Comedy series, Professor Johnbull, canvases gender equality

Professor Johnbull

Does the sex of a child determine how far the child will go in life? Is a male child more important than the female child? Given the same affection and care, will the girl-child thrive like her male counterpart? These and many more are the posers to be addressed on Episode 7 of the scintillating TV drama series, Professor Johnbull, sponsored by Globacom this Tuesday.

The star-studded satire, which is fast gaining popularity amongst TV viewers in the country because of its sublime humour and thematic relevance, comes up on Tuesday at 8.30 p.m. on NTA Network, NTA International on DSTV Channel 251 and NTA on StarTimes. It will address yet another germane socio-cultural issue in the Nigerian society.

Tagged Baby Bomboi, Episode 7 chronicles the sundry discriminatory acts against the girl-child and the widespread predilection for boys in a patriarchal society like Nigeria.

How does Athan, acted by Stan Kamandi, receive the news of the birth of his fifth consecutive girl? How will the prescient, voluble and magisterial Professor Johnbull react to this societal bane? What will be the reactions of the regular members of the cast to the plight of the girl-child?

Find out as Baby Bomboi is unravelled as Episode 7 of Professor Johnbull. In addition to the original broadcast on NTA Network, NTA International on DSTV channel 251 and NTA channel on StarTimes at 8.30 p.m. this Tuesday, the repeat broadcasts will be shown on the same channels on Friday and at the same time.
