Before the start of the conflict, Major Dubem, a prince from the east, served as a soldier in northern Nigeria.[3] While he was there, he married a northerner named Habiba. Dubem fled to the east with his wife because his life was in danger in the north.
Even though she is pregnant for him, his father, the king, and the village elders refused to accept Habiba as one of them. They insist that he must wed the lady that they have chosen for him.
Contrarily, his uncle, a liar and a cheat, sells his people out to their enemies.
Across the Niger features some Nigerian top actors and actress.[4]
