Previously on Why?
MADE
Sending Aunty Bebii’s husband to Sokoto is not going to fix the problem. It is not a good plan
WEMIMO
I know that but the project will take at least a year and that will give me time to find a way to get her out of that toxic marriage
IMADE
She told you to stay out of it, for your sake, I hope it works
EPISODE 69
Your funeral
EXT. IMADE’S HOUSE-EVENING
Imade and
Wemimo sit outside the house on a bench. Imade is busy marking some student’s
scripts while Wemimo play with Wemi. Imade sits up right, holds her back and
the back of her head
IMADE
Oh,
my back! My neck!
WEMIMO
I
don’t pity you, you did this to yourself
IMADE
How
was I suppose to know that I will become a class teacher instead of a guidance
counsellor?
WEMIMO
You
should have just done your IT in this house
IMADE
I
needed the experience
WEMIMO
And
you have it now, so enjoy the experience that does not pay you
IMADE
Stil…
She sees Bankole come into
view
WEMIMO
Bankole!
Bankole
ignores him and goes into the house. Ann who was behind Bankole walks to the
couple
IMADE
How
was it?
ANN
His
name was not on the list
IMADE
Oh
my God!
WEMIMO
We
can wait for supplementary list
IMADE
Those
are for candidate with deep pocket
ANN
I
said I will talk to my dad, he said no
IMADE
Akungba,
it is then
WEMIMO
He
won’t want to go here
IMADE
Then
what are we suppose to do? It is not our fault he didn’t make the cut off
WEMIMO
Don’t
be like Maami, it was just one mark
IMADE
Still
he didn’t make it
ANN
He
wants to wait till next year, I will help him study harder this time
IMADE
You
will be in final year then, you won’t have the time
ANN
I
will find it
IMADE
Now
how are we going to tell Maami that her son is waiting till next year when he
already has admission in another school but won’t go because he wants to go to
another?
WEMIMO
The
boy knows what he wants, we should support him
IMADE
Tell
that to Maami
WEMIMO
I will talk to her
Wemimo’s
phone rings and Wemimo picks it immediately only to hear his sister’s angry
voice
TOLANI
How
can you do this to me, Wemimo?
Wemimo looks around in
confusion
WEMIMO
What
is it, Sister?
TOLANI
Why
didn’t you tell me that the man you recommended to me has some serious anger
issues?
WEMIMO
What?
TOLANI
Don’t
play dumb, Wemimo, you must know about his issues. This man almost killed a man
on site yesterday, how can you do that to me, Wemimo?
WEMIMO
He
is an excellent contractor, I thought he will be of more use to you
professionally
TOLANI
So,
you gamble with our work, Wemimo, do you know how much we have to pay so that
this issue does not bow out of proportion
WEMIMO
I
am so sorry sister, that was not my intention
TOLANI
Don’t
be, I was the idiot who took your recommendation
WEMIMO
Sister,
I know you are angry with me but this man, where is he now?
TOLANI
How
am I suppose to know that, Wemimo?
Tolani cuts the call
WEMIMO
Fuck!
ANN
What
is it?
WEMIMO
Aunty
Bebii’s husband almost killed someone on site yesterday
ANN
What?
IMADE
I
told you… your plan was not going to work
He stands up agitated with
Wemi in his arms
WEMIMO
I
had to do something… if he was laid off yesterday, there is a chance he will be
in Ibadan today and a man like that will be very angry…. oh my God, Aunty
Bebii… Ann, what should I do?
ANN
Make
her stay here till her husband’s anger cool off
IMADE
She
is not going to agree unless Wemimo tells her the reason for it
ANN
Then
there is nothing you can do, Wemimo
WEMIMO
I
should tell her right?
ANN
After
she specifically told you to stay away from her business
WEMIMO
I
should give her the heads up. She needs to know her husband is coming back
home… possibly today
ANN
Your
funeral
WEMIMO
There
has to be something I can do
ANN
At
this point, there is nothing you can do. Aunty Bebii has to want to leave her
husband, she has to want to divorce him before you or I can intervene
There was
deafening silence but seconds later Wemimo widens his eyes he sees Aunty Bebii
standing behind Imade
WEMIMO
Aunty
Bebii!
Ann and
Imade looks behind them and they see Aunty Bebii standing, they both stand up
in fright
IMADE
You
scared me
AUNTY
BEBII
I
thought I told you to stay away from my business
Wemimo hands Wemi to Imade
WEMIMO
I
had to do something, Aunty Bebii
AUNTY
BEBII
My
husband suddenly getting a contract he didn’t apply for, was that your doing?
Wemimo looks down
AUNTY
BEBII
Does
everybody in this shop knows about my marriage?
WEMIMO
Just
myself, Ann and Imade… Aperry too
AUNTY
BEBII
Aperry?
You talked about me with Aperry
WEMIMO
He
was the one….
AUNTY
BEBII
I
am disappointed in you, Wemimo
She starts to walk away
ANN
He
is just trying to help you, you don’t have to be so hard on him
AUNTY
BEBII
I
didn’t ask for his help
ANN
Your
Mohammed Ali of a husband is coming back soon, probably today… you might want
to stay here tonight
The trio
watch Aunty Bebii go inside the house and few minutes later, she comes out of
the house with her hand bag and walk away from the house
WEMIMO
She
is going to face his wrath
Ann touches his arm to give
him comfort
ANN
Hey...
you did your best for her
Ann stretches her hand to
Imade
ANN
Bring
him
Imade hands Wemi to her. Wemi
opens his gumless teeth to Ann
ANN
Aren’t
you adorable… is Maami not selling Akara tonight?
IMADE
She
took Iya Agba to the hospital
ANN
Again?
He huffs in frustration and nods
Next on Why?
IMADE
Jesu
Kristi, oba ogo oh (Jesus Christ, King of
Glory) her husband did that?
MADAM
BABADE
Eranko
