Baroka corresponds to the cunning traditional ruler who feigns loss of virility; Lakunle corresponds to the self-proclaimed modern schoolteacher who rejects bride-price; Sidi corresponds to the vain village belle driven by magazine fame; Sadiku corresponds to the chief's senior wife acting as a matchmaker.
