The “fictional” Migodo clan, a proud and mystical tribe within the mighty Benin Empire, stands at the crossroads of tradition, mystery, and looming conflict. At the heart of this tale is Ezuzu, an enigmatic mid-aged woman revered as the Wise One—seer, healer, and counselor to her people.

Ezuzu is burdened with a sacred yet secret mission. The Iyoba (Queen Idah) has foreseen the coming Idah Wars and entrusts Ezuzu with crafting a mystical strategy to aid the kingdom’s warriors. But as war approaches, Ezuzu must continue her daily work, offering guidance to the chaotic and often clueless villagers.

Adding to her challenges is Pedro (Izolo), her Portuguese-schooled assistant. A man of books but little common sense, Pedro constantly undermines Ezuzu’s methods, dismissing her wisdom as superstition. His arrogance is met with Ezuzu’s sharp wit and humor, creating hilarious and insightful clashes between logic and tradition.

As war looms and the people of Migodo struggle with their beliefs, Ezuzu must find a way to outmaneuver the enemy, navigate her assistant’s ignorance, and ensure the survival of her people—one baffling lesson at a time.
