By Isseu Diouf Campbell
Writer, director, and actor Oliver MBamara premiered episodes of his first TV series titled “Cultures” during the Nigerian Lawyers Association Mixer held at MOMA in Manhattan on May 10, 2012.
The TV series examines cultural conflict – a problem that many immigrants face when leaving their country for a better material life in the Western world.
The series’ main character is Ozobio, a Nigerian banker living in the U.S. who one day gets a surprise guest from Nigeria – his uncle, Chief Anabaraonye Akaekpuchionwa. The uncle came to deliver “the wife” that his family wants him to marry in order to keep his lineage back in Nigeria, but the problem is Ozobio is already engaged to a Chinese-American.
Ozobio tries to keep his life on track while his uncle works hard to make sure that Ozobio will keep his Nigerian culture alive.
