Abeni
ABENI, the daughter of a wealthy business mogul, and Akanni, a Beninoise from a poor background, are childhood lovers destined to meet again in later years. All grown up, Abeni is ordered by her father to marry the son of one of his business associates, but she‘ll do anything she can to keep that from happening – including running off with the innocent Akanni for a disastrous gunshot wedding.
