Beautiful Nubia - IKOKO AKUFO

IKOKO AKUFO/LAMENTATION FOR A BROKEN POT (Fèrè, 2006)
Available at itunes.apple.com/ca/album/fere...
Theme song composed for "The Narrow Path", a movie by Nigeria's foremost filmmaker, Tunde Kelani (based on a novel by notable academic, writer and bibliophile, Dr. Bayo Adebowale). The story revolves around Awero a young lady defiled before her all-important wedding night and thus made subject to scorn and reproach from society. Awero, the broken pot, becomes the reason for war between two towns, and is nearly driven to suicide by shame and depression. The story concludes with Awero's eventual redemption and the return of peace between all the antagonists.
"The broken pot becomes a resident of the garbage dump
Lightning strikes the aged trees, horror encircles the village
If you get to Orita town, please give my regards to delectable Awero
The endearing damsel desired by every man..."

Who else understands what his trying to say in this song ? Once upon a time there was in town called ilu orita where peace reigns …in some trybes, their customs states that a man must marry his wife as a virgin… but when awero got married to her husband,she has lost her virginity to another man in another town who raped her, so after her marriage her husband knew she’s wasn’t a virgin anymore, then he called the attention of the elders, that’s when they knew that she was raped by a man from another village that’s when the two villages began to fight each others and awero tried to commit suicide but later but they saw her and consoled her , she got married to another man again and peace begin to reign in ilu orita again I don’t know who else know this story but thanks to beautiful Nubia for such a beautiful song and thanks to my brother for telling me the story 😊❤

There are a lot of misconceptions/myth about such belief that have ruined so many ladies, I just think its an unfortunate judgement on women, if we judge the girl child because she didn't bleed on her wedding night, how about the guys deflowering them. Should have been a balance practice
