Glo’s Professor Johnbull More Than Entertainment

It was not just about entertainment, Globacoms sponsored drama series, Professor Johnbull has a bit further by teaching parents and their children some moral lessons. Bogged by “Get Rich Quick” malaiee which bedevils our society the sitcom has risen to the challenge by educating Nigerians on the need to live by the rules and shun acts that will bring the family and by extension the country to disrepute. The new episode of the sitcom which aired on NTA Network, NTA International on DSTV Channel 251 and NTA on StarTimes at 8.30 p.m. on Tuesday, was titled: “My Pikin Don Hammer”, and harped on the need for parents to query the sources of wealth of their wards before celebrating them. The repeat broadcast aired on the same stations last night. The Executive Producer of the TV Series, directed by Tchidi Chikere, said that “we are of firm belief that the society will be well off, if parents and guardians alike take time to interrogate the sources of wealth of their children and wards to serve as moral guide on those young elements ”. “The prevailing insecurity in the society today and the legion of criminal acts and venal practices common in our society is as a result of the tendency of the people to get rich by all means possible. When a society fails to inculcate moral value on its people, the result can be catastrophic and we are more than convinced that if the society interrogates every facet of the lifestyles of its people, it will be better off. “My Pikin Don Hammer” is a call to action and we are confident that the viewing public will find the episode moralistic enough,” the statement added.
