As Nigeria’s longest-running TV comedy, we remain popular by keeping our storylines and production styles fresh and relevant to viewers of all ages, especially the youth, who constitute the majority of our audience. The new Gen Z Papi production has already received fantastic feedback from a sample audience, and we are excited to share it with everyone.”
