CHRIS ATTOH, EMMANUEL IKUBUESE, SHARON EZEAMAKA,
OTHERS RETURN FOR MTV SHUGA SEASON 4.
Emmanuel Ikubese, Sharon
Ezeamaka, Chris Attoh, Timini Egbuson and Olumide Oworu have been revealed to
return to the long-awaited TV series, Shuga.
Mr Nigeria, Ikubese returns in the role of
unlucky-in-love music promoter, Femi after failing to find happiness with
long-time crush Foye, which was played by OAP, Maria Okanrende in series 3.
Femi who has been living with HIV for many years had more success in
affairs of the heart, although somehow the path of true love never seems to run
smoothly for him in season four.
Troubled teenager Princess, played by Sharon
Ezeamaka, is struggling to deal with her pregnancy after discovering that she
is HIV+, but will her older lover Solomon come through and support his child
after all, or will Princess be left to face things all alone?
Other returning characters include Tobi and
Weki, played by Timini Egbuson and Olumide Oworu respectively.
A number of key roles, including a brand new
family from South Africa, remain to be cast. Auditions for additional
walk on parts will be held at the three On Tour with MTV Shuga events, being
held in March 2015.
A new focus for 2015 will be an increased
emphasis on promoting HIV testing, in partnership with the Elton John AIDS
Foundation, with the goal of encouraging 25,000 youth to get tested, motivated
by a series of special MTV Shuga on Tour festivals to be held nationwide in
March 2015.
Fusing sexual and other public health messaging
with world class storytelling and relatable characters, the new series of MTV
Shuga will focus on a range of themes relevant to young Nigerians,
including adolescent girls, stigma, prevention of mother-to-child transmission
(PMTCT) of HIV, HIV testing and 6222 (NACA helpline), gender based violence,
first sex, and disclosure of HIV status.
