(It's early morning, everyone is still asleep in the sitting room while Orebe hears a knock at the door, she hurries to wake her seven siblings).

Orebe:
(Whispering)
Wake up wake up, the crazy man is here, everybody wake up.

(Their parent rushes from their room to join them as they gather to discuss, whispering).

Orebe:
I guess today is his birthday so...

Wasiu:
(Interjects)
No, I think it's his wedding anniversary.

(The door gets banged violently).

Orebe:
Okay okay, immediately I open the door, we are going to wish him a happy wedding anniversary.

Bobo: I think we should sing for him.

Wasiu: that is a good idea, let's sing happy birthday remix for him.

(He bangs the door violently again)

Orebe:
Okay, are we ready?

All:
(Whispers)
Yes yes yes.

All:
(Immediately she opens the door they echo)
Happy wedding anniversary! Happy wedding anniversary, happy wedding anniversary... (Singing)

Landlord:

Keep quiet! Keep quiet, don't bribe me with that, which wife did you bestow to me? that you are wishing me a happy wedding anniversary, rubbish!

Wasiu:

Landlord:
Will you keep shut, see, I came here to inform you that even if you have my money already, which I know you don't have, I will still throw your properties out of this house tonight, so, to make it easy for my boys, please, package your things properly this morning.

Orebe:
(Pleading)
Please sir, we are sorry sir, please, give us more time, we will pay your money.

Landlord:
Orebe, it is late, I've rented this house out and the person will be packing in tomorrow, but because of God, I brought this ‘sakasaka’ (meaning: cereal sacks) for you to pack your things.

(He throws the sacks to the floor before them).

Landlord: see you tonight.

(After he left, Orebe packs the sacks, shut the door and starts to distribute them among her siblings).

Orebe:
(To Aba)
Take, use it to console yourself, at least, you've gotten something to pack your dirty boxers now.

(Everyone is sober and melancholic).

Orebe:

Mummy:

Orebe:
That is for sure mummy, it's a matter of time, I've gotten an acting contract that will change our lives forever if I do well.

Rebe:

Orebe:
Yes, all you need to do now is to pray for me so I don't Bleep up.

Aba:
