Alabede is an historical and a monumental movie which is about the African culture in circumcision and a family that inherits this culture of circumcising either female or male child but this story centers around male circumcision where they cut the part of the male genitals believing its not healthy. This particular family resides in a village where she operates as the circumciser for every family that gives birth.
This woman has a stubborn and violent daughter that creates chaos everywhere she goes and this led to the death of the woman. According to their tradition, the young lady took over this responsibilities and she became the great Circumciser.
In the course of doing this job, she met a guy that she admires so much unfortunately, the guy doesn't like her because of her ill characters. Then what happens next? Watch out for the concluding part of the story!!!!
In his interview, he made us understand that there are lot of lessons to be learnt from the movie such the beauty of Africa, not to forcefully take what does not belong to you and lastly the act SUICIDE has been in existence in the days of our forefathers.
Jide also added that he wants the whole world to know that he appreciate Yoruba culture and he is a good Yoruba speaker.
