- Honey.

- Oh, God...

Please, this can't wait.

Look... If I don't go now,

I'm going to be late for work.

C'mon Maro.

It's monday today. If I have to do

anything tangible I have to start today

I want us to have a very big party.

Why?

You know we're not very

big on money right now

So why would you want a big party?

It's my fortieth birthday

party. It's a big deal.

Of course it is.

When Teni turned forty,

Bels threw her a lavish

ten million naira gig

for her birthday party.

You were there.

Yes I was. Sorry, I can't afford it.

Maro, do you want to

make me a laughing stock?

Why don't you invite your

friends over to the house?

For lunch or dinner?

Huh?

Maro, stop it please.

How can I have my fortieth birthday here?

Is it that bad?

Yes it is... we're still very broke.

Okay.

At least we can afford... say maybe a

weekend get away for ten couples to Dubai

With what will I use to pay for that?

[SIGHS]

Maro, please say

something positive now...

[CAMERA CLICKERS]

[PHONE RINGS]

by fortieth birthday?

[IN PIDGIN] It seems like you know best.

I am forty years old.

Okay...

Who's sponsoring, I

heard you guys are broke.

What you heard is a big, fat, lie.

A crappy tale that has no bearing.

Even if the tale bearer is your husband?

Why would my husband

say such nonsense to you?

Well..he didn't say it to me,

he said the nonsense to Bels.

Oh...

I see...

Well, he was joking.

He was joking, take it from me, we're fine.

Alrighty, I'm going to get packing.

Okay. Cherios.

First, you have to promise me something.

Uh... Okay.

But it depends.

Uhm... look...

I need your help but...

Not good.

The come back is

taking longer than we hoped

and is making

everything else crumble.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Now, what do I do to help?

My darling.

I didn't want to come to you.

I mean you've been

so good to me and... but...

My hands were tied.

What is it?

I told Maro about my birthday party and...

He's yet to give me money for the rooms.

I mean, talk more of

money for the other things.

I really need to...

I'll wire you the money tomorrow.

Thank you Bels.

You know you're my sucker

I don't know what I'd do without you.

I'm sorry.

I'm being all emotional.

C'mon, c'mon...

It's okay.

Hmm... It's okay.

I didn't mean to make you cry.

We need to talk.

C'mon can't it wait

I know, you're always

tired. It won't take long.

[IN PIDGIN] Quickly...

Okay.

What is it?

I need you to clear out your saturday.

What's the occassion?

It's Omoh's fortieth birthday party.

I'm busy.

I have a lot of work on my desk.

Work will just have to wait,

Ah-ah.

Is it not a mere birthday party?

No it's not.

Ha... it's a chance for us to unwind.

Just us.

You travel all the time.

You hang out when you like.

We haven't had time.

I haven't had time to get

close to you as I'ld love to.

So please work with me

Fine.

Okay, I'll go. Jeez.

Then go and join them.

What's that supposed to mean now?

Ah-ah I mean all these your sexing friends.

It's my pleasure anytime to help you.

So, it's Omoh's birthday party

at the resort on saturday

Hmm...

Think we should do her

the honors and attend.

Ah-ah, you make it sound like

if we don't attend, that

the party will not hold.

Well... more or less it won't

Uhmm...

Teni.

Bels, let's face it.

Omoh piggybanks on my

celeb status all the time.

She uses me to look good.

Omoh is good looking.

And she can hold her own without you.

Stop being so hurty.

Bels.

Why do you take sides with

everyone asides from me.

Who said anything about physical looks now.

Every opportunity to make me look bad

and others look good,

you seize it all the time.

Then stop giving me reason to.

You don't expect me to

see black and call it white.

You should know me by now.

Oh, so...

If her husband insisted on one couple,

who do you think she would have picked?

Teni please let me eat. Please.

You know you make it

so difficult to talk to you.

Here I am just trying to make

conversation, and you're only being cynical

Now, this is good.

Hmm...

[PHONE BUZZES]

[CHUCKLES] [IN PIDGIN] How are you?

Ah I couldn't be better my dear.

Where are you?

I'm at home oh.

I'm going through some clothes. I'm looking

for the prescribed outfit for Omoh's gig.

That desperado.

My dear, pick the

cheapest outfit you can find.

She's not worth spending much more.

Ah-ah.

[IN PIDGIN] What happened?

a phone cal conversation.

Come, I'm at home.

[IN PIDGIN] How did Omoh

enter this particular issue

That is the gist of the century.

This year hasn't been too good for us.

Business has been bad and uhm...

We have a backlog on

the children's school fees,

My birthday is on saturday and

we haven't even planned at all.

Does your husband know that you're here?

Oh no gosh... If he knows, he'll kill me.

Eh-eh...

Then why are you

here? do you want to die?

Um... yes ma. They arrived

earlier, Ayo and Rose?

When?

Um... not long after you came in.

They didn't ask after me?

They seemed to be in a hurry.

Um... never mind.

If the other guests come, I

need you to be very nice to them.

You don't have to tell me ma, It's our

duty to be very courteous to our guests.

I know you're very courteous Essie.

I just want you to be extra nice.

I mean these are very important friends of

mine and we want to create an impression.

Yes ma.

Yes, yes, oh yes.

Okay, this is it.

What kind of room is it?

- Standard single room ma'am.

- Excuse me.

Omoh reserved a single room for me?

Teni, let us just manage the room okay.

No, Bels I won't manage.

What type of room is she staying in?

The governor suit ma.

I see.

And she thinks we should

manage a single room?

Are there anymore governor suits available?

Yes ma but...

Let me have the keys to that. Upgrade me.

Ma.

Upgrade me now.

Umm... ma it's not that simple.

It's just for one night.

Bels, I sleep on a customised

king sized bed in my house.

I won't come to some hotel to manage.

Precisely why it is a hotel.

A double bed is not that

small we can manage it.

It's probably what they can afford.

No. They can afford more. She's

just being stingy and I don't know why.

It's bad enough that it's only three

couples that are invited to this thing.

I mean who does that?

Have you considered that the husband

may have put restrictions on her spending?

I don't care I'm not

sleeping in a single room.

Upgrade me.

Ma it's...

Upgrade me now.

I'm sure

our host can afford it. She's

the perfect host remember?

Do you realize I'm a celebrity?

Is this how you treat

your celebrity guests?

moved to the governors suite.

Can you imagine.

SO you know, I'm not paying

a dime and neither are you.

Which face?

Someone disregards you and all

your interested in is looking good.

Are you serious?

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello ma.

Essie what have you done?

It's not my fault ma. Your friend

came in and insisted on a change.

I heard everything.

Now listen to me, how

much is a standard room?

Fifty thousand ma.

A hundred and fifty thousand naira ma.

What is the difference?

A hundred thousand naira ma.

Now listen...

You better go to her room

and get her to pay that money

Or else not only would you loose your job

for suiting rooms at your own will

You'll be made to pay that difference.

But ma, you asked me to be

friendly and welcoming.

And when did being

friendly and welcoming

mean finishing me and

my husbands money?

I'm sorry ma.

You better go to her room

and tell her what I have said.

Yes ma

[PHONE RINGING]

- Hello.

- Hello ma, this is

Essie from the reception.

Oh, hi Essie.

You calling to check up on me?

No complaints yet.

Thank you very much ma.

The manager noticed the

change of room on the system and...

She asked what

happened and I explained...

She insists on a balance.

Oh, then call Omoh she is my host.

I called her but she refuses to pay.

Does she know I'm the one?

Yes ma.

I see, how much is the difference?

A hundred thousand naira ma.

Do you have a point of sale machine?

I do.

Great.

[DOOR OPENS]

Bels this is unbelieveable.

Omoh insisted I pay the

difference for the room.

Of course, what do you expect?

Nothing... expecially not your support.

Good evening. The resort...

How may I help you?

Okay just hold on, one minute.

Actually, maybe you should help

me. I do need to start getting ready

I have to represent.

Why?

Because it's a competition.

Honey, when two or three

women are gathered there is war.

The silent way. Competition is inevitable.

All of you're friends for goodness sake.

Hmm... you'll never understand.

Rest well boo boo.

Who is getting you all worked up?

Don't mind this twat.

First of all, she charges me a

hundred thousand naira extra

more befitting room.

Now she's giving me an attitude.

Ehen... have you spoken to her?

Who?

Omoh.

Please, please, please... I don't know

You have her number Teni.

Shouldn't she be the one

asking after me? I'm her guest.

Didn't you hear what I said? She's

She is the one that should be checking

up on me and not the other way round.

- Eneh, eneh...

It's my wellbeing

we're talking about here.

She must be overwhelmed. It's not

Don't let her hear you though.

But seriously, whether big or small

these things, they take a toll on you.

What toll?

How much will it cost to plan

this excuse for a birthday party.

Well, I'm really surprised oh, because

I thought she was going to go all out.

C'mon this is her fortieth

bithday we're talking about here.

Booking a standard room

for three couples, what is that?

Uh...

She could easily spend ten million

naira on this thing. I know I did.

-That's a milestone

-Hmm...

These things only

happen once in a lifetime.

Well... in some cases.

like this one, it happens more than once.

What did you say?

She's forty isn't she?

Hmm... plus six.

It's a lie.

Please, please, I beg you.

You didn't hear it from me

your husband don't forget

the reason you're here

and start getting ready.

Right away... you know I can't

wait to see what you're wearing

[IN PIDGIN] You are meant to be

putting it on already.

No, I just bought a cheap dress for

two hundred and fifty thousand naira

What!

Two hundred and fifty thousand.

Laughs

Well, it's fine. Thank God

I came prepared as well.

[IN PIDGIN] I trust that

you wouldn't mess up.

Alright get ready.

Okay darling, cherios...

Alright darling cherios.

You bought a dress for two

hundred and fifty thousand naira?

No, it's fifty thousand.

How is fifty thousand the same

as two hundred and fifty thousand

Urgh...

That, you won't

understand that just leave it.

I won't understand what?

That you choose to lie?

No, that I chose not to tell the truth.

My goodness.

[SCOFFS]

You're beginning to freak me out.

Why do you feel the need to lie?

Maro, with women everything is complicated.

If you tell it like it is, it will be

used against you in the future

For example...

The fact that you told

Teni's husband about our financial status

has her feeling

like she's above me.

People go through good and bad years.

This happens to be a bad year

for us of which wewill get through.

What!

There's no need to lie.

You had no business saying anything.

This is not about me.

You know how I feel

about lying. I don't tolerate it.

Believe me if this had happened when we

were courting, I wouldn't have married you.

[LAUGHS]

Are you serious?

[LAUGHING CONTINUES]

You won't have married

me if you caught me lying?

Do you find this funny?

Darling I'm only

laughing at the true reality.

All women lie, it's no big deal.

Just calm down it's not that serious.

You don't think it's

that serious, I think it is!

I can't be around someone who lies.

Listen, I'll let this

slide but please stop!

- I don't appreciate it.

- Eh-eh... please.

Don't ruin my day. It's not

like I murdered someone.

Tada!

Wow.

How do I look?

[ROSE SCREAMS]

[AYO LAUGHS]

What do you mean is that it?

Do you know my truth more than me?

As a matter of fact, yes I do.

I know a few things about you that

your husband doesn't know.

Ah-ah Teni.

I was talking to her not you. Okay.

Yes, I do know a few of your

truths that you've never told your husband

First off you're forty six not forty.

[AYO IN YORUBA] Oh my God

Do you know what?

Um... Teni, you'd have to behave yourself

or I'll be forced to ask you to leave.

I'll gladly leave.

But before I go, can

you tell everyone here

how you could afford a four thousand

dollar purse given your financial standing.

Teni, get up and let's

leave this place now.

Did you buy a bag for four thousand...

- Two million naira?

- No baby, not here please.

Is she telling the truth?

Are you forty-six?

Darling, let's step out.

Why do you want to step out?

She made a demeaning statement and

all you want to do is step out?

C'mon Omoh...

Stand up sometimes.

Please...

Stand up for yourself.

Teni, please...

There'll be no bullying.

Bullying, who is bullying who?

She's five years my senior

I can't be bullying her.

-Hey

-[AYO CHUCKLES]

Yes, you know what?

This is proof that my

husband bought your wife

that purse that she's prancing around with.

[IN PIDGIN] A purse

that doesn't fit what you're wearing.

- [BELS] Teni, Teni!

- [TENI] Yes.

And while we're at it he gave her

two million naira on wednesday.

I'm guessing it was for this party.

ANd come to think

of it, my husband is shagging your wife.

Because

I know my husband is not that generous.

You are evil! You are evil!

- You cheating whore, you dare call me evil?

- Hold up, hold up...

Why won't you take sides with her?

Protect her, protect your whore.

- Afterall you're sleeping with her.

- Teni, Teni, I'm warning you.

Teni, you better stop

calling me names.

Okay, you can call me anything

but definitely not a whore.

- You know that.

- Really.

-Yes

-Really.

Is what she's saying true?

Darling, the present and

money were just to help

out for the birthday

party and nothing else.

Sure.

Bels.

Look, I was only helping out nothing else.

Honestly.

[TENI] Oh please...

[TENI HISSES]

Maro.

Get your hands off me.

- Are you happy now?

- Yes.

Are you happy?

You think you're a saint right?

Without scandals, without secrets.

Did you tell your darling

husband that you've had six abortions.

- Eh...

- [CHUBI IN IGBO] My God.

Did you tell him you

couldn't get rid of the seventh

because the doctor

was scared for your life?

Stop it!

Did you tell him that

you carried the seventh one to term.

And that child today is thirteen years old.

- Stop it!

- Take it easy.

Did you tell him...

that those six abortions

were as a result of you being a pornstar.

- Of you being a pornstar.

- Shut up!

-In Italy

-Shut up!

- Did you?

- Shut up, you're lying.

And as a stupid teenager

you agreed to film without protection.

- [ENEH] Hey!

in university, you had to undergo

vaginal re-construction to impress him.

[IN YORUBA] Don't act this way Bels.

- I mean did you see that?

- Omoh...

-[CHUBI] Bels

-Take it easy...

You haven't heard the last of this.

Trust me, you haven't

heard the last of this.

Oh really, go to hell Teni.

- Go to hell, that's where you belong.

- It's okay.

- This is...

- Leave me.

- And you, you told her.

- Hmmm...

You're supposed to

be my friend I trusted you.

I'm sorry, I just

said it light heartedly.

I don't know

why she will bring it up here now. why?

Oh, since we're all being

light hearted I guess I can tell Chubi now

that you're sleeping with your chef.

Hey...

- [IN IGBO] What did you say?

- Yes Chubi.

Your sugar baby poporipopo as you

fondly call her

is sleeping with your chef, John.

Yes.

No... it's not true.

She says you're an embarrasment to her.

You humiliate her when you

guys go out because of your lack of class.

Yes.

And even when you make

love to her your moaning is very local.

-Ah-ah

-Me?

My baby poporipopo, my baby poporipopo...

My sugar, hey!

Hey, poporipopo!

And when you're

done you sleep off and start snoring.

Leaving the house vibrating

like locust beans on a grinding machine.

- Eh-eh...

- [ENEH SIGHS]

Ah-ah... what is the...

You're just sitting there do something...

Omoh, thank you.

[IN IGBO] Thank you very much.

Happy birthday.

Chubi.

- Please Chubi.

- Chubi, please take it easy.

Chubi, please.

Omoh, what have you done?

- You will pay for this today.

- What is all of this?

[IN YORUBA] What is

the meaning of all this in God's name.

God punish you, Devil

punish you. Old cargo.

Old cargo.

I've got you. Snitch, snitch!

Omoh what is the meaning of all these?

Is it a problem to come to your party?

Wha... take it easy.

Yes dear take it easy.

- I'm sure this is all just temptation.

- [OMOH] Eh-eh

What kind of temptation?

This seems like a set

up to me, you planned to ruin my day.

Ruin your day? Set up? why?

Nobody is ruining your day or setting

you up Omoh.

So how do you

explain the progression of events so far?

How?

It's just... coincidence.

Oh... it's a coincidence right?

So here's a big toast to coincidence.

Ahh... this will go down

in history as the best birthday party ever.

Omoh, Omoh let me take you back...

Don't, don't come near me.

Because your wife

can't see a man and woman happily together.

Without making silly conclusions.

I don't know what it is that you've

done to her to make her hate life so...

You better make it

right by her and love her.

Make it right by her and love her.

You promised to give her sex

three times today. You better complete it.

Are you listening?

Don't let this

mad, insane distractions detour you.

Better give it to her

or she'll take it out on your children.

Omoh stop it! Stop it!

- Ayo let's go, let's go.

- Yes go!

- Wait, wait, wait...

- Go, what are you afraid of?

That he'll find out that

you want to run and abandon your children.

Does he know the re-occuring seizures

your childrn experience?

Is as a result of the

overdose of benedrille that you give them.

- HAve you told him, have you?

- What, what...

- I can explain.

- You better explain.

-I'm... I'm... I can explain

- You better explain.

Don't listen to Omoh she's crazy.

We're all birds

of the same feather flocking together.

I lie, Teni kills, Eneh cheats and you

hate your children.

Ayo, Ayo...

Omoh, do you know that me and Ayo

can go two weeks without doing the tango

Uhh...

Why?

[IN PIDGIN] Where would you find him?

Even when

he's around, will the children allow us?

[IN PIDGIN] will the children all ow us?

In that case you can

lock the door and do what you have to do.

[ROSE LAUGHS]

Lock which door?

- Our door.

- Yes.

- [CHUCKLES] With who? those ones.

- Yes.

They will

stand by the door and make a bang at it.

Mummy open the door,

why are you locking the door, I'm hungry.

I want to eat, I want

to wee, I want to sleep

- I want to, I want to, I want to.

- [CHUCKLES]

[IN PIDGIN] How would

you concentrate with such distractions?

Two weeks is too long.

In fact 2 days is too long.

It's better he knows that he has to

render what belongs to Ceaser to Ceasar

[IN IBIBIO] Exactly.

-Ah-ah

-[IN PIDGIN] You're feeling it right?

-Yes

-Exactly.

- [LAUGHS]

- [IN PIDGIN] Now you know why it hurts

My sister... any chance to

drop the kids somewhere I'm in.

They've taken so much away from me.

So much...

I just wish I could pack all these children

Just lock them up somewhere.

[IN PIDGIN] Throw the key away

and just run and leave them.

Ahh...

Ah-ah...

[IN PIDGIN] Please, please, please, please

Look, you need to find a

balance before you loose it

I'm loosing it.

No, you can't loose it oh.

- You're stronger that please.

- I'm loosing it already.

Do you know what I did recently?

[IN PIDGIN] It made me question my sanity

- [ROSE] Hehe...

- What did you do?

[ROSE SOBBING]

Benadrille overdose?

Madam do you know what may

have happened to your children

if you had't called me in ontime.

Doctor please, whatever happens

my husband shouldn't know about this.

I beg you. It won't happen again.

Do you want me to arrange

for you to see a counsellor?

Your actions prove to me that you

may be suffering from depression.

I don't know what came over me.

I need help doctor, I need help.

I can't do this anymore.

[ROSE SOBBING]

No it's okay just um...

Get some help okay.

Thank you.

Fine, I belive you. I just can't

trust you with the children again.

Ayou, you can't separate

me from the children.

You know what, juts

take all the time you need.

Get screwed a million times.

Just breathe all the air you need.

Ayo no, It's only you I want.

You can't have me alone.

The children are part of us.

So, so where does that leave us?

Ayo, where does that leave us?

Teni.

Teni, open this door.

Bels.

I say, open this door and

show me your shameless face.

Bels I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I said open this door

before I bring it down.

I want to see the face of deceit.

Ha! Teni.

Teni after everything I did for you.

Bels, Bels I can explain.

What is it that you

want to explain to me?

Tell me that thing you want to

explain to me for goodness sake.

That you could not explain ten y...

Eleven years even.

[SIGHS]

Ha, Teni.

Teni, ha!

You're truely the structure of the devil.

My own wife blue.

Blue film! My wife!

[IN PIDGIN] God will punish you...

Hey! Stop!

Stop it.

We were poor okay.

My mother's friend offered

to take I and my sister abroad.

But what she didn't tell us was we

were going to pay our fees the hard way.

She forced us into pornography

and threatened to use it

against us everytime we complained

After my sixth abortion.

Yes, my sixth abortion.

The doctor who was also under my

madams employ offered to help me escape.

When I got to Nigeria and

found out I was pregnant,

I didn't have a choice

Bels I had to keep him.

And then I met you, I knew

I had to have a fresh start.

I'm sorry okay...

I'm sorry that I did not have the

courage to tell you about my past.

But are we going to allow this to ruin

everything we worked hard to build?

Let's not forget Bels,

this is not about me.

All of this is certainly

not about me.

Bels.

[DOOR OPENS]

Honey.

Bels.

Ah! Bels!

Damn you!

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

[IN IGBO] Come.

Where are you running to?

Uhm...

Now that your secret is revealed.

[IN PIDGIN] Your secrets are out.

[SOBBING]

Chubi

Sweet, please.

If you call me that one more

time, I'll chop your head off.

Please, please forgive me.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry about all the

things I said about you.

Please.

Please let me go with my shame.

I'll leave your house, I'll

even give you a divorce.

But please forgive me.

No

Look, before you leave

this room, you must transfer

everything in your account back to me.

Every penny, I don't care

how you want to get it done.

Use your token, go online,

call your account officers.

Or even in the spirit just keep

transferring till I'm satisfied.

Transfer all my money back to me.

Hmmm... I will reverse every

property that is in your name.

Cause I want you to go

out there and start all over.

With a man or chef of your choice.

[SIGHS]

Chubi please.

[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMS]

[SOBBING]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Maro.

Oh there she is...

The lying birthday girl.

Maro, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I truly am.

You know what the problem is?

I don't know whether to believe you or not.

You...

are brilliant at this.

You lie well.

Forty six.

Why lie about that?

Oh I'm sorry.

When I met you I realized I

was five years older than were.

I didn't want to loose you.

So I panicked and I lied.

And I'm sorry.

Listen, I know you hate me right now.

No, no, no..I don't hate you.

I can never do.

You're my wife after all.

Right?

Right.

-But you hate lies

-Yes I do.

And that's why I need

you to come clean with me.

If you tell the truth?

This marriage can be saved.

But if you don't...

I'm sorry but we have

to go our separate ways.

Did you sleep with my friend Bels?

Maro please, please don't make me do this.

I said I'm sorry.

I need you to think carefully.

Before you answer because Bels

was here and he told me everything.

He did?

And tell me the truth

for once in your life.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

If he told you everything then...

Because!

Because I need to hear it from you.

I love you enough to want

to salvage what's left of us.

Okay.

Alright.

You know I love you.

I just wanted to appreciate

you for everything you've done.

Everything you've done for me.

Well...

Just know.

That I am here for you.

Anything you need...

Any help...

Uhhh...

Hmmm...

Omoh.

I see you came prepared.

I do what I must.

You're beautiful.

ANd you're irressistable

[KISSES]

Please.

Please I'm sorry.

How long has this been going on?

Just five months.

Just five months?

Of doing it over...

over and again.

My God.

Why on earth will you

shame me like this?

What did I ever do to you?

Nothing Maro, you did

nothing, I was foolish.

And I did it not because I love him.

It was just to show

gratitude for all he had done.

Or for giving us assistance

when we needed it.

I mean of everyone I asked he was

the only one who agreed to help.

How many of my other

friends did you approach?

Almost all of them.

And if all of them had

given you money like Bels?

Would you have shown the

same gratitude to all of them right?

No, no, no, I won't do it.

I don't know what came over me Maro.

Please.

I see.

Ah... thank you.

Thank you for being truthful for once

in your deceitful life.

You're disgraceful I'm ashamed

to even call you my wife!

Maro please.

Guess what? I lied to

get you to tell the truth.

Bels didn't tell me anything.

If you like him enough you will go

to him and tell him I'm coming for him!

And as for you, I will encourage

you to run for your dear life.

Because what you have

done may cause me to end it.

Please

Please Maro, please.

- You think I'm playing?

- No

- I'll kill you.

- No.

-I'll kill you

-No.

-I'll kill you

-No!

[MARO SCREAMS]

No.

[MARO SCREAMS]

[OMOH GASPS]

[COUGHS]

What if they had died

from that seizure episode?

Would you have been happy even?

No Ayo.

Why would I want my children dead?

I don't know, you tell me.

I could never hurt my children.

But you did dear.

You hurt them.

Not intentionally.

Do you know how many mothers

have killed their children unintentionally?

Is that how you look at me now?

Do I look like I'm capable of murder?

I don't know what to think.

You went too far.

All for sex?

You just don't get it do you?

If it were all about sex,

I have my pick from the

other men like my friends did.

But I miss us.

I miss the times we spend together.

I miss the times we just used to

talk about everything and nothing.

That's it.

I guess that's my sin

and... that's where it all led me to.

I'm sorry.

Look I uhm...

[CLEARS THROAT]

I spoke to doctor Ben.

And he said that you've not been attending

the counselling sessions he set up for you.

You need help rose.

You're battling with a serious

case of post-partum depression.

I don't need help Ayo.

I need you.

It's so easy to judge people

based on all of this but...

you need to realise you have a

part to play in all of this as well.

Or didn't the doctor

tell you that as well?

[SNIFFLES ]

[SIGHS]

He did.

And I apologise.

I will make out more time for my family.

For you.

Hmm...

Now... I can only imagine what you've

been going through as a house wife.

You give so much to the running of

the house and I appreciate you for that.

Hmm...

We will make this work.

I promise you.

Sure about this?

Yes my love.

I'm very sure.

[CHUCKLES]

Now come here.

Hold that thought.

[DOOR CLOSES]

- [ROSE] Ayo, love you.

- [AYO] I love you too baby.

[ROSE] After this we

still have one more oh...

[AYO EXCLAIMS]

[IN YORUBA] I think

you should take it easy.

[ROSE IN IBIBIO] My love...

[AYO] Let's finish this phase first.

[ROSE IN IBIBIO] Mighty man.
