Maybe you would find out.
Follow me to the back,

I am joking with her?
Why would she talk
to me like that?

Dinma.
I miss you so much.
And we worry about you.
My sister!
Do you ever maybe
have that feeling
Maybe on your way to work
or on your way back home.
If you just kept walking
If you just kept walking maybe you
would find yourself in another place.
I don't mean another state,
but somewhere else.
Somewhere your past
would not haunt you.
Somewhere where,
I could just forget everything.
If I could just be happy.
I am so sorry.
Dinma.
Mummy still cries everyday.
She can't even sleep.
I miss you so much.
So much.
Leave me.

She was the only thing.
You, mummy and everything
about that place.
Everything reminds me of her.

It's all good.
Hey, hey!
Hey, Jubril!

Did you remember to
lock the doors?
After what happened last night?!
Did you tell your friend
we were almost robbed.
What?
Guy, You won't believe
what happened.
I'll tell you in the car.
Bye baby!
Okay.
What happened?
Hmmm.
What happened? Did armed
robbers come here?
Man!
It was more like a burglar though,
like I'm not even going to lie.
I don't even know if the
person was even armed.
I was asleep, a cough woke me and
I realised my throat was dry.
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
For real?
- He said Jesus.
- I promise you my guy!
In the words of Curtis Jackson
A.K.A Fifty Cents.
I've seen n♪♪♪♪♪ get
Religious when they
start bleeding.
Saying Lord Jesus help
me when that ass leaking.
It's not funny.
Oh!
We're here.
Yo, This guy, Man! Today is
going to be a good day. Okay.
We're just going to
finish work quickly.
Get drunk.
And then go for this party
I told you about.
Let's just finish
work real quick.
Erm, There's something
I want to show you.
Just chill, let's finish
up here then...
Okay, I guess I'll
show you later then.
One time.
Have you read it?
Iredia Osagie.
Egberamen,
Eight year old little boy.
He has neuro blastoma.
Stage one.
Widow.
Three Kids.
Barely making ends meet.
Then life saddles her with
this shower of shit.
Wow!
I really hope we
can help this one,
Make a difference or something.
I hope so too.
How is he?
How is his appetite?
No.
I made it this morning.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Is there any news?
Is there any news about
the operation?
That's why we're here?
You know we found out
a short while ago.
We are working as
hard as we can.
Its not easy.
I know.
But I don't want
to lose my child.
Please help me.
He needs this operation.
Mama Iredia.
I'm not going to
sugar coat things.
It's not looking.
It's not looking good right now.
Cancer tends to spread and...
I know.
I know
I know what's wrong
with my child.
I've been told.
I don't need you
to tell me again.
I just need to know
what the plan is.
How do we get him the operation?
We, we...
How do we raise the funds?
We're looking at the timeframe.
The operation costs
Three million.
And we've been able to
raise one million...
- One million three Hundred.
- One point three.
So we need one point seven.
But we've spoken
to the oncologist.
The doctor handling
Iredia's case.
The NGO we work for is in
negotiations with the hospital.
And they've agreed to accept
sixty percent upfront.
They'll start to help while
you find the rest.
Thank God. Thank you.
Thank you.
But there isn't much time.
I don't want to upset
you or anything.
And I know you've tried to raise the
money and even asked family members.
But if there's any other thing you might
be able to do to help raise more funds.
One moment.
They printed these fliers
out at my church.
They also trying to help raise
funds, by creating awareness.
We're hopeful that it might
help raise some more funds.
I'm hopeful that this
might yield something.
You said sixty percent?
- Yes.
- Yes.
As it is now, we need
about five hundred.
Or six hundred thousand
to begin the process.
Okay.
God will answer my prayers.
We can hold on to this?
Yes.
If you want more, I
can give some to you.
It might help.
Okay, Thank you.
Please help me.
Yes ma'am.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for the drink.
- This actually taste horrible,
- I'm not even going to lie.
Yeah
Why did you do that?!
Lookout! Whao!
Guy, are you blind?
Why don't you watch
where you're going?!
Get fuck out of the way!
That's okay, That's okay.
Guy, How long do you think
we've been here for?
Like an hour.
Seems like we've been here
for five hours hours man.
Weed will do that to your
sense of time bro.
Fuck you, okay?
Fuck you.
Funnily enough.
The weed in this neighbourhood
isn't so great.
I could get you weed so
good your head will spin
You should try it.
Try it.
Have you ever seen me smoking?
Guy, maybe that's what
you need you know?
Maybe that's what you need
Chima.
Yeah.
Do ever think of the future?
The future?
Yeah.
I mean like, after now.
What yours going to do.
The future in Nigeria?
Nigeria isn't that bad.
Nigeria isn't that bad.
Nigeria isn't that bad.
Is that why you're leaving
to go further your studies?
Think about it?
In this city alone there are
like twenty million people.
Every body is struggling to eat,
Struggling to survive.
Look around you man.
Its like a sea of sorrow.
I don't know man but I don't
want to leave like that.
I don't.
So many different voices.
No one is really being heard,
no one is really being seen.
Look at Iredia.
Think about it.
Look at Iredia and all those
other cases we're working on.
No basic healthcare.
Nothing.
I just pray to God.
I just pray
That Fadeke gets her Visa.
What's this?
What's this?
Are you serious?
You want to ask her
to marry you?
I do man.
I love her.
And I'm really just hoping that we can
plan our lives together, you know.
What if she's not ready?
I guess you're just going
to have to wish me luck.
Good luck
You shut up!
- Your mother!
- Your mother!
You better go fix your weave!
Dummy.
You think you can say
whatever you like.
Know how to behave.
Even regular customers
Is it me she's talking
to that way?!
Dude!
- Why did you do that?
- She was rude man, didn't you see.
What?!
She's a human being!
You can't talk to
people like that.
I'm sorry bro.
I didn't mean to be
rude to the cashier
I guess I'm fed up man.
I guess she'll get over it.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What?
Nothing, I just want
to look at you
Marry me.
Marry me, Listen
I don't know what the rest of my life holds
but I just know I want to face it with you.
I don't know what to say.
What do you mean you don't
know what to say?
Say yes baby.
No.
Chima, I really like you.
But I mean...
My student Visa just
got approved and...
That's great news babe!
Listen, that doesn't have to change
anything we can plan around it together.
Me and you.
I love you and you love me.
Why are we even having
this conversation?
I don't know. I mean its not
like I don't want to do this.
I mean I...
I really like you but...
Look I know what I want
for my life right now.
I don't want to make
any mistakes.
Look, let's just slow down.
We don't...
Nothing is set in stone, okay?
Chima, please. I really don't
want to make any mistakes.
Mistakes.
So what are you saying Fadeke?
What are you saying?
I love you.
Chima. Chima wait.
Come on Chima!
Chima wait. Chima
Don't touch me!
I said, don't, don't,
do not touch me!
I'm a mistake?
So I'm a mistake?
After everything that we've
been through, you...
That's not what I said.
What the fuck are you
guys looking at?
No, no, no, what the fuck
are you guys looking at?
Wasn't it a party
you guys came for?
Enjoy your fucking party!
Guy! Don't fucking
piss me off.
And fuck you! Okay?
Fuck you.
Take it easy.
Get out of my way!
Come on!
Will you sta...

Chima.
Why are you so angry
all the time?
- Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you?
- Guy, let's just go, please.
What do you mean let's just go?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Listen, shit happens,
Exactly! When you're involved
shit always happens!
What you did back there,
that was pathetic.
Spare me okay!
Do you think I like what
happened back there?
You think I enjoyed
getting rejected?
I love this babe with
all of my heart.
I love her.
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid that she's right.
And if she's right...
Just turn back please.
Why?
Please just turn back. Just

You think She'll listen to you?
I honestly don't know,
but I've got to try
You want me to turn?
Yes please.
Okay, I'm turning.
I'm sorry man.
Its fine.
Pull over, let's find
out what happened.
Oh man.
She's not here.
I guess the car broke
down or something
Where do you think she went?
She probably went back to the
party to try and get help.
Okay.
You know what? Can you please
help me go check?
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let me try
and get the car started.
Do you have the key?

was an ass
He shouldn't have
done what he did.
You know what? I don't care
Just leave me alone.
I know but at least let me take you
to where you can get a cab or bus.
You don't have to punish
yourself for his misdeeds.
Where is he?
Where you left the car
Look
You don't have to talk to him.
If he's still working on the
car, I'll go drop you off.
I really don't want to see him.
Listen Fadeke.
If its about Chima I
really do not care.
Okay?
Can we go?
Let's move him.
No, no, no, no, its not
safe. We can't...
No, no, no, I can feel a pulse.
Let's move him. I know but...
Come on Jubril! I

Let's move him!
We'll get there now.
We'll get there now
Please don't die
Please don't die.

Apologies.
What stained your pants?
Its a long story.
Babe, look at you.
Should I help you wash
your trousers too?
See your big head.
You're making fun of me.

But the chain is in my bag.
Are you serious?

I don't want to stain
your fine clothes.
Wipe your hands.
Wipe your hands.
Wash them.
I've rinsed them.
Well done.
I was scared.
My beautiful one.
Tola, you are so beautiful.
Laide…
Do you think I'll make
a beautiful mum?
You'll make the most beautiful
mother in the world.
Are you sure?
Of course, I'm sure
Are you serious?
You think so?
Why do you keep asking?
Do you want us to try it out?
Laide, I'm pregnant.
How long?
I found out a week ago.
Why didn't you tell
me immediately.
Your dad and mum are
going to kill me.
They will kill me.
They won't kill you.
- They will.
- Calm down, they won't.
We'll just tell them we
want to get married.
You want to marry me right?
Yes, of course...
you know this.
But this wasn't the plan.
You don't want the child?
Of course I do.
Tola, I love you!
- But see the way things are
- Laide. Laide.
God has given us a gift.
Let's not be ungrateful.
When are you going to
inform your father?
I need to run some errands.
But.
When I get home, I'll tell them.
I love you.
Okay, no problem.
Laide.
Wow, look at you.
This can't be you.
It's me, it's me!
No problem.
You just forgot about me.
No I didn't.
Madam,
I've checked everything.
Alright,
Thank you.
Bye.
You work here?
Yes, I do
Wow.
- Good afternoon ma.
- Afternoon
Wow, that's cool.
You forgot about me!
No, I didn't
- Life just happened.
- It's okay, it's okay
But... I really,
Thank God.
How are you?
I...
I'm looking for a job.
I came to look for a job here.
I heard you guys are
receiving applications.
Apparently, the...
the position has been filled.
Oh!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
So, how is life treating you?
It's been ages.
My girlfriend is pregnant.
Are you serious?
Congratulations man!
Wait,
what's wrong?
What do you mean by
'what's wrong'?
I don't understand.
You guys want to get
rid of the child?
No, no, no.
We'll be okay.
Everything will be fine.
We'll keep it.
I'm just concerned that
I don't have a job.
Don't worry man.
As long as you believe that.
You want to keep the baby.
In the end.
Everything will be okay.
Yeah.
It is well.
Yeah. Afternoon.
It is well.
How about her? Does
she have a job?
No, She just completed her
National Youth Service Corps.
I'm also going to check out
a job from someone today.
So, it's all good.
How about you?
How is work?
Yeah.
See how everyone is greeting you
You're the boss here!
Laide stop!
I'm good.
I can't complain.
Why should you complain?
I run into your mum
from time to time.
Is she okay?
She's doing okay.
Nice, nice.
That's good.
So, you'll become a father
just like that.
That's great.
I need to go
I need to meet up with
the guy about the job.
It was good to see you.
Good to see you too.
Send my regards to your mum.
I will.
- Take care
- Okay.
You see because of the anniversary
we/the church want to do,
we will make sure that
everywhere is painted.
You see those current bulbs,
we'll change those to new ones.
You understand?
Let's go in so that
Daddy
- Ah
- Good afternoon sir
- My dear, how's it going?
- I'm grateful
How are your parents?
They're okay
Sorry.
Thank you sir.
Is it your Dad who
sent you to me?
Or you want to get more
fliers again/as usual?
No sir.
I just came to see you
for something else.
Really?
OKay, no problem.
Let's just go out front
Okay sir.
Okay.
Sir I'm pregnant.
Ah.
And I don't know what this will
mean for the rest of my life.
You see, my dear,
there's no human created by God.
Who doesn't have a purpose.
Sir, I... we know that everything
God creates has a purpose
I'm...
I'm just scared.
I feel like I'm losing my way.
I don't know why God
is punishing me.
No don't speak like that.
God does not punish
those who seek him
God is all-forgiving,
He is merciful.
I feel like I've lost my way.
You'll find a way.
I... I said that to
someone today.
I told the person
God will you find it
You see sometimes,
we tend to lose focus,
we tend to question our faith.
We forget that life comes up with
these unexpected twists and turns.
And when it has happened
like that,
we begin to get confused.
We begin to ask ourselves 'why
am I keeping this faith?'
'Why exactly am
I in the faith?'
But I want to tell you.
I want to assure you that
God is in control
Trust in God.
He has a plan for you.
He knows your heart.
He'll take care of things
for you. You hear?
And if you do that,
That peace that you need

Bro.
Thank you for the opportunity.
You don't understand,
I am totally broke.
I'm just so tired
of job hunting.
No problem my guy.
No problem.
I'm trying to talk
to my brother.
Even though he hasn't
agreed yet,
That's why I want you to
help me deliver this car.
If you do a good job,
it will be easier for
the guy to employ you.
I must tell you though,
it's not a very lucrative
venture.
But you make a lot of your
money from commissions.
At least, it can still help you.
With this child
you're expecting.
I appreciate this, man
You're welcome man.
No problem man.
So,
once you get to the mechanic.
Let them start working
on the vehicle.
I will free you from there.
So that I can go attend
to other matters.
Okay.
I will text you the address
and directions to the place.
Okay.
I beg you in the name of God,
- Guy, don't fuck up
- Thank you, thank you
I won't disappoint you
- Don't fuck up so that my brother won't
kill me please - I won't disappoint you.
I won't disappoint you
No problem,
- Thank you
- Alright man.
Has he gotten a job.
No ma.
But he's really working
hard on getting.
A job.
Daddy, please don't be mad at me
Daddy
Daddy, please.
Daddy, I need your blessing
and support.
I'm sorry.
It's okay
Daddy.
Mummy, please.
Just relax and calm down.
Mummy.
You just calm down.
Calm down.
I'll talk to your dad.
Thank you mum.
Tola.
Tola, Tola.
This wasn't what
we wanted for you.
Yes ma.
But listen.
Stand.
You just come.
Come and sit.
Funmi.
Come this way.
Sit.
Come on.
This whole thing
is exasperating.
This boy we're talking about.
Do you love him?
Yes mum,
I love him.
And he also loves you
He loves me a lot
Tola, he hasn't got a job.
How is he planning this wedding.
How does he plan to take
care of the child.
Mummy, he'll get a job.
He'll get a job before
the baby comes
I know.
Tola.
You won't be the death of me
Alright, I've heard.
Dry your tears, it's okay.
It's okay.
It's because your father loves
you that's why he's angry
You understand, It's okay.
Don't be mad at me mummy.
What can I do?
My dad is not speaking to me.
Sorry.
But how are you? Are
you feeling okay?
I was worried.
Then I...
Prayed about everything
Now I feel much better.
Guy!
Hey.
Can I ask you something,
Yeah.
Why.
Tola, do you think
I'm a good person?
Do you think I'll
I'll make a good father.
You're the most caring
person I know.
Why are you asking
me that question.
Babe, I'm worried.
You know how things are
I don't even know how
I'll provide for you and
the baby as things stand
You know I don't like it
when you doubt yourself.
See, we're in this together.
You're going to land a job.
And we'll make this work, okay?
Yeah okay.
I'm actually running
an errand now.
So if everything goes well
Maybe a job can come out of it.
Wow. Okay,
that's good.
God is great.
Yeah
I just...
I just feel like I'm not the
man You need me to be right now
You don't understand.
Laide.
You'll be the man.
You're a good person.
And you're going to
make a great dad
Yeah
I hope your dad doesn't
kill me when he sees me
Silly boy.
I'm hanging up now.
Bye.
Hey, what's up.
Hey, babe, how's it going?
What's up.
So, my Dad spoke to me and
He'll like to see both of us.
So we can talk about things
That's good news
Once I'm done I'll
just come over.
Okay.
I'll see you soon.
Love you.
I love you.
Bye.
See when Tochukwu is
just sending the text.
Laide, I'm pregnant.
I'm trying to talk
to my brother.
You want to marry me right.
If you do a good job.
I'm worried... you can
see how things are.
You will find a job.
We're in this together
I won't disappoint you.
Hi, it's me Ochuko.
How's it going?
Yeah.
I was thinking about.
That thing.
You were talking to me about.
So that I can raise
the money. But,
Can you give me on credit?
Just... hello,
hello?
Hello.
Hey... Rabiu.
How's it going? What's
happening?
Are you home?
- Hi Sister, well done
- Good morning.
Please where's Rabiu?
See him behind you.
Rabiu Robo!
Ochuko.
- Long time no see
- Rabiu Robo!
Easy, easy My hand hurts.
How are things with you?
Uncle, good morning.
How are you?
Fine.
Have you both eaten?
Yes.
Okay, go meet Aunt Carol.
She'll give you rice
to take to school.
Where's your older brother?
Or is he your younger brother?
Is he not going to school
with you guys?
That one has cancer.
Jesus.
It's not a funny situation.
Cancer!
Jesus Christ.
That's the problem we're in.
Iredia's mum has tried.
Right now, she's owing
two year's rent
One Kobo, she doesn't have.
How she's able to send
these ones to school
I don't know.
Bye sir.
Okay bye.
Be careful.
Come, come, come.
Come.
See, take.
Just.
Keep it and use
it for transport.
Just manage it.
Don't lose it.
Bye, you can go.
Wow.
Ochuko.
How much is there?
Like three hundred and
fifty thounsand naira.
Three fifty.
Have you started working now?
Am I working now?
Why are you asking?
How were you able to put
all this money together?
Am I not in these streets?
Wouldn't I hustle? MAKES SENSE?
Rabiu.
You know I've wanted to
travel for a while now.
I want to go to Europe.
I want to go to overseas
It's the money for that I'm
trying to put together.
That's even why I came to see you,
if you could loan me some money.
- No matter how small the amount
- I don't have.
I'll add it all together
so when I get there,
I'll do a refund.
Ochuko, things are tough.
The issue at hand is Iredia's
mum's situation.
See.
See this.
See what I'm talking about.
Things are tough.
So you can't even squeeze
any money out for me?
I don't have a dime.
This is really tough.
Whew.
It's a tough place to be
This situation.
Rabiu.
Just imagine that I was
the owner of this car.
Or you.
We'll just cruise around town.
With many girl.
Loud music blaring.
We'll all be jolly.
- Ochuko
- Everyone will be gassing me up
- Ochuko, you haven't changed!
- Calling my name, Ockuks Ochuks
You just keep dreaming.
We don't pay to dream.
The least I can do is dream.
Maybe one day, my dreams
will become reality.
That sort of thing.
The car isn't bad though.
It would have suited
us if we owned it.
So Rabiu, you can't just
squeeze out anything.
So that I can add it to
what I've put together.
Ochuko,
You're like a brother to me.
If I had the money,
I'll have given you.
Ah!
What are you doing,
don't do that.
- Hey, are you blind
- You dey mad.
If I slap you.
Get in the car let's go.
Sister, are you okay.
Sister, what stained your jeans?
I'm fine.
Please have you got a lighter.
No.
Where are you going?
I thought you said you
needed a lighter.
I found one.
Sister, let me see you off.
As much as I don't
mean to be rude.
Can you just leave me alone.
Sister come... stop
- What should I do?
- Let's enter this corner
Take off your bag.
Give me the bag.
That's all I have.
Please that's all I have
Two Thousand Seven Hundred.
Jesus.
Jesus.
You know this child?
Is this your boyfriend?
Yes.
Is he good in bed?
- That's none of your business
- Answer me!
He is good.
Good!
This kind of guy should
be good in bed.
It's evil to have a boyfriend
who isn't great in bed.
It's evil.
It's a bad thing to have a boyfriend
who can't fuck you very well.
Oh Tola
You're a beautiful sister.
Are you sure there's no more
money in your pocket?
No, no, no.
Good.
I like this your chain of yours.
Is it gold?
It looks like gold.
- Please I can't give you
- Remove it
Please.
You're a born-again
Christian or what?
Please.
Take it off.
Please.
Take it off.
Take it off!
What is wrong with you?
Give me...
quickly.
Give me this gold.
What?
You believe in God right?
Don't worry, God will provide
Just keep hitting your
head against the wall.
Don't you hear them as
they pray in church.
Everyday, they're in church.
Hitting their head
against the wall.
Hold on, you don't
believe in God?
Believe in God? What
has he done for me?
Look at me…
Do I look like someone
with no education?
What has he done for me?
God is not your househelp.
Yeah right!
- He will help you when you help yourself.
- Where's the help?
If he's going to help anyone,
he should help that boy.
- He should help that boy
- Please can I just go?
- Seems you're late for church
- Please.
- Please.
- Mind how you speak to me!
Turn around.
Turn around!
Do not move!
Remain there.
Jesus!
Why did you.
Help me?
You didn't have to do that.
See.
God loves you.
He really does.
I know you might have
lost your way.
But.
He can help you find it.
This.
This doesn't have
to be your life.
It doesn't.
I...
Listen,
All You have to do.
Is to listen.
And let him in.
Bros.
There are too many problems in this country
already than for you to be adding yours.
And I feel.
There is good in all of us.
And there is good in you.
Just.
Ask Him.
And He'll help you
find your way.
And I.
Really hope you find it.
Sister.
Thank you.
Sister.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Mum,
how are you?
It's been a while
Mum…
So,
It's been four months
since we last saw you.
I've just been busy
Busy.
Busy doing what?
What happened to your hand?
Jesus!
Jesus!
Jesus!
Nothing, it's just...
A minor accident.
You wouldn't call me
You wouldn't call your brothers
You wouldn't call your sisters
Mummy, it's not what you think.
What is it then?
Will you like to eat?
You can take water from
the refrigerator
Thank you ma.
You're welcome.
Mum is...?
Is everything all right?
How do you mean?
I'm just asking if
If you're okay
Anyone listening to you now,
Will think you care.
Where do you live now?
Just.
I am just hanging around
In fact, that's why I came to
see you because I want to leave
I want to travel to Europe
What?
For what purpose?
I'm unsure at the moment
But I'll meet up with
my friends there
They will show me what to do
When I get there
To go do what?
I am not sure yet
I'll connect with
two of my friends
Who will show me what to do and
how the system works over there.
Ochuko.
Mum.
You're jobless.
You're homeless
Mum, that's why I want
to leave here.
I want to leave this country,
If you help me, I will just
I can get my visa and passport
Ochuko
Just tell me the truth
The truth.
What do you really want
to do with this money
Because you're jobless
You're homeless
Mum, I've told you.
I want to get into Europe
The money I gave you the last
time, what did you do with it?
Mum, you know how…
- These things can be.
- You want to use my money to go use drugs.
No mum,
- I don't do those things again, - You
want to use my money to take drugs.
I swear to God.
I swear to God.
Ochuko.
Mum.
So you still abuse drugs.
Jesus, I don't
- You still smoke marijuana.
- I don't smoke anything.
You still sniff cocaine
- God forbid!
- You still sniff glue.
- Mum, you can't
- Stealing here and there.
Mum, why are you speaking to me
this way, I don't do these things.
Ochuko, it's time you leave.
Mum, why?
Ochuko.
Leave!
Mum, please just help
Ochuko, leave now before I
kill you with my own hands.
- Mummy
- Ochuko
Mum!
Ah! Ben!
How is everything?
How are you?
I'm hanging in there
My shock absorbers are bad,
so they're repairing them
Oh!
Ben, how about the Visa application
program you informed me about?
The program is on, I already told you,
it requires money to get involved.
Is it legit?
One hundred percent.
Both my youngers brothers' left
the country with those Visas.
Have you forgotten?
Ben, I've able to raise
half of the funds.
If you could help me
get the Visa sorted,
When I travel out of the
country I will reimburse you.
Ochuko,
if you can't cover the total fee,
then there's nothing I can do.
I hope you understand.
Nothing I can do
And you know there's
a time limit.
It expires.
Didn't you know?
There's just two weeks left.
In two weeks the program
shuts down.
It'll be next year before
the program starts up again.
So
That's the way things are
What troubling you?
Nothing really,
I'm just thinking
What are you thinking about?
Nothing, it's just
about a lady I
ran into earlier today
What about her?
It's not important, Ben
Was she pretty?
Did you ask her on date?
Erm...
Its pretty straightforward.
The program is on, you just
need to get the money
If you can raise the cash
I'll handle the rest.
Its no big deal
Ochuko,
if there's anything you can do to raise
the cash then now is the time to do so.
Remember the visa program
shuts down in two weeks.
Until next year.
They will run this
programme again.
Sister please don't die
Don't die please.
Please!
Jesus! Jesus Christ!
Sister please help me
Please
Please don't die
I'm begging you
Please don't die!
Jesus, please don't

trying to reach you
Are you okay?
What happened?
Why did you come back?
I forgot something
Is that why you came back?
Something like?
What happened?
I'm sorry for all the trouble
I ever caused you.
Please forgive me
I wish I could change the past
I'm a bad person
No son
You're not a bad person
You just,
Lost your way.
Made mistakes.
Mummy,
I shot a lady today
It was an accident
There was no one to help
I met her today and
she gave me a hand
And I...
I stole her money and…
stole her life.
Ochuko!

On your way in

Use the proceeds for your travel
Mom, I don't...

And I pray
I hope,
You get to a place where
you can change your life
Change yourself

How much is this thing?
How much?!
She is sexy!
Sweet girl.
If I could get a piece of her.
Dude, that's not cool.

not be buying this.
Maybe he should go and buy biscuit
or sweet that young boys buy.
Rather than buying alcohol.
I am sorry, your holiness!
Pretty angel, calm down.
If I am drunk.
Maybe you would find out.
Follow me to the back,
let me show you what

Bro!
You're welcome to check it out. You
won't be able to feel your legs.
Brother please!
No, no, no, is it because
I am joking with her?
Why would she talk
to me like that?
- Don't test me!
- Ignore him.
Is it because I am trying
to play with her?
Where is your manager?
Manager!
I know it can't be you.

Say hi to you?! You look like
you are wearing a uniform.

You shut up!
Your mother!
My mother? You are

You think you can say
whatever you like.
Even regular customers
know how to behave.

What happened to the door?
I don't know.
I told the boss that I will
be leaving early today.
Okay.
Okay.

make you feel bad.
Goodbye.
Neither did I come
here to argue.
Dinma.
I miss you so much.
And we worry about you.
My sister!
Do you ever maybe
have that feeling
Maybe on your way to work
or on your way back home.
If you just kept walking
If you just kept walking maybe you
would find yourself in another place.
I don't mean another state,
but somewhere else.
Somewhere your past
would not haunt you.
Somewhere where,
I could just forget everything.
If I could just be happy.
I am so sorry.
Dinma.
Mummy still cries everyday.
She can't even sleep.
I miss you so much.
So much.

- Yeah.
- Okay.
Did you remember to
lock the doors?
After what happened last night?!
Did you tell your friend
we were almost robbed.
What?
Guy, You won't believe
what happened.
I'll tell you in the car.
Bye baby!
Okay.
What happened?
Hmmm.
What happened? Did armed
robbers come here?
Man!
It was more like a burglar though,
like I'm not even going to lie.
I don't even know if the
person was even armed.
I was asleep, a cough woke me and
I realised my throat was dry.
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
For real?
- He said Jesus.
- I promise you my guy!
In the words of Curtis Jackson
A.K.A Fifty Cents.
I've seen n♪♪♪♪♪ get
Religious when they
start bleeding.
Saying Lord Jesus help
me when that ass leaking.
It's not funny.
Oh!
We're here.
Yo, This guy, Man! Today is
going to be a good day. Okay.
We're just going to
finish work quickly.
Get drunk.
And then go for this party
I told you about.
Let's just finish
work real quick.
Erm, There's something
I want to show you.
Just chill, let's finish
up here then...
Okay, I guess I'll
show you later then.
One time.
Have you read it?
Iredia Osagie.
Egberamen,
Eight year old little boy.
He has neuro blastoma.
Stage one.
Widow.
Three Kids.
Barely making ends meet.
Then life saddles her with
this shower of shit.
Wow!
I really hope we
can help this one,
Make a difference or something.
I hope so too.
How is he?
How is his appetite?
No.
I made it this morning.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Is there any news?
Is there any news about
the operation?
That's why we're here?
You know we found out
a short while ago.
We are working as
hard as we can.
Its not easy.
I know.
But I don't want
to lose my child.
Please help me.
He needs this operation.
Mama Iredia.
I'm not going to
sugar coat things.
It's not looking.
It's not looking good right now.
Cancer tends to spread and...
I know.
I know
I know what's wrong
with my child.
I've been told.
I don't need you
to tell me again.
I just need to know
what the plan is.
How do we get him the operation?
We, we...
How do we raise the funds?
We're looking at the timeframe.
The operation costs
Three million.
And we've been able to
raise one million...
- One million three Hundred.
- One point three.
So we need one point seven.
But we've spoken
to the oncologist.
The doctor handling
Iredia's case.
The NGO we work for is in
negotiations with the hospital.
And they've agreed to accept
sixty percent upfront.
They'll start to help while
you find the rest.
Thank God. Thank you.
Thank you.
But there isn't much time.
I don't want to upset
you or anything.
And I know you've tried to raise the
money and even asked family members.
But if there's any other thing you might
be able to do to help raise more funds.
One moment.
They printed these fliers
out at my church.
They also trying to help raise
funds, by creating awareness.
We're hopeful that it might
help raise some more funds.
I'm hopeful that this
might yield something.
You said sixty percent?
- Yes.
- Yes.
As it is now, we need
about five hundred.
Or six hundred thousand
to begin the process.
Okay.
God will answer my prayers.
We can hold on to this?
Yes.
If you want more, I
can give some to you.
It might help.
Okay, Thank you.
Please help me.
Yes ma'am.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for the drink.
- This actually taste horrible,
- I'm not even going to lie.
Yeah
Why did you do that?!
Lookout! Whao!
Guy, are you blind?
Why don't you watch
where you're going?!
Get fuck out of the way!
That's okay, That's okay.
Guy, How long do you think
we've been here for?
Like an hour.
Seems like we've been here
for five hours hours man.
Weed will do that to your
sense of time bro.
Fuck you, okay?
Fuck you.
Funnily enough.
The weed in this neighbourhood
isn't so great.
I could get you weed so
good your head will spin
You should try it.
Try it.
Have you ever seen me smoking?
Guy, maybe that's what
you need you know?
Maybe that's what you need
Chima.
Yeah.
Do ever think of the future?
The future?
Yeah.
I mean like, after now.
What yours going to do.
The future in Nigeria?
Nigeria isn't that bad.
Nigeria isn't that bad.
Nigeria isn't that bad.
Is that why you're leaving
to go further your studies?
Think about it?
In this city alone there are
like twenty million people.
Every body is struggling to eat,
Struggling to survive.
Look around you man.
Its like a sea of sorrow.
I don't know man but I don't
want to leave like that.
I don't.
So many different voices.
No one is really being heard,
no one is really being seen.
Look at Iredia.
Think about it.
Look at Iredia and all those
other cases we're working on.
No basic healthcare.
Nothing.
I just pray to God.
I just pray
That Fadeke gets her Visa.
What's this?
What's this?
Are you serious?
You want to ask her
to marry you?
I do man.
I love her.
And I'm really just hoping that we can
plan our lives together, you know.
What if she's not ready?
I guess you're just going
to have to wish me luck.
Good luck
You shut up!
- Your mother!
- Your mother!
You better go fix your weave!
Dummy.
You think you can say
whatever you like.
Know how to behave.
Even regular customers
Is it me she's talking
to that way?!
Dude!
- Why did you do that?
- She was rude man, didn't you see.
What?!
She's a human being!
You can't talk to
people like that.
I'm sorry bro.
I didn't mean to be
rude to the cashier
I guess I'm fed up man.
I guess she'll get over it.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What?
Nothing, I just want
to look at you
Marry me.
Marry me, Listen
I don't know what the rest of my life holds
but I just know I want to face it with you.
I don't know what to say.
What do you mean you don't
know what to say?
Say yes baby.
No.
Chima, I really like you.
But I mean...
My student Visa just
got approved and...
That's great news babe!
Listen, that doesn't have to change
anything we can plan around it together.
Me and you.
I love you and you love me.
Why are we even having
this conversation?
I don't know. I mean its not
like I don't want to do this.
I mean I...
I really like you but...
Look I know what I want
for my life right now.
I don't want to make
any mistakes.
Look, let's just slow down.
We don't...
Nothing is set in stone, okay?
Chima, please. I really don't
want to make any mistakes.
Mistakes.
So what are you saying Fadeke?
What are you saying?
I love you.
Chima. Chima wait.
Come on Chima!
Chima wait. Chima
Don't touch me!
I said, don't, don't,
do not touch me!
I'm a mistake?
So I'm a mistake?
After everything that we've
been through, you...
That's not what I said.
What the fuck are you
guys looking at?
No, no, no, what the fuck
are you guys looking at?
Wasn't it a party
you guys came for?
Enjoy your fucking party!
Guy! Don't fucking
piss me off.
And fuck you! Okay?
Fuck you.
Take it easy.
Get out of my way!
Come on!
Will you sta...
Chima.
Chima.
Why are you so angry
all the time?
- Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you?
- Guy, let's just go, please.
What do you mean let's just go?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Listen, shit happens,
Exactly! When you're involved
shit always happens!
What you did back there,
that was pathetic.
Spare me okay!
Do you think I like what
happened back there?
You think I enjoyed
getting rejected?
I love this babe with
all of my heart.
I love her.
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid that she's right.
And if she's right...
Just turn back please.
Why?
Please just turn back. Just
turn back please. Please.
You think She'll listen to you?
I honestly don't know,
but I've got to try
You want me to turn?
Yes please.
Okay, I'm turning.
I'm sorry man.
Its fine.
Pull over, let's find
out what happened.
Oh man.
She's not here.
I guess the car broke
down or something
Where do you think she went?
She probably went back to the
party to try and get help.
Okay.
You know what? Can you please
help me go check?
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let me try
and get the car started.
Do you have the key?
I have a spare key
Spare key
Okay.
Yeah.
Alright, Let me
know how it goes.
Okay.
Fucking car.
Shit!
Hey!
Hey!
Look.
Look, I'm sorry
I'm sorry. Chima
was an ass
He shouldn't have
done what he did.
You know what? I don't care
Just leave me alone.
I know but at least let me take you
to where you can get a cab or bus.
You don't have to punish
yourself for his misdeeds.
Where is he?
Where you left the car
Look
You don't have to talk to him.
If he's still working on the
car, I'll go drop you off.
I really don't want to see him.
Listen Fadeke.
If its about Chima I
really do not care.
Okay?
Can we go?
Let's move him.
No, no, no, no, its not
safe. We can't...
No, no, no, I can feel a pulse.
Let's move him. I know but...
Come on Jubril! I
can feel a pulse.
Let's move him!
We'll get there now.
We'll get there now
Please don't die
Please don't die.
Oh my God! Oh my God!
Oh my God! Jubril.
I don't know what's happening
I don't even know.
Somebody help!
Somebody help. Please
Careful.
Careful.
Wait, wait, wait
Careful.
Careful.
He'll be okay
He'll be okay
He'll be okay.
T,
You'll distribute
half of the fliers.
And I'll distribute the
rest of the fliers.
Okay.
Funmi!
Funmi!
Yes mummy!
What does this woman want now.
Good morning!
Tola, how are you?
I'm fine. Is
Laide around?
Erm, yeah. He's
at the back.
Aren't you going to work?
Which work? Did you
have one for me?
Apologies.
What stained your pants?
Its a long story.
Babe, look at you.
Should I help you wash
your trousers too?
See your big head.
You're making fun of me.
Me? I can never!
A bad elder brother.
How are you?
I wasn't expecting to
see you till tomorrow.
Well, I just thought…
To see your coconut head.
Yeah right
Where's our necklace.
I was robbed.
What!
But the chain is in my bag.
Are you serious?
Hope you didn't get hurt.
I'm okay.
You're sure?
I'm fine.
Let's go to the police
- I'm okay.
- Let's go
- Please. Please. Please.
- Don't worry I am okay.
You're sure.
Why haven't you finished
your laundry?
I'm almost done.
Sorry,
I'm glad you're okay.
You're sure?
I'm fine.
I don't want to stain
your fine clothes.
Wipe your hands.
Wipe your hands.
Wash them.
I've rinsed them.
Well done.
I was scared.
My beautiful one.
Tola, you are so beautiful.
Laide…
Do you think I'll make
a beautiful mum?
You'll make the most beautiful
mother in the world.
Are you sure?
Of course, I'm sure
Are you serious?
You think so?
Why do you keep asking?
Do you want us to try it out?
Laide, I'm pregnant.
How long?
I found out a week ago.
Why didn't you tell
me immediately.
Your dad and mum are
going to kill me.
They will kill me.
They won't kill you.
- They will.
- Calm down, they won't.
We'll just tell them we
want to get married.
You want to marry me right?
Yes, of course...
you know this.
But this wasn't the plan.
You don't want the child?
Of course I do.
Tola, I love you!
- But see the way things are
- Laide. Laide.
God has given us a gift.
Let's not be ungrateful.
When are you going to
inform your father?
I need to run some errands.
But.
When I get home, I'll tell them.
I love you.
Okay, no problem.
Laide.
Wow, look at you.
This can't be you.
It's me, it's me!
No problem.
You just forgot about me.
No I didn't.
Madam,
I've checked everything.
Alright,
Thank you.
Bye.
You work here?
Yes, I do
Wow.
- Good afternoon ma.
- Afternoon
Wow, that's cool.
You forgot about me!
No, I didn't
- Life just happened.
- It's okay, it's okay
But... I really,
Thank God.
How are you?
I...
I'm looking for a job.
I came to look for a job here.
I heard you guys are
receiving applications.
Apparently, the...
the position has been filled.
Oh!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
So, how is life treating you?
It's been ages.
My girlfriend is pregnant.
Are you serious?
Congratulations man!
Wait,
what's wrong?
What do you mean by
'what's wrong'?
I don't understand.
You guys want to get
rid of the child?
No, no, no.
We'll be okay.
Everything will be fine.
We'll keep it.
I'm just concerned that
I don't have a job.
Don't worry man.
As long as you believe that.
You want to keep the baby.
In the end.
Everything will be okay.
Yeah.
It is well.
Yeah. Afternoon.
It is well.
How about her? Does
she have a job?
No, She just completed her
National Youth Service Corps.
I'm also going to check out
a job from someone today.
So, it's all good.
How about you?
How is work?
Yeah.
See how everyone is greeting you
You're the boss here!
Laide stop!
I'm good.
I can't complain.
Why should you complain?
I run into your mum
from time to time.
Is she okay?
She's doing okay.
Nice, nice.
That's good.
So, you'll become a father
just like that.
That's great.
I need to go
I need to meet up with
the guy about the job.
It was good to see you.
Good to see you too.
Send my regards to your mum.
I will.
- Take care
- Okay.
You see because of the anniversary
we/the church want to do,
we will make sure that
everywhere is painted.
You see those current bulbs,
we'll change those to new ones.
You understand?
Let's go in so that
Daddy
- Ah
- Good afternoon sir
- My dear, how's it going?
- I'm grateful
How are your parents?
They're okay
Sorry.
Thank you sir.
Is it your Dad who
sent you to me?
Or you want to get more
fliers again/as usual?
No sir.
I just came to see you
for something else.
Really?
OKay, no problem.
Let's just go out front
Okay sir.
Okay.
Sir I'm pregnant.
Ah.
And I don't know what this will
mean for the rest of my life.
You see, my dear,
there's no human created by God.
Who doesn't have a purpose.
Sir, I... we know that everything
God creates has a purpose
I'm...
I'm just scared.
I feel like I'm losing my way.
I don't know why God
is punishing me.
No don't speak like that.
God does not punish
those who seek him
God is all-forgiving,
He is merciful.
I feel like I've lost my way.
You'll find a way.
I... I said that to
someone today.
I told the person
God will you find it
You see sometimes,
we tend to lose focus,
we tend to question our faith.
We forget that life comes up with
these unexpected twists and turns.
And when it has happened
like that,
we begin to get confused.
We begin to ask ourselves 'why
am I keeping this faith?'
'Why exactly am
I in the faith?'
But I want to tell you.
I want to assure you that
God is in control
Trust in God.
He has a plan for you.
He knows your heart.
He'll take care of things
for you. You hear?
And if you do that,
That peace that you need
will surely come your way.
Don't worry,
Everything will be okay.
- You hear?
- Thanks a lot sir
No problem.
Let me go join them inside.
Thanks a lot sir Okay.
- Thank you sir.
- Okay.
Correct.
Correct, correct,
correct, correct
Bro.
Thank you for the opportunity.
You don't understand,
I am totally broke.
I'm just so tired
of job hunting.
No problem my guy.
No problem.
I'm trying to talk
to my brother.
Even though he hasn't
agreed yet,
That's why I want you to
help me deliver this car.
If you do a good job,
it will be easier for
the guy to employ you.
I must tell you though,
it's not a very lucrative
venture.
But you make a lot of your
money from commissions.
At least, it can still help you.
With this child
you're expecting.
I appreciate this, man
You're welcome man.
No problem man.
So,
once you get to the mechanic.
Let them start working
on the vehicle.
I will free you from there.
So that I can go attend
to other matters.
Okay.
I will text you the address
and directions to the place.
Okay.
I beg you in the name of God,
- Guy, don't fuck up
- Thank you, thank you
I won't disappoint you
- Don't fuck up so that my brother won't
kill me please - I won't disappoint you.
I won't disappoint you
No problem,
- Thank you
- Alright man.
Has he gotten a job.
No ma.
But he's really working
hard on getting.
A job.
Daddy, please don't be mad at me
Daddy
Daddy, please.
Daddy, I need your blessing
and support.
I'm sorry.
It's okay
Daddy.
Mummy, please.
Just relax and calm down.
Mummy.
You just calm down.
Calm down.
I'll talk to your dad.
Thank you mum.
Tola.
Tola, Tola.
This wasn't what
we wanted for you.
Yes ma.
But listen.
Stand.
You just come.
Come and sit.
Funmi.
Come this way.
Sit.
Come on.
This whole thing
is exasperating.
This boy we're talking about.
Do you love him?
Yes mum,
I love him.
And he also loves you
He loves me a lot
Tola, he hasn't got a job.
How is he planning this wedding.
How does he plan to take
care of the child.
Mummy, he'll get a job.
He'll get a job before
the baby comes
I know.
Tola.
You won't be the death of me
Alright, I've heard.
Dry your tears, it's okay.
It's okay.
It's because your father loves
you that's why he's angry
You understand, It's okay.
Don't be mad at me mummy.
What can I do?
My dad is not speaking to me.
Sorry.
But how are you? Are
you feeling okay?
I was worried.
Then I...
Prayed about everything
Now I feel much better.
Guy!
Hey.
Can I ask you something,
Yeah.
Why.
Tola, do you think
I'm a good person?
Do you think I'll
I'll make a good father.
You're the most caring
person I know.
Why are you asking
me that question.
Babe, I'm worried.
You know how things are
I don't even know how
I'll provide for you and
the baby as things stand
You know I don't like it
when you doubt yourself.
See, we're in this together.
You're going to land a job.
And we'll make this work, okay?
Yeah okay.
I'm actually running
an errand now.
So if everything goes well
Maybe a job can come out of it.
Wow. Okay,
that's good.
God is great.
Yeah
I just...
I just feel like I'm not the
man You need me to be right now
You don't understand.
Laide.
You'll be the man.
You're a good person.
And you're going to
make a great dad
Yeah
I hope your dad doesn't
kill me when he sees me
Silly boy.
I'm hanging up now.
Bye.
Hey, what's up.
Hey, babe, how's it going?
What's up.
So, my Dad spoke to me and
He'll like to see both of us.
So we can talk about things
That's good news
Once I'm done I'll
just come over.
Okay.
I'll see you soon.
Love you.
I love you.
Bye.
See when Tochukwu is
just sending the text.
Laide, I'm pregnant.
I'm trying to talk
to my brother.
You want to marry me right.
If you do a good job.
I'm worried... you can
see how things are.
You will find a job.
We're in this together
I won't disappoint you.
Hi, it's me Ochuko.
How's it going?
Yeah.
I was thinking about.
That thing.
You were talking to me about.
So that I can raise
the money. But,
Can you give me on credit?
Just... hello,
hello?
Hello.
Hey... Rabiu.
How's it going? What's
happening?
Are you home?
- Hi Sister, well done
- Good morning.
Please where's Rabiu?
See him behind you.
Rabiu Robo!
Ochuko.
- Long time no see
- Rabiu Robo!
Easy, easy My hand hurts.
How are things with you?
Uncle, good morning.
How are you?
Fine.
Have you both eaten?
Yes.
Okay, go meet Aunt Carol.
She'll give you rice
to take to school.
Where's your older brother?
Or is he your younger brother?
Is he not going to school
with you guys?
That one has cancer.
Jesus.
It's not a funny situation.
Cancer!
Jesus Christ.
That's the problem we're in.
Iredia's mum has tried.
Right now, she's owing
two year's rent
One Kobo, she doesn't have.
How she's able to send
these ones to school
I don't know.
Bye sir.
Okay bye.
Be careful.
Come, come, come.
Come.
See, take.
Just.
Keep it and use
it for transport.
Just manage it.
Don't lose it.
Bye, you can go.
Wow.
Ochuko.
How much is there?
Like three hundred and
fifty thounsand naira.
Three fifty.
Have you started working now?
Am I working now?
Why are you asking?
How were you able to put
all this money together?
Am I not in these streets?
Wouldn't I hustle? MAKES SENSE?
Rabiu.
You know I've wanted to
travel for a while now.
I want to go to Europe.
I want to go to overseas
It's the money for that I'm
trying to put together.
That's even why I came to see you,
if you could loan me some money.
- No matter how small the amount
- I don't have.
I'll add it all together
so when I get there,
I'll do a refund.
Ochuko, things are tough.
The issue at hand is Iredia's
mum's situation.
See.
See this.
See what I'm talking about.
Things are tough.
So you can't even squeeze
any money out for me?
I don't have a dime.
This is really tough.
Whew.
It's a tough place to be
This situation.
Rabiu.
Just imagine that I was
the owner of this car.
Or you.
We'll just cruise around town.
With many girl.
Loud music blaring.
We'll all be jolly.
- Ochuko
- Everyone will be gassing me up
- Ochuko, you haven't changed!
- Calling my name, Ockuks Ochuks
You just keep dreaming.
We don't pay to dream.
The least I can do is dream.
Maybe one day, my dreams
will become reality.
That sort of thing.
The car isn't bad though.
It would have suited
us if we owned it.
So Rabiu, you can't just
squeeze out anything.
So that I can add it to
what I've put together.
Ochuko,
You're like a brother to me.
If I had the money,
I'll have given you.
Ah!
What are you doing,
don't do that.
- Hey, are you blind
- You dey mad.
If I slap you.
Get in the car let's go.
Sister, are you okay.
Sister, what stained your jeans?
I'm fine.
Please have you got a lighter.
No.
Where are you going?
I thought you said you
needed a lighter.
I found one.
Sister, let me see you off.
As much as I don't
mean to be rude.
Can you just leave me alone.
Sister come... stop
- What should I do?
- Let's enter this corner
Take off your bag.
Give me the bag.
That's all I have.
Please that's all I have
Two Thousand Seven Hundred.
Jesus.
Jesus.
You know this child?
Is this your boyfriend?
Yes.
Is he good in bed?
- That's none of your business
- Answer me!
He is good.
Good!
This kind of guy should
be good in bed.
It's evil to have a boyfriend
who isn't great in bed.
It's evil.
It's a bad thing to have a boyfriend
who can't fuck you very well.
Oh Tola
You're a beautiful sister.
Are you sure there's no more
money in your pocket?
No, no, no.
Good.
I like this your chain of yours.
Is it gold?
It looks like gold.
- Please I can't give you
- Remove it
Please.
You're a born-again
Christian or what?
Please.
Take it off.
Please.
Take it off.
Take it off!
What is wrong with you?
Give me...
quickly.
Give me this gold.
What?
You believe in God right?
Don't worry, God will provide
Just keep hitting your
head against the wall.
Don't you hear them as
they pray in church.
Everyday, they're in church.
Hitting their head
against the wall.
Hold on, you don't
believe in God?
Believe in God? What
has he done for me?
Look at me…
Do I look like someone
with no education?
What has he done for me?
God is not your househelp.
Yeah right!
- He will help you when you help yourself.
- Where's the help?
If he's going to help anyone,
he should help that boy.
- He should help that boy
- Please can I just go?
- Seems you're late for church
- Please.
- Please.
- Mind how you speak to me!
Turn around.
Turn around!
Do not move!
Remain there.
Jesus!
Why did you.
Help me?
You didn't have to do that.
See.
God loves you.
He really does.
I know you might have
lost your way.
But.
He can help you find it.
This.
This doesn't have
to be your life.
It doesn't.
I...
Listen,
All You have to do.
Is to listen.
And let him in.
Bros.
There are too many problems in this country
already than for you to be adding yours.
And I feel.
There is good in all of us.
And there is good in you.
Just.
Ask Him.
And He'll help you
find your way.
And I.
Really hope you find it.
Sister.
Thank you.
Sister.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Mum,
how are you?
It's been a while
Mum…
So,
It's been four months
since we last saw you.
I've just been busy
Busy.
Busy doing what?
What happened to your hand?
Jesus!
Jesus!
Jesus!
Nothing, it's just...
A minor accident.
You wouldn't call me
You wouldn't call your brothers
You wouldn't call your sisters
Mummy, it's not what you think.
What is it then?
Will you like to eat?
You can take water from
the refrigerator
Thank you ma.
You're welcome.
Mum is...?
Is everything all right?
How do you mean?
I'm just asking if
If you're okay
Anyone listening to you now,
Will think you care.
Where do you live now?
Just.
I am just hanging around
In fact, that's why I came to
see you because I want to leave
I want to travel to Europe
What?
For what purpose?
I'm unsure at the moment
But I'll meet up with
my friends there
They will show me what to do
When I get there
To go do what?
I am not sure yet
I'll connect with
two of my friends
Who will show me what to do and
how the system works over there.
Ochuko.
Mum.
You're jobless.
You're homeless
Mum, that's why I want
to leave here.
I want to leave this country,
If you help me, I will just
I can get my visa and passport
Ochuko
Just tell me the truth
The truth.
What do you really want
to do with this money
Because you're jobless
You're homeless
Mum, I've told you.
I want to get into Europe
The money I gave you the last
time, what did you do with it?
Mum, you know how…
- These things can be.
- You want to use my money to go use drugs.
No mum,
- I don't do those things again, - You
want to use my money to take drugs.
I swear to God.
I swear to God.
Ochuko.
Mum.
So you still abuse drugs.
Jesus, I don't
- You still smoke marijuana.
- I don't smoke anything.
You still sniff cocaine
- God forbid!
- You still sniff glue.
- Mum, you can't
- Stealing here and there.
Mum, why are you speaking to me
this way, I don't do these things.
Ochuko, it's time you leave.
Mum, why?
Ochuko.
Leave!
Mum, please just help
Ochuko, leave now before I
kill you with my own hands.
- Mummy
- Ochuko
Mum!
Ah! Ben!
How is everything?
How are you?
I'm hanging in there
My shock absorbers are bad,
so they're repairing them
Oh!
Ben, how about the Visa application
program you informed me about?
The program is on, I already told you,
it requires money to get involved.
Is it legit?
One hundred percent.
Both my youngers brothers' left
the country with those Visas.
Have you forgotten?
Ben, I've able to raise
half of the funds.
If you could help me
get the Visa sorted,
When I travel out of the
country I will reimburse you.
Ochuko,
if you can't cover the total fee,
then there's nothing I can do.
I hope you understand.
Nothing I can do
And you know there's
a time limit.
It expires.
Didn't you know?
There's just two weeks left.
In two weeks the program
shuts down.
It'll be next year before
the program starts up again.
So
That's the way things are
What troubling you?
Nothing really,
I'm just thinking
What are you thinking about?
Nothing, it's just
about a lady I
ran into earlier today
What about her?
It's not important, Ben
Was she pretty?
Did you ask her on date?
Erm...
Its pretty straightforward.
The program is on, you just
need to get the money
If you can raise the cash
I'll handle the rest.
Its no big deal
Ochuko,
if there's anything you can do to raise
the cash then now is the time to do so.
Remember the visa program
shuts down in two weeks.
Until next year.
They will run this
programme again.
Sister please don't die
Don't die please.
Please!
Jesus! Jesus Christ!
Sister please help me
Please
Please don't die
I'm begging you
Please don't die!
Jesus, please don't
die. Don't die
Please. Please!
Please don't die

Blood of Jesus!
Oh!
Please don't die
Don't die on me
Please don't die

Jesus Christ!
Oh my God! I've been
trying to reach you
Are you okay?
What happened?
Why did you come back?
I forgot something
Is that why you came back?
Something like?
What happened?
I'm sorry for all the trouble
I ever caused you.
Please forgive me
I wish I could change the past
I'm a bad person
No son
You're not a bad person
You just,
Lost your way.
Made mistakes.
Mummy,
I shot a lady today
It was an accident
There was no one to help
I met her today and
she gave me a hand
And I...
I stole her money and…
stole her life.
Ochuko!
Ochuko
Mom
Give me your hand
That car you see outside
On your way in
Take it. Sell it.
Use the proceeds for your travel
Mom, I don't...
Take it
Take this money too
You'll need it
Thank you
Ochuko
Mom
I don't...
You can't change yesterday
I'm not even sure we can
run from our mistakes
But I love my son,
I love you
And I pray
I hope,
You get to a place where
you can change your life
Change yourself
I pray for you my child
Whatever you're searching
for, I hope you find it.
Who is it?
You can come inside,
