01x01 - The Grind

[bunniefuu]

That was quicker than planned.

These days it's always
quicker than you planned.

You've gotten lazy,
you don't try anymore.

Why don't we go again?

This time without condoms and
I promise you will feel me.

It doesn't change anything.

You enjoy yourself, then
I'd be left hanging.

Get off me.

You never can tell till you try.

See, the only people allowed
to f*ck without condoms

are those that can
afford children.

I hate when you are angry,

but then you are fine
when you are angry.

Fine girl.

Leave me alone.

Chocolatey goodness.

I'm not joking with you.

Hey... hey eh eh...

I don't want to be late
for work. I have to go.

Ok .. Let me get you
something for transport.

Please just manage it. They
have not paid me my salary.

I was hoping that they would pay
me this week but they didn't.

Please!

What? what?

Are you still
reading this bible?

Yes.

When I left in the morning
you were reading it.

I am back and you
are still reading it.

Anyway that's not the gossip.

I was at the market and
had finished buying.

Then I decided to get Akara.

Then I saw...

I don't have change.

My Oga, I don't have
change. Where is your money?

Where is my money?

Where is my money?

I don't have change I
have told you before.

I just came out.

Sir, 1000 naira change.

What do you mean 1000?

You know you have money,
you didn't buy a car.

Do not abuse me. What is it?

Your money remians 400.

Since they brought 1000,

You should've waited for
them to get to the bus stop,

then join them together.

You know you have money, you
did not bring out your car.

No problem sir.

Is my money complete?

He will still collect 400.

When we get to the front,
don't give those guys money.

They are mad. I'll show them.

Don't worry.

Leave the road, let me pass.

Have you gotten change?

They will collect 400

Where is my money?

I'll give you the money when
we get to my destination.

Don't you want to pay?

How much is it?

Mama Nkechi was begging
for him not to be k*lled.

Lord have mercy. Was he burned.

We just gathered ourselves and we
returned everything that he stole.

Added from our
pockets and begged the

so that he won't be burned.

Aboki people wanted his hands
cut off That's how they behave.

I'm telling you he
would've been gone by now.

Why does he behave like this? Why
is he always involved in bad thin

I do not know.

He should undergo deliverance.

Inlaw.

Good Afternoon Ma.

Did You say Deliverance?

Yes. That would be the solution.

Deliverance?

Yes, that would be the solution.

This case is far more than deliveranc
Someone who is already a full time cr

He just needs a g*n. And
you are saying deliverance.

Let me tell you.

Is that the kind of person
you think needs deliverance?

Yes. If he doesn't do
deliverance. He will go to hell.

The wages of sin
is death. the bible

Mummy, please calm down.

If he wasn't hungry. He wouldn't
stea Mama Nkechi has six children.

Her husband is a jobless drunk. She
has to sell akara to make ends me

That boy is trying to struggle for hi
The both of you should leave him alon

Wait Tare.

Tare.. Tare.

It's deliverance he
needs. It's deliverance.

Beautiful girl.

Tarela.

Ma.

Why do you enjoy disrespecting
me, especially in public.

The bible says honor your
father and your mother.

Mummy, the truth
isn't disrespect.

People shouldn't have children,
if they can't take care of them.

Hunger is real.

That boy stole and
stealing is a sin.

I don't know why
you enjoy embarrassi

when I speak the word of God.

Tarela, do not let
the devil use you.

Don't let the devil use you.

Why are you not in school?

Go and take a bath,
you are sweating.

Did you sow her school
fees to the church again?

Sometimes I do not
understand you,

Look at the good
widow in the bible,

she sowed her last
bread to the good

and the good lord rewarded her.

I just sowed like
the widow in the bi

Mummy, you are not a widow.

We do not have money. There
is no food in this house.

Her exams start next week. Why
are you gambling with her future.

Do you want her
to end up like me?

God will provide.
God will provide.

Kome baby, my dear, come.

My dear. Don't worry,
your fees will be paid.

Alright? God is in
control. Just have faith.

Okay.

That's my baby.

Do you want any other thing?

What is wrong with you?
Are you mad? Are you crazy?

Tarela.

Come here!

Tarela! How many
times did i call you?

I'm begging you in God's name.

Are you listening?

I'm begging you in God's name.

Don't chase away my customers
with your nasty attitude.

If you are tired of working
here, you can leave.

There are a lot of people
out here looking for work.

Haven't you seen them coming
here to look for work.

I'm begging you in God's name.

Madam,

Today is the 16th and I haven't
been paid for last month.

What's my business
with the date?

Does this look like
a civil servant's

See, I feed from
my sales returns.

I told you earlier
that I'll pay you

Do you hear me? I'm not
owing you for six months.

Even the federal government owes but
I'm not owing you six months sala

Do you hear me?

Am I the one you
are frowning at?

Come here.

Am I the one you
are frowning at?

Get me a bottle of
beer so I can cool off.

You are misbehaving.

Your brain isn't
functioning properly

Ah, Tarela my wife, my love,
I have been looking for you.

Where have you been?

Why are you looking for me?

Ah Ah!

Why are you talking like that?

Do you have
something to tell me?

Or do you want to keep disturbing
my ears like a mosquito?

Ah.. What's happening?
Your mouth isn't good.

Beautiful lady without tact.

Calm down. It hasn't
gotten to that.

You are disturbing me. Will you
leave the way so I can pass?

You are behaving like
someone who is possessed.

What is it?

Well, the landlord came here looking
you all but none of you was home.

I will call him. Thank you.

Wait.

When are you going to pay the man,
the man has done his best for you all

It's been three years since
you have been owing him.

Try to settle your bill.

Do you understand?

Not minding your business

is going to make
you poor forever.

You mind your business right?

Where is your G wagon?

Where is your house
in Banana Island?

What is wrong?

You can go now.

You are behaving like
you are deaf and dumb.

Is this the time

You know that I told you
I had several expenses and

this new month is already endind and
haven't still paid me last month sala

I need the money.
I need it urgently.

Listen, If you know my expenses
you will leave your money for me.

You will see that yours is
smaller compared to mine.

I have told you I'm not sure your
head is functioning properly.

I have told you, I
do not have money.

This one has been allocated
for something else.

Remove your eyes from it.

I will pay you.

Those boys always groping
you, do they do it for free?

Do they not pay you?

Go get me a bottle
of beer quickly.

I said go get me another beer

Do I not have the right
to drink in my own shop?

Mr. Shola, I will
be with you shortly.

Give me a few minutes.

What is the problem?

Madam, I want the ten thousand
naira you owe me for last month.

Did you come to test
your witchcraft powers?

Madam I do not understand.
Is this not money?

Give me the money
that you owe me.

I've been quiet and
you've taken it f

Give me my money.

I'm not sure you're
the one talking.

Madam, I think you are crazy.
Your head is not working.

Are you mad?

Because of this little place
that you you are saying rubbish.

Your mates have clubs
in different places.

Please give me my
money, so I can leave.

Give me my money.

I said give me my money.

Tarela, are you talking to me?

Give me my money. Are you mad?

What is wrong with you?

Jesus.

Fool.

As you are leaving,
don't ever come back.

God punish you. You are mad.

Pidgin

This one you are here visiting.

I miss you.

Babe, What's happening?
Is everyhing ok?

Can't I visit again and buy
roast plantain and fish?

Do they not sell plantain and
fish at Ajah where you live?

Tarela, Tarela.

Tare baby...

How are you?
Wow... another one.

So you have a friend as
beautiful as and we do not know.

That's why they say birds
of a feathe flock together.

If I wasn't in love with you I probab
would've changed my specifications.

Joshua, please bring the
food. I am very hungry.

Ugh.. that guy is so creepy.

Please tell me that is not the
boyfri What's his name again?

Kelechi.

Kelechi.

God forbid! I reject
evil. God forbid.

So, you're capable of rejecting evil
but you are not ready to reject suffe

Or is that not evil?

I'm tired of telling you about this
j Tare, It's for your own good.

Babe, I'm not just comfortable
with the idea of stripping

in front of strange men.

Forget about that. You
are already a good dancer

so it wouldn't be a problem.

All you need is just
a little practic

Babe, it's not the same thing.

What are you afraid of?

I do not want people I do not know
to me anyhow. I don't want it please.

The place where you work, are you
not being touched inappropraitely?

How much does she pay you?

How much do you
make in one night.

Me, I make nothing
less than 80k in o

I do not care if they
touch or grope me anyhow.

I'm being honest with you.

See. You are a fine
girl, you can dan

You can make close
to what I'm making

Babe, did I tell you I have left
that I am no longer working there.

Thank God. Then what
are you waiting for?

Have you met my mother?

If she finds out I'm working in a
clu it's going to be a big problem.

Besides, I do not think
stripping is the right move.

See, the right move to make
is the one that can feed you

and make you alot of money. What
do you want out of this life?

What do I want?

First of all, I want to take
my famil out of this place.

Secondly, I want to take
Kome to a good school.

I want to open a provision
shop for my mother.

Finally, I want to
open a wig shop.

After all that, I want to go back
to school and finish my degree.

So, all these things
you've mentioned

Were you planning to do
them with a 10k salary.

Babe, You're funny.

Did I tell you I was going
to Dubai with my boyfriend?

Babe, you're lucky.
You're very lucky.

I'm not lucky. I am smart.

I want you to fill up my space
until It's just for a short time.

Think of it as an internship.

When I come back, we will
find a club for you to work.

In the meantime, you will make
alot o money to fill your pockets.

Tare, think about it.

Ok I have heard you.

Hmm?

Ok I have heard. I
will think about i

Ok I trust you.

Where is a good spot
for plantain and fish?

At Pastor's birthday, Mama
Bisi kept on disgracing me,

She kept ordering. Rice,
beans... I was so ashamed.

She's a very greedy woman.

But you shouldn't be surprised
beause that's how Bisi eats too.

That's why she is fat.

Mummy.

Well done.

Mr. Joshua, Good Afternoon.

There is nothing good about
this afte Do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Nothing at all. I think you will
respond better to the use of force.

What happened?

You're asking what happened.

Everyone has paid their
electricity b apart from you.

You're delaying and they are about
to disconnect the electricity.

Because you haven't paid.

Don't be angry?

I shouldn't be angry?

I will give it to you.
I will give it to you.

When? Every time
you'll give me.

Anyway, you know you are the
cause of all these things.

It shouldn't look
like I'm angry.

You know you have
a deision to make.

You know if you had
agreed to be my i

I would've settled it.

My love.

Joshua are you mad? Am I the
one you're calling your love

Are you crazy? Am I the one
you're calling your love

I'm mad for your love.

Because of 1200, what's the
reason for this over famil

I'm mad for your love.

Don't ever open your mouth to call
me love again. Do you understand?

Nothing should connect the both of
us this compound. Do you hear me?

Do you hear me? Nonsense.

Because of 1200, I am
your love. You are crazy.

So, you are yelling
at me. I am crazy?

You've called it 'nonsense
1200' and you cannot pay.

This is someone I want to change
her This girl is an ingrate.

If you have agreed
all this while.

I would have taken you from
this place to Banana Island.

Joshua.

Because of 1200, you are mad.

I'm going to bring
the 1200. Fool.

Joshua.

Tell her to be calm.

You talk too much.

Inlaw, this is because of you.

Don't be angry.

This is because of you.

Don't be angry. I told you I
