At a CORNER of the BUS PARK, MR. BANJO and the SECRETARY are discussing over the running of the PARK.
BANJO
Secretary, I wan make we employ another ticket officer na wey I don commot that yeye boy wey I put honey for em mouth em say e no want.
(Secretary, I want us to employ another ticket officer now that I have finally sacked that foolish boy)
SECRETARY
Chairman, let’s not be in a hurry to do that especially now that we’ve increased the ticket fare.
BANJO
Why you talk so?
(Why did you say so?)
SECRETARY
So that we won’t arouse suspicion.
BANJO
O’ boy na one thing I no like about small boys like una wey go school, una de use grammar spoil things, tell me wetin dey, straight, you de jump around say you de speak oyibo.
(That’s the problem that I have with you young educated people, always speaking too much grammar instead of going straight to the point)
SECRETARY
Actually, what I mean is that, the drivers will definitely complain if we bring in a new person immediately to replace Jeff, you will agree with me that he’s popular among them.
BANJO
You sure say this thing wey you suggest make we do make sense so?
(Are you sure that this your suggestion will work out?)
SECRETARY
Absolutely Chairman, we’re only going to make it appear that he voluntarily resigned and pretend that we’re not in a hurry to replace him because we really want to take time and get someone like him.
BANJO
Na true 0! Now I see say, cunny (cunning) wisdom full for this your head well-well.
(That’s correct! Your head is full of cunning wisdom)
SECRETARY
Chairman, I take that as a compliment.

89. EXT. CHURCH.NIGHT.
After the MID-WEEK CHURCH SERVICE, the DUO of CAROL and JEFF stand INFRONT of the MASSIVE CHURCH AUDITORIUM discussing.
JEFF
Hope pastor’s sermon this evening ministered to you?
CAROL
Sure! It did, truly, he’s right; life without Christ is like an aircraft bound to crash.
JEFF
I seriously pray that people who’re not yet saved in this end time will come to realize that before it’s too late.
CAROL
I pray so my dear. By the way, Jeff, why didn’t you tell me all this while that you’ve lost your job?
JEFF
I’m sorry; I didn’t want to bother you, I …
CAROL
Bother me? Jeff, don’t talk like that. You are my fiancé, whatever concerns you also concern me; so, please you wouldn’t bother me if you told me.
JEFF
All right, I’m sorry, I wouldn’t behave like that again but how did you know?
CAROL
The chairman of the park told me when I went to check on you after calling your number but it was switched off earlier in the afternoon. Tell me Jeff, did you really do it?
JEFF
What are you talking about?
CAROL
He said you’re fired because you’re looting the park’s funds with reckless abandon. Is that correct?
JEFF
Wonders shall never end! Mr. Banjo that actually came to me with the proposal to rip off the struggling bus drivers by increasing their fare and I objected.
CAROL
You mean you’re fired because of your refusal to do that?
JEFF
Exactly! You remember that period you told me not to engage in any sinister activity?
CAROL
Yes, yes, I do.
JEFF
That’s exactly the time he wanted me to help him achieve his evil plan.
CAROL
Men!
There’s no limit to what they can do because of money, my friend, Lola was recently fired too for almost the same reason.
JEFF
Too bad! What a pity.
CAROL
I believe the good Lord is a God of justice; he will definitely vindicate you two.
JEFF
Amen!
…to be continued.
