Shot on VHS camcorder and released direct to video in two parts across 1992 and 1993, this Igbo-language drama about a man who sacrifices his wife for ritual wealth became Nollywood's first blockbuster, reportedly selling hundreds of thousands of copies, with some accounts citing over a million.
Fun fact: The film was written and produced by Kenneth Nnebue, a businessman who had been importing blank VHS tapes from Taiwan and needed content to sell them, inadvertently launching an entire industry.
