Transcript

00:00Abeni was a bright and kind-hearted girl who had always been the light of her father's life.

00:04She had her mother's gentle smile and a spirit full of dreams.

00:08But everything changed when she lost her mother at a young age.

00:11The warmth of her home faded, leaving behind a quiet sadness that even her father, Chief Jaro, couldn't fill.

00:18He loved his daughter dearly, but as a leader, he had many responsibilities.

00:22He believed Abeni needed a mother's care, so after some time, he remarried.

00:27His new wife, Madame Zula, was beautiful and charming.

00:31She spoke sweetly, promising to care for Abeni as if she were her own daughter.

00:36At first, it seemed like she truly meant it.

00:38She would smile at Abeni, braid her hair, and tell her stories at night.

00:43The little girl, still grieving for her mother, wanted to believe that Zula cared for her.

00:48She tried to be obedient and respectful, hoping to win her new mother's love.

00:52But things slowly began to change.

00:54Zula's smiles became rare, and her voice turned sharp.

00:58She no longer looked at Abeni with kindness, but with something else.

01:02Something cold and calculating.

01:04She started finding faults in everything Abeni did.

01:07If the girl played too loudly, she scolded her.

01:09If she spoke at the wrong time, she silenced her with a glare.

01:13Little by little, the warmth Zula once showed disappeared,

01:16replaced by cruelty hidden behind a perfect mask.

01:19At first, Abeni thought it was her fault.

01:22Maybe she wasn't good enough.

01:24Maybe if she tried harder, Zula would love her.

01:26But no matter how much she tried, Zula's heart remained as hard as stone.

01:30She treated Abeni like a burden, like an unwanted shadow in her perfect new life.

01:35Abeni's father, Chief Jaro, didn't notice the change.

01:39He was often away, tending to the affairs of the village.

01:42Whenever he was home, Zula acted like the perfect wife and stepmother,

01:46pretending to care for Abeni while hiding her true nature.

01:49She would serve Jaro his favourite meals, speak softly,

01:53and even encourage Abeni to sit beside her as if they were a happy family.

01:56But the moment he left, her kindness vanished like smoke in the wind.

02:00Abeni soon realised the truth.

02:02Zula had never cared for her.

02:04She had only pretended to be kind so she could gain her father's trust.

02:08And now, with no one to protect her, Abeni's life was about to become a nightmare.

02:12Abeni's life changed completely after her father's marriage.

02:15The warmth and love she once knew disappeared, replaced by coldness and cruelty.

02:20Madame Zula no longer pretended to be kind.

02:23She made it clear that Abeni was nothing more than an unwanted child in her home.

02:27But the worst part, she wasn't alone in her cruelty.

02:30Her daughter, Nia, followed in her footsteps.

02:34Nia was the same age as Abeni, but the two girls lived completely different lives.

02:38While Nia was treated like a princess, Abeni was treated like a servant.

02:43Every morning, before the sun even rose, Zula would shake Abeni awake and order her to do the household chores.

02:50Clean the floors, wash the clothes, fetch the water.

02:54The commands never stopped.

02:56Abeni barely had time to eat.

02:57And when she did, it was always the leftovers from Zula and Nia's plates.

03:01At first, Abeni tried to complain to her father, but Zula was clever.

03:06Whenever Chief Jarrah was home, she acted like the perfect mother, showering Abeni with fake kindness.

03:11She is such a helpful girl, Zula would say, smiling sweetly.

03:15She loves helping around the house.

03:17Abeni wanted to scream that it wasn't true, but she knew her father wouldn't believe her.

03:22Zula had him wrapped around her finger, and he was too busy with his work to notice the truth.

03:26Nia, on the other hand, took pleasure in making Abeni's life miserable.

03:30She would spill water on the floor just to make Abeni clean it again.

03:33She would take Abeni's clothes and claim them as her own, leaving Abeni with nothing but old, torn dresses.

03:39You don't need nice things, Nia would sneer.

03:42You're just a servant.

03:43Despite everything, Abeni refused to break.

03:46She held onto the memories of her mother, remembering her gentle voice telling her to stay strong.

03:51She found comfort in small moments, watching the sunrise, feeling the cool breeze on her face,

03:57dreaming of a day when she would be free.

03:58No matter how much Zula and Nia tried to crush her spirit, Abeni held onto hope.

04:03One day, she promised herself, things would change.

04:06One day, news spread through the village that the noble Prince Adewale was searching for a bride.

04:12He wanted a woman who was not just beautiful, but also kind and strong-hearted.

04:17Chiefs and wealthy families prepared their daughters, dressing them in the finest clothes,

04:22hoping the prince would choose them.

04:24Zula, of course, was eager for Nia to be selected.

04:26When the prince's messengers arrived, they observed all the young women in the village.

04:31They watched how they spoke, how they carried themselves, and how they treated others.

04:36To everyone's shock, the prince's messenger chose Abeni.

04:39Abeni has the heart of a queen, the messenger announced.

04:42She will be presented to the prince.

04:44Zula's smile froze.

04:46Nia's face twisted with anger.

04:48How could a girl they had treated like a servant be chosen over Nia?

04:51It was unthinkable.

04:53If Abeni married the prince, she would rise above them.

04:55She would become powerful, respected, and untouchable.

04:58Zula could not allow that to happen.

05:00That night, Zula paced back and forth, her mind racing.

05:04If Abeni becomes a princess, we will be nothing, she muttered to herself.

05:09Nia, still fuming, clenched her fists.

05:12She doesn't deserve it.

05:13She's just a lowly girl.

05:15Zula's eyes darkened.

05:17Then we must make sure she never gets there.

05:19A wicked plan formed in her mind.

05:22She would get rid of Abeni.

05:23Forever.

05:24No one would ever see her again.

05:26And the prince would forget about her.

05:28Then, Nia would take her place.

05:30The next morning, Zula put on her sweetest smile.

05:33Abeni, my dear, she said, her voice dripping with fake kindness.

05:37You must be tired.

05:38Let me send you to the river to fetch some cool water.

05:41A fresh bath will make you even more beautiful for the prince.

05:44Abeni, unsuspecting, nodded.

05:47She had no idea she was walking straight into a trap.

05:50The sun was setting, painting the sky in shades of gold and orange when Zula called Abeni.

05:55Her voice was unusually sweet.

05:57Almost too sweet.

05:58My dear, tomorrow is an important day, she said with a smile that didn't reach her

06:03eyes.

06:03You must look your best for the prince.

06:05Go to the river and bring fresh water.

06:07A bath will make you shine even more.

06:09Abeni, always obedient, nodded.

06:12She picked up the clay pot and started walking towards the river, unaware of the evil lurking

06:17behind her.

06:18Zula followed closely, her steps silent like a snake in the grass.

06:22The river was calm, its waters reflecting the fading sunlight.

06:26Abeni stepped to the edge, bending down to fill her pot.

06:29That was the moment Zula had been waiting for.

06:32Without hesitation, she shoved Abeni hard.

06:34Abeni gasped as she lost her balance.

06:37The world seemed to slow down as she tumbled forward, her hands grasping at the air.

06:41Then, splash.

06:43She hit the cold water, the force pulling her under.

06:46Zula stood on the riverbank, watching with cold satisfaction.

06:49Goodbye, little burden, she whispered.

06:51She expected Abeni to sink, to disappear forever beneath the water.

06:55She had planned it perfectly.

06:57No one would ever find her, but Abeni wasn't ready to give up.

07:00Panic surged through her as she fought against the water, kicking and flailing.

07:04She surfaced for a moment, gasping for air, but the river was strong.

07:08The current grabbed her like an unseen hand, dragging her away.

07:11Abeni!

07:12She tried to call out, but her voice was swallowed by the rushing water.

07:16Her arms ached, her lungs burned, but she refused to let go.

07:19She didn't want to die.

07:21She had to survive.

07:22Zula, seeing Abeni vanish down the river, smirked and turned away.

07:27As far as she was concerned, the problem was solved, but she had no idea.

07:31Abeni's story was far from over.

07:33The river carried Abeni far away, tossing her like a leaf in a storm.

07:37Her arms ached, her lungs burned, and darkness crept into her vision.

07:41Just when she thought she could fight no more, the water threw her onto the muddy riverbank.

07:46She lay there, weak and unmoving, her body covered in cuts and bruises.

07:51Somewhere in the distance, footsteps approached.

07:54An old woman with wise eyes and dark, wrinkled skin knelt beside her.

07:59She touched Abeni's forehead gently.

08:01You are not meant to die today, child, she murmured.

08:04Carefully, she lifted Abeni into her arms and carried her away.

08:07When Abeni woke up, she was inside a small hut, warm and safe.

08:11The scent of herbs filled the air.

08:13The old woman sat nearby, stirring a pot over the fire.

08:16You are awake, she said with a smile.

08:19Good.

08:20You are stronger than you think.

08:21Abeni tried to speak, but her throat was dry.

08:24The woman handed her a cup of warm tea.

08:26Drink, my child.

08:27You have a long journey ahead of you.

08:29Days passed, and Abeni slowly regained her strength.

08:32The woman, Mama Kaya, was not just a healer.

08:35She was wise, powerful, and full of secrets.

08:38The world tried to break you, she told Abeni.

08:40But you are not broken.

08:42You are being shaped into something greater.

08:44Mama Kaya taught Abeni how to survive.

08:46She showed her how to gather food, how to move silently through the forest,

08:50how to fight if she ever needed to.

08:52More importantly, she taught her to listen.

08:54To the wind, to the trees, and to the voice deep inside her heart.

08:59Strength is not just in the body, my child, she said.

09:02It is in the mind.

09:03It is in knowing who you are.

09:05Abeni listened, learned, and grew.

09:07She was no longer the helpless girl who had been thrown into the river.

09:10She was something new, something stronger, and soon she would return.

09:14Time passed, and Abeni was no longer the weak, helpless girl who had been thrown into the river.

09:20She had faced death, but she had survived.

09:22Now, under Mama Kaya's guidance, she was becoming something more, stronger, wiser, and ready to reclaim her life.

09:30Each morning, she woke up before the sun and trained.

09:33Mama Kaya made her run through the thick forest, her feet moving swiftly over roots and stones.

09:38She climbed trees, learning to move like a shadow.

09:42She lifted heavy logs to build her strength, swung wooden staffs until her arms ached,

09:47and practiced fighting techniques until her body knew them by heart.

09:51A queen must be strong, Mama Kaya said, not just in body, but in mind.

09:56So, Abeni trained her mind too.

09:58She studied leadership, learning how to command respect without fear.

10:02She observed the way people spoke, the way they reacted, and how true power lay in wisdom, not cruelty.

10:09Mama Kaya told her stories of great leaders, of warriors who had risen from nothing to become legends.

10:15Your story is not over, child, she said.

10:18It is only beginning.

10:19But one day, Abeni overheard something that shattered her heart.

10:23A group of travelers stopped by Mama Kaya's hut, speaking of the village she once called home.

10:28The chief's daughter is dead, one of them said.

10:31Poor man.

10:32He mourns her every day.

10:34But his wife says it was fate.

10:36Abeni's hands tightened into fists.

10:38Her father thought she was dead.

10:40Zula had won.

10:42She had not only stolen Abeni's home, but had convinced everyone that she was gone forever.

10:47For a moment, grief threatened to swallow her whole.

10:50But then, something inside her shifted.

10:52She was not dead.

10:53She was alive.

10:54And she would return, not as the broken girl they had tried to destroy, but as a force they would never forget.

11:01With fire in her heart, and a plan in her mind, Abeni knew one thing for sure.

11:06Her stepmother had made a terrible mistake.

11:08She had left her alive.

11:10The day Abeni stepped back into her village, the earth itself seemed to pause.

11:15The sun shone brightly, casting a golden glow over her, making her look almost unreal.

11:20She walked with her head high, her step steady and full of purpose.

11:25She was no longer the weak, frightened girl who had been thrown into the river.

11:29She was something far greater.

11:31At first, the villagers did not recognize her.

11:34They saw a tall, strong woman dressed in simple yet elegant robes, her posture regal, her presence commanding.

11:41But then whispers spread like wildfire.

11:43It's Abeni, someone gasped.

11:45She's alive.

11:46More and more people gathered, their eyes wide with disbelief.

11:50Mothers clutched their children.

11:52Elders murmured prayers.

11:54And men who had once ignored her presence now stared in awe.

11:57How was this possible?

11:58They had all believed she was dead.

12:00Chief Jara was sitting in the courtyard of his home.

12:03When he heard the commotion, he frowned, standing up.

12:06What is happening?

12:07He demanded.

12:07But before anyone could answer, he saw her.

12:10His heart stopped.

12:11Abeni?

12:11His voice was barely above a whisper.

12:13She met his gaze.

12:15Her eyes filled with emotion.

12:16Yes, father, she said, her voice steady.

12:19I have returned.

12:20From the doorway, a sharp gasp filled the air.

12:23Zula stood frozen, her face pale as if she had seen a ghost.

12:27Nia clutched her mother's arm, her hands trembling.

12:30This wasn't possible.

12:32Abeni was supposed to be gone forever.

12:34Zula quickly forced a smile, trying to regain control.

12:37My dear, we thought you were dead, she said sweetly, stepping forward.

12:41What a miracle.

12:42But Abeni saw the fear behind her eyes.

12:45She wasn't the same naive girl anymore.

12:47She knew the truth.

12:48And now, so would everyone else.

12:50The time for silence was over.

12:52The time for justice had come.

12:54The air was thick with tension as the villagers gathered around.

12:58Abeni stood tall, her eyes locked on her father's.

13:01But before she could speak, Zula rushed forward, forcing a nervous laugh.

13:05Oh, Abeni, my dear, we mourned you for so long.

13:08How did you survive?

13:10Abeni didn't blink.

13:11You tell me, stepmother, she said, her voice calm but firm.

13:16After all, you were the one who pushed me into the river.

13:18Gasps filled the air.

13:20The villagers turned to Zula.

13:22Shock and horror on their faces.

13:24Chief Jaro stiffened.

13:25What?

13:26His voice was dangerously low.

13:28Zula's fake smile wavered.

13:29She must be confused, she said quickly.

13:32The poor girl went through so much.

13:34I remember everything, Abeni interrupted.

13:37Stepping closer, you sent me to fetch water that evening.

13:40You followed me.

13:41And when I bent down, you pushed me.

13:43She turned to her father.

13:44You never questioned my disappearance, did you?

13:47You believed Zula's lies when she said I had drowned by accident.

13:51Chief Jaro's face darkened, his hands clenching into fists.

13:55He looked at Zula.

13:56Is this true?

13:58Before she could answer, another voice broke through the crowd.

14:01It's true.

14:02It was one of the old market women.

14:04I always wondered why Zula seemed so eager to move on after Abeni's death.

14:08She barely mourned.

14:09But you, chief, you were drowning in grief.

14:12Abeni continued, her voice ringing with strength.

14:14Zula wanted me gone because the prince chose me.

14:17She wanted Nia to take my place.

14:20At that moment, a new figure arrived.

14:22Prince Adewala himself.

14:23He stepped off his horse, his eyes wide with disbelief.

14:27Abeni, his voice was full of emotion.

14:29You are alive, Abeni nodded.

14:32Yes, my prince.

14:33I lived.

14:34And now, the truth must be known.

14:36The crowd murmured.

14:38All eyes now on Zula.

14:39The truth had been revealed.

14:41And there was no escaping it.

14:42Chief Jaro's expression hardened.

14:44You will answer for this, he said coldly.

14:47Zula and Nia shrank back, knowing their time had run out.

14:50The village was silent.

14:51All eyes were on Zula and Nia, their faces pale with fear.

14:55Chief Jaro's hands trembled with rage, his heart heavy with betrayal.

15:00He had trusted Zula, given her a place in his home.

15:03And in return, she had tried to kill his daughter.

15:05You have brought shame upon this family, he said, his voice filled with anger and pain.

15:11You lied.

15:13You deceived me.

15:14And worst of all, you tried to kill my own blood.

15:17Zula fell to her knees, her eyes wide with desperation.

15:21My husband, please, she begged.

15:23I was only thinking of Nia's future.

15:25Forgive me.

15:26But Chief Jaro shook his head.

15:28There is no forgiveness for this, he turned to the villagers.

15:32From this day forward, Zula and Nia are banished.

15:35They will leave this village and never return, the villagers murmured in agreement.

15:40No one wanted to live among traitors.

15:42Two guards stepped forward, grabbing Zula and Nia by the arms.

15:46Nia, who had been silent until now, suddenly screamed.

15:50This is all your fault, mother.

15:51If you hadn't been so greedy, quiet, Zula hissed.

15:56But it was too late.

15:57The people had seen their true nature.

16:00As they were dragged away, Zula turned to Abeni one last time.

16:03You will regret this, she spat.

16:06But Abeni only looked at her calmly.

16:08No, stepmother, she said softly.

16:10I will only remember.

16:12When they were gone, Chief Jaro turned to Abeni, his eyes filled with tears.

16:17My daughter, I failed you, he whispered.

16:19I should have protected you.

16:20I should have seen the truth.

16:22Abeni took a deep breath.

16:23You believed the wrong person, father, she said.

16:26But now, you know the truth.

16:28He held her hands tightly.

16:29I will never abandon you again.

16:31Abeni nodded.

16:32The past could not be changed, but the future was hers to shape.

16:36She would not let bitterness rule her heart.

16:38She forgave, but she would never forget.

16:40She was ready to move forward.

16:42Her story was just beginning.

16:44The sun was setting, painting the sky in shades of gold and crimson.

16:48Abeni stood in the middle of the village, surrounded by people who once pitied her, but now looked at her with admiration.

16:54She had survived what was meant to destroy her.

16:57She had returned, stronger than ever.

17:00Prince Adewal stepped forward, his eyes never leaving Abeni.

17:03He had grieved for her, thinking she was lost forever.

17:07But now she stood before him, not just alive, but radiant.

17:10Abeni, he said, his voice filled with admiration.

17:15I chose you once because of your kindness and grace.

17:18But today, I choose you again.

17:20Not just for your beauty, but for your strength, your courage, and your heart.

17:25The villagers held their breath as the prince knelt before her.

17:29Will you stand beside me, not just as my wife, but as my queen?

17:33Tears welled up in Abeni's eyes, but she did not let them fall.

17:37She had come so far.

17:38This was not just a marriage proposal.

17:41It was the beginning of something greater.

17:43A future where she would not be powerless.

17:45Where no girl would ever suffer as she had.

17:48She reached out and took the prince's hands.

17:50Yes, she said, her voice steady.

17:53I will.

17:53The village erupted in cheers.

17:56Women clapped.

17:57Men nodded in respect.

17:59And children danced with joy.

18:01Abeni was not just the chief's daughter anymore.

18:04She was their future queen.

18:05When the wedding day arrived, it was a celebration.

18:08Like no other.

18:10Abeni walked through the village in royal robes.

18:12Her head high.

18:13Her heart full.

18:14No longer was she the girl who had been thrown away.

18:17She was the woman who had risen from the depths.

18:20Unshaken.

18:21And unstoppable.

18:22And as she sat beside her husband.

18:24Now King Adewaley.

18:25She knew this was more than just a happy ending.

18:28This was the start of something new.

18:30Her story would be told for generations.

18:32A story of resilience.

18:34Of strength.

18:35And of a girl who refused to be broken.

18:37A queen had been born.

18:39And she would rule with wisdom.

18:41Kindness.

18:42And an unshakable fire in her heart.

18:44Zula and Nia walked through the barren lands.

18:47Their fine clothes now torn and covered in dust.

18:50Their feet ached.

18:51Their stomachs rumbled.

18:52But no village would take them in.

18:54Wherever they went, people turned them away.

18:57News of their betrayal had spread far and wide.

19:00No one wanted to offer shelter to a woman who had tried to kill an innocent girl.

19:04Out of jealousy.

19:04At first, Zula tried to hold her head high.

19:08Believing she could find another rich man to manipulate.

19:10But every time she spoke, doors were slammed in her face.

19:14Merchants refused to sell to her.

19:15Even when she offered the last of her stolen jewelry.

19:18We don't deal with snakes.

19:20They sneered.

19:21Nia, once proud and arrogant.

19:23Now looked weak and defeated.

19:24She had been raised to believe she was special.

19:26That she was meant for a life of comfort.

19:28But now, she slept under trees.

19:31Shivered in the cold.

19:32And begged for food.

19:33One night, as they sat near a dying fire.

19:36Nia turned to her mother.

19:37Her eyes filled with anger.

19:39This is all your fault.

19:40She spat.

19:41You told me I was better than a baini.

19:43You promised me a future as a queen.

19:45And now look at us.

19:47Zula's face hardened.

19:48You were supposed to be queen.

19:50She snapped.

19:51If a baini had just stayed dead.

19:53None of this would have happened.

19:54Nia let out a bitter laugh.

19:57She survived, mother.

19:58And she became stronger.

20:00While we, we are nothing now.

20:02For the first time, silence fell between them.

20:05They both knew the truth.

20:07Greed had destroyed them.

20:08Days turned into weeks.

20:10And Zula's once proud spirit crumbled.

20:12She aged quickly.

20:13Her beauty fading.

20:15Her body growing weak.

20:17No one showed them mercy.

20:18No one cared if they lived or died.

20:20And so, they wandered endlessly.

20:22Ghosts of their former selves.

20:24While a baini's name was spoken with honour, theirs became a cautionary tale.

20:29A story of greed, envy, and the price of wickedness.

20:33Years passed, but a baini never forgot where she came from.

20:37She never forgot the pain of being powerless.

20:40The loneliness of losing her mother.

20:42Or the cruelty of those who tried to destroy her.

20:44She had survived, but she knew there were many girls who weren't as lucky.

20:50One day, as she walked through the village, she saw a young girl sitting alone.

20:55Her eyes filled with sadness.

20:56A baini knelt beside her.

20:58What's your name?

20:59She asked gently.

21:00Ayo, the girl whispered.

21:02Where is your family?

21:03The child looked down.

21:05Gone, she said softly.

21:06A baini's heart ached.

21:08She knew that pain all too well.

21:11That night, she made a decision.

21:12She would not just be a queen.

21:15She would be a protector, a guide, a mother to those who had no one.

21:19She ordered the construction of a grand home.

21:21A place where orphaned and abandoned girls could find safety, love, and education.

21:26They would not just be fed and clothed.

21:29They would be taught skills, wisdom, and strength.

21:32They would learn to stand on their own feet, just as she had.

21:35Word of a baini's kindness spread far beyond the village.

21:38Mothers whispered her name as they told their daughters stories of her bravery.

21:43Travelers carried tales of the queen who had once been thrown away, but had returned, unbroken, to build a legacy greater than revenge.

21:51People from distant lands came to see her.

21:54Not just to admire her beauty, but to seek her wisdom.

21:57Rulers asked for her advice.

21:59Poets wrote songs about her journey.

22:01But a baini never let pride cloud her heart.

22:03She knew true power was not in ruling over others, but in lifting them up.

22:08And so, every evening, she sat with the girls at her home, telling them the story of a girl who had been cast into a river, but rose stronger than ever.

22:16Her name became more than just a name.

22:18It became a symbol.

22:20A baini.

22:20The girl who could not be broken.

22:22And through the lives she touched, her legacy lived on forever.
