Then he met a young lady called Tope{Iyabo Ojo} with whom he falls in love with and plans to marry but she pesters him for her to see his parents but her pleas falls on deaf ears,then she walks out for her to discover that she is pregnant with his baby and he was told.

FINALE:
The movie was done with precision and careful planning. I also was placed in temporary suspense in the beginning part of the film about the supposed mystery of Wole’s existence. The film is indeed a masterpiece.
