He decides to marry a young bride, Funmi (Ejeye), from the village.

Funmi resents her husband in this union arranged by her mother Tundun. As she fails to help soothe Odun’s ageing nerves and bring him joy in his old age, sinks into grief and despair.

In a post on social media, Opukeme who was the writer for Adire, shared the why behind his latest story. “I’ve always been drawn to stories powerful enough to live forever. It was what guided me in creating the story called “Adire” a literal modern classic that will continue to find new audiences forever. That same timeless quality drew me to the idea that became Farmer’s Bride”.
