Finding Hubby (2020) Movie Script
0
My name is Oyin Clegg
I am 35, I have a great job...
I'm not married
and no, there is
absolutely nothing wrong with me.
In fact, I am actually quite desirable
if I say so myself.
I take it you like them?
They're beautiful.
Not as beautiful as you are
I...
Sorry
Hello
So, why am I not married?
- Hello
- Hey Princess! How are you?
Good.
You didn't respond to my messages all day.
Hmm-nn
Sorry. Full day.
But you read all the messages.
You could have at least replied
Uh...
Anyway, are you going out this evening?
No.
I... I have a wedding tomorrow.
So I'm going to I'm going to rest.
Ok. I'll buy dinner and come over
Er, you can't do that. I
Tonight is the bridal shower
and it's happening at my place.
Oh!
I'll see you
after the wedding tomorrow then
Call me before heading out.
Goodnight, love.
Mm hm
Really.
Why am I not married yet?
Maybe because
like all fairytale princesses
I want the perfect prince.
Jazz man
Are you back Mr Joseph
I have not danced enough
I have not retired
Anyday I can entertain you on the MIC
I will entertain you till I
Rest in peace
Thats right
Stop if you cant dance
Dance with some swag
Hey you shake your body
For the busybodies
She danced the best
Bubble and keep bubbling
Haters can hate
My people
Throw your hands in the air
Raise the roof
Raise the roof roof roof
Exactly!
Babes, can you get off
the phone so we can go?
- Okay. I'll look through the documents
- Real diamond earrings!
Girl, where did you get this from?
What?
- Aunty, I'm not broke now.
- Uhhhh!
- OK, so where did you get them from?
- OK, fine.
Ossy got them for me
on his last business trip.
Ooh. Tell me exactly why
you refuse to date this guy?
Oyin, science student says that
they don't have chemistry.
They better have reserved our table
I don't even want to hear stories tonight.
- Hey, Madam.
- Hey na, how far na?
You don show, welcome
Honey!
I told you to wait up.
Oh! sorry babe.
I ran into an old friend, Oyin Clegg.
This is my 'special' friend Tara Cole.
It's nice to meet you, dear.
- Come on babe, let's get out of here
- OK.
See you around.
Excuse me! Move!
Calm down! Calm down, Oyin.
The stupid girl actually called
me "dear."
I hate that thing.
- Am I her mate?
- She's pained
She's really pained.
Did you notice the
difference in introduction?
The guy was like "meet Oyin Clegg"
my friend and then meet Tara Cole
"my very special friend."
I understand how you feel.
But the name's kinda nice, though.
- Yeah,
- Ehn, it's OK.
Ach! God Punish Kalu.
Eh eh, what do you mean?
I thought it was the phone selection thing
you do, that he did right back to you.
Mm hm!
Okay, to understand what's going on here,
let me give you some perspective...
So, sometimes when I'm bored
and I really need to get some
I do the phone select.
I scroll through my contact list.
And eliminate men
based on certain criteria.
What you want is a no strings attached guy
Who will not interpret a night together
as an invitation to
a long term relationship
So you cancel out the fervent toasters
and settle down kind of guys.
Then you eliminate those who are in
places so far,
it requires too much effort to see.
Is this one a joker?
Please, I am not the one
that sent you on transfer to Bodija.
All the way in Ibadan?
When I finally make my choice
I put a call through
drop a few hints and hope he catches on.
If he doesn't, I
round the conversation off
and move on to
the next until I hit the jackpot
This was the rigorous screening process
I had to put Kalu through.
But sometimes,
even proven strategies fail.
After a couple of nights together.
Things changed.
Kalu became clingy, annoying and intrusive
Clingy Kalu indeed.
With friends like you guys
who needs enemies?
And just so we are clear,
I can get a guy as
easily as Kalu got that... girl.
- Oh really?
- Hmm-mm!
So, let's have a bet then
You get a guy as hot as the babe Kalu got.
Hotter!
And if you do, I'll trade you
My new Chanel bag
that Kelvin is getting for me next week.
Come to the asking.
Wait, how are you and Kelvin coping
with this long distance relationship?
- We are managing.
- So, wait...
What's in it for you?
Because the Gloria I know,
does not just give up designer bags.
Let's see
Hmmm...
the Louboutins that Ossy got for you.
- You are a thief. This girl is a thief.
- But it's nice now!
Well except of course,
if you cannot get
the hot guy we talked about.
- I can and I will.
- OK.
- Cool!
- Let's make a deal.
- Deal, deal.
- Ah-ah!
Game on!
What's wrong with this one?
Who is that?
Look at this monkey.
Fried chicken.
Animal.
- Fried Turkey
- Nonsense
Uh!
Where's this bartender?
- I know. He's cute.
- Yeah!
Yeah, he is.
Okay
Look at him.
How am I doing?
You good girl.
- How are the girls?
- You got it
Perfect!
Just go already.
I'll be back.
- Ossy!
- Oyin!
How are you?
You are... here.
Yeah, I came to have fun like you guys.
Errm... actually
- So
- I I need to actually say hi to a friend.
You know what, come and
hang out with the girls
Drink, sit down, have fun.
I'll have a good time.
Ossy. Come on in.
- Hey!
- How are you doing my man?
How are you girls doing?
Not bad at all.
Hmmm. Such strong arms.
That's it!
A man of few words who knows exactly what
he wants. Love it.
Changing this, we don't want it.
What are you drinking?
- Ossy
- Yeah
Focus! Focus!
- I'm here.
- What's up? Come on, do something.
Guys, excuse me.
Hi, cutie!
So how have you been?
- Ossy!
- Yeah.
How are you doing? Focus now.
- Drink something.
- I'm good
No, I'm I'm okay
You sure?
I can feel it in my bones.
This is going to be the best night ever!
I was just coming to your office
after I had my morning coffee.
Make it later. I have a
meeting in five.
Uhhhm.
Sorry I didn't respond to your voice note.
Did you even listen to it?
Good morning ladies
I'll see you later.
You look so pretty today.
Put your eyes back in your head.
Let's get this meeting started.
Good morning.
Aw! Look at that! Uh, my ovaries!
Na wa o
So oppression has
moved from Valentine's day
to children's day.
Good morning everyone.
Morning!
How many of you have
heard about the Kester-Jacobs
Corporation?
Real Estate, Hospitality
business and a growing FMCG line.
Plus interest in fashion and lifestyle.
Bottom line,
They are a big deal
and we have
an opportunity to grab a big piece of it.
They are accepting bids
to cater to their Oil & Gas Services
for every single
one of their subsidiaries.
We will do everything
in our power to ensure that
our bid is the winning bid.
This is the guy we will be dealing with.
Him?
He is so young.
That is Yomi Kester-Jacobs.
The heir to the Kester Jacobs dynasty.
His father has gone
MIA for the last two years
following an unfortunate copter crash.
Well, rumour has it
he lives in London with his wife.
They don't attend any social gatherings.
No visitors... except family of course.
Is he a vegetable?
I'm just wondering since
he doesn't accept visitors.
Well rumour also has it that
he does his board meetings via phone.
So no, he is not a vegetable.
Or, the PR team is really good and they're
spreading these rumours intentionally.
Rumour or no rumour,
this is the guy we are dealing with.
Hm?
I've had the marketing department draw up
a mock pitch for them.
Are we all clear?
Yes.
Good!
And now for some good news.
The Save Our Planet
campaign board in New York
was very impressed
with our CSR project and
they have sent glowing recommendations
to members of the team.
I also want to specially
appreciate Ms Clegg here,
for bringing up
the idea and running with it.
For Ms Clegg.
In addition to that
They have also opened up a slot
in their team lead building workshop
for one of the staff from this company.
And it's lovely stuff.
Ah...
As much as I would
want you to attend, Ms Clegg.
I am sorry, you can't.
Why not?
I need you here.
I can't trust anyone else
with All Things renewable project.
It's right around the corner
and I need you here to handle it.
Desmond will go in your stead.
Good! Now, are there any other
pending issues?
Now everybody get back to work.
Ughh!
It's all wash. Let me tell you.
The unofficial reason they don't want you
to go is because you're not married.
- What?
- Yeah.
Do you remember Francesca?
The one the company sent to that trip in
Atlanta
for training?
She never came back.
That thing she did made
the company come to the conclusion
that it's because she's not married
and she has no ties here
and no reason to come back
This is ridiculous.
I know.
But the company
rules are the company rules.
It's not fair.
I worked hard on that project.
It was my baby, my idea.
- And now I
- Oyin, I'm sorry
- Hello Mummy.
- Oyinlola.
You see what I've been telling you?
Mummy, what are you talking about?
What have you been telling me?
Oyinlola Clegg! Get Married!
Mummy.
It's just morning or is it not
too early for this kind of conversation?
When I called
you yesterday, did you take my call?
- I was busy.
- Ehn-ehn!
And I I'm busy now and
I am not really in a good mood.
Ehnehn? Good! I'm about to make
your day worse.
Adebisi is getting married
- What?!
- Oho you heard me right
Your school daughter that we asked
you to take care of in Queens College.
She is getting married! I have
her aso-ebi right here in my hand.
Oyinlola.
Why are you hell bent on shaming
this family?
Mummy, I don't like
what you are saying.
Is it my fault I'm still single?
Whose fault is it?
Oyin.
Please, what is the problem?
Just tell me Is
it that the men are not coming?
They are
Then what is the problem?
They're not men I want to marry.
I come against every curse upon your life.
Mummy, I'm not cursed.
That's now what I meant
I am just saying
that this thing might be spiritual
and we might need to
pray and fast to break it.
Your eyes need to open
to see all the available men.
Mummy, I don't need all
the available men. I need just one.
I know. I know. But...
Ma, we are ready.
OK
Mummy, I'm... busy at the moment
and I even had to step out of
a meeting to take your call,
so I have to go.
OK, I have to be in
court as well, but you know
all things need prayers, good
or bad
When was the last time you were in church?
It's been a while. I've been busy.
You see?
You see!
You cannot be too busy for
the one who will answer your prayers.
You cannot be too busy for God.
I want to see you in church
this Sunday. D'you understand?
Yes Mummy, I have heard.
Thank you. Talk to you later. Bye.
That was long. What's going on?
Hmmm
Debisi is getting married.
Which Debisi? Debisi your school daughter?
Wow!
Yes, wow!
My mum is freaking
out, maybe I should be too.
Seems like just yesterday I
was walking her to class after assembly.
Oyin, we are getting old.
Yes, we are.
Come in.
Ah! My favourite ladies.
Aww Oyin, are you feeling blue?
New York, New York!
I know green is your favourite colour.
So, I promise to buy you a nice
green dress
- As a present on my way back...
- Get out of my office.
Get out of my office!
If you insist.
Argh! Argh! Ahhhh!
I would have preferred anybody, anybody
else!
- People can hear you...
- I don't care!
You know what? Woo! I need to go.
I need to clear my head.
Please. Please.
Arrgghh!
Hello, Gloria.
Is everything OK? Who is upset?
Ah OK. In that case, let's meet up
at our usual spot for lunch.
My treat, my treat
Ok and make sure you drag Oyin along,
we'll find out what's up. Yeah? Alright.
Talk to you later. Bye.
Are... you Okay?
How did you know I would be here?
Let's just say I know you well.
You're the only person I know
who enjoys the sound of
a printer buzzing in their ears.
It helps me relax.
I know.
Besides, it's not the first time you've
come here to clear your head
Which is kind of one of the reasons
I've had maintenance
not throw this printer out.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Get them to let me go for the training.
Er Anything but that.
Oyin look, the orders came from way up.
You know, this is sexual and marital
marginalization and discrimination.
And I can sue the company for that.
Well, yes you could, but they'll deny it
and you really can't prove anything
at the moment.
It's just not fair!
Is there anything else I can do to help?
Oyin, but really sha,
what's wrong with you?
This is a hundred
yards of husband material
uggh, but he doesn't give me
butterflies in my tummy
or make me giddy with excitement
Yeah, I know,
it sounds silly to some of you
but this woman wants what she wants.
I'll be fine.
Uhhm, one more thing
Would it be a bad time
to ask you to be my date
for my cousin's pool party.
Which is in like three weeks?
Yes.
Yes?
Well I tried. At least I made you smile.
Thank you.
Please let him know I'm here. Thank you.
Alright Babe.
I'll talk to you later.
Err Babe?
Err Did you not just hang out with this
guy on Friday?
Oh please stop abeg. Is
that not Desmond's wife?
Desmond Desmond Alaba?
Yeah
- Are you sure?
- Ahnahn!
One hundred percent!
You know what? Just
play along. Just play along.
Just be a second, then you come
- Ah, babe!
- Hmm?
How far Desmond now?
- Which Desmond?
- Ah-ah!
How many Desmonds are in
this office? Desmond Alaba now!
Oh! That one, What about him?
Is he still trying to date you?
Is there anybody
Desmond is not trying to date?
Uhhh..
You know he was even trying
to date one of my other friends?
Are you serious?
As serious as a heart attack.
I'm not surprised.
Are you sure it's the same
Desmond, that drives the red car?
Yes! You know since you did
not give him the green light,
he moved on to the next
available ride.
Rubbish! Anyway
Hmmmn
I turned down all his stupid
advances. I mean the guy is married so
shhhsh
He obviously has no respect for his wife.
You should hear how
he talks about her, calls her stupid,.
Unintelligent, ugly.
- Oh, my!
- She is a horrible dresser
Desmond!
Desmond!!
Hey baby, you look
You bastard
You guys are mean!
Oh my gosh, I'm sure
that guy is in so much trouble right now.
I'm counting on it.
Stupid man! Instead of him to be
doing his work,
he's in the office,
busy toasting women up and down.
You know
I actually don't feel so bad
about him taking my
place for the training anymore.
- You are so mean
- Too mean!
I swear, so mean anyway speaking of mean.
Guess who called me
before you guys walked in?
- Who?
- Roti Serrano.
As in Moroti, Queens College?
Yup. Anyway, she goes
by the name Moroti Hassan now
I think she married one fine Hausa guy.
Of course she did. What did she want?
Well she called me to tell me about
the 20 year reunion for our set.
Apparently, she is
the head of the committee.
Why am I not surprised?
- I know right. Over sabi from time.
- Uh!
Anyway, she was calling to
ask us to RSVP with our spouses.
According to her,
it's strictly a plus one event you know.
Ah, doesn't this girl know that
you girls are not married?
Of course she does.
She is a very stupid girl.
She is just doing it to rub
it in. Gosh, I don't like that girl.
Please don't waste your emotions
on her. She doesn't deserve it. No.
Easy for you to say. You have Kelvin,
Toke has Mr. new lover
- Ahnahn!
- And I'm
here being harassed in clubs by gigolos.
Ehn? What?
When did that happen?
Are you guys telling me, you didn't
actually listen to my voice note?
- Ohh
- ohh
Sorry
But just... what happened... after I left?
Well
After you left, things got even hotter
between Mr fine face
and I on the dance floor
Hey lover
You wanna wanna drive me crazy
I want you for the entire day
You are my happy place
Hey lover
Hey lover
Hey lover
Hey lover
Hey lover
This song is for you
Ever since I met you
Excuse me, excuse me
Thank you
You take me high
Ehnehn...
Hanty, look, before
we go hand henter the car park,
I think we should discuss about price.
I couldn't believe my ears.
The guy had the worst H factor ever.
I can live with most things,
but a man with
an H factor is just a no-no
Ahh...
Uggh, there will be no need to
discuss price.
- Because I am not for sale.
- Ah!
I am talking about
the price of going home with you
and servicing you for the night.
Aunty, come now. You know what's up now.
Ah-ah!
I spent a good chunk of my night with you.
I could have been chasing other clients.
Are you mad? No, no, no. Are
you stupid?
- Aunty calm down...
- Are you mad?
- What are you saying?
- Calm down
Guy, what's the problem?
What's happening?
Is he harassing you?
- Yes! Yes, he is!
- Give me my money
Uggh!
Me, harass you?
She is lying joh! Someone...
that asked... for my services.
And now she doesn't want to pay.
Services? Which dirty
services? I said I am not interested.
So... the time I... spent with
you. Nothing?
Eh!
Guy, Guy, Guy, leave this woman
She is our person,
leave her, she is not interested. Go
- Leave her and go
- Madam, please be careful
- You can leave, she's not interested.
- With all these dirty boys o.
That's how they behave.
- -You can go.
- - That's how they behave.
- - Leave her.
- -
Madam, don't worry, you are our person.
Don't worry, let's walk you to your car
so no one harrasses you again.
Thank you jare
- Thank you, thank you so much.
- No problem
Let me find something for you.
Happy weekend ehn
Madam, more blessings.
Thank You. Thank You.
Really?
That must have been so horrible.
It was.
And if those bouncers
hadn't shown up when they did,
I don't even want to think
about what would have happened.
Sorry, so sorry. But your girl
had better luck.
Of course you did.
Message that I sent since Friday.
It's today you are asking me
"what messages did you send"?
Well,
I was in la la land.
Ah.
- We ate
- hmmm?
- And smashed.
- Ooh ohh
and we ate a little more
And smashed some more.
Then we ate and smashed. Ate and smashed
Ok, ok, we get it! Wow!
By the time I got home, I was so tired.
I just slept off immediately.
I hate you.
- Gloria you nko?
- Huh?
What's your excuse?
Because you also went AWOL.
Wait, Don't tell us Kelvin is back
in town and you didn't tell us.
I wish, anyways from all indications.
It appears none of us won the bet,
So I guess everyone holds on
to their designer assets.
- Halleluyah!
- Fair
But I still want that bag.
Okay, what is going on
First mumsy harasses
me for not going to church
and then the youth pastor of
my once in a while church calls.
Maybe this was a sign.
I really needed to be in church on Sunday.
Hello, Pastor T.
So Sunday came and I could
not believe how late I was.
So much for getting
there before service ends.
Pastor T had said he wanted to see me.
Most likely a little scolding for
not being in church for over a month
So I had to wait until
his meeting with the ushers was over
Thank you all for waiting
behind, we'll make this really quick.
A friend of mine came in from the States
and he is going to
be around for two weeks.
And I wanted him to share with you leaders
about leadership and success.
He's a world acclaimed writer
Please without saying too much
help me welcome my
dear and long-standing friend
Adefemi Omotosho.
Oh my God!
Thank you so much. Errm,
first and foremost
Everyone just calls me Ade.
That's a lot better. I am
here to talk about my book.
It's called The Epic and it is
going to be made into a Hollywood flick.
I am hoping that some of you'd read the
book and watch the movie hopefully.
So, I know you guys are
wondering what's the story here this time?
Well, Ade is one of my
ex-boyfriends from way back
About ten years ago.
He's hotter and richer now
than he was back then though
Or he definitely wouldn't be an ex
Sister Oyin
Pastor T is looking for you.
So I'm hoping that it actually
does well. Once people read it,
Like you can talk
about it in the church. Then
Hey. Oyin.
How are you today?
Oyinlola Clegg.
Adefemi Omotosho.
Long time no see.
Yea...
You two know each other?
Yes.
Very well actually.
Yes. Very well.
So.
How have you been?
Uhm I've been great.
I'd ask you the same question
but my eyes tell me
everything I need to know.
Small world, isn't it?
Ade here is like
a brother to me. We go way back.
Pastor T. Senior Pastor is
looking for you.
I'll be right back guys.
Ade and I were about to be
alone in Pastor T's office
Thank you daddy
master planner. You're the best!
May I offer you anything?
Tea, water, coffee, juice?
Are Are you sure?
We have fine wine as well.
Smallie, get out! You're
wasting valuable time!
- No, thanks.
- No. Thank you very much.
OK. Thank you.
You look even more
beautiful than the last time I saw you.
Hmm.
You don't look too bad yourself.
- You've changed a lot...
- Ah
That I have.
I have missed you
A lot.
Really?
Yea
I mean. In the last ten
years, I haven't found anyone who could
replace you in my life.
And everytime I was in
a relationship, somehow I
I managed to
carry you into it with me.
I guess that's why they didn't work.
I guess that's why I'm still single.
Yay! He's still single! He's
still single! Okay!
Okay Oyin, calm down, calm down!
Let him know
you're still available quickly!
Ah It's funny, I'm still single.
I've tried but
No one could take your place.
And I had to let them all go.
So this is not like
a coincidence or anything.
Us meeting here right now, like this.
I guess not. This has
to be divinely orchestrated.
I mean like, I left
the country over seven years ago
And I haven't been back ever since.
And the one time
I come back, we meet like this.
This must be like
the universe aligning or something.
I know right.
Look, I am in town for
a few weeks, I was wondering,
would you like to hang out?
You know show me
a few places where you go to...
have fun.
Why d'you want my hand?
Your phone.
Oh, my phone. I am so sorry.
- How else are we supoosed to hang out, if
- Ah...
you can't reach me?
Yes. Yes. I am so sorry.
Please put your number in here. Please.
Thank you.
Ade, I
I know things didn't
really end well between us
and I just wanted to say that
- I'm so sorry for how I...
- Hey, hey
Shhh
It's fine.
OK.
I mean, I was
I was hurt.
But that's all in the past. OK?
I am just glad that you can be mine
still.
It's a lie!
No one can tell me I haven't
died and gone to heaven!
This was too good to be true.
I'm glad I'm glad too.
Sorry for keeping
you guys waiting, you know how it is.
Yeah, it's fine.
You just gave us
time to catch up, that's all.
- Ah?
- Yeah.
Great! So Oyin,
to why I wanted to see you.
I would like you to be a
part of the singles committee.
They organise a lot
of events and fun outings
and you know all the fun places in Lagos.
I see your Insta and Whatsapp stories.
All of them?
All of them.
Errm...
I'm sure I can work something out.
So you'll join?
Yes Pastor T, I'll join the singles
committee.
- Great!
- But not for long pastor
Not for long.
Hello.
Yes I am purposely ignoring your calls
And no I do not want to talk about it.
Look, what happened was a mistake
and one I would like to forget.
So can we please just move on from that
and get on with our lives, please.
I have to go now, I have work to do.
Should I be worried?
About what?
Whoever is making you smile like that.
Ohh
This is just my friend
You have nothing to worry about.
I like the sound of that.
If you did like the sound,
why were you acting anxious?
You didn't have to
Excuse me.
Are you blind? Can't
you see this seat is taken?
No, I see it's taken alright
By my fiance and his next play thing.
Excuse you!
Derrick, what's going on here?
Derrick?
So you are Derrick to her?
Actually, his name is Peter
- Peter Omiyale.
- Tosan!
This is his instagram page.
And this is the IV to our wedding.
We are getting married in a week's time.
You're what Possibly the 15th girlfriend
he's had in the three
years that we've been dating.
Silly me.
I keep thinking that he'll change
But he's not going to change
He is never going to change.
So I guess that's it.
Baby
Baby, no!
Baby, look you can't do this.
Look, baby
Baby, You are the love of my life.
You know that is the
same thing he says every time
I threaten to leave him.
"Tosan, you are the love of my life"
"Tosan, you are my one and only"
"Tosan, it is you and I forever"
Well, not anymore!

Excuse me.
Look, baby, I can explain.

- No I'm not.
This girl was crazy.
She had to be If she stuck around
with him for that long
knowing he was cheating.
Arrgh!
Anyway, having been with
him, I think I can understand.
He is such a charmer
and this guy knows how to put it down!
Toksy-baby.
Ashawo
- Look at you.
- This is just so unfair.
Why are we so unlucky with guys?
Ah, No, no, no. it's not me and you guys.
It's not me and you guys.
Guess who I saw at church today.
Who?
- I said guess now.
- Ohhh!
Please just say it. Who?
Adefemi Omotosho.
Wha-what?
- The Ade?
- I know!
Wait. It's been like how many years now?
Ten Years. Babes, he has changed so much.

and hangs out with celebrities.
OK. So let me get this right. Celebrity
No, hangs out with celebrities,

Er.
This is your type o.
Wait, wait is he single?
Hmm, I'm already ahead of you guys.
I'm checking him on google now.
You are checking him out!
Once bitten, forever shy.
Ladies, ladies don't worry, he is single.
And you know what the best part is
he said he misses me
and he wants us to get back together.
Look at you.
Wait, wait, wait Oyin.
This seems too good to be true.
Are you sure this guy is OK?
What's all this now?
What's all this?
So because he wants
to get back together with me
he must not be OK?
If you want to abuse me, just
abuse me. Insult me, insult me.
- Come on, you know I am your girl.
- Le-leave me!
I got your back.
Wait!
Stop, stop
and with this recent experience I've had,
if something feels too good to be true.
- It just might be too good to be true.
- It's too good to be true!
Please, Please, Please,
don't use your own
current situation to ruin mine
Ade and I are getting
back together and that's that.
Ok.
Alright.
But wait a minute.
Why did you guys break up again?
Or you mean,
why did Oyin break up with him?
Hmm-mn
Babe, babe, babe, babe,
look at me.
I just finished the book and it's
amazing. This one is going to be the one.
That's what you said about
the last two books over the past
three years.
No, no, no.
This time it's different. I can feel it.
Like this is... the book.
OK.
I've heard.
So
How far with the money
you said you were going to give me.
I uhm I
about that, I... managed to
raise about half of the money
but... the thing is... my sister's
hostel... accommodation is due.
And mumsy is sick now
Every time!
Every time I ask you for
money, you do this Ade!
You know what,
I can't do this.
I can't live like this.
You and I are over.
Hmm... Oyin was that really
how you ended it?
But... the thing is... my sister's
hostel... accommodation is due.
Mumsy is sick now.
Every time!
Every time I ask
you for money, you do this Ade!
Ehn-ehn...
So this is how you want to marry me
and punish me and make me suffer?
God will punish you.
You know what?
I'm done
I'm done with
your useless, jobless, broke ass.
Idiot. Please, please just leave me!
Let better people see me.
- Nonsense!
- Okay fine I was mean
We get the picture. That's enough.
I was... young.
- And I needed the money.
- Uhm.
I didn't have the kind of job I have now,
It was after we broke up
- I went to the UK to do my Masters.
- Ok.
Now if you had told me
that story like this, I'm sure
I would have remembered.
Oyin, you are so crazy.
Goodness!
Shut up joor!
I mean the guy
I was just so frustrated with the guy
And As a fine girl
That you is
That I am, I had needs now. Oh.
But I've changed now.
Oyin, you're so crazy.
I am going to pray for you.
Ossy, leave me joh.
So
What now with you and Ade?
I'll wait for him to reach out,
and if he doesn't, me I will call him sha
Maybe we should call,
we can help you call him.
I can handle it. Thank you.
Oh oh. See.
Did Ossy tell you about his cousin's
pool party? I'm just getting my invite.
Yeah, yeah he did.
He wants me to be his plus one.
Hmm-mm! Not with Ade in the picture now.
Anyway babes,
you are going to be my own plus one
Since I am boyfriendless now.
It's him! It's him!
And that's how Ade and I
started talking on the phone all day
And all night.
And of course, we overdid it
Are you okay?
What's wrong with you?
I've never seen you sleeping
in the office like this.
Hmmm-mmn
That's because
I haven't been in love like this.
Wake up.
Thank you.
There was nothing better than
knowing that he was mine
and I was his
And I couldn't wait to be his, forever.
Hey.
Hey!
You left me all alone.
Sorry.
So, who are we texting?
Err, Toks.
Work, is everything OK?
Yeah, everything is fine,
She was just asking if
I was coming for this thing.
What exactly is this thing?
It's nothing serious,
it's just a birthday party.
OK. So are we going?
You want to go?
Yeah, I mean,
what exactly are we doing here?
There is nothing happening here.
Are your friends going to be there?
Mmnn
Then I'd love to go.
Get to meet them,
get to know them. You know, bond.
OK. If you are sure.
Yeah.
I mean, that's what normal people do.
Introduce people, bond and all that stuff.
- Let me go change.
- Ok, Cool.
But this is fine though.
- Hey ladies!
- Hey.
Hi. How are you doing?
I thought you said,
you weren't coming.
It's really cool, yeah?
Yeah, thanks babe.
You do that.
Ah. Look at my girl. Glowing.
Thank you. It's love ooo.
I know right.
I know right, but I love this yellow look.
- Thank you.
- I go love o.
Amen! Amen!
- Nothing. Nothing.
- Is everything OK?
Yeah, it's fine. Just
a customer calling. Nothing serious.
Excuse me, I will be right back.
Well...
I had fun tonight.
So did I.
Did I tell you how beautiful you looked?
You did.
And also did I tell you that
all the guys couldn't stop staring at you?
Really?
I didn't, I didn't notice.
Because I only had eyes for one man.
Oh my!!!
If this is a dream,
I never want to wake up from it,
because everything is just
perfect!
OK. So This works?
Yeah. I prefer it to the other one.
Uhm.
Alright, Oh, have you decided on a design?
He's leaving.
Ade is going abroad in two weeks
and I'm worried.
I would really like some
form of assurance, before he goes.
I get what you mean
long distance
relationships can be a handful.
Hmmm.
What do I do?
You are not going to pick that?
Nope!
It's my mum.
And I really don't want to
talk about why I'm still not married.
Just pick up.
- I mean you can't ignore her forever.
- Hmm-mmn
Hey babe.
Hey babe.
Hope you still
like wearing those lovely gowns.
I'll come pick you up at seven
for a special dinner.
Make me drop dead when I see you.
I should absolutely be a stylist
I know. You did a good job.
You need more booty
and some vaseline.
But she looks absolutely gorgeous.
- She looks gorgeous. Look at her.
- Hmm-mnn
Hmmmn!
He's here!
Shhh Just wait.
I'll get the door.
You don't want too look too eager.
Okay.
Go girl, I'm so excited
- Hi!
- Hey
Errrm...
Good evening.
- Good evening.
- How are you doing?
Not bad at all. How are you as well?
I'm fantastic.
Errm, is she ready?
Well.
See for yourself.
Hey.
Hey.
Shall we?
Or would you rather spend
the entire evening looking at me?
Honestly
That's actually not such a bad idea.
But I
as tempting as that prospect is,
I actually have
something special planned for tonight.
Oh?
So we have to
we have to leave.
Is that fine?
Enjoy your evening.
And you too.
Yah!
This is nice.
Oh, I do try.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
You're welcome.
This has to be it!
The assurance I need.
No one goes through all of this trouble.
If it isn't a proposal
- Good hevening sir.
- Good evening.
Good heve
Good evening ma
May hl do the honors?
Oh please.
Care to share the joke?
Errr...
It's nothing really.
I just remembered this stupid guy.
Who was trying to outsmart me.
But he ended up
making a fool of himself instead..
Where?
Err... What's... for dinner?
Anything that you can think of,
is on the menu.
Oh! I like the sound of that.
Bring me some pepper soup for starters,
and
Make it snappy.
- Sir.
- Hm?
What would you have?
What she said.
Thank you.
That's a very weird individual.
Hmm-nn!
Anyway
tell me
what does your dream life entail?
Ahh...
Well.
It entails a future with you.
Lots of children, a big house filled with
happiness and laughter.
Babe...
Have I ever told you
that you are the most beautiful girl
that I have ever seen in my life?
Only about a million times.
Then, not nearly enough.
I was going to wait till after dinner
but I don't think I can wait any longer.
Oyin Clegg.
I
I have something for you.
This is for you.
So wait what were you expecting? Hm?
A wedding ring?
Oyin, you had me.
Then what did you do?
You threw me away.
I mean it's
it's been years but.
Remind me
you said I was foolish.
You called me an idiot.
I
You said I was jobless,
useless.
Basically, what you were
trying to imply
was that I had no future.
But now
you see me and
I'm somebody
and now you want to
waltz your way back into my life.
Trying to reap
where you did not sow.
I asked you
to tell me about your dream future.
What it entailed.
Well, let me tell
you what mine does not entail.
A gold digging
opportunist woman as my wife.
Have a nice life, Oyin Clegg.
Ade Ade
So, aunty,
I can see that uncle has left.
Tell me now,
When is the... wedding?
Useless Fool. Madman.
It will not be well with you.
Madman. Useless fool
Hanty! Hanty!
Hello
Hey babes
Ossy?
The one and only
I was at the office and
was told you called in sick.
What's the problem, love?
Nothing.
That's not what I heard.
- OK
- Ah ah
Which one is this monosyllabic
answers you are giving me?
Sorry.
Anyway, I'm at your door, open it.
Where?
You are at the door?
Don't keep me waiting.
Hm!
- Hey!
- Hey you.
How are you?
Come here.
I would say you look a hot mess,
but I guess you kind of already knew that.
Ossy, what's wrong with you?
Did
you go down a cup size or...
- Ossy!
- Sorry.
Ahnahn!
Sorry.
It seems like you haven't eaten in days.
Alright
I'll make you something to eat.
After all I am not
just a dashing young man,
I'm also very good in the kitchen.
So, what do you have in your
kitchen?
Let me know what I am working with.
- Don't burn the house down.
- Me?
OK. OK.
You tried, you tried.
- I tried?
- Small.
- See this girl o.
- Small.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking.
Ossy isn't bad at all.
I know and I agree
If only I could get past the fact that
that I don't connect
with him on a sexual level.
Trust me, I've tried
And there's the issue of his last name.
No way I'm exchanging Clegg
for... Oni-sa
However you say it.
You good right?
- Thank you.
- Alright.
By the way, I
left something for you under the
microwave,
I hope that will cheer you up.
What... I...
Oh my God!
Ossy!
Ossy!
And that's how Oyin Clegg got
her groove back
And was on her way to the airport.
Are you serious?
I swear down!
He really likes you.
I know
Maybe
I'll consider him when I get back.
Oh Are you serious?
Please, please.
Everybody, slow down.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Because the last time I pictured myself
walking down the aisle with someone,
it didn't end well.
Errr I guess.
We'll talk about it when I get back.
I have a flight to catch.
I
Mumsy is calling me
Oh. Ladies
Kelvin is calling me
too so I have to go, OK.
Alright babes, I'll keep you guys posted.
I'll let you know when
I get there. Love you. Bye
Bye.
- Hey baby, I've been...
- Oh you
Why've you been
calling my husband all the time?
Err...
You stay the hell away from my husband.
You hear me? He is married.
Read my lips!
- Excuse me, please...
- Married
- I would like to speak to Kelvin.
- Hear me
OK.
Now get lost hussy.
You still keeping some stupid
girl all the way in Nigeria?
You crazy son of a bitch!
Babe, I will call you back.
Sorry, I'll call you back.
I promise. I promise!
Ah!
Oh!
Ugh, shoot me now!
Of all people to run into
Hey Dear!
Moroti. Darling, how are you?
Fancy running into you.
I know right.
I mean Lagos is so big.
Who would have thought?
Actually
Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria
But I get your misguided point.
Hmph.
So, where are you headed?
- Dubai.
- Ah.
Yeah, I needed some me time.
And you are going alone?
What about you?
Where are you headed?
- To the UK, as always.
- Hmmm
Abdul and I are
taking the kids on a vacation.
As usual.
That's... nice.
Oh yes, It is. It is.
It can be very stressful, you know.
But I'd rather deal with
all of their wahala,
than not to have them at all.
You know what I mean.
- Yeah
- So
Are you coming for the 20th reunion?
I spoke to Gloria about it.
Yeah She mentioned.
Ah
So I take it both of you are not coming?
Considering the fact that you are supposed
to come with a spouse.
Okay, that's it!
Somebody hold me before
I jam my foot in this witch's mouth
I'm sorry I'm late dear.
Thank you for waiting.
Is this your friend?
Hello. Yomi
Kester-Jacobs.
I...
The Kester-Jacobs?
Is there any other kind?
Hi! Hi! It's really nice meeting you.
Hmmnn.
Oh Oyin, you never said anything,
considering the fact that we are friends
Ah
We've been trying to keep it hush hush.
I wouldn't want the media
and the tabloids
harrasing my girl now, would I?
And I'd like to keep it that way.
Of course, of course. Lips are sealed.
Thank you.
It would actually be an honor to have you
at our 20th reunion.
Oh. I thought you said it was for married
couples only.
Don't be silly Oyin,
I mean for him we can make an exception.
Well Babe and I, we have really crazy
schedules.
- But
- True.
- We'll take a look and we'll let you know.
- Hmm-nn
It's alright
It's really nice meeting you.
Indeed!
Nice meeting you
Oh, I need to rush and meet my husband.
But I have to pick
my child's pacifier first.
- Right. Bye!
- Bye.
Ugh. I thought she would never leave.
I can imagine.
I overheard your conversation.
And I just couldn't resist.
I had to be the prince
who saves the damsel in distress.
Thank you.
It's nice to meet you, Miss
Clegg. Oyin Clegg.
Ah!
So, you're going to Dubai.
Luckily for you,
so am I.
So I get to be the lucky man
who slays all the dragons in your path.
- If you don't mind.
- I
No, I don't.
Excellent.
Shall we?
He was travelling alone
And I was travelling alone.
So we decided to travel alone together.
No, I don't believe you.
That's not possible.
Look. Swear down. I have no idea,
how we survived boarding school in Ilorin.
What's wrong with you guys?
You mean to tell me
you've never done anything
that's completely
out of character for you?
- No!
- Hmm-mmn
OK!
It happened a few years ago
when Gloria was dating this
low life,
good for nothing,
absolute rubbish of a human being.
Ahnahn!
Tell us how you really feel then.
Sorry, it's just that every time
I remember I get pissed all over again.
So...
this guy was dating Gloria and
he is a married man.
But he was stringing her along.
So we were going to get our revenge.
We were going to do an Italian job on him,
but we decided for a greedy man.
He had been bragging to Gloria about this
contract that was coming for him,
how big it was and
how he had money in hand
and whatever. Fool!
He had a stolen proposal
to which he had only the hard copy,
he had no soft copy.
And then we
What's wrong?
Man, I'm off to the toilet.
My tummy is acting up, please.
That is how he lost the contract.
Mess with me and my girls
You will not get away with it.
I'm
I'm slightly scared of you now
You should be.
And just a little turned on.
Fool!
That's where they will see you.
Ah!
- I wish we didn't have to come back.
- Uhh
- Tell me about it.
- Really?
Then let's go back. Right now.
- Huh?
- We'll book the very next flight.
- Are you crazy?
- Only about you.
I had so much fun and...
- Ohh?
- My schedule is crazy.
And so it begins.
Look, I have to take this call.
It's OK, I'd like to say hi to my friend.
Hey!
What the hell was that?
What?
Don't' act dumb
Oyin. I saw him kissing you.
Oh. We met on the trip and we connected.
You
Wh What does that even mean?
You met him in like what,
four days and you connected.
And I've been here waiting
for you for two years?
I didn't ask you to.
Oh!
I see.
Look,
Ossy, I'm sorry if
Sorry for what exactly?
Ehn?
For dashing my hopes over and over again?
Or for falling for a guy
you met on a trip that I paid for?
I'm sorry
that things are the way they are.
Hey babes
Yea...
Who is this?
Err...
A colleague from work.
I am here waiting for my madam.
She's been away for about a week
and it seems her flight has been delayed.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, you know.
The things we do for love.
Tell me about it.
Listen, how about we go wait in the car
While they sort out our luggage?
- Hmm?
- See you at the office.
Yeah. Pleasure meeting you.
Same here.
- What?
- I know.
All this for just you?
- Ah. He spoiled me sick
- Wow!
Are you kidding me?
Oh, this particular day was so much fun.
But wait, why didn't you put this
on your insta-stories
and Whatsapp stories now?
Well, Yomi is very particular about media
and tabloids.
Oh, yea...
That now explains how Ossy didn't
even know what was going down in Dubai.
Ugh! Can you not remind me about that?
I'm so not looking forward
to bumping into him on Monday.
Which is a good thing,
you guys never dated. So,
Or did you ever maybe have something?
- Nah.
- Nothing at all?
Sorry ladies, I'll be right back
Dubai Babe!
Hmm-nn...
So.
How is she handling Kelvin's betrayal?
She's been very withdrawn.
Men are scum!
- Simple!
- Except my Yomi
I hear you!
Oh.
Hello, Pastor T.
Good afternoon.
Yes, I was out of town on err
An official trip.
What?!
Was the trip not
mandated and paid for by my boss?
- What else is an official trip
- Yeah, I'm fine
Everything is just perfect.
At least that's what I believed until
Wait
Is that not Ossy?
No, No, No. Wait!
Just take it easy.
-
- What the hell are you doing with Ossy?
Ehnn... Don't even try to deny it
- because we saw you outside kissing!
- Right now
Ossy is my boyfriend.
He's your what?
- Your boy what? Your boyfriend?
- Gloria.
Are you for real?
Because this is my Ossy ooo!
Ehn?
What did you say?
Girl, watch what you say
or I will scratch out your eyes.
What do you mean by your Ossy?
Ossy has never been yours.
He is not yours and he will never
be yours.
So get that straight. He is not yours.
- Are you for real? Are you serious?
- Am I for real?
Ok! ok! Please calm down.
I am very calm. OK!
Let me ask you.
Are you the only one that wants to marry?
You think it's just you?
And what is so wrong with a single guy,
a very single guy for that matter,
wanting to settle down with someone
at my 36 years of age?
- Hmmn!
- He wants to settle down with you?
Is that what he told you?
Because he was seriously
talking about marriage with me
only a few weeks ago.
Well...
Sisterly, things can
change in a few weeks.
Oh. And this your few things
they are very, very confusing.
Because I can't even remember you and Ossy
being friends
- and now you are talking marriage.
- Can you imagine?
Must you know everything?
Woah.
God. And it's thanks to you.
- What?
- Yeah.
It's all thanks to you.
It all started at the night,
at the club,
when you told me to get rid of him.
He didn't want to go home
and I didn't want to go home either.
So we decided to go to another club.
I tried to get him to stop drinking
but it didn't really work.
He was hurting for
Oyin and I missed Kelvin too.
Before I knew it, we were both drunk,
but he was way more than I was.
Ehnehn!
So the two of you have been
sleeping together this whole time?
No, It was just that one time.
And although,
he did try to reach out to me,
He didn't want you to
know about it and neither did I.
And then he saw
you and Yomi at the airport
and he figured that there was no use of
him waiting for you, so he came to me.
I was already in a bad place with Kelvin
and
We just sort of clicked.
Wow!
How touching.
Oyin, please...
Please.
Thinking about it, you actually
don't have a right to be angry.
You are happy with Yomi, aren't you?
You are happy.
So if Gloria and Ossy feel they have a
chance together.
I think the only thing
you can do is to just support them.
Fine. Whatever.
It's just
I was just surprised.
- Shocked.
- Me too.
But But
You deserve to be happy.
We all deserve to be happy o!
At least some of us don't have
any man in our life. So
Oh by the way ladies one more thing.
Oyin
Would you
be my chief bridesmaid?
What?
I told you Ossy was serious.
And he actually proposed.
But I wanted to let you girls know first,
And you beat me to it.
Congratulations.
Isn't it too soon?
Hey love
Hey babe, where are you?
Yeah, I'm with Toke and Gloria,
What's up?
Great!
Some of my friends just got into town
and I need you to come
with your girls so we can hang out.
Uh.
Oh Sure. The girls will need to change
and get ready though.
You can just send an uber
and pick us at Toke's house.
I'll send you the address.
I'll send the driver
that'll come pick you.
OK. See you soon.
Bye.
Erm...
That was Yomi. He wants to hang out and
wants me to bring you guys along
If you are feeling up to it.
Cool, it's fine. It's
fine. I'll just go change.
Okay
No-no
Let's just go, because
I... don't want to talk about that.
Wooh!
Hello!
Will you marry me?
Yes!
Oh my God!
Congratulations!
- I am so happy for you.
- I am getting married you guys!!!
- This is beautiful.
- I know!
It all feels so surreal.
Girls. I can't believe this is happening.
Congratulations.
Gloria, about your request.
Yes, I'll be your chief bridesmaid.
Yes!
And that's how I became the
trending topic on the internet
and everything started happening so fast
First, I had to perform my
bridesmaid duties
Then I faced
the stress of picking my aso-ebi
Figuring out the guest list
And the weight of
settling for the perfect dress
thankfully my darling husband to be
wasn't sparing any costs
In the midst of it all, I had
to settle my friend, after all,
Gloria was now married to Ossy,
and I was getting married to Yomi.
It was just right that Toke should have
someone
to settle down with as well
With all the love and friendship in
the air
I couldn't wait for my big day to come
Oyin Clegg was finally getting married!
Yomi
Yomi
Yomi
Go in. He wants to see you.
Hey lover
This song is for you
Ever since I met you
I am not the same girl
You take me high
High like a bird
Take me to a place
Where I have never been
It's alright, Oyin!
Mummy, it's not. It's not.
Have you not heard what we've been saying?
Toke thinks I should break up with him
and collect hush money to keep his secret.
At this level?
What do you mean?
So Toke wants you to continue
to be single like her,abi?
Mummy!
No, wait... let me talk.
Oyin.
Every marriage has it's own peculiarities.
Ok.
You remember at your Uncle Tade's burial?
The light skinned tall woman
with two boys?
Yeah, the one
that you said was your cousin.
Well, she is not my cousin
We had to tell
you childreen that so you don't
think bad of your uncle.
She was your uncle's side chic.
And the two boys were for your uncle.
And your Aunty Dunni. She is single again.
Why?
Her husband started dating a younger girl.
She was thrown out
of the house with her girls.
And all the inheritance,
gone to another woman.
So you see.
You do not have to worry about these
things if your husband is gay.
- He is not my husband yet.
- Hmnn
My pastor thinks I should end things
and have nothing to do with
the Kester-Jacobs family.
Your pastor?
Hello Pastor. How are you? Oh, I'm fine.
Oyin is here with me.
Concerning what we discussed yesterday.
I'll hand her the phone now.
- You told him?
- Yes na, I had to!
When you called crying yesterday like
the world was coming to an end. Take it
Take this phone from my hand.
Hello Sir
Oyin, how are you?
I'm fine sir.
Your mother told me what happened between
you and your fiance.
There is nothing God cannot do.
Sir, did she give you all the details?
Yes.
She did.
That is why I said,
there is nothing God cannot do.
Ah!
Sir
I don't know about this one o!
Have I not been your family pastor
since you were a child?
Was I not the one who christened you?
You are, sir.
So trust me Oyin.
We can remedy this situation.
You can both come for
counselling and deliverance
And thereafter, you come for the wedding.
There is nothing God cannot do.
OK.
Have you heard?
Ah!
I've heard.
You can give the phone to your mother.
Let me have a word with her.
Thank you sir.
Pastor.
Ok, ok, sir.
Alright, Thank you.
Alright, Bye.
So?
Mummy.
I don't know
What don't you know?
This is common in high society Lagos.
Yomi is from a good
family, he spoils you silly.
He can give you children, so what else do
you want? Oyin.
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
The devil you know
is better than
the angel you do not know.
I've said my part.
This is all so confusing
If you were in my shoes,
what would you do?
Listen to Pastor T and have nothing to do
with Yomi and his family?
Take Toke's advice and
collect hush money for keeping his secret?
Listen to my mum?
Or do what me and
the girls did to Johnson?
My name is Oyin Clegg
I am 35, I have a great job...
I'm not married
and no, there is
absolutely nothing wrong with me.
In fact, I am actually quite desirable
if I say so myself.
I take it you like them?
They're beautiful.
Not as beautiful as you are
I...
Sorry
Hello
So, why am I not married?
- Hello
- Hey Princess! How are you?
Good.
You didn't respond to my messages all day.
Hmm-nn
Sorry. Full day.
But you read all the messages.
You could have at least replied
Uh...
Anyway, are you going out this evening?
No.
I... I have a wedding tomorrow.
So I'm going to I'm going to rest.
Ok. I'll buy dinner and come over
Er, you can't do that. I
Tonight is the bridal shower
and it's happening at my place.
Oh!
I'll see you
after the wedding tomorrow then
Call me before heading out.
Goodnight, love.
Mm hm
Really.
Why am I not married yet?
Maybe because
like all fairytale princesses
I want the perfect prince.
Jazz man
Are you back Mr Joseph
I have not danced enough
I have not retired
Anyday I can entertain you on the MIC
I will entertain you till I
Rest in peace
Thats right
Stop if you cant dance
Dance with some swag
Hey you shake your body
For the busybodies
She danced the best
Bubble and keep bubbling
Haters can hate
My people
Throw your hands in the air
Raise the roof
Raise the roof roof roof
Exactly!
Babes, can you get off
the phone so we can go?
- Okay. I'll look through the documents
- Real diamond earrings!
Girl, where did you get this from?
What?
- Aunty, I'm not broke now.
- Uhhhh!
- OK, so where did you get them from?
- OK, fine.
Ossy got them for me
on his last business trip.
Ooh. Tell me exactly why
you refuse to date this guy?
Oyin, science student says that
they don't have chemistry.
They better have reserved our table
I don't even want to hear stories tonight.
- Hey, Madam.
- Hey na, how far na?
You don show, welcome
Honey!
I told you to wait up.
Oh! sorry babe.
I ran into an old friend, Oyin Clegg.
This is my 'special' friend Tara Cole.
It's nice to meet you, dear.
- Come on babe, let's get out of here
- OK.
See you around.
Excuse me! Move!
Calm down! Calm down, Oyin.
The stupid girl actually called
me "dear."
I hate that thing.
- Am I her mate?
- She's pained
She's really pained.
Did you notice the
difference in introduction?
The guy was like "meet Oyin Clegg"
my friend and then meet Tara Cole
"my very special friend."
I understand how you feel.
But the name's kinda nice, though.
- Yeah,
- Ehn, it's OK.
Ach! God Punish Kalu.
Eh eh, what do you mean?
I thought it was the phone selection thing
you do, that he did right back to you.
Mm hm!
Okay, to understand what's going on here,
let me give you some perspective...
So, sometimes when I'm bored
and I really need to get some
I do the phone select.
I scroll through my contact list.
And eliminate men
based on certain criteria.
What you want is a no strings attached guy
Who will not interpret a night together
as an invitation to
a long term relationship
So you cancel out the fervent toasters
and settle down kind of guys.
Then you eliminate those who are in
places so far,
it requires too much effort to see.
Is this one a joker?
Please, I am not the one
that sent you on transfer to Bodija.
All the way in Ibadan?
When I finally make my choice
I put a call through
drop a few hints and hope he catches on.
If he doesn't, I
round the conversation off
and move on to
the next until I hit the jackpot
This was the rigorous screening process
I had to put Kalu through.
But sometimes,
even proven strategies fail.
After a couple of nights together.
Things changed.
Kalu became clingy, annoying and intrusive
Clingy Kalu indeed.
With friends like you guys
who needs enemies?
And just so we are clear,
I can get a guy as
easily as Kalu got that... girl.
- Oh really?
- Hmm-mm!
So, let's have a bet then
You get a guy as hot as the babe Kalu got.
Hotter!
And if you do, I'll trade you
My new Chanel bag
that Kelvin is getting for me next week.
Come to the asking.
Wait, how are you and Kelvin coping
with this long distance relationship?
- We are managing.
- So, wait...
What's in it for you?
Because the Gloria I know,
does not just give up designer bags.
Let's see
Hmmm...
the Louboutins that Ossy got for you.
- You are a thief. This girl is a thief.
- But it's nice now!
Well except of course,
if you cannot get
the hot guy we talked about.
- I can and I will.
- OK.
- Cool!
- Let's make a deal.
- Deal, deal.
- Ah-ah!
Game on!
What's wrong with this one?
Who is that?
Look at this monkey.
Fried chicken.
Animal.
- Fried Turkey
- Nonsense
Uh!
Where's this bartender?
- I know. He's cute.
- Yeah!
Yeah, he is.
Okay
Look at him.
How am I doing?
You good girl.
- How are the girls?
- You got it
Perfect!
Just go already.
I'll be back.
- Ossy!
- Oyin!
How are you?
You are... here.
Yeah, I came to have fun like you guys.
Errm... actually
- So
- I I need to actually say hi to a friend.
You know what, come and
hang out with the girls
Drink, sit down, have fun.
I'll have a good time.
Ossy. Come on in.
- Hey!
- How are you doing my man?
How are you girls doing?
Not bad at all.
Hmmm. Such strong arms.
That's it!
A man of few words who knows exactly what
he wants. Love it.
Changing this, we don't want it.
What are you drinking?
- Ossy
- Yeah
Focus! Focus!
- I'm here.
- What's up? Come on, do something.
Guys, excuse me.
Hi, cutie!
So how have you been?
- Ossy!
- Yeah.
How are you doing? Focus now.
- Drink something.
- I'm good
No, I'm I'm okay
You sure?
I can feel it in my bones.
This is going to be the best night ever!
I was just coming to your office
after I had my morning coffee.
Make it later. I have a
meeting in five.
Uhhhm.
Sorry I didn't respond to your voice note.
Did you even listen to it?
Good morning ladies
I'll see you later.
You look so pretty today.
Put your eyes back in your head.
Let's get this meeting started.
Good morning.
Aw! Look at that! Uh, my ovaries!
Na wa o
So oppression has
moved from Valentine's day
to children's day.
Good morning everyone.
Morning!
How many of you have
heard about the Kester-Jacobs
Corporation?
Real Estate, Hospitality
business and a growing FMCG line.
Plus interest in fashion and lifestyle.
Bottom line,
They are a big deal
and we have
an opportunity to grab a big piece of it.
They are accepting bids
to cater to their Oil & Gas Services
for every single
one of their subsidiaries.
We will do everything
in our power to ensure that
our bid is the winning bid.
This is the guy we will be dealing with.
Him?
He is so young.
That is Yomi Kester-Jacobs.
The heir to the Kester Jacobs dynasty.
His father has gone
MIA for the last two years
following an unfortunate copter crash.
Well, rumour has it
he lives in London with his wife.
They don't attend any social gatherings.
No visitors... except family of course.
Is he a vegetable?
I'm just wondering since
he doesn't accept visitors.
Well rumour also has it that
he does his board meetings via phone.
So no, he is not a vegetable.
Or, the PR team is really good and they're
spreading these rumours intentionally.
Rumour or no rumour,
this is the guy we are dealing with.
Hm?
I've had the marketing department draw up
a mock pitch for them.
Are we all clear?
Yes.
Good!
And now for some good news.
The Save Our Planet
campaign board in New York
was very impressed
with our CSR project and
they have sent glowing recommendations
to members of the team.
I also want to specially
appreciate Ms Clegg here,
for bringing up
the idea and running with it.
For Ms Clegg.
In addition to that
They have also opened up a slot
in their team lead building workshop
for one of the staff from this company.
And it's lovely stuff.
Ah...
As much as I would
want you to attend, Ms Clegg.
I am sorry, you can't.
Why not?
I need you here.
I can't trust anyone else
with All Things renewable project.
It's right around the corner
and I need you here to handle it.
Desmond will go in your stead.
Good! Now, are there any other
pending issues?
Now everybody get back to work.
Ughh!
It's all wash. Let me tell you.
The unofficial reason they don't want you
to go is because you're not married.
- What?
- Yeah.
Do you remember Francesca?
The one the company sent to that trip in
Atlanta
for training?
She never came back.
That thing she did made
the company come to the conclusion
that it's because she's not married
and she has no ties here
and no reason to come back
This is ridiculous.
I know.
But the company
rules are the company rules.
It's not fair.
I worked hard on that project.
It was my baby, my idea.
- And now I
- Oyin, I'm sorry
- Hello Mummy.
- Oyinlola.
You see what I've been telling you?
Mummy, what are you talking about?
What have you been telling me?
Oyinlola Clegg! Get Married!
Mummy.
It's just morning or is it not
too early for this kind of conversation?
When I called
you yesterday, did you take my call?
- I was busy.
- Ehn-ehn!
And I I'm busy now and
I am not really in a good mood.
Ehnehn? Good! I'm about to make
your day worse.
Adebisi is getting married
- What?!
- Oho you heard me right
Your school daughter that we asked
you to take care of in Queens College.
She is getting married! I have
her aso-ebi right here in my hand.
Oyinlola.
Why are you hell bent on shaming
this family?
Mummy, I don't like
what you are saying.
Is it my fault I'm still single?
Whose fault is it?
Oyin.
Please, what is the problem?
Just tell me Is
it that the men are not coming?
They are
Then what is the problem?
They're not men I want to marry.
I come against every curse upon your life.
Mummy, I'm not cursed.
That's now what I meant
I am just saying
that this thing might be spiritual
and we might need to
pray and fast to break it.
Your eyes need to open
to see all the available men.
Mummy, I don't need all
the available men. I need just one.
I know. I know. But...
Ma, we are ready.
OK
Mummy, I'm... busy at the moment
and I even had to step out of
a meeting to take your call,
so I have to go.
OK, I have to be in
court as well, but you know
all things need prayers, good
or bad
When was the last time you were in church?
It's been a while. I've been busy.
You see?
You see!
You cannot be too busy for
the one who will answer your prayers.
You cannot be too busy for God.
I want to see you in church
this Sunday. D'you understand?
Yes Mummy, I have heard.
Thank you. Talk to you later. Bye.
That was long. What's going on?
Hmmm
Debisi is getting married.
Which Debisi? Debisi your school daughter?
Wow!
Yes, wow!
My mum is freaking
out, maybe I should be too.
Seems like just yesterday I
was walking her to class after assembly.
Oyin, we are getting old.
Yes, we are.
Come in.
Ah! My favourite ladies.
Aww Oyin, are you feeling blue?
New York, New York!
I know green is your favourite colour.
So, I promise to buy you a nice
green dress
- As a present on my way back...
- Get out of my office.
Get out of my office!
If you insist.
Argh! Argh! Ahhhh!
I would have preferred anybody, anybody
else!
- People can hear you...
- I don't care!
You know what? Woo! I need to go.
I need to clear my head.
Please. Please.
Arrgghh!
Hello, Gloria.
Is everything OK? Who is upset?
Ah OK. In that case, let's meet up
at our usual spot for lunch.
My treat, my treat
Ok and make sure you drag Oyin along,
we'll find out what's up. Yeah? Alright.
Talk to you later. Bye.
Are... you Okay?
How did you know I would be here?
Let's just say I know you well.
You're the only person I know
who enjoys the sound of
a printer buzzing in their ears.
It helps me relax.
I know.
Besides, it's not the first time you've
come here to clear your head
Which is kind of one of the reasons
I've had maintenance
not throw this printer out.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Get them to let me go for the training.
Er Anything but that.
Oyin look, the orders came from way up.
You know, this is sexual and marital
marginalization and discrimination.
And I can sue the company for that.
Well, yes you could, but they'll deny it
and you really can't prove anything
at the moment.
It's just not fair!
Is there anything else I can do to help?
Oyin, but really sha,
what's wrong with you?
This is a hundred
yards of husband material
uggh, but he doesn't give me
butterflies in my tummy
or make me giddy with excitement
Yeah, I know,
it sounds silly to some of you
but this woman wants what she wants.
I'll be fine.
Uhhm, one more thing
Would it be a bad time
to ask you to be my date
for my cousin's pool party.
Which is in like three weeks?
Yes.
Yes?
Well I tried. At least I made you smile.
Thank you.
Please let him know I'm here. Thank you.
Alright Babe.
I'll talk to you later.
Err Babe?
Err Did you not just hang out with this
guy on Friday?
Oh please stop abeg. Is
that not Desmond's wife?
Desmond Desmond Alaba?
Yeah
- Are you sure?
- Ahnahn!
One hundred percent!
You know what? Just
play along. Just play along.
Just be a second, then you come
- Ah, babe!
- Hmm?
How far Desmond now?
- Which Desmond?
- Ah-ah!
How many Desmonds are in
this office? Desmond Alaba now!
Oh! That one, What about him?
Is he still trying to date you?
Is there anybody
Desmond is not trying to date?
Uhhh..
You know he was even trying
to date one of my other friends?
Are you serious?
As serious as a heart attack.
I'm not surprised.
Are you sure it's the same
Desmond, that drives the red car?
Yes! You know since you did
not give him the green light,
he moved on to the next
available ride.
Rubbish! Anyway
Hmmmn
I turned down all his stupid
advances. I mean the guy is married so
shhhsh
He obviously has no respect for his wife.
You should hear how
he talks about her, calls her stupid,.
Unintelligent, ugly.
- Oh, my!
- She is a horrible dresser
Desmond!
Desmond!!
Hey baby, you look
You bastard
You guys are mean!
Oh my gosh, I'm sure
that guy is in so much trouble right now.
I'm counting on it.
Stupid man! Instead of him to be
doing his work,
he's in the office,
busy toasting women up and down.
You know
I actually don't feel so bad
about him taking my
place for the training anymore.
- You are so mean
- Too mean!
I swear, so mean anyway speaking of mean.
Guess who called me
before you guys walked in?
- Who?
- Roti Serrano.
As in Moroti, Queens College?
Yup. Anyway, she goes
by the name Moroti Hassan now
I think she married one fine Hausa guy.
Of course she did. What did she want?
Well she called me to tell me about
the 20 year reunion for our set.
Apparently, she is
the head of the committee.
Why am I not surprised?
- I know right. Over sabi from time.
- Uh!
Anyway, she was calling to
ask us to RSVP with our spouses.
According to her,
it's strictly a plus one event you know.
Ah, doesn't this girl know that
you girls are not married?
Of course she does.
She is a very stupid girl.
She is just doing it to rub
it in. Gosh, I don't like that girl.
Please don't waste your emotions
on her. She doesn't deserve it. No.
Easy for you to say. You have Kelvin,
Toke has Mr. new lover
- Ahnahn!
- And I'm
here being harassed in clubs by gigolos.
Ehn? What?
When did that happen?
Are you guys telling me, you didn't
actually listen to my voice note?
- Ohh
- ohh
Sorry
But just... what happened... after I left?
Well
After you left, things got even hotter
between Mr fine face
and I on the dance floor
Hey lover
You wanna wanna drive me crazy
I want you for the entire day
You are my happy place
Hey lover
Hey lover
Hey lover
Hey lover
Hey lover
This song is for you
Ever since I met you
Excuse me, excuse me
Thank you
You take me high
Ehnehn...
Hanty, look, before
we go hand henter the car park,
I think we should discuss about price.
I couldn't believe my ears.
The guy had the worst H factor ever.
I can live with most things,
but a man with
an H factor is just a no-no
Ahh...
Uggh, there will be no need to
discuss price.
- Because I am not for sale.
- Ah!
I am talking about
the price of going home with you
and servicing you for the night.
Aunty, come now. You know what's up now.
Ah-ah!
I spent a good chunk of my night with you.
I could have been chasing other clients.
Are you mad? No, no, no. Are
you stupid?
- Aunty calm down...
- Are you mad?
- What are you saying?
- Calm down
Guy, what's the problem?
What's happening?
Is he harassing you?
- Yes! Yes, he is!
- Give me my money
Uggh!
Me, harass you?
She is lying joh! Someone...
that asked... for my services.
And now she doesn't want to pay.
Services? Which dirty
services? I said I am not interested.
So... the time I... spent with
you. Nothing?
Eh!
Guy, Guy, Guy, leave this woman
She is our person,
leave her, she is not interested. Go
- Leave her and go
- Madam, please be careful
- You can leave, she's not interested.
- With all these dirty boys o.
That's how they behave.
- -You can go.
- - That's how they behave.
- - Leave her.
- -
Madam, don't worry, you are our person.
Don't worry, let's walk you to your car
so no one harrasses you again.
Thank you jare
- Thank you, thank you so much.
- No problem
Let me find something for you.
Happy weekend ehn
Madam, more blessings.
Thank You. Thank You.
Really?
That must have been so horrible.
It was.
And if those bouncers
hadn't shown up when they did,
I don't even want to think
about what would have happened.
Sorry, so sorry. But your girl
had better luck.
Of course you did.
Message that I sent since Friday.
It's today you are asking me
"what messages did you send"?
Well,
I was in la la land.
Ah.
- We ate
- hmmm?
- And smashed.
- Ooh ohh
and we ate a little more
And smashed some more.
Then we ate and smashed. Ate and smashed
Ok, ok, we get it! Wow!
By the time I got home, I was so tired.
I just slept off immediately.
I hate you.
- Gloria you nko?
- Huh?
What's your excuse?
Because you also went AWOL.
Wait, Don't tell us Kelvin is back
in town and you didn't tell us.
I wish, anyways from all indications.
It appears none of us won the bet,
So I guess everyone holds on
to their designer assets.
- Halleluyah!
- Fair
But I still want that bag.
Okay, what is going on
First mumsy harasses
me for not going to church
and then the youth pastor of
my once in a while church calls.
Maybe this was a sign.
I really needed to be in church on Sunday.
Hello, Pastor T.
So Sunday came and I could
not believe how late I was.
So much for getting
there before service ends.
Pastor T had said he wanted to see me.
Most likely a little scolding for
not being in church for over a month
So I had to wait until
his meeting with the ushers was over
Thank you all for waiting
behind, we'll make this really quick.
A friend of mine came in from the States
and he is going to
be around for two weeks.
And I wanted him to share with you leaders
about leadership and success.
He's a world acclaimed writer
Please without saying too much
help me welcome my
dear and long-standing friend
Adefemi Omotosho.
Oh my God!
Thank you so much. Errm,
first and foremost
Everyone just calls me Ade.
That's a lot better. I am
here to talk about my book.
It's called The Epic and it is
going to be made into a Hollywood flick.
I am hoping that some of you'd read the
book and watch the movie hopefully.
So, I know you guys are
wondering what's the story here this time?
Well, Ade is one of my
ex-boyfriends from way back
About ten years ago.
He's hotter and richer now
than he was back then though
Or he definitely wouldn't be an ex
Sister Oyin
Pastor T is looking for you.
So I'm hoping that it actually
does well. Once people read it,
Like you can talk
about it in the church. Then
Hey. Oyin.
How are you today?
Oyinlola Clegg.
Adefemi Omotosho.
Long time no see.
Yea...
You two know each other?
Yes.
Very well actually.
Yes. Very well.
So.
How have you been?
Uhm I've been great.
I'd ask you the same question
but my eyes tell me
everything I need to know.
Small world, isn't it?
Ade here is like
a brother to me. We go way back.
Pastor T. Senior Pastor is
looking for you.
I'll be right back guys.
Ade and I were about to be
alone in Pastor T's office
Thank you daddy
master planner. You're the best!
May I offer you anything?
Tea, water, coffee, juice?
Are Are you sure?
We have fine wine as well.
Smallie, get out! You're
wasting valuable time!
- No, thanks.
- No. Thank you very much.
OK. Thank you.
You look even more
beautiful than the last time I saw you.
Hmm.
You don't look too bad yourself.
- You've changed a lot...
- Ah
That I have.
I have missed you
A lot.
Really?
Yea
I mean. In the last ten
years, I haven't found anyone who could
replace you in my life.
And everytime I was in
a relationship, somehow I
I managed to
carry you into it with me.
I guess that's why they didn't work.
I guess that's why I'm still single.
Yay! He's still single! He's
still single! Okay!
Okay Oyin, calm down, calm down!
Let him know
you're still available quickly!
Ah It's funny, I'm still single.
I've tried but
No one could take your place.
And I had to let them all go.
So this is not like
a coincidence or anything.
Us meeting here right now, like this.
I guess not. This has
to be divinely orchestrated.
I mean like, I left
the country over seven years ago
And I haven't been back ever since.
And the one time
I come back, we meet like this.
This must be like
the universe aligning or something.
I know right.
Look, I am in town for
a few weeks, I was wondering,
would you like to hang out?
You know show me
a few places where you go to...
have fun.
Why d'you want my hand?
Your phone.
Oh, my phone. I am so sorry.
- How else are we supoosed to hang out, if
- Ah...
you can't reach me?
Yes. Yes. I am so sorry.
Please put your number in here. Please.
Thank you.
Ade, I
I know things didn't
really end well between us
and I just wanted to say that
- I'm so sorry for how I...
- Hey, hey
Shhh
It's fine.
OK.
I mean, I was
I was hurt.
But that's all in the past. OK?
I am just glad that you can be mine
still.
It's a lie!
No one can tell me I haven't
died and gone to heaven!
This was too good to be true.
I'm glad I'm glad too.
Sorry for keeping
you guys waiting, you know how it is.
Yeah, it's fine.
You just gave us
time to catch up, that's all.
- Ah?
- Yeah.
Great! So Oyin,
to why I wanted to see you.
I would like you to be a
part of the singles committee.
They organise a lot
of events and fun outings
and you know all the fun places in Lagos.
I see your Insta and Whatsapp stories.
All of them?
All of them.
Errm...
I'm sure I can work something out.
So you'll join?
Yes Pastor T, I'll join the singles
committee.
- Great!
- But not for long pastor
Not for long.
Hello.
Yes I am purposely ignoring your calls
And no I do not want to talk about it.
Look, what happened was a mistake
and one I would like to forget.
So can we please just move on from that
and get on with our lives, please.
I have to go now, I have work to do.
Should I be worried?
About what?
Whoever is making you smile like that.
Ohh
This is just my friend
You have nothing to worry about.
I like the sound of that.
If you did like the sound,
why were you acting anxious?
You didn't have to
Excuse me.
Are you blind? Can't
you see this seat is taken?
No, I see it's taken alright
By my fiance and his next play thing.
Excuse you!
Derrick, what's going on here?
Derrick?
So you are Derrick to her?
Actually, his name is Peter
- Peter Omiyale.
- Tosan!
This is his instagram page.
And this is the IV to our wedding.
We are getting married in a week's time.
You're what Possibly the 15th girlfriend
he's had in the three
years that we've been dating.
Silly me.
I keep thinking that he'll change
But he's not going to change
He is never going to change.
So I guess that's it.
Baby
Baby, no!
Baby, look you can't do this.
Look, baby
Baby, You are the love of my life.
You know that is the
same thing he says every time
I threaten to leave him.
"Tosan, you are the love of my life"
"Tosan, you are my one and only"
"Tosan, it is you and I forever"
Well, not anymore!
The wedding is off.
Aunty,
he's all yours.
Excuse me.
Look, baby, I can explain.
- You are joking.
- No I'm not.
This girl was crazy.
She had to be If she stuck around
with him for that long
knowing he was cheating.
Arrgh!
Anyway, having been with
him, I think I can understand.
He is such a charmer
and this guy knows how to put it down!
Toksy-baby.
Ashawo
- Look at you.
- This is just so unfair.
Why are we so unlucky with guys?
Ah, No, no, no. it's not me and you guys.
It's not me and you guys.
Guess who I saw at church today.
Who?
- I said guess now.
- Ohhh!
Please just say it. Who?
Adefemi Omotosho.
Wha-what?
- The Ade?
- I know!
Wait. It's been like how many years now?
Ten Years. Babes, he has changed so much.
- He is now a best-selling author.
- Hmm-mmn
who travels the world
and hangs out with celebrities.
OK. So let me get this right. Celebrity
No, hangs out with celebrities,
travels the world, best selling author
tall, dark and handsome.
Er.
This is your type o.
Wait, wait is he single?
Hmm, I'm already ahead of you guys.
I'm checking him on google now.
You are checking him out!
Once bitten, forever shy.
Ladies, ladies don't worry, he is single.
And you know what the best part is
he said he misses me
and he wants us to get back together.
Look at you.
Wait, wait, wait Oyin.
This seems too good to be true.
Are you sure this guy is OK?
What's all this now?
What's all this?
So because he wants
to get back together with me
he must not be OK?
If you want to abuse me, just
abuse me. Insult me, insult me.
- Come on, you know I am your girl.
- Le-leave me!
I got your back.
Wait!
Stop, stop
and with this recent experience I've had,
if something feels too good to be true.
- It just might be too good to be true.
- It's too good to be true!
Please, Please, Please,
don't use your own
current situation to ruin mine
Ade and I are getting
back together and that's that.
Ok.
Alright.
But wait a minute.
Why did you guys break up again?
Or you mean,
why did Oyin break up with him?
Hmm-mn
Babe, babe, babe, babe,
look at me.
I just finished the book and it's
amazing. This one is going to be the one.
That's what you said about
the last two books over the past
three years.
No, no, no.
This time it's different. I can feel it.
Like this is... the book.
OK.
I've heard.
So
How far with the money
you said you were going to give me.
I uhm I
about that, I... managed to
raise about half of the money
but... the thing is... my sister's
hostel... accommodation is due.
And mumsy is sick now
Every time!
Every time I ask you for
money, you do this Ade!
You know what,
I can't do this.
I can't live like this.
You and I are over.
Hmm... Oyin was that really
how you ended it?
But... the thing is... my sister's
hostel... accommodation is due.
Mumsy is sick now.
Every time!
Every time I ask
you for money, you do this Ade!
Ehn-ehn...
So this is how you want to marry me
and punish me and make me suffer?
God will punish you.
You know what?
I'm done
I'm done with
your useless, jobless, broke ass.
Idiot. Please, please just leave me!
Let better people see me.
- Nonsense!
- Okay fine I was mean
We get the picture. That's enough.
I was... young.
- And I needed the money.
- Uhm.
I didn't have the kind of job I have now,
It was after we broke up
- I went to the UK to do my Masters.
- Ok.
Now if you had told me
that story like this, I'm sure
I would have remembered.
Oyin, you are so crazy.
Goodness!
Shut up joor!
I mean the guy
I was just so frustrated with the guy
And As a fine girl
That you is
That I am, I had needs now. Oh.
But I've changed now.
Oyin, you're so crazy.
I am going to pray for you.
Ossy, leave me joh.
So
What now with you and Ade?
I'll wait for him to reach out,
and if he doesn't, me I will call him sha
Maybe we should call,
we can help you call him.
I can handle it. Thank you.
Oh oh. See.
Did Ossy tell you about his cousin's
pool party? I'm just getting my invite.
Yeah, yeah he did.
He wants me to be his plus one.
Hmm-mm! Not with Ade in the picture now.
Anyway babes,
you are going to be my own plus one
Since I am boyfriendless now.
It's him! It's him!
And that's how Ade and I
started talking on the phone all day
And all night.
And of course, we overdid it
Are you okay?
What's wrong with you?
I've never seen you sleeping
in the office like this.
Hmmm-mmn
That's because
I haven't been in love like this.
Wake up.
Thank you.
There was nothing better than
knowing that he was mine
and I was his
And I couldn't wait to be his, forever.
Hey.
Hey!
You left me all alone.
Sorry.
So, who are we texting?
Err, Toks.
Work, is everything OK?
Yeah, everything is fine,
She was just asking if
I was coming for this thing.
What exactly is this thing?
It's nothing serious,
it's just a birthday party.
OK. So are we going?
You want to go?
Yeah, I mean,
what exactly are we doing here?
There is nothing happening here.
Are your friends going to be there?
Mmnn
Then I'd love to go.
Get to meet them,
get to know them. You know, bond.
OK. If you are sure.
Yeah.
I mean, that's what normal people do.
Introduce people, bond and all that stuff.
- Let me go change.
- Ok, Cool.
But this is fine though.
- Hey ladies!
- Hey.
Hi. How are you doing?
I thought you said,
you weren't coming.
It's really cool, yeah?
Yeah, thanks babe.
You do that.
Ah. Look at my girl. Glowing.
Thank you. It's love ooo.
I know right.
I know right, but I love this yellow look.
- Thank you.
- I go love o.
Amen! Amen!
- Nothing. Nothing.
- Is everything OK?
Yeah, it's fine. Just
a customer calling. Nothing serious.
Excuse me, I will be right back.
Well...
I had fun tonight.
So did I.
Did I tell you how beautiful you looked?
You did.
And also did I tell you that
all the guys couldn't stop staring at you?
Really?
I didn't, I didn't notice.
Because I only had eyes for one man.
Oh my!!!
If this is a dream,
I never want to wake up from it,
because everything is just
perfect!
OK. So This works?
Yeah. I prefer it to the other one.
Uhm.
Alright, Oh, have you decided on a design?
He's leaving.
Ade is going abroad in two weeks
and I'm worried.
I would really like some
form of assurance, before he goes.
I get what you mean
long distance
relationships can be a handful.
Hmmm.
What do I do?
You are not going to pick that?
Nope!
It's my mum.
And I really don't want to
talk about why I'm still not married.
Just pick up.
- I mean you can't ignore her forever.
- Hmm-mmn
Hey babe.
Hey babe.
Hope you still
like wearing those lovely gowns.
I'll come pick you up at seven
for a special dinner.
Make me drop dead when I see you.
I should absolutely be a stylist
I know. You did a good job.
You need more booty
and some vaseline.
But she looks absolutely gorgeous.
- She looks gorgeous. Look at her.
- Hmm-mnn
Hmmmn!
He's here!
Shhh Just wait.
I'll get the door.
You don't want too look too eager.
Okay.
Go girl, I'm so excited
- Hi!
- Hey
Errrm...
Good evening.
- Good evening.
- How are you doing?
Not bad at all. How are you as well?
I'm fantastic.
Errm, is she ready?
Well.
See for yourself.
Hey.
Hey.
Shall we?
Or would you rather spend
the entire evening looking at me?
Honestly
That's actually not such a bad idea.
But I
as tempting as that prospect is,
I actually have
something special planned for tonight.
Oh?
So we have to
we have to leave.
Is that fine?
Enjoy your evening.
And you too.
Yah!
This is nice.
Oh, I do try.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
You're welcome.
This has to be it!
The assurance I need.
No one goes through all of this trouble.
If it isn't a proposal
- Good hevening sir.
- Good evening.
Good heve
Good evening ma
May hl do the honors?
Oh please.
Care to share the joke?
Errr...
It's nothing really.
I just remembered this stupid guy.
Who was trying to outsmart me.
But he ended up
making a fool of himself instead..
Where?
Err... What's... for dinner?
Anything that you can think of,
is on the menu.
Oh! I like the sound of that.
Bring me some pepper soup for starters,
and
Make it snappy.
- Sir.
- Hm?
What would you have?
What she said.
Thank you.
That's a very weird individual.
Hmm-nn!
Anyway
tell me
what does your dream life entail?
Ahh...
Well.
It entails a future with you.
Lots of children, a big house filled with
happiness and laughter.
Babe...
Have I ever told you
that you are the most beautiful girl
that I have ever seen in my life?
Only about a million times.
Then, not nearly enough.
I was going to wait till after dinner
but I don't think I can wait any longer.
Oyin Clegg.
I
I have something for you.
This is for you.
So wait what were you expecting? Hm?
A wedding ring?
Oyin, you had me.
Then what did you do?
You threw me away.
I mean it's
it's been years but.
Remind me
you said I was foolish.
You called me an idiot.
I
You said I was jobless,
useless.
Basically, what you were
trying to imply
was that I had no future.
But now
you see me and
I'm somebody
and now you want to
waltz your way back into my life.
Trying to reap
where you did not sow.
I asked you
to tell me about your dream future.
What it entailed.
Well, let me tell
you what mine does not entail.
A gold digging
opportunist woman as my wife.
Have a nice life, Oyin Clegg.
Ade Ade
So, aunty,
I can see that uncle has left.
Tell me now,
When is the... wedding?
Useless Fool. Madman.
It will not be well with you.
Madman. Useless fool
Hanty! Hanty!
Hello
Hey babes
Ossy?
The one and only
I was at the office and
was told you called in sick.
What's the problem, love?
Nothing.
That's not what I heard.
- OK
- Ah ah
Which one is this monosyllabic
answers you are giving me?
Sorry.
Anyway, I'm at your door, open it.
Where?
You are at the door?
Don't keep me waiting.
Hm!
- Hey!
- Hey you.
How are you?
Come here.
I would say you look a hot mess,
but I guess you kind of already knew that.
Ossy, what's wrong with you?
Did
you go down a cup size or...
- Ossy!
- Sorry.
Ahnahn!
Sorry.
It seems like you haven't eaten in days.
Alright
I'll make you something to eat.
After all I am not
just a dashing young man,
I'm also very good in the kitchen.
So, what do you have in your
kitchen?
Let me know what I am working with.
- Don't burn the house down.
- Me?
OK. OK.
You tried, you tried.
- I tried?
- Small.
- See this girl o.
- Small.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking.
Ossy isn't bad at all.
I know and I agree
If only I could get past the fact that
that I don't connect
with him on a sexual level.
Trust me, I've tried
And there's the issue of his last name.
No way I'm exchanging Clegg
for... Oni-sa
However you say it.
You good right?
- Thank you.
- Alright.
By the way, I
left something for you under the
microwave,
I hope that will cheer you up.
What... I...
Oh my God!
Ossy!
Ossy!
And that's how Oyin Clegg got
her groove back
And was on her way to the airport.
Are you serious?
I swear down!
He really likes you.
I know
Maybe
I'll consider him when I get back.
Oh Are you serious?
Please, please.
Everybody, slow down.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Because the last time I pictured myself
walking down the aisle with someone,
it didn't end well.
Errr I guess.
We'll talk about it when I get back.
I have a flight to catch.
I
Mumsy is calling me
Oh. Ladies
Kelvin is calling me
too so I have to go, OK.
Alright babes, I'll keep you guys posted.
I'll let you know when
I get there. Love you. Bye
Bye.
- Hey baby, I've been...
- Oh you
Why've you been
calling my husband all the time?
Err...
You stay the hell away from my husband.
You hear me? He is married.
Read my lips!
- Excuse me, please...
- Married
- I would like to speak to Kelvin.
- Hear me
OK.
Now get lost hussy.
You still keeping some stupid
girl all the way in Nigeria?
You crazy son of a bitch!
Babe, I will call you back.
Sorry, I'll call you back.
I promise. I promise!
Ah!
Oh!
Ugh, shoot me now!
Of all people to run into
Hey Dear!
Moroti. Darling, how are you?
Fancy running into you.
I know right.
I mean Lagos is so big.
Who would have thought?
Actually
Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria
But I get your misguided point.
Hmph.
So, where are you headed?
- Dubai.
- Ah.
Yeah, I needed some me time.
And you are going alone?
What about you?
Where are you headed?
- To the UK, as always.
- Hmmm
Abdul and I are
taking the kids on a vacation.
As usual.
That's... nice.
Oh yes, It is. It is.
It can be very stressful, you know.
But I'd rather deal with
all of their wahala,
than not to have them at all.
You know what I mean.
- Yeah
- So
Are you coming for the 20th reunion?
I spoke to Gloria about it.
Yeah She mentioned.
Ah
So I take it both of you are not coming?
Considering the fact that you are supposed
to come with a spouse.
Okay, that's it!
Somebody hold me before
I jam my foot in this witch's mouth
I'm sorry I'm late dear.
Thank you for waiting.
Is this your friend?
Hello. Yomi
Kester-Jacobs.
I...
The Kester-Jacobs?
Is there any other kind?
Hi! Hi! It's really nice meeting you.
Hmmnn.
Oh Oyin, you never said anything,
considering the fact that we are friends
Ah
We've been trying to keep it hush hush.
I wouldn't want the media
and the tabloids
harrasing my girl now, would I?
And I'd like to keep it that way.
Of course, of course. Lips are sealed.
Thank you.
It would actually be an honor to have you
at our 20th reunion.
Oh. I thought you said it was for married
couples only.
Don't be silly Oyin,
I mean for him we can make an exception.
Well Babe and I, we have really crazy
schedules.
- But
- True.
- We'll take a look and we'll let you know.
- Hmm-nn
It's alright
It's really nice meeting you.
Indeed!
Nice meeting you
Oh, I need to rush and meet my husband.
But I have to pick
my child's pacifier first.
- Right. Bye!
- Bye.
Ugh. I thought she would never leave.
I can imagine.
I overheard your conversation.
And I just couldn't resist.
I had to be the prince
who saves the damsel in distress.
Thank you.
It's nice to meet you, Miss
Clegg. Oyin Clegg.
Ah!
So, you're going to Dubai.
Luckily for you,
so am I.
So I get to be the lucky man
who slays all the dragons in your path.
- If you don't mind.
- I
No, I don't.
Excellent.
Shall we?
He was travelling alone
And I was travelling alone.
So we decided to travel alone together.
No, I don't believe you.
That's not possible.
Look. Swear down. I have no idea,
how we survived boarding school in Ilorin.
What's wrong with you guys?
You mean to tell me
you've never done anything
that's completely
out of character for you?
- No!
- Hmm-mmn
OK!
It happened a few years ago
when Gloria was dating this
low life,
good for nothing,
absolute rubbish of a human being.
Ahnahn!
Tell us how you really feel then.
Sorry, it's just that every time
I remember I get pissed all over again.
So...
this guy was dating Gloria and
he is a married man.
But he was stringing her along.
So we were going to get our revenge.
We were going to do an Italian job on him,
but we decided for a greedy man.
He had been bragging to Gloria about this
contract that was coming for him,
how big it was and
how he had money in hand
and whatever. Fool!
He had a stolen proposal
to which he had only the hard copy,
he had no soft copy.
And then we
What's wrong?
Man, I'm off to the toilet.
My tummy is acting up, please.
That is how he lost the contract.
Mess with me and my girls
You will not get away with it.
I'm
I'm slightly scared of you now
You should be.
And just a little turned on.
Fool!
That's where they will see you.
Ah!
- I wish we didn't have to come back.
- Uhh
- Tell me about it.
- Really?
Then let's go back. Right now.
- Huh?
- We'll book the very next flight.
- Are you crazy?
- Only about you.
I had so much fun and...
- Ohh?
- My schedule is crazy.
And so it begins.
Look, I have to take this call.
It's OK, I'd like to say hi to my friend.
Hey!
What the hell was that?
What?
Don't' act dumb
Oyin. I saw him kissing you.
Oh. We met on the trip and we connected.
You
Wh What does that even mean?
You met him in like what,
four days and you connected.
And I've been here waiting
for you for two years?
I didn't ask you to.
Oh!
I see.
Look,
Ossy, I'm sorry if
Sorry for what exactly?
Ehn?
For dashing my hopes over and over again?
Or for falling for a guy
you met on a trip that I paid for?
I'm sorry
that things are the way they are.
Hey babes
Yea...
Who is this?
Err...
A colleague from work.
I am here waiting for my madam.
She's been away for about a week
and it seems her flight has been delayed.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, you know.
The things we do for love.
Tell me about it.
Listen, how about we go wait in the car
While they sort out our luggage?
- Hmm?
- See you at the office.
Yeah. Pleasure meeting you.
Same here.
- What?
- I know.
All this for just you?
- Ah. He spoiled me sick
- Wow!
Are you kidding me?
Oh, this particular day was so much fun.
But wait, why didn't you put this
on your insta-stories
and Whatsapp stories now?
Well, Yomi is very particular about media
and tabloids.
Oh, yea...
That now explains how Ossy didn't
even know what was going down in Dubai.
Ugh! Can you not remind me about that?
I'm so not looking forward
to bumping into him on Monday.
Which is a good thing,
you guys never dated. So,
Or did you ever maybe have something?
- Nah.
- Nothing at all?
Sorry ladies, I'll be right back
Dubai Babe!
Hmm-nn...
So.
How is she handling Kelvin's betrayal?
She's been very withdrawn.
Men are scum!
- Simple!
- Except my Yomi
I hear you!
Oh.
Hello, Pastor T.
Good afternoon.
Yes, I was out of town on err
An official trip.
What?!
Was the trip not
mandated and paid for by my boss?
- What else is an official trip
- Yeah, I'm fine
Everything is just perfect.
At least that's what I believed until
Wait
Is that not Ossy?
No, No, No. Wait!
Just take it easy.
-
- What the hell are you doing with Ossy?
Ehnn... Don't even try to deny it
- because we saw you outside kissing!
- Right now
Ossy is my boyfriend.
He's your what?
- Your boy what? Your boyfriend?
- Gloria.
Are you for real?
Because this is my Ossy ooo!
Ehn?
What did you say?
Girl, watch what you say
or I will scratch out your eyes.
What do you mean by your Ossy?
Ossy has never been yours.
He is not yours and he will never
be yours.
So get that straight. He is not yours.
- Are you for real? Are you serious?
- Am I for real?
Ok! ok! Please calm down.
I am very calm. OK!
Let me ask you.
Are you the only one that wants to marry?
You think it's just you?
And what is so wrong with a single guy,
a very single guy for that matter,
wanting to settle down with someone
at my 36 years of age?
- Hmmn!
- He wants to settle down with you?
Is that what he told you?
Because he was seriously
talking about marriage with me
only a few weeks ago.
Well...
Sisterly, things can
change in a few weeks.
Oh. And this your few things
they are very, very confusing.
Because I can't even remember you and Ossy
being friends
- and now you are talking marriage.
- Can you imagine?
Must you know everything?
Woah.
God. And it's thanks to you.
- What?
- Yeah.
It's all thanks to you.
It all started at the night,
at the club,
when you told me to get rid of him.
He didn't want to go home
and I didn't want to go home either.
So we decided to go to another club.
I tried to get him to stop drinking
but it didn't really work.
He was hurting for
Oyin and I missed Kelvin too.
Before I knew it, we were both drunk,
but he was way more than I was.
Ehnehn!
So the two of you have been
sleeping together this whole time?
No, It was just that one time.
And although,
he did try to reach out to me,
He didn't want you to
know about it and neither did I.
And then he saw
you and Yomi at the airport
and he figured that there was no use of
him waiting for you, so he came to me.
I was already in a bad place with Kelvin
and
We just sort of clicked.
Wow!
How touching.
Oyin, please...
Please.
Thinking about it, you actually
don't have a right to be angry.
You are happy with Yomi, aren't you?
You are happy.
So if Gloria and Ossy feel they have a
chance together.
I think the only thing
you can do is to just support them.
Fine. Whatever.
It's just
I was just surprised.
- Shocked.
- Me too.
But But
You deserve to be happy.
We all deserve to be happy o!
At least some of us don't have
any man in our life. So
Oh by the way ladies one more thing.
Oyin
Would you
be my chief bridesmaid?
What?
I told you Ossy was serious.
And he actually proposed.
But I wanted to let you girls know first,
And you beat me to it.
Congratulations.
Isn't it too soon?
Hey love
Hey babe, where are you?
Yeah, I'm with Toke and Gloria,
What's up?
Great!
Some of my friends just got into town
and I need you to come
with your girls so we can hang out.
Uh.
Oh Sure. The girls will need to change
and get ready though.
You can just send an uber
and pick us at Toke's house.
I'll send you the address.
I'll send the driver
that'll come pick you.
OK. See you soon.
Bye.
Erm...
That was Yomi. He wants to hang out and
wants me to bring you guys along
If you are feeling up to it.
Cool, it's fine. It's
fine. I'll just go change.
Okay
No-no
Let's just go, because
I... don't want to talk about that.
Wooh!
Hello!
Will you marry me?
Yes!
Oh my God!
Congratulations!
- I am so happy for you.
- I am getting married you guys!!!
- This is beautiful.
- I know!
It all feels so surreal.
Girls. I can't believe this is happening.
Congratulations.
Gloria, about your request.
Yes, I'll be your chief bridesmaid.
Yes!
And that's how I became the
trending topic on the internet
and everything started happening so fast
First, I had to perform my
bridesmaid duties
Then I faced
the stress of picking my aso-ebi
Figuring out the guest list
And the weight of
settling for the perfect dress
thankfully my darling husband to be
wasn't sparing any costs
In the midst of it all, I had
to settle my friend, after all,
Gloria was now married to Ossy,
and I was getting married to Yomi.
It was just right that Toke should have
someone
to settle down with as well
With all the love and friendship in
the air
I couldn't wait for my big day to come
Oyin Clegg was finally getting married!
Yomi
Yomi
Yomi
Go in. He wants to see you.
Hey lover
This song is for you
Ever since I met you
I am not the same girl
You take me high
High like a bird
Take me to a place
Where I have never been
It's alright, Oyin!
Mummy, it's not. It's not.
Have you not heard what we've been saying?
Toke thinks I should break up with him
and collect hush money to keep his secret.
At this level?
What do you mean?
So Toke wants you to continue
to be single like her,abi?
Mummy!
No, wait... let me talk.
Oyin.
Every marriage has it's own peculiarities.
Ok.
You remember at your Uncle Tade's burial?
The light skinned tall woman
with two boys?
Yeah, the one
that you said was your cousin.
Well, she is not my cousin
We had to tell
you childreen that so you don't
think bad of your uncle.
She was your uncle's side chic.
And the two boys were for your uncle.
And your Aunty Dunni. She is single again.
Why?
Her husband started dating a younger girl.
She was thrown out
of the house with her girls.
And all the inheritance,
gone to another woman.
So you see.
You do not have to worry about these
things if your husband is gay.
- He is not my husband yet.
- Hmnn
My pastor thinks I should end things
and have nothing to do with
the Kester-Jacobs family.
Your pastor?
Hello Pastor. How are you? Oh, I'm fine.
Oyin is here with me.
Concerning what we discussed yesterday.
I'll hand her the phone now.
- You told him?
- Yes na, I had to!
When you called crying yesterday like
the world was coming to an end. Take it
Take this phone from my hand.
Hello Sir
Oyin, how are you?
I'm fine sir.
Your mother told me what happened between
you and your fiance.
There is nothing God cannot do.
Sir, did she give you all the details?
Yes.
She did.
That is why I said,
there is nothing God cannot do.
Ah!
Sir
I don't know about this one o!
Have I not been your family pastor
since you were a child?
Was I not the one who christened you?
You are, sir.
So trust me Oyin.
We can remedy this situation.
You can both come for
counselling and deliverance
And thereafter, you come for the wedding.
There is nothing God cannot do.
OK.
Have you heard?
Ah!
I've heard.
You can give the phone to your mother.
Let me have a word with her.
Thank you sir.
Pastor.
Ok, ok, sir.
Alright, Thank you.
Alright, Bye.
So?
Mummy.
I don't know
What don't you know?
This is common in high society Lagos.
Yomi is from a good
family, he spoils you silly.
He can give you children, so what else do
you want? Oyin.
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
The devil you know
is better than
the angel you do not know.
I've said my part.
This is all so confusing
If you were in my shoes,
what would you do?
Listen to Pastor T and have nothing to do
with Yomi and his family?
Take Toke's advice and
collect hush money for keeping his secret?
Listen to my mum?
Or do what me and
the girls did to Johnson?
