Our recent indigenous series Irora Iya, Dala Dala, and Nwanyi Ike, gained wide followership and good reviews from our audience, and we are pleased to present these new interesting storylines for their viewing pleasure,” she said.
Apo is a thematic story of poverty, greed, family feud, sibling rivalry, marital wars and divorce, woven around a mystery bag containing money, charms and gun, found by six poor tenants of Mr. Olanrewaju. Kariya is a story about a couple, who on the brink of divorce, had their home invaded by armed robbers on the run from the police. They have to stage a unified front to survive the long night.
Set in the pre-colonial Igboland, Iwe is a series about two kingdoms, once brothers but now separated by decades of resentment, jealousy and greed.
