There will be cars, new goods, a modern park, newspapers, and cocktail parties. Lakunle boasts that in a few years the whole village will be transformed. She responds that he wants to get rid of that. Sadiku asks if he has paid the bride-price for her and he tells her to mind her own business. Lakunle begs them not to torment the man, and warns that he may turn violent against her.Īfter Sidi leaves, Sadiku scoffs at Lakunle that it is absurd to think he can have a girl like that. Sadiku is excited by this, and tells her to look bashful and repentant. Sidi suddenly says she has an idea: she will go to the palace for the supper Baroka invited her to, and then she will delight in thwarting him because he cannot have her anymore. Sadiku’s jokes clue him in, and he is shocked. Lakunle hears them and comes over, asking what they are talking about. When Sidi hears what happened regarding Baroka’s virility, she also laughs uproariously. She notices Sidi and tells her about this battle that has been won. She exults that women have taken down the mighty Lion. It is a small statue of the Bale, and she begins to laugh at it. Sadiku furtively carries in a bundle and takes an object out of it. Sidi is standing and admiring her photos as before.
