Overview
Young women constantly looking for greener pastures in white men. The only survival plan is to get hooked to white men from any part of the world with loads of money. :lol: (African Movie Reviewer) [ed. If you're a rich white man, yes, you can be from any part of the world, but never ask Tabita to move to Germany. "Any other civilized country but Germany," she says.]
