[IN ENGLISH] So, who's your younger son and who is your older son?
Doesn't it say on the passport?
You're going to have to explain.
Explain what exactly?
It's in the passport.
[IN PIDGIN] What kind of explanation do you need from our biological father?
Ah-ah, don't you know twins?
Dad, this guy is just trying to be difficult.
Don't you know Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito?
- Guy, please be quick. - Akpos calm down.
If you know you don't want to attend to us, let us go to another person.
- Akpos you've started. - [IN ENGLISH] Listen, listen.

[IN ENGISH] Listen!
Do you guys want to get on the next flight to Nigeria?
No [LAUGHS]
- [AKPOS IN PIDGIN] It hasn't come to that. - [IN ENGLISH] It hasn't come to that.
[SPLUTTERING] I... I'm...
Look, in America you'll probably call it genetic disorder.
Okay. But for me as a parent,
Children are a gift from God. Big or small.
He always has purpose for creating us the way he did.
True, so wait...
So, this little boy is your older son?
- Yes. - And this man is your younger son?
- [IN PIDGIN] Absolutely. - That's how it is.
Open your eyes properly so he can see you.
- [IN PIDGIN] He just called you a child. - [OFFICER] Step in front of the camera.
- [IN ENGLISH] Huh? - Step in front of the camera.
[IN PIDGIN] It seems we are cleared.

by living under the same roof for one whole week.
While treating us to an awesome fiesta of cultural magnificence.
Let's meet your host for the inter-continental christmas fiesta 2021.

[CROWD APPLAUSE CONTINUES]
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
First of all, I'll like to welcome you all to the inter-continental Christmas fiesta.
[CROWD APPLAUSE]
It is really incredible
that you all have come from so many different parts of the world.
To this amazing celebration of human diversity.
[CROWD APPLAUSE]
Christmas is definitely a time to celebrate what we've accomplished.
We've been through so much as a people.
We have all made it through an exceedingly difficult period.
And I guess we all can appreciate the long way we have come.
My goal is to meet as many people as possible.
People who are in love with the idea of love.
Who are positive.
People that have more time to love one another than to hate.
- [IN PIDGIN] Take a look at that ghost.. - Look at this people waiting
- [IN PIDGIN] Are these not people's bags? - [INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
- [IN PIDGIN] Where is the bag going? - Akpos!
[IN PIDGIN] Akpos, go for your bag.
[IN PIDGIN] What is wrong with you?
[OFFICER IN ENGLISH] Hey, hey.

- [IN ENGLISH] Come here. - [IN PIDGIN] Look, it's my bag.
[OFFICER IN ENGLISH] Sir, come, get down.
[DAD IN PIDGIN] Anything that's meant to happen so be it.

- [IN PIDGIN] You can't do this. - [DAD] Wait.
- [IN PIDGIN] Dad, they can't do this. - [OFFICER] Come on. come on.
[IN PIDGIN] This is not how you'll welcome me to America. I won't agree.
- I won't agree, I won't agree. - [RAPHAEL] Akpos! Akpos!
-I won't agree. Look, -[RAPHAEL] Akpos, Akpos...
[IN PIDGIN] You guys shouldn't do this.
[IN ENGLISH] I'm surprised that anyone will jump onto the carousel.
Is this your first foreign travel?
[IN PIDGIN] Why do you people like to underestimate people.
Please tell me, why? Ehn?
This is not the first time I'm travelling.
Look at me, I've travelled very wide and far.
I've been to Cotonou.
I've been to Puerto Rico.
I've been to Accra.
Check the atlas and you'll be surprised I've been to Atlanta as well.
[IN ENGLISH] I mean foreign trips like London, Paris, Rome.
[IN PIDGIN] Was my passport not stamped?
They're also foreign trips.
[IN ENGLISH] Actually sir, Paris and Rome are not countries.
[IN PIDGIN] Mm-hmm, look at him...
Acting like he knows it all yet he knows nothing.
[DAD] Look at how he's beign corrected.
Look at how they are scattering the food we are meant to eat.
- [DAD] What sort of rubbish is this? - [IN ENGLISH] Come with me darling.
[IN ENGLISH] To where?
- We're going to the kid's room. - Oh God!
-I'm not a kid -[DAD IN PIDGIN] What do they want?
[IN ENGLISH] Oh my God but you're so cute.
We have chocolate, candy, doughnuts, everything a kid would want.
- Come with me. - What?
Sir, don't worry he's in safe hands.
[AKPOS CHUCKLES]
- [OFFICER] Come on. - [DAD IN PIDGIN] Well, go with her.
[IN ENGLISH] Do you like marshmallows or chocolate cakes?
Officer, is all of this really neccessary?
I'm sorry that my son jumped on the carousel
but can you just give us a warning,
so we can go?
- [OFFICER] They can keep this. - Oh thank you men...
Thank you.
You can't keep this.
- No, no! - You can't keep this
- [AKPOS IN PIDGIN] Dad, stop doing this. - [DAD] It's the food we're meant to eat.
[SPLUTTERING IN PIDGIN] Please.
- [IN ENGLISH] You can't keep that. - [IN PIDGIN] What can you do about it.
Let it go, dad.
No, no! Not this one...
- [IN ENGLISH] Hard drugs? - No, they are not drugs.
- How do I explain this to him? - Tell him.
Tell him that they mix it with local gin.
[IN ENGLISH] You see this, if you add um.
- like um... - Local gin.
Tequila. You put tequila in here,
and one shot in the morning.
- Look at me. - [AKPOS IN PIDGIN] You'll be erect.
[IN PIDGIN] Your body will be at attention and firm.
[OFFICER IN ENGLISH] Oh...[GIGGLES] Okay.
They can keep this.
- [LAUGHS] - [AKPOS] Thank you.
Look, where I come from uh...
We say something like this in lagos.
[IN YORUBA] You're the man.
[IN ENGLISH] Wha... wha... what does that mean?
[IN PIDGIN] It means that you're the shit.
- [CHUCKLES] I'm the shit. - No, like Americans say
"You the shit, man"
- Oh, I'm the shit. [LAUGHING] - [IN YORUBA] You're shit, man. [LAUGHING]
- [IN YORUBA] You're shit, man. - [AKPOS] Shit, shit...
[IN ENGLISH] I'm the shit.
- You're the shit. - [OTHERS LAUGHING]
- You can't keep this shit. - [COMIC MUSIC PLAYS]
[IN PIDGIN] I thought...
[IN PIDGIN] Dad, I don't understand what is happening here.
What's happening here?
Why are they putting our things in the bin?
Akpos, please if you don't want us to go to prison,
Stop talking, please.
[IN PIDGIN] Which prison?
We brought the food that we will eat,
These people are putting our food in the bin.
What wrong did we do? This is oppression.
[IN ENGLISH] Guy, black lives matter. [IN PIDGIN] Think about it
[IN ENGLISH] Black lives matter. I agree black lives matter.
- Black lives matter. - That's right. [CHUCKLES]
This doesn't matter. [CLEARS THROAT]
[IN PIDGIN] Just make sure you trash everything.
[IN ENGLISH] This one is important.
- Ponmo. - [OFFICER LAUGHS]
-So, they work together -[DAD] It's a combination.
[BOTH LAUGH]
- [IN YORUBA] You're shit, man. - [OFFICER LAUGHS]
[IN ENGLISH] But you can't have this shit.
[IN PIDGIN] This guy is crazy.
[IN ENGLISH] For the next one week,
the world would see how,
how different cultures can be the same.
Sure we might come from different ethnicities and
different parts of the world, different countries.
And the one thing that keeps us from being divided and separated
is love for one another.
We are all same difference.
And that, my friends, is the true spirit of christmas.
- Celebrate! - [CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUSE]
Merry christmas to you all. God bless you.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CONTINUES]
Thank you Larry.
Now...
I got word that the Nigerians are having some issues at the airport.
But we're getting all that straightened out and they should be here soon.
Raphael Dafe if you can hear me,
please find the nearest officer and report to the control room.
Gentlemen, I am so sorry.
I don't know what happened.
- [AKPOS] Hmm. - You assured me
when you were taking him away, you said, "Oh don't worry, he'll be okay"
This has never happened before.
It has never happened, so it's happening with my son first.
[IN PIDGIN] Nothing should happen to my brother.
I'll cause problems here, dad.
[YELLING] Akpos, stall your hyperactivity. Am I the one who's lost or Raphael?
Sorry. I'm sorry... I beg God in God's name...
nothing should happen to my brother
If anything happens to my brother I'll cause problems here.
I'm crazy, I'll break bottles on all your heads.
[IN ENGLISH] We got this.
[IN PIDGIN] They'll go to Nigeria to write a statement at the police station.
[IN ENGLISH] I can assure you, we'll find him.

[IN PIDGIN] Where is Raphael?
[IN ENGLISH] I understand you're frustrated.
- But you have to trust me. - [IN PIDGIN] Your father is frustrated.
[IN PIDGIN] Your father is frustrated.
[BOY] You know what I found out about punctuality, dad?
What son?
Punctuality is waiting around for other people.
Like the Nigerians.
[IN MANDARIN] Black people will be late even to their own funeral.
[IN ENGLISH] Beautiful country, lovely country.
You see Nigeria is very big. It's a big nation.
In Nigeria we have more than 250 ethnic groups.
Which can be split into 30 or 40 nations, even more.
How does a child know so much?
No, I'm not a child. [CHUCKLING]
Okay?
Is English your main language?
Uh, English, English... it used to be.
But now we have Pidgin.

- "You dey craze?" - and report to the control room.
"You dey craze?"
Raphael Dafe if you can hear me please find the nearest officer,
- so he can bring you to the control room. - Whoa, whoa, whoa...
Are you sure he is still in the airport?
He's been gone for almost how long?
Oh, he's in the airport alright.
I trust that one.
-If it's this one, -[COMIC MUSIC PLAYS]
he would have been long gone from the airport.
[IN PIDGIN] Pop, how is this matter any of my concern?
I don't want to hear a word from you.
[IN PIDGIN] Keep quiet.
[IN PIDGIN] At the end of the day, I'm the one here with you.

His head looking like corned beef.

Let the show begin.
The other families are a little...
[WHISPERING] I don't even get this.
[STUTTERS] Do you think... Do you think the Indians are a little bitter?
Because all they brought were sweets and spices.
Roy, don't you think
[IN HINDI] They should have brought their weather.
[IN ENGLISH] Not bloody tea cups.
[IN HINDI] Certainly, that's one thing no one will forget about the British.
[IN ENGLISH] Their weather changes its mind more often than... Trump.
Who wants to watch Nigerian movies?
Ma... Nollywood is the second largest producer
of movie in the world after Bollywood.
[IN PIDGIN] If you like your Brazilian

[DAISY] Awww.
[IN PORTUGUESE] All your dreams will start coming true in seven days.
Really?
[IN HINDI] With the money,
[IN ENGLISH] We can expand our business beyond Amritsar
And make a move into the movie production sector.
We'll start making films about
how the British oppressed our people before Independence
We are not here to make friends.
At this point, I'm here to win.

[CHEERING, CLAPPING]
Okay.
[CLAPPING CONTINUES]
- Okay. - [CHEERING]
- Hey! - Hey!
[IN PIDGIN] You China, Africa does not need your loan.
All the things you've collected from Africans isn't enough, right?
As the contestants are getting along,
let's find out what they intend to do with their price money of one million Dollars.
I need everyone to pull it in.
One, two, three...
[ALL] ICF!
- I see you baby. - [CHEERING]
Ladies and gentlemen, viewers at home,
meet our contestants.
From East Asia,
the Chinese.
From North America, we have representatives from the USA.
From South America,
the Brazilians.
From Europe, the British.
From Africa, the Nigerians.
From South Asia, the Indians.
So, what's common in Slumdog Millionaire?
I'm sure nobody miss the slums and the happy kids running around.
We want to bring out many kids from the slums, as much as we can.
And of course prepare them for a brighter future.
Single parents need help.
A lot of them are widows and widowers
with little to no compensation from the deaths of their loved ones.
Some of whom died serving this country.
That's who we're winning the fiesta for.
A 100% of the winning goes straight to the Dasiy Williams Foundation.
Winning this will mean a lot for your foundation, mom.
Come on darling.
When you think of Brazil,
you think the amazon force and then the endangered species.
It is the largest rain forest in the world and home to millions of living organisms.
But it's not just about the animals.
That population includes,
30 million people in hundreds of indigenous groups.
We want to help save them by protecting the amazon.
We'll give 80% of our win to protect the amazon.
In China, rapid economic development and urbanization
brings more opportunity but also brings more inequality.
And more and more adults move to urban center like Shanghai, Jiangsu, Beijing.
More children are left behind in the over-crowded countryside school.
Where lack of access to infrastructure and relatives who cannot care for their child.
Hundreds of family need help.
We'll give 70% of our win.
Mom, 80%.
[MUTTERS IN MANDARIN]
[SIGHS]
We want to restore the last culture of evening tea.
Because healthy tea time makes for happy family time.
And healthy family time, makes for healthy discuss.
And healthy discuss births grand strategies.
In which great empires are built.
Like the great British Empire once conquered half the world and brought you
The Royal family, Royal great tea, Beetles, London fog.
Like I said we will like to restore the last culture of evening tea.
Like the great British Empire, I want to become a millionaire.
Yeah, our charity is geared towards
Street Children to School
in the Niger Delta.
Or as an extension, slum children to school.
Also in the Niger Delta.
The idea is to make sure that we gather all of the children in the Niger Delta
and give them access to Education.
For these children don't have talents, they don't have...
- [IN PIDGIN] They have talents. - They have talents. What are you saying?
- [IN ENGLISH] Sorry. These children... - [DAFE] I will slap your head.
These children don't have a platform
- to showcase their talent. - [DAFE] Good.
Slum to School Project will help them find
nourish and unleash their talents...
- [DAFE] That's right. - [AKPOS] Yeah.
After educating them.
And this well make their lives better.
[IN PIDGIN] So, what my dad and my elder brother just said...
is the truth. They are correct.
We will not act like Nigerian Politicians.
Who will look out for themselves first before anyone else.
And we know they don't care even if we come together and protest.
They will not be bothered.
We are not like that.
We want to help the poor.
- Children. - The Children.

from your countries.

Good morning team India, how are you doing today?
Namaste judges, we are doing good. How are you?

Biryani Is an Indian rich dish.
As the Chinese, we are preparing Chinese dumpling.
Also known as Jiaozi.
Well of course we are going to be preparing the quintessential British Dish,
Shepherd's pie.
Thank you. Today we have Jollof Rice.
I think Jollof rice has to be the most controversial dish in the world right now
because there is so much fight about what is the best Jollof rice.
Nigerian Jollof rice is the best though.
- There is no... - [IN PIDGIN] We're the best.
no argument about that
[AKPOS IN PIDGIN] To hell with Ghanaian Jollof.
- [RAPHAEL IN PIDGIN] We're the best. - [DAFE LAUGHING]

[IN PIDGIN] Those people have to be formidable to become my rivals.
They're not capable.
They're not capable on a normal day.

to make them sick.
[IN PIDGIN] What did I add to the food?
That's the evidence.
What evidence?
That evidence.
[IN PIDGIN] I told you guys... it was pepper I added.
Pepper is a normal ingredient
that we add when cooking.
Suya sellers make use of pepper in selling their meat.
I did not... What if I had added red bell pepper.
[IN ENGLISH] So you're still willing to deny a foul play.
Even after using a slow poison to take out Harry and his son.
No.
- [OFFICER] What is this? - [IN PIDGIN] It is inside the kitchen
they had the food. I didn't take it outside.
We were all in the kitchen.
[IN ENGLISH] Wait, do you have something against the British, huh?
Is that what this is?
[IN PIDGIN] What do I want to have against the British?
They were the ones who colonized us.
For a few years now, we have been colonizing them.
Why don't you just admit it?
So we can slice down your charges
- to something that you can handle. - [AKPOS IN PIDGIN] Ehen!

charge me with what I can afford and I will give you.

Tonight, representatives from different countries
will be narrating their Christmas experiences.
[APPLAUSE]
I love everything about Christmas.
But my best part...
Driving through the country to visit my mother,
grand-mother and grand-aunties.
Christmas is a time of love and joy.
A time for sitting around the Christmas tree, eating delicious turkey.
In Brazil, like in many south-american countries.
We celebrate Christmas on the 24th.
Christmas eve.
In China, Christmas is less about family,
and more about friends.
We don't go to Church, we go ice skating, you know...
We do karaoke.
India, such a diverse country with diverse religions and populations.
We have that one day we wait for all year which is Christmas,
where all of us will celebrate together.
Christmas day is the time that we identify our wicked uncles.
Because when you visit them, they only give you food.
They will not give you money to buy other things to enjoy your Christmas.
By doing that, we would show them the red signal.
- [RAPHAEL] We'll then... - [IN PIDGIN] Yes, we then give them
-our soundtrack to remind them -Yes
- to give us money. - Money.
Yeah so, we will now say,
[BOTH IN UNISON] Eh... uncle...
We are leaving.
Uncle, should we get going?
So they get the signal and do the needful.
- [RAPHAEL] Then do the needful. - [AKPOS] Yes.
[IN ENGLISH] My favorite part is the gifts.
One year, my mom caught me sneaking down and stealing some early
and I haven't gotten any since.
[AUDIENCE] Aw...
I'm sorry mom.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUSE]
[AKPOS IN PIDGIN] This is how their kids become wayward.
[IN PIDGIN] Where we're from, our parents start planning for Christmas in October.
They do all the necessary things, then get us our Christmas clothes...
And get us our shoes as well.
There's a way our parents buy us shoes back then.
They make sure to get us oversized shoes,
then pad it with paper.
Just so the shoe becomes your size for Christmas.
And also save it for the next Christmas or
for your younger brother that is growing to use that same shoe
for the next Christmas. That's how we exchange it.
[IN ENGLISH] Let's continue the celebration.

Good job.

♪ What is tomorrow? ♪
There is no better life than this.
The sky is blue for me now.
So what about you? What's your story?
Well... [SCOFFS]
- Do you want to hear the truth? - Yes.
I want to hear the truth.
[CHUCKLES] Okay.
Um...
Ifeoma and I were friends with benefits.
Friends with benefits?
And um...
Until she turned up pregnant.
She turned up pregnant or you knocked her up.
- [LAUGHING] - I guess I... I guess I did.[LAUGHING]
When she became pregnant, her parents insisted we get married.
How long were you married?
We were married for 20 years.
That's really lovely.
We were mostly cats and dogs. [CHUCKLES]
And how are your kids so different?
Um... [SIGHS]
When Raphael was about nine,
they mocked him a lot in school. They'll tease him, bully him.
So I had to ship him out to his mom's sister in Enugu.
- Another town in eastern Nigeria. - Mm-hmm.
And uh...
He thrived there, he really did well there.
But looking back now I wish I had
-shipped Akpos out as well because -[CHUCKLES]
uh, the mother spoilt him rotten.
And he'll get into all kinds of fights.
Then she...
She fell ill. She had cancer.
Then she died.
I'm sorry...
[IN PIDGIN] Dad. [LAUGHS]
I hear that it's at this age you want to act Romeo and Juliet.
- Did your Juliet get missing? - [AKPOS LAUGHS]
[IN ENGLISH] Akpos do you want to play?
[IN PIDGIN] Are you asking if I want to play?
[IN ENGLISH] 100 bucks, let's go.
[IN PIDGIN] Would you bet?
- Yes! - [IN PIDGIN] Dad please.
Dad let me win this money.
Ah-ah 100 bucks? Let me put my 20.
Dad, I'm begging you in the name of God...
- [IN URHOBO] Dad, I am on my knees. - [IN PIDGIN] On my way!
[IN PIDGIN] Please, please.
- [DAFE] Isn't it Ludo? - [IN ENGLISH] Let's go.
[AKPOS CHUCKLES]
[IN PIDGIN] You want to play? We're betting.
[AKPOS LAUGHS] White woman!
Where do you get all this dollars?
[DAFE] Okay Akpos, let me take my leave.
Please dad, just go.
- Enjoy yourself. - [AKPOS] Absolutely.
[DICE RATTLES] Don't make me...
loose money because of love.
- [CHUCKLES] Ol' boy! - Ah!
Oh you got six, three?
White lady, don't worry you'll see soon. [LAUGHING]
[AKPOS CHUCKLES] You, Ludo...
- I will deal with you mercilessly. - [DICE RATTLING]
- You know what I just said? - [IN ENGLISH] No.
[IN PIDGIN] I said you always look good.
- [AKPOS LAUGHS] - [IN ENGLISH] Whatever.
[AKPOS] Yeah... whatever.
Oh, look at that.
[AKPOS LAUGHS]
- Hey! - Boom.
[IN PIDGIN] The white lady has got a double six.
- Dad. - [DICE RATTLING]
- Raphael. - Yes?
There's a problem.
How?
What happened?
That woman won my money at the ludo game.
Really? How? She's a novice.
She's not a novice.
I don't even understand myself. It seems someone is teaching her.
Hmmm...
[BOTH] Dad!
[DAFE IN ENGLISH] How did it go?
- Oh hey... - Yes!
You want to count it?
No, you earned it.
I did so good. Thank you for teaching me.
And remember what I told you. Yeah?
Ludo is like life.
You do not show your enemy all of your sugar.
- Otherwise... - The enemy will finish you.
- Ah, that's right. [LAUGHING] - [LAUGHING]
- [DAFE] I know. - [AKPOS IN PIDGIN] Dad.
[IN ENGLISH] Family meeting.
[IN PIDGIN] Three aside, dad.
May God not spoil your plans.
It is very important.
May God not spoil your plans.
Excuse our family.
Dad come.
Dad, let's go.
[DAFE] What sort of rubbish is this?
Can't I have a break?
Dad, you betrayed your blood.
The last person that did something of this nature was Judas.
At least the world knows what Judas did.
What did I do? Tell me.
Dad, you're acting like you don't know what you did?
I don't know.
- [RAPHAEL] Okay. - [DAFE] Okay wait.
In this three aside, who's the referee?
Okay dad, we have information
that you're sabotaging us by teaching that white lady how to play Ludo.
[RAPHAEL] Guilty or not guilty?
I'm very much guilty.
- Can you hear him? - [RAPHAEL] I heard him.
- I'm guilty. - Dad, you're guilty and claiming it.
Didn't you see me playing with the white lady before you came?
You then used 20 dollars to match 100 dollars while betting.
Oh, you thought you wanted to play a fool.
So what happened, she won all your money, right?
It wasn't just 20 dollars the lady won from me dad.
How much did she win from you, then?
I converted it to naira and it summed up to seventy two thousand.
How did she learn Ludo?
You had more than 20 dollars?
She won 72 thousand.
Meaning she won a hundred plus dollars from you.
Akpos.
Means you're the betrayer here.
- [RAPHAEL] So that means... - [DAFE] You used 72 thousand
naira to gamble in Miami.
How did you get the money and we didn't know?
Did you know Akpos had 72 thousand naira?
Never. So at the end it means
I'm in between two betrayers.
- [AKPOS] What is this one saying? - Are you crazy? Who is a betrayer?
Look,
In Niger-delta, we are surrounded by water.
[DAISY IN ENGLISH] Dafe, do you dance?
Well I can step a little.
What? A little? Hey!
[IN PIDGIN] Don't listen to my dad, he's a king stepper.
Hmm... He can dance so well.
- [IN ENGLISH] Is that true? - Don't listen to him.
But hey, if my life depends on it...
[IN PIDGIN] Dad dances very well.

[IN ENGLISH] Okay, let me just deal with this.
Jack, what are you doing here?
If Moses won't go to the mountain...
[JACK CHUCKLES]
Anyways, Mike says you can't make it to my wedding.
Well... Mike and I broke up.
He's with the governor's daughter now.
Sarah and I are just friends.
Her father and mine served in the military.
- That... that's it. - [JACK] Mike stop it.
Please Pam...
I'd like to see you there.
It's my special day,
but it'll be more special if you were there.
[PAMELA CHUCKLES] You with the sweet tongue. Huh?
You know, we do have a day off on Saturday.
- I guess I could see what I can do. - Great.
On the condition that I bring my plus one.
Who?
[IN PIDGIN] My name is Akpos Oboroghenerukohwo Umukoro Dafe.
And I am not intimidated.
[AKPOS EXCLAIMS] Chi!
[IN ENGLISH] Which African jungle did you dig this guy from?
Okay, he's my plus one.
Joke man, joke man. How are you doing?
One, zero.
It would be my honor.
If you and your plus... I mean, one came to my wedding.
Okay. [LAUGHS]
[IN PIDGIN] You see the way this guy wants to underrate me in public?
- [AKPOS] Look, he finished talking. - [PAMELA IN ENGLISH] No!
[IN PIDGIN] And he's walking away. I asked to let me handle this guy, you wouldn't
- But he just... - [AKPOS] I don't...
[IN ENGLISH] Why did you have to say that?
- [DOOR CLOSES] - Akpos.
Akpos wait...
[CAR IGNITION STARTS]
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Surprise!
Hi...
- [IN PIDGIN] What are you doing here? - [IN ENGLISH] What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
You, what are you doing here?
[SIGHS]
Well... I'm looking for your son.
You were not the one I was expecting.
Who were you expecting?
Let's go. Let's go and find Akpos.
Not expecting to see you.
Are you on a date with Akpos?
No, I just came to ask him a question.
[DAISY] Aha!
Excuse me.
Akpos,
two aside.
[GROWLS] I'll be back. [MUTTERS]
Is there something going on between you two?
No, I was just going to talk to him.
Cause it sure looks like a date.
I know but I don't know what this is about.
I promise mom.
Cause that's not what it looks like.
[PAMELA] I know.
[DOOR OPENS]
Are you sure there is nothing going on between you and Akpos?
Yes mom, I'm sure.
Why are you asking me, anyway?
Do you like him?
[SIGHS] I don't know.
I like the way he looks at me.
Oh.
You like him mom. You really do.
I will say I'm happy.
I can see that.
And if he makes you happy, then he's good for you.
Thank you. I am.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Yes.
It's so beautiful out here.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
It is.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Raphael!
- Raphael! - [IN PIDGIN] Dad.
Come here.
- [RAPHAEL CLEARS THROAT] - [DAFE] You'll be the referee.
Are you listening?
-You're the referee -[RAPHAEL] I heard you.
Akpos!
Please...
For this matter,
[IN ENGLISH] You'll step down for me.
Dad.
I can't do that.
Why are you acting this way?
Huh?
What do I have to beg you with? Huh?
You can't step down for me? I'm your father.
Can't you stepdown for me?
Dad I beg you in the name of the heavens
run your race and let me run mine.
You know that in this journey, I have reached my destination.
But for you, the journey is still far.
Eh?
- [DAFE] Please help me. - [RAPHAEL SCOFFS]
Eh, listen Akpos, let me come in. You have to...
- Hey! - [RAPHAEL] You have to step down.
[AKPOS] Hey, hey!
Just mind your business.
Raphael,
This is not Nigerian politics where old men want
to die for positions they don't have the strength for.
Even if I can't rule in that country,
I'm not too young to love.
- Ah-ah, Akpos. - [DAFE] Akpos.
You're comparing what I'm going through with politics?
Since your mother died I haven't...
I haven't had sex.
Are you listening? Being sex starved is a real thing.
[RAPHAEL LAUGHS]
What are you laughing for? My friend keep...
This one is just laughing for no reason.
Dad, we are here for a reality TV show.
You see that Pamela over there, that's my own reality.
It's either you take it or leave it.
- [DAFE] Akpos! - Akpos you need to step down.
You need to step down.
Dad, you can see that I've tried.
Please, leave here.
But dad it's about time you run a DNA test for Akpos.
The kind of attitude he exhibits. I really don't understand it.
I don't think I'm the father of you both.
Conduct a test for the both of us, then.
I'm looking at you and the distance between here
and the ocean I want to throw you into.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
[SIGHS]
Yes. I like the guy.
He's a good guy.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
...do. I see.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Honestly, I think I could do it.
Jack.
- [JACK] Hey you. - Oh, congratulations.
- I'm so happy for you. - [JACK] Thank you.
I am glad you came.
Mike.
Do you guys have a dress code in Africa?
Who is this?
- Who is this? - [PAMELA] He's just joking.
I get this.
African peacock in Miami.
[AUDIENCE CHUCKLING]
He means no harm.
[PAMELA CHUCKLES]
Let's just go get a seat.
Yeah?
Two-zero
I got you.
[AKPOS IN PIDGIN] How are you all doing?
- [IN ENGLISH] Hey. - Hey, man.

[MEN'S INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[PAMELA AND AKPOS SIGHS]
- Thank you. - [AKPOS SIGHS]
[IN ENGLISH] Are you from Africa?
I'm a Prince.
Quite a princely outfit you have there.
You are welcome.
Akpos, you never told me you are a Prince.
[IN PIDGIN] It's not everything you tell people because
there are witches everywhere.
[IN ENGLISH] Excuse me.
Excuse me.
What do you do?
I'm a business man.
What kind of business is that?
The name of my business is called mind your business.
[PIDGIN] An old woman who talks a lot and will not let me concentrate.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
[IN ENGLISH] Thank you everyone for coming to this union.
If anyone has an objection to these two getting married...
Speak now or forever hold your peace.
I wonder why they always ask this at weddings,
it's not like I have ever seen anyone object.
No one expects you to object. It's just a tradition.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
The gentleman at the back, you have something to say?
[PAMELA] Oh no!
Akpos, no.
- No, no. - [MUTTERS] What?!
[JACK] You know him?
- Have you been with him before? Huh? - No.
[IN PIDGIN] I just want you to know that
those of us at the back cannot hear you clearly.
We cannot hear anything.
[IN ENGLISH] Is that all?
[IN PIDGIN] That's all I have to say.
[LADY EXCLAIMS]
[IN PIDGIN] Are you crazy?
Let no one mess with me!
I will slay anyone that messes with me here. Am I your mates?
Hey! You all are not enough.
If you mess with me, I will show you the stuff I'm made of.
Your father! You all are crazy.
- Ha! You're crazy! - [MEN CLAMORING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[IN PIDGIN] What have you done this time?
Ehn? What have you done this time, Akpos?
Dad, you know we do not like to be embarrassed.
They embarrassed me first and I retaliated.
What did you do?
We did not come here to play.
I had to retaliate.
[IN ENGLISH] The last chance Pamela had with Michael
is now gone due to your crazy prank at the wedding.
We should have your crazy ass locked up for good.
Hey Daisy, he's still my son.
After what he has done, I'll talk to him any damn way I please.
[IN PIDGIN] Can you see yourself?
Are you happy now? You keep disgracing me everywhere.
You are spoiling the little arrangements I have been making.
I believe you're happy now.
Er, babe.
Babe, look...
[IN ENGLISH] You are so uncouth.
I invited you to the wedding
and you choose to make a mess of everything just to humiliate me?
And now you want me to thank you?
Well, thank you, Akpos.
[IN PIDGIN] Babe, calm down, just calm down.
All I did there was because of love.
Let me tell you the truth.
You are not a simple girl,
so I will not allow that boy control you.
That boy and his family have a spell on you.
[IN ENGLISH] That is none of your business.
Are you done yet?
Now listen to what I have to say.
Everything you do is destruction.
You got all the boys in trouble for wrecking this city.
You nearly had poor Harry and his son killed.
You caused a fight between the Chinese and the Brazilians.
And I know of your airport escapades.
You are the reason your family was late to the show.
I can go on and on and I have barely known you for even a week.
How do you even sleep at night?
- [IN PIDGIN] Babe, please stop this. - [IN ENGLISH] Stay away from me.
[IN PIDGIN] Babe!
Ak-pos.
[IN ENGLISH] What did you do?
[IN PIDGIN] Just leave me alone.
Akpos!

love beyond material gain of winning the contest.
To help a stranded woman and her little baby.
And boy, are we wowed with the results?
Talk about zero to hero.
Yes, Harry won the contest and has the point for his team.
But for this extraordinary act of kindness sacrifice and affection,
Akpos and the Nigerians are awarded double points.
So, the winners are the Nigerians.
