Lakunle is the village school teacher who attempts to marry Sidi but ends up losing her to Baroka. Lakunle is an unapologetic dreamer who wishes to see his small village become modern like the city of Lagos. Lakunle does not care about what other people think and openly ridicules others for their traditional ways. He also turns out to be an insincere individual after he attempts to use the traditional custom to avoid paying the bride-price when he learns Sidi is not a virgin.
Sidi is the village jewel who becomes famous after her images are depicted in a foreign magazine. Although Sidi is beautiful, she becomes extremely arrogant and vain. She is obsessed with her appearance, and Baroka uses this to his advantage.
Baroka is the masculine Bale of the village who ends up marrying Sidi. Despite his age, Baroka is still a powerful, energetic man. He is also wise and cunning. Baroka devises a successful plan and wins Sidi's heart.
