Highly Rated Mini Series On HIV Shuga Shifts To Nigeria

I have recieved word from my good friend and colleague Kevin Oyugi that after a successful two seasons of the MTV Staying Alive Foundation’s hit TV series Shuga and Shuga: Love Sex Money, there’s a brand new season in the offing, dubbed #ShugaNaija.

and what has my friend talking is the fact that apart from Kenya-based Nigerian actor and musician Ikubese Emmanuel Ifeanyichukwu, aka 9con, who will reprise his role as smooth-talking bad boy Femi from Shuga LSM, alongside one of the series’ most popular characters, actor, singer and radio presenter Nick Mutuma, (who plays Leo), it seems the cast of the brand new season will be totally new to the franchise.

A number of other popular Nigerian musicians are also expected to be involved in cameo and acting roles, following hit turns by artistes Banky W and WizKid in Shuga season 2. Further cast members and roles will be revealed at a later date.

The third series of Shuga will see the action move to Lagos following two seasons set among the bars, hangout joints and clubs of Nairobi, Kenya. Specific themes that will be addressed in the series include the reality of living with HIV in Nigeria, maternal and child health, family planning, teen pregnancy, gender-based violence, gender equality and women’s empowerment.
