OTEGA
Set in rural Edo State, Nigeria Otega, a handsome and ambitious young boy will stop at nothing to achieve his ambition to school. Hawking daily to support his family and siblings couldn’t stop him as he engaged the services of an adventurous female young schoolgirl – Abike to help him achieve this ambition. Abike who comes from a middle working class family is a free spirit, happy to take advantage of Otega’s willingness to be her chaperon through her late returns from preparatory class.
OTEGA is a tale of two worlds, two motives and a tale of triumph.
