Season five of the scintillating TV drama series, Professor Johnbull, sponsored by fully integrated telecoms solutions provider, Globacom, ends this Tuesday with another interesting edition focusing on one of the maladies confronting society.
The episode is entitled Story People and revolves around Ikoku, played by Nollywood actor, Browny Igboewu. Ikoku is a compulsive liar, who goes about telling tales and claiming to know virtually all the high and mighty people in society, including presidents of foreign nations. The series airs at 8.30 p.m. on Tuesday on NTA Network, NTA International on DSTV Channel 251 and NTA on StarTimes.
As viewers watch the entertaining episode, they will marvel at how Ikoku spreads his tales from the gullible Mai Doya (Funky Mallam) to Olaniyi (Yomi Fash-Lanso), and how he succeeds in making the philanderer, Flash (Stephen Odimgbe), believe that he can pass his examinations without reading by drinking a substance that will make his brain become sharp.
Besides, viewers will be anxious to find out why Olaniyi closes his restaurant; if there is a ‘goat-killing licence’ for pepper soup joint owners and if indeed there is a ban on beer consumption because of health concerns.
In Story People, the protagonist of the sitcom, Professor Johnbull (Kanayo O. Kanayo) is in his element as he calls for public sympathy for “compulsive prevaricators” like Ikoku, whom he describes as a “psychopath”.
He cautions against public gullibility and urges people to be on the alert whenever the all-knowing-tale bearers come calling.
The repeat broadcast of Story People comes up on Friday at 8.30 p.m. on the same television channels.
