Description
When Agbado (Corn), the Oba of Pelewu’s beautiful daughter, finally meets Ojo (Rain), the kind of man she is looking for, and wishes to marry, her father presents Ina (Fire) to her as his choice of a husband for her. Ina and Ojo are the two most powerful and renowned men of the realm – known to cause fire and rain. Nobody knows how they do all they do – the powers they have.
The Oba decides that Ina and Ojo will have to fight each other in a race – and the person whose strength overrides the other will marry his daughter. Agbado, knowing very well that no matter what, it is Ojo she willl see as her husband, that she will love him for ever and that Ojo feels the same way, agrees to marry the winner.
At the competition the two men put their powers to the utmost in extraordinary ways, vying against each other, and the whole event is so intense, gripping and mind-blowing. It is glaringly obvious that Agbado sees Ojo as her husband, and the sworn eternal love they feel for each other leave the spectators breathless and on tenterhooks as to what the outcome will be.
