A new episode of the popular TV drama series, Professor Johnbull, sponsored by fully integrated telecommunications outfit, Globacom, went on air on Tuesday, raising issues on Valentine’s.
The episode 1 of the new season, which was broadcast on NTA Network, NTA International on DSTV Channel 251 and NTA on StarTimes at 8.30pm, will be repeated on the same channels today, Friday.
According to Globacom, the new episode entitled, Be My Val, blended comedy with satire to highlight critical moral messages that would help in reshaping people’s attitude.
“We have no doubt that the teeming fans of Professor Johnbull will find season 3 as exciting as ever. We are confident that each episode in this new season, like the episodes in the first two seasons, will thrill viewers superbly. We carefully selected the topics to be treated in this new season to continuously reflect our day to day living as a people. Be My Val, the first episode of the season is a clear testimony to this,” Globacom said.
Be My Val parades the regulars in the sitcom such as Professor Johnbull (Kanayo O. Kanayo), Elizabeth (Queen Nwokoye), Churchill (Jnr. Pope Odonwodo), Caro (Mercy Johnson-Okojie), Olaniyi (Yomi Fash-Lanso), Flash (Stephen Odimgbe), Jumoke (Bidemi Kosoko), Samson (Ogus Baba), and Ufoma (Bimbo Akintola).
In the new episode, Professor Johnbull pontificated on the celebration of Valentine’s Day. Among other issues, the erudite scholar tried to examine the concept of true love. Should love be celebrated only on one day in a year? Should love be mutual, sacrificial or be based on what one can gain from the other party? What are the fortunes of the less privileged, the orphans and the abandoned ones on Valentine’s Day? Is Valentine’s Day a day to defraud people? What are the games ladies play on Valentine Day? Viewers found answers to all these questions in the episode.
Tchidi Chikere is the producer of the series while Richard Mofe-Damijo and Chief Chika Okpala aka Zebrudayah serve as consultants.
