Boss Ladies

At a Lagos residential compound a house agent arrives with a new tenant, a woman in a red shirt, to introduce her to three women lounging in the courtyard with food and phones. The woman in a black top reacts with hostility and demands to know why the agent greets them. He calmly reveals the seated women are the actual tenants who own the chief's cars and apartment while the black-topped woman and her companions are the new arrivals. Shocked, the black-topped woman confronts the agent for withholding the truth and he dismisses her before demanding the 20,000 Naira she owes. The woman in red counters with 10,000 and the agent storms off as a second man unloads luggage welcoming the new woman to the house. Meanwhile lawyer Tonye serves a man in traditional attire with legal papers demanding triple the owed amount and threatening suits for embezzlement defamation wrongful termination and attempted murder while insisting he sign a memorandum of understanding. At the Think Africa boutique a businesswoman in denim directs her assistant Ndidi to prepare mannequins for an upcoming fashion week specifying a need for ten tall dark-skinned models. Jogger Toye encounters Tonye on a porch and they banter about her upcoming court battle against a senior advocate representing a powerful man's son while Tonye coolly asserts she never loses. Three elegantly dressed women exit a mansion in a convoy of luxury SUVs. Inside another living room Prety in a black tank top argues fiercely with a woman in a blue jersey and a woman in a yellow shirt. The blue-jersey woman urges Prety to exploit the wealthy connected women in the compound for financial gain but Prety rejects the idea and cites her own 100,000 Instagram followers and status as a real slayer while the yellow-shirted woman affirms Prety's influence. The trio Pleezie Pretties and Cherie share lighthearted banter in a courtyard teasing each other about being a delight and jealousy.
