Synopsis

Tobi, a typical poor Nigerian child with exceptional qualifications, works as a poor school teacher. Despite graduating from university with excellent grades and a supposedly achievable degree, he is unable to succeed in life. The fact that Tobi's partner comes from a wealthy family exacerbates his situation. He is unable to join her in activities with her other wealthy coworkers because of their disparate backgrounds. [3]

When Tobi meets Obi, Kaima's older brother from primary school, he sees an opportunity to turn his life around and asks Obi to "teach him how to fish." He learns from Obi that he engages in online fraud. His mother encourages him to join Obi and Kaima. Tobi picks up the skills fast, and Obi, who departs the nation, soon puts him in control of the operation. With FAC, the law enforcement agency, breathing at their necks, Tobi is left to continue the operation. [4]
