Omowunmi Ajiboye

Set against the rich backdrop of Yoruba tradition, a courageous woman rises against oppression in her community. As she fights for justice, she must navigate political schemes, betrayal, and the weight of tradition.

Adapted from the eponymous novel by Nigerian author and poet Femi Osofisan, Cordelia is a romantic period-drama where romance meets politics. This novella starts with a lecturer in a disturbed state about his marriage, which is resulting in an inability to teach his students. One of them later confronts him in his office about his shoddy lecture, and the student in question is accompanied to the lecturer’s office by another student named Cordelia. But little does our lecturer know that Cordelia is about to be at the center of a major riot at the institution.
