It all opens with a display of houses in a ghetto some where in Nigeria. The ground  is as polluted as a swamp, stagnant waters every where and plastic waste floating all over.  children are running around with out any cloths on,looking hungry but vibrant and happy. Then light fades and opens in a crappy looking house. The wall is painted blue with the cheapest paint that money can buy, all wet and washed as a result of waters from the leaking roof. the chairs are red in color made out of cheep cotton and worn out wood. Seated on the worn out chair are to married couples Sky and Sunny, the wife of sky .

Sunny smiles at sky who has been frowning for hours Sweet heart why is your face like this now? {song in Nigerian English}  why u dey do like say u no sabi your God. Sky on a high note screams Fuck God, is he seeing the mess we are in? He may exist but its pretty obvious that we are not relevant to him.Sunny says with a sarcastic voice and a smile on her face stop being such a drama queen sky , Jesus died for the entire human race, what love could be greater than that? after ten seconds of silence sky replies saying entire human race or some sections of the human race ? He punches the wall screaming as he falls to his knees in pain.   Look at me Owo Sky, the son of Owo Benson, im living in poverty my fathers who was a very wealthy man is now dead and his wealth have been claimed by our family enemies. Now you tell me where God was when all this was happening? You know whats worst, is that we have been married since i was twenty two and still cant have a child.  Sunny with a soft voice at  list we have each other that's enough reason to thank God. As long as we have each other we would be all right.Lets not speak about this god guy any longer in this house  , its all a scam Sky says with a wrinkle on his face and force on his lips causing him to spit. sky what is happening to you? you are going the wrong way Sunny walks out of the room after making her last utterance .If this is the wrong direction, im afraid its the only direction Sky soliloquizes 

Light fades out
