For thine is the kingdom...

the power and the glory...

forever and ever. Amen.

So you are blaming my son now.

I'm not blaming anyone.

- Adenike.

- Yeah?

- Go home.

- Home?

And give your husband your consent.

What then?

What happens when that woman

does not get pregnant?

Or the next?

Talk to Ayodele.

That is all I ask.

- And say what?

- Get him to go to the doctor.

He can help us.

- You want to help Ayodele?

- Yes.

You know what to do.

Amen, amen, amen to Jesus.

It's the same blood.

Only a woman truly knows

who the father is.

What?

To stick together as a family?

Other women do it.

Biyi.

Did you get my messages?

I called you and left messages

and you don't call me back.

Your brother brought you here

and has taken care of you.

I'm talking to you!

It is high time

you did something for him.

Get along now!

I brought your brother's lunch.

He's at the fish markets.

I have to...

Biyi.

I need to talk to you.

Not about the lunch.

- I have to go and prep right now.

- No. Please.

Please, please.

It will not take long.

I promise.

You know...

Your brother and I...

We've been trying for long...

for very long to have a baby.

It might be me.

But if it is not...

then another woman does not make

sense, sure you understand.

I have to go and do

some work in the kitchen.

No!

You know what this means to him.

- I have to go inside...

- He is a good man.

I have to go inside the kitchen.

And you also.

You are a good man.

Please, eh?

I do not know what else to do.

What are you doing today?

Oh, I'm...

just going shopping with Sade.

Do you have money?

Say hi.

Whenever you want, I'll go

with you to the doctor.

You know you wanna take the day.

I had a day.

Hey!

You have strong toes.

That day was two weeks ago.

I'm lucky I even have a job.

Hold on, hold on.

Sorry.

Hello? Hey.

That's great.

Oh, that's so great. Hold on.

Nike's pregnant.

I'm so happy.

Did you talk to my brother?

Why isn't he meeting us here?

Thank you.

Sorry I'm late.

Look who the cats dragged in.

- Mami.

- Why you always late?

I'm sorry.

It's not my fault.

- Congratulations!

- Oh, thank you.

Congrats, mama.

Oh, my God.

I'm so happy for you.

- Thank you.

- So big already!

Hey!

Hey, everybody!

You are so funny.

- Grab a seat.

- Ah, okay.

Just bring this seat here.

Sit next to the mama.

- You all right?

- Okay.

Feels good, doesn't it?

Shoot mama.

You better don't shoot me.

Beautiful, Mama. Beautiful.

Adenike.

So when is Babatunde going

to arrive?

November 23.

November 23?

Now we know...

what lotto number

we supposed to play.

Where is Biyi?

- Make him come out.

- Biyi, Biyi, Biyi!

Biyi, Biyi!

- Let's make a toast.
