The legendary story of a folk hero's rebellion against an oppressive empire, fighting for his freedom and forever altering the course of Yoruba history.
King Olodan, the ruler of the Olodan kingdom, refuses to pay the heavy tributes demanded by the Alaafin ruler of the Oyo Empire. He is savagely beaten and dragged to the palace. The tributes, consisting of money and farm produce, are forcibly taken from the people's hard-earned businesses. Enraged by Olodan's rebellion, the Alaafin of Oyo orders his execution, making him an example for any who dare to resist.
Sangodeyi, the ruthless head of the tribute collectors, alongside his brutal subordinates, terrorizes the Egba people, despite their compliance with the tribute demands. Their cruelty has no bounds—they take more than what is owed, rape young women, and kill anyone who dares to resist their tyranny. As their oppression worsens day by day, life becomes unbearable for the farmers and villagers of Egba land.
Oshokenu, a close friend of the hardworking farmer Lisabi, witnesses a disturbing incident where the collectors, after seizing all the money from a businesswoman, take her daughter as well. Outraged by their cruelty, Oshokenu boldly questions the injustice, asking, "Why do you take only women Men should go with them too." For his defiance, the tribute collectors brutally punished him, marking his face in a public display of their power.
