Lisabi: The Uprising

In late-Oyo Empire, Nigeria, Olodan ruler of the Olodan kingdom refuses to pay the massive tributes demanded by the Alaafin ruler of the Oyo Empire, leading to his ruthless attack and execution as a warning to anyone who dared to defy. Despite the Egba people's compliance with tribute demands, Sangodeyi, the ruthless head of the tribute collectors, and his brutal subordinates terrorize them, taking more than what is owed, raping young women, and killing those who resist. Lisabi Agbongbo-Akala, a farmer driven to vengeance after witnessing the brutal killing of his close friend by the Alaafin and his ally, sets out to demand revenge, fighting against the collectors and killing ten of them before he is shot and murdered. He becomes enraged about his friend's passing and decides to take on the responsibility of the Egba people's struggle for justice, leading to a mass uprising against their rulers.
