They Mocked The Beautiful CEO When She Married The Poor Laundry Man, Unaware He Is The Richest Man
Chinedu, are you serious? >> >> Please tell me that is not my sister’s underwear. What are you doing with that? Have you no shame? >> Leave him. This man is finished. Should I call the police? >> Then why are you sitting here washing a woman’s clothes? >> Because they are dirty.
So, you just do women’s work? >> It’s just laundry. >> Wonderful answer. [laughter] >> Cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, taking care of the child. What exactly does Arinma do for you? >> The professional house husband has spoken. [laughter] She works hard, so if she comes home tired and finds clean clothes, food, and a peaceful house, I am happy.
I knew it. You married Arinma because you wanted free food. If that makes you happy, believe it. Honestly, I don’t understand you. What don’t you understand? What happened? Ask your husband. My husband is washing clothes. Exactly. Did you come here to inspect my laundry? [cough] Look at his life.
Helen, you go out every day. You run your business. You struggle for money. Meanwhile, your husband stays at home cooking and washing clothes. I have been married to Chinedu for 5 years. We know. No. Listen to me. For 5 years, this man has never cheated on me. He has never abandoned me when things were difficult. He has never beaten me.
He has never insulted me in front of people just to prove he is a man. When my business was almost failing, he stayed beside me. When I come home tired, he listens to me. He cooks, he cleans, he takes care of Daniel. If Daniel is sick at night, Chinidu will stay awake with him. He helps me carry the things I cannot carry alone.
So if all of that makes him a weak man in your eyes, then I am very happy with my weak man. You always defend him. He is my husband. Who should defend him? That is not even why we came. Then why are you here? >> Dad’s birthday is tomorrow. I know my father’s birthday. The whole family will be there. We will come. You can come. What does that mean? Dad doesn’t want him there.
If my husband is not invited, then I am not invited. Arinma, don’t make this difficult. I am not making anything difficult. You came into my house to tell me that my husband cannot attend his father-in-law’s birthday. You know how dad feels about him. That is dad’s problem. Arinma, if I come tomorrow, Chinedu comes with me.
There is another reason dad doesn’t want him there. Victor Maduka is coming. Victor is single again. So, Dad invited him because he thinks maybe both of you can talk. Talk about what? Don’t pretend you don’t understand. Helen, I am married. I can see that. Then why are we having this conversation? Because Dad believes you made a mistake.
>> A mistake? [laughter] You were one of the brightest people in this family. You are beautiful. You went to school. You built your own business. Look at the kind of men who wanted you. And look at who you chose. Helen, be careful. I am telling you the truth. Victor has money. He has businesses. He has connections.
He can give you the kind of life you deserve. I already have the life I want. with a man who spends his day cooking and washing underwear. Yes. You are wasting yourself. He is my husband. That doesn’t change anything. It changes everything. I chose him. >> [music] [sighs] >> I don’t need the world [music] to understand why I choose this little life.
Morning coffee’s [music] laughter. You walk through the door at night. >> Where did you bring that thing from? Which thing? >> That treasure box you have been hiding like an old king. [laughter] >> I wasn’t hiding it >> really because I hardly see it. >> It’s always been here. >> [music] >> Are you looking for something? >> Yes.
>> For what? >> Your father’s birthday. >> You want to give daddy something from here? >> Maybe. >> Please don’t. >> Why? >> You know my father. >> What about him? If you give him this, he will probably spend the whole party complaining that you brought him cheap goldplated jewelry. [laughter] [gasps and sighs] >> That isn’t goldplated.
>> Here we go again. >> I’m serious. >> Of course you are. >> It’s solid gold. >> Solid gold? >> Yes. >> Chinedu. >> And it wasn’t made in a normal jewelry shop. It was made by a private jeweler who hardly accepts new clients. >> Please stop. >> I’m telling you the truth. >> How much did this private jeweler charge you? >> I don’t remember.
>> You don’t remember? You bought solid gold from some famous private jeweler and you don’t remember how much you paid? >> I guess I forgot. >> You guess? Oh, Chinedu, >> it wasn’t important. >> Sometimes I wonder where you get these stories. >> They’re not stories. [music] [singing] >> Getting a business loan from these private banks is impossible.
>> I know the people who own the bank. >> [sighs] >> He works with me. [laughter] [laughter] >> This necklace is so pretty. Was it expensive? >> It’s worth millions. Home is my [laughter] place [music] you >> do you remember when you told me that bank chairman worked for you? >> He does. >> Chinedu >> what? >> And that businessman on television? >> He works with me too.
>> Do you even hear yourself? >> Yes. And the necklace you gave me >> very expensive. [laughter] [sighs] >> Arma, I don’t lie to you. >> Whether this thing is real gold or fake gold, I don’t care. >> It is real. >> Let me finish. If you give me something that costs 1,000 naira, I will keep it. If you give me something that costs 1 million, I will keep it, too.
What matters to me is that you gave it to me. >> What? >> Nothing. >> Why are you looking at me like that? >> You make things very difficult sometimes. >> How? >> Never mind. looked at [singing] your hands. >> You are strange. >> I know. [music] [singing] >> Leave daddy’s gift to me. I will buy something tomorrow morning. >> You don’t have to.
>> I know. >> I can handle it. >> You already handled 50 things today. >> I only washed clothes. >> You cooked, too. That was lunch. >> And you picked Daniel from school. >> He’s my son. >> Exactly. So I can buy one birthday gift. >> What are you doing? >> Helping you. >> How? >> What is that? >> Authorization >> for what? >> Tomorrow morning go to Crown Meridian Bank.
Crown meridian. >> Yes. [music] >> And what exactly will I do there? >> Ask for the managing director. Give him this note. Tell him you want to choose a birthday gift for your father. >> Chinedu, please. >> What? [laughter] [laughter] [gasps] >> I don’t want security officers asking me questions tomorrow morning.
>> They won’t. >> You want me to walk into Crown Meridian Bank and ask for the managing director? >> Yes. >> With this Yes. >> And then >> he’ll take you where you need to go. >> Sometimes I really don’t understand you. >> Just try it. >> No, >> Arinma. >> No, thank you. >> You don’t believe me. >> I believe you are my husband.
>> That’s not what I asked. Let me buy daddy something normal. A watch, clothes, maybe something for the house. >> The note will work. >> I know >> you don’t. >> I know it will work inside your imagination. Don’t worry. I will handle the gift. >> Fine. >> Good. >> [laughter] >> My stays the same. >> Yes, please hold on.
I’m still figuring out the birthday venue details. The watch is an option, but I’m thinking a new suit. Let me check my purse. All right, eggs are almost ready. Just flipping them now. Daniel, your bag is ready by the door. [music] >> But [singing] I really want to give you home. Daniel, breakfast. >> I’m coming, Daddy. I’m coming, daddy.
[music and singing] Where is your school bag? >> Outside. >> Homework inside. >> Yes, daddy. >> Water bottle? >> Yes. >> Good boy. [music and singing] >> [music] [singing] >> Uncle James. >> Yes. Daniel, >> we have to go to daddy’s bank first. >> Daddy’s bank. >> Yes. >> Which bank? >> Crown Meridian. [laughter] What are you going to do at Crown Meridian? >> Collect something
>> from who? >> The managing director. >> Who told you that? >> Daddy. >> Did daddy tell me about it? >> No. >> Did he tell mommy? >> He told mommy. >> All right, we will stop for a few minutes. But after that straight to school. >> Okay. I hide plenty. I feel safe. You know everything. >> Daniel, are you sure this is where daddy sent you? >> Yes.
And what exactly are you collecting? >> I don’t know. >> Good morning, young man. >> Good morning. >> How may I help you? >> My daddy said I should see the managing director. >> The managing director? >> Yes. Sorry. His father apparently sent him to collect something. I thought maybe there is a document waiting for him.
>> And what is your daddy’s name? >> Chinedun Wasu. >> Do you have an appointment? >> My daddy gave me a letter. >> A letter. Daniel, where did you get that? >> Daddy wrote it. >> Okay, maybe we should call your father first. >> No, daddy said I should give it to the managing director. Are you sure about this? >> Yes, ma’am. He told me to come.
>> Let’s just wait here. What’s the problem? >> A child says his father sent him to see the managing director. [music] Where did you get this? >> My daddy. >> Your father’s name is Chinedu Nasu. >> Yes. >> And you are his family driver. >> Please wait here. >> What happened? >> I don’t know. This is Gabriel from Crown Meridian.
I need immediate verification on a private chairman authorization. 849203615. Who presented it? >> A little boy. Daniel Nosu. Confirm it. Daniel Chenedu Nosu, Chairman Wu’s son. [sighs] The legendary chairman Chinedunu Wosu is real and this four-year-old is his son. 11 years of rumors about this reclusive, ultra-wealthy man are true.
[music] The authorization says he can select a gift. >> Then follow the authorization. Do I need further approval? No. The chairman’s signature is the approval. We really have to go soon. You are already getting late for school. Young Master Daniel. >> Yes. >> I am sorry we kept you waiting. >> It’s okay. >> Would you please come with me? Is there a problem? >> No problem at all, sir.
Please inform Mr. Richard immediately. >> The managing director. >> What exactly did your father write in that letter? >> I don’t know. >> Stay close. This requires my passcode in print. What is this place? >> The executive foyer. You’ll see. >> Welcome, Daniel. I’m so glad you’re here. Come on out, young man.
Daniel, >> are you the managing director? >> Yes. >> My daddy said I should see you. >> I know. >> Good. >> Please come with us. Jesus. [music] This section contains part of the Noasu family’s private holdings.
[music] Your father said you can choose something for your grandfather. >> Is that fine? >> Very fine. >> Those ones are shining. >> Yes. >> I like those ones. >> All right, we can choose one. [sighs] >> One. >> How many would you like? Put [music] plenty. [music] >> Daniel, >> what? >> You cannot put diamonds inside your school bag like biscuits.
[gasps] >> But daddy said I should collect Grandpa’s gift. >> It’s all right, sir. Young master, would you like us to pack them safely first? >> Yes. >> Good. >> [music] >> How much is all this worth? I would advise you not to ask. >> For grandpa. >> For grandpa. Your mother knows about this.
>> Daddy told her. >> Daniel, you are definitely late for school now. He will. >> Welcome my family and friends to this celebration >> to Papa long life and prosperity. >> To pap. >> Thank you all. This is our family’s pride. >> Try it, daddy. Andrew chose it himself. How much? >> This one must have cost you people serious money.
Don’t worry about the money, sir. You are worth it. Thank you, my son. Congratulations, Papita. Thank you, my family. >> P. The watch is beautiful. >> A fine watch for a fine man. >> [screaming] >> Do I look that old? >> Daddy, nobody said you are old. It is for when you don’t feel like walking too much. [laughter] >> I can still walk very well.
>> Then keep it until you need it. >> Thank you. >> Oh, Ruth, this is wonderful. >> And designer clothes, Daddy. Only the finest imported vintages for my father-in-law. Thank you, my children. My children have done well. We learned from you, Daddy. [music] What will your money buy you now? >> What will it buy you now? >> I thought I told you yesterday.
>> Helen, good afternoon. >> And you still brought him? >> I also answered you yesterday. >> Leave it. It is your father’s birthday. [sighs] >> Happy birthday, sir. I wish you many more healthy years. >> Thank you. >> What did you bring, Helen? What? We are all family. >> Let me see what we have here. >> A boot.
knows how to wait. >> You bought the room, you bought the crowd, you bought the breath in your throat. But when your name >> Heritage Reserve, yes, [singing] >> if this is original, it is not bad. If it is original, [laughter] what? There are fake bottles everywhere. So after everything, you brought only two bottles. Helen, please.
I’m only asking. [sighs] Maybe the man has been saving for them. Saving what? Arinma’s money. [applause] How much? How much is enough? Arma, don’t tell me you paid for your own father’s gift and gave it to Chenedu to present. I didn’t. So, where did he get the money? Grace, must you know everything that happens inside my marriage? I’m just asking.
Then stop asking >> enough. Today is my birthday. Look at what everybody brought. We all tried and Chinedu didn’t try. Two bottles. [laughter] Is it the price of the gift that matters? That is what people say when the gift is cheap. >> Don’t laugh. >> I didn’t say anything. >> Your face is saying enough. I still want to know where he found this.
>> Why? >> Because Heritage Reserve is not easy to get. >> He bought it. >> You will buy >> from where does it matter? It matters if we want to know whether it is genuine. >> We are not poor. Nobody said you are poor. You don’t need to say it. You people have been behaving as if I am suffering. Arinma, we know your business is trying.
My business is not trying. So where is all the money? Do you want my bank statement too? >> My company is expanding. Most of the money I have made in the last year has gone back into the business. But that doesn’t make us hungry. You always have one explanation. We just don’t want you pretending everything is fine because you are ashamed.
Ashamed of what? [sighs] >> So that is the problem again. Let me remind all of you something. Erin man, >> no. Let me talk. When Auntie Beatatrice was in the hospital last year and everyone was looking for money, who sent money? When your son needed his school fees before the deadline, who helped you? That was different. I paid you back.
That is not the point. When we were contributing for Uncle Matthew’s burial, who added the remaining money when everyone said they had reached their limit? You did. Chinedu and I did. [singing] We don’t announce everything we do. We don’t take pictures when we help people. We don’t remind you every month.
Nobody said you have never helped. >> But when you want to insult my husband, you suddenly forget everything. >> Arinma, this is a birthday celebration. Don’t turn it into a fight. >> I’m not fighting, Daddy. I am tired. >> Okay. Okay. Nobody should quarrel. Money comes and goes anyway. The important thing is connections.
>> These days, if you know the right people, you don’t even need to have too much money. That one is true. >> That is why I always tell Frank that business is not about what you know. It is about who knows you. Here we go. You have started with Apex Group again. Why shouldn’t I? [laughter] >> You rather make >> Daddy.
I told you I’m already building serious relationships inside Apex. You mentioned it. >> You know people there. >> Not ordinary people. I have spoken with senior people who are close to the chairman himself. Before [singing and music] they knew his word, >> you are surprised a little. >> I don’t like making noise about these things. I am serious.
If I have a business problem today, there are calls I can make. [laughter] >> Really? Of course. And they will answer. When you reach certain levels, Chinedu, you will understand how these things work. >> I see. My answer stays the same. >> When you know the right people, many doors open before you even knock. I understand.
>> Please don’t waste business advice on Chinedu. What will he use connections for? To get cheaper detergents? [laughter] >> [laughter] >> Forget all this. Victor will soon be here. >> Has he called? >> He said he was on his way. You will see what we mean when Victor arrives. What exactly am I supposed to see? The difference between what and what >> you people are still doing this.
>> Nobody is doing anything. We are only saying Victor has done very well for himself. Good for him. He has companies, properties, investments. He knows important people. Then he should enjoy them. [sighs] >> You don’t understand. >> I understand very well. You want me to look at another man while my husband is sitting beside me.
>> Nobody said you should do anything wrong. >> Daddy, you invited a man who wanted to marry me because you believe I should leave my husband for him. I want a better life for you. >> I have a good life with what? If you had married Victor, daddy would not be receiving two bottles of whiskey today.
Victor could probably fill this whole place with gifts. >> 10 times better. If Victor is so wonderful, why didn’t one of you marry him? >> [music] >> What kind of question is that? A simple one. Victor wanted you and I didn’t want him. For 5 years, I have heard the same thing. You all talk as if I woke up one morning and accidentally found myself married to Chinedu.
When Daniel had that terrible fever and I had an important meeting the next morning, who stayed awake with him until morning? Chinedu. When I come home late, I don’t enter a house where somebody is waiting to complain that food is not ready. I enter a house where my husband asks if I have eaten. He cooks when I am busy.
He listens when I am tired. If something is troubling me, I don’t have to beg him to notice. You people see a man washing clothes and think his life is useless. I see the man who gave me peace. Money is important. I am not foolish. But money cannot replace the kind of home I have. >> Since we are talking about gifts, >> what? Those aren’t the full gift.
>> There is more. Yes. What else did you bring? Nothing yet. >> Of course. [laughter] >> I arranged 50 cartons of Heritage Reserve. >> How many? He said 50. 50 cartons. >> Yes, Chinedu, please. There is no need. No need for what this. What am I doing? Trying to impress people. >> I’m not trying to impress anyone.
Do you even know how difficult it is to get heritage reserves? One carton is difficult. I know. And you are telling us you bought 50? I didn’t say I bought them from a shop. >> Your husband has started. [laughter] Chinedu, you don’t have to say things because people are talking. I know. Then stop. The drinks are already on the way.
>> Where are they coming from? Heaven. [laughter] >> No. >> Let me understand. You somehow got 50 cartons of one of the hardest premium drinks to buy. Yes. And they are coming here. Yes. When? Soon. This birthday is becoming interesting. [laughter] Since there will be plenty, each family can take two cartons home.
>> Two cartons each. Yes, >> Chinedu, stop before I start feeling sorry for you. >> I’m serious. [sighs] Do you know Samuel Obi? Yes. You know Samuel Obi. You know him personally? Yes. How? He’s my friend. Your friend? [laughter] What kind of friend? The normal kind. Samuel arranged the delivery. This man.
[laughter] You expect us to believe Samuel Obi is sending you 50 cartons of Heritage Reserve? Yes. You were talking about Apex Group before. What about it? You mentioned the senior people there. >> Yes. He works for me. [screaming] Please take him home. [laughter] What? Henry Wanko works for you? Yes. [sighs] The group CEO of Apex? >> Yes.
You? >> Yes. A [laughter] Chinedu, you are killing me today. [sighs and gasps] Can I talk to you >> now? >> Yes. >> What are you doing? >> Talking. >> Can I do >> what? >> Are you okay? You don’t normally do this. Start telling people that Samuel Obi is your friend and Henry Nanko works for you. >> They asked. >> I know what they are saying is painful.
Chinedu, you don’t have to pretend with me. >> It isn’t. I’m not pretending. >> You don’t need to prove anything to these people. Then let them talk. >> I’m not trying to prove anything. You are worried about me. >> Of course I am. The drinks are coming. >> Please. >> I’m serious. [sighs] >> I don’t care whether 50 cartons come or not.
I don’t want you allowing my family to push you into behaving like somebody you are not. >> I know who I am. >> Arinma, bring your husband here. >> Daddy, >> bring him. [sighs] I have been quiet because today is my birthday. >> Yes, sir. >> But there is a limit. >> I understand. >> No, you don’t. Poverty is not a crime. If a man does not have money, he can still have respect.
>> Daddy, >> let me speak. But when a man has nothing and starts lying because he wants people to think he is important, that is another problem. >> Chinedu is not a liar. >> 50 cartons. Samuel Obi is his friend. Henry Wanko works for him. >> Enough, >> daddy. Please. >> No. This man has embarrassed you for long enough.
I am your father. I have watched this for 5 years >> and I have told you I am happy. >> You don’t know what is good for you anymore. >> Today you will choose. Choose your family or this useless husband. >> Daddy, what are you saying? Grandpa. [sighs] [music] >> Daniel. Mommy. Daddy. >> What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be in school? >> I brought grandpa’s present.
>> Madam, I thought you knew. >> Knew what? >> Grandpa, happy birthday. >> What is all this? >> My present. Daniel, >> I used your letter. >> What letter? >> The one daddy gave you. Daniel, you took that. >> What is this? >> Diamonds. >> This Daniel, this is glass. >> It is not. [laughter] These are children’s stones.
>> No. >> I knew this family would finish me today. First 50 cartons, now a bag of diamonds. Who went with you? >> Uncle James. >> Sir, I didn’t know. He said you sent him and the bank confirmed everything. And these ones, >> ma’am, we’re with security. We are here to complete the transfer of the assets. Assets? Mr.
Nosu, we need your signature for final handover. >> You even hired people to make it look real. >> They are not actors. >> Please. >> Thank you, sir. Bye. >> They did not even stay for food. >> Of course not. Their job is finished. [laughter] >> How much did you pay them? >> Pay who? >> The actors. >> They are not actors. >> Daniel, these things are fake.
Look at this. If it were a real diamond, do you know how much it would cost? >> No, it is real. >> Who told you? >> My daddy. >> You taught him this. Taught him what? To lie. >> Daddy doesn’t lie. >> Daniel, enough. But mommy, daddy said, [panting] [sighs] >> “This is what I was talking about. You can insult me.
You can say whatever you want about me, but don’t bring Daniel into it.” >> What? Then don’t use him for your nonsense. Come with me, >> Arma. >> Please tell me the truth. >> I always do. >> Please don’t say that now. I married you because you are a good man. I didn’t marry you because I thought you were rich. I don’t need you to compete with Helen’s husband or Grace’s husband or Victor or anybody.
>> I know I’m not competing. >> Then what is happening? >> They are diamonds. >> Chinedu. >> They are. >> Please stop. I know they have been insulting you. I know my family can be cruel. But you never needed to create anything for me. I didn’t create anything. >> Then how did our four-year-old son walk into one of the most private banks in the country and come back with a school bag full of diamonds? >> Because I authorized it.
>> Listen to yourself. >> I am listening. You are telling me that Crown Meridian Bank gave Daniel millions in diamonds because you wrote something on paper. >> Yes. >> I don’t want this. >> What? >> I don’t want you trying to become somebody else because of my family. I love the man I married.
I’m not becoming somebody else and so do I. >> They really are diamonds. >> Please. >> Fine. If believing they’re fake will make you feel better, they’re fake. It’s fine. [music] [singing] >> I really want you. Arma, you people done? Please don’t let this become worse. >> All right. Pack these things. >> They are grandpa’s present.
>> I don’t want them. >> Why? >> Because I don’t need a bag of glass. They are not glass. >> And Chinedu, you can leave. I have had enough for one day. >> Daddy, he came here because of me. >> Then he can go because of me. >> Maybe that is best. At least everybody can enjoy the birthday in peace. >> Fine. >> If he is leaving, I am leaving too.
Arinma, don’t start. There is nothing to start. You will leave your father’s birthday because of this man. >> This man is my husband. >> I am your father >> and he is my family too. >> So now your husband is more important than your father. >> Why must everything be a competition? >> Because I am trying to save you from making the worst mistake of your life.
>> I have been married for 5 years. At what point will you accept that this is my life? When you come to your senses, you have wasted 5 years carrying a man who should be carrying you. >> I am happy. >> You think you are? >> No, Daddy. I know I am. >> If you walk out with him today, don’t come back and complain to me tomorrow.
>> I have never complained to you about my marriage. >> Daniel, pack your things. You are really going for Chinedu for my marriage. [music] >> Arinma, [music] I don’t know what I did to deserve you. >> What? This is not the time to become romantic. I am serious. >> So am I. Let’s go. [singing] [music] >> Who is that? >> Good afternoon. [music] We have a
delivery for Mr. Peter Okafo. >> What delivery? 50 cartons of Heritage Reserve. 50 what? >> I told you. >> [music] >> This looks original. It is original. Where did all this come from? The release was approved through Mr. Samuel Ob’s office. >> Thank you. You can bring everything
inside. [sighs] >> You are serious. >> I normally am. >> This is not funny. >> I didn’t laugh. How did you get 50 cartons? You really know Samuel Obi personally? How close are you? >> I told you Samuel helped me. And yes, we’re close enough. >> Everything is complete, sir. Thank you. >> Chinedu, you should have just told us Samuel was really your friend.
>> I did. >> Well, yes, but you know how it sounded. Chinedu my brother. >> My brother. [snorts] >> You know I have always said family should help family. >> 5 minutes ago you were laughing at him. >> I was joking. >> Of course. >> If you are close to Samuel Obi, there may be some opportunities. >> Exactly. Even if Samuel cannot help directly, he must know plenty of people.
>> Look at them now, bowing and scraping. Money and power change everything from critics to sick offense in a heartbeat. [cheering] [applause] >> At least the drinks have arrived. Happy birthday again, sir. Thank you. There are enough cartons. Like I said earlier, each family can take two home. >> Two? >> Yes.
>> Chinedu, you are a good man. >> You just discovered. >> Since you and Samuel are close, I have something I have been trying to do in the drink sector. If you introduce me to him, I can take it from there. I also have a proposal. Go on. And you didn’t tell us your husband had connections like this? I didn’t know.
You didn’t know? No. >> I told you Samuel was my friend. >> I thought you were joking. >> You think many things I say are jokes. >> Because you say strange things with a straight face. >> So about Samuel. >> Sorry, I can’t help. Why? [sighs] I don’t like asking people for favors unless it is important. But we are family.
I know it doesn’t have to be a favor, just an introduction. No. >> What is the problem? I don’t have enough time to start handling people’s business matters. >> What time? Sorry, but what exactly is taking your time? >> You don’t work. >> I do plenty. Like what? I wake up before 6:00 most mornings. >> To do what? >> Make breakfast.
I get Daniel ready for school. If Arinma has an early meeting, I make sure she has eaten before she leaves. I handle most school runs unless James is taking Daniel. I do the groceries. I wash clothes. I clean when it needs to be done. Listen to this man. I make dinner. In the evening, I spend time with my son. Arinma and I talk about her day.
Sometimes we watch something together. Sometimes we just sit. Then I sleep. And you are proud of that. Very that is not a man’s life. Why? Why? A man should be outside making money. And who decided that? Everybody knows that if Helen cooks, washes clothes, and takes care of your children, does that make her useless? That is different.
Why? She is a woman. So when a woman takes care of her family, she is a good wife. But when a man does it, he is useless. Arma likes her work. She built her business herself. She enjoys it. >> So we agreed. She spends more time handling the business and I handle more things at home. >> You make it sound normal.
It is normal in my house. Your wife is feeding you. [laughter] If that is how you want to see it. Doesn’t it bother you? Not even a little. My wife is happy. My son is happy. I wake up without hating my life. What exactly should I be ashamed of? >> You have such a peaceful confidence, a non-competitive heart.
That’s why I chose you. [sighs] He is here. Victor Happy birthday, sir. Just something small. You call this small? You deserve more, [laughter] >> Victor. It’s an honor. >> We’ve heard so much about you. It’s wonderful to finally meet you. >> The pleasure is all mine. We must celebrate. >> Absolutely. Arma >> Victor >> it has been a long time so this is your husband Victor Chinedu Victor is doing extremely well now >> Daddy >> what I am only saying the truth some men
understand that a family needs more than off. What is all this heritage reserve? All of it. 50 cartons. Who brought them? our house husband. You Yes. [laughter] What is funny? Nothing. You told them you brought these. I did
bring them. No, you didn’t. >> What do you mean? The drink is genuine. We already checked. But Chenedu didn’t provide it. Then who did? I did. I wanted it to be a surprise. You. I spoke with Samuel Obi some time ago and I asked him to arrange a special birthday delivery for you. Ah, now this makes sense. 5 minutes ago, all of you believed Chinedu.
We believed because we didn’t know Victor was behind it. So, you’ll just believe whatever fits your narrative. Victor’s word is enough. >> When did you speak with Samuel? That is [music] between Samuel and me. I see. I didn’t want to announce what I spent. It was supposed to be a gift. Victor, you shouldn’t have. It is nothing, sir. So, you saw Victor’s delivery and claimed it.
>> No, Chinedu, [music] this one is bad. You stole the credit. This is shameful. [sighs] Nobody even knows if Victor is telling the truth. Victor can afford 50 cartons. So because he has money, anything he says must be true. It makes more sense. >> Do you still want to say you brought these? Yes. Then prove it.
That’s easy. Who are you calling? Samuel. You have Samuel Ob’s number? Yes, [laughter] >> chairman. >> Yes, give me that. [sighs] >> There is no need for all this. Chairman, >> is everything all right? >> Samuel, where are you? [singing] >> Not far away, sir. >> I need you to come over. That won’t be necessary. >> Can you come now? >> Yes, chairman.
>> Good. >> I just remembered I have somewhere else to be. It is urgent. Victor, stay. We need to talk. You just arrived. >> It is urgent. >> Samuel [music] is coming. >> Good. You people can talk. Why are you in such a hurry, [music] Victor? >> Victor, what is wrong? Nothing. >> Then why are you leaving? >> I remembered something important.
>> At least wait for Samuel Obi. Since both of you know him, this matter will be settled immediately. I said I have somewhere to be. Samuel will be here soon. >> You don’t need to repeat it. [music] [music] >> I know to love you. I know even [singing] see I’m gone now more laughter take >> Mr. Samuel, welcome, sir.
>> Samuel, good to see you. Wait, Samuel. >> Chair, >> thank you for coming. Mr. Chinedu, of course. >> Mr. Samuel, I I don’t know if you remember me, David Yume. We met briefly at a business dinner some months ago. All right. [sighs] >> You said there was a problem. There is no problem. >> You were the one who said there was.
>> I think the matter has already been misunderstood. What misunderstanding? >> Victor says he arranged those drinks. Did he? >> No. The 50 cartons were released because Mr. Chenedu requested them. >> Samuel, maybe you have forgotten. I spoke to somebody in your office about the birthday delivery.
About [music] what? You did not arrange this delivery. I approved the release myself. Mr. Chinedu asks for 50 cartons. I sent 50 cartons. It is that simple. Samuel, there is no need to make this bigger than it is. You know me. I am answering the question. I know who you are. You have called my office several times asking for meetings.
You also sent two proposals last year. That is not necessary enough. You claimed you arranged a delivery from my office. I am explaining our relationship. >> So, you don’t even work with Samuel. I never said I work for him. >> You said he handled the drinks for you. >> Stay out of this. [singing] >> [singing] >> You still choose me.
>> So Chinedu really arranged all these. That is what Samuel just said. >> Well, nobody knew. Chinedu told you. >> Since you are already here, sir, I have actually been hoping to discuss something with you. It is a business idea, a very strong opportunity. >> Not today. >> Of course, another time. Victor, >> why did you say the drinks were yours? >> It was a misunderstanding.
>> How? >> You should go. >> What? I said you should go. You cannot order me out of somebody else’s house. >> Maybe we should continue this discussion another day. This does not prove anything. >> I didn’t ask you to prove anything. >> What kind of man comes to somebody’s birthday and claims another person’s gift? [sighs] >> Very embarrassing.
You were believing him 10 minutes ago because we didn’t know the truth. Exactly. And I am beginning to wonder how much truth none of us knows. >> Can I ask you something? >> Yes. >> Who are you? >> Your husband. >> I know that. >> And Daniel’s father. >> Chinedu. This man almost called you something when he entered. I misspoke. What were you going to call him? >> Samuel, you see what I mean? My most important identity is being your husband.
>> That is sweet, but it is not an answer. >> We will talk at home. >> Thank you for coming anytime. You are still leaving. >> Yes. >> The birthday has not ended. >> I have had enough birthday for one day. >> Arinma, >> we will talk another time. Daddy, >> I hope you enjoy the drink, sir. >> Thank you. At least the drama is over.
Chinedu said every family could take two. >> Leave them. >> What? >> I said leave my drinks. >> Daddy, there are 50 cartoons. What will you do with 50 cartoons? >> That is my business. >> But Chinedu already said we could take two each. >> He gave them to me. Now you know they are real. You don’t want to share. >> What about these? Please throw those things away.
>> Give it to me. >> Daddy, what are you doing? >> Nothing. I want you to tell me what this is. >> Let me examine it closely. >> Where did you get this? Just tell me what it is. >> It is a diamond. >> A real one. Yes. Five carats. Very good clarity. Excellent quality. How much? >> $2.5 million. >> One
stone. One. There was a full school bag. What? Nothing. >> Daddy didn’t lie. Daddy didn’t lie. >> Daddy didn’t lie. >> It’s real. >> Daddy, stop. >> I had it tested. >> What did they say? >> Real diamond. >> How much? >> Daniel had a whole bag. A school bag. >> Wait. Chinedu gave me this two years ago. >> The cheap one. >> I thought it was cheap gold.
Real? Real? >> I still have one bracelet Chinedu gave me. [sighs and gasps] >> I threw mine away. >> You threw away gold? >> How was I supposed to know? I gave mine to my daughter to play with. Nobody should touch anything again. >> Arinma has that big wooden jewelry box. >> How much is inside? A lot. >> If one diamond is worth that much, then the whole chest is worth millions.
>> Stop. Who exactly did Arinma marry? We should go and see her. After yesterday, we are family. Yesterday you said she should leave her husband. People say things when they are angry. >> I will go. >> I am coming with you. >> Daddy. >> Arinma. My daughter. >> What are you doing here? >> We came to talk. Won’t you let your father inside? >> Good afternoon, little sister.
Grandpa. >> My boy. >> What happened? >> Does something have to happen before I visit my daughter >> after yesterday? Yes. [sighs] >> Arma, don’t be like that. Like what? We came in peace. That makes me more worried. I thought about everything yesterday. I said some things I should not have said. You are my daughter.
We should not be fighting like strangers. >> Is this because of the drinks? Because Chinedu knows Samuel. Dad, Chinedu is still the same man you insulted yesterday. He still cooks. He still washes clothes. He still stays home with Daniel. >> I know. >> So don’t suddenly behave differently because you think he knows an important person. Nobody is doing that. Good.
>> Daniel, come. You have become a rich little man. >> I am Daniel. >> That bag of shiny stones you brought yesterday. >> Diamonds. >> Yes. Where did you get them? >> I told everybody. >> From the bank. >> Yes. Does mommy have more things like that? Grace, what? Why are you questioning my son? I’m playing with him.
Then ask about his toys. >> Fine. Do you have sweets? >> No. >> I can buy you plenty. >> Mommy says too much sweets is bad for my teeth. [sighs] >> Does mommy still have that big wooden box? >> What box? >> The one with all the shiny things. Maybe rats are eating the things inside. >> Rats don’t open boxes. [laughter] >> Grace, >> enough.
[snorts] Why are you really here? >> Daddy, >> we heard Chinedu has given you some jewelry over the years. >> So, >> nothing. We were just talking >> about my jewelry. We only want to see it. Why? Curiosity. I understand. You people think because the drinks were real, suddenly everything Chinedu has ever touched must be expensive. Fine. All these came from Chinedu.
>> Most of them. This is heavy. Don’t get excited. According to Chinedu, everything in there is worth a fortune. >> You don’t believe him? >> I didn’t. After yesterday, I don’t know what to believe. They look real. >> Please don’t start. I have allowed Daniel to play with some of those things before. >> What? >> They are just jewelry.
>> Yes, they probably aren’t worth much. Exactly. >> We should go. That’s all. >> We came to make peace, >> right? >> Mommy. >> Yes. Auntie Grace took something. >> What? >> She put one of Daddy’s things inside her bag. Mommy, will you tell Daddy? >> Not yet. >> Why? >> Because I want to know what she is looking for.
>> She stole Daddy’s thing. >> I know. >> Stealing is bad. >> Yes, it is. >> Where did you get this? [music] >> Why? >> This is not ordinary jewelry. >> Is it real gold? >> Very real. How much? >> About 1.5 million >> for this small thing. >> That is only the gold value. >> What do you mean? >> There is also an asset number here.
>> What asset number? >> I have seen markings like this before on high value private pieces. >> From where? >> Apex. >> Apex group. >> It doesn’t mean the company made it. [music] It may belong to a private collection connected to them. [sighs and panting] [sighs] Frank, I just found out something shocking about Chinedu.
We have to talk about this now. [sighs] >> What? >> We need to stop. >> Stop what? Anything concerning Arin Manedu? >> Why? >> I tested it >> and >> it is real. >> We already know some of his things are real. >> No, you don’t understand. The jeweler found a private asset number connected to Apex Group >> for one bracelet. >> Yes. Chinedu called Samuel Obi and Samuel came immediately.
Now this >> maybe Samuel gave it to him. >> Frank, what if Chinedu is more important than we think? >> You people are allowing one drinks distributor to confuse you. >> Samuel Obi is not just a drinks distributor. >> I know. >> Then listen to me. >> Victor already investigated Chinedu. >> Victor? >> Yes. >> What did he find? >> Nothing.
>> Nothing. >> Chinedu and Wosu. No serious company, no public position, no known big investment, nothing. >> Then explain all this. >> He knows Samuel. He has been helping him. >> Victor knows what he is doing. >> What exactly are you and Victor doing? >> Grace, Victor wants Aaron Ma. >> I know that [sighs] >> if things work out between them, he promised me a senior director position.
You are helping a man chase your wife’s married sister because he promised you a job. >> Don’t make it sound stupid. >> It sounds stupid because it is stupid. >> Do you know what that position will do for us? >> And if Chinedu is truly connected to Apex, >> he isn’t. >> How sure are you? >> Leave men’s business alone.
>> Mr. Samuel. >> Good afternoon, madam. >> Please call me Arinma. >> Yes, madam. Your friend is still calling me madam. >> Samuel likes respect too much. >> I will bring tea. >> No, >> no. >> I mean, please don’t bother. >> It is only tea. >> I don’t drink tea. >> You don’t? >> No. >> Coffee? >> No. juice. >> I am fine.
>> What kind of guest enters someone’s house and refuses everything? >> I am allergic >> to tea. >> Yes. >> And coffee. >> Sometimes. >> Are you laughing? >> No. You are. [sighs] Please drink something. >> Why do you keep looking at my husband? >> No reason. >> I thought you were allergic. >> It comes and goes. [laughter] You two are strange.
[laughter] >> Stay and eat with us. >> No, thank you. >> Why? >> I have work. >> But you just arrived. >> Urgent work. Very urgent. >> Your friend behaves as if you are his boss. Samuel worries too much. >> He almost called you chairman at daddy’s birthday. >> He made a mistake. >> He looks at you before answering simple questions.
>> Maybe he trusts my judgment. >> And he is suddenly allergic to tea in my house. Something is going on. >> Nothing bad. >> That is not the same as nothing. >> You think too much >> and you hide too much. Daddy. >> Oh, hi. Daddy. >> Got you, my boy. >> I want that milk drink from the place we went last week. >> The one you said was too sweet.
>> I changed my mind. >> Of course, >> I don’t want it again. >> I will get it. >> Chinedu, leave it. >> You want it? I can survive. >> I know, but I’m already here. >> Fine. >> Boss, give me that stone and take my place. You want this? [laughter] It is fine. My daughter likes shiny things. Yes, you are serious. Take my place.
Fake or not, at least I saved myself 20 minutes. You did >> Frank >> Arinma, >> what are you doing here? >> I need to talk to you >> about what? >> Come, it will only take a minute. >> Chinedu is buying something. We will be back before he comes out. >> What is this? >> Just cooperate, >> Frank. Leave me. [panting] [sighs] [gasps] Talk.
>> Madam’s registered vehicle has not moved, but our system picked up an emergency movement alert from her security tag. >> Location. >> We are tracing it now. >> Who took her? >> Still checking, sir. We have the vehicle. >> Where? The vehicle is registered to a company linked to Victor Maduka. >> Victor? >> Yes, sir.
>> Get my team. >> They are already moving. >> Nobody touches my wife. [groaning and screaming] [sighs and panting] Arinma. >> You kidnapped me. >> Don’t call it that. >> What should I call it? >> I wanted us to talk. >> You could have called me. >> You wouldn’t come. >> Exactly. >> You are making your life difficult for nothing. my life.
>> You deserve better. >> Better than what? >> Chinedu t. >> You are still young, beautiful, intelligent. Why are you wasting yourself on a man who washes clothes? >> Do not come close to me. >> You should be with a man people respect. >> I am with a man I respect. >> Because he knows Samuel Obi. >> No, because he is a better man than you.
>> You, >> Arinma, listen. You helped them. >> We are trying to help you >> by kidnapping me. >> Victor can give you a better life. >> And what does he give you? A job. >> You sold your wife’s sister for a job. >> Don’t talk like that. >> What should I call it? >> Arinma, wait. >> You people are sick.
My husband will come. your house husband. >> Yes. >> Let him come. [laughter] >> Convoys breached the gates. Heavy armor. They’re surrounding us. Draw weapons now. Hold position. >> What is happening? Chinedu. >> I’m here. >> [music] >> How did you find this place? Did they hurt you? >> Are you sure? >> Yes. >> You’re unheard. >> Yes.
>> Don’t ignore me in my own house. You have no idea who you are dealing with. I can make sure you never get work anywhere again. I can close every business door in front of you. By tomorrow, you may not have a business left to threaten me with. Still boasting. Everybody stop. >> Frank, have you lost your mind? >> Oh, Frank, no. Please, no more.
>> Nobody should come close. >> Frank, put it down. >> Stay back. >> [sighs] >> Let Victor go. Tell your men to move. Do not hurt her. I did all this for us. For us. Victor promised me a directorship. You risked Arinma’s life because of a position you don’t understand. I understand enough. What has he ever done for this family? >> Let me go.
>> 5 years he has been hiding behind Arinma. What has anybody gained from him? You think you can stop me? I’ll cut her right now. Stay back. One more step and she’s dead. You can’t win this. I’ll do it. >> Is that what marriage means to you? If you are really rich, why hide it? Why let your wife work? [music] If you had money and loved Arinma, you would spend it on her.
You think money is proof of love? At least it is proof of [music] something. For 5 years, whenever Arinma admired something, I remembered. >> What? >> The necklace you liked at that private showing? The bracelet you said was beautiful, but too expensive. >> The gold pieces in your box. >> I bought them because you like them. Chinedu, >> those cheap things.
>> They are not cheap. I tested one. It is real gold >> and it has an asset mark connected to Apex Group. [sighs] >> The diamonds, >> they are real. >> All of them. >> Yes. >> [singing] >> The whole back. >> Yes. [music] >> Break. [screaming] >> I’m here. I feel on my own, but when you beside me, it feels [singing and music]
>> I will explain everything. [music] Explain what a few security men and some real diamonds don’t make you important. >> And I know exactly what is happening now. Samuel has been using company property to impress his friends. >> I am ending this nonsense today. Victor, what are you doing? Calling somebody who can actually deal with him.
Henry Wango. >> You know Henry Wango? >> I have his direct office contact. >> Samuel Obi released 50 cartons of restricted company stock to an ordinary man. I have evidence. >> Henry is coming. >> This has gone too far. Should I be worried? >> No. >> That answer is not helping me anymore. >> You are safe.
Let us see how safe everybody feels when Apex arrives. >> Mr. Nanquo, [music] that is the man I reported. He released 50 cartons of Heritage Reserve to this family. I believe he has been abusing his position. >> Do you have the release documents? >> Yes. [music] >> If I go listen [singing] for me, we go car as one. No more secret. No more lie.
No more [music] goodbye. >> The stock was legally released. >> What? The 50 cartons [music] came from a private allocation. Who’s >> the chairman’s? >> Apex chairman? That doesn’t make sense. Why would the chairman of Apex send drinks to these people? >> No, it can’t be. I don’t believe it. >> Samuel must have forged something.
Good evening, Chairman Wasu. >> No, this is a joke, >> Chairman. >> Sir, Samuel informed us that there was a family matter. I didn’t realize you were here personally. >> Arinma, >> wait. You own Apex? >> I founded it. How much of it? Most of it. Chairman Wu is the controlling owner of Apex Group. >> The bank. >> Crown Meridian is part of the group’s financial holdings.
>> That is why Daniel walked in with your letter. >> Yes. >> The diamonds, the gold. >> They came from our private family assets. All ours. Madam, most of the senior executives in Apex report to the chairman directly or through his private office. >> You are Henry’s boss. >> Yes. >> David, weren’t you the one saying you knew people close to the chairman? Please don’t.
>> [singing] >> Chairman, I didn’t know. This whole thing was a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding. Yes. [sighs] You kidnapped my wife. I only wanted to talk to her. I never wanted to hurt her. >> You told them to take me to your room. If I knew who you were, none of this would have happened.
[music] So if I were really poor, it would have been acceptable. If I were an ordinary man, you could take my wife, handle it legally. >> We already have security footage and vehicle records. Madam statement will also be needed. >> Chairman, please. There will be no special punishment from me and there will be no protection either.
Kidnapping, unlawful detention, conspiracy, and assault will be reported. Please, my companies. Your companies are not my concern. Janedu, please >> wait. Please, please, Arinma, let him go. He is my husband. Arinma, please. I made a mistake. You put a knife to my neck. >> I was afraid. [gasps] >> Please think about me.
>> Did you think about me? >> You stole jewelry from my house because you wanted to know how much my husband was worth. >> I am sorry. >> You only started worrying when you thought Chinedu might be powerful. Erin Mahi has done wrong. But maybe, >> daddy, if Chinedu had not found me, what would have happened? If he had really been the poor house husband all of you thought he was, who would have saved me? But you are fine now.
I am fine because Chenedu came. That does not make what you did smaller. >> If Frank goes to prison, what will happen to my family? You were ready to destroy mine. I will not ask anybody to punish you more than the law allows, but I will not save you from what you did. [laughter] [music] [singing] I failed you.
I kept saying I wanted a better life for you. >> But I never asked whether you were happy with the life you already had. >> I am sorry. >> Things won’t become normal in one day. >> I know. >> I owe you an apology. >> I insulted you in my house. I called you useless. [music] I judged you because I thought you had nothing. >> Chinedu, we also >> You don’t have to say everything today.
>> David. >> Yes, Chairman. >> Chinedu is fine. >> And next time you tell people you know the chairman of Apex, at least you can finally tell the truth. Close the door. Why? 5 years. Chinedu, I slept beside you for 5 years. I defended you while thinking you were an ordinary man who chose to stay home. >> I am still that man.
>> Don’t do that. Before I met you, almost everybody around me wanted something. Money, contracts, access, jobs. Some wanted my name. Some wanted to be seen beside me. Then I met you. You liked me when you thought I was just Chinedu. >> I loved you. When we married, I kept telling myself I would explain everything later >> and later became 5 years >> because I was afraid.
I had one place where nobody cared about Chairman Wasu. I could wake up and make breakfast. I could take my son to school. I could listen to my wife complain about suppliers and customers. >> I do not complain that much. >> You do? >> [laughter] >> I liked our life. I was afraid that if I brought Apex into it, everything would change.
>> So, you decided for me. >> Yes. >> I don’t care that you are rich. I care that you didn’t trust me enough to tell me. >> I know I was protecting the life I loved, but I understand now that I was also keeping part of myself away from you. No more. >> No more. >> Any other secret companies? Secret wives. >> Arinma, >> I’m asking. Secret children.
>> No secret wives. Only Daniel. >> The drillery box. Everything is real. >> Yes, most of it. >> What does most mean? [sighs] >> The pieces I gave you are real. That bracelet Daniel wore while playing king last month. >> Our son was playing with the diamonds. >> Yes, the multi-million naira ones. >> I can’t believe this.
[sighs] >> The necklace I gave him for his school costume. Chinedu. >> Yes. >> [laughter] >> You told me it was worth millions. >> It is. >> Who says that with the same face they used to ask if rice is ready? [laughter] >> Helen threw hers away. >> I know. >> You knew. >> She said it was ugly. >> Ruth gave hers to her daughter.
You just allowed them. >> They didn’t want them. >> You are wicked. I didn’t say anything. >> Exactly. [laughter and gasps] So, you just watched me struggle. >> I helped when you asked me to help. I listened. I gave advice. But the business is yours, Arinma. I never wanted you to wake up one day and feel it only survived because of my money.
>> Do not secretly buy my company. >> I won’t. >> Chinedu, >> I promise. >> Why are you awake? >> I heard you laughing. Did daddy tell you the diamonds are real? I told everybody daddy doesn’t lie >> most of the time. >> What does that mean? >> Can I take diamonds to school again? >> No. [sighs] >> Adults are difficult.
>> It’s spoiled. Chinedu, >> I will buy another one tomorrow. >> I was kidnapped today. My brother-in-law was arrested and you are worried about my drink. >> You wanted it? [music] >> [music] >> I don’t need a new life. I just need you to stop hiding parts of yourself from me. >> I can do that. I [music] promise.
>> But I am still buying another drink. >> Fine. You know you undo me. You see the tears for my eyes, but you still >> I shouldn’t have taken it. I’m sorry. >> Thank you for returning it. I know trust takes time. It does, but this is a start. [music] No, [singing] you [music] [singing] stay around [music] me. >> Mommy, daddy put too much pepper.
>> I did not. >> So, this is the emergency? >> Yes. It’s too spicy. >> It’s flavorful, not spicy. >> All right, let’s all taste it. Daniel is right. >> I told you >> my own wife. [crying] >> You said no more secrets. That includes hiding too much pepper in the food. [laughter] Hey, that’s my special [music] recipe.
>> But dad, I helped stir. >> All right, you win. Chef, >> why are you smiling? >> Because I chose Well, >> you chose daddy. >> Yes. time.
