Nganù

‪Don't kill me.

‪- ‪The palm fruit is not yet ripe ‪- ‪Palm fruit, hey

‪What kind of thing is that?

Please don't kill me.

This is the last time you talk back at me.

The next time you try it again, I'll kill you.

You can't go anywhere.

You don't have a family. You are a witch.

You're a witch! You have cursed me.

That's why nothing is moving in my life.

Useless woman!

This is the very last time you raise your voice at me.

I wouldn't repeat myself again. You understand?

Worthless woman.

‪My belly.

‪please help me.

‪Please help me.

Come here.

Take this money.

Rush and buy weed.

I spat on the ground,

come back before it's dry.

Go!

I need a six. Six on the Ludo!

These little boys.

You guys came to my hood, hoping to win my money.

I need another six.

Damn, old man.

Old man.

I wouldn't let you win all my money.

I am just getting started.

I command another six.

‪-Yes! ‪-Yes!

‪-Yes, get it. ‪-Take it away.

‪-Eh? ‪-What?

You used to be very dull in school.

Now, you are very dull with the game as well.

You're definitely the dullest man on earth.

Go home.

I need to win your money

and raise more capital for my business.

When it's about beating a woman, you are the champion.

When it comes to fighting everyone, you are the champion.

You woman beater.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Are you not a woman beater?

Take a look at your wife's face.

She has wounds all over her face.

Checkmate!

I think you're cursed and possessed.

No, Nganu.

Nganu, please don't do it.

- Please, Nganu. - Nganu.

- Please, let it go. - Don't do it, Nganu.

Let it go. Please.

- Nganu please, we're begging. - Don't do it.

‪Stand back, come on.

Useless man. You're cursed.

You're cursed.

Useless man. Come and fight me.

Useless woman!

Nganu's father, please I can't breathe.

‪You're crazy.

Take a look at Nganu. You gave me a useless son.

Please, don't kill me.

- Meukeuna, what do you want? - Razor blade.

Play your game, quickly.

I'm not your enemy.

Did I say so?

Who did this nonsense on my trousers?

I'm talking and you're staring at me?

Do I look like a statue?

My eyes. I can't see.

Now who did that nonsense on my trousers?

- Who? - I did it.

What did you say?

I'm the one who sewed your trousers.

The next time you touch my trousers again,

I will skin you alive. You hear me?

Leave.

Leave this place. I said, leave.

When you look at yourself,

what comes to your mind?

Do you know what I see?

I see a shadow.

I see a man who needs to put his life together,

if not, your life will be wasted just like your father.

Amongst all of us in this community,

you are the only one who beats his wife.

Old man.

This is the very last time you talk to me and mention my family.

The next time you talk about my family,

I will shave you and smoke your beard.

Do you understand?

This is my last warning.

Useless man.

- What are you doing here? - Nothing, Dad.

Take, go and by me weed.

- Open your legs. - Please leave me.

I don't want to have sex today, I don't feel okay.

Are you out of your mind?

What do you mean, you can't have sex?

I'm on my period.

Does it matter if you are on your period?

- Open your legs. - Leave me alone.

You won't have sex with me today. Leave me.

Are you going to stop this?

- I can't breathe. - You fool. This belongs to me.

I own your body. Spread your legs.

This is the last time you deny me sex.

Do you understand?

Do you understand? This is the very last time.

Dirty woman.

Foolish woman.

Mbusi, good afternoon.

- Good afternoon, how are you? - I am fine.

You guys need to play faster. Others need to play too.

I want to buy a rope.

Meukeuna. What happened to your face?

Nothing. I'm fine.

If you continue like this, Nganu will kill you.

Please give me the rope, let me go. I don't want Nganu to meet me here. Take it.

Come inside, let me give you some rice.

Don't be scared. Come inside.

What did you do to Nganu that he beats you like a snake?

Even if I have to run, where do I run to?

I don't have a mother.

I also don't have a father.

Not even a family member.

So just because you are married to Nganu,

and you don't have a family member,

then he has to treat you like this?

We are not married.

You guys are not married?

You guys are not married?

Please give me the rice, let me go.

Meukeuna. Run away from that house before Nganu kills you.

Nganu almost killed me here the other day.

Run away, if not he will kill you.

This is a checkers competition, not a weed competition.

Play.

You think this is where you will win money

you'll use to pay Meukeuna's bride price?

If that is what you are banking on, then you will never get married to her.

Nganu! Nganu, please stop.

‪Nganu, calm down.

This nonsense has to end today.

- You will kill me. - Yes, you will die.

‪Don't kill me!

- You shared our secrets with strangers? - Kum's father, what have I done?

- How dare you share our secrets? - Kum's father, I didn't do anything.

‪-Get over there! ‪-I didn't do anything.

‪Don't kill me!

‪-You'll see. ‪-Don't kill me!

‪-You share our secrets?! ‪-Don't kill me.

‪-How dare you share our secrets? ‪-No, I didn't.

‪-You told him? ‪-Kum's father, please.

‪Listen to me!

You can't keep a simple secret?

‪-Help me! ‪-Shut up, there!

- Kum's father, please. - I'll kill you.

‪-You will kill me. ‪-Yes, I will kill you.

‪Kum's father, please.

Kum's father, you will kill me.

- Yes, I told you, I will kill you. - You will kill me.

‪-Please. ‪-What did you say?

‪Yes. I'll kill you.

‪-Kum's father. ‪-Shut up. Do you understand me?

Do you understand me?

This is your last chance. Dirty woman.

‪You're a witch!

‪Leave this place!

Come here.

I said, you should come here.

Rush and buy me weed.

You guys need to listen to this news.

Listen to this news.

- What happened? - Just listen.

Listen.

Listen.

So, inform all those your useless kids

who spend time fighting in this village,

let them join the military

they should go to the North and fight Boko Haram.

They should go and serve the country.

- Go to defend our flag. - Play the game.

‪Continue playing the game.

‪Yes.

‪Play the game.

‪Wow.

‪What is this dull man playing?

- Pay him. - Dull man.

I just heard something on the news that might be of help to you.

The government is looking for people like you who like fighting,

to join the military and go fight Boko Haram,

instead of fighting with people in the village.

All you are good at is to beat your woman

and fight with everyone in the village.

This is an opportunity to show us how strong you are. Go to the North.

Go write an application. You could help by joining in the Cameroon military.
