|POETIC INTRO|
"Who is he without sovereignty?
Can he be Authority without affluence?
From the golden rings on her ears to the golden rings on her hands, all I can see is a woman drained of unquestionable power.
We dared her feet to touch the ground, she dared us to walk barefooted.
Indeed she's wealth itself but who is she without a man? They dared her to counter for they believed she was nothing without a man. She dared to decipher :
where was man before labour, Where were you when her breast was hurting from the consequences of breastfeeding? "
"Pacing from left to right, Mrs Adeaoji wears a dubious smile like she had it all figured out. Her feet were coated in hills home to rear diamond, her hands holding on to the rarest of Louis Vuitton purses and her ears hosting the most colourful of all rings listed last summer"
MR A BALOGUN
What is it Mrs Adesoji? What do you want?
Mrs ADESOJI
What do I want? I have told you already I want everything you and your family took from me and I will begin by taking Lagos from you.
(gazes at Mr A Balogun)
MR A BALOGUN
Wow, I get it now. You want the seat .
You want Lagos ! you want to be king
(He sighs in mockery)
MRS ADESOJI
Yes, Ayo I want it all and you will let me have it.
(She places a finger on his light hairy chest)
MR A BALOGUN
We both know that will never happen and trust me woman your guns remains worthless as long as my father breathes. Chief himself will come for you so stop yourself now that you can.
(He wears a contagious smile)
TINA
Madam abeg nor mind waitin he dey talk me I dey fear gun ooo.
(She trembles)
MR A BALOGUN
Shut up your mouth Tina This is between me and her let me handle this.
(He said in a frantic tone)
Mrs ADESOJI
I suggest you don't take his advice because his choices will very much affect your life in ways you may never imagine.
TINA
Ahh God !
"naso I take die?Ayo give her watin she want na you won carry Lag go heaven?this woman go off us like this oh guy open eye abeg!"
(She places both her hands on her head)
MR A BALOGUN
Leave her out of this please. This is between both of us she's got nothing to do with this.
Mrs ADESOJI
That depends on the choices you make. Perhaps seeing this will motivate you to cooperate.
(She hands him a video clip)
Your sex tape will be released on all social media platforms and blogs and we both know this won't just kill your chances of winning but also Festac shares value. We both know Chief actions can never be predicted when it comes to his money. You Have Twenty-four hours to do the needful. Step down or lose it all!
MR A BALOGUN
Please we both can work this out Biko you don't have to do this
(He holds on to Mrs Adesoji's hands)
Mrs ADESOJI
Just do the needful!
"let's go boys"
(She commanded her boys as she held towards the door)
_____________________________________
TINA
Ayo, what do we do ? We are finished that tape cannot be released what do I tell my mom? My siblings who are looking up to me? How do I face my friends and church people?
MR A BALOGUN
Shut up Tina, let me think for a minute. Do you think this is just about you alone? This will affect everything I and my family has worked so hard to achieve. My father will eat me live, my wife won't forgive me, my political career will be terminated, every God-damn thing Tina!!!
(He tries to put to rest his trembling fingers)
TINA
So what do we do, Ayo? We can't just sit here na we have to act fast we have just Twenty-four hours.
(she paces left right the room space)
MR A BALOGUN
I have an idea but we will have to involve a third party.
TINA
Don't say your father! we both know asking for his help must come with diehard consequences and they usually exceed that which we may be asking for.
MR A BALOGUN
I know, we do not have to involve my father.
Since
Since we can't reach out to the head, then we will have to try the neck.
TINA
Your Mom, wow that is clever Ayo, you should do that.
MR A BALOGUN
Alright I have to take my leave now I will keep you posted on how it goes please be very careful.
(He wears his pants)

"What a stressful day, Bayo said to himself as he drops his tired body on the Couch"
TEMI
(She walks into the sitting room)
Good Evening, Bayo
BAYO
Good Evening Temilade, how was work today?
(He stretches his body)
TEMI
Work was okay and yours?
BAYO
Stressful as usual!
TEMI
Sorry about that, you really look stressed seems Grandpa ain't easy to work with.
(Temi teased)
BAYO
At least is better than working for the less privileged. How many motherless babies did you save today?
(He mocked)
TEMI
I know where this is heading but I will rather reserve my comment.
I attended to this sweet seven years old girl today her name is Awelle
(She said in excitement)
BAYO
I thought you rather reserve your comments? Why the excitement, What is exciting about children? They are difficult to reason with and very disorganized.
(He picks up a bottle of whiskey)
TAIWO
(He walks into the room)
Remember you were once one!
TEMI
Taiwo!
(She hugs Taiwo in intense excitement.)
BAYO
Wow!
it seems the prodigal son has returned.
(He claps in mockery)
TAIWO
Thank you brother as ridiculous as that sounds, I won't let you ruin my mood this evening.
(He wrapped his right arm around Temi's shoulders)
MARIA
(She walks into the room)
Oh ma you are back?
(She carries Temi's shoes and bag)
I will put these in your room.
TEMI
Oh no dear I might be leaving for the mall I need to get something
MARIA
Oh alright. How was your day ma?
TEMI
My day was okay and its Temilade leave the Ma for the elders
MARIA
Sorry ma, what would have for dinner?
TEMI
(She smiles at Taiwo)
Prepare Taiwo's favorite!
BAYO
(Appears jealous)
What about me, you didn't ask me what I would want for dinner.
MARIA
Sorry about that Sir, what would you love to have for dinner?
BAYO
Anything outside his favorite and my bag and tie is also not where they are suppose to be, I know you adore Temi but doesn't mean there should be room for prejudice in this house.
(He wears an expression revealing nothing but factual jealousy)
TAIWO
Let Maria be, Bayo, you don't have to act all jealous and sound like a crying baby waiting for his mother's breast.
(He teased Bayo)
BAYO
So how long are you staying half brother?
TAIWO
I don't know maybe a millennium from today
BAYO
We both know you've formed the habit of working out of your family, so I wouldn't take your words seriously all I ask is that you stay out of my way and know your place.
(Hevgets up to leave)
TAIWO
Likewise baby bro!
(He stares right into Bayo's Pupils)
BAYO
(He ignores Taiwo and speaks to Temi)
By the way have you seen mom today?
TAIWO
She's upstairs, Taiwo replied. I asked the one whose got a Mom not you!
TEMI
Bayo that was unnecessary its too early to be an ass to your brother
(She said in a soft tone so as to maintain serenity)
BAYO
You are too Elittle to question my choice of words.
(He walks out of the room)
TAIWO
Let him be
TEMI
But Bayo has no right to speak to you in such manner you are the first son of this family, he just has to come to terms with that.
TAIWO
It's okay, I'm used to it. Let's not let him ruin our mood tonight so how was your day as a doctor? Tell me all about it.
(He changed the subject of discussion)
TEMI
It was very exciting don't worry I will tell you all about it after dinner
(She rest her head on Taiwo's left shoulder)
_____________________________________
Mrs B BALOGUN's CHAMBER
"Bayo angrily walks into his mothers chamber"
BAYO
What exactly is happening mother? Why is Taiwo here?
MRS B BALOGUN
Good Evening, Bayo.
BAYO
What is so good about this evening mom?
MRS B BALOGUN
You, son!
(She attempts to light her sixteenth stick of cigarette)
BAYO
What's this mother? That's enough
( He removes the cigarette from her lips)
MRS B BALOGUN
What is your problem Bayo? We both know you didn't barge in here to school me on this! So what do you want?
BAYO
(He notice she looked more helpless than him)
It's nothing mother, why are you like this, what happened ?
Mrs B BALOGUN
Can I have my cigarette back?
(She intentionally ignores Bayo's question)
BAYO
No Mom, you shouldn't be smoking you promised to let go of this!
(He drops the cigarette into glass of wine on Mrs B Balogun's table)
Mrs B BALOGUN
I said I will give it a try I never said I will certainly stop and besides you are yet to banish the sticks from your lifestyle too!
(She holds tight to her favorite pillow)
BAYO
This isn't about me mother!
we are talking about you this isn't you something seems to be amiss. Talk to me mother, what is the problem?
Mrs B BALOGUN
Your father slapped me today because I wouldn't let Taiwo disrespect me.
(She finally admits as tears rolled down her cheeks)
BAYO
Dad slapped you? This is so unbelievable. Taiwo has always been a major character in the history of you and fathers arguments for as long as I can remember but never has it gotten this intense.
(He appears confused)
"Never had he pictured his father hands on his mother. "
Mrs B BALOGUN
Your father has changed. Ayo isn't the man I married his consistent late nights that can't be accounted for, his sudden request for more privacy and his choice of words these days just keeps me in intense paranoia. I can assure you that a future with your father can't be guaranteed.
BAYO
Don't talk like that mother. You and father have come too far to let go of each other, I am very certain that father do not love you any less. Father fought to be with you till date, we both know his decision to be with you affected is relationship with his mother. I certainly can't speak for Dad but no man will risk a relationship with his mother to be with just any woman. I want you to put your mind and heart to rest I promise to get to the bottom of this. Everything will be okay please try and get some rest, se o ti jeun?
"Bayo asked if she has eaten in Yoruba. "
Mrs B BALOGUN
Rara oo don't worry I'm not hungry, Bayo. I just want to sleep.
(She lies on her bed)
BAYO
No Mother you must eat something I will ask Maria to bring you dinner later. For now, get some rest.
(He kisses her on her forehead)
_____________________________________
DINNER TIME AT MR A BALOGUN's MANSION
TAIWO
Where is Mom, is she not coming down for dinner? (He washes his hands for dinner)
"It was his favorite (Pounded Yam and Agusi soup) the sight of goat meat just made him realize that Maria might know him more than he knows himself."
BAYO
That is non of your business eat your food and go to bed!
TEMI
Bayo he just asked a simple question why can't you let him be?
(She deeps a ball of pounded yam into her plate of soup)
BAYO
No one is saying he shouldn't ask questions, he should just ask the ones that are his business!
MR A BALOGUN
Children, that is enough eat your meal and stop fighting.
(He scolded)
TAIWO
Maria have you had dinner?
TAIWO
Not yet sir, I still have some work to do
(She wears a smile)
TEMI
You can do them later come seat next to me lets have dinner together
MARIA
Oh no ma I'm fine.
MR A BALOGUN
We insist you join us, Maria.
I carried you in my arms the day you were born I watched you craw and learn how to talk you are like a daughter to me so don't make me beg you to eat with us.
MARIA
Alright, then I shall dine with the house.
(She pulls out a chair beside Temi)
BAYO
By the way have any of you seen Eniola today?
TEMI
I saw her this morning but no trace of her since I came back
BAYO
What about you Taiwo?
TAIWO
It's non of my business brother those were your words.
BAYO
Don't tell me you hold a grudge over some words I said to you? You are really childish brother.
MARIA
She stepped out earlier this afternoon she said she will be home by midnight.
"Maria Never could stand the two Balogun brothers fighting, She had the craziest crush on Taiwo, she thought he was cute and well mannered though she loved him the most for his kindness and intelligence. On the other hand, she admired Bayo for his strong will, confidence and hard work."
TAIWO
Midnight? Isn't that too late for a lady?
BAYO
You know Eniola very well, it's best to stay out of her business she never likes to be told what to do!
TEMI
Still doesn't mean we should stay quiet about something that isn't proper.
MR A BALOGUN
That is alright children, finish your meals and go upstairs!
Excuse me I have to see what was so precious to your mother that prevented her from dining with us.
(He gets up to leave)
BAYO
Don't bother father, she wants to be left alone, especially after what happened this afternoon I think it's fair that you let her be!
(He emphasis on "what happened this afternoon")
MR A BALOGUN
This is my house, Bayo Balogun If you want to be giving out orders, I suggest you get your place, as for Eniola whenever she comes into this house tell her I request her presence immediately
(He walks out of the room)
_____________________________________
TAIWO
I hope she has a good explanation for this because father won't let this slide.
(He dials Eniola's number)
BAYO
I don't get why you guys are worried about her she's an adult and it's "Eniola"
late nights is a lifestyle for her
TEMI
Yes, we know that sir and we always had to cover for her but someone had to open his wild mouth and ask after her in the middle of a family dinner.
BAYO
Can you even hear yourself loud and clear? A family Dinner that she hardly misses it's unlike her to go about her late-night business before dinner, but oh no Bayo is the devil for noticing his precious sister absence.
TAIWO
"Eniola picks up the call"
"Hello Eniola Where are you?
ENIOLA
Hello Taiwo am at the club they won't let me I in some trouble I need your help.
TAIWO
Let me guess they found something on you that shouldn't be on you?
ENIOLA
Yes bro and before you yell and scold me, I'm sending you the address now
(She hangs up)
TAIWO
Hello, Eniola?
She has hanged up.
(He drops his three cameras on the table)
BAYO
What happened, where is she?
TAIWO
She said she's at a club and that she's in some trouble with the security over there.
TEMI
What exactly is she into this time, did you even get the address?
TAIWO
She said she will send the address before she hung up. Bayo let's go and get her.
(he gazes at his screen in expectation of Eniola's location)
BAYO
Count me out I'm tired unlike you, I had to work all day so forgive me if my sleep is a priority right now.
(He gets up to leave)
TAIWO
I blame myself for asking you I forgot you only care about yourself what about you, Temilade Balogun, are you coming?
TEMI
Sure why not it's Eniola we are talking about bro
MARIA
Can I come with you guys?
TAIWO
I don't know about that Maria, if Nanny finds out I let you leave the house at this hour, she will literally kill me and you know she can be scary at times.
Mrs AISHA
(She walks into the room)
She can go with you guys Eniola can be a handful at times just hurry and you all be safe.
TAIWO
Oh Nanny when did you come in?
(He hugs her in excitement)
Mrs AISHA
Earlier this evening I was with your mother I have to go to her now she's not feeling too good she needs my company you guys should hurry and get your sister before your father figures all this out.
(She drives out of the dining table)
TEMI
Will Mom be okay?
(she was too scared to check up on her mother)
"Mrs B Balogun was a hard one to deal with. Temi disliked the fact that her mother was too controlling and never let any moment slip her hands when an opportunity to criticize comes up."
Mrs AISHA
Your mother will be okay you guys should hurry and your sister!
TAIWO
Alright Nanny we are leaving now.
(He works towards the stairs)
"Mrs Aisha gazed at him in a weird way"
What is it? I have to get my car keys she's on the other side of Festac.
(He walks up the stairs)

What on earth would bring Eniola to this area?
(He slowly gets closer to the address Eniola sent to him)
MARIA
Are you sure this is where the address she sent leads? It's unlike Eniola to come to this part of Festac
(She rolls down the glass to inquire of the exact location that Eniola mentioned)
