AI Summary
Richard arrives home to surprise his mother, who was expecting him next week. His mother is delighted and has prepared his favorite soup. She mentions that she's found a wife for him, a girl named Amaka from their village, and has already sent money for her to come to the city. Richard, however, reveals he has a girlfriend named Shirley, whom he loves and plans to marry.
His mother dismisses Shirley as a "Lagos girl" and insists that Amaka is "wife material," well-brought-up, and innocent. Richard tries to explain that Shirley is different and that he won't abandon someone he loves for someone his mother picked. He's tired of the constant talk about Amaka. His mother, however, is convinced that Amaka will make his cold room warm and that he will like her once he meets her. Richard reiterates his love for Shirley and leaves, asking his mother to check for fish at the market.
Later, Richard proposes to Shirley, who tearfully accepts. They plan to celebrate. Meanwhile, Amaka arrives at Richard's house, overwhelmed by its beauty and calling it "paradise" compared to her village. Richard's mother welcomes her warmly, calling her "my son's wife."
Richard returns home drunk with Shirley. His mother is surprised to see Shirley and asks if Richard has been drinking. Richard tries to take Shirley upstairs, but she's too drunk and struggles to walk. Amaka, witnessing this, immediately calls Richard "Papy" and tries to help, expressing concern that Richard is bringing "another woman" into their "mimony home." Shirley, in her drunken state, is loud and disrespectful towards Amaka, calling her a "cheap prostitute." Richard's mother scolds Shirley for her behavior and for insulting Amaka.
The next morning, Richard wakes up to find Amaka in his bed, claiming they "did what husband and wife do" and that she "satisfied his manhood." Richard is horrified, stating he doesn't know her and was drunk, accusing her of taking advantage of him. Amaka insists he loved her and made promises. Richard's mother enters, and Richard confronts her about Amaka being in his bed, emphasizing that Amaka is not his wife. His mother insists Amaka is his wife and dismisses Richard's concerns, suggesting Amaka just needs a "little touch here and there" and to be "packaged well."
Richard vehemently refuses to marry Amaka, insisting he has a fiancée, Shirley. His mother, however, continues to disparage "Lagos girls" and idealize Amaka, calling her a "vegetable" and urging Richard to "train her" to be what he wants. Richard compares this to buying a car that needs everything fixed, stating Amaka is not for him. His mother begs him to give Amaka two months, promising that if he still doesn't like her after that, she will send Amaka back to the village.
At breakfast, Amaka burps loudly, which she claims is "evidence of good food" in her village. Richard is disgusted by her table manners and lack of hygiene, losing his appetite. His mother defends Amaka's "naturalness" and "organic" nature, contrasting it with "pretending" Lagos girls. Amaka then tries to feed Richard, leading to more discomfort.
Richard's mother takes Amaka shopping to change her wardrobe, hoping it will make Richard notice her. Amaka is confused by the English terms but excited about the new clothes.
Shirley calls Richard, expressing her discomfort with Amaka staying in the house for two months as his "wife." Richard reassures her that his mother can't force him to marry anyone and that he loves Shirley. He plans to introduce Shirley to his mother to show his seriousness.
Shirley arrives at the house, and Amaka immediately confronts her, calling her a "slange woman" and accusing her of trying to steal her "husband." Richard apologizes for Amaka's behavior and introduces Shirley as his fiancée. Richard's mother is furious and pulls Richard aside for a private conversation.
Richard's mother reminds him of their agreement to give Amaka a chance. Richard argues that Shirley supported him when he was broke in the US, while his mother accuses Lagos girls of cheating. Richard defends Shirley, but his mother continues to insult Shirley's appearance and calls her a "mini prostitute." She insists Richard will never marry Shirley and must marry Amaka, who is "well brought up" and can be "trained."
Shirley, overhearing the insults, becomes upset and wants to leave. Richard tries to calm her down and promises to fix things.
Later, Richard's mother and Amaka are discussing Richard's behavior. Amaka complains that Richard avoids her and doesn't like her. Richard's mother reassures her that he likes her in his own way and that she will make him marry Amaka.
Richard is in his room when Amaka enters, claiming she's catching a cold and needs him to hold her. Richard, visibly uncomfortable, tells her to leave and that he's not catching a cold. Amaka then tries to seduce him, claiming she knows "snake in the monkey shadow" and other styles. Richard is exasperated and tells her to stop, calling her crazy.
Amaka confides in the gate man, complaining about Richard's lack of affection and how he avoids her. The gate man, clearly attracted to Amaka, flirts with her, telling her how beautiful she is and that he would treat her like a queen.
Richard and Shirley discuss Shirley moving in to show his mother they are serious. They are excited about the prospect of starting a family.
Amaka confronts Richard again, calling him "Papy" and accusing him of bringing a "slange woman" into their "mimony home." She tells Richard's mother that Richard and Shirley are "committing adultly." Richard tries to explain that Shirley is his fiancée, but his mother is upset and asks Shirley to leave. Richard threatens to leave with Shirley if his mother forces her out. His mother then tells Shirley to leave, claiming she would rather die than see Richard marry her.
Shirley, heartbroken and humiliated, takes off her engagement ring and leaves, despite Richard's pleas. Richard's mother and Amaka celebrate.
The next morning, Richard is distraught. Amaka brings him tea, which he discovers has pepper in it. He confronts her, and she denies it. Richard's mother defends Amaka, saying she would have added "acid" if it were her. Richard's mother continues to support Amaka and insult Shirley.
Shirley's friend comes to the house and confronts Amaka for pouring water on Shirley. Amaka is unapologetic and aggressive, claiming the house is hers. Richard's mother intervenes, blaming Richard for the situation and reiterating her disapproval of "Lagos girls." She tells Shirley that she sent money to Richard when he was abroad, but that doesn't mean anything, and offers to pay Shirley back in dollars to leave Richard alone. She urges Shirley to leave the house while she's still alive.
Richard's mother continues to insult Shirley, calling her a "useless girl" and saying she would rather die than see her son marry Shirley. She throws a drink at Shirley, who leaves in tears.
Richard tries to apologize to Shirley, bringing her flowers, but she refuses to forgive him, citing the humiliation and Amaka's actions. She tells him not to contact her again. Richard is devastated.
Amaka tries to comfort Richard, but he refuses to eat the food she cooked. His mother tells him that Amaka is pregnant with his child and that he has a responsibility to marry her. Richard denies ever touching Amaka and refuses to marry her, though he says he will take responsibility for the child. His mother insists he has no choice and must go to the village to pay Amaka's bride price, threatening to bring shame upon him if he doesn't.
Amaka continues to beg for Richard's love, rolling on the floor. Richard tries to push her away, calling her crazy.
Later, the gate man, still smitten with Amaka, tells her he would treat her like a queen. Amaka reveals to him that she is pregnant and asks him to pretend to be the father to make Richard take responsibility. The gate man agrees to help her.
Richard confronts Amaka, who confesses that she lied about the pregnancy belonging to him and that he never touched her. She admits the pregnancy belongs to the gate man, Shun. Richard is furious and kicks both Amaka and the gate man out of the house.
