The producer explained, “I believe I’ve been called to tell Nigerian stories. From the feedback we have so far, people are ready to know more about our culture and our past. It’s an honour to be the vessel to tell these stories.”

Set in the ancient Kingdoms of Igala and Bini, The Legend of Inikpi tells the true story of two great kingdoms on the brink of war. When the Oracle informs King Attah of Igala Kingdom of the human sacrifice demanded by the gods, the king plunges into despair, haunted by the ghosts of his past; this is a sacrifice he is not prepared to give.

With critical buzz surrounding the screenings already, the epic flick stars Mercy Johnson Okojie as Queen Omele, Sam Dede as Attah Ayegba (king of Igala kingdom), Paul Obazele as Oba Esigie of the Bini Kingdom while Odunlade Adekola co-stars as Prince Attah Ayegba, Saidi Balogun as the Oracle of Igala kingdom with newcomer Nancy Ameh as the titular Princess Inikpi. ‘The Legend of Inikpi’ was directed by Frank Rajah.

Saidi balogun is a genius.

This is one story every igala son or daughter can relate with... I hope this movie does justice to the legendary inikpi folklore.

The self sacrifice of princess inikpi is the only reason the igala's were not exterminated and idah ran over.

I anticipate this movie with bated breath...

Just the same bullshit year in year out.

The actors and actresses include the producers are all scare of this jabajantice govt.

If you have never met the devil and you want to, just visit Attah Igala cos all 'Attah's' are the devil's incarnate. During the reign of Ameh Oboni, even the Oba of Benin was afraid of him.

A word of advice: If you have an Igala friend, keep him at arms length cos if they decide to jazz you, millions of TB Joshua cannot save you.
