The Netflix release Chief Daddy 2: Going for Broke is a Nigerian film about the dysfunctional family of Chief ‘Daddy’ Beecroft. A well-respected and established industrialist, Chief Daddy became notorious for having various illegitimate relationships. Because of this, he has an extended family of children and mistresses. But as a lion-heart, he loves them all despite knowing it’s impossible to make peace among them.
In the first part, we saw that he provided for everybody in his will. Not only family members but also the maid and the chauffeur were provided for. Also, in the end, the family understood having each other and made peace with each other. But this moment of joy was temporary. Soon after the will was declared, Chief Daddy’s bankers introduced a condition that Chief Daddy’s company was going public, and all the provisions were not going to apply before the procedure concluded.
In the second installment, we learn that Chief Daddy has a second relationship and a daughter, Leila. However, as she is neglected in the will and respect of the family, she comes for revenge. In that process, she takes over Chief Daddy’s company and breaks all the other family members.
This tensile situation tears them apart again, and the family becomes dysfunctional again. Meanwhile, the relationship between Dammy and Adaora becomes strained over some misunderstanding. Adaora becomes so much fed up with Dammy’s preference for his celebrity lifestyle over her. Also, the gossip about Dammy’s relationship with a high-class artist, Nina, sparks Dammy’s infidelity, which hurts her even more. On that basis, she breaks the engagement with Dammy. But it’s her mother, Madam Pat, who tells her that she sees love for her in Dammy’s eyes.
Meanwhile, Famzy goes to Dubai to hit big with an investor he comes to know about from a known rap star in Nigeria. He calls Dammy for support. So, Dammy takes the chance to take Adaora to Dubai to persuade her and support Famzy. Though they come to know that there is no investor in Dubai, Famzy hesitantly decides to take part in a talent show based on Dammy’s advice and those of others. Here, Dammy plans a deal with Leila and makes the road possible for peace. At the end of the Dubai episode, Dammy successfully persuades Adaora, and Famzy gets his break.
In the end, all the family members come to Dammy and Adaora’s wedding, and Leila is invited there, too. Though the family members object to her presence, Dammy takes center stage to show the importance of all in an extended family and that they should make peace with each other. The family members acknowledge that and celebrate the wedding, ending the feud with each other.
