The Hausa Language
TV drama series (with English sub-titles) from Unilever’s Sunlight detergent,
has been on air for nine weeks now in various northern TV stations across
Nigeria.
The
drama series features intriguing story lines woven around Laraba (a school
teacher) and the women in her community on how she helps resolve issues on
crisis and relationship management for members of her community, in an
educative and entertaining way. Through wit and charm she helps the people in
her community navigate through the intrigues in their lives, teaching viewers
important life lessons in the process.
In
episode 8, Kande a 14year-old school student creates chaos by accusing Corper
Aisha of snatching Ahmed - a teacher in her school - from her.
This
leads Kande’s Aunt to report Aisha to Laraba and confront the accused. Aisha is
devastated and packs out of Laraba’s house as a result. Well, this is a very
interesting situation because in reality no such commitment exists between
Kande and teacher Ahmed! Apparently she has a crush on him!
In
this week’s episode, Laraba manages to convince Aisha to come back to the house
but Ahmed would not let her be and she plays hard to get. Finally, Kande
apologizes to Aisha through Laraba’s insistence and there was peace between
them once more.
Jummai
the Laundry woman also gets into trouble with one of her clients and Laraba
through wisdom, helped to solve the crisis by offering a reward of One thousand
naira (N1,000) to anyone who apprehends the thief. Laraba sure has a way of
making things right and calming tensions around her!
According
to the Brand Manager of Sunlight, Ojeabuo Akhiojemi the drama series replicates
a story of a true Sunlight woman (Laraba) who is wise, versatile and
resourceful as she helps her neighbors overcome the issues they face.
In
his words: “The storylines are not only entertaining, but also reflect
every¬day situations that every woman can relate to, and of course, our
listeners have a chance to win prizes when they watch the drama series and
