The paper examines a Yoruba movie, links it to some Yoruba beliefs and asserts the connection between the reality and the creative production. To anchor its major point, it incorporates some verbal expressions of the Yoruba, draws attention to the thoughts that other scholars have about women’s empowerment and the challenges that educated African women face as they engage with their illiterate counterparts, and cites evidence from the movie, Ẹ̀jẹ̀ MeÌjiÌ€. At the end, the paper drifts towards a better painting of women’s image even though it echoes existing contradictory views on women.Downloads
