Inale is a 2010 Nigerian musical drama film produced by Keke Bongos and directed by Jeta Amata.[2][3] The film which stars Caroline Chikezie and Hakeem Kae-Kazim in lead roles,[4] is set in Otukpo and tells the tale of Inale and Ode, who are both in love with each other but their love is threatened by tradition as Ode must win a customary wrestling tournament before he can take Inale's hand in marriage.
The film premiered in Lagos on 22 October 2010[5] and was met with mixed reception. It received five nominations at the 7th Africa Movie Academy Awards and eventually won the category for Achievement in Soundtrack.[6] Inale has been said to be very similar to a folktale about Idomaland.[7]
