The get-rich-quick syndrome which is gradually taking over our society is the focus of the latest episode of Glo-sponsored TV Drama Series, Professor Johnbull.

Titled “My Pikin Don Hammer”, the episode cautions parents in Nigeria not to celebrate the wealth of their wards until they have verified their source of income.

The Executive Producer of the TV Series, Globacom, in a press statement said that, “we are of the firm belief that the society will be well off, if parents and guardians alike take time to interrogate the source of wealth of their children and wards to serve as moral guide to the young ones.”

“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  in its people, the result can be catastrophic and we are 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 learn some lessons from it,” the statement added.

Viewers will find answers to the following posers at the end of the episode: why do ladies of nowadays love money?  Should people be celebrated for their ostentatious living without questioning their source of wealth? How many parents query their children’s wealth these days? What should be the attitude of the public to those who suddenly become wealthy without any visible means of livelihood? How relevant is the axiom that all that glitters is not gold?

“My Pikin Don Hammer” featured a cameo appearance by Megbele crooner and Glo ambassador, Omawumi, alongside the regulars of the sitcom including Professor Johnbull, acted by the Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Elizabeth (Queen Nwokoye), Jumoke (Bidemi Kosoko), Churchill (Jnr. Pope Odonwodo) and Flash (Stephen Odimgbe). Others are Olaniyi (Yomi Fash-Lanso), Caro (Mercy Johnson Okojie), Ufoma (Bimbo Akintola) and Abadnego (Martins Nebo).

The Tchidi Chikere directed sitcom comes up at 8.30 p.m. on NTA Network, NTA International on DSTV Channel 251 and NTA on StarTimes on Tuesday, with a repeat broadcast on Friday at 8.30pm on the same channels.
