Billionaire’s Son Pretends To Be A Poor Bus Driver To Find Love Then This Happened

Good evening, sir.  Good evening. You can close for the day. Hello.  Are you home?  Just got in.  My birthday is next week.  I remember.  I don’t even want anything serious this year, just a little something expensive like that necklace we saw. You are acting like you cannot afford it.  That is not the point.

 If you love me, this should not be a discussion. You embarrassed me over something you can easily afford.  Cynthia.  Forget it.  If I had nothing, would anyone still choose me?  Chima, I need money for a new car. Chima, buy me that designer bag. You can afford it. Help me get the apartment.

 If you really care about me,  maybe they loved what I could give them, not me. What if nobody knew I had money? I need you to help me disappear for a while.  Disappear and do what?  I want to become a commercial bus driver.  A bus driver? Chima, are you serious? Wait, you are actually serious.  Very serious.  Your mother will blame me for this.

 I know. This is what I found. It is perfect.  Perfect? Chima, look at it. You are used to a bedroom bigger than this whole place. This will do. You have really lost your mind. No money, no name, just me. If your mother sees you like this, I am finished. She will not see me. That is what you think. Driver, move now.

 I am waiting for two more people. Are we sleeping here?  Where’s my change?  Here is your change.  This is not enough. I gave you 1,000 naira.  Madam, you gave me 500.  Are you calling me a liar?  Driver, just give her the money so we can go.  Fine.  That is what I was telling you.  If she knew who I really was, would she still treat me this way?  I will bring some money home tonight.

Please, just manage what you have.  Driver, please give me my complete change.  To me, this used to look like small money. To someone else, it could be dinner. I paid them every month. But did I ever stop to ask how they were really living?  Still enjoying your experiments?  I understand drivers better now.

 Already?  More than I ever did before.  Good morning, driver.  Good morning.  You’re looking handsome today.  Thank you. You too.  You are too fine for this work.  What work should I be doing?  Maybe banking. Long day?  Very.  At least you still look good.  She knew nothing about my real life, yet she seemed interested.

 Chima, could you do me a small favor? I forgot to withdraw money.  Pay tomorrow.  Really? Thank you. Yesterday and today.  You remembered.  Of course.  Maybe I had judged women too quickly.  Chima, can you help me with 1,000 naira airtime?  Your airtime has finished?  Completely, and I need lunch money, too, and free rides.

I’ve sent it. Thank you.  You’re welcome.  You are really sweet. I left my wallet at home.  Again?  Please help me with lunch. I’ll sort you out later.  Here.  I knew you wouldn’t let me suffer. Just make sure you eat.  Maybe I was reading too much into it. People help each other every day.  You’ll carry me today, right?  You didn’t bring your fare?  You won’t leave me here.

 [music]  Airtime, lunch, free rides. Was this beginning again?  Chima, I need a favor.  What is it?  I need 20,000 naira.  I can’t do that, Brenda. I don’t have 20,000 to give you.  What do you mean you don’t have it?  I also have expenses.  So, what exactly are you bringing to the table?  What do you mean?  Every time I need something, you have an excuse.

I cannot struggle with a man. You are nice, Chima, but nice is not enough.  I understand. One woman disappointed you. That does not mean every woman will. It keeps happening. Then stop waiting for every woman to prove you right. Maybe love is not something you can test like a business deal. Then how do I know what is real? You may have to stop looking for proof.

 Good evening.  Good evening. She did not try to get my attention. She simply greeted me and sat down.  Good evening.  Good evening. The same greeting. The same quiet smile.  My son, please, I am short.  How much do you have?  Madam, if you don’t have transport money, why did you enter?  How much is remaining? God bless you, my daughter. Amen, mama.

God will send someone to help you, too.  [music]  She did not even look around to see who noticed.  Good evening.  You are late today. You are late.  You noticed?  You normally come earlier.  So, you have been watching me. Work was so tiring today.  You can rest now. Long day?  Very long.  What do you do?  I work in a provision shop.

 Careful.  Thank you.  You don’t like working there?  I like having a job. I just hate standing all day.  Try driving this bus all day.  At least you get to sit. At least you sit while working.  For hours.  But you are still sitting.  Drive this bus for 1 day.  No, thank you.  Do you live with your family?  My mother.

 Your father?  He died some years ago.  I’m sorry.  Thank you. He did not ask me to explain. I like that. My mother has not been very strong since my father died.  Is she sick?  She has some health problems that come and go.  Do you have siblings?  One older brother. He has his own family.  So, most things are on you?  That is life.

 How do you manage everything?  Salary comes, salary goes.  Fuel comes, money goes.  [laughter]  TAKE IT EASY. DON’T PUSH. WATCH YOUR STEP.  WHAT?  I’VE GOT YOU. Are you all right?  Are you okay?  Yes.  Did you hurt your leg?  No.  Sit in front.  I can sit anywhere.  Amaka, sit in front.

 Let’s go, we’re waiting. Oh, yeah, enter now.  Something [music] had changed between us.  Thank you.  You already thanked me.  I mean, for catching me.  You would have done the same.  Maybe. How exactly would I catch you?  Go home.  Goodnight, Chima.  Goodnight, Amaka. This was becoming more than an experiment.

 You have something on your mouth.  Where?  You are eating like someone who has never seen corn before.  What do you really want for yourself?  My own business someday.  What kind?  A provision and household shop. Something that is mine.  Why haven’t you started?  Money.  Maybe you are waiting for the right time.

 The right time usually needs money, too.  I could open 10 shops for her without feeling the cost.  You can go from here.  You are hiding me.  I am protecting my peace.  From your mother?  You don’t know Nigerian mothers.  There is someone.  What are you talking about?  You sound happy.

 What is her name?  Amaka.  Be careful, Chima.  I know.  I mean with her heart, too.  I understand. Amaka thought she was getting to know a bus driver. She had no idea who I really was.  Would you marry a poor man?  Is this an interview?  Just answer me.  I would not marry a lazy man.  That is different.  No.

Poor and lazy are not the same thing. If he is hardworking and responsible, why reject him?  What if things never change?  Then we manage what we have.  She said it as if struggling with someone she loved was not shameful. Come and see where I live one [music] day.  Your room?  Yes.  Why? I am not just entering a man’s room anyhow.

 I understand.  Daytime, when people are around.  Agreed. This is it.  You live here alone?  Yes.  At least it is clean.  That is all?  It is small. You wanted honesty.  No disgust, no pity, nothing.  [music]  Sometimes I wonder what woman would want this.  This room?  This life.  Money matters. We all need it.

But I would rather build with a good man than cry inside a beautiful house.  You really believe that?  [music]  I do.  She was trusting me more every day. And I was still lying to her.  Chima, this is Sarah, my best friend. So, you are Chima.  She talks about me?  Wait. He is the driver. Yes. This is the man you told us about? Amaka, you surprise me.

Out of all the men around, you chose a commercial bus driver. You can do better than this. Better according to who? He’s worth it. I won’t leave him. He works honestly. He respects me. And he has a good heart. I am not ashamed of him. That is all that matters.  That was the answer I had been looking for. She had passed every test.

And now I was the one failing her.  What happened? She defended me today. And that is bad? [music] She thinks all of this is real. Then the test is over. I know. Tell her the truth before somebody else does.  If she leaves after hearing the truth, I will deserve it.  No more pretending.  Why did he sound so serious? Chima?

 Amaka.  Whose car is this?  Mine.  Your what? Start talking.  My name really is Chima Okafor.  I know your name.  My family owns businesses. I have investments, houses, and cars.  Then the bus?  It was part of something I planned.  The room?  Not my real home.  So even that was fake?  Yes.

Women kept wanting what I could give them. I wanted to know if someone could love me without the [music] money.  So you tested me. When I told you about my father, I was being real. When I told you about my mother, I was being real. And you were studying me.  Yes, I tested you. But my feelings were real.  How am I supposed to know that? I did not fall in love with your poverty.

And I would never love you because you are rich. I loved the man I thought you were.  Amaka, please.  I need space.  Let me take you home.  No.  I finally told her the truth. And I may have lost her because I waited too long. Maybe she will never answer me again.  Hello, Amaka. What you did was wrong.

 I know.  I am still angry.  You have every right to be.  I understand why you became afraid of being used.  Thank you.  Understanding you does not make the lie right. No more tests.  Never again.  No more pretending.  Never.  What part of the man I knew was real?  My words, my beliefs, the way I felt with you.

 And your feelings?  Completely real.  I don’t completely trust you yet.  I will earn it back.  But I still love you.  I love you, too. No more secrets.  I mean it, Chima.  So do [music] I.  What if they don’t like me?  Just be yourself.  That did not answer me.  I’m with you.  Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon, ma.

Good afternoon, Amaka.  Sit.  What do you do, Amaka?  I work as a sales assistant in a provision shop, ma.  And your parents?  My father is late. I live with my mother.  I met Amaka while I was pretending to be a commercial bus driver.  You did what?  She believed I had nothing.  You became a commercial driver to find a woman?  I wanted someone who wanted me, not my money.

 You embarrassed THIS FAMILY FOR AN EXPERIMENT.  DAVID, PLEASE. Let’s just talk. Marriage into this family comes with certain expectations. You don’t think I fit.  No, you don’t.  Marriage into this family comes with certain expectations. You don’t think I fit.  No, you don’t.  Choose her and you lose your position in the company.

No family money. No inheritance.  Chima, don’t answer now.  I choose her. Then go.  Chima.  Come with me.  I should have felt happy. Instead, I was terrified by what he had just given up. I never asked you to choose between me and your family.  I know.  Then why did you do it?  Because I will not let them choose who I love.

 And what happens now?  We build our own life.  He sounded certain. I was not.  It is not much.  We have somewhere to sleep.  For now.  What is this?  Rice.  This rice has suffered.  It will still taste good.  [laughter]  You miss your air conditioner.  Right now, very much.  Good. Suffer small.

 [music]  Rent is due next week.  I know.  And my mother needs this medicine.  We will handle it.  Driver, are you going?  Yes, enter quickly. Fuel, [music] rent, food, medicine. Tomorrow I start again.  Do you regret it?  Regret what?  Leaving everything. One day you may look at me and remember everything you gave up.

 I chose you.  That is what scares me. I don’t need a mansion. But I don’t want you destroying yourself to prove you love me.  I am not proving anything.  Then stop acting like suffering is the only way to choose me.  Not today. That is the best I can do. Take it. Yesterday’s work was gone in one repair.

Your father wants to see you. Why? He did not say. That means I probably won’t like it.  You have lost weight.  I’m fine.  You don’t look fine.  Mom, where is Dad?  Come home, Chima. And Amaka? Sit down. Answer me first. Sandra Ezei. I know who she is. Her father is one of my oldest business partners.

 What does that have to do with me? Marry Sandra and everything returns. Your position, your inheritance, your place in this family. At the price of Amaka. At the price of making a sensible decision. No. You are struggling. That is my problem. If Amaka is right for you, why are both of you suffering? My father made me an offer.  What kind of offer?  He wants me to marry Sandra Ezei.

 And if you do? And if you marry Sandra?  I get my position back. My family, my inheritance, everything.  Everything you lost because of me. And if you marry Sandra?  I get my position back. My family, my inheritance, everything.  Everything you lost because of me. You are tired.  I’m fine.  You keep saying that.

How long could we live like this before he started regretting me? I think you should go home.  No.  Chima, listen to me.  I said no.  You need your family.  I need you.  I cannot keep watching you lose everything because of me.  I chose this. Tell me the truth. Do you want me to go?  No.  Then stop pushing me away.

 Wanting you is not the same as believing this is right.  Do you really want me to leave?  No.  Then why?  Because I think it is the right thing.  I love you.  I love you, too.  This does not feel right.  I know. I had told the man I loved to leave. Now the room felt empty because he listened. You are home.

 So you finally came to your senses. Don’t ask me about Amaka. Remember, [music] this dinner matters.  I know, Dad.  [music]  It has been a long time.  Yes.  You look different.  So do you. It is good seeing both of you together again. Very good.  Our parents are not exactly being subtle. I heard there was someone.

 There was.  Was?  Her name is Amaka.  Do you still love her?  Sandra.  You don’t have to answer. Your face already did. We don’t have to force anything. We can take it slowly.  That is probably best. Even standing beside Sandra, all I could think about was Amaka.  You have not been eating well.  I’m just tired.

 Amaka, this is more than tiredness. When last did you see your period?  Mama, think. No, it could not be.  [sighs]  Chima. What am I going to do?  You are pregnant.  Yes.  Call Chima.  I can’t.  This baby has a father.  I know. Then Chima deserves to know.  He has gone back to his family.  What if he is already with Sandra?  That changes nothing.

 I will not use a baby to bring him back.  Telling him the truth is not using him.  Is everything okay?  Everything looks fine.  [sighs and gasps]  There is more than one baby. Twins? Not twins. You are carrying triplets. Three babies? Yes. One baby had already frightened me. Now there were three.  [music]  Two boys and one girl.

Are they healthy? They look good, but you will need careful monitoring. Triplets. Two boys and a girl. Amaka Chima has to know now. I’m not ready. Are you okay? Yes, I’m fine. I needed every day of work I could manage.  [sighs]  You should stop working so much. If I stop, what will we use? We will manage. Every day I almost called him.

Every day fear stopped me.  [music]  This one is beautiful. If you like it. You sound very excited. You are still thinking about Amaka. Sandra. You don’t have to pretend with me. I had agreed to move forward. My heart had not. We should start discussing the guest list. Whatever you prefer. Chima, are you all right? I’m fine, Mom.

He kept saying he was fine. His face kept saying something else. I asked for tea, not this. I’m sorry, Ma. Sorry does not make it right. Sandra, what’s the matter? This tea is unacceptable. You can go. It is fine. She needs to learn to listen. She is still a person, Sandra. Amaka never needed anyone to teach her how to respect people.

Hello. I told you I would call. No, Chima is not here. I miss you, too. Who were you talking to? Jennifer. Jennifer? Yes, an old friend. Something about the answer felt too quick. Going somewhere? I’m meeting Jennifer. I thought Jennifer traveled. She came back.  [music]  I need you to find out where Sandra Ize goes.

 [music]  Do not let her know she is being watched. Madam, we found something. What? Sandra is seeing someone. Who is he? Who is the man? His name is Daniel. He works as Mr. Eze’s personal driver. His driver? I hate pretending. Then stop. You know it is not that simple. And when you marry him  I don’t love Chima.

 But you will still marry him.  My father wants the marriage. We rejected Amaka because she was poor. And the woman we chose is in love with a driver. Maybe the problem was never Amaka. Maybe it was us. Chima.  Hm?  Are you happy?  Why are you asking me that?  [sighs]  I’m fine.  Stop telling me that.

Are you happy with Sandra?  No. I still love Amaka.  Have you tried finding her?  Yes. She moved. Her number changed. I don’t know where she is.  I need you to find someone else.  Who?  Amaka Nwosu. My son has been looking for her. Please, do you know Amaka Nwosu? She moved from around here some time ago.

For the first time I understood how helpless Chima must have felt searching for her.  Amaka! Someone help me!  [sighs and gasps]  She collapsed outside a pharmacy.  How far along is she?  I don’t know. Please, help her. We’re taking her in now.  She is exhausted and dehydrated.  And the baby?  The babies are fine.

 Babies?  Yes. She is carrying triplets. Triplets? Amaka, who is their father? Chima. Chima doesn’t know? No. Why? I sent him away. I couldn’t use these babies to drag him back. I owe you an apology. Ma.  [sighs and gasps]  We judged you because you did not come from our world. We were wrong. We thought status mattered more than character.

We helped break you and Chima apart. I also told him to leave. Because we made you believe you were the problem. Please don’t tell Chima. Amaka, these are his children. I know. Just give me a little time. I will not tell him tonight. Thank you. But you cannot face this pregnancy alone anymore. That part is not negotiable.

Ma, please. I will pay. No. I don’t want charity. This is not charity. Let me help. Good afternoon, Ma. Good afternoon. I came because Amaka needs more rest and support. She has carried too much alone. I have a small private property that is empty. Please stay there until the babies arrive.

 Ma, you have already done enough. Let me correct some of what I did wrong. What do you want from me? Nothing. And Chima? He will know when you decide he should know. Stay as long as you need. God bless you. Thank you, Mama. Grace. You can call me Grace. That one is strong. I think that is one of the boys. Three grandchildren. You still sound shocked.

 The more I knew Amaka, the more ashamed I became that I’d once Sit down. It is only clothes. You are carrying three human beings. You have become very bossy. For your own good.  Where have you been?  Out.  You are always out these days.  Since when did I start reporting to you? Mama, I can barely breathe. The doctor said you must rest.

These children have turned my body into their house. Amaka. Mama, something is happening. Sit. I am calling Grace.  [sighs] [gasps]  She is carrying triplets. Please hurry. We’re here. Open the door. Amaka. The babies are coming. No. Yes. We are preparing immediately.  [gasps and sighs]  I’m scared. You are not alone.

I wish Chima was here. Two boys and one girl. Are they okay? They are here. They are doing well.  [gasps]  My babies. All three of you. I had never felt so much love and so much fear at the same time.  Mom.  Chima, I need you to come to the hospital.  What happened?  Please, just come.  [sighs]  Mom, what happened? Something in her voice terrified me.

Mom, what is going on?  There is someone you need to see.  Who?  Amaka.  Amaka is here?  Yes.  Is she okay?  She is safe.  Amaka.  Chima.  Are they ours?  Yes, your sons and daughter.  Whose babies are these?  Yours.  Mine?  [sighs] [crying and laughter]  I have three children.  Two boys and a girl.

 How long have you known?  [crying]  Mom knew?  She only found out recently.  And both of you decided I should not know?  Chima. Don’t blame your mother. I asked her not to tell you.  Why would you do that to me?  I was afraid you would come back only because of the babies.  You could leave me.

You could be angry with me.  But they were my children, too.  I know. I’m sorry. She is so small.  She is your daughter.  My daughter. For one moment, every argument disappeared. I was holding a piece of both of us. This is one of my boys.  Your first son.  Hello, little man. And you are number two.  Don’t let him hear you calling him that when he grows up.

 Noted.  [laughter]  Whatever happens between you and me, I will be here for them.  I know.  Every day, Amaka.  David, Chima has children.  What?  Three.  Three children? [music] Who is the mother? Amaka. Amaka?  Two boys and one girl. She carried those babies while working and struggling. Chima did not even know.

 Why?  Because she believed she was ruining his life, and we were the ones who made her believe it.  For once, I did not know what I was going to say. These are all Chima’s?  Yes, sir.  Three. Amaka.  Sir.  I owe you an apology. I judged you by what your family did not have.

 I ignored the kind of person you are.  I was wrong.  My son chose well.  Would you like to explain these? Where did you get those?  Answer the question.  He is just a family employee.  You told him you loved him.  You were spying on me?  Did you lie to this family? Who is he?  Daniel. Mr. Eze’s driver.  You are in love with your father’s driver?  Yes.

I love him. I never loved Cheema.  Then why agree to marry me?  [music]  Our fathers wanted the marriage. I thought I could live with it.  While loving someone else?  You were doing the same thing.  What is this nonsense?  Dad.  You are embarrassing me over a driver?  She loves him.  Young people make mistakes.

 The marriage can still happen.  No.  I was talking to your father. Cancel this marriage and our business arrangement ends. Think carefully, David.  Dad. You don’t owe me anything.  Then the business arrangement ends.  David.  I already sacrificed my son once for business. I will not do it again.  For the first time my father chose me before the company.

 There will be no wedding.  You will regret this.  The engagement should never have happened.  [music]  Sandra, we are leaving.  I’m not marrying Cheema.  We will discuss this at home.  No, Dad.  [music]  You will listen this time. I love Daniel.  He is a driver.  He is a man. And I choose him.

 What happened?  The wedding is off.  Sandra.  I chose us.  Good morning.  You came early.  I said I would be here. Maybe this is our second chance.  For the children, yes. But the babies don’t fix us, Chima. I forgive you for testing me. But forgiveness is not trust. I was pregnant and afraid without you.

 I know. Then I won’t ask you to take me back. I will earn whatever comes next.  Thank you.  Why is he moving so much?  He knows you are a beginner.  We will learn together.  For the first time, Chima was not trying to convince me with words. He was simply showing up. I can carry one.  No.  Chima.

 Doctor said rest. I heard her clearly.  Are you sure you know what you are doing?  No. But I’m learning.  [crying]  Sit.  I can help.  You have been helping for 9 months.  [crying]  You should wake me.  You need sleep.  So do you.  We can both be tired tomorrow. They are doing well.  What should we watch for?  Feeding, temperature, and breathing.

He did not send an assistant. He came himself.  His temperature is high.  [crying]  We’re going to the hospital.  Chima.  Now.  [crying]  You can go home.  He is my home, too.  He was becoming the father I had hoped he would be.  Chima told me you wanted your own shop.  One day.  Why not now? Take the money and start properly.

 I can’t.  Why?  I will not take a handout.  Make it a loan.  A loan?  With repayment terms. Deal.  For years, I had dreamed of owning a shop. Now I finally had a door with my own key. What do you think?  I think I can make this work.  Then it is yours.  Ours until I finish repaying that loan.

 Congratulations.  Thank you.  How does it feel?  Terrifying. And good.  It would look nice here.  It is a provision shop, Grace.  Provision shops can be beautiful.  Not on my budget.  Good morning. Are you open?  Yes, we are open. It was small, but it was mine. You don’t have to buy something.

 I am supporting a local business.  That will be 1 pound. No family discount.  Very strict owner.  We need immediate savings. How many positions? Hundreds, [music] if necessary. Labor is our biggest controllable cost. Those are not just labor costs. Then what are they? Families. Freeze executive bonuses.

 Sell unused luxury assets. Temporary pay cuts for senior management. Including you? Start with me. Sell the unused executive cars. Cut premium travel and private memberships. Those savings will not be enough. Then we keep cutting from the top. You cannot expect directors to take a 30% pay cut. But you expect a cleaner to lose 100% of her salary? I will put my own money into the company.

 How much? Enough to protect another group of jobs. You are serious. Completely.  My children’s fees are due.  I have rent next month. I had heard these same fears on the road. This saves most of the jobs. And if revenue does not recover? Then we review again. Well, people should be the last cut, not the first. We used Chima’s plan. David.

That is my decision. There will still be difficult changes. But the planned mass layoffs have been canceled.  Sir, thank you.  You don’t need to thank me.  You saved more than my job. You saved my family’s income.  I hated that bus driver experiment. I know. But driving that bus taught you something this office never taught me.

People are not numbers.  That was Chima’s plan. He protected the workers. He fought everyone in that boardroom to do it. The bus really changed him. Maybe I can wait and see whether his change would last. You managed all three alone.  Barely.  And you survived.  Ask me again after feeding time.  You know these are your children’s things.

 [music]  And this is your business.  So you are paying?  Full price.  The old Chima would have tried to solve everything with money. This Chima would have  Do you want me to drive you home?  I think I want to walk alone today.  Okay.  Chima.  Yes.  Would you like to have dinner with me?  As parents?  As Chima and Amaka.

 I’d love that.  This feels strange.  Very.  We have three children together and somehow this feels like a first date.  Maybe it is.  One rule.  Name it.  No lies. No tests.  No family pressure.  Deal.  Deal.  Why are you staring?  I missed that.  My laugh.  You being happy around me.  I am starting to trust you again.

 Starting is enough.  Don’t make me regret it.  I won’t.  Let’s try again.  Slowly?  Slowly.  No tests.  You better not.  This time she was not passing a test. She was choosing me.  [crying]  She has you completely under control.  She is the only woman allowed to.  We used to make everything complicated.

 Mostly me.  Mostly you. For the first time peace with Chima did not feel temporary.  Need help?  Yes.  Finally.  Take your children and stay out of my stock room.  All right. All right.  Chima.  Mhm.  I’m happy again.  That means everything. I want to ask her again.  Are you sure she is ready?  I don’t know.

That is why she is allowed to say no.  Why are you so quiet [music] tonight?  I’m thinking. The first time I loved you, I tested you. The second time, I learned to trust you. You never had to prove your love to me. I was the one who needed to become worthy of yours. Amaka Nwosu, will you marry me? Not because of our children, because you still choose me.

 Yes, [music] Chima. I choose you. I am not saying yes because we have children.  I know.  I’m saying yes because I trust you again. Yes, Chima.  [music]  Amaka. I said yes. To Chima. To Chima. Your father would [music] have been so proud.  I wish he was here.  He raised a good [music] daughter. That is what matters.

Please, you should choose what represents your family.  You are asking me?  [music]  It is your daughter’s wedding, too.  [screaming]  Enjoy your day, my daughter.  I will, Mama.  [music]  I found my husband.  You took your time.  [cheering]  May your home know peace.  May love remain when money comes and goes. Amen.

 [music]  Amen.  We really made it here.  After doing almost everything the hard way.  Mostly you.  I know.  [music]  Take care of each other.  I will, [music] Mom. I have a board meeting in 30 minutes.  Your daughter does not care.  Clearly.  [crying]  A company should not only care about workers when they are productive.

 What are you proposing?  Support when life happens. Most management people only come here when something goes wrong. Then management has been doing it wrong.  Tell me what needs changing.  The long shifts, sir, and emergency family expenses.  Which one is cheaper? This one will still do the job well.

Thank you, my daughter. Success meant more to me when I could still understand the person counting every naira. You know I never planned to chase you for this money. And you know I always planned to repay it. Very stubborn girl. Businesswoman.  I once sat behind the wheel of a commercial bus. I thought I was testing love.

Instead, [music] the road taught me how hard ordinary people fight to survive.  We will help with hospital bills, school fees, emergency support for widows and struggling mothers, and help for transport workers when life suddenly becomes too heavy. I didn’t know where else to go. You came to the right place.

God bless you. Just take care of your child. What are you thinking?  That I thought I became a driver to test you.  And?  Maybe life over faith my brain saw people and led me back to the woman I almost lost.  The little shop I once dreamed about became bigger than I imagined.  Madam, the second delivery has arrived.

 Perfect. Check everything before signing. You still work on the shop floor?  Always.  Final payment. You really repaid every penny. I told you I would. I should have known better than to doubt you.  If a policy affects you, you should have a voice in it.  Even junior staff?  Especially junior staff.

My son had learned leadership somewhere no business school could have taught him. You remember how all this started? With you finding me the worst boss in Lagos. You asked for ordinary.  He got more than he asked for.  Here is the funding for your repairs.  He can stay in school.  Yes.  Thank you, Ma.

 Just promise us you will study hard.  Daddy, they are cheating.  How can both of them be cheating?  Because they are boys.  [laughter]  Again, Grandpa.  Chairman Okafor, what happened to your dignity?  [music]  I retired for my grandchildren. My back disagrees.  Again.  All right, one more time.

 Daddy, you drove this?  Yes.  But it is old.  That old bus is the reason all three of you are here. Would you ever do that experiment again?  Never.  Good answer.  I already found what I was looking for.  Hello and welcome back to Lisa Tails. Today, I have a special story for you.
