Edeleyo - The Decision

Princess Edeleyo, the most famous and powerful of Oba Ewuare's progeny is invited to sit under a 'make or break' judicature of the UZAMA (council of the nobles)

The Uzama's adjudication is aimed at elevating Princess Edeleyo as the Ediekan (heiress apparent) to being crowned as the Oba of Benin.

A tragic flaw secret - the 'nature of women' is surreptitiously obtained by an Uzama who feels the throne will be desecrated by the 'bloody emission of a mere woman'

He plans to use this secret to demystify this enigma.

Director Statement

The Justice Princess Edeleyo seeks is not too much to give. She wants us all to look once more at her sacrifice for the Great Benin Kingdom, by extension, the sacrifice of women to the whole of humanity. She desires we appreciate women not just only as the wombs of our lives but also as patriots, warriors and foundation builders of our societies. She wants us to know that women can be qualified by sacrifice and hard work to seat on the Throne as Oba's and Kings!
