take at least three months before any freedom can take place)
Wemimo and Shehu opens their mouth
in shock
WEMIMO

Wemimo
looks frustrated as Oga Tailor continues to cuts the cloth like he is
unconcerned
WEMIMO
Oga Tailor,

Tailor, Shehu is also your son, please let negotiate)
OGA TAILOR

Wemimo looks pissed as he calls
Aperry in a loud voice
WEMIMO
Aperry!
Oga Tailor looks up in fright
OGA TAILOR

Apery walks
in majestically with his boys carrying their sticks. Fear engulfs Oga Tailor as he sees Aperry come in
OGA TAILOR

here Aperry, I have paid my dues?)
Wemimo points to the big mirror on
the wall
WEMIMO

Apery
collect a stick from one of his boys and hits the big mirror with it. Oga

Wemimo turns to Aperry

OGA TAILOR

Apery looks confused
APERRY

needle is, that is where is called the presser foot)
OGA TAILOR
Mo to gbo (Okay)
WEMIMO

Oga Tailor
brings another list from the hard cover book and gives it to Wemimo. Wemimo
smiles when he gets the list
WEMIMO
Ni ojo

days)
OGA TAILOR

chairman of the association of tailors in Moniya which means when you call the
members of the association, they will come. You will see us in two days)
Wemimo puts
his hand around Shehu and they both walk out of the shop while Aperry and his
boys walks behind them
Outside,
Wemimo gives the list to Shehu
WEMIMO
Go to the
shop and give this list to Aunty Bebii, she is in charge of it
Shehu nods
WEMIMO
Also, Bintu
will take you to the market where you will get your cloth and your grandma’s for the occasion. When you get back, I need you to finish the client’s
cloth you are sewing presently and focus on making your cloth and your
grandma’s
Shehu nods with tears in his eyes
SHEHU
Te…te…thank
you
WEMIMO
Why are you
crying? You are going to be a free tailor, free to progress, free to do
whatever you want, I just hope you will keep working for me
Shehu nods
WEMIMO
Now go,
Bintu and Aunty Bebii is waiting for you
Shehu leaves as Wemimo turns to
Aperry
WEMIMO

Aperry
APERRY

come to the party with your boys
APERRY

will be here
They both shake hands and disperse
their separate ways
