The Perfect ending to such a wonderfully hilarious film!

Please read my review of part one before joining in. LOL! I'm laughing as I'm writing this LOL! That's how hilarious this film is. So, Akuya falls for her fake American Solidier (the scene where fake President Bush calls fake General Nelly from the White House is not to be missed). I mean, the lies are so incredible that only an inexperienced, street-dumb country bumpkin like Akuya (Nadia Buari) would believe them. I mean honestly, with some of the lies she believed, I personally wanted to sell her a bridge or two. :-) Anyhow, Nelly (Van Vicker) keeps reeling her in with his lies and she keeps buying them. Very soon, she kicks her fiancé to the curb for some full time loving with Nelly. Nelly on the other hand begins to truly fall for Akuya but is brought back to his senses when his friends decide they've had enough humiliating Akuya and stop funding Nelly's expensive charade. Nelly on the other hand, still in love with Akuya decides to re-invent the hoax by telling her that he's in an undercover sting operation to weed out Al-Qaeda operatives in Ghana. Akuya believes him, gives up everything she had with her former fiancé and agrees to move into the slums with Nelly (when in all actuality the slums is where he's from). Akuya is warned by an ex-girlfriend of the soldier but she chocks it up to jealousy and ignores the warnings. So, one day when Nelly gets evicted by his real-life landlord and he absconds leaving Akuya to face the music, a good Samaritan takes her (Akuya) and her mother to where Nelly actually works as a bricklayer and 9-months-pregnant Akuya faints at the realization that her American Boy is a fraud. LOL! :-D
