BACK TO PRESENT
INT. INSIDE MARCOPOLO- MORNING
Remilekun looks away from the window when they are being stopped at a checkpoint with about seven soldiers patrolling the checkpoint. The driver goes out to attend to them. After seven minutes, Cece looks up from her laptop, drops her laptop and walks to the front. She sees the driver talking to the soldiers.
OBA-ABASS
Is there a problem?
Oba-Abass walks towards her
CECE
Don’t you think this is taking too long?
FEMI
Soldier checking papers takes longer than this sometimes
CECE
But I don’t have the time to wait
FEMI
But what else can you do if not wait
OBA-ABASS
What do you want to do?
CECE
I think I will go out and check thing out, maybe tell them to hurry things up
FEMI
(chuckles) you want to tell soldiers to hurry things up
CECE
I won’t put it in that exact way, I am not a fool. I will just check the reason for the delay
OBA-ABASS
I will go with you
CECE
I can handle the situation
OBA-ABASS
I know you can but these are Nigerian soldiers, you don’t know what might happen
CECE
Fine
Femi watch as Cece and Oba-Abass goes out of the Marco Polo to talk the soldiers. He watch them as they talk to the soldiers calmly. About a minute later, he hears Cece talking at the top of her voice, looking so angry
FLASHBACK-FEMI-TWO YEARS AGO
INT. HOSPITAL-NOON
Femi sits in an office waiting patiently when the door opens and Dr OKAFOR walks in with a document. Dr Okafor is a short, fair, chubby woman in her fifties. She sits opposite Femi
FEMI
So when do we start the trial?
Dr OKAFOR
I am sorry Dr Aminu but you are not qualified for the trial
Femi looks surprise
FEMI
But why?
Dr OKAFOR
The test done on your semen shows you are negative for low sperm count
FEMI
What? how is that possible? The test I did years ago shows that I have low sperm count
Dr OKAFOR
Well the test I conducted three times shows you are negative. To be sure of my test, I sent it to another lab for second opinion, the result is the same. Your sperm count is like every normal man
Femi smiles brightly
FEMI
That means I am cured
Dr OKAFOR
Not exactly because you never had low sperm count, your sperm lost its ability to penetrate woman’s egg
FEMI
What?
Dr OKAFOR
Have you ever taken any substance that list gandarusa as part of its make up?
FEMI
You think that is the cause?
Dr OKAFOR
Yes
FEMI
Why will I use that when there are other family planning method?
Dr OKAFOR
That is the only known cause of your situation Dr Aminu. Gandarusa has no side effect but I think the reason why it is permanent might be because you used it for a long time
FEMI
I did a lot of test that confirmed that I have low sperm count
Dr OKAFOR
There might be clinical errors
FEMI
Can there be clinical errors multiple times?
Dr OKAFOR
I don’t know what to say to you Dr Aminu, if you don’t believe me, you can have yourself checked again in a different lab and I strongly advise against using the same lab you used the first time
Femi stands up and stretches his hand to Dr Okafor
FEMI
Thank you
Dr OKAFOR
You are welcome
