The Woman with Two Skins | A Nigerian Folktale of Envy and Magic | A Simple Tale
Simple Tales presents a classic folktale from Calabar in Southern Nigeria, The Woman with Two Skins—a dramatic and enchanting story of hidden beauty, relentless jealousy, and a royal family restored by truth.
When King Eyamba takes the spider's daughter, Adiaha, as his wife, he is disappointed by her extreme ugliness and banishes her to a separate home. But Adiaha carries a profound secret: beneath her ugly outer skin lies extraordinary beauty that can only be revealed at night. Through the treachery of a jealous head wife, magic medicine makes the king forget Adiaha, and her children are cast into the river. Rescued by a Water Ju Ju, the children grow up in secret until a grand wrestling match brings the lost son back to the palace, where a public trial exposes the wicked plots and restores Adiaha to her rightful place as queen.
