Goat Lover

"The Hypocritical Preacher" is a wickedly dark Igbo comedy that exposes the rotten soul behind the white collar. Ukpabi, self-anointed "man of God", spits hellfire at a woman on the street, terrorizes poor Amandi with prophecies of doom, then staggers into a bar to drink palm wine like water and chase Chikito with lines like “the Spirit gave me liberty.” His eyes light up even brighter when he spots heavily pregnant Maria—he actually tells his Chief friend that pregnancy makes women sexier, then corners her on a lonely path begging to be her "boyfriend." When his old friend Adolphus and son Sampson default on a loan, he smells blood and demands their ancestral land. Mercy? Never heard of it. Desperate to seal the theft forever, Ukpabi sheds the last of his Christian mask and visits a native doctor for He gives the charm to his lazy, fearful son Osondu with strict orders: bury it at Adolphus’s gate at midnight.
