Glo Professor Johnbull TV Comedy Counsels Eligible Bachelorettes

Viewers of popular TV comedy drama series, Professor Johnbull, sponsored by grand masters of data, Globacom, had more than enough fun on Tuesday night when the sixth episode entitled “Half Bread and Puff-puff”  came on air on NTA network, NTA International (Channel 251 on DSTV) and Startimes on Nigeria Television Authority (NTA Network).

The thought-provoking episode which left many reeling with laughter while soaking in the importance of the message, highlighted the need for ladies in Nigeria to be cautious and wise when making decisions on dating and marriage partners.

The story revolved round the trio of Europe-based lover boy Sani Danja, (Malik), Ufoma acted by Bimbo Akintola and Bidemi Kosoko (Jumoke) as they found themselves in a love triangle due to Malik’s marriage proposals to both Ufoma and Jumoke.

Malik had met stunning beauty, Ufoma while driving around and decided to woo her but met an unfriendly lady who was more interested in selling her yams. All attempts by Malik proved abortive as Ufoma remained unperturbed and ended up telling Malik how she was impregnated by a Europe-based Nigerian who disappeared into thin air many years back.

They were on this issue when Jumoke and her lover boy, Flash, strolled in. Jumoke immediately waded into the matter and succeeded in pulling Malik away. But instead of helping him on the Ufoma issue, she decided to ‘market herself ‘and Malik who was very desperate, agreed to marry her immediately to the  surprise and consternation of Ufoma who watched the ensuing drama in awe. Flash attempted without success to dissuade Jumoke from joining Malik in his car. His attempt met Jumoke’s stiff resistance.

The "new couple” later surfaced at Olaniyi (Yomi Fash-Lanso)’s Nkwobi joint where Olaniyi congratulated them and advised couples to always court for long time before marriage. He asked how long Jumoke had known Malik and she said 5 years which shocked Malik who  whispered to her “that’s a lie. Flash appeared immediately and in annoyance asked Jumoke what she was doing around, to which she answered sarcastically “Exam” and left the joint immediately with Malik only to meet Ufoma on the way and a fight ensued. The appearance of Professor Johnbull outside the joint calmed frayed nerves and he intervened by summoning all of them to his house: “Advance to my house for clarity,” he said.

It was however at Professor’s house that the love quagmire unraveled as Madam Christina (Patience Ozokwor)‘s arrival with her daughter, whose testimony also corroborated the story of escapades of overseas lovers, finally nailed Malik. Slippery Malik had proposed to Ufoma and Jumoke within one hour. The two ladies, joined by Mama G’s daughter, subsequently descended on Malik, beating him silly.

Professor Johnbull, in his characteristic candid manner, condemned the attitude of Casanovas like Malik. He advised ladies to be wise in dating and marrying overseas lovers, saying, ”do not base your decision on what you see which is infatuation, Marry who you know. Be wise”
