that she dated. He has
a scar. If you see it. Its horrible.
Does he have evidence?
Isnt his scar the evidence?
Haba! Bode!
He could have gotten this car
from anywhere
this is why people don't hire
lawyers
Bode?
Without evidence all these are
mere accusations we need to get
our hands on the m*rder w*apon
if it exists
the signs were there I
kept on trying to reach out
I was just not paying attention
How about an autopsy?
It's a step in the right direction
the doctor suggested that
but I'm sure that Teni will fight it
does he not have parents
siblings
His mom is alive.
Its within her right to
request for one.
Ill reach out to her.
Ill let you know.
What you are asking of me is a taboo.
Mummy,
I know but we have to know the truth
about Dapos death.
Hah! Ha. That my sons wife is
the one who b*at him to death?
What will people say? Ha!
Mummy, she has to be pay for what
she has done.
I knew I lost my son the day
he married into that family.
Dapo before that, he
used see me at least once a month,
before I knew it,
he had become so scarce.
Were you not there with him?
You two are like siblings now.
What were you doing.
Where were you when they
b*at Dapo to death?
Where were you... or what happened
Where do I begin these questions?
It's a guilt I'll have to live
with me for the rest of my life
What a pity!
What a pity!
What if she's guilty
I am going to make sure she pays for
it with everything that I have.
Everything
Now, it has got to a head!
You want to exhume Dapos corpse!
Exhume Dapos corpse! Bode, you want to
exhume Dapos corpse!
Bode
You want to exhume Dapos corpse?
I refuse
Leave Dapo alone.
Let him rest
This is the unit that the director
and his team have approved to
sh**t the advert.
Nice.
How many days are they needed
for?
About five days
thats fair.
Can we also get some still
pictures from the sh**t?
Yeah, they will. They'll handle
everything
you know what else we can do in
this unit?
What?
Stop, stop, stop
what?
Can I
I can't Do This
I can't
You know what I like about you,
Bode?
You know exactly
what you want.
And you're not afraid to go
after it
I must especially love the
relationship you have with my daughter.
Did you love him?
Of course I did.
You know, let me rephrase the
question.
Teni, did you k*ll him?
What kind of question that?
It's a very simple question that
deserves a yes or no answer.
Well, how can you ask me that?
I loved to Dapo well with all my
heart
The scars on his body say
different story
Wow.
So Dr. Ogunrinde has been blabbing
about his medical records
well she'll be hearing from my
lawyer
This has nothing to do
the doctor
Dapo told me himself
I... I... Itried to make it work, I tried
anytime she got mad,
I just couldn't tame her
I..Itried but..I tired
Wait. wait..wait.. are you saying
Teni did this to you?
He said that you were abusing
him
brutalizing him for years
I gave you a whip
I gave you a whi...
I just added to your arsenal then?
Do you know that night he was rushing home
to you, he almost d*ed?
But that was enough for you he just
had to die by your hands didn't he?
So what is this
a set up?
What exactly were you hoping to
find?
- All I want is the truth
- the truth?
- At least Fadeke your daughter deserves that.
- Dont you bring my child into this.
Were you thinking about your child when you
took your father away from her?
Were you?
Bode
You know thats not fair.
Whats not fair is you
b*at him, pummelling Dapo
over and over again
Same thing that you did to Lanre.
What did you say
Oh! you thought I wasnt going to find out?
How you almost f*cked up his eye.
See
that's exactly how it starts
Thats the rage that Dapo and Lanre
were talking about.
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Or what?
Or what?
I
I am going to take Fadeke away from you,
if that is the last thing that Ill do.
- No!
- Get your hand off me!
You deserve to die!
You dont deserve any
happiness in your life!
Hello!
Happy birthday to meee!
Happy birthday!
Babe...
Who is it?
Hey, Princes. Its me. Can I come in?
Hey, love.
Hey
Fadeke
Why do you fight all the time?
Erm
erm
Im sorry we just
had a long day at work
and I think were taking
it out on each other.
But were okay. Hmn? Promise.
Did mummy hurt you?
M m me? Nno. Mmum would never hurt me.
Hmn? Now stop crying, enh?
Theres school tomorrow. So, lets
go to bed. Okay?
Hmn?
Good night.
Good night.
I love you.
I love you very much
Daddy!
Fadeke! Bring my phone! Bring my phone!
But you have barely touched your food?
Ill report you to mummy o!
What's going on?
Sweetie you have to finish your
food before ice cream you know this
mommy When can I see daddy?
Soon
today?
No, baby. Its late.
- Tomorrow?
- I said soon!!!
It's all my fault
Come on stop that.
If I hadnt spilled milk on the stairs,
daddy wouldnt have slipped.
After you have to stop stealing
to the milk in the night
it's okay Daddy will be okay
Daddy will be fine, is okay, you eat your
food Daddy will be fine.
I just got a call from the hospital that
her dad is awake so if you would be so kind
of course sure let me get her
Daddy is awake
my well wishes to your family.
Thank you.
Bye dear
Are we still going to buy
the ice cream for daddy?
Well get it on the way.
Aunty Bibiye!
Fadeke and Timileyin are fighting.
What!? Where?
Fight! fight! fight! fight!
Fadeke is very soft spoken and
very cheerful
which is why I got really worried
after her fights in school and
after as I saw her drawings
At first I
I thought it was two male figures
having some sort of disputes.
I did not try to r*pe her.
I would never
I confronted her about Dapos
death, and she att*cked me.
Im a bit confused.
Are we here to talk about my
husbands death or the as*ault.
Eh.. I dont get it. Am I on trial here?
No, you're not on trial. But
everyones testimony seems with
rights or specific event, before
on attire, husbands and demise.
So you noticed a change in my
daughter's behavior.
And you thought it's best to
talk to your boyfriend about it
instead of me.
Her mother
I don't understand. I brought
you into my home. And so now you
have the audacity to suggest how
I should raise my kid
because you're f*cking my husband's
best friend you think you know me?
Don't talk to her like that.
By the way you're fired and I don't
ever want to see you near my child again
mommy's in a meeting presently
and she will be with you shortly okay
Teni. Just say you did it.
I
Picked you and your friend out
of the gutter
I cleaned you up I made you what
you are today
that is what I did
Mrs Popoola we're not we're not
done here
I called for this arbitration
it's happening in my building
you see me leaving and you're
saying that we're not done
Teni?
Just admit it.
Admit what?
Dapo isn't here to speak for
himself
so you've got nothing
She dissolved it herself.
So, what about Dapo?
You can sue her
mommy
I
I... I... I think I k*lled daddy
I told you I told you I wanted
a grand event.
Teniola Philips Popoola, doesn't do
small
but you can never get anything
right
Common, Teni, I just
thought it'd be special for you
to have this close people around
for once.
But why can't you use
your brain for once
big events are where you
network and make deals.
But dont! I have to
do everything myself.
No you understand when you're
lazy
and weak
Would you cover up those ugly arms
Listen to me!
Now look what you made me do
Hold this
Thats what Dapo and I share.
I would never have made it to
half the milestones that I've
reached if my husband wasn't my
best friend
thank you my love for this
surprise get-together it's not
one of my typically large
parties but
everywhere I look I see the
faces of the people who mean
- the most to me
- wow
The crown of my head.
I love you
a celebration is coming though. My
women in business grants
launches soon and we're going to
be screaming that to the highest heavens
Happy birthday to me!
Happy birthday!
Good morning Aunty Ibiye.
- Morning my love how are you?
- Fine.
Good.
Okay. Good morning Mr Popoola
Good morning Miss John. Im
really sorry she is late.
Erm, its fine. Its fine. Er, thank you so much for inviting
me to your wifes birthday party, I had so much fun.
She insisted. And I always do what my
madam tells me to do.
My darling, run along, okay? Erm, here.
Bye Bye
Mr. Popoola
Is there a problem?
Well
I'm sorry. It's not like I'm
intruding or anything I do.
I mean, I don't mean to intrude.
But
Fadeke
her drawings lately have been
strange and confusing.
I thought it best to let you know.
I
I
Guess that means someone's screen
time needs to be cut cut down.
Sir. Kids usually use arts to express
their innermost thoughts and experiences.
See I understand your concern,
but I'm sure
she's just been watching too much
television
alright, I'll talk to her.
Okay then. Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- Have a great day thank you
Alright! Gym prefect! Why did you
wait for me to come and meet me here?
Orbdo you want to stay here?
You got to do what you gotta do man.
How far nah?
Dapo! Dapo! Dapo! Dapo! Dapo! Dapo! Daps!
Whats wrong with you?
Do you want me to drive?
I've been calling you
you knew I'll be at the gym.
So so the gym is more important
than our daughter that you had to
stay late into the night
into the night? It's just eight
Besides, Ive been gone just a few
hours and she was a comfort
comfort
Yes. Comfort that we hired to
watch her when we can be here
well Didn't we agree that one of us
had to be home with her at all times?
Well that's impossible now we
would have to work and do other things
well, I work
what do you mean it's not done?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I hate excuses. This was a
simple assignments.
Yeah well, if you couldn't complete
it, you should have said so.
No, No, No, No
NO NO NO
Stop, stop. You need to fix this
by 10 A M. Okay?
Only call me when you have
good news
Babe, where are you going?
Where are you going?
Anywhere I can get sleep
I see.
So
I'm repulsive now.
I just wanted to give you
space to make your calls
Whats really eating you up?
Because I don't understand
where all of this is coming from
well you could have made your
call anywhere else in this house.
So what's eating me up is my physiological
need for sleep.
Well this is my father's house and
I can make calls wherever I want
Do you have any more angry calls to make
or do you guarantee sleep and light out?
What is wrong with you?
I'm fine. You? Is everything
okay?
I'm fine.
Awesome.
So can I sleep in peace?
So I'm the witch that steals
your peace
Can I stay or should I leave?
Can I come in?
I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry.
It's not about saying you are
sorry
Do you ever think about how your
actions affect me or Fadeke?
I've been under a lot of
pressure
you are always under pressure!
Yes. Because I have a company to
run I have to fend for this
family and I have to support
your career.
Oh yeah? Get it out.
Tell me about how you put me up
in your father's house.
How you clothe me how you feed me how
you buy me gifts.
How you take me on trips I could have only
dreamt of. Is that all?
Should I list more?
Thats not fair!! I am trying my best
and all I ask is that you support me
I do Teni!! I do. I support you at work
I support your home Why don't
you see it
Teni
I'm tired
I'm sorry
I'll
I'll do better.
I'll change
I'll change
I've heard that so many times.
I am trying.
Trying is going to a therapist, to church.
Its actually taking actions to change.
Well I'm not perfect. And
we all have our flaws.
But you do you see the scars of my
flaws on your skin?
Do you?
Please, I, I want to sleep.
Dapo!
Dapo!
Oladapo Adeyemi Popoola!!
You don't walk away from me when
I'm talking to you!
Or what?
Or what!
Daddy!!
Fadeke bring my phone! bring my
phone!
Stolen kisses and long romantic
gazes fade away quickly.
I am lucky to have him.
The glue that holds a couple
together.
The one that has worked for me
Is friendship
because friends know one
another's flaws and stand by
each other. They know the
cupboards where the skeletons
are hidden, but carry your
secrets to their grave
