A white Billionaire and the Nigerian woman 

STAY AWAY FROM JESSICA. WELL, this is unexpected. Stay away from Jessica. I’m serious. So am I. No more messages. No more photos. No more games. No sender, no name. A plane ticket from Lagos to New York. Some journeys change everything. A ticket from Lagos to New York. Let me call Ethan.

  Ethan, please pick up. I need you. The number you are trying to call is currently switched off. Oh no, his phone is off. Come on, Ethan. Pick up. Nothing again. Voicemail. Jessica’s heart begins racing. I need to see Ethan now. Taxi over here to Leki quick. Ley, right away ma’am. Drive fast, please.

 Can’t wait to see Ethan. Oh, thank you. Oh, hold this 10k naira. Ah, thank you, ma. Save Johnny. Eat. I’m here. Coming now. Madame Jessica. Where’s Ethan? Sunday. Where is he? He left early this morning. What? Left for the airport? The airport? ETHAN, WHERE ARE YOU? I CAN’T FIND ETHAN ANYWHERE.

Ladies and gentlemen, please proceed to your gates. Ethan, over there. Ethan. Jessica, you’re leaving? What? Why didn’t you tell me? Jessica, calm down. No, answer me. Where did you get that? Someone left it at my house. Victor. Then why are you here? I’m not leaving permanently.

 I’m sending documents to America. That’s all. Okay. You thought I was leaving without saying goodbye. Look at me. I would never do that to you. I’m sorry. No. Victor wanted exactly this. For us to stop trusting each other. The airport plan failed. Good. Good. Every failed move teaches me something. Such as their relationship is stronger than I expected.

I don’t know why we’re buying all these things. Because food is important, not more important than looking good. That’s why nobody takes you seriously. I take myself seriously. Oh, I’m so sorry. No problem. Are you okay? I’m better now. Here we go. Sorry. Nothing. Please continue. Well, it was nice meeting you.

Wait. Yes. You forgot something. What? My phone number. Jesus Christ. You’re very confident. Life is too short to be shy. I’m Daniel. Linda, maybe I’ll see you again. Maybe. I was hoping for definitely. Definitely. You just met him and I already like him.

Hopeless. Come on, let’s get this. You went to the airport? Yes. Without calling first? Yes. You are officially in love. Maybe. Maybe. You chased a man to the airport. You’re gone. Anyways, I met this guy today at the shopping mall. He’s so handsome. A new guy? Yes.

 What happened to your boyfriend? Leave that guy. I beg. This new guy get money and na be careful. Oh, yahoo. Yahoo. Full everywhere. And I see they enjoy your embo boyfriend. Sh they sweet you. Victor won’t stop. I know. No, you don’t understand. Victor only becomes more dangerous when he’s frustrated. What are you saying? I’m saying protect Jessica.

Protect Jessica. Ah, my son-in-law. Mama, what did I lie? And that’s the secret ingredient. You see, mama has started again. Somebody has to tell the truth. I can’t wait to taste this food. I’m hungry already. Patience. It’s almost ready. Can I ask you something? Depends.

What scares you most about us? Distance. The idea that one day you’ll go back to America and life will happen. Jessica, I didn’t choose Nigeria. I chose you. Never forget that. I believe you, Ethan. I love you, Jessica. I love you too, my African princess. Can I help you? I hope so.

 Who are you? Victor Williams. Ethan’s brother. Ethan’s brother. I’d like to talk. What do you want? Just a conversation about Ethan? Yes. What about him? It’s important. And what exactly are you trying to say? Ask Ethan why he really left America. What are you talking about? You seem like a man who protects his family. I do.

  Then you should know something. What? You don’t know the real Ethan. Meaning ask him why he left America. Ask him, then decide if he’s the right man for Jessica. Why did Ethan leave America? Why did Ethan leave America? For the first time, I begin doubting Ethan again.

Remember the first day we met? You mean when I spilled food on you? Exactly. The best accident of my life. You changed everything. So did you. No matter what happens next, promise me something. What? Promise you’ll always come to me first. Not rumors, not fear. Me. I promise.

Why is everyone staring? Look at her phone. Jessica, you need to see this. What? Oh my god. American billionaire secretly dating Nigerian woman. More photos, more headlines, more gossip. The story is everywhere. Oh my god. No, no, no. Now the real game begins. Afternoon light on the hardwood floor.

Don’t need to ask for anything more. You’re the anchor in the rushing. Jessica. Is this really you? The whole internet is talking about it. Hello. Yeah. What’s up? Another call. Who is it? I don’t know. Hold on. Your phone is going crazy. I know. It won’t stop ringing.

 Oga, I think America has found Nigeria. What now? Your relationship is trending. You’re the anchor in the rushing tide. My heart is open wide. Oh my forever is with you. My forever is with you. I’ve been thinking about our relationship on the internet. It’s so different from real life.

  That’s her daughter, the one dating the billionaire. What are you saying? Nothing, Mama Jessica. Ignore them. It’s not that easy. People talked before you were born. They’ll talk after we are gone. with you. Now they acting like they’re billionas now. I beg my hand. Good afternoon, mama.

Linda, how are you? Jessica home? Yes, she’s inside. Okay, let me check on her. Have you seen social media? Unfortunately, people are fighting in the comments. No, seriously. Half support you, half hate you. Welcome to internet fame. Wonderful. Fame is not easy, but at this point, I don’t care.

  That’s the spirit. We need to talk. Rough day. The worst. Mine too. Do you regret it? Regret what? Us. Never. Not for one second. Do you? Not even a little. Look at me, Jessica. We’re in this together. I’m sorry. I should respect your home.

I’m an adult, Ethan. The American billionaire appears serious about his Nigerian girlfriend. Your uncle called me for what? He said we need to talk. I’m nervous, but I will go see him today. I love you. Love you, too. Why are you smiling? Because they’re reacting exactly how I expected.

 And now, now we increase the pressure. Why did you leave America, Victor? He spoke to you. Answer the question. That’s not the whole truth. Because I wanted a different life. What aren’t you telling us? Years ago, my father wanted me to take over the family company, and I refused.

That’s all. Don’t need to ask for anything more. You’re the No. The room becomes silent. Victor supported my father. I didn’t. The family was torn apart. Eventually, I left. Not because I was running away. Because staying was destroying all of us. Looking for dishonesty. Finding none. You came all the way here.

 Someone has to defend Ethan. You really think he needs defending? I know he does. Victor wants people to doubt him. Don’t help him. Trust the man you know, not the stories people tell. But what if the stories are true? Oh, my forever is with you. Hi, I’m here to see Victor Williams.

He’s in room 905. The east elevator will take you. Thank you. Well, this is unexpected. STAY AWAY FROM JESSICA. You don’t want to find out. I’m serious. So am I. No more messages, no more photos, no more games. You think this is funny? Actually, yes. Listen carefully because I’m only going to say this once.

 If you come near Jessica again, if you involve her in your problems again, if you so much as mention her name or what, you’ll find out this is between you and me. Keep it that way. I hate that you’re being dragged into this. I’m not a child. I know. And I chose this. I chose you. You have no idea what that means to me.

When this is over, I want a future with you. A future. A real future. I’m serious. So am I. and wide. Oh, my forever is with you. Forever is with you. Afternoon on the hardwood floor. Hello, Linda. Hi, it’s Linda from the supermarket. The confident woman who gave me her number.

I prefer the beautiful woman. Ah, my mistake. The beautiful and confident woman. Much better. So, what do I owe this call? I was checking if you saved my number. I did. Really? Of course. Under what name? Trouble. That’s rude. Accurate though. I haven’t even done anything yet.

Exactly. The yet is what worries me. I like you already. That was fast. Life is short. Remember? You actually live by that rule every day. Interesting. Most people call me stubborn. I can see that. Excuse me. You chased a complete stranger through a supermarket and look how well it worked.

Fair point. Can I ask you something? Sure. Are you always this easy to talk to? No, only when I’m talking to someone interesting. So, are we still doing coffee tomorrow? Definitely. Good, because I already told my cousin we’re getting married. Linda, relax. I’m joking. Tomorrow at 2, I’ll be there.

Looking forward to it. Me, too. Good night, Linda. Good night, Daniel. After light on the hardwood floor. It was a successful happy day. Let me change for the night and get to bed. for the anchor. Much better. Time for sleep.

  Unknown number. A message. It contains a photograph. Ethan with another woman. He’s holding her hand so close. What? Who is this? No, this can’t be real. You know what? I won’t let this bother me. I know it’s Victor playing this crazy game. I’m over it. Let me lay down jaw. Let’s see if love survives this.

  Jessica, I have a confession to make. What confession? I used to hate you and eat relationship secretly that I wished he was mine, but I noticed I can’t break your bond. So, I decided to let you both be. Linda, I am sorry. I was just acting like a human. Wow. I forgive you. Sh. Thanks for letting me know.

 I pray God gives you your own man. God has given me already. I have a date today. That’s why I’m doing all this work out. So you for no confess if another man will show up. No be so sorry now. You look happy again. Maybe because nobody has sent me strange messages today. I prefer this version of you, the nonstressed version. Exactly.

  You’re the anchor in the rushing tide. With you, my heart is open wide. Oh, my forever is with you. My forever is with you. What happened? Nothing. That’s a lie. Why? Because your jaw is tight. You only do that when you’re angry. You’re becoming dangerous.

I know you too well. I spoke to Victor and I told him to stay away from you. You fought because of me. I do worse than fight for you. Oh, my forever is with you. My forever is with you. It’s only coffee. Exactly. How about this one? That looks great. Let me try it on.

  Then why have you changed clothes seven times? Because first impressions matter. You already met him. Second impressions matter, too. Forever is forever. Wow. What? You look amazing. Now I understand why everyone in the supermarket kept looking at you. Please continue.

I knew you’d enjoy that. The chemistry is natural. Tell me something. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done? Called a man I met in a supermarket. Fair enough. I’m beginning to enjoy your company. I’m glad. You look stunning today. Thank you. You’re not so bad yourself.

Cheers to us. Cheers. Can I ask something? Depends. When did you know? No. What? That you liked me? The day you remembered my dream. Your mother’s health. Nobody ever listened that carefully before. I always will. Can I be honest? That’s usually dangerous. I wasn’t expecting to like you this much. You’re funny. You’re confident.

And you never pretend to be someone else. You look absolutely stunning. No man has ever complimented me like that. What? Nothing. I’m just not used to hearing nice things. Then the people around you haven’t been paying attention. So Ethan, how rich are you exactly? Ah, Ethan, you must be very rich.

Jessica, is this true? Your obsession with my money is worrying. I’m just gathering information for future negotiations. Everything okay? Just work. You look worried. It’s nothing. I’ll handle it. But something feels off. Something he’s not saying. I’ll handle it.

 ever is with you. I had a good day. Me, too. Actually, I had a perfect day. No drama, no Victor, no problems. Just us. Just us. I could get used to this. Me, too. Jessica, I don’t mean to rush you, but I feel like we’re missing something. What? S E X, man. Ethan, good night.

 When it’s time, we will have it and be tired of it. But I look forward to it. Yes. The board meeting is complete. I see you now control the company. Good. What’s next? Now we bring Ethan home. with you. My heart is open wide. Oh my. You look beautiful today. Thank you, handsome.

  Catch me if you can. You’re on. Come here. You I love this wide. Oh, my forever is with you. NO, NOT LIKE THIS. THEY CAN’T TAKE IT ALL. I HAVE TO GET THIS BOX TO SAFETY. FASTER. They’re closing in. Find him. There he is. Stay back. THERE HE IS. TAKE HIM DOWN. GET THE BRIEFCASE.

 After all these years, you should have sold us the land. This land belongs to the people. Not anymore. Why are you smiling? Because you’re too late. What? I moved everything. Get away from my husband. You’re finished. No, you are. Surround them. It’s the police. Fall back. DAVID. 3 years earlier, David had only one thing to his name.

 A broken bicycle and a farm. Everyone laughed at the billionaire farmer. Farmer David, when will you buy a car? A car? Not today, my friends. We came this morning and found everything like this. Someone did this deliberately. Who would do this? My farm. I’ll find them. The Johnson family is interested in that farmland. Not for long.

 What are you planning? The poor should remain poor. Where is David? I am here. Chief Balugun. Good afternoon, Chief. I hear you’re still farming. Yes, Chief. After all these years. Tell me, David, has farming made you rich yet? Not yet. Then perhaps it’s time to accept reality. You were born poor.

You will die poor. Sell your land to me. Take the little money and stop embarrassing yourself. The land is not for sale. What did you say? I said the land is not for sale. Do you know who you’re talking to? Yes, chief. Then be careful. Some people disappear for less. My answer is still no mockingly. A farmer refusing me. Interesting.

 Very interesting. Everyone here is a witness. This stubborn farmer believes he has a future. Mark my words. You’ll regret this decision. David, your vegetables look fresh today. Fresh from my farm this morning. How much for the carrots, David? 200 naira, my sister. Best price. All right, I’ll take some.

HERE COMES FARMER DAVID, THE FUTURE BILLIONAIRE. PLEASE, does any of you know David the farmer? Yes. Drive forward. Turn right. Then his table is right there. Are you David Admi? Yes. I’ve been looking for you. Why? Because your farm is worth billions. Billions. His farm.

Yes. No, not her. What happened here? Someone destroyed months of work. Do you suspect anyone? No. Don’t worry, David. We will get to the root of the matter. It’s okay, Sophia. I believe it shall be well. You knew someone would target David. I suspected it.

Then why didn’t you warn him? Because I needed to know if he truly has his father’s strength. You keep talking about his father. Who exactly was he? 25 years ago, I was nothing. What accident changed everything? What accident? Please tell me. Sir, can you hear me? I’ve got you. Hold on.

His pressure is dropping. More fluids now. Why are you helping me? Because that’s what human beings do. Stay with us, Mr. Johnson. Thank you. That man saved my life. Everything I have today exists because of him. Then why didn’t you help his family after he died? I searched for them, but someone made sure I never found them.

Chief Balogon. Exactly. You are Samuel’s son. How do you know my father? Because I was there the night he died. What? Your father was murdered. That’s impossible. Meet me tonight behind the old church. Come alone. Your father discovered something. Something worth millions. Land. Very valuable land. He refused to sell it.

 To who? Chief Bal, no. NO. STOP. Damn it. Listen. The documents. Your father hid them before he died. Find the red box. It’s done. Good. But David knows something now. Then it’s time to finish what we started 25 years ago. Where have you been? Mama, how exactly did father die? Mama, don’t cry.

 So, how did father really die? Please tell me the truth. Your father did not die in an accident. He was murdered. By who? Chief Balogon. This land belongs to the community. Name your price. It’s not for sale. Everybody has a price. Not me. Follow him. And all these years you kept quiet.

I was protecting you. No, mama. You were protecting him. David, wait. David, tell me everything. Sophia, it’s bad. He is behind all of it. Then we expose him. We have no proof. Maybe we do. I’ve been searching for hours. Nothing. Wait. This floorboard is loose. What’s this? A red metal box.

  A red box. Documents and an old old papers. Auto recorder. I’m sure this is the evidence I need to bring Chief Balongun down. He pie my father and sweep it under the carpet. And now he’s after my life. But I won’t let him get away with it. If anything happens to me, Chief Balogan is responsible.

  He wants to steal the land containing the mineral deposits discovered beneath the farms. This is enough evidence. I knew it. That man is up to something. With all the threats I get from him, we must act now. He’s dangerous. What? The evidence has been found. Find David immediately. We are filing this complaint against the land grabbers.

 This is for our people and our future. Breaking news. A major farmland scandal rocks the community. No more corruption. You investigate these claims. I think this is Chief Balugan’s office. Yes. Let’s go in. All right. Let’s go. After you. Sir, we have an order to bring you to court immediately.

 This is not an arrest, but if you refuse to come with us, we may be forced to arrest you. Who gave the order? A homie. He’s from the court, sir. This is outrageous. You can’t do this. We don’t have much time to spend. Get all you need and come with us. This is crazy, man. Okay, let’s go. What will be will be. CHIEF BALAGON, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY? I AM INNOCENT. THIS IS A SETUP.

 You are under arrest for murder, fraud, conspiracy, and illegal land acquisition. Chief Chief, this isn’t over. No, it’s finally over. Welcome to AdMi Agricultural Group, where our team ensures smooth operations. All right, team. LOAD UP THE TRUCK. LET’S MOVE. In the fields, our workers tend the crops with care and precision.

This is the heart of Nigerian. GOOD MORNING, SIR. GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. WELCOME BACK, SIR. Thank you. It’s good to be here. People laughed when I said farming would change my life. Today, I stand here because I refuse to quit. Happy and applause. Never be ashamed of honest work.

  Mr. Billionaire Farmer. Mrs. Billionaire Farmer sounds better. Do you remember what you said the first day we met? Which part? That one day this farm would make you rich. And now look at it. I was wrong. It made me more than rich. It gave me purpose. It gave me family. And it gave me you, Sophia Johnson.

 You believed in me when nobody else did. Will you marry me? YES. I love you. This is our grand celebration, my children. I’m so happy. You make us all proud. Let’s dance, my love, forever with you. Now the morning come. See as we run the over time for long story from the mainland to the island we fly.
