Jenifa’s Diary on AIT tonight!

Just when you thought comedy has vanished from
television, the much-awaited Funke Akindele
Jenifa's Diary debuts on African Independent
Television (AIT) tonight at 7:30PM.

Set to captivate Nigerian TV audience, Jenifa's
Diary is a comedy television series that depicts
the hilarious and amazing adventures of Suliat,
a.k.a Jenifa. A secondary school dropout turned
hairdresser who lives in a backwater town called
Aiyetoro. Jenifa is loud, over-bearing and very
opinionated. She nurses the ambition of leaving
her community and making something of herself.

She is always trying to prove her worth and
wants to be recognized and 'feel among'.

Her competitive spirit with her peers comes to the
forefront when she realizes many of her friends in
Aiyetoro are in higher institutions.

Jenifa is
motivated to leave her community and pursue her
dream of attending a higher institution and
becoming a huge success and to enhance her
status in Aiyetoro.

Jenifa manages to borrow and even swindles one
of her illiterate Aiyetoro 'toasters' to raise enough
money for her exodus to Lagos.

Jenifa's Diary
follows this epic, comedic journey as she arrives
in Lagos and lets all hell loose!

Jenifa's diary will be another innovative, ground
breaking Nigerian comedy concept.

Jenifa is
particularly attached to her diary in which she
writes down her daily experiences and uses the
medium to involve the audience in her thoughts
and actions! Everything that is written in the diary
including the grammatical errors is transcribed
unto the screen and the medium of Jenifa's voice-
over sharing her thoughts further magnifies her
quirks and eccentricities!

Directed by Edmund Eraibe, it is funny, educative,
entertaining with pristine performances and a
rich flavor set to change the face of drama
comedy on Nigerian TV.

It is a perfect set with robust cast and cameo
appearances from Banky W, Beverly Osu,
songstress, Waje, Wunmi Obe, DJ Spinall,
Amaechi Muonagor, Ali Nuhu and Alex Ekubo ,
each with their charm and delivery make for an
amazingly rich comedy experience.

Other talents
in the TV series showing on Nigerian Television
Authority (NTA), African Independent Television,
(AIT),
And Silverbird TV on DSTV include Lota Chukwu,
Kunle Afod, Juliana Olayode Tope Adebayo, Pa
Ojoge, Olaniyi Afonja (Sanyeri), Bash and a lot of
fresh faces with promising talents.

Tune-in tonight for the premiere of Jenifa's Diary
at 7: 30pm on AIT.
