The opening scene of the saga story depicts a rich Nigerian family, the Baloguns, enjoying a Sunday afternoon meal in the luxurious Banana Island, Lagos. Despite being a powerful player in Nigerian politics, Chief Balogun is shown to be just like an...
I lost myself inside of her I'm breathing death even though I can eat I sleep even when I'm no more I'm a man who has lost touch with reality
I traded my tears for strength My weakness in kindness My sadness for their well-being My soul for you to rest in peace
Although I found love I wanted you I found a home but I craved thy presence When we were apart I was void and empty When we were apart, I could talk but not feel

|CHIEF BALOGUN's RESIDENCE, BANANA ISLAND|
"Kate invites Hon J Bola to her Chambers"
Mrs. K BALOGUN: (She turns to the maid who is arranging her closet) Leave us.
"The maid immediately walks out of the room"
HON J BOLA: How is my precious sister doing? (He hugs Kate)
Mrs. K BALOGUN: I'm good. Have you seen Chief?
HON J BOLA: No, I haven't. (He attempts to light a cigarette)
Mrs. K BALOGUN: Why can't you let go of this dirty habit?
HON J BALOGUN: Whenever your children let go of it.
Mrs. K BALOGUN: (She turns to him) What did you say?
HON J BOLA: Nothing. I didn't say anything. You know what, fine, I give up.
Mrs. K BALOGUN: Keep up with the self-deceit. By the way, thank you for standing beside Lolade. I know going against Williams and the Party was a tough decision for you to make.
HON J BOLA: Anything for you, sister. I owe you my life and what I am today. But don't you think you should bring Lolade's awareness to your support?
Mrs. K BALOGUN: I wish I could, Bola. But it would be too much of a risk. She could snap one day and spill it to Williams, and you know what that means to me. Williams can't know I helped Lolade win the election. (Gets up from her seat)
HON J BOLA: Hmm, alright. It would have been nice if you let her know because she is getting the impression that you abandoned her as Chief did.
Mrs K BALOGUN: She doesn't have to know that I am helping her. The most important thing is that my children are happy and they get what they want. Ayo has fulfilled his longtime dream of being a governor, and I believe Lolade has found some essence of worth in her win against Williams, so case closed.
"Lolade walks into the room"
HON J BOLA: Look who is here. (He smiles at Lolade)
