Abstract: Anthony's father has been estranged from his wife Monica and her children for years. When he hears that his children are buying Monica a new car, along with gifts of rice, money and clothing, he decides that the time has come to improve his relations with his offspring. He begins by asking his wife Monica for his son Anthony's address. Because Monica knows that he has bad intentions, she refuses to give it to him. Undeterred, Anthony's father takes a taxi to Anthony's new neighborhood and eventually finds the right address. Arriving at Anthony's new home he is initially dismissed by both his son and his daughter and law, but he quickly takes control of the situation by using a magical spell to bring his children under his power. Still not satisfied, he then forces Anthony to write a letter to Monica informing her that she is no longer his mother and that she must immediately move out of the family compound. By the next day, Anthony has completely succumbed to his father's evil spells and drives to his mother's home in order to throw her out of the house she has lived in for the past thirty years.
