Nimignon, native of the Ivory Coast, is a CEO of his own company. He is the unfaithful husband of Mbuyi, with whom he has two children, Odia and Amina. Nimignon is used to mistreating his employees, in particular Irina, his secretary native of Central African. He even allows himself to dismiss her.
