This movie took us down memory lane, telling us about the Yoruba history and culture of the 70’s they showed us a bit of their characters and events.
There is something so sweet and nice about this Nigerian movie called “Adire”. They told a very relatable story, taking us back memory lane to the ancient Yoruba kingdom, culture and tradition.
Kehinde Bankole played the lead role in the movie as “Adire”. She moved to a new city after fleeing from her ex- employer, who was using her to make money from his rich clients, through illicit sex, despite all she did to set herself free, he never just agreed, till one day she stole some money and ran far away, or so she thought till her good clothing’s gave her out and he came looking for her. You will need to watch the entire movie to see how she impacted the women and the city positively despite being judged wrongly, she was willing to change and turn a new leaf, till trouble came knocking at her door again.
