The earlier seasons of this show was a huge “comedic renaissance” in Nollywood. The jokes were hilarious, the actors had an impeccable sense of comedic timing and the writing was good. There’d been a lull in comedy TV since Fuji House x Papa Ajasco. The Johnsons did a thing 💖 https://t.co/kLSaMIUS2y
