The antics of slay queens, a tag given to ladies who have a penchant for frivolities rather than substance is the slice of life being enacted this week on didactic TV drama series, Professor Johnbull, which is sponsored by Globacom.
Titled Pepper Dem Gang, the new episode is scheduled for broadcast on Tuesday on NTA Network, NTA International on DSTV Channel 251 and NTA on StarTimes at 8.30 p.m. with a repeat broadcast on Friday at same time on the same channels.
Veteran TV drama personnel, Chief Chika Okpala, aka, Zebrudayah, makes a cameo appearance in the episode.
Pepper Dem Gang is replete with jokes, hilarity and lessons as the lead character of the sitcom, Professor Johnbull, acted by Nollywood legend, Kanayo O. Kanayo (KOK), dissects the concept of slay queen, throwing up issues as to why most ladies adopt more than one birthday dates in a year; why most dress-to-kill ladies lack basic idea of the image they portray and why slay queens adopt appellations different from the names given to them at birth.
As the episode builds up to its climax, suspense snowballs and viewers will try to unravel what Flash (Stephen Odimgbe) does when duty calls for him to defend Jumoke (Bidemi Kosoko) against one of the biggest slay queens acted by Ese Eriata, one of the fake housemates in the last episode of the reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria (BBN).
Lovers of Professor Johnbull should not miss this week’s episode in order to find out why there is unhealthy rivalry among ladies.
They will also find out if the concept of slay queen is reflective of the Nigerian culture or not, whether the fake life styles of slay queens tally with their intelligence and what the connotative and denotative meanings of slay queens are.
