A wandering weaver’s affair with a king’s youngest wife gets him killed — and resurrected by a mystical bird whose power he begins to sell.
Afolayan’s Oyo-empire world remains the most fully realised in Nollywood, and Bimbo Ademoye’s Arolake is the franchise’s soul. With Rise of the Spectre trending, the original is essential homework.
Verdict: A modern Nollywood classic. Watch it before the sequel spoils its ending.
