* DaydreamSurprise: The first episode begins with a scene of Tola riding her scooter before some bad guys attempt to kidnap her as Otin protects her. Otin tries to go into ''ija'' mode, but unfortunately, her head doesn't grow with her. But it turns out to be a simulation that Tunde is running on the plane.

Added DiffLines:

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: While Tola and Kole are presented strictly as friends (and she's only just turned ten), their ForbiddenFriendship could be ''very'' easily interpreted as Tunde [[DatingWhatDaddyHates not wanting his daughter to date below her social class]]. It doesn't help that Tunde mistakenly accuses Kole of being a GoldDigger who's trying to "take advantage" of Tola.

* ChildishToothGap: Kole has one, though he isn't a childish.



* GoldDigger: Tunde assumes Kole is a (platonic) example, believing him to be taking advantage of Tola by acting like her friend. It's not true though, as Kole is a hard worker and is nervous when Tola pushes him to openly partake in activities with her.
* GrayRainOfDepression: It rains when Kole is on his way home after Tunde catches him eating with Tola. On top of that, he has to walk in it since he can't afford to ride a tiny, crowded bus.



* TheHelpHelpingThemselves: Bode stole from his mother's employer as a kid so he could guy a necklace for himself, which resulted in her getting fired.



* InterclassFriendship: Tola, who is a privileged Nigerian who lives on an island with her rich father, and Kole, who lives on the Lagos mainland in the poorer village with his sick mother, are good friends. They know each other because he works for her father.

Added DiffLines:

* WhenYouComingHomeDad: The first episode shows Tola more or less being raised by servants and robots while her dad is busy on the mainland, even having to set up her own birthday party, which she hopes he'll enjoy when he arrives. Even when he gets home, he's ''still'' working most of the time, and walks past the birthday party without even noticing. Even giving her Otin only happened because he was told he needed to run human testing at the same time as he finally remembered it was her birthday.
