THE ADEBANJOS

chapter4 : Threats and protecting the legacy

(Scene: Adebanjo family living room. Mrs. Adebanjo, Lola, and Funke are sitting together, visibly worried.)

Mrs. Adebanjo: (concerned) Girls, we need to talk. As you know, ever since your father passed away, his family's been causing trouble about our property. They're trying to take it away from us.

Lola: (angry) How dare they? This property has been in our family for generations. It's rightfully ours!

Funke: (nervous) But, Mom, what can we do to protect ourselves and the property?

Mrs. Adebanjo: (determined) We must gather all the necessary documents and solidify our ownership legally. I have already contacted our family lawyer. He will guide us through this difficult process.

Lola: (curious) Mom, why are they suddenly so interested in our property after all these years?

Mrs. Adebanjo: (sighs) Your father always believed that one day this day would come. He had his suspicions that his family would try to claim our property once he was gone. Unfortunately, he was right.

Funke: (worried) But why are they doing this? What do they want from us?

Mrs. Adebanjo: (exasperated) It's all about money and power, my dear. Your father's family feels entitled to our property simply because they share the same bloodline. They want to control our assets and accumulate wealth. But we won't let that happen.

Lola: (determined) Mom, we stand together as one family. We won't let them take away what belongs to us.

Funke: (resolute) You're right, Lola. Our father worked tirelessly to build this property. We won't allow his hard work to be in vain.

Mrs. Adebanjo: (smiles proudly) That's the spirit, my girls. Together, we will fight for our rights and protect our legacy. We must be strong and united.

(Scene: The family lawyer's office. Mrs. Adebanjo, Lola, and Funke sit across the table from Lawyer Williams.)

Lawyer Williams: (serious) Mrs. Adebanjo, I have reviewed the documents you provided. The allegations from your late husband's family seem baseless. However, we must be prepared for any legal battle that may arise.

Mrs. Adebanjo: (confident) Lawyer Williams, we are ready to do whatever it takes to protect our property. Our father's legacy must remain intact.

Lola: (determined) We trust your expertise, Lawyer Williams. Please guide us through the legal process to ensure our victory.

Funke: (nervous) Is there anything else we can do to strengthen our case?

Lawyer Williams: (reassuring) We will conduct a thorough investigation into the land's history and ensure all documentation is up to date. We will gather strong evidence to support our claim and expose their false allegations.

Mrs. Adebanjo: (firmly) Thank you, Lawyer Williams. We appreciate your assistance and dedication to our cause. We won't allow anyone to disinherit us.

(Scene: Adebanjo family dining room. The family gathers around the table, holding hands.)

Mrs. Adebanjo: (closing her eyes) Let us pray for strength and wisdom. May our ancestors guide us through this storm and protect our family's legacy.

Lola and Funke: (in unison) Amen.

Together, the Adebanjo family prepares for the legal battle ahead. Determined to protect their late father's property and ensure his hard work isn't in vain, they stand united, ready to face whatever challenges come their way.
