OLUYINKA DAVIDS’ ‘PRIM & PROPER’ SET FOR JULY 1ST
Oluyinka Davids, a Quintessential Nigerian Filmmaker and cinematographer, is set to premiere his new reality series titled, ‘Prim and Proper’, on July 1st, 2022 on MoodBox TV.
The series which is created, produced and directed by US-based Oluyinka Davids focuses on the reality of living in America from an immigrant point of view.
According to the Davids, the series is meant to expose so many things that concern immigrants and to also let people know that life in the US is not all that rosy.
“We are looking at issues from an immigrant perspective, especially in Nigeria, where a great number of people want to ‘Japa’ (leave the country) but are they ready for the hurdles?
The creative director, iFocus Pictures added that he wants to inform and at the same time educate his viewers through the online reality series.
He said: “We are premiering the Pilot Episode on July 1st on YouTube (MoodBox TV).
The series tells the story of two main characters; Yemi Balz and Nkem Mbamalu. Yemi is the guy extroverted prim and proper chic; has a good grasp of the Nigerian culture, is English speaking, yet very fluent in Yoruba and pidgin slang works with the US army but has dreams to become a TV show host.
Nkem is the introverted Prim and Proper best friend kinda babe to Yemi. She’s an IT professional, extremely supportive of Yemi’s dreams and aspirations in life, kindhearted, and considerate to a fault such that she gets screwed for wanting to help others too much. Yemi of course is the voice of reason/Shine ya eye.
Segun Ajayi is Yemi’s friend and Edo Charles is Nkem’s friend. Davids who is known for making good films that tell African stories assured that the series will be an eye-opener, exciting and informative.
