Tobi eventually persuaded Eddie to join her dance group which eventually led to an emotional connection between them. Several months had gone by and, Eddie and Tobi finally decided to get married despite the reservation of Tobi about their union. It's about 2 years since June was involved in the accident and Tobi is now pregnant with Eddie's baby when June shockingly visited their matrimonial home explaining the circumstances regarding the accident and how Dr George (Blossom Chukwujekwu) saved her.

After several power tussle events between June and Tobi, Eddie finally decided to keep both of them as wives. after some consultations made by June bwith Eddie's colleagues she decides to return to George whom she refused to heed to his romantic advances towards her.


Reception

Nollywood Reinvented gave it a 23% rating and was very critical about its unoriginal dialogues and recycled storylines it concluded by explaining that "I won’t deny that I was semi-excited about this movie when I originally heard of it. Why? Because even though I know better, a part of me still equates seeing Majid Michel’s face on a cast line-up with a guarantee for excellence and entertainment. I was wrong..."[4]

gollark: If I ever end up being transported back in time by several thousand years, I'll have a minor advantage if I can actually remember anything, happen to end up in the appropriate era for the particular dialects covered, and do not horribly butcher the pronunciation, see.
gollark: I also did very practical languages like Ancient Greek and Latin.

gollark: And yet you are in all senses a zygohistomorphic prepromorphism.
