The Waiter

Happy-go-lucky but down-on-his-luck Akpos resumes at Crystal Hotel for a day-job as a waiter. He has been hired by a private firm as part of the catering team for the minister of poverty alleviation and her well-heeled colleagues who are launching a scheme to aid the poor. Akpos has barely settled in when he is surprised by a call from his sister in Warri that their mom is being rushed to the hospital. There’s no money to pay the bills so Akpos promises to send all he’s being paid at the end of the day to settle her medical bills. But Tonye Bright, a calmly psychotic journalist at the minister’s event, reveals himself to be a terrorist as he leads an army of gunmen to takeover the hotel. Tonye sets up a livestream on social media for Nigerians to watch as he proceeds to ‘seize’ the funds for the minister’s project and distribute to downtrodden Nigerians. He becomes an instant hero to millions.
