Anikulapo: a story about the vanity of desires
Anikulapo, which literally means “he who has death in his pouch”, is a period piece set probably in the mid-15th to 16th century in the kingdom of Oyo, at the onset of the slave trade with Portuguese sailing vessels that plied the coast of West Africa.

Anikulapo is a tragedy. A reflection on the insatiable desires of man, betrayal and consequences.
