It’s also very important that we applaud the makers of this film for sticking to the indigenous language throughout its duration, as opposed to the many Yoruba movies in the past that usually have a good percentage of its vocabulary in English.Īll in all, ‘King of Thieves’ is a good watch. This movie does a great job at not just storytelling, but creating awareness of culture and traditions with emphasis on spirituality. Even though the animations, voiceovers and effects could have been better, the plot, setting, costume, music/chants and storyline were all delivered with precision. This epic has raised the bar for Yoruba movies. This, we believe, was done to make us believe Agesinkole came back to tell his story and subtly remind us of his warning. This fight leads to the true revelation of who Agesinkole is, the reason for his evil deeds – laying new rules and the consequences if those rules aren’t followed.Īfter the story, as the narrator walks away, his eyes roll and turn to those of Agesinkole. It is a battle of chants and what we’ll describe as a show of power. Scared for him, his mother, a witch, uses her power to fortify and prepare him for the battle ahead with Agesinkole. Instead of getting killed by a snake, he was to face Agesinkole. Oguntade was sentenced to death but unconventionally so. In the land of Ajeromi, stealing is a grievous offence with death for penalty. All this was going on, until a man named Oguntade (Ibrahim Chatta) was caught stealing. Everyone that dared to challenge him was defeated and in extreme cases, killed. News reaches the king of Ajeromi and he’s angry.Īt this point, Agesinkole’s reign of terrorism on Ajeromi begins in full force. He robs and kidnaps two neighbouring kings who came for the coronation. Not long after his coronation, Agesinkole strikes. The importance of reverence for each one was shown when the king (Odunlade Adekola) went to pay homage to each faction before his coronation ceremony.
