New Episode Of Glo’s Professor Johnbull Delves Into Oil Sector Crisis

Professor JohnbullThis week’s episode of Globacom-sponsored TV drama, Professor Johnbull, is dedicated to the exposition of sharp practices in the country’s oil industry. The episode, called “Oil Windfall”, is the fifth of Season Two and will be aired at 8.30 p.m. on Tuesday on NTA Network, NTA International on DSTV Channel 251 and NTA on StarTimes.

With the current economic challenges being faced by Nigeria as a result of dwindling revenues from oil, the theme of this week’s show is considered germane as it brings to the fore the implications of over-dependence on oil as the country’s sole foreign exchange earner.

Globacom in a statement released in Lagos said “Oil Windfall” will also bring to public consciousness the way of life among youths in oil producing areas in relation to heavy reliance on the natural resource.

“The discovery of oil in the country in the early 1960s was no doubt a good development which has led to the growth of the nation’s economy. But over the years, events and situations have come to show that over-dependence on oil also has its own attendant effects,” Globacom stated.  

The statement added that, “the essence of Oil Windfall, the 5th episode of Season 2 of Professor Johnbull, is to educate the public on the negative effects of over-dependence on oil by any economy. We hope it will help in educating our viewers that there are other potential natural resources other than oil that we can tap into for our existence”.

To ensure good dramatization of the episode, humorous comedian, Oguns Baba (Samson), plays a major role in the explication of the literary theme. Viewers will be thrilled to watch him deliver his lines perfectly with his unadulterated “Waffi” enunciation. They will also find out the real essence of oil windfall. Is Samson genuinely fraudulent or just over-ambitious? What is Professor Johnbull’s response to the agitation of the victims?

Other regular faces on the programme will also feature in the week’s edition. They include Kanayo O. Kanayo (Professor Johnbull), Yomi Fash-Lanso (Olaniyi); Imeh Bishop (Etuk); and Stephen Odimgbe (Flash). Others are Bimbo Akintola (Ufoma); Mercy Johnson Okojie (Caro);   Queen Nwokoye (Elizabeth); Funky Mallam (Mai Doya) and MC 4 God (Abednego).
