MADE IN NAIJA - ONLY IN NAIJA

FADE IN:

INT. HALL - DAY

A man enters the hall, looking around in confusion.

MAN

(to Anonymous)

Where is everyone?

ANONYMOUS

(shrugging)

I believe they're on their way.

MAN

(glancing at his watch)

I thought this meeting was scheduled for 9:00 a.m. It's almost 10:00 a.m., and even the organizers aren't here. Typical Nigerian lateness!

Anonymous 2 (Female) approaches him.

ANONYMOUS 2 (FEMALE)

Are you here for the program?

MAN

(defensively)

Of course, I am! Do I look like an intruder?

ANONYMOUS 2 (WOMAN)

(smirking)

You're not exactly on time yourself. You came late and are complaining about others' lateness. Everyone is complaining about the empty hall and lateness. Who will fill it if not us?

MAN

(sheepishly)

It's normal, I know it won't start exactly on time. I'll come back later.

ANONYMOUS

(advising)

I don't think that's a good idea.

MAN

(dismissively)

Forget it! You guys are too fearful.

CUT TO:

INT. HALL - TWO HOURS LATER

The man returns, begging to be let in.

MAN

(pleading)

Please, sir! I was here earlier!

SECURITY

(firmly)

Sir, you can't enter now.

Why didn't you stay behind? Do you think those who stayed are fools?

SECURITY CONTINUES...

(skeptical)

You should have thought of that earlier. This was a test by the organizers to see who's efficient. You failed. Please leave.

MAN

(urgently)

But I can't miss this 2 million naira empowerment program!

SECURITY

(firmly)

You better take your mind off it; it's already in the past. This will teach you and others a lesson. Please keep off.

The man slumps against the wall, defeated.

FADE OUT.
