The movie Omije kikoro meaning bitter tears is a Yoruba movie which is subtitled in English that depicts the everyday happenings in the realm of the occult. How they gather and plan to capture, destroy and torment the lives of men who chose to lower their guards, or live carelessly.
After the death of Arogidigba, the chief herbalist of Edokinkin town, a battle of supremacy ensues between Agemo and Adan, the two remaining senior herbalists- with each of the claiming a right to the vacant office. The two begin to fight and the case is taken to the kabiyesi for advice, who then refers them to the stand by oracle.
The more heartless of the two is tipped to take over as the Arogidigba. While Adan consults familiar spirits for help, Agemo approaches Ajiun, the head of witches to get assistance.
A fierce battle ensues, leaving behind a tale of bitter tears. Fadeke an easy going Christian lady and Akowe a no-nonsense unbeliever get caught in the cross fire between the warring herbalists.
The people of the occult try everything to deviate Fadeke from her Faith but she would not bulge, so they device a plan to have her fornicate with her fiancé Dapo by blowing winds of carelessness into their relationship. Shortly after this the counseling pastor gets revelations about their union and confronts them, but they deny any act of iniquity, which rolls out the carpet of calamity for them, and causes fadeke to weep bitter uncontrollable tears.
Akowe is fed with bean cake (akara) in a dream at night but as a result of his lackadaisical attitude towards things he disregards the incidence as just a dream and unknown to him by the eating of the bean cake he had been inflicted with a painful incurable illness that will cause tears to follow from his eyes daily.

This movie is a teaching tool that depicts the scripture which says “be sober and be vigilant, for your adversary the devil walketh to and fro the earth seeking whom he may devour”. It is an eye opening movie that brings to light how unsafe the world we live in is and how we all should be equipped against the wiles of the enemy.
