Recap (episode of J.D on the 1st January, 2017).

Adaku was seen discussing with Jenifer, telling her that aunty sunbo is supposed to be paying them 100 pounds as per the cleaning job. Jenifer carefully replied her, “Adaku, we should be grateful that she is paying us 10pounds and her even feeding us”.

Adaku’s Jamaican boyfriend was beating Collins for the reason that he was responsible for the constant harassment and extortion of Jenifer and Adaku by a fake cop.

Jenifer: Is it because we are JJC in lomdom, that’s why you are du pe us.

Collins: Noo, I was…I was just (he was beating by Adaku’s boyfriend)

Jenifer: Easy (talking to Adaku”s boyfriend)

Collins: Jenifer, abeg, no let am kill me, abeg.

Jenifer: Ehn, you dey speak pigin (pidgin), (Collins spoke in Yoruba). Ah otun gbo Yoruba, so you are a predentionding person (i.e. you are pretending).

Adaku’s boyfriend: Eh! Yo!!! You have two options, you either give out their money or I will damn you (kill you).

Jenifer: No, easy. We go carry all the money, na karma dey happen to you, this is repercussan (repercussion) of thieving.

Adaku: All this eyinbo (grammar) don do, let’s go.

Waheed was having a tutorial, with him were the daughter of his military cousin and their tutor. The girl was reading from her textbook while the two watch.

Tutor: Waheed, take this and read (waheed took the book)

Waheed: Ehn, I yamu.

Tutor: What is I yamu.

Waheed: Ehn, Nti be nbe na ni, I yamu (that’s exactly what is there)

Tutor: No, it is not I yamu but I am, now correct yourself.

As he was about to do that, his phone rang (it was a call from Adigun). Adigun told him he is coming to Lagos soon but the tutor collected the phone from waheed and end the call.

Jenifer, Adaku and her boyfriend were having a nice time at a restaurant. Jenifer was trying to learn some Jamaican slang from Adaku’s boyfriend. Adaku decided to other for more chicken, Jenifer cautioned her to be careful in spending but Adaku refused, she claimed they have seen enough money to pay Sharon, so she want to spend the rest of the money.

Jenifer was making aunty Sunbo’s hair while Adaku was doing the pedicure. Adaku told her the price of pedicure in Lagos but because of her kindness, she should just bless them. Aunty sunbo told her she likes money too much and hope it does not get her into trouble. Jenifer said they are doing all of that for love so as to stop to conversation. Again, Adaku suggested their room be changed to a bigger size as the one they use currently is small, her suggestion was discarded and was tagged a complainer by aunty sunbo. Collins came in holding his neck, aunty sunbo asked him what was wrong, “it is a minor incident”, he replied (Adaku laughed). Aunty sunbo asked her why she laughed but Jenifer distracted her, she told Collins he will be working with Adaku while Jenifer will be away with her. Adaku complained but she was turned down.

Adaku was lamenting in the room over aunty sunbo’s decision.

Adaku: Abeg this your aunty na real yeye person she be, why she go send us to work anyhow. Is she paying for the hairdo and pedicure, no be cleaning be our job.

Jenifer: Everything is a matter of a while ah ah! If child no crawl how the child want to walk.

Adaku: Madam Adage, abeg make I hear word, this your aunty na definition of wickedness, she and madam Tina, they be complete wickedness.

Jenifer: Adaku, no talk that kind thing, he bad oo.

Adaku: Why you no go talk like that sebi all of una na Yoruba together, ngbati ngbati

Association.

Jenifer: You are a tribalism girl, ngbati ngbati, you too omo una. Woo how we go plan am go give eh! Sharon the money for the passport.

Adaku: Which area your aunty say make you go work self.

Jenifer: I no know the area oo, I go ask for the toast code so I go use it to find my way.

Adaku: Eh! Eh! Jenifer, toast code, you go soon see toaster code, na post code they dey call am.

Jenifer: I heard you, dictionary clap for yourself, you wey you sabi everything.

Coliins and Adaku went to work at a client hosuse, the client complained over a missing envelope and requested for immediate search by whosoever worked in the room, Collins told him it was Adaku but he brought the envelope out of his pocket and placed it under a dustbin Adaku was initially carrying before she left for the search. Jenifer has finished making aunty sunbo sister’s hair, and she loved it. She advised Jenifer to start her own beauty salon but this did not go well with aunty sunbo as she is not ready to let her go yet. Waheed was taken to a barber’s shop by his military cousin to be an apprentice. At the completion of the job Adaku called Jenifer, told her how Collins embarrassed her and where to meet so as to pay Sharon off. Jenifer got on a black cab to catch up with Adaku believing it is not going to be expensive, while in the cab Toyosi called her but she refused to pick the call. When the cab stopped, she alighted and asked for the price, then the driver said it is 70 pounds, she was startled as she does have that kind of money, finally she ran away. The driver got down from the vehicle ready for a pursuit…

Till next week…stay tuned.
