UCHE (CONT’D)

 

I chefuola ihe niile m mere ezinulo gi. O bu otu i akwu m?

 

Screen Translation:

Tell me, Chioma. You want to leave me. You have forgotten everything I did for your family. Is this how you pay me?

 

UCHE (CONT’D) (looks at Chioma)

 

I know Emeka better than you do. He was my best friend in the university. He is a flirt and a very dishonest person for that matter. I can assure you that he doesn’t have any decent plan for you.

 

CHIOMA (pleads softly)

 

Please keep your eyes on the road while driving.

 

Uche laughs, brimming with anger, and looks away to the road ahead.

 

UCHE

 

A man who flirts with you while expecting a baby with another woman, what does that tell you about his character? Won’t he flirt with another woman while expecting a baby with you? You’re an intelligent woman, do the math.

 

UCHE (CONT’D) Look at the way he was even

 

dressed; like a drug dealer. He has always had a thing for fast money. I won’t be surprised if that fool pushes drug for a living. I heard he is now based in Germany. What do they do in Germany, if not drug trafficking?

 

CHIOMA

 

He is not a fool. He is a nice person. I spoke to him for a few minutes and he is responsible and educated.

 

Chioma defends Emeka, which infuriates Uche.
