Sir, hurry up. You're taking
forever on just one haircut. Ah!
This is how Mr. Joshua behaves every time.
- Calm down. Be patient.
- Bros,
see these little Uniport boys
walking around here like goats.
I've been telling you, these boys,
even with all their parent's money,
they have nothing to offer.
Don't mind them, that's how they
roam about aimlessly, stupid boys.
I will put hands
on them one day, they will see.
They haven't seen anything.
Mr. Joshua, hurry up.
Please, I'm coming.
Hurry up, so we can get out of here.
I'll get to you soon, so calm down.

music is life.
It's the hustle and the grind for me.
And school is?

I don't joke with school work.
My dad won't take that
kind of nonsense from me.
Personally, I will not
allow that for myself.

with your priorities young man.
See, the Students Union week coming up,

No worries, babe. You know
I'm not bailing classes for these shows.
You know me now.
I got something.
What's that?
That's the new song we got featured in.
Rachel, why would you do that?
That is why you didn't
get my school bag for me.
You know what?
We have a test tomorrow
and I do not want to hear shit
about any stupid rap song right now.
And if I see that CD again,
I will break it.
Babe, stop now. Why...
Rachel, stop!
Now,
I want everyone to listen up.
It's either you make your parents proud
or you make me ashamed for assuming
that you had nothing upstairs.
Have I made myself clear?
Yes, sir!
Beautiful.
Hello!
Lola Diri.
What is going on there?
Come.
Come out from there.
Come out from that place.

Me? No, it's nothing like that my guy.
What exactly is it like?
Look, it's just,
I haven't been around lately.
No. Guy, what are you talking about?
What do you mean by
you haven't been around lately?
- Be chill.
- Don't we see you? What are you...
Don't say that to us.
- We are not kids here.
- Relax, don't talk like that.
What I want you
to say right now is "here is your money".
I mean, guy, stop playing games.
Do you have Tizzy's money or not?
We are waiting.
Don't rush me.
Rush you?
When am I getting my money, man?
I told you that
everything he's doing is nonsense.
You're telling me, okay,
you're telling someone
not to rush you, right?
When you are the one owing him.
When are you going to pay him the money?
Don't smile at me. What is
wrong with him? Please, leave me.
Don't smile at me.
When are you going to give him his money?
What is all this nonsense?
And if I don't drop it?
You won't because you can't!
Really?
- Yo, chill. Eh.
- Yo!
Hey.
Stop.
Come Friday.
What?
Come on Friday and get your money.
Friday?
Yeah. Friday.
What time?
Uh
- Two, from two...
- Wisdom, what time?
Three o'clock.
Wait, you just said two right now.
- See guy, don't get it twisted.
- Just wait.
- You better give our guy his money.
- Chill.
Where?
- I've been telling you he's acting like
- My house. I'll always be home.
Wisdom, you said it.
Three p.m. Friday. Your house.
Have my money when I come for it.
Please, no jokes.
- I got you my guy. Don't worry.
- I'm not your guy.
Ah.
He thinks we're joking with him,
that's why he's acting this way.
I told you, you are too soft on him.
Someone whose head
I can break with a bottle right now.
- What kind of nonsense is this?
- Don't stress about it. Just leave him be.
What kind of nonsense is this?
It's clear he is fooling you.
Looks a lot like he's fooling you.
Guys, we just have to find out on Friday.
Let's go.
- Tizzy, Wisdom is playing you, I swear.
- Maybe.
What are you saying?
Like, what are you saying?
What you mean maybe? The guy is playing...
Like, it's clearly obvious
that this guy is playing you.
You keep acting
like a fool, I don't get why.
See, look, I feel like, see,
we need to go block him at home.
Like early morning things.
Like what time?
By five a.m. we should be there.
- Guy, before he wakes, obviously.
- Wisdom is a Hyena.
That guy never sleeps.
Guy, if we go at five a.m.,
we'll catch him.
- What are you saying?
- We'll catch him, bro.
You, what are you saying?
- Like...
- Okay.
- What if he doesn't have the money?
- What are you saying now?
Why will you say Wisdom
does not have the money?
It's clearly obvious
this guy has the money.
He is just playing this guy.
He wants him to do his worst.
And you keep acting like a fool.
See, I can do my worst.
I can actually do my worst
and he won't like it.
Do it! Do it so he knows.
Wisdom is a hitman for the Southside boys.
He holds their bag. What are you saying?
You have started telling tales. Hitman?
I don't care what he is.
I actually don't care.
He has to give me my money.
What we did was business.
Look, Tizzy, you guys, if you're down
with this yeah, let's go to his house.
- It's Wisdom now. Block him...
- Wait. Big I, Listen.
- This is how we are going to do it.
- Wait!
They are playing
your song! Can't you hear?
Increase the volume!
This song is going to beat
"Ghost Mode" hands down.
Wait, you people have started again.
- I'm on your side for sure but...
- What do you mean we've started again?
- It will beat "Ghost Mode".
- I'm on your side, but you can't.
- It's us now.
- We'll beat him!
You guys are funny. Even this song, this
this "Anam Achi Kwanu" song
cannot beat "Ghost Mode".
- What is this guy saying?
- You realize that you are my guy?
You guys are comparing
"Ghost Mode" to your song?
You don't know anything about music.
- Take a book.
- Go and read it.
- Sir K!
- Hey! Morning!
- What's up? What's going on?
- We're good sir.
Guys, I just heard you guys'
vibe on that Timi's new song.
You guys did so well. You killed it!
- You guys are doing well.
- Sir K,
we need to get our own joint out there,
you understand?
We need to get our own jam.
True, that's the spirit,
that's the spirit, you understand?
I have been waiting to see
you guys but, what happened?
I didn't see you guys again.
School work, honestly.
But right now, we're ready.
- Are you sure you guys are ready?
- We are sure now.
If you're ready I'm ready.
So let's see.
But, there's a thing though.
You have to give us a cut on the session.
We want to pay half first.
Guys,
actually you understand
that this is business. You understand?
Based on you guys are good,
and I want to associate with you people,
I can't split the mastering
and production money,
but for the session,
I'll see what I can do about it.
You understand?
But as it is now,
I'm fully engaged, I'm fully hooked up.
There's nothing I can do. You understand?
This particular jam
will be out in the next three weeks.
I give you my word.
Sir K, we actually
need it before October 11th.
October 11th you say?
Yeah, It's Student's Union Week
and we need to get it out before then.
Based on young talent
let me see what I can do.
- Sir K!
- You understand?
So how is everything? How is school?
Ah, school is school, Sir K, but
You're too much.
- What? Tamuno, leave my bag.
- Wait, sis.
- What's up?
- Eh, go!
My man, how are you?
- Man, pretty tired.
- I'll not wait for you.
- Wait now, let me say hi to my guys.
- Hi guys.
- Good evening.
- Bola.
- Good evening.
- Leonard.
- Don't say that again.
- Be chill.
Don't say don't...
Guy, chill.
This boy.
You are always walking around with
your sister. Where are you going to?
My provision is finished.
I want to collect money.
By the way we made
a banger with Sir K today.
- Bro!
- My man! You'll get to hear it later.
- I'll catch up later.
- Alright man.
- Babe.
- Mm-hm?
- Do you know yeah,
- Mm-hm?
I never thought I could do well
in that Petrology test. Stupid course.
That old lecturer.
He's always mumbling in class.
See, the only time
you can hear what he's saying
is only when he is in a class test.
Can you imagine?
He said limestone and
magma are igneous rocks.
Limestone.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock.
But he said limestone is an igneous rock.
Nope, he didn't.
I bet you were
watching that Lola girl again
when that was being discussed.
What Lola girl?
Ask me again.
Anyway, I'm just telling you
what I heard him say in class.
See, babe, it's actually in my notes.
These lecturers are just
way too old to still be teaching.
You so obviously didn't hear him well.
Okay. What about the test, mm?
I got marked wrong when I wrote
that nematodes are
infrequently fossilized.
Can you defend them on that too?
All minuscule invertebrates
are infrequently fossilized.
Okay.
So are nematodes
minuscule invertebrates or not?
Sorry guys, I had
to go to church with my mom.
Good boy.
Mommy's church boy.
Please, shut up. Are you ready?
Ah-ah, you guys won't wait to eat?
Oh no, don't worry,
we will eat when we come back.
Why don't you call him first?
I've been calling him,
but he's not picking my calls,
he's not replying my texts.
Tizzy, at this point I have to ask.
Do you think this guy
is not messing around with us?
I think we just have to go and find out.
Babe, don't worry yeah,
when we come back we'll eat.
Okay.
Save some for us.
Hurry up guy.
Alright.
- Catch you later.
- Be good.
Why do I have a lot
of roasted plantain here?
Please, you guys, come.
Are you Uniport students?
Uh, yes, ma.
We came to look for our friend,
Wisdom. He stays at number nine.
He asked us to come.
Okay. It's not been up to one hour since
I saw somebody from
their compound pass this way.
Please how much is your roasted plantain?
It's 200 each.
Give us two please.
Do you live in this town?
No, ma. We stay in the hostel, PG hostel.
Look, let me tell you guys,
I'm just seeing that you people
don't know what is going on in this town.
This town is on top alert.
Because some bad boys
come here to attack and rob people.
And people are on the look out for them.
So, if you don't live here
just buy this food and leave.
- Yes, ma.
- They are arresting people anyhow
- in this town now.
- Hello?
- Thank you ma.
- What happened?
Should I add pepper?
Come!
Are you not buying the food again?
Hey bro, I'm looking for Wisdom.
Hi.
Wisdom.
- Is this guy joking?
- This guy better not be playing games.
Wisdom.
- Bro, for real.
- Wisdom!
Bro,
this guy is playing.
I feel like we shouldn't
even be here at this point.
Hello, sister, well done.
What kind of boys are these?
Hello? Come.
Are you looking
for anybody around this area?
Yes, sir. We are looking for
Wisdom at number nine.
Have you called him on the phone?
Sir, I called him but
his number is not going through.
Elder,
these are just young boys.
Is it not young boys
that went to rob Gbega's shop?
And they still raped his daughter.
Before they did the robbery
they came like a day before,
to check the whole area.
That's what I heard.
I heard they caught one of them.
An ex-militant that
escaped from the Amnesty camp.
We caught them.
- Eh, you caught them?
- We caught them.
But these ones, they are students,
they came looking
for their friend here, from Uniport.
Their fellow students?
Yes.
Won't you carry your food again?
Today's market very bad.
Well first,
let this guy
finish cooking this single, bro.
Imagine this single is done,
we're out there performing, studio, shows.
That even reminds me.
Wisdom is still
flexing with on campus, guy.
And he's telling
you nonsense about your money.
Bro, Wisdom is taking me for an idiot.
This guy is forming hard guy
for me on top of my own money.
You are the one fumbling.
Hold on,
how many pairs
of sneakers did you even sell to him?
15. 15 sneakers and jeans too.
See, I gave him
a discount on the one I sold to him.
Then I was expecting
after sales I would probably
give him like a commission for helping me.
See sneakers, jeans, my money, nothing.
I've seen literally nothing.
Bro, this thing is blowing my head.
Wait,
Ben even told me it looks like the fool
has been spending money lately.
And he is still doing
Look, see guy, Ben said if we go
to his house, five a.m., we'll see him.
The thing is, the only
issue is that, that their community
is scary, it's dangerous.
But look, if we go
with small security, we'll be okay.
I know a guy that can go with us.
Who?
One Gabriel guy. He owes me a favor.
See, guy, I'm telling you,
if Wisdom sees this guy
he won't be messing up, trust me.
Have you discussed with the Gabriel guy?
I'll talk to him tomorrow.
Alright. See, just talk to him,
then let me know what he says.
- Cool?
- I got you.
Bro, I don't need
this Wisdom guy to kill my vibe.
I can't wait for what
this guy's doing, bro. Ah!
Hello.
Hello.
Mommy.
Hello, son. How are you?
Have you gotten those textbooks
you needed in school
or do I get them here?
Oh, no, you can get it there.
I was going to
You were going to what?
Where are you?
Are you not in school?
I'm with Tizzy.
What are you guys doing?
We just went to get something to eat.
There is no food on campus now?
Listen, son,
I don't want you outside
school for no good reason.
You really need to
pay attention to your education.
Your test week is coming up.
Your education comes first
before every other thing.
Including this music thing
you're always running
around with your friend.
Do you understand?
Yes, mom.
Fine.
Get back to school and call me
when you get there. Okay?
Yes, mom.
Bro, all these adults...
Bro, all these adults
stressing about school, like
- we already on it. Just calm down.
- Guy, I don't even know.
- Ah-ah. School all the time.
- School. Books.
This here is my calling!
Bro, what's that thing? That new thing?
- Reverb.
- Yeah. Bro, add it.
- He knows his work.
- No, bro,
I'm just so excited
about this whole thing.
Like imagine this single comes out
and we start performing in school,
we go to radio stations
- All the girls will know who we are.
- Ooh, you know!
Bro I can't wait.
This is my friend that I told you about.
You know, I already explained
to you on the phone what it's all about.
We just want
to go the guy's house. That's it.
Don't worry. See, Wisdom is a bastard.
I can do it. At least for you.
You know you helped me with that exam.
- It's time to pay you back.
- Oh yeah, true.
Told you guy, we'll be alright.
- We'll talk, we'll confirm on the phone.
- No problem, we'll talk on the phone.
How are you? Capo?
That Wisdom matter,
I think I just got a solution to it.
I have a solution
to it right now. I'm telling you.
What is this
solution you found? Tell us here.
Number one, some boy came to me.
Yes.
What boy?
He's a young sharp blood
in my class. He's a rapper.
Wisdom bought sneakers
from his friend and has refused to pay.
Can you imagine?
Capo, this thing
looks like an opportunity.
It could be a setup too.
Who are these boys really?
Just some small boys.
They just finished Year one with us.
They just want to get their money.
It's not a setup.
How did Wisdom start
owing them this money?
The boy went to London,
bought stuffs, like bought things.
Wisdom then collected sneakers,
from the friend.
They just want me to go and
collect the money from Wisdom.
That's all. It's not a setup.
Well, you are going
if it is okay with you.
Capo, Wisdom is on our list.
And this matter can be war.
Capo, this thing can cause war.
What kind of war?
What is causing war?
Small boys just want to
get their money. Please.
Gabriel, you want to do this?
I'll go.
Well, I subscribe.
Give him the gun.
Give it to him.
Keep it well.
Gabriel, you know the rules.
Be very careful.
Be very careful.
Capo, I will see you.
So guys, this Wisdom thing.
See, Wisdom cannot fight us.
He can.
He can't beat us.
What are you saying?
Okay, what if he has a gun?
A gun? Did you just say a gun?
I have already told you people
not to be listening to what this boy says.
Hear the nonsense he is saying.
Guys,
what are you saying?
Don't you understand?
That guy is dangerous.
Wisdom is a hitman for the Southside Boys.
- The Southside Boys!
- And so?
So that one now means he has a gun?
Obviously!
See, bro, we are not
going to fight Wisdom.
We're just going
to get my money and leave.
What do you do when he fights?
We will beat him. Is he mad?
He can't fight the four of us.
- Five of us.
- Five.
Bro, see, even if he has a gun
is he going to shoot me
because I came to collect my money?
For a business we did?
Wisdom is dangerous,
that is what I'm trying to say.
What you are saying right now,
you are sounding like a coward.
In fact, that's what you are.
You are a coward.
Guy, don't say that again, please.
- It's not about that.
- You are talking like a fool.
- You don't have to come if you are afraid.
- Guy don't say,
- Tamuno, don't say that again.
- No, stop.
- Coward.
- I say...
- Guys.
- What's the meaning of that?
Hey, chill. See,
you guys shouldn't be fighting.
But you were there
when he was calling me a coward!
You shouldn't have called him a coward.
-Don't say that.
- You shouldn't have called him a coward.
- Hear the nonsense he's talking about.
That's wrong bro. That's wrong.
- Chill. Please, just chill out.
- Just relax.
Let's focus guys.
Bro, I'll talk to him.
Guy you shouldn't have done that.
- Can't you hear what he is saying.
- Calm down, guy.
Are you supposed to reply him like that?
You always like to fight.
- Me, I like to fight?
- You always like to fight.
Is it not because
you want to collect money?
Be chill.
Don't do that my guy.
Quiet! It's alright sir.
It's alright. Quiet!
Hold on. Quiet please.
Okay.
Okay!
- Quiet!
- The Chief has spoken!
If I hear anything
from any mouth again now,
I will send that mouth out!
I'll send the person out of this place.
Asari.
My Chief.
Your family cannot decide
who will cut
the banana leaf from the groove.
Sure.
Okay?
My Chief.
I'm listening.
I salute you.
The problem
is from the boys from the Amnesty camp.
They are thieves!
They will sneak out in the night
or early in the morning,
enter town,
go commit atrocities and problems.
Before you know it,
they have sneaked back to their camp.
I've discussed this
with the DPO.
You understand me?
And we have discussion, good discussion
that they will call another meeting
where all of us will meet
and discuss the way out.
My Chief.
Another meeting?
The meetings we have done before,
what has happened?
The boys we caught before
and gave to police where are they?
And we are talking of another meeting.
We cannot allow
criminals to overrun our lands.
And also not allow our people,
lawlessness amongst our people.
That is my stand.
Let the police do their job. Right?
- Let the police do their job!
- True.
We caught these boys
and gave them to the police.
My Chief,
within one week they are back.
And when they come back
they commit more atrocities.
There is a skeleton in the cupboard.
- A skeleton in the cupboard.
- Yes, something is fishy
- somewhere.
- Yes.
We will do our job.
And let the police
do their own.
What we will do more is to obey the law.
Exactly.
And not beat the law.
My Chief,
the police, they are not helping matters.
- That's it.
- They are not.
The police, they are not helping matters.
How?
As you know, we have been
cooperating with the police.
The big problem now is,
is the police ready to cooperate with us?
- No.
- That's the problem.
Yes, sir.
Okay sir.
Yes, first thing
tomorrow morning, I'll be there.
Okay.
Say what you want to say.
Stop hassling me.
Say what you want to say.
What's up?
What's wrong with you
that you're acting as if
Okay, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said what I said earlier.
He is playing hard to get?
It's okay, guy.
- Guys.
- Alright then,
what's the plan for tomorrow?
So, guys, Chibuzo is not coming.
Ah-ah.
Why now? I thought we've settled already.
Well, he's got to be at
his IT place first thing tomorrow morning
or they will sack him.
Man, guy, that sack
uh, threat, I can't risk it and
my father is going to kill me.
You and your old man.
And you don't even
give us money from the IT job.
- Did you do the work with me?
- Bro!
Tomorrow
Don't stress, guy,
we'll collect that money.
And we'll make more bangers with Sir K.
Don't play with me, bro. Ah-ah.
- I'm alright. Better still... No.
- Your phone.
Hello, mom.
No, mom I didn't see
- Chill, it's my mom, relax.
- Sorry.
Mommy, ah. Mom, wait...
We have classes by eight a.m. tomorrow.
So what... Right after the class
I'll come home.
I promise.
Yeah, mom.
Take care.
Bye.
Love you.
Okay. Yes mom, bye.
So
I thought you're going to see
Wisdom with your friends tomorrow?
Oh, yeah, we are. But this is the thing.

then run back to like home. Do you get?
Okay.
Yo! How are you doing, man. What's good?

That's the plan.
Are you listening?
What of this Gabriel guy?
Oh, yeah. He's going to
meet us here tomorrow morning, so
This is where you guys are.
I was looking around for you.
How are you doing, brother?

But, guys, there's
a thing on my mind, though.
Can we trust Gabriel?
Look, you can trust me.
Do you get? Bro, see
I feel like Don't be bothered, guy.
See, Gabriel is going
to bring bikes from town for us.
So don't worry yourself, guy.

Bro, go and meet Rachel.
Tingling feeling, which tingling feeling?
Lover boy.
Get out of here, man.
Sorry bro.
Babe, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
See, I'm sorry. This Wisdom thing,
planning and everything. I'm sorry.
It's fine.
I told you not to sell
those trainers to Wisdom.
Right now, I wish I listened to you.
I didn't know that guy is such an ass.
Tizzy, what's up?
- Bro, what's good?
- Everything's okay.
Now, what if he doesn't
give you the money tomorrow?
He doesn't have a choice.
Everybody has a choice.
He will drop the money. Believe me.
When I'm back,
we can do the library thing.
When are you guys coming back?
It's not a party, cut in,
cut out, chop chop. And we're done.
As soon as we're done,
I'll give you a call.
Please be careful.
Oh, we're not going to war.
Those people are crazy.
They don't like anyone
that is not from their town.
I know. I know they don't.
But see, we're just going to see
Wisdom and get my money.
I'll be down at

Shut up!
Aboli, what is the matter?
What is the matter?
We have caught armed robbers as usual.
They are thieves!
Chief, they said they are students.
That they came to collect
money their friend owes them.
Did you check out their ID cards
to know whether they are students?
- They had nothing!
- Yes.
Even the four that escaped
had guns and they were shooting at us.
It's true!
I did not see them with IDs
and I did not see them with guns.
They told me that
someone collected their IDs.
Though some people said
that they heard some gunshots.
- No sir! Sir!
- Keep quiet.
They had no IDs. They had nothing!
- Who did they rob?
- But sir!
- We are not armed robbers sir!
- Keep quiet.
Sir we are not armed robbers!
We came to collect my money from Wisdom!
- Keep quiet.
- We are before the Chief.
- You are a criminal.
- Keep quiet.
Criminals!
Now, who is Wisdom?
Chief, they said
he lives at Coca-Cola road.
Now, where is he? Who is that Wisdom?
Have you gone to check out the Wisdom?
No, but we can do it now.
What if you go there
and Wisdom is not there?
If you go there and Wisdom is not there?
Then let's check him first!
Let's check on him first!
Don't worry, the police
will come for us. Okay?
They will come,
they will see that we are students.
Well, if you go there
and do not find Wisdom,
you can do what you like.
- Kill them!
- Kill them!
My sister.
What's happening? Why all this crowd?
- You didn't hear?
- Eh-eh.
They caught four thieves. Four.
These boys stole a phone, a laptop.
Listen, they even shot someone.
- We want to go and burn them.
- Burn!
Burn.
Hey!
This whole town is on fire.
Why? What happened?
Town vigilante people
caught four thieves this morning.
Red-handed.
The armed robbers stole
someone's phone and laptop,
and they also shot someone.
Now the vigilante group
wants to burn them.
Yes.
What happened to calling the police?
Oh, please, serves them right.
It must be, eh,
those boys from the amnesty camp.
Rapists and robbers.
They rape?
Yes, they do virtually everything.
You just need to
pray to God never to cross their paths.
God forbid.
Are you still charging your phone?
Yeah, but you should check
if mine is full you can plug yours.
Okay.
But why burn them now?
Why burn them?
Are you really serious now?
Why burn them?
Okay now. Meet them. Go.
Your paths will cross.
- Kill them!

Come, we're not joking here.
- Show us the room!
- Show us the room. Where is the room?
- Where is the room?
- Speak!
Come and show us the room.
Kill them! Burn them!
Nobody should touch them again.

Some of them even shot at us.
This is nonsense.
We're not thieves, sir!
Sir, we're Uniport students!
I'm taking the boys
to the station right now.
- No!
- We're not thieves!
They're taking them to the station now!
No!
Calm down!
We know that robbers have
been terrorizing this town.
Yes!
We know that nobody
wants armed robbers to escape.
Yes!

Do you know these boys?
He makes photocopies on campus!
- I don't know them.
- Preye!
- Yes, I have a photocopy shop in school,
- We are not thieves.
- But I don't know you.
- No! He lives...
You live in number nine.
He knows Wisdom!
Call Wisdom right now!
Call Wisdom!
Do you know Wisdom?
I know Wisdom.
Call him on the phone.
Call him on the phone!
Call Wisdom you will
see that we are students.
Put it on loudspeaker.
The number is not going through.
- Ah!
- Quiet! Keep quiet!
No sir, tell him to try the number again.
Same thing, the number
is not going through. Switched off.
No sir, no!
So, what are you going to do?
Kill them!
We are going to do to them
what they do to criminals!
Kill them!
Let's go. Move them!
Kill them!
Hello. Brother.
Someone just called me from Uniport.
They said they picked up
some Uniport students that they're thieves
and they saw Leonard there.

Ah, they've even gone far.
They're really out for these thieves.

So what do we do? Let's go now.
Nothing.
Me, I'm leaving.

Thanks for being there all the time, man.
Bro, don't stress that, man.
You know I got you, bro.
I mean yeah we're blood.

I know you got mine, too, so I
I just wanted to let you know, yeah?
It's alright, bro.
We're doing this life thing together.
Big I, Tizzy for life. No going back, bro.
Out there bro!
That's how you went to London without me.
Guy, why are you
still thinking about that?
At least you would
have put me inside a bag.
No. See? Don't worry, yeah?
There's still so
many places we could go to.
Take our babes, go on
vacations around the world.
Bro, take this music
everywhere, man. Everywhere.
Bro, there's a possibility
of things we could do.
Picture!
I need to find a babe first.
This guy! All those babes
chasing you around in school.
Bro, from faculty to faculty.
Bro, pick one.
See you can pick two,
but no, just pick one, bro.
Please, that's so funny.
Bro, please. I'm so not
concerned about girls right now.
But seriously, it'd be nice to,
you know, to go around the world.
I mean, like New York, Paris, London.
Bro, all over the world.
- Just calm, see eh?
- Man!
We're still going to see
all those places, we're still young.
We have our lives ahead of us, bro.
- Man, true that.
- Picture this.
Rapper, producer, civil engineer.
The man with the tallest
building in Port Harcourt!
Bro!
- Bro!
- I love that. Yes!
I mean, rapper, producer, geologist.
The man with the biggest
oil company in Port Harcourt!
Bro, man.
- Man, for real.
- We have our entire future ahead of us.
So many things
we are going to do together.
Yeah, so many things.
So many great things.
I'm happy I'm doing
this life thing with you.
Four days.
It has been four days.
We've waited for Uniport to do something.
Nothing.
We've waited for
the police to say something.
Nothing.
So
Greatest Nigeria students.
Great!
Are we also going to fold
our arms and do nothing?
No!
- No!
- We must fight.
Aku community will be forced
to the hard knowledge of the fact that
no one dares to kill unique and blessed
- Nigerian students and go scot free.
- Yes!
- Yes!
- No one.
No one.
Greatest Nigerian students.
Great!
We are going to move.
We're going to enter this community
- Yes!
- and show them
how we treat those
who treat us like criminals.
Yeah!
- Solidarity forever
- Solidarity forever
Solidarity for ever
We shall always fight for our right
I lost my cousin and friends
to senseless jungle justice.
They did not deserve that.
They were called
thieves and armed robbers.
Thieves?
Armed robbers?
Tizzy never stole anything in his life.
I was supposed to go with them that night.
But something came up and I couldn't.
Ever since then, every night
when I can't sleep, I ask myself
would it have been any different?
Would I have been able to stop them?
Probably not.
I would have been beaten
with sticks, rods, machetes.
A tire around my neck.
And fire set on my body.
How can I stay normal after all this?
How did all this happen?
Sometimes the madness is never rehearsed.
Yet it happens.
Probably somewhere near you
it has happened or it will happen.
Jungle justice is a dark beast
with no soul that needs to be taken down.
Whatever it is you can
do to stop jungle justice
Do it.

Okay, what's the plan?
First, I have to go get

Then my dad is dropping
my allowance soon, so we're good.
Wait. Wisdom?

Joshua, Why are you wasting our time?
Be patient.
Please, hurry it up.
Sir, hurry up. You're taking
forever on just one haircut. Ah!
This is how Mr. Joshua behaves every time.
- Calm down. Be patient.
- Bros,
see these little Uniport boys
walking around here like goats.
I've been telling you, these boys,
even with all their parent's money,
they have nothing to offer.
Don't mind them, that's how they
roam about aimlessly, stupid boys.
I will put hands
on them one day, they will see.
They haven't seen anything.
Mr. Joshua, hurry up.
Please, I'm coming.
Hurry up, so we can get out of here.
I'll get to you soon, so calm down.

I will break it.

Me? No, it's nothing like that my guy.
What exactly is it like?
Look, it's just,
I haven't been around lately.
No. Guy, what are you talking about?
What do you mean by
you haven't been around lately?
- Be chill.
- Don't we see you? What are you...
Don't say that to us.
- We are not kids here.
- Relax, don't talk like that.
What I want you
to say right now is "here is your money".
I mean, guy, stop playing games.
Do you have Tizzy's money or not?
We are waiting.
Don't rush me.
Rush you?
When am I getting my money, man?
I told you that
everything he's doing is nonsense.
You're telling me, okay,
you're telling someone
not to rush you, right?
When you are the one owing him.
When are you going to pay him the money?
Don't smile at me. What is
wrong with him? Please, leave me.
Don't smile at me.
When are you going to give him his money?
What is all this nonsense?
And if I don't drop it?
You won't because you can't!
Really?
- Yo, chill. Eh.
- Yo!
Hey.
Stop.
Come Friday.
What?
Come on Friday and get your money.
Friday?
Yeah. Friday.
What time?
Uh
- Two, from two...
- Wisdom, what time?
Three o'clock.
Wait, you just said two right now.
- See guy, don't get it twisted.
- Just wait.
- You better give our guy his money.
- Chill.
Where?
- I've been telling you he's acting like
- My house. I'll always be home.
Wisdom, you said it.
Three p.m. Friday. Your house.
Have my money when I come for it.
Please, no jokes.
- I got you my guy. Don't worry.
- I'm not your guy.
Ah.
He thinks we're joking with him,
that's why he's acting this way.
I told you, you are too soft on him.
Someone whose head
I can break with a bottle right now.
- What kind of nonsense is this?
- Don't stress about it. Just leave him be.
What kind of nonsense is this?
It's clear he is fooling you.
Looks a lot like he's fooling you.
Guys, we just have to find out on Friday.
Let's go.
- Tizzy, Wisdom is playing you, I swear.
- Maybe.
What are you saying?
Like, what are you saying?
What you mean maybe? The guy is playing...
Like, it's clearly obvious
that this guy is playing you.
You keep acting
like a fool, I don't get why.
See, look, I feel like, see,
we need to go block him at home.
Like early morning things.
Like what time?
By five a.m. we should be there.
- Guy, before he wakes, obviously.
- Wisdom is a Hyena.
That guy never sleeps.
Guy, if we go at five a.m.,
we'll catch him.
- What are you saying?
- We'll catch him, bro.
You, what are you saying?
- Like...
- Okay.
- What if he doesn't have the money?
- What are you saying now?
Why will you say Wisdom
does not have the money?
It's clearly obvious
this guy has the money.
He is just playing this guy.
He wants him to do his worst.
And you keep acting like a fool.
See, I can do my worst.
I can actually do my worst
and he won't like it.
Do it! Do it so he knows.
Wisdom is a hitman for the Southside boys.
He holds their bag. What are you saying?
You have started telling tales. Hitman?
I don't care what he is.
I actually don't care.
He has to give me my money.
What we did was business.
Look, Tizzy, you guys, if you're down
with this yeah, let's go to his house.
- It's Wisdom now. Block him...
- Wait. Big I, Listen.
- This is how we are going to do it.
- Wait!
They are playing
your song! Can't you hear?
Increase the volume!
This song is going to beat
"Ghost Mode" hands down.
Wait, you people have started again.
- I'm on your side for sure but...
- What do you mean we've started again?
- It will beat "Ghost Mode".
- I'm on your side, but you can't.
- It's us now.
- We'll beat him!
You guys are funny. Even this song, this
this "Anam Achi Kwanu" song
cannot beat "Ghost Mode".
- What is this guy saying?
- You realize that you are my guy?
You guys are comparing
"Ghost Mode" to your song?
You don't know anything about music.
- Take a book.
- Go and read it.
- Sir K!
- Hey! Morning!
- What's up? What's going on?
- We're good sir.
Guys, I just heard you guys'
vibe on that Timi's new song.
You guys did so well. You killed it!
- You guys are doing well.
- Sir K,
we need to get our own joint out there,
you understand?
We need to get our own jam.
True, that's the spirit,
that's the spirit, you understand?
I have been waiting to see
you guys but, what happened?
I didn't see you guys again.
School work, honestly.
But right now, we're ready.
- Are you sure you guys are ready?
- We are sure now.
If you're ready I'm ready.
So let's see.
But, there's a thing though.
You have to give us a cut on the session.
We want to pay half first.
Guys,
actually you understand
that this is business. You understand?
Based on you guys are good,
and I want to associate with you people,
I can't split the mastering
and production money,
but for the session,
I'll see what I can do about it.
You understand?
But as it is now,
I'm fully engaged, I'm fully hooked up.
There's nothing I can do. You understand?
This particular jam
will be out in the next three weeks.
I give you my word.
Sir K, we actually
need it before October 11th.
October 11th you say?
Yeah, It's Student's Union Week
and we need to get it out before then.
Based on young talent
let me see what I can do.
- Sir K!
- You understand?
So how is everything? How is school?
Ah, school is school, Sir K, but
You're too much.
- What? Tamuno, leave my bag.
- Wait, sis.
- What's up?
- Eh, go!
My man, how are you?
- Man, pretty tired.
- I'll not wait for you.
- Wait now, let me say hi to my guys.
- Hi guys.
- Good evening.
- Bola.
- Good evening.
- Leonard.
- Don't say that again.
- Be chill.
Don't say don't...
Guy, chill.
This boy.
You are always walking around with
your sister. Where are you going to?
My provision is finished.
I want to collect money.
By the way we made
a banger with Sir K today.
- Bro!
- My man! You'll get to hear it later.
- I'll catch up later.
- Alright man.
- Babe.
- Mm-hm?
- Do you know yeah,
- Mm-hm?
I never thought I could do well
in that Petrology test. Stupid course.
That old lecturer.
He's always mumbling in class.
See, the only time
you can hear what he's saying
is only when he is in a class test.
Can you imagine?
He said limestone and
magma are igneous rocks.
Limestone.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock.
But he said limestone is an igneous rock.
Nope, he didn't.
I bet you were
watching that Lola girl again
when that was being discussed.
What Lola girl?
Ask me again.
Anyway, I'm just telling you
what I heard him say in class.
See, babe, it's actually in my notes.
These lecturers are just
way too old to still be teaching.
You so obviously didn't hear him well.
Okay. What about the test, mm?
I got marked wrong when I wrote
that nematodes are
infrequently fossilized.
Can you defend them on that too?
All minuscule invertebrates
are infrequently fossilized.
Okay.
So are nematodes
minuscule invertebrates or not?
Sorry guys, I had
to go to church with my mom.
Good boy.
Mommy's church boy.
Please, shut up. Are you ready?
Ah-ah, you guys won't wait to eat?
Oh no, don't worry,
we will eat when we come back.
Why don't you call him first?
I've been calling him,
but he's not picking my calls,
he's not replying my texts.
Tizzy, at this point I have to ask.
Do you think this guy
is not messing around with us?
I think we just have to go and find out.
Babe, don't worry yeah,
when we come back we'll eat.
Okay.
Save some for us.
Hurry up guy.
Alright.
- Catch you later.
- Be good.
Why do I have a lot
of roasted plantain here?
Please, you guys, come.
Are you Uniport students?
Uh, yes, ma.
We came to look for our friend,
Wisdom. He stays at number nine.
He asked us to come.
Okay. It's not been up to one hour since
I saw somebody from
their compound pass this way.
Please how much is your roasted plantain?
It's 200 each.
Give us two please.
Do you live in this town?
No, ma. We stay in the hostel, PG hostel.
Look, let me tell you guys,
I'm just seeing that you people
don't know what is going on in this town.
This town is on top alert.
Because some bad boys
come here to attack and rob people.
And people are on the look out for them.
So, if you don't live here
just buy this food and leave.
- Yes, ma.
- They are arresting people anyhow
- in this town now.
- Hello?
- Thank you ma.
- What happened?
Should I add pepper?
Come!
Are you not buying the food again?
Hey bro, I'm looking for Wisdom.
Hi.
Wisdom.
- Is this guy joking?
- This guy better not be playing games.
Wisdom.
- Bro, for real.
- Wisdom!
Bro,
this guy is playing.
I feel like we shouldn't
even be here at this point.
Hello, sister, well done.
What kind of boys are these?
Hello? Come.
Are you looking
for anybody around this area?
Yes, sir. We are looking for
Wisdom at number nine.
Have you called him on the phone?
Sir, I called him but
his number is not going through.
Elder,
these are just young boys.
Is it not young boys
that went to rob Gbega's shop?
And they still raped his daughter.
Before they did the robbery
they came like a day before,
to check the whole area.
That's what I heard.
I heard they caught one of them.
An ex-militant that
escaped from the Amnesty camp.
We caught them.
- Eh, you caught them?
- We caught them.
But these ones, they are students,
they came looking
for their friend here, from Uniport.
Their fellow students?
Yes.
Won't you carry your food again?
Today's market very bad.
Well first,
let this guy
finish cooking this single, bro.
Imagine this single is done,
we're out there performing, studio, shows.
That even reminds me.
Wisdom is still
flexing with on campus, guy.
And he's telling
you nonsense about your money.
Bro, Wisdom is taking me for an idiot.
This guy is forming hard guy
for me on top of my own money.
You are the one fumbling.
Hold on,
how many pairs
of sneakers did you even sell to him?
15. 15 sneakers and jeans too.
See, I gave him
a discount on the one I sold to him.
Then I was expecting
after sales I would probably
give him like a commission for helping me.
See sneakers, jeans, my money, nothing.
I've seen literally nothing.
Bro, this thing is blowing my head.
Wait,
Ben even told me it looks like the fool
has been spending money lately.
And he is still doing
Look, see guy, Ben said if we go
to his house, five a.m., we'll see him.
The thing is, the only
issue is that, that their community
is scary, it's dangerous.
But look, if we go
with small security, we'll be okay.
I know a guy that can go with us.
Who?
One Gabriel guy. He owes me a favor.
See, guy, I'm telling you,
if Wisdom sees this guy
he won't be messing up, trust me.
Have you discussed with the Gabriel guy?
I'll talk to him tomorrow.
Alright. See, just talk to him,
then let me know what he says.
- Cool?
- I got you.
Bro, I don't need
this Wisdom guy to kill my vibe.
I can't wait for what
this guy's doing, bro. Ah!
Hello.
Hello.
Mommy.
Hello, son. How are you?
Have you gotten those textbooks
you needed in school
or do I get them here?
Oh, no, you can get it there.
I was going to
You were going to what?
Where are you?
Are you not in school?
I'm with Tizzy.
What are you guys doing?
We just went to get something to eat.
There is no food on campus now?
Listen, son,
I don't want you outside
school for no good reason.
You really need to
pay attention to your education.
Your test week is coming up.
Your education comes first
before every other thing.
Including this music thing
you're always running
around with your friend.
Do you understand?
Yes, mom.
Fine.
Get back to school and call me
when you get there. Okay?
Yes, mom.
Bro, all these adults...
Bro, all these adults
stressing about school, like
- we already on it. Just calm down.
- Guy, I don't even know.
- Ah-ah. School all the time.
- School. Books.
This here is my calling!
Bro, what's that thing? That new thing?
- Reverb.
- Yeah. Bro, add it.
- He knows his work.
- No, bro,
I'm just so excited
about this whole thing.
Like imagine this single comes out
and we start performing in school,
we go to radio stations
- All the girls will know who we are.
- Ooh, you know!
Bro I can't wait.
This is my friend that I told you about.
You know, I already explained
to you on the phone what it's all about.
We just want
to go the guy's house. That's it.
Don't worry. See, Wisdom is a bastard.
I can do it. At least for you.
You know you helped me with that exam.
- It's time to pay you back.
- Oh yeah, true.
Told you guy, we'll be alright.
- We'll talk, we'll confirm on the phone.
- No problem, we'll talk on the phone.
How are you? Capo?
That Wisdom matter,
I think I just got a solution to it.
I have a solution
to it right now. I'm telling you.
What is this
solution you found? Tell us here.
Number one, some boy came to me.
Yes.
What boy?
He's a young sharp blood
in my class. He's a rapper.
Wisdom bought sneakers
from his friend and has refused to pay.
Can you imagine?
Capo, this thing
looks like an opportunity.
It could be a setup too.
Who are these boys really?
Just some small boys.
They just finished Year one with us.
They just want to get their money.
It's not a setup.
How did Wisdom start
owing them this money?
The boy went to London,
bought stuffs, like bought things.
Wisdom then collected sneakers,
from the friend.
They just want me to go and
collect the money from Wisdom.
That's all. It's not a setup.
Well, you are going
if it is okay with you.
Capo, Wisdom is on our list.
And this matter can be war.
Capo, this thing can cause war.
What kind of war?
What is causing war?
Small boys just want to
get their money. Please.
Gabriel, you want to do this?
I'll go.
Well, I subscribe.
Give him the gun.
Give it to him.
Keep it well.
Gabriel, you know the rules.
Be very careful.
Be very careful.
Capo, I will see you.
So guys, this Wisdom thing.
See, Wisdom cannot fight us.
He can.
He can't beat us.
What are you saying?
Okay, what if he has a gun?
A gun? Did you just say a gun?
I have already told you people
not to be listening to what this boy says.
Hear the nonsense he is saying.
Guys,
what are you saying?
Don't you understand?
That guy is dangerous.
Wisdom is a hitman for the Southside Boys.
- The Southside Boys!
- And so?
So that one now means he has a gun?
Obviously!
See, bro, we are not
going to fight Wisdom.
We're just going
to get my money and leave.
What do you do when he fights?
We will beat him. Is he mad?
He can't fight the four of us.
- Five of us.
- Five.
Bro, see, even if he has a gun
is he going to shoot me
because I came to collect my money?
For a business we did?
Wisdom is dangerous,
that is what I'm trying to say.
What you are saying right now,
you are sounding like a coward.
In fact, that's what you are.
You are a coward.
Guy, don't say that again, please.
- It's not about that.
- You are talking like a fool.
- You don't have to come if you are afraid.
- Guy don't say,
- Tamuno, don't say that again.
- No, stop.
- Coward.
- I say...
- Guys.
- What's the meaning of that?
Hey, chill. See,
you guys shouldn't be fighting.
But you were there
when he was calling me a coward!
You shouldn't have called him a coward.
-Don't say that.
- You shouldn't have called him a coward.
- Hear the nonsense he's talking about.
That's wrong bro. That's wrong.
- Chill. Please, just chill out.
- Just relax.
Let's focus guys.
Bro, I'll talk to him.
Guy you shouldn't have done that.
- Can't you hear what he is saying.
- Calm down, guy.
Are you supposed to reply him like that?
You always like to fight.
- Me, I like to fight?
- You always like to fight.
Is it not because
you want to collect money?
Be chill.
Don't do that my guy.
Quiet! It's alright sir.
It's alright. Quiet!
Hold on. Quiet please.
Okay.
Okay!
- Quiet!
- The Chief has spoken!
If I hear anything
from any mouth again now,
I will send that mouth out!
I'll send the person out of this place.
Asari.
My Chief.
Your family cannot decide
who will cut
the banana leaf from the groove.
Sure.
Okay?
My Chief.
I'm listening.
I salute you.
The problem
is from the boys from the Amnesty camp.
They are thieves!
They will sneak out in the night
or early in the morning,
enter town,
go commit atrocities and problems.
Before you know it,
they have sneaked back to their camp.
I've discussed this
with the DPO.
You understand me?
And we have discussion, good discussion
that they will call another meeting
where all of us will meet
and discuss the way out.
My Chief.
Another meeting?
The meetings we have done before,
what has happened?
The boys we caught before
and gave to police where are they?
And we are talking of another meeting.
We cannot allow
criminals to overrun our lands.
And also not allow our people,
lawlessness amongst our people.
That is my stand.
Let the police do their job. Right?
- Let the police do their job!
- True.
We caught these boys
and gave them to the police.
My Chief,
within one week they are back.
And when they come back
they commit more atrocities.
There is a skeleton in the cupboard.
- A skeleton in the cupboard.
- Yes, something is fishy
- somewhere.
- Yes.
We will do our job.
And let the police
do their own.
What we will do more is to obey the law.
Exactly.
And not beat the law.
My Chief,
the police, they are not helping matters.
- That's it.
- They are not.
The police, they are not helping matters.
How?
As you know, we have been
cooperating with the police.
The big problem now is,
is the police ready to cooperate with us?
- No.
- That's the problem.
Yes, sir.
Okay sir.
Yes, first thing
tomorrow morning, I'll be there.
Okay.
Say what you want to say.
Stop hassling me.
Say what you want to say.
What's up?
What's wrong with you
that you're acting as if
Okay, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said what I said earlier.
He is playing hard to get?
It's okay, guy.
- Guys.
- Alright then,
what's the plan for tomorrow?
So, guys, Chibuzo is not coming.
Ah-ah.
Why now? I thought we've settled already.
Well, he's got to be at
his IT place first thing tomorrow morning
or they will sack him.
Man, guy, that sack
uh, threat, I can't risk it and
my father is going to kill me.
You and your old man.
And you don't even
give us money from the IT job.
- Did you do the work with me?
- Bro!
Tomorrow
Don't stress, guy,
we'll collect that money.
And we'll make more bangers with Sir K.
Don't play with me, bro. Ah-ah.
- I'm alright. Better still... No.
- Your phone.
Hello, mom.
No, mom I didn't see
- Chill, it's my mom, relax.
- Sorry.
Mommy, ah. Mom, wait...
We have classes by eight a.m. tomorrow.
So what... Right after the class
I'll come home.
I promise.
Yeah, mom.
Take care.
Bye.
Love you.
Okay. Yes mom, bye.
So
I thought you're going to see
Wisdom with your friends tomorrow?
Oh, yeah, we are. But this is the thing.
I found out we have classes
tomorrow morning so, we just have
to do it quickly,
then run back to like home. Do you get?
Okay.
Yo! How are you doing, man. What's good?
- Sweetheart.
- Hey.
- How are you?
- I'm good.
What's happening, man?
You look really tired. Hope you're good.
Oh, that's true. Rachel is
looking for you. Yeah, she's inside.
Yeah.
Look at this guy.
Ah, my favorite guy.
Bad guy, what's happening?
You're always like this.
Okay, what's the plan for tomorrow?
Oh, yeah, guy. So, early,
like we said, max five a.m.
I'm sure he'll still be at home by then.
See Wisdom, get my money, get out.
That's the plan.
Are you listening?
What of this Gabriel guy?
Oh, yeah. He's going to
meet us here tomorrow morning, so
This is where you guys are.
I was looking around for you.
How are you doing, brother?
- How are you?
- I'm alright.
- Baby girl, you don't want to greet me?
- Hi.
What's going on? What's up?
You guys still going to
Wisdom's place tomorrow?
Yeah.
Let me join you guys.
You know if I am there then
I mean, no problem,
but like, we're going very early.
- That is not a problem.
- Like five a.m.
- Even if it's four a.m. I'm ready.
- No problem.
I'm telling you. Trust me.
But, guys, there's
a thing on my mind, though.
Can we trust Gabriel?
Look, you can trust me.
Do you get? Bro, see
I feel like Don't be bothered, guy.
See, Gabriel is going
to bring bikes from town for us.
So don't worry yourself, guy.
- We're going to get this money.
- I'm just having this tingling feeling.
Bro, go and meet Rachel.
Tingling feeling, which tingling feeling?
Lover boy.
Get out of here, man.
Sorry bro.
Babe, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
See, I'm sorry. This Wisdom thing,
planning and everything. I'm sorry.
It's fine.
I told you not to sell
those trainers to Wisdom.
Right now, I wish I listened to you.
I didn't know that guy is such an ass.
Tizzy, what's up?
- Bro, what's good?
- Everything's okay.
Now, what if he doesn't
give you the money tomorrow?
He doesn't have a choice.
Everybody has a choice.
He will drop the money. Believe me.
When I'm back,
we can do the library thing.
When are you guys coming back?
It's not a party, cut in,
cut out, chop chop. And we're done.
As soon as we're done,
I'll give you a call.
Please be careful.
Oh, we're not going to war.
Those people are crazy.
They don't like anyone
that is not from their town.
I know. I know they don't.
But see, we're just going to see
Wisdom and get my money.
I'll be down at
the reference section in case you try my
number and it's off.
Just come there straight, mm.
Alright. See, the thing now is,

You got me on that.

I didn't ask you to come today.
You didn't ask me to come today.
All the time you asked me
to come you were nowhere to be found.
Guy, I'm not here for any jokes.

What's wrong with these boys?
You think you can just

You are thieves!
Criminals!
I have to take them with me to the Chief.
Come here,

Sit down there. Go that way.
You people have to stay until daybreak.
When the Chief wakes up,
he will determine your fate.
Sir, we didn't steal anything.
We are not thieves.
Sir, we are students
We are not thieves, sir.
- We are not thieves.
- Okay, calm down.
Just calm down and remain here.
Your fate will be determined by the Chief.
You know what's pissing me off?
All of you are just quiet.
You think we will escape this thing?
What are you saying? We will leave here.
You don't know these people.
They are wicked.
These people are wicked.
You don't know them.
What are you saying?
Can they be more wicked than witches?
When day breaks

and realize we are students, please.
ChiBoy, please stop crying.

We'll tell the Chief
we're students and we are not thieves
and he will set us free. Please.
Oh, Tizzy. Tizzy, are you

Tizzy, you don't know what you're saying.
Yeah, yes I am.
See, guys
I'm really very sorry
I brought you guys into this.
I'm really sorry this is happening.
And I promise you guys,
day is breaking soon.
Once day breaks, Wisdom
will tell them we're students
and they will set us free.
Please guys. Please.
Big L. Okay?
Wait, I don't even
I don't understand. This one is crying,
that one is sitting down like
and you are giving a motivational speech.
Oh, please, ah.
- Guys, let's just stay strong.
- Don't touch me.
- Guys.
- Don't touch me.
- Stop crying near me.
- Guy, say something.
Say something bro.
I have messed up.
It's okay guys.
Did you guys steal? Are you guys thieves?
Did you steal anything?
- Can you hear what this guy is saying?
- What are you saying?
Are we not in a cell?
- Please don't cry in my ear.
- Are we not in a cell?
Don't people get out of cells?
- What are you saying?
- We are in this together.
I am the one who came out.
I am the one who followed you people.
ChiBoy, stop.
I know I brought you guys into this,
but I promise we are leaving here.
We're not thieves, we're students.
The Chief is up and waiting.
But let me warn you,
the people outside there are angry.
- They are very angry. So you have to...
- Get up!
Get them!
- Kill them!
- Kill them!
- Quiet!
- Hey!
Shut up!
Aboli, what is the matter?
What is the matter?
We have caught armed robbers as usual.
They are thieves!
Chief, they said they are students.
That they came to collect
money their friend owes them.
Did you check out their ID cards
to know whether they are students?
- They had nothing!
- Yes.
Even the four that escaped
had guns and they were shooting at us.
It's true!
I did not see them with IDs
and I did not see them with guns.
They told me that
someone collected their IDs.
Though some people said
that they heard some gunshots.
- No sir! Sir!
- Keep quiet.
They had no IDs. They had nothing!
- Who did they rob?
- But sir!
- We are not armed robbers sir!
- Keep quiet.
Sir we are not armed robbers!
We came to collect my money from Wisdom!
- Keep quiet.
- We are before the Chief.
- You are a criminal.
- Keep quiet.
Criminals!
Now, who is Wisdom?
Chief, they said
he lives at Coca-Cola road.
Now, where is he? Who is that Wisdom?
Have you gone to check out the Wisdom?
No, but we can do it now.
What if you go there

Red-handed.
The armed robbers stole
someone's phone and laptop,
and they also shot someone.

those boys from the amnesty camp.
Rapists and robbers.
They rape?
Yes, they do virtually everything.

At least you would

No. See? Don't worry, yeah?
There's still so
many places we could go to.
Take our babes, go on

of things we could do.
Picture!

See you can pick two,
but no, just pick one, bro.
Please, that's so funny.
Bro, please. I'm so not
concerned about girls right now.
But seriously, it'd be nice to,
you know, to go around the world.
I mean, like New York, Paris, London.
Bro, all over the world.

We're still going to see
all those places, we're still young.
We have our lives ahead of us, bro.

the police to say something.
Nothing.

We shall always fight for our right
I lost my cousin and friends
to senseless jungle justice.
They did not deserve that.
They were called
thieves and armed robbers.
Thieves?
Armed robbers?
Tizzy never stole anything in his life.
I was supposed to go with them that night.
But something came up and I couldn't.
Ever since then, every night
when I can't sleep, I ask myself
would it have been any different?
Would I have been able to stop them?
Probably not.
I would have been beaten
with sticks, rods, machetes.
A tire around my neck.
And fire set on my body.
How can I stay normal after all this?
How did all this happen?
Sometimes the madness is never rehearsed.
Yet it happens.
Probably somewhere near you
it has happened or it will happen.
Jungle justice is a dark beast
with no soul that needs to be taken down.
Whatever it is you can
do to stop jungle justice
Do it.
