Episode 1: "A New Beginning"
Date: April 1, 1993
The scene opens in a small but bustling hospital in Benin City, Nigeria. The air is filled with tension and excitement. Omobuwaire Izevbua, a tall, strong man, hurriedly ushers his wife, Uwemwen Ihenyen, into the hospital. She is in labour, gripping his hand tightly, her face twisted in pain.
Uwemwen (in agony): "O papa! O papa!" 😖💕
Omobuwaire gently tries to calm her, but he can barely hide his own nervousness. They reach the delivery room, where a doctor stands waiting. The doctor is Dr. Eghosa, a calm and experienced man with a reassuring smile. He looks up as they enter.
Dr. Eghosa (with a warm smile): "Benin, right?" 🩺🌍
Uwemwen (nodding, panting): "Yes."
Dr. Eghosa: "Okay, let’s do this." 👨⚕️✨
The scene transitions to Dr. Eghosa guiding Uwemwen through the full delivery process. After a tense and emotional time, a baby boy is born. The baby cries loudly, and the room fills with emotion. Dr. Eghosa carefully cuts the umbilical cord, wrapping the baby in a soft blanket.
But something feels wrong. Omobuwaire and Uwemwen exchange a puzzled look. The baby they hold isn’t like them—it’s white. 😲👶
Dr. Eghosa (surprised, but trying to remain calm): "Everything is fine, just a... bit unusual. But he’s healthy."
Uwemwen, still shaken, holds the baby close, tears in her eyes.
Uwemwen (softly): "Eghosa, thank you for helping. I want to name my baby Oluwatobi Eghosa Izevbua." 🍼💖
Dr. Eghosa’s eyes fill with tears. He nods, deeply moved by the gesture.
Later, Omobuwaire is standing by the door when Uwemwen enters with the baby. He looks at the child in her arms, his expression shifting from confusion to anger.
Omobuwaire (with disbelief): "Firstly, wasn’t his name supposed to be yours?" 😡
Uwemwen: "His name is Oluwatobi Eghosa Izevbua." 🗣️
Omobuwaire stares at the child again, shaking his head in disbelief.
Omobuwaire (angrily): "We’re not Yoruba! And where in hell is this ‘bobo abino’ coming from?!" 😤
Uwemwen (defensively): "I did nothing wrong, my love." 😔💔
Omobuwaire (furious, yelling): "I bet you cheated with Francis—the fine guy from Yoruba land and Germany! You tried to play me!" 👀❌
Uwemwen’s face drops. She is hurt and exhausted, but she tries to calm the situation.
Omobuwaire storms off and calls his grandfather, a respected elder in their village, for help. The grandfather arrives shortly, looking grave. He insists that they must perform an ancient ritual to determine whether the child belongs to Omobuwaire or not.
Grandfather (serious): "If the child is truly Omobuwaire's, he will survive. If not, he will die." ⚖️🔥
The ritual is set to take place in their village, under the watchful eyes of the community. The tension builds as Omobuwaire, Uwemwen, and the baby are taken to the ancestral grounds.
The episode ends with a cliffhanger—the ritual begins.
