The Girl with the Louding Voice

As Big Madam plans a lavish party for the Wellington Road Wives Association, Adunni must work harder than ever to prepare the house. A cow is brought to the compound, ready to be killed and barbequed. Kofi criticizes the Wellington Road Wives Association for being a group of out-of-touch, corrupt rich people who get drunk while pretending to raise money for charity. Kofi criticizes Nigerian politics, but Adunni notes that he is quick to take Nigerians’ money to fund a building project back in Ghana.

In a newspaper, Adunni reads an article about charity education program for female domestic workers. To apply, Adunni must fill out a form, write an essay, and include a reference from a guarantor. Meanwhile, Kofi is worried that Big Daddy might harm Adunni, who is the same age as Kofi’s daughter, and he suspects foul play surrounding Rebecca’s disappearance. Later that night, Adunni discovers a string of beads hidden in her room and wonders whether they belonged to Rebecca. 

The compound is busy as the party guests arrive. Kofi enlists Adunni to serve the food, giving her a tray and telling her not to talk to anyone.
