Christmas in Miami

- Ah! - You bastard.

How are you?

- Look at where you're going. - Okay.

- Aha! - Thank you very much.

Next.

- Passport sir. - Yes.

How are you Sir?

Why is he looking like we did something wrong?

- Let him be... - What?

So, who's your younger son and who is your older son?

Doesn't it say on the passport?

You're going to have to explain.

Explain what exactly?

It's in the passport.

What kind of explanation do you need from our biological father?

Ah-ah, don't you know twins?

Dad, this guy is just trying to be difficult.

Don't you know Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito?

- Guy, please be quick. - Akpos calm down.

If you know you don't want to attend to us, let us go to another person.

- Akpos you've started. - Listen, listen.

- We came here for a purpose. - Akpos!

Listen!

Do you guys want to get on the next flight to Nigeria?

No

- It hasn't come to that. - It hasn't come to that.

I... I'm...

Look, in America you'll probably call it genetic disorder.

Okay. But for me as a parent,

Children are a gift from God. Big or small.

He always has purpose for creating us the way he did.

True, so wait...

So, this little boy is your older son?

- Yes. - And this man is your younger son?

- Absolutely. - That's how it is.

Open your eyes properly so he can see you.

- He just called you a child. - Step in front of the camera.

- Huh? - Step in front of the camera.

It seems we are cleared.

Sure.

Next.

Hey, according to your height.

- Akpos! - Akpos!

- Remove your cap. - Next.

Remove his glasses.

Open your eyes so he doesn't call you a child again.

Thank you gentlemen.

Welcome to America.

Thank you.

This Christmas, from the city of Miami,

and coming to your screens.

Six families chosen from across six diverse countries and cultures.

Will battle for a chance to take home one million dollars

by living under the same roof for one whole week.

While treating us to an awesome fiesta of cultural magnificence.

Let's meet your host for the inter-continental christmas fiesta 2021.

- - Are you guys excited?

- Yeah. - Let me hear it,

- are you guys excited? -

Okay. Ladies and gentlemen,

I present to you,

the legendary, the one and only, Mr. Larry Piper.

- Let's hear it. -

Hello everyone.

- I like it. Thank you. Thank you. -

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

First of all, I'll like to welcome you all to the inter-continental Christmas fiesta.

It is really incredible

that you all have come from so many different parts of the world.

To this amazing celebration of human diversity.

Christmas is definitely a time to celebrate what we've accomplished.

We've been through so much as a people.

We have all made it through an exceedingly difficult period.

And I guess we all can appreciate the long way we have come.

My goal is to meet as many people as possible.

People who are in love with the idea of love.

Who are positive.

People that have more time to love one another than to hate.

- Take a look at that ghost.. - Look at this people waiting

- Are these not people's bags? -

- Where is the bag going? - Akpos!

Akpos, go for your bag.

What is wrong with you?

Hey, hey.

Just take a look.

Hey! Sir.

What are you doing?

- Get down. - No, no, no!

- Come here! - No!

- Come here. - Look, it's my bag.

Sir, come, get down.

Anything that's meant to happen so be it.

- Wait, wait, wait. - No, come.

- I want to get my bag. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don't you understand? It's my bag I want to get.

- Come on. - Okay, let me make you understand.

My bag... I just want to get my bag.

- Okay, yeah we got that. - He was just trying to get his bag.

- Okay. - It's not like...

You get his bag, meet us at the office.

- Wait... - No, no, no

- You can't do this. - Wait.

- Dad, they can't do this. - Come on. come on.

This is not how you'll welcome me to America. I won't agree.

- I won't agree, I won't agree. - Akpos! Akpos!

-I won't agree. Look, - Akpos, Akpos...

You guys shouldn't do this.

I'm surprised that anyone will jump onto the carousel.

Is this your first foreign travel?

Why do you people like to underestimate people.

Please tell me, why? Ehn?

This is not the first time I'm travelling.

Look at me, I've travelled very wide and far.

I've been to Cotonou.

I've been to Puerto Rico.

I've been to Accra.

Check the atlas and you'll be surprised I've been to Atlanta as well.

I mean foreign trips like London, Paris, Rome.

Was my passport not stamped?

They're also foreign trips.

Actually sir, Paris and Rome are not countries.

Mm-hmm, look at him...

Acting like he knows it all yet he knows nothing.

Look at how he's beign corrected.

Look at how they are scattering the food we are meant to eat.

- What sort of rubbish is this? - Come with me darling.

To where?

- We're going to the kid's room. - Oh God!

-I'm not a kid - What do they want?

Oh my God but you're so cute.

We have chocolate, candy, doughnuts, everything a kid would want.

- Come with me. - What?

Sir, don't worry he's in safe hands.

- Come on. - Well, go with her.

Do you like marshmallows or chocolate cakes?

Officer, is all of this really neccessary?

I'm sorry that my son jumped on the carousel

but can you just give us a warning,

so we can go?

- They can keep this. - Oh thank you men...

Thank you.

You can't keep this.

- No, no! - You can't keep this

- Dad, stop doing this. - It's the food we're meant to eat.

Please.

- You can't keep that. - What can you do about it.

Let it go, dad.

No, no! Not this one...

- Hard drugs? - No, they are not drugs.

- How do I explain this to him? - Tell him.

Tell him that they mix it with local gin.

You see this, if you add um.

- like um... - Local gin.

Tequila. You put tequila in here,

and one shot in the morning.

- Look at me. - You'll be erect.

Your body will be at attention and firm.

Oh... Okay.

They can keep this.

- - Thank you.

Look, where I come from uh...

We say something like this in lagos.

You're the man.

Wha... wha... what does that mean?

It means that you're the shit.

- I'm the shit. - No, like Americans say

"You the shit, man"

- Oh, I'm the shit. - You're shit, man.

- You're shit, man. - Shit, shit...

I'm the shit.

- You're the shit. -

- You can't keep this shit. -

I thought...

Dad, I don't understand what is happening here.

What's happening here?

Why are they putting our things in the bin?

Akpos, please if you don't want us to go to prison,

Stop talking, please.

Which prison?

We brought the food that we will eat,

These people are putting our food in the bin.

What wrong did we do? This is oppression.

Guy, black lives matter. Think about it

Black lives matter. I agree black lives matter.

- Black lives matter. - That's right.

This doesn't matter.

Just make sure you trash everything.

This one is important.

- Ponmo. -

-So, they work together - It's a combination.

- You're shit, man. -

But you can't have this shit.

This guy is crazy.

For the next one week,

the world would see how,

how different cultures can be the same.

Sure we might come from different ethnicities and

different parts of the world, different countries.

And the one thing that keeps us from being divided and separated
